SHOOTING OF A MINISTER.
After. the shooting OF KallOch by Charles
DeYoung, and Incarceration of the latter,
who barely escaped from the hands Of the
infuriated Workingmen under the aid Of
the police officers, with no severe injuries,
the prison was surrounded by the mob
with the view of an attack. The police
stretched ropes and prepared to resist an
attack. The Chief Of Police at once called
General McComb in consultation, and At
torney General Hamilton, who was
present, telegraphed to Governor Irwin
for orders. No answer has as yet been
received, as the Govern or's exact where
abouts is unknown. General Nc

they are now awaiting orders.
Newso Of the tragedy spread like wiIdfire
through the city, and the streets were soon
crowded with excited throngs. Strong
guards were placed over the Chronicle bust
ness and printing offices to prevent them
from being sacked. NJ. Fl. DeYoung, who
was at the Chronicle Office at the time Of
the shooting, at once sought the City
Prison, where he is now in company with
Charles. For some time 1t was uncertain
what had been done with the brothers,

Of committee OF workingmen, 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 DeYoungs were not taken away.
Pursuant to call, the Workingmeu are
now assembling. 1t tisannouncedt that they

attendance addressed the crowd, saying
there was possibility OF his recovery.
On the contrary, another medical attend

Great fears are entertained for the peace
Of the city during the coming night, and
every preparation is being made to sup

Public sentiment seems mainly to run
against DeY Young, partly on account OF the
manner Of his escape, and partly because
the Chronicle, in Its assaults upon Kallobh,
has been abusive beyond all precedence
in political campaigns.
The circumstances leading to the shoot

that unless he withdrew he. would rake up
his record in the columns Of the Chronicle.
Kalloch sent back word for him TO go
ahead, that he could tell worse things
about the DeYoungs than they could
bring against him.
