OF their pOcKets. Botn Ofangemen ana
Catholics were evidently expecting the
worst and we're prepared for it. The Or |
angemen proceeded quietly to church this
morning, singly or in little squads, but 1t
became rumored on the streets that after |
service they would come down town in |
procession, bearing the Union Jack which,
it was supposed, would not arouse adverse |
feelings. In anticipation Of this thousands |
hurried to the vicinity Of Knox church, but |
still there was peace inside. The church |
congregation was small. Rev. Charles A. |
Condiet, deputy grand chaplain of the su-
preme grand lodge of British America and
grand chaplain of the grand lodge of the
province of Quebec, who officiated, wore
the regala of the day, and a number Of
people in the body Of the church carried
orange lilies.
The following are accounts given of FRO
ceedipgs to-day by an eye witness; About
1:2O p. IN q shout went up in the neigh
borhood of the cab stand on Craig street,
aud instantly there was general rush in
that direction. A young naa In grey
clothes was seen running for shelter. pur-
sued by large crowd of men and boys.
When he got on the steps Of Robert Dunn
& Co 8 store he found the heavy doors
partially closed. The leaders of the mob
tried to pull him off the steps, nearly tear
irg his coat off. A young man, said to be
a ERIK in McMssters store, rushed for
ward to protect him. One of the mob was
about to strike this young lellow when he
fred several shots in rapid succession. Al
most at the same moment shots weie fired
at him by persons in the crowd. One
struck him in the forehead when he fell.
When he was down other shots we're fired
at him. For what seemed quite long
time no one went to bis assistance and he
lay bleeding on the sidewalk. A police
man soon arrived and tho wounc ed man
was placed in an express wagon, white
handkerchief dropped over his face, guard
ed by some policemen and borne away.
A very painful feature of the affair was
the behavior of the mob when protestant
| clergyman came up to offer prayer for the
dying man. The reverend gentleman WIS
rudely pushed aside and despite his remor-
| s,rancea and the mute appeal of the upturned
eyes of the poor victim, he was not allowed
to approach, and 60 his soul passed away.
The want of anything like the provision
for the maintenance of order is very gener-
ally remarked. The mob seemed given
complete control of the streets with a surg
ing, excitNbe crowd. evidently largely
made up of persons longing for an out
break. No attempt was made to disperee

ther serious consequence. The general dis
position of the crowd is eminenlly aggres-
sive. The young man who lost bis life is
named Thomas Lett Hacket, 10 a travelling
clerk for McKillop's commercial agency,
an Orangeman, member of the Church OF
England, had no regalls but carried re-
volver and fired a shot from the steps OF
Dunn's store after he was attacked.
Another eye witness Of the shooting
affair in Victoria square gives the follow.

in Radegonde for man who had taker
