Il.
purpose of vouching for another gentlemen IN |
the same line, was seized by this same Toeia and |
violently dragged from his place; n Atter Ter
some eight of the associates OF the deputy" |
knocked down, kicked and beaten. Escaping |
finally from the clutches OF his assatlants, he |
procured warrant for the arrest OF the |
"roughs,n and proceeded with Sergeant Crout |
and couple OF the Reserve officers to hunt |
them up. They could fnd none of them except |
Tob,n, who was first spied at Delmonico's |
saloon, on Ninth street. above Chestnut, and
thence followed to the Continental hotel
AS the Sergeant approached him, Tobin dis
played large two-feet long pistol, and uttering
an oath, threatened TO fire it If the officer came
near. The Sergeant, not to be intmidated,
still advanced, his comrades running around
aud getting in the rear of the beligerant deputy
Tobn seeing his predicament, did ure, as he
said he would, and sent ball, just clearing the
head of one of the policemen. The weapon was
then knocked from his hand and he was taken
Into custody.
After a bearing before the Judge he was held
In $1,000 bail on the charge of unlawfully inter
fering with a citizen at the polls, aud also in
$4,000 bail on the charge of carrying concealed
deadly weapons.
Mr.. whitney, the well-known brewer, went
his bail.
The case did not end here, for the deputy"
and his sympathizers appeared before Alderman
White, of the Fifth ward, and sued out a war
rant for the arrest OF Sergeant Crout Reserve
officers Kendig Newman, and Hess, charging
them with breach of the peace, assault and
battery, and inciting to riot.
The deputy" testified that citizen had
called on the Sergeant, and made complaint OF
disturbance at the polls in SAMSON street,
above Eighth, and the officer, with assistance,
had taken the party away without a warrant;
further, that their pIeseHce did not tend to
preserve the peace of the city, and that the
Sergeant drew revolver on Tobin. This latter
statement was not true, for the Sergeant had no
revolver when he advanced to Tobtn, nor was
one drawn by him.
After the evidence the Alderman held the
officers In $500 bail TO answer. Bail was
promptly offered and accepted.
While the hearing was going on, High Con-
stable Clark, with posse of men, remained at
the door of the Alderman's office, with writ of
| hdbedS corpus to produce the parties in Court
| before Judge Ludlow, but bail having beea
accepted, no action was taken on the writ
This fellow Tobin has already once or twice
been charged with , various offenses-can be
and is fair sample of the excellent deputies
appointed by Lyle.
ANOTHER POLICEMAN EXPECTED TO DIE.
Since the decision Of the partisan Justice
sharswood, on Saturday last many of the
| roughs have an idea til at the law will protect
them IN any assault they may make on police
men.K0n Monday night last there was a fracas
| at Seventh and Shippen streets, which was
temporarily interrupted by the appearance of
Officers Young and johnson, OF the First district
| force. However, the crowd rallied and beat
back these eonseryators Of the PUBLIC peace,
| nature upon Mr. Young that his life is despaired
| of. No arrests were made.
FOREIGNER ASSAULTED.
On Monday night, Portuguese gentleman wa$
assaulted by ,eI a gang Of fellows, on Chestnut
the head with club. Thomas McAnally,
| alleged TO have been one of the perpetrators of
| this daring outrage, has been arrested and COM
| mitted to prison by Alderman Lungren.
RoUGns ON THE RAMPAGE.
The Democratic repeaters, colonists, aud
plugs, jubilant over their ruitess victory in this
city yesterday at the polls. did not desert the
vicinity of Chestnut street until almost daybreak
this morning. "Benzne" and "bugjuice," pro-
! cured at different Democratic drinking dens,
warmed fictitious courage in the hearts of
these ''unterri6ed." and, as might have been ex-
| pected, they were eager and ready for fray.
About half-past one o'clock A. NJ. a party Of
them, alleged to have been headed by the noto
| rious Sam. Carson, made murderous assault
| on three police officers at Seventh and Chestnut
streets. A number of citizens were quietly
standing on the corner, and near by them the
officers when the roughs came up. Impudenty
staggering and Dragging, the latter began an
alteration with the former, which soon grew
heated and promised a row. The officers then
interfered, when one OF the roughs produced
revolver and shot Policeman Stiles through the
breast, infiicting wound which will in all like
| lihood result in his death.
| Word of the shooting was communicated to
the Central Police Station, where large posse
of police were in reserve. They proceeded up
Chestnut street and came across the rioters
about Eighth street. Here the party ran, and
in their flight fred several shots at the officers
district, was shot through the ankle. A ball
grazed the breast of Officer Bayletts, and Officer
| McKlbben received a wound in the lett cheek.
AS soon as the firing commenced the roughs
separated some running down Ninth street, and
| others into cellars along Chestnut street. The
police drew their revolvers In the chase, intend
| ing to fire, but owing to the manner in which
| the fugitives ran, 1t was unsafe for them to dis
charge their weapons.
Robert Walker, one of the rioters and resi-
dent of Allegheny city, was noticed firing two
shots, one Of which, it is said, struck officer
Hodges. He was followed into restaurant and
| captured, and when searched at the police sta
| tion, two TevolVers were found on his person,
| encased in belt around his waist. Both had
/ been fired, and q number of cartridges were
found in his pockets.
During the chase some eight shots were fired
| by the roughs. Sam Carson was arrested, as
well as Charles Gerline. George Kirby, Owen
| McCabe, Hugh Barr, Marshal f. Barr Oscar
Regap, and Matthew MeOusker. Nearly all of
these rioters had revolvers in their possession.
They were locked up for hearing.
THE ''REPEATERs" HoMEwARD BOUND.
This morning the trains running from our
city to New York and Baltimore were crowded

finishing their dirty work, were on their way

lains; unhappily for the places where they live
| they have gone to again molest them with their
baleful presence
