formed by portions Of the Twenty-sec'

regiment in full force, strong force oil
police. The proposed route was down
Eighth avenue to Twenty-third street
through Twenty-third to the ferry
there to receive the Jersey Orangemen
then back to Eighth avenue; then
through h various streets to Fourth street
and the Bowery; then to Cooper Instr
ture, where they were dismissed. They
moved of to the tune of Hail Columbia,
with King Williams banner and the
stars and stripes flying amid deafening
and enthusiastic cheers. Marshall
Johnston headed the procession on
horseback. The 0rangemen all wore
rosettes, badges and other insign a, in
their distinguishing color.
AS the procession moved down the
avenue several severe fights took place
with the police who made frequent
sorties on the crowd, using their locusts
freely. The procession, which was ac,
companed by a crowd OF about 5000
people, had not gone two blocks when
several shots were fired from windows,
house-tops and behind trucks, one
striking an officer of the Eighty'fourth
regiment who Immediately leveled a
rifle and fred into the crowd. This
appeared to be the signal for a general
fusilade and the S4th immediately
fired into the crowd. The 7th and
9th directly followed suit, some
firing indiscrimlnately into the Windows;
others taking more deadly aim and firing
into the crowd Of men, women and
children, moving them down in a
shocking manner. The scene that en-
sued battles all description. The nu-
merous crowds that had assembled on
the corners OF blocks adjacent to the
bloody scene fled in every direction,
followed by the police who dubbed them
numerically. The shrieks o. the
women from the windows on Eighth
avenue became heartrending and some
Irish women tore their bonnets and hats
from their heads and waving them at
the military cried down with the
Orangemen." About twenty detectives
meanwhile were busy clubbing and ar
resting all persons having arms about
them.
during the meelee, Colonel Fisk met
with a severe accident and retired from
the field
As the procession went along, the de-
tectives cleared the sidewalks, arrestng
all persons who had arms concealed
about them. Most Of the houses in
Fifth avenue were closed from top to
bottom. The police kept a clear passage
for the procession. AS the Orangeman
moved into Union Square they were met
with misses and yells. On arriving at
Cooper Institute the procession Div.
ouacked. A vast crowd had assembled
in the neighborhood. The military and
police fell back on the different corners,
and managed by diverting the attention
to enable the Orangemen to disperse
unobserved. Military discipline was
continued for an hour or so after the
dispersal Of the Orangemen.
