ST. LOUIS, July 31.—Nothing new is Imported regarding the railroad business all trains on all roads are running regularly, and all the men working as usual. Two companies of state troops left East St. Louis, this morning, for Sprinfield three for Galesburg, and all the remainder of the force, excepting perhaps two companies, will have left( to-morrow morning. Two of the executive committee of railroad strikers at East St. Louis were si rested to-day, and otheri are expected to be captured. As A fitting close of the week's labor, and as an cxhitionof the strength of the citizen soldiery called into service to protect property and put down lawlessness, a parade was had, this evening, of

the

various companies

organised last week under call of the mavor and committee of^ safety. There were five regiments in line, composed of some forty companies, and a full battery •of artillery, the whole under command of General A. J. Smith, who rode at the head of the column, with his staff. The column left four courts at 5 o'clock, marched through several miles of the principal streets, and was greeted by such a concoyrse of people along the line of march as has not been seen in 8t. Louis fot years. Everywhere it went it received the plaud«ts of the crowd, and everybody was astonished at the soldierly bearing and proficiency in drill and movement it exhibited. The effect cannot bat be good, in showing not only the turbulent and lawlees element what can be done to put down mobocracy and violence, but to J\11 good and peaceable citizens, the power of the authorities to protect them and preserve the peace. The Quincy national guards, the Peoria national blues, the Peoria veteran blues, and The ^Belleville guards who were guests of,the brigade, and were assigned the posts of honor in the line, mad^ a splendid appearance their uniforms, and were much praised for the precision of their drill and accuracy of marching.

NASHVILLE, July 31.—Six engineers arrived here from Evansville, to-night, to take out freight trains to-morrow. The strikers had a talk with three and sent them back. United States Marshal Wheat, hearing of this, prohibited any strikers from seeing others, and unless the strikers see and talk the engineers out of it, trains will be moved to-morrow. The strikers say they will in no wise molest trains, but will keep engineers'from going out, if they can get a chance to talk them out of it. They also say they will return to work if the management will do away with classification of engineers, ai.d allow the same pay to an engineer who has run twelve months after finishing an apprenticeship, and pay laborers living prices. «f, $100,000 TO BE DIVIDED.

National Guards, arrived in this city this morning, from ColnmbuB, and were received, enthusiastically, by a large number of citizens. They were conducted to their armeny, where a banquet was prepared, and appropriate addresses made. Further difficulty is expected at Columbu.o, and they were discharged, with orders to be prepared to return to-mor-row, at a call from Governor Young.

COLUMBUS, July 30, 10 a. m.—The strikers have complete control of the C. C. & I. C. yards. They appointed a yard master of their own, and prevented all freight trains from leaving. When the 3:30 mail and passenger train was about to leave the strikers told the conductor to step down and out, as they had a man of their own to take the train out. When Supt. Miller discovered ihis, he ordered a discontinuance of the train, and sent the mail coach around by way of Xenia. The strikers made up freight trains and furnished crews to take them out, hut abandoned the enterprise. The soldiers who were here Saturday went home yesterday, and as there was no military or police about the strikers had everything their own Way. They are apparently good natured and seem bent upon no mischief beyond interference with trains. The leaders of the strikers to-day were strangers, believed to be rioters driven out of Pittsburg and other places, who have come here to stir up similar trouble. Bui very few of the strikers who have been engaged in obstructing trains were recognized as employes of the company. It is belie red there would be no ihtert'erence with the company's property if the meddling interlopers were taken away. Tnere is no interference with any of the other roads. The.B. A O. company is not yet receiving freight for shipment from this point, and no freight trains have yet gone out. Manager Caldwell made an application to the mayor for police, this afternoon, but the mayor declined to detail men until a riot occurred. Governor Young was also applied to, and responded by ordering oat twenty-three companies ot militia. They will arrive to-morrow, when it is,believed that vigorous measures will be taken to suppress

lawlesn

terference with the trains. A man i.amed Lewis Ker.-chner was anested this evening for piecing obstructions on the Sciota valley railroad track, 7 miles from the citv, Saturday evening. Kersctiner confessed that his purpose was to wreck the train, and evidence is strong against him. Considerable excitement prevail4 again to-nigbt in the ci'y, and additional special police are being sworn in. Business is very much depressed, by the railroad trouble, and merchants are beginning to complain of the deleterious effects on trade. M.nager Caldwell, of the P. C. & S. L. railroad, has received the following, which explains tteJf.

PIQUA, O., July 30,—We, the undersigned law-abiding citizens, tailoring and business men, of Piqua, Ohio, and vicinity, recognizing the absolute necessity to all classes of business for the immediate resumption of railroad traffic, do hereby tender to the civil authorities of Miami county, and to the officers of Ue P., C.'& St. L. railway company and D. 4 M. company, our aid and assistance in tfeftsuppresuon of all unlawful acts in opposition to the peaceable pursuit of their legitimate business. For this purpose we do hereby organize ourselves into a safety committee, and pledge Ourselves, so faf as lies in our power, to protect the railroad companies in running all trains through the city of Piqua.

Signed by the members of the^ city council, fire department, and 400 citizens. Mr. Caldwell sent a reply, thapking the citizens for tbeir prompt action in the matter- m-tktish'

THE BALTIMORE RIOT INVESTIGATION. BALTIMORE, July 30— Inquiry into causes which led to the death of ten persons at the riot on the evening of the 26th, when the 16th Begiment fired into the mob, began to-day. The testimony showed that several soldiers were knocked down before anv shooting took place by them, and that they fired without orders from the'colonel. Captain Tappen, who commanded the detachment, testified that as soon as the doors were opened a volley of stones and other missiles poured in a perfect shower on the soldieis, some of whom were on the stairway and some on the landing. Shots were fired over his head by some of his men. He succeeded in reaching the street, where he formed his men and gave the order, several times, to charge bayonets. At no time did he give orders to fire, and did not even give orders to load. Tried to stop the firing, intending to use the bayonet qnly, and recollected saying to his men,

FOR GOD'S SAKE QUIT FIRING." Heard the reports of several pistol shots from the crowd which was in the rear of his men. Started with forty-five men from the armory, and had thirtyfive when he reached Camden station. Heard threats that not a man of the regiment should leave the armory alive. Was frequently appealed to by some of his men to allow them to wheel and fire on the mob, but he did not give the order. He believed if his men had not fired they would not. have heen able to retain their muskets.

CAPT. FALLON,

junior commandant, .testified* that of ihirty-eix men he had on starting, he hail .• only nineteen when he reached Camden station. Several men were severely hurt by the mob, on Baltimore street, and some of' them were carried off for dead. The crowd numbered fully 3,000 uersons. Noticed many children qpd women in the crowd in front of the armory. If the soldiers had not fired indiscriminately they might possibly bave ne7er reached Camden station. He did not regard the men as demoralized thought that the firing was strictly in

Eelf-duense.

ARRESTED. _h X! wij/'

ARfcfesV A'BIESEi-

THE LIGHT-GUARDS

TRR

It is with great pain that the GAZETTE refers to the arrest last evening of prominent citizen who has hitherto borne an untarnished reputation. It was made by the Light-Guards and was for an offense against that organization of a very grave character, being no less than a failure to drill, or, as the indictment read on which he was tried by a drum-head court Martial, for "destruction." It seems that when the Light Guards was first organized, Mr. Chauncey Warren was enrolled as a member. Though active, vigilant and brave at first, he has been quite apathetic since the parade on the Fourth of July on which occasion it is said, he perspired, so freely that a gallon of water was wrung from his uniform at the conclusion of the drill. F'nes have been imposed for his non attendance it the drills, but he has not appeared at the arinorv

pay the same. Last night the

officers and men made up their minds thai this thing had progressed as far as they couid permit it. So Corporal Frank Hurty was sent out with a squad consisting of privates Will Donaghoe, Frank Barton, Ed O'Boyle and tfarry Warren to hunt up the deserter and bring him to the armory. At nine o'clock in the evening, in lull uniform and with loaded guns and oayonetsfixed, they started on the search. They found him on the corner of Sixth and Main. He was informed that he was under arrest and ordered to fall into the center of the squad. He did so with considerable trepidation, and was marchefl to the armory. There before a high tnbunal consisting of Capt. Wood, Lieutenant Armstrong and Orderly Ser'gt Larr he was arraignied. He plead gui.ty and his punishment was fixed at bibulous refreshments for the, famished company. He paid, Jhe, fine then and there. ts
