Even after the shooting the crowds
stlll hlled the streets, b iltmore street
for several squares from South street
each way, being jammed with people,
rendering 1T almost impossible. In

North street, nearly opposite the City

blocked with an excited mass of citizens
eager to learn the names of the unfor-
tunate men. In tins station there are
now lying eight dead bodies and two
wounded.

that they would not allow the train
with the soldiers to leave. The engl-

Dc hred. The police were powerles,
and, although the soldiers succeeded in
entering the cars, they were even then
not safe from danger.

was fired, and the mob al first refused
70 allow the tiremen to play on the

and all the Baltimore and Ohio tele
graph wires were cut.

the city, where the shops Of the railroad
are, and have started two fires, which
nave been put out. The excitement
even at this late hour, is intense. The
