HOW THE MOB TREATED SOLDIER.
AS Captain G.. A Gudath. recently ap
pointed in one of the new regiments form
ing in this city, was. On Wednesday after
noon, about five o'clock. passing through
Tenth street, between Second and Third
avenues. he was set upon by a crowd Of
about hundred men and boys, who, see-
ing his uniform, began stoning him from
behind the corners of tho street. Captain
Gudath stopped and faced the mob, who
did not dare to show themselves in plain
sight, as he was armed with his revolver,
but they continued to hurl missiles and
then dodge behind some cover. Severa.
times he was struck by the stones, but
manfully stood his ground. knowing that
to rnn would be the signal for more muir
derous onslaught
AT length two stones, thrown in rapid
succession, struck him on the right arm
and right shoulder, paral wing his arm and
causing it to drop useless by his side. No
sooner did the Infatuated devils perceive
this than they rushed upon him, overpow-
cred him. knocked him down, and one arm
ed with long bowie-knife. struck terri
BILE blow with its point upon Ne head OF
the fallen Captain. The blood Immediate
ly poured out in crimson stream. filling
his eyes, drenching his face. and complete
ly covering his body with gore. His pis-
toll and sword were taken from him, his
pockets rined OF SIS. and one, more furi-
Gus than the rest, proposed to dispatch
him with bis own sword: but he was dis
suaded by the others, on the ground that
the Captain was already dead, which con-
clusion his appearance seemed fully to
justify. They then left him, when he
crawled into the basement of house near
by and begged for some water with which
to wash himself, and something to staunch
his wound. While making this request.
a man came into the room where he was,
and demanded, in fierce tone: "Do you
belong to our party?" Capt. Gudath, in
feeble voice, replied that he did not know
to what party he referred. but that by
looking at his uniform it was easy to see
what party he himself belonged to.
The. man then gave orders that be sho' d
leave the house. The Captain said he
could not go into the street in his then con.
dition. as he would be surely murder

msnt into the back yard. A high wall
separated this from tho adjoining yard,

step ladder, but this was denied him. He
then managed to Chamber up the lattice
