would appear that trouble had been
anticipated, as quite a number of
workingmen were III the vicinity OF
the temple. They at once made IA
rush for the coupe, seized the
horses heads. and endeavOred to
get DeYoung out. He kept them
at bay moment with bis pistol;
meantime an officer arrived on the
scene. The crowd seized the coupe
and overturned it. AS it went over
DeYoung got out. lie and the
officers were at once attacked. The
officer was knocked down and
tramp,ed on and DeYoung beaten
about the head and face, though
not very seriously. The officer Da
Young, aud the driver of the coupe
struggled through the crowd amid
cries of ''Hang him! kill him !" At
the corner of Fifth and Market
streets two more officers made their
appearance, and with their assist
ance DeYoung was taken to the
Baldwin hotel, and, escaping by an
other entrance, got into a carriage
and drove rapidly to the police sta

EeYouDg was taken to one of the
tank cells while the crowd, num>
bering thousands, surrounded the
prison, and evinced a desire to make
an attack. Meantime the police
rapidly asse Thbled,i ropes were
stretched across the streets leading
to the prison, and every preparation
was made to resist attack. The
chief of police at once called Gen.
McCOmb in consultation, and At
torney General Hamilton, who was
present, teiegraphed to Gov. Irwin
for orders. No answer has yet been
received, as the Governors exact
whereabouts is not known. Gen.
McComb assumed the responsibility
and ordered the military to assem-
BILE at their armOries, where they
are now waiting orders. News of
the tragedy spread like wildfire
through the city, and the streets
were soon crowded with excited
throngs.
Strong guards were placed over
the Chronicle business and printing
offices to prevent them from being
}s4cked. NJ. III. D-Young, who was
at the ChyOni lie office at the time of
the shooting, sought the city prison.
where he is now In company with
tCharles. For some time it was
uncertain what had been done with
the brothers, many believing they
had been removed to Fort Alcatraz
for greater safety, but they are
still at the prison.
The circumstances leading to the
shooting of Mr.. Kalloch are as fol-
lows: After KallOch was nOmina,
ted by the workingmen of the city
az their candidate for Mayor,
Charles DeYoung, III speech at
the State Convention of the Honor
able Bilks, announced that he
would compel Kalloch's withdrawal
from the contest. Subsequently,, he
notified Kalloch that unless he
cord in the columns of the Chronicle.
KallOch sent back word Tor him to
go ahead that he could tell worse
things about the DeYoIngs than
they could bIi ing against him. On
Wednesday last the Chronicle came
out with long article reviewing
Kalloch's career in Boston and
Kansas, dwelling particularly Oh
his reported amOurs, and also ven
tilatiDg his political and business
record. On Thursday and Friday
the Chronicle contained similar and
more elaborate artic. es, and dragged
in KallOch's father. now dead,
RECRUITING sundry immOraliiies OH
his part.
Kalloch had advertised n mass
meeting at the Metropolitan Temple
last night, at which it was gwen
out that lie would read copy of an
article published some five years
ago by B. f. Naphtaly in paper
called The Sun. This article was
an attack upon the personal and
most pronounced character, and led
to an attempt on their part TO kill
Naphtally, which failed. DeYoung
sent KallOch word that il he read
that article they would shoor him
on sight. Last night an immense
audience gathered at the Metropo-
Titan Temple, and the street outside
was packed with a crowd, number
ing thousands. -allocll addressed
the indoor meeting, scoring the
DeYonngs mercilessld, and reflect
| ing. on their personal record and
| family aniecedents in the most
! direct manner. After adjourning
the meeting in the hall he went
outside, mounted u stand and spoke
briefly. After reviewing the at
tacks of the Chronicle upon himself
he said: In maligning the repu>
tatIon of my father, who has filed
an honorable grave for many years,
these journalistic vipers have rem
dered the most vicious retaliation
OH my part necessary and justifiablp.
Their disgraceful records make
such an attack possible, and l am
justified in pronouneing them the
bastard progeny of "a whore"
He said he had the SIN article in
his pocket cries of ''read it" "read
it,") but he did not wish to expend
all his ammunition at once. 1t would
be published immed lately in full in
the workiDgmen's paper, The Open
