The crisis of the railway strike in this City was reached yesterday evening when the Philadelphia troops who had been sent Here to suppress the strikers fired upon the i crowd. The terribly fatal effect of the shots i fired by the troops exasperated the citizens i As Well As the strikers and in less than an j hour thousands of workingmen from the rolling Mills Coal mines and various manufacturing establishments hurried to the scene of the conflict determined to have revenge on the troops and railway officials. It was stated that Gen. Pearson had directed the troops to tire before any resistance bad been made and the fact that Many of those killed and wounded had gathered on the hillsides merely As spectators served to increase the bitterness of the crowd.

About ten of clock in the evening a mob numbering several thousands congregated about the round House. They had previously captured the guns belonging to the Hutchinson Battery a local organization and planted them so As to command the Roundhouse. Several solid shots were tired at the building and a breach made in the Walls but when the infuriated mob attempted to Rush into the building the military were ordered to fire. The volleys of musketry which followed and the Rumor that the Gatling guns of the command were being brought into requisition caused a panic and the mob fled precipitately the military meanwhile keeping up the fusillade.
