New YORK, July 17,-The interest in the
troubles of Wednesday last has not abated.
Among the important documents bearing upon
the causes of the action first taken by the city
authorities, there is published letter, written
by John j. Bond, an Orange leader, to Supern-
tendent Kelso, two days before the riot, in
which he implores that functionary to stop the
Orange demonstration and spare the effusion of
blood. All along the route, the funeral process
sion of the 9th regiment yesterday was accom-
panied and followed by an immense crowd, not
withstandng the rain, which was pouring down
in torrents. Every window of every house was
filed with groups of men and women, who had
been patiently waiting all the afternoon for the
appearance Of the procession. AT half-past six
the funeral train started A rumor had become
current during the early part of the day that
the train was to be attacked or thrown off the
track, and Superintendent Kelso placed special
patrolmen to guard every block through which
the railroad traverses Instead, however, of the
train being attacked the people in the cottages
in the suburbs, and in the street, and every
house outside the town near the track, had its
quota of sympathizers with the regiment who
assembled at the windows or on piazzas, and
testified their respect for the dead by piously
uncovering until the whole train had passed by.
At WOodlawn, the regiment and escort of police
some 200 strong, who accompanied it from New
York, in the capacity of mourners rather than
as protecting escort, were met by an immense
crowd. The procession to the grave was very
solemn one. The men in the crowd which lined
the grass plots either side took off their hats
and walked quietly along with the soldiers, as
though they were going to o funeral of some
personal friend of their own. The 9th returned
safely to the city about ten O'Clock, and on its
way to the armory were loudly cheered by the
police, and the regiment before parting made
quite an enthusiastic goodbye of it, and Cheered
one another till they were hoarse.
Among other victims of the riot buried yes
terday were James Monaghan, shot by the mill
tary; Timothy Sullivan, shot by the military;
James Slatterly, shot by the military; also, of
Henry Satimer and Charles Petit, two inno-
cent victims, killed by stray bullets. Walter
Pryor of company A died yesterday from the
effects of wounds he received in the riot. He
received a bullet in the thigh, and never rallied
sufficiently to admit of amputation, which prob
ably would have saved his life. He was very
estimable young man, and son of the well
known actress Mrs j. j. Pryor, who had an
other son in the same regiment 1t is said that
two Of the Orangemen were severely wounded
on Wednesday, but the fact was kept secret for
prudential reasons.
Yesterday afternoon a crowded meeting of
the Irish confederation was held in Avenue A.
Several of the members wanted to discuss the
riot but ii was deemed advisable to eSchew the
subject as being one on which great diversity of
opinion existed, and it not being likely that any
harmonious result could be arrived at. At st,
Columbus Roman Catholic church yesterday
close to the scene of the riot, in a sermon
preached by Rev. James Haggerty, of Cork,
Ireland, who is in the city on a charitable mis-
sion, the reverend gentleman advised his coun-
| trymen to bury forever the feuds and animos-
| ties of the old country and cultivate good feel
| ing. He hoped that on the next st. Patrick S
day procession the societies would march, car
rying banners of orange and green. The Catho-
| lies vastly outnumbered the Orangemen in
| New York, and could easily afford to treat them
magnanimouSly.
Two more victims of Wednesdays riot were
buried to-day-Augustus Gilbert, a native of
Connecticut, and a compositor in the Herald
office, was buried at Cypress hill cemetery, and
James A. Clark, proprietor of a paper collar
factory, was buried at Greenwood. Peter Sherry
and A. M. Harrington, wounded during the
riot, died last night. The 22d regiment has
started a subscription list in aid of the family
| of Sergeant Wyatt, of the ninth regiment,
killed in Wednesdays riot.
John Mahony was arraigned this morning on
charge Of assault on Captain Swift and Lieut.
| Cardozo of the list regiment, while returning
| from the funeral of Page and Wyatt yesterday.
| Mahony said he was drunk at the time, and is
now ashamed of the position in which he found
| himself He was bound over in $4,000 bail.
