the Calvert station, and while the platform
was crowded with their comrades and their
brothers from this city, brick and several
stones were thrown into the crowd by a party of
miscreants vino were standing OH the North
street side OF tie depot. The brick thrown
struck cne of the Westinghouse upon the head
cutting Il badly, and in a moment after he had
been injured his face and shirt bosom were COW
cred with blood The wounded man was taken
TO n drug store IN the vicinity, where his
wound was dressed. after which lac IVES placed
in car and. owing to the excitement
at the time, Lis name could not be as
CCTiained by the reporter Of The american;
WhsE the bricks and stones fell upon the plat
torn, ana when II became known thatone OF the
ssbingtCHians had been injured, an intense
excitement prevailed in the depot. RevOlverS
we're quickly produced, every eN-soilior and
sailor firmly belle wing that another 18th of ApTi
riot was shout being inauCurated. rush was
made Tor the pace from whence the missiles had
come. but the CswaTds who had thrown them
had mace good their escape. Pickets were then
placed about the depot, and who remained a.
their posts until half-past O'clock when the
