AT "a little past O'Clock, previous to the
over lew hundred people about Camden
station. In less Than nfieen minutes after
the alarm sounded. however, the number,
a if by preconcerted action. increased to
thousands. They were manly men in their
working clothes and with shirt sleeves rolled
up, as If just from the shops. They were
frel zied and determined in their demeanor.
Word was brought that the 9Th regiment was
moving TO the depot. Then the crowd surgad
in that direction. On Eutaw street near
Lombard great crowds collected on the side

corner of Pratt street. The stones came in
showers, and had evidently been collected
for the purpose. Even women hurled stones
from the windows. Captain ZOllinger would
not fire, but was cool and determined. the
militia kept well together and moved
on, standing the terrible vOlley of mis-
slles without flinching. About dozen
men were struck. They were supported by
their comrades until the depot was reached.
