been heard In public to manifest sympa-
thy for the rioters. There has been no
such day of intense feeling since the war.
A newspaper reporter interviewed
Archbishop Purcell tonight, with refer
ence to the New York riots, bat found
him with comparatively little to say on the
| subject. He says that in this country the
Orangemen had an undoubted right to
parade.
Dispatches from Dayt and other sd
jacent cities, showa deep feeling of indig-
nation over the riotOus proceedings.
Things are quiet here tonight.
The Excitement at Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 12.-The accounts of
the riotOus proceedings in New York as
they reached this city caused much ex-
citement. The bulletins of the various
journals were scanned with lively interest
by large crowds of people. There were
some manifestations of violence by the
hot headed ones, but nothing amounting
to an ARRAY has taken place up 10 six
o'clock.
The Latest-24th Street-HOrribIe
Carnage.
The Tribune tomorrow will have the
following: When the 0rangemen were
opposite 9th street the column halted for
q moment Immediately after the halt
shot was fired from the upper story of a
brick building at Northeast corner. 81.
multaneously shots were fired at the 9th
regiment from naar 25th street, on the
same side of the street.
The 64th regiment received the first
shot, and in the confusion of the moment
many men aimed at the windows as if ex-
pectlng orders to fire. In an instant one
gun was discharged, and then followed
an irregular volley along the line of the
9th, 9th and 84th regiments, few men
loading and firing a second time.
80 sudden was the occurrence that the
officers were taken by surprise, but as
soon as possible they rushed among their
men to stop the firing. The firing of the |
S4th regiment was chiefly directed at the
upper part of the house from whence the
attack had came, but the sidewalk was
also swept.
As soon as the smoke cleared nine
bodies, one Of them a woman, were seen
lying extended and still upon the pave |
ment in front of the house.
The right wing Of the regiment being |
advanced about two hundred yards be- |
yond Twenty fourth street, the men in |
that part Of the line filed across the side |
walk at the southeast corner of that street |
and the avenue. Here were 8 group of |
policeman and few citizens. All these
discovering that the troops were aiming
low, threw themselves by a common i'm
pulse PROSTATE upon their bellies aad
scrambled away. At the first fire, how
ever, pOrtly well dressed man, who was
asceTtaiDed arterward to be r. G. T. Lat
timer, was instantly killed, and after him,
policeman John O'Conner fell danger
ously wounded.
The firing over, there was q pause of
several minutes in which q further
attack of the Hirbernians was await
ed while the troops were brought to an
attention, after reloading their guns.
No regard was paid to wounded and
dying for several minutes. Terrified
citizens were afraid to venture out of
their houses, and none of those escorLing
the Orangemen could advance beyond |
their lives to give relief on account of the
eminent danger, and that other shots
would be fired by the treacherOus and in
furiated mob, and that the militia would
renew their wild volleys.
The situation at the crossing of 2Tth
street, where the writer stood, was terri
bic. Before the eyes of all there lay
eleven PROSTATE bodies, two or thee
were piled together as they had fallen
a dead woman was stretched across a dead
man.
A man with a fearful wound in his
head which covered his face with blood
wrlthed in agony for some moments and
then slowly crept to a door step and
feebly etrove to raise himself upon 1t, {
presenting as he did so a full !
view of mis- CHASTITY injuries.
An aged werkingman, evidently an '
had received a shot in the arm I
and sat down upon step, Snd despe- I
rately facing the troops in the midst of t
lho firing, while holding his bleeding arm Q
extended before him, remained until re- n
lei came, tixedly glazing in silence at the a
Orangemen. E
A lad crouched against a cart wheel, 9
ust beyond the corner of Twenty-fourth
street appearing to have received some
luFt.
The women appeared at the windows \
I0oye, making signs of anguish and be-
looking alternately down st
he bodies and then at the troops and
policemen.

rlends of the victims stole out and touch ~

Gen. Varian, indignant at the action of

ssion then moved on. -
