saturdays TRAGEDIES.
Another act in the terrible drama of blood
tina, opened so fearfully on Friday, was en-
acted Saturday evening, and six more VIC
Tins were added to the already sad list of
dead. Two scenes CT blood so close together
and so frightful in their results, have sell
dom before plunged city into mourning
At about half past five o'clock in the even
ing, large body of the German Home
Guards entered the city through third street
from the Arsenal, where they had been en-
listed during the day, and furnished with
arms. Large crowds collected TO witness
their march, and they passed unmolested
along until they reached Walnut, when
they turned up that street and proceeded
westward. Large crowds were collected
on these corners, who hooted and Kissed as
the companies passed, and one man stand
ing on the steps OF the church fired a revol-
yer into the ranks. A soldier fell dead,
when two more shots were fred from the
windows of house near by. At this time
the head of the column, which reached as
far as Seventh, suddenly turned and, lev
cling their rifles, fired down the street, and
promiscuousiy among the spectators, who
lined the pavements. Shooting as they
did. directly towards their own resr ranks.
they killed some of their men as well as
those composing the crowd. The shower
of bullets was Tor moment terrible, and
the only wonder is that more lives were
not lost. The missiles of lead entered the
windows and prefrrated the doors of pri-
vate residences, tearing the ceilings and
throwing splinters In every direction.
