Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1871-07-15

sions, to-day, liberated Francis Keil, one of the
rioters, ON $1,000 bail. Peter McCaflray of Con-
necticut, visiting his friends in this city, was
shot during the riot, Wednesday, in two places
one ball passing entirely through his groin and
another through his right arm.
Trouble is apprehended Sunday at the funeral
of the soldiers killed in the riot. 1t is reported
that the regiments joining the procession have
been ordered to load with ball. The funeral
of eight rioters will be held the same day. Po-
liceman Grady, WHO was disgraced and dis
missed from the service, Wednesday, for cow
ardice, publishes card this evening, stating
that he was disguised with the brutal conduct
of the police, and took OFF his own shield and re-
signed. The funeral of number of rioters took
place to-day Several were accompanied by
lodges of Hbernans, in full regalia. Crowds
of people gathered on the sidewalk to view this
significant pageant. Several others of the
wounded rioters are in dying condition, and
more names will soon be added to the death
roll.
One case, likely to end fatally, is that of John
Dillon, boy aged fifteen, whose right shoulder
was lrightfully torn and lacerated by bullet as
he was watching the procession near his home.
1t is the opinion of the authorities that the
number of wounded who have been cared for by
friends is greater than the number already re-
ported. Three more rioters were committed to
prison this morning, to await the action of the
grand jury. The Evening Post, this evening,
abiding to the contradictory reports concerning
Col. FiSks movements on Wednesday, says:
Col Fisk was at the armory of the 9th regiment
in the forenoon; then, at the request OF Gov.
Hoffman, he went to stop the Jersey ferries. Re-
turning about two, p. NJ, Colonel Fisk was
marching at the head of his regiment, in his
shirt sleeves, fOurishng n large sabre, when
he first crackle of musketry was heard in front,
simultaneously with that vOlley there seemed to
come a whole shower of stones and bricks at
the 9th, and many of the men declared that
rife shots were fired at them from windows
and roof. AT any rate, Prior, a private of COM
pany A, now lying almost dead in house near
the scene Of the firing, has leg completely
shattered by ball, which must have been
fired almost straight down, as it entered Just be-
low the knee and passed through in line
toward the foot.
As the fire ran up the line of the eiehty-fourth
regiment toward the head of the ninth, the
ninth wheeled, and Col. Fisk and officers stood
to the right, Tor the first company had knelt,
ready to fire. They discharged their pieces
without receiving any orders, and the second
company followed their example. The mob
surrounded Fisk, and, as he raised his sabre,
they fell upon him, and, few minutes after
right ankle dslocated. He was carried into
bakery and attended by Surgeons Pollard and
Thompson. At first it was thought he was
struck by spent ball. An hour later he was
removed, in Disguise by the rear, where close
coach was waiting on another street to remove
him to the dock, where he took the boat for
Sandy Hook. In fact, Col. Fisk appears to have
acted with bravery, and have only relinquished
his command when overpowered and disabled.
All unknown rioters are to receive common
burial. Five random bullets entered butchers
shop on Eighth avenue, wounding three men,
one fatally.
The papers generally indulge in considerable
amusement at Fisk's expense who appears to
have sprained his ankle and then left for Long
Branch "badly stampeded." The Erie ferry
boat flags are still at half-mast The ninth reg
iment now claim that the seventh fired into
them. A private telegram from Fisk, at Long
Branch, says he will be OUT in day or two. Il
is said that his regiment groan and hiss at
every mention of his name. McGinnis, Il re-
porter of the Star, the Tammany organ, has
been committed as ri0ter. One hundred labor
ors have been so far discharged from the boule-
wards for leaving their work without orders on
Wednesday.
The intended of Charles Petit, one of the
spectators killed, has gone stark mad on learn
ing the facts of her lovers death. About the
time the firing occurred in Eighth avenue, three
ruffians in Sixth avenue, meeting in front of
Fairchild's bazaar a lady who wore orange
colored ribbon in her bonnet at once attacked
her and tore her head-dress to fragments. She
was frightened by this unexpected assault, and
fed into one of the neighboring stores, where
she was protected. Soon after the procession
had started, ferOcious looking woman rushed
out from the sidewalk seized the regalia of one
of the 0rangemen, and attempted to pull it from
his shoulders. A soldier warned her back with
the butt of his musket, but the Infatuated ANA
zon spat in his face, and, with imprecationS and
shrieks of rage, reproached her counnymen for
their cowardice.
Col. James Fisk is still confined to his room
from the sprain received in the riot. Fisk has
telegraphed to the officers of his regiment to
meet him this evening, TO make arrangements
for the funerals of Page and Wyatt, and directed
Lieut.. Col. Braine to issue the necessary orders
for the attendance OF the regiment.
Lieut.. Col. Braine, of the 9th regiment, denies
that Col. Fisk did not command the regiment,
and asserts that he did his full duty to preserve
the public peace and was foremost in the fray
The general committee of the "Irish demo-
cratic union" held meeting this evening, when
several members made speeches condemning
Gov. Hoffman for allowing the Orange parade
