failure. Two thousand assembled, but
nothing formal whatever was acted upon.
There were many boys and negroes pres
cnt, and the crowd threw stones into
windows and broke street lamps as they
proceeded. Reaching the corner of
Ninth and Broadway the mob attacked
the freight depot of the Louisville and
Nashville Great Southern Railroad,
smashing its windows and doors, and
then marched to Tenth street and wreck
ed the windows of the Pullman Southern
Car Company's building. Proceeding up
broadway with loud yeIls they stoned all
the fine Goise on this street until Third
was reached. Coming in this avenue to
Maj. Jacobs house it was attacked, and
then that OF DR.. Edward Stanford, presi-
dent of the Louisville and Nashville
Great Southern Railroad, was attacked in
the same manner. Along Walnut street
houses and stores were treated III the
same manner. At the corner of Flood
and Green streets fifty policemen placed
themselves in line, and when some one
in the crowd yelled to attack them, the
officers opened fire, shooting over the
heads of the mob. The men and boys in
the mob scattered iii aii directions. The
damage done cannot be estimated Tie
excitement is great, and the arrival OF
arms and ammunition from Frankfort is
awaited with anxiety.
