The city was Under full prOtectlon
last evening; every block seemed to
have patrol men;
EVERY WARD WAS UNDER CARE OF
ORGANIZED CITIZENS;
There were reserve forces to draw upon,
and there must have been from four to
| five thousand men under arms. There
were no outrages nor CONGREGATIONS to
speak OF, and no hoodlums, the danger
GUS element that afflicts this com
munity, could not be traced for once.
| The reason of its disappearance for the
time being, needs but little .explapation.
The appeal of the executive committee
Of safety for additional aid had been
promptly answered, and yesterday was
devoted to the srengthing of forces
otherwise. Better organization was re-
solved upon. and more desirable
weapons were distributed; instructions
of more decided tone were issued, as
the fear of cracked skull could not

ORDINATIONS wEBE PUT FORTH
Indicating plainly enough that guard
ians of public safety were not to be
trifed with, that the innocent should
not suffer, and that the streets and pub
lie places might be left free and un-
molested for the operations of the
police and committee of safety. The
situation was discussed at some length
before the police commissioners. and it
was decided to instruct members of the
force that they mnst not stand to be
assaulted with weapons or stones by
any mob, and that if'mob attacks are
made it is the right and duty of officers
to fire upon the rioters. Ln accordance
with this decision Chief Ellis at 5
o'clock P. NJ. instructed his officers as
totheir duty in the premises. Every
member of the force was provided with
a cavalry revolver of the Remington
pattern and twenty cartridges. In
response to call

cilvities, gathered in Horticultural Hall
at 5 o. clock. The object of meeting
being explained to them they signed
roll AS veterans ready for instant ser.
vice. and then were sworn i'll by County
Clerk Reynolds to act under Chief
Ellis orders. They were then supplied
with army Springfield rifles, out OF con-
signments forwarded from Benecia.
and told tina: they were not for show,
but for use.

Yesterday with every conceivable style
of weapon. Many of them are pur-
| chasing hatchets, one hardware dealer
selling over six dom of these weapons
