Tue ROUND HOUSE STORY.
General Brinton said that when ne left
the round house he took every man with
him. 1t Is pretty we'll understood,
though the General did not say so, that

POLICE FIRING ON SOLDIERS.
Major X. w. p Allen. one OF the -ts1i
officers OF the Second brigade, is our au-
thOrlly for the statement that they we're
fred into by the police of the city. He
says that rs they were marching out But
Ter street, and Just as two of their men
were killed, posse of policemen passed
by on the street The latter Cheered the
pursuing rioters and shouted to them 10
kill the Philadelphians Two members
of the Sixth regiment started out TO pick
up their dead comrades, when, Major
Allen alleges, one Of the policemen
stepped out to the curbslonr, drew his re,
voIver and deliberately shot At the SOL
dlers who we're succoring the dying.
This, coupled with the close approach
OF the mob, obliged the men TO leave
their comrades lying in the streets.
sPIKING THE CAONNoN.
After Major Morton got the field
pieces from the mob and had taken them
to the Diamond man named William
Duncan Jumped up on them with ham
mer and rat-tail tileln ms hands, and be
lore his object was discovered he had sue
ceeded in driving the latter INTO the
vents, completely disabling them until
they can be bored out. He was arrested
and lodged III the police station.
THE GATLING GUNS.
Gen. Brnton says that they brought
both gstlIng guns from the Round
House with them, and that not even t.
Lat had been left there. These cannon
we're dragged from Twenty eighth street
to Claremont, n distance oi eight miles,
Tor three OF which they were pursued by
furious ana hOwiIng MOB. The caissOrs
were plentifully supplied with ammuni-
tion, and Gen. Brinton stated that II he
wanted to he could have killed
the pursuing mob by thousands.
There was such dense mass OF tho t"l
lowing rioters that the snots from the
guns would have had terrible effect
among them. On the way TO Shsrps
burg the crank with which these guns
are worked WAS twice partially turned
on one of them, but al no time was a
vigorous fire opened on the rioters.
Several times Gen. Brlnton WAS disposed
to resort to exceptionally severe meas
ures, especially when his men were be-
ing killed and wounded around him, but
when he thought OF the awful slaughter
he would create he said his heart grew
sick, and he restrained the order to fire
that more than once trembled on MS
lips.
