serious riot was tbre ,teped. but good couu-
sci snd the prompt efforts Of the police and
good citizens succeeded in preserving peace
A 9 the procession was passing Parker's Hall
going towards the Capitol, a crowd gathered in
the avenue in that vicinity and addressed va
rious tantaliziDg remarks towards those ia the
line of procession. ALI seemed to he taken in
good hpmor M til a soldier with a torch passed
near the sidewa ak following a WAGON outside
OF the procession genteel looking youEg
fellow seized the folders torch and was aided
by another The soldier, though wounded, was
too strong and active for his opponent, and
rescued his torch from his assailant's hand
and dealt the latter blow on the head that
made HIM back water. The soldier then turreei
on the assailaDt and walloped him severely
with the torch staff. Officer Frazier took the
asseIlant into custody and several citizens sue
ceeoed in quieting the soldier, who was very
angry, and pushing vigorously in pursuit OF
his assaIant. The prisoner was taken to the
Fourth Ward Station for safe Keeping. I'm.
mediately after this fight the Mcclellan flag
was fired as above stated.
While the flag was burning, a lad of Is years
named Thos. Coakley seized a stick of wood
and went to wagon in the procession and
struck either at q man or at the transparency
the man was carrying. Officer Ssibold arrest
ed him and took him to the Fourth Ward Sta.
ton for safe Keeping.
Immediately that the flames had been ex-
tin guished the flag was run out amid cheers
from the Mcclellan men, who afterwards held
indignation meetings In their hall and on the
sidewalk, in which Messrs. Aiken. Geary,
Clampitt and others denounced the act in warm
terms, and resolutions were passed that por
tions of the flag should be sent to every Nc
Clellan club in the country.
With these exceptions, the affair passed OFF
in excellent order, a fact rather remarkable, in
view of the immense number of persons on the
streets and the amount Of cannon firing and
incessant and rather eccentric discharge OF
fireworks going on throughout the evening.
The procession was about 40 minutes pass
ing given point and when spre ad out under
the eye in line on any of the broad avenues the
effect, with the myriad of transparencies,
torches, fireworks, cannon firing and monitor
discharges, was most impressive.
The getters- up of the affair must have be-
slowed great labor and pains ON the underta-
king to make it so brilliantly successful
