head The man 10, go his hold the door and fell to
the road The driver sprang on the box, whipped
up his horses and drove rapidly eastward one OF the
wheels passing over the intruder who had SO boldly
attempted to enter tho cab uninvited. Up 10 ten
O'Clock the crowd gradually swelled in the vicinity OF
tho market until there must have been nearly twelve
thousand people congrcga,ei in the different streets
| ROWLING RIOTERS TORN on THE POLICE.
As soon as II became known that Rosa had escaped
the bowling and hootng became stronger aud louder
The mob then vented their dspleasurc by soning the
police. For time the ba,ons were upliited. But
patience in this row ceased 10 be a virtue, and
the FIRST blow on the sdo OF the police was struck.
The real trouble then commenced. AS the moving
mass was being driven up Jarvis street those pre-
viously kept under control on Front street broke
loose and ike bloodhounds in search Of victims
They came In collision with the police on King street,
| and, instead OF prosecuting their search after the
Fenian leader, they charged In q cowardly man.
ncr tho police not as men, but ike asnds, never
approaching enough to como within The reach OF
| the baton, but arming themselves with bricks and
an indscriminalo manner.
| A DREADFUL FIGHT.
| Asa matter OF course the hslt soon became gen.
eral persons who had visited tho scene rs spec
| tators wero soon in q soothing crowd Of bowling
maniacs, with bricks and stones dying In every d.
rocton. Many persons wore knocked down by the
police batons who had not taken any part In the
fight But 1t was impossible for the police IN such
position 10 discriminate between friend and ioe
Mon were dropping In every direction, while every
| few minutes policeman would receive blow from
| missile that icied him like log. Gradually the
hootng horde forced up Jarvis street, and mover
did handful OF men display moro gallant conduct
than tho policemen as they hero,cally charged tho
| vast mob and drove them ahead.
ATTACK ON NorRE DAME.
| Upon reaching the corner OF Adelaide and Jarvis
streets new cry was raised. 'Attaok tho Notrs
Daniel" yelled from hundreds Of throats and the
insane cry taken up and repeated at every corner
| Hearing this tho police made desperate rally and
attempted to prevent the design but Tor time they
wero almost helpless. Occupants OF houses IN the
vicinity who had been watching proceedings from
windows closed the shutters and fed 10 the rear OF
| tho buildings, where thoy trembngly awaited re-
suits.
RRvoLvgRs RATTLE IN THE STREETS.
Suddenly to the left, ccar and distinct, revolver
shot sounded tho dir, and In moment tho scene
was changed Stones fairly hailed on the Notrs Dame
institution. Men who were engaged in hand to hand
struggles stopped toisten second shot, while the
police whose discipline showed for itself, charged
| the insane mob with revolver and baton drawn. Fur
Their up tho streo another shot was ared followed by
nine others, tho bullets being plainly heard they
whistied through the air. Ono young man received
bullet In the calf OF tho leg, while another had
portion Of his ear taken on
| cowARpLY ASSAULT OFFICERS.
One scoundrsl run up and hurled brickbat al Off,
Ger Worth: it struck him tho forehead close to the
temple, but the force Of tho blow partially de-
stroyed by the helmet the constable wore Another
brick followed striking Worth about the same place,
who foil, stunned and bleeding, to tho ground.
p. C. Johnston, who nghting desperately along
side Of Worth. also received blow In the mouth
with brick, several OF his teeth being knocked out
| and his chin and lips badly cut.

fight. received dangerous cut across the iacc
Messra P. c. woodhouse aud A. Breckonred were
also badly injured.
PLUcKy CONTEST
AS the crowd sarged along Queen street. evidently
bent upon wrcaking their vengeance on Cosgrove's
Hotel, three policemen became detached from ono OF
tho patrols and forced bodily Elizabeth street,
Recovering their ground, however. the trio braced
themselves shoulder to shoulder, and, drawing re-
vovcrs and batons, they fought tho iniuriated mob
with marvellous courage and pertnacity, once,
however, firing shot, but simply holding revo.v.
ers 10 readiness for a emergencies. Like perpetual
motion machines flew the batons of the three heroes
crushing down their opponents continually until tho
foot Of tho street was again reached, though every
inch was contested with ferocity worthy Of better
cause. Now the corner gained and peace was
secured, but not Tor long.
| THE TRIO FORCED UNDER.
| The cowardly mob realizing the small opposition
to their distendcd ranks showercd down hundreds Of
stones a, tho hapess officers, who were literally rhe
centre of perfect storm OF missiles, varying from
an ounce to four pounds In weight. Following this
came rush, which from sheer weight OF mat,or
compelled officers to yiod their VOL contested
ground. Pcll nell camo the stones OF tho crowd.
fcIing the officers the EARTH This at first caused
disnay 10 the people the houses, but this feeling
soon gave place TO unbounded delight. MS, nothing
dauned they rose gathered fresh strength and made
onslaught on the crowd. which caused them to fairly
howl with rage and pain and forcing back those DO.
