comments on the varieties in the diet Of his

shat the winds near the equator, on The south

latitude, the wind during exactly half Che

southern hemisphere is sufficient to account

LATER.

ST. LOUIS, May 10-Midnight.-Justb before
the troops started for the city, and while the
State troops were drawn mp between two
lines of United States Volunteers, several
crooks" were thrown at the volunteers, and
a few pis toll shots fred by excited parties In
the surrounding crowd, which WAS com osed
of q large number of citizens, including many
women.
Que shot took effect in the leg OF Captain
BlanlaWsky and as he fell, he gave the word
TO fire. which was obeyed by some two or
three companies resulting In the death OF up
wards OF twenty persons, including two wo-
men and several children, and badly wound
lug several others.
THE KILLED The following are the only
names of those killed that can be ascertained
At this hour: Walter Mcdowell, Thomas A.
Haven, Nicholas Kuoblach, Emily Summers,
(probably fatally W0unded,) Clalrborne VIII
son. Truman Wright.
This unfortunate occurrence has produced
an intense excitement IN the city. Large bo-
dies of men are thronging the streets.
The Democrat and AnZieger (Republican)
news Dr. per offices have been threatened by
the mob but through the promptness of the
monstration thus far has been prevented.
All the gun shops in the city are guarded by
bodies of armed police.
About two hundred policemen have been
detailed to protect the Democrat and AnziegeI
offices.
The lateness of the hour precludes the pos
sibility of getting more reliable Information
tonight.

One of the frat merchants in Richmond,

"You were misinformed when told that l
