street. 1t was q chastity spectacle.
A vast crowd filed the street. In front
OF the entrance; the already exhausted
police, streaming with pergpiratiOn
and weak with thirst and hunger,
could scarcely make q way for
arrival Of the impFOvised amloulances,
whiehIwere Of every style, pressed in
for the occasion. Grocery wagons,
Omnibusses and market wagons were
used, and came In rapid Succession
freighted with the dead and wounded
victims. Confession naturally reign
ed everywhere, and the sad task of
bearing the helpless forms into the
station, If hurTfsdly, was tenderiy
performed. Many Of the dead are yet
unrecOgnized, and the names of the
fWOunded in some cases were given
almost inarticulately, and, Cd course,
incorrectly.
THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
The cells in the basement were
crowded with arrested rioters. and the
intervening corridor was filed with
the dead, who lay in all sorts of posi-
tiOns upon the cold, hard fiak stones.
The most reliable estimate gives the
number Of rioters killed during the
day as in the vicinity of one hundred.
Over one hundred and fifty-seven
wounded are in the hospitals. When
1t Is taken into consideration that only
those heIplessly wounded and cOnse-
quently taken to the hospital are there,
those slightly wounded stepping away
and hiding themselves, lest II should
become known they had taken part,
some approximate idea Of tine num-
Der of the wounded may belaad. Ger
tainly three hundred Is not too high
an estimate. OF course many were
killed and wounded who we're mere
spectators and innocent Of any hand
in the disturbances. In 81 narrow
open space between Montague and
Twenty sixth streets, East river, and
just inside the Bellvue hospital gate,
on TWenty-siXth street, there were
tWenty-seven cO1ilns side by side at II
O'Clock last night, and eal.h coffin
contained victim Of the riot. An
other coffin with a corpse In 1t was on
the floor inside the MOrgue, and two
more bodies were yet uneO6ined ly-
ing on slabs. The MOrgue was pur-
pOsely kept dark, because even
at that late hour there was a large
crowd outside of the hospital walls
eagerly demanding admitIance to
search for their missing friends or
relations. No one was admitted.
Early this morning the lower gate of
Bellevue, TWenty-siXth street, viii
be opened to permit the public gener-
ally to view the cOrpses. The num-
Der of wounded in Bellevue at mid
night was thirty-One. MOTT of the
wounds were severe. There are thir-
ty of the wounded at Mt. Sinai hospi-
tai. All the hospitals contain q num- |
Der of the wounded.
