The police forces remained on the divid-
ing line of the two cities at two O'clock yes
teiday morning. When intelligence reached
Governor Warmoth of the troubless condi-
ton of things; how the insurgent Jeffer-
sonians had dared the regularly constitu-
ted authotities, repelling the Metropolitan
Police with murderous volley of firearms
from nm ambush in the City Hall, he sought
ON interview with Superintendent Cain, and
obtained from him verbal report of what
had occurred.
Earlyin the morning stray shots were
heard within the limits of Jefferson City,
and about five o'clock alarm bells were
ringing, and bold, desperate and defiant
men, armed with muskets, and fireman in
their red shirts were hastening toward the
market house, prepared for offensive or de-
fensive warfare.
When il became fully known that por-
ton of the inhabitants Of our sister city
were still belligerent, Governor Warmoth
linallyealled on General Mower for military
aid to crush the rebellion, and, of course,
a favorable reply was Immediately given
General Mower dispatched an order to the
barracks below the city for battalion of
infantry and three pieces of artillery two
Gatlin guns and brass ten-pounder.
These were Immediately forwarded by the
way of the river to the upper portion of the
city. The infantry and artillery formed at
the head of the MetropoEtans in the lower
part of Jefferson City and marched to the
CITY Hall near Napoleon avenue As they
passed along, about nine o'clock yesterday
morning, hundreds of men were seen run
ming to and fro in the cross streets, but
when the market house was reached few
persons were visible. There were no ma
rauders or rufians to oppose; no suburban
police, no firing from behind fences and
from windows. The insurgents had van
ished
Captain Cain, in company with Governor
Warmoth, General Mower and the Metro
politan Police Commissioners, visited the
station house, where they found only q
ailer in charge. Taking the keys from
him, they opened the prison doors and re-
leased three of New Orleans policemen
The infantry stacked arms on the common,
while the Metropolitans, under the lead of
Captain Schneider, proceeded in squads to
patrol the streets few unimportant ar
rests we're made of meu who seemed in
clined to have too much to say and to be
defiant. However, they were not long held
prisoners, being released on parole
A somewhat curious circumstances that
none of the bravadoes of the previous
might we're known or found. No inquiry
or search ferreted out Mayor Kreider or
his lieutenant, Lethieque. During the
search several muskets and other firearms
were gathered in from odd places.
At ten o'clock yesterday morning every
thing in the town, except in the immediate
neighborhood of the City Hall, was quiet,
as usual, people pursuing their daily avoca-
tions; nor was their any thought that
further disturbance would occur, All evi-
IDENTIFY accepted the situation and
acknowledged the Metropolitan Police as q
| fixed fact.
Among the many rumors current during
the excitement twas positively stated that
has occurred. Sergeant Gleason is neither
killed or harmed-he was ON duty yester-
day. The wounded men are all out OF
danger.
A man named John Parker cripple,
was arrested in the morning and brought
down here and placed in the Central Sta
ton charged with murder. He is Grip
pie, and was night watchman up there.
II is said he is the man who fred the first
shot.
During the day Mayor Kreider was found
in bed in private residence, quite sick.
He was not disturbed ON that account
DR.. McCabe. surgeon Of Metropolitan Po-
lice, was one of the prisoners at the Jeffer-
son Jail when Captain Cain opened the
cells.
Capt Cain last night relieved the force
in jefferson, who had been on duty long
time. They were replaced by new men
from the several precincts.
