REVOLT IN THE ST.. Louis WORKHousE.-A
horseman ut full speed arrived at about seven
clock last evening at the City Hall. from the
orkhOuse, with the rather startling intelli-
genee that the prisoners were simultaneously
making violent exertions to break from confins-
ment, and were threatening vengeance for the
death Of one Of their number, who had been
shot fatally by the guard. The Mayor, Capt.
Kick, and twelve policemen at snce armed
themselves and proceeded in an omnibus TO the
scene Of violence.
His Honor, with the Captain and a portion of
the force, returned at Ut o'clock, leaving all
quiet, and the remainder Of their party Oh
guard TO preserve tranquility
Jack Smith, adesperate fellow committed
for vagrancy some three months ago. had made
many threats Of vengeance upon the guard,
the well-known officer Frank Giles whose yipi-
lance is said to have frustrated several recent
attempts on the part Of the prisoners to escape
Smith had become So refractory and unman-
ageable that the guard determined TO confine
him at the ring bolt, or bull ring and was
about to execute the determination when
Smith sternly defed him, and swore resistance
10 the last extremity. Giles threatened to fire
unles. he submitted and obeyed but Smith
only cursed him, and sarcastically taunted him
with being too cOwardly to fire. Thus irritated
and defed, Giles at length discharged his pis-
tOl, the contents entering Smiths abdomen and
causing q shocking wound.
At the instant the wounded man sprang upon
the guard with an iron bar, striking him on
the face and prostrating him The superin-
tendent at once had Smith, who was dying, a.
well cared for as possible, and, for a satisfac-
tory Investigation, promptly placed Gile. under
arrest.
BY this time the passions Of the prisoners
were wrought to pitch little short of frenzy
and they were making formidable efforts TO
break from the cells, swearing to infiict death
upon the guard. But they were harmless
having fortunately been, though but a short
time before, removed from the yard to separate
and strong confinement. They only succee led
IN breaking windows and doing other trivial
damage.
The Mayor and police arrived to find the ex-
cltement subsiding. Smith still living and the
guard confined. The latter was removed to the
calabOOse. Smith expired shortly after their
arrivals L0uIs Democrat, Oct I6
