The men, then to the number Of aoou'
two hundred, in plain clothes, and others
wearing insignia, filed out into tne stree'
and took their place in the long line OF sol.

THE OPEN BIBLE
was carried by one of the officers, according
to the custom of the Order. The n1ntn
regiment (Col. Jim Flsk's) formed their I'M.
mediate escort, and completely surrounded
them, marching four files deep on each
flank, and several platoons preceding and
following them. Two or three regiments
followed, and the procession was closed
with heavy police force, all carrying clubs
and revolvers. Previous to starting, some
of the regiments loaded their muskets IN
the presence of the crowd which occupied
the adjacent streets, and all the windows,
roofs, and awnings. a majority of the spec
tators were evidently hostile, and an out
break was momentarily expected.
Their fears were soon realized. The pro.
cession started quietly, but in few min
utes adense miss of men formed in Twenty
ninth street, between It'll and 9Th avenues.
and attempted to force their way through
the ranks of the police. Nine hundred
officers charged the mob, aud by free use
of their clubs drove the mob half-a-block'
-.,- FIRING FROM THE WINDOWS.
They had proceeded no more than twenty
PAGES when pistol shots were fired from
windows, but no notice was taken or II
until Twenty-fourth street was reached,
when the column halted. At this moment
stones and pistol-shots came from The
roofs and windows simultaneously.
..- A FUsILADE OF MUsKETRY ...
was fired from a platoon Of the Eighty
fourth regiment, aiming at windows and
the crowd in oath street. Instantly stanl-
pede of the crowd took place toward Broad
way. AT this moment, after the ground
was cleared. the bodies Of six men and ore
woman were seen dead, one of them in his
last agonies, an arm moving and blood run
ming in the gutter. Reports about the
amount Of fighting and
THE LOSS OF LIFE
at this point are very contradictory. Some
say over 100 Of the mob in all were killed
and wounded. One policeman was i'll
stantly killed. Three Hibernians and q
woman and boy were fatally wounded,
and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. There
are reports, which are doubtful, that two
officers of the 9th regiment and one Of the
Saith were killed or wounded. 1t is almost
certain Git has been so often reported) that
Lieutenant Page, of the 9th regiment, is
mortally wounded. The obscurity on this
point will be cleared up in the course OF
the evening. 80
The conflict lasted only few minutes.
1t was sufficient, and the last the military
had on the route.
The mob dispersed aud hung around the
corners and avenues.
1t is reported that the Sixth regiment
Germany fired upon the mob, but we could
not ascertain the truth Of the rumor.
Several wounded rioters, with bloody
faces and torn clothes, could be seen al
along 18th and Sth avenues. The MUM
Der of the wounded could not be learn
ed, as they were removed by their friends
and secreted in the ncighboring houses
Many innocent persons who happened tc
be in Goth street were dubbed by the Pc.
lice.
TRIUMPH OF LAW AND ORDER.
The procession commenced moving
again, and passed over the route set down
without further interruption, and was dis
missed at the Cooper Institute. On pass
Ing through 9th avenue, Union Square
and Broadway, the column was frequently
cheered by a great number OF spectators,
who sought by that means to express theil
qualification at the triumph of order and
the Yindication Of the honor OF tho city
and State.
