KALL0CH KILLED.
ASSASSINATION, IN SAN FRANCISCO,
OF Rev. ]. S. KallOch, WOrkingmen's Can
didate for Mayor-The City Wild
with Excitement-A Bloody
Riot Feared.

Sax FRANCISCO, August -O.-lslSl
evening Rev. j. ). KallOch defended
himself before an immense audience
azains, charges, thirty years old, Of im-
morality preferred against him by the
ChronicI. He said the charges had been
revived by Charles and Mike DeYoung,
two bastard sons Of a prostitute. This
morning Charles DcYoung drove in a
covered coupe in front of the private
entrance of the Metropolitan Temple,
where KallOch has a room, and sent a
messenger boy asking him to come out.
KallOch immediately appeared on the
sidewalk, when DeHOung shot him in
the breast. KallOch turned 10 retreat in
doors when DeYoung shot him
in the back. 1t is believed that
Kalloch is dead. \ crowd immedl-
ately seized the carriage in which
was DeYoung, turned it over, and tore
him out. He was dreadiully kicked and
bruised, and would no doubt have been
killed on the spot had not an unusual
number of policemen come suddenly To
his rescue and hurried him % Jail. The
CITY Is intensely excited. The police
dill not think DeGoung safe in Jail, and
hal made arrangements 10 hurry him
10 Fort AlCatraz, when the intention be-
came known 20 the people. At present
the spirit OF the multitude IL aroused 10
prevent any movement of Delouns
from the Jail. There was never time
when san Francisco was more angry.
Kalloch is shot through the lett lung,
lust above the heart, and the physicians
say that with his strong constitution,
there il a bare possibility OF his recOv-
ery. The military are under arms and
the police on duty, IN the event oil
disturbance.
A meeting of wOrkingmen al the sand
Lots, is called for two O'Clock this after
noon, by runners who are going all over
town.
Later Particulars.
After the shooting OF kalloch by Chas.
DeNoung and the incarceration of the
latter, who barely escaped from the
hands of the iniuriatcd worklngmen by
the aid of the police with no severe in
iurieS, the prison was surrounded by
the mob with view OF attack. The
Chief uf Police at once called Gen. Nc
Comb into consultation, ami Attorney
General Hamilton, who was present,
telegraphed 10 Governor Irwin Tor or
ders. No answer has been received, as
the Governors exact whereabouts are
unknown. Gen. McComb at once as
sumed the responsibility, and ordered
the military % assemble at their armO-
ries, where they are now waiting orders.
The news ofthe tragedy spread like wild
fire through the city, and the streets were
soon crowded with an excited mob.
Strong guards were placed over the
Chronicle business and printing offices
20 prevent them being sacked. VI. III.
DrIoung, who was at the ChroHtc'S
office at the time OF the shooting, at once
sought the city prison, where he Is now
in COMPANY with Charles. For some
time IL was uncertain what had been
done with the brothers, many believing
that thev hal been removed 10 Fort
AlcatraZ for greater safety, but they are
still at the prison, and at the request
OF committee of wOrkingmen, headed
by ClituS Barbour, their candidate tor
Congress, they were allowed 20 select
twelve men, who were sworn I'M Us
special officers % stay about the prison
taken away.
Pursuant 10 a call the Workingmen
ar. now assembling. Ii is announced
that they will march in a body % the
priSOn and demand the DeGOungs be
surrendered 10 them, and If the demand
be not complied with they will attempt
To storm the prison and take them by
force. Ii is very doubtful, however,
that such an attempt will he made, as
the authorities have made ample prepa-
ration, and the building is strongly de-
Tended.
AT latest accounts KallOch WAS some
what easier and one OF the physicians
addressed the crowd saving there was a
probability OF his recovery. On the
contrary, another medical attendant
stated positively that he could not live
through tomorrow. Kalloch'S family
is ont Of the city. Great fears are en-
tertancd for the peace Of the city dur
ing the coming night AMI every prepa-
ration is being m&de tO suppress ylo-
lence. Public sentiment seems mainly
10 run against DeYouug, partly on ac-
count Of the manner Of tine escape, and
partlv because the Chronicle in itS as
saults ON Kalloch has been abusive be-
yond all precedent in political cam
paigus.
The circumstances leading % the shoot
ing Of KallOch by Charles DeNOung are
as follows After kalloch was noml-
mated by the Workingmen Of the city
for Mayor, Chas. DeIOung in a speech
nj the State Convention of Honorable
Bilks. announced that he would compel
Kalloch's withdrawal from the contest.
Subsequently, he notified kallOCh that
unless he withdrew he would rake up his
record in the columns Of the thryfljc's.
KaIlOch sent back word for him % 20
ahead, that he could tell worse things
about the DeNoungs than they could
bring against him.
On Wednesday last the Chronicle came
ont with long article reviewing kal-
lnch's career in Boston and Kansas,
dwelling particularly on his reported
amours. and also ventIlating his pOllti-
cal and business record. Thursday :
and FRIDAYS issues contained similar
and more elaborate articles, and dragged

iny sundrv immoralitics on his part.
kallOch had advertised u mass meet
ing at the Metropolitan Temple last
night. at which, il was given out, he

sent KalIoch word that il he read that
article he would shoot him on sight.
Last evening IN immense audience
gathered at the Metropolitan Temple,
and the street outside was packed with
a crowd numbering thousands. kal-
lOch addressed the indoor meeting, sCor-
ing the DeYoung's mercilessly and re-
flecting upon their personal record and
family antecedents in the most direct
manner. Alter adjouyuing the meeting
