While the angry women swarmed the streets a concerted at tack was made upon the company restaurant from the rear and, setting upon the negro cooks with ladles, pokers and cooking spoons, about fifty women beat an entrance Into the kitchens of the establishment and made off with five barrels of potatoes, a barrel of onions and other eatables. A more serious riot occurred meanwhile near a viaduct over the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad.
