evening would be followed up by an attack on the
different stations throughout the city. thousand
Inherent reports prevailed during the morning
but at noon the excitement had gradually sub
SIDED, there being nothing further done to war
rant the feeling. Later in the day, however,
and about ntghtfall 1t became evident that move
ment Of some sort was on foot. Bodies OF men
wore assembling at different places in the central
portion of the city, and arms were freely as
,rrbuted. II was said the street that one OF
the large political clubs had offered Governor
McHnery 1000 men. Early in the afternoon

70 Justify this assertion. A company OF about one
hundred had assembled at the lower part OF Camp
street; another on Poyiras and Magazine, and
another gathering was reported In the neighb0r-

one piece of artillery, formed at the corner OF St.
Louis and Chartres streets. The piece was soon
after limbered up and taken down the street, the
police marching by tours. When they reached
Toulouse street the firing commenced,

The police returned the fire, but in confusion and
had some difficulty In Numbering the piece. There
was continuous musketry firing for about fifteen
minutes, when at last the gun was got into po-
sition and discharged twice down Charities street.
This created some INDIGESTION in the ranks Of the
militia, and they fell back momentariy, but
