Rev. Jas. j. S. Kalloch defended himself,
before an immense audience, against the
charges, thirty years old, of immortality, pre-
ferred against him by the Chronicle. tie
said these charges were revived by Charles
and Nike De Young, whom he referred to
in his remarks as the two bastard sons OF
a prostitute" This morning, Charles De
Young drove in a covered coupe III front OF
the private entrance OF the Metropolitan
Temple. where Mr.. Kalloch has his study
and room, and sent a messenger boy, asking
him to come out. DIR. Kalloch immediately
appeared on the sidewalk, when De Young
shot him in the breast. Kalloch turned to
retreat within doors, when De Young shot
him in the back. Kalloch is believed to be
dead. A crowd Immediately seized the car
rage in which De Young was. turned 1t
over, and tore him out. He was dreadtully
kicked and bruised, and would no doubt
have been killed on the spot had not an un-
usual number of policemen come suddenly to
the rescue and hurried him to Jail.
The city is intensely excited. The police
did not think De Young safe in jail and had
made arrangements to hurry him to Fort

multitude is aroused to prevent any removal
of De Young from the Jail. There was new
er a time when San Francisco was more an
CRY.
Kalloch is shot through the left lung, just
above the heart. His physicians say that
with his strong constitution there is a bare
possibility of his recovery. The military are
under arms, and the police on duty to quel
any disturbance that may arise.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 23.-Strong
guards were placed over the Chronicle bust
ness and printing Offices to prevent them
from being sacked. NJ. II. De Young, who
shooting, at once sought the city prison,
where he is now in company with Charles.
For some time it was uncertain what had
been done with the brothers, many believ-
ing they had been removed in Fort Alca-
trase for greater safety, but they are still at
the prison.
At the request of a committee of work
ingmen, headed by Clitus Barbour, their
candidate for Congress, they were allowed
to select twelve men, who were sworn in as
special officers to stay about the prison and
see that the DE Youngs were not taken
away.
SAN Francisco, August 23.-In accor-
dance with notices posted on the streets, the
w%Orkingmen assembled in immense numbers
at the Sand Lots, and by 2 o'clock, notwith-
standing the crowds gathered on the streets
in town, over TO- 600 excited men were gath
cred around the rude rostrum. shouting,
cursing, and calling for the blood of Kali
Och's assassin. Clitus Barbour took the
stand and addressed the meeting, earnestly
urging the workingmen to await the arrival
of Kearney before taking further steps.
The crowd, however, was eager for action,
and listened with bad grace to all arguments
tending to delay their vengeance. But Bar
bour continued dwelling upon the fact that
they were unorganized and in no condition
to cope with the police and military. In re-
ply the crowd demanded to be led at once
down town to hang De Young and demolish
the Chronicle Office. Barbour Informed them
that the Presidents of the Ward Clubs were
in session and had decided to await the arri-
val of Kearney, but that if Kalloch died they
were fully determined to hang De Young
without delay. Tremendous cheers greeted
this announcement.
There is no doubt that in the event of
Kalloch's death, a determined effort will be
made to storm the Jail, rnd lynch both the
De Youngs. Military companies and clubs
Of workingmen are meeting and organizing,
and the excitement continues at the highest
pitch.
