THE KLEorIoS I~EsrFRDAx-RToT All BLOOD
SHED. 81
The election for members Of the first branch
Of. the City Council yesterday, resulted IN the
election Of nearly all the American candidates,
and IL is to be regretted that blood was again
shed, Sergeant William Jour5an having lost
Lis life, and several others were seriously
shot. At an early hour in the morning It was
evident that there would be trouble IN some
of the wards, but that was obviatsd By the
I AkAL4A " u JUL VI II aAAN aAN
dates.
In the First Ward there was but little OPP
position offered TO the majority party, and
beside a few skirr isbes there was no trouble.
In the Second Ward il was stated that the
Democrats we're exc uded from the polls, but
there was not much. violence. About half
past one O'Clock there was a cry for TIE boys
to rally, and they gave pursuit to a man who
ran up Canal street, and finally escaping by
jumping through a callar window aud going BY
wav OF Eden street. The crowd ia pursuit
were armed with new aud bright barreled
horse pistols, most OF which were fired at
the party running, without, however, reaching
him.
In the Third Ward there was some fighting
with fists, at an earlF hour in the morning, but
afteTWaTd all was quiet.
In the Fourth Ward there was no opposition
to the American candidate and the day passed
off quietly.
In the Fifth Ward a sanguiuary conflict took
place. About half-past one O'Clock a party
passing Up Gay street on ths top of an 0mni-
bus, hred a pistol in the direction of the crowd
standing about the house where the polls were
held, and then Jumped of and ran dORn Gay
street. He was followed By a number Of per-
sons, who gained OH him 50 rapidly that he
took refuge in the store Of Mr.. Jehu Gcrsuch,
at the corner Of Front street, aod escaped BY
going on top Of the building and descending
through another house. The pursuing parties
then returned to the polls, when a fight took
place, and one Of the contending crowds re-
treated down Higl towards French street.
There were a Lumotr OF police officers at hand,
and they used every effort to quell the riot.
I When then reached the corner Of High street,
a volley was fred up French street from the
corner Of Buren, AMI it is said from the win
dows of Jackson Hall. One Of the balls
struck Sergeant JOurdsn, who said Il an
shot, . fell and expired IN few minutes. Al
that time there was the greatest possible eX-
element. Tie bodTw was then taken in charge
BY Lieutenant Carmichael, and started for his
late residence
The body having been brought to his late
residence in Ann street, between Eastern and
Canton avenues, accompanied BY a numosr Of
the officers and friends Of thedeeeased, It was
