A Few Facts.

An Eye Witness Statement of What
 Happened to Wednesday Nights Pro-
 cession Just Before the Shots Were
 kfred.
 Various circumstances which happened just before the firing of the pistols Wednesday night as the great procession was passing are due the public, and we are enabled to lay be- fore our readers a statement by gentleman of unimpeachable veracity and high standing in the community ,who was an eye witness of what he relates, and as the public are aware, these circumstances were only repetition of a score of similar disturbances made along the line of march, as hundreds of citizens can testify. The gentleman says: As the head of the procession was nearing the junc- tion of Dwight and Oak streets I noticed a gang of young roughs, many of them with toot horns in hand, as was plainly evident from the din, noise and racket they kept up. They blew the horns as the procession was passing, occasionally varying the programme by jeering at men in the procession until the companies in uniform came along. Then one and another as opportunity offered began at- tempting to snatch away torches The men in line were tired, it being near the end of the march, and their torches lay or rather sagged on their shoulders. saw 8 number of attempts made to snatch the torches of the men from behind their backs. Then the gang also crowded and pushed against the procession, giving but little passage room. The gang had sticks in their hands. They were the round pieces of wood which came with the red fire torches to hold them by while burning. A number of these had been cast away after the red fire had burned. The roughs jabbed the ends of these against the men in line, and some times threw them and hit passers with them. Beside trying to snatch torches and otherwise make themselves offensive, they kept up their horn blowing and their jeering at the procession. I saw one fellow get crack along his back which ought to have done him good It did me good to see it. The rough tried to snatch away the Boy in Blue's torch. The latter turned quickly and let fly the torch at the offender, who bent to avoid the blow and received a sounding whack on his back They tried the same game with the colored men, only with sud- den increase of energy. They tried to snatch their torches, punched them with the ends of the sticks, jeered at them and acted worse than before. One colored man I saw start for man who tried to take away his torch. Several roughs started up to pitch into the colored man and help their companions. Sev, eral colored men started out of the line to help their comrade. In about half minute twenty colored men had taken hand in the case, and with such effect that the roughs took to their heels up Oak street, the colored men after them in pursuit, and it could not have been more than minute or two before I heard shots fired. Perhaps the colored mer fired the shots and perhaps it was the roughs That's all I know about it, except that 6 Democrat who saw what I saw expressed himself as glad when he saw the fellow get a whack from the torch from the colored man, and said he well deserved it.

Closing the Saloons.

It is not generally understood that all sa- looms where intoxicating liquors are sold must be closed on election days. Formerly the law was such that they might be closed by proclamation of the Mayors of cities or Selectmen of towns. There is no discretion in the present law, but all saloons must close and keep closed between the hours of a. m. and p. m. This law was made part of the election law of 1877, and may be found on page PAP of the Revised Statutes, section 30. Any person keeping open any place where liquor is sold or reputed to be sold is liable under the law to fine of $40 or thirty days imprisonment in jail, or both, and if licensed shall forfeit his license and be disqualified from having license for the space of one year.
 It is understood that the Society for the Prevention of Crime will have corps of de- tectives on the lookout for violations of the law on that day
