fourth regiments acted hastily and i'll.
Iadvisedly in military sense in using
their mnskets without word Of conn
mand from their officers, there can be
no question. Still il Is quite evident
that shattering volley was given By
these regiments, proving 80 deadly IN
its general effect that it checked the
belligerant tendency of the mob and
probably saved many lives, as In 8
few minutes more the melee would
have become general, and the desper-
ate Sixth regiment also fred on the
| crowd, being melted thereto by an
assault on one of their officers. The
| TWenty-second regiment distinguish
ed itself by not firing shot, as the
men received no orders from their of.
6cers. This conduct ELECTED a few
words of earnest praise from General
Warrior. That the men of the Seventh
were distinctly authorized to fire on
the occasion shows q confidence re-
posed in them by the Brigadier com.
mandIng.
EXAMPLES TO BE MADE.
The grand jury will adjourn to-day,
subject to q call from the district at
tOrney's Office, to investigate. Re
cord, Hackett viii set next week to
try the cases OF those arrested as riot
ers. Derrick cOmmissiOniOner has di-
rected Superintendent Westerwell to
furnish him with the names of those
wOFkmen who, contrary to orders,
absented themselves from work on
Wednesday, with view to their dis
charge.
AT THE HOSPITALS YESTERDAY.
NEW YORK, July 14.-A large num-
Der of people continue to cougregate
at the entrance of Bellevue hospital,
eager to gain intelligence as to the
number OF additional dead and the
condition Of the wounded victims of
the riot. There were two additional
deaths last night, and there now re
mains but six dead at the Bellevue
Hospital. The bodies of others have
been taken away by their friends for
interment. Crowds inquiring as to
the condition Ofthe wounded are very
large, both at Mount Sinai and Centre
street hospitals. Everything in the
city is very quiet to-day.
"wHEN THE CRUEL WAR Is OVER" i"
There is little additional to say in
regard to the late riot, and were it not
for the wounded in the hospitals and
the dilapidated condition of the street
windows at the locality where the
| disturbance took place, we should
have little evidence of the terrible
scenes through which the city has
passed. The funerals of the late Ser
geant Wyatt and Henry G. Page take
place Sunday from Calvary Church,
corner Fourth avenue and Twentieth
| street. The remains are to be inferred
in the plat of the regiment, at Wood
lawn Cemetery. The entire regiment
is to parade in full dress, white pants,
band and drum corps. The members
are requested to assemble at the ar
mory at l pm. on that day. The
ether regiments are expected to join
in The procession.
FEARs OF ANOTHER RIOT.
The Erprsss says: "Two things may
possibly revive riOtOus proceedings on
Sunday. On that day take place the
funerals of two members Of the Ninth
who fell at their pOsts of duty, and also
the funerals of some seven or eight OF
the rioters. It is not probable that the
latter will be inclined to cultivate
closer acquaintance with the military
than they can help, but it will do them
no harm to know that it is understood
the troops are under orders to have
their muskets shotted."
THE SAD SIDE OF THE PICTURE.
A lodge of Hibernians, in full re-
gala, headed by band of music,
turned out to-day to bury one OF their
number, who was killed in the fight
on Eighth avenue. Crowds of people
gathered along the sidewalk TO wit
ness the significant pageant.
One of the dead, upon whose shirt
the name Of John Mullen was stamped,
was claimed by his friends this morn
ing. He resided at No. 35S West Six
teenth street, and had just left the
house and was proceeding up town on
business, when he was shot. He had
been, until few months since, en-
plOyed as messenger by the Adams
Express Company, at its branch office
in Cincinnati.
Charles H. Patel, aged twenty-five
wears, was instantly killed Wednes'
day, while looking at the procession.
He was engaged to Miss Ida johnson,
and was to have been married in two
weeks. She has become raving ma
MAC.
BULLY FOR THE PRESS FRATERNITY.
Policeman Mccoy was assaulted
and dangerously wounded this morn
ing, while patrolling his beat, by
some person unknown, but supposed
to be an enraged Hibernian.
Six more of the wounded died to-
day at the different hospitals, making
forty-nine victims in eli.
Many reporters of the daily jOurn-
ais were, on Wednesday, sworn in as
special policemen and marched in the
procession, in two platoons, immedi-
ately in front of the Orangemen.
Each carried club, and when the
troops returned the fire of the mob
the reporters not only maintained
their ground in spite Of bullets whist
ling about their heads, but did good
service in repelling the mob on their
hanks.
Recorder Hackett, in the Court of
General Sessions to-day, liberated
Francis Keil, one OF the rioters, on
one thousand dollars bail.
THE LONDON TIMES ON THE RIOT.
LONDON, July 14.-The Times
makes the New York riot the text for
an article upon the condition Of affairs
in Ireland, in which it concludes as
follows: "If Irish feuds are SIS i'm
plscable in America as they are in
fyelGnd and tmore sanguine, Irishmen
must ask themselves whether Irish
nature Is not more responsible for
troubles in Ireland than misrule."
