The Orangemen decided, at the
request of the National and Benev-
client Societies, not to walk, and
went to church very quietly this
morning. They. made no show
of insignia, and were careful to
attempt Dothing calulated to ex-
cite their Cath bic neighbors.
They abstained, in conformity
with their resolution to rescind a
motion to walk, from displaying
any thing offensive to the Catho-
lies, and there was no sign of hos
til ty up to 10 a. m.

quarters in St. Patrick's Hall
All through ST. James street and
Victoria Square men were picket
ed, ali armed with revolvers, but
offering no violence They were
held in check at first by forces of
volunteers at various points, but
as there seemed to be no intention
to make use of the military as the
day went on they increased in con
fidence, and began TO talk of Civ
ing a lesson to the Orangemen.
The Orangemen went to Knox
Church and beard a sermon, which,
| must say, was of rather infam-
matory character, from Rev. Mr.
Dontiel. On issuing, two woman
walked down Beav + Hall Hill
wearing Orange lilies. They were
assaulted by a crowd WHO had
been standing outside, and the
mob increased in violence, driving
the ladies into dry. go DDS store.
The agitation was great, and
the noted Irishman, F. B. Nc Man
i'll, exerted himself greatly to pre-
vent violence, but his good Offices
were Intellectual. The crowd in
creased, and a row became inevi-
table. 1t was impossible to pro-
tect the women, and the man who
thrust himself forward in their
defense was speedily made the
target of bullets. He had no as
sistance. lie tried to succor the
females who had prccipitated the
disturba nee, and at the foot of the
bill endeavored make Roadway
against the Infatuated mob, some
three thousand strong. He was,
of course, selected as "a victim, and
against him was arrayed all the
force Of the opposing elements,
lie drew a pistol, and menaced
the whole crowd, attempting 10
cover the retreat of the ladies,
but without effect. lie saved his
daughter, and tried to run for
shelter from the shower of bullets.
When he got in front of Clenden-
ing's Block he was surrounded, and
tried to run into Fertilization
Lane. The long and short of the
story is that he was killed by "a
multitude of shots, and left lying
in the street amid the triumphant
shouts Of the crowd who had caus-
ed his death.
The scene was a most deplora-
bic one. The man was wholly
unattended, was surrounded by a
crowd in front and rear who had 20
mercy. When the dead man lay
on the ground the crowd exulted
over him. Some English came a.
long and carried the dead man a.
way at the risk of their lives.
While the fight was going on
gallant fellow named nenshaw
attempted his defense. He was
seized and almost kicked to pieces.
This happened at a time when the
English and Scotch were at lunch.
MONTREAL, July Is Quiet has
been preserved to-day, though
bands of men have collected at
various points. he list of casu-
alties from yesterday is large,
though but two deaths altogether
mark the fray.

beginning of the trouble, for the
