CAPTURE OF RIOTERS
BALTIMORE, July -, 2 Il. IN. AT
half past ten tonight McComas' Gun
store, on Pratt street, was broken
open, but before the rioters had time
to secure arms they were surprised
by police and fled in all directions.
The police gave chase and captured
six of the gang.
After dark a crowd assembled
above and below Camden depot, and
hooted at the soldiers and police. On
Barre street near the depot IA volley
of small arms were fired by the mob
when company of the 5th Regi.
. ment charged and dispersed them.
The crowd came together again in
front of the depot, and large de-
tachment of police made raid on
them and captured % of the ring
leaders, whom they lodged under
military guard in the gentlemen's
waiting room of the depot. Return
ing to the street, the police made a
second charge west of the depot, and
brought in 90 more of the rioters, all
of whom they disarmed. A majority
of the mob captured were under the
influence of liquor.
, While confined in the depot they

} hooted and yelled at the guard and
} made several attempts to break from
the rooms, but fell back when the
bayonests were presented to them.
!. The attack of the police had the good
effect of dispensing the gang who
+ retreated toward Riverside, where
there is sufficient force to repel any
violence they may attempt.
Two companies of marines, fifty
men each with 20 officers, arrived at
at Camden Station at 11:20 tonight
} from Washington. A portion of these
troops are to be stationed at the GUS
tom House and U. S. Subtreasury,
The dispensing of the mob at Camden
Station, and arrest of u number of
the ringleaders has probably ended
the riot in Baltimore, they being
demoralized and fearing to offer
further resistance to the well dis
ciplined force now opposing them.
