ed, stating that she was native of Hopkin-
ton, and school teacher in Manchester, and
held note of $500 signed by Mr.. r. S. French
of Hopkintop, who is doing -four business in
Concord. She said Mr.. French was out of
town or she should have collected it. She
wished her life insurance deducted from the

suspicious of its genu: ness and declined to ac-
cept it, Yesterday c. w. Stanley of Manches-
ter presented the note to Mr.. French for pay
ment, who pronounced it forgery. Mr.. Stan

NorwIrHsrAND. SG the heavy shower which
occurred about the time advertised for the
steamer to leave, the two Baptist societies per-
severed in their intentions yesterday, and COM
pletey filled the Charles Houghton. The run
10 south Freeport was comparatively pleasant,
put the pleasures Of the day were fir frequently
interrupted by showers. The cabins of the
steamer, large sail loft on shore and many of
the private houses furnished shelter for the
crowd, and if the outdoor sports were inevita-
bly, postponed, there was much merriment in
doors. The homeward run was slow and tedi-
Gus on account of dense fog, but the comnanv
kept up their spirits, and the day was much
enjoyed, we think, by a majority of the party
in spite of their misbaps.

TERRIBLE RIOT-FOUR MEN Kill ED AND SEW
ERAL WOUNDED.
The Orangcmen of this city were celebrating
the battle of Boyne at Elm Park to-day, when
they were attacked by party of { , Irish la
borers whose anger had been reused by some
nationality and faith. The assailants used
stones 9nd the implements with which they
had been working, and the Orangemen defend.
ed themselves with their pistols. Thos. Grady
was shot in the head and instantly killed: also
John Brady a boy IA years old, together with
another man, name unknown, and four others
were fatally injured, and large number Of
others were slightly injured. The police sur
rounded the spot and succeeded by vigorous
use of their clubs in quelling the riot. Subse-
Quently cars conveying Orangemen down town
were attacked and several persons wounded
and the cars badly damaged. Thomas Kane
was met in Central Park by Orapgemen and
fatally stabbed. The affair created the widest
confusion in the neighborhood of its occur
renee.
LATER.
From the latest account received at the po-
lice headquarters up to midnight, it appears
that the riot assumed more serious proportions
than at first supposed. There are two versions
of the difficulty Superintendent Jourdan
states that the Orangemen played party tunes
and used insulting and ungeAtlemanly words
and finally threw stones at the workingmen
and fired several shots before any attack was
made. The w0rkingmen assailed the O.ange-
men with spades, shovels and every available
weapon. The Orangemen used revolvers, with
which nearly all were armed.
Capt Helme states that the work men were
the assalants, and after two or three hundred
OF them had stormed the Park and driven cO0O
Orangemen out fighting was carried on in a
scattered manner all over the country. Dur.
ing these skirmishes some hundreds were
wounded and several killed, but the full par.
tlculars have not yet been ascertained Three
workmen are known to have been killed and
five taken to the Bellevue Hospital in az in
sensible condition The wounded Orangemer
were taken from the field of conflict in car
riages. and therefore it is impossible to ascer
tain their number, but so far it is believed thai
no Orangemen were killed.
