appearing nom the streets. Inc
neighbOrhood of the principal scene
of disaster is still thronged with NOR
bid sight-seers, who interest them
selves in viewing places where bullets
struck and where the victims fell, and
in scanning the pools of blood which
sprinkle the sidewalks. The dis.
tressed throng, seeking absent friends,
timidly venture in the dismal pre-
cincts Of the Morgue and eagerly seek
admission to various hospitals, bEt
| otherwise the city is entirely free from
the visible reminders Of the fray.
| OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE REGIS
| TRY OF THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
The conversation of all parties turns
upon the events Of the day, and opin-
| ions are as plentiful as blackberries
regarding the right and wrong Of the
parade and the action Of the troops in
firing upon the rioters. The opinion
| seems to be unanimous as to the mag
| nificent performances Of the police,
The prisoners captured during the
riots were all brought up before Judge
Hogan, at the Tombs, yesterday, and,
though they all swear to their innO-
cence, they,,were all held for examina-
ton. The list Of dead was increased
during the night by the names of
several seriously wounded and many
others suffering from serious injuries
being reported dead. Commissioner
Manierre has directed that an official
| list Of the killed and wounded be pre-
! pared, but il will be some time before
| it is complete. He has directed DR..
Charles P. Russell, Register of
Records, to grant no certificate of death
in the cases of any persons who may
have died from gunshOt wounds or
| other injury until they have been
! fully investigated. 1t is believed that
| by this means full list Of the casual
! ties will be obtained.
TB-C POLICE MANFULLY DID THEIR
DUTY.
A detective force of the central Of
fee and special duty men, of various
precincts, perfGrmed efficient work
during the riot. They searched over
three hundred persons along the line
Of the procession, and tO9k from them
seventy-eight pistols. That no more
pistols were fired on the street, was
due to this action on the part o. the
detectives. President Smith states
that the Board will soon direct the
Superintendent to issue an order Of
congratulation to the force, on their
gallantry and efficiency displayed by
them on Wednesday. 1t is wonderful
the force escaped with so few casual
ties. Only two were seriously wound
ed, patrOlman Murphy, of the Twen-
ty-SecOnd precinct, who was struck in
the mouth with a stone, causing an
exceedingly painful wound, and John
O'Connor. who was shot in the side
with a spentt ball. Both these men
are fast recovering. PatrOlman Hen
~ W. Ferbsch, ,0f the Thirty-secOnd
precinct, who wac thrown from his
horse, had his knee dislOeated. A
number Of others were injured, more
or less severe, but not rSally worth
chronicling, from an early hour yes
terday.
CORoNER's INQUEST-wERE THE MIL
ITARY AUTHORIZED IN FIRINGT
Coroner Young has examined the
bodies OF those killed, and has given
permits to remove the bodies of those
whose residence is known, and whose
friends will not be likely to spirit them
away before they can be viewed by d
cOroner's jury, in accordance with the
requirements of law. 1t is more than
likely that one investigation will be
made to answer all, the same evidence
being used in each case. 1t is believed
an effort will be made to show that
the troops fired needlessly, and with
out orders from their officers. InspeC-
tor Walling, who will be a good wit
ness on this point, is Of the opinion
that firing would have been a neces-
sity within ten minutes at the latest;
showers of blocks and stones were be-
ing thrown from the hOusetOps and
windows, while pistol shots were be
ginning to come thicker and faster
every moment; the mob seemed to be
gathering courage and strength; and
il would soon have been absolutely
necessary to commence firing. GEN
eraI Lloyd AspinWau remarked last
evening that it was hardly worth
while TO discuss the question whether
or not the troops fired moment too
soon: better, said he, a moment too
soon than a moment too late; had
they waited longer they would have
been q moment too late. A large
number Of witnesses will be sum
mOned, and the investigation will be
very thorough. It is doubtful whether
In = Inquest will be commenced before
the .'eiIer part Of next week; and Cor.
Dner Young also wishes time to cool
down b, NOre he begins.
Ex. GAPLEs TO BE MADE.
It ia said that E. L. COrrie, the we'll
.ZnOyyu Ieade Y OF the Hibernian sOcie-
Nv. is to he inO Oteted for trying to ere
ate a riot. Comics speeches TO Irish
men in Prince street ball on Monday
night were of an infisEImatOry char
acter, and the grand jury ~ the court
Of Oyer and Terminer, which - now
In session, intend TO find an iEdlct-
ment. COrrie is said to have used us |
influence with Mayor Hall to have I
the Orange parade stopped, and that
be circulated the report that thou
sands Of Hibernians had armed them
selves and would prevent the parade /
1t any cost. The grand jury intend to
Indict rioters, caught firing at process
5iOns, for murder.
