horror. Women wept and children moaned
at the spectacle. 1t was a panorama OF
| blood, vista of gore, an arena of agony.
But the mere spectators could not feel what
thousands of others did, whose friends or rel
atives were in the public service. The news
of the bloody massacre flew like wild hire all
over the city. Every home that had sent
! forth IA representative defender of the peace
was rocked with agitation.
Throngs Of almost distracted women hur-
ried to the police station-houses and hospI-
tails, hoping, shrinking, fearing and eager
to know the names of the killed and wound

The New York Riot.
THE START.


At last the regiments were got into posi-
ton and the procession started. 1t was then
2:30 p. m. The pageant was a singular one.
In front was the Seventh Regiment, headed
by body of police on the right the Twenty
second Regiment on the left the Eighty
fourth and Sixth, and between them the
Orangemen. Behind these marched the
Ninth, and large posse of police brought up
the rear In this order the procession
moved off TO the tune Of " The Red, White
and Blue
THE FIRST BLOOD.
Scarcely had half block been reversed
when shot was fir ed from window, and
missiles were thrown from the roofs of houses
and the crowd in the rear and on the flinks
burst upon the police and assaulted them
with bricks, paving -stOnes, and other pro
jectiles A bold stand was made and the
onslaught resisted by the officers. \ shot
in reply was fred at the man who stood on
rthe roof, and a movement was made by The
regiment as if they were about TO turn anC
fire by sections. Then the crowd turned
and, regardless Of youth, old age or sex,
dashed off, trampliug all under foot in their
flight Houses, basement and cellar, were
sought in the adjacent streets by the fugi
tiyes, who disregarded every right in theil
mad pursuit Of safety. Great brawny ras
calls burst into the stores and private dwell
inps to escape from the threatened fusilade
and if it had been evening there can be lit
tie doubt but that many rObberies would
have been committed The procession still
moved on

.oENE ALrKR LIE IlRINc

SCENE AFTER TIE FIRING.
As soon az the firing had ceased, the
crowd in the side streets to the cast OF Eighth
avenue, who had been driven by the shoot
ing up toward Broadway, came bac, as near
as they dared to the places where t. cir fallen
comrades lay, and there stood gazing stupid
. ~ at them, as If paralyzed by the sudden
fate that had ovcrtaken them. The scene
was, in truth, a horrible one On the
northeast corner oi Eighth avenue and IWcr-
ty-fourth street. where the firing had been
hottest, lay the bodies Of eight persons who
had been shot. Four OF them were app5r-
entity killed outright, two being shot through
the breast and one having the back and side
of his head fearfully muUiIated, as il several
shots had struck him. The other dead per
son was seemingly a servant, who had been
drawn thither by the general excitement,
and had not time to cscarc when the troops
commenced to fire. She had fallen on two
dead bodies, and lay there with her hands
stretched out and tightly claspcd over her
head, while from a r,he wound in her fore
head her life blood slowly OOzIng- OF
the wounded men, two had been shot IN the
legs, and another had his arms badly shat
tered, while one man was vainly trying To
raise himself from the ground, whose whole
face was covered with blood, while from a
CHASTITY wound in his head his brain was
protruding.
The sidewalk was drenchcd with blood,
aud the window-pane of the stores on either
corner, were shattered by the bullets. As
500 as it was safe to do 50, a surgeon con
nected with one Of the regiments came 70
where the bodies lay, and after giving them
a cursory examination, ordered the men
employed in an adjoining store to place them
in a cart, which was standing near, 20 that
they might be taken away. But before this
could be Carried out the police seized the
cart for one of their number that had been
wounded and the march having been re-
sumed the surgeon was obliged to leave the
dead and wounded as they were and Join his
regiment. 1t was the same all along Eighth
avenue, and the dead bodies were left un-
tonched for more than one hour. As soon
as the soldiers had quilted the avenue on
their march up Twenty-third street the
crowd, which had been restrained by their
presence, came from the side streets in
swarms. The large majority of them were
women and children, as the men had fol-
lowed the procession. Loud we're the threats
of vengeance which they cast at the retreat
ing forms of the soldiers. but the sharpness
of the execution seemed to have produced the
desired effect for their violence was confined
to merely vocal demonstrations.
THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
The record Of the wounded, dead and dy-
ing would fill book with chapters OF apLal-

Again the - great unW2Sheu approached
the TANKS and rear Of the forces, and with
re-doubled determination attacked them.

first casualty was in the case of Sergt.

it patiently, and did not offer To strike a
blow in revenge. From the house tops
missiles were flung. and the rage Of the mob
increased mOmentarily. On the southeast
corner Of Twenty-fourth street is Dan Ryan :

a news stand in front OF 1t. From the shelter
of these murderOus assault was made upon
the Eighty-iourth Reg ment, commanded by
Lieut.. Col Mitchell Here the reIl ARRAY

Of the same regiment, on the head, and with
out receiving any orders from Gen. Narian-
who commanded the troops, or indeed from
pny one else, the men began % fire upon the
denscly packed mob.
A volley was poured into the window, too
and the Sixth, following the former corps
example, blazed away also. The Ninth took
up the fusilade, and added to the slaughter.

streets strewn with dead and dying creatures.
The procession bad halted during this
combat, and the band Of the Orangcmen

the flight Of the as-ailant-, struck up a lively
tripping tune, and the whole resumed their
march up Twenty-thiri street and Fifth
