slight injuries.
At this juncture some one threw a
brick at the soldier on guard at the door
OF the armory. This was signal for a
perfect shower OF missiles, which soon
destroyed the windows and doors OF the
buildings and injured some OF the men.
The soldiers marched out at 8:l5 with
loaded pieces, numbering two hundred
and fifty men. Passing out Of the door
by twos, they were greeted with a
shower of missiles and stray pistol
shots by the crowd, numbering fully ten
thousand persons, but they marched on.
AS they filed in a westerly direction
across the bridge over Jones' Falls, til Q
crowd pressed on them The sight OF
one Of their number stricken dowE by a
paving-st0ne caused some OF the men,
bers of the regiment to fire into the
crowd. The first volley consisted OF
but few struggling shots, but had the
effect of causing the crowd to fall back
towards Gay street.
At Gay and Front shots were again
exchanged, and at the curuer Of Holli-
day and Baltimore, and on the block
towards Calvert street the volleys were
continuous and the scenes terrific.
Stores were hastily closed and citizens
| took to their homes. The streets in this
vicinity were covered with blood. Tne
soldiers proceeded down Baltimore
street to Howard. and down Howard to
the depot. The Fifth Regiment formed
at it's armory ON Howard street. and
marched 10 the depot without being com.
PEELED to fire ON the crowd, having but a
few hundred yards to 60.
AT 1880 2. NJ. an alarm of fire was
sounded, and a portion OF the station
was found TO be in flames. The Fire
Department was promptly Oh hand, and
| their efforts, added to that OF the police,
were barely sufficient to protect the
hose from The incendiaries, who attempt
ed to cut it.
The southern portion Of the depot was
badly damaged before the flames were
ond lire was discovered in another part
of the depot, which was also extin-
guished.
Everything is comparatively quiet
here this morning, but the situation il
considered very grave. E ght persons
were killed last night, and twice az
many wounded.
