the brick walls Of the dwelling, dashing out
pieces of brick, and making large holes in the
walls The FIRE was returned from several
points with guns and revolvers, and with bricks
by the crowd. Several soldiers we're wounded
here, but II is thought no citizens we're struck
by the bullets OF the soldiers. The faces Of
many Of the soldiers, as seen through the car
windows, were streaming with blood from cuts
received from the shattered glass Of car win

their passage along Pratt street, were taken out
of the car In bleeding and fainting condition
at the Camden station, and transferred to the
other cars.

with the soldiers who marched, or rather ran /,
through town, was terrific. Large piving
stones were hurled into The ranks from every
direction, the negroes who were about the wharf

soldiers again broke into run, but another
