Observations up to date shew that our papers

of our distinguished citizens TO this town. Thus
far they have failed to make honorable mention
of one who Is often seen upon the streets of our
village. and who has been one OF us since 1877.
or long before the Father of the Court y and
many others dreamed of becoming citizens of
Ascension. Why! Because he is still bach

rioters ~ drag the pieces through the mud
A squad of policemen emerged suddenly
upOn them when they were all at the ropes
dragging the guns along, and Knocked them
down with their CLUBS before they knew
they were attacked 1t was tine most bril-
liant piece OF work of the night.
At eleven o'clock the whole ourt-house
was on fire. One of the fire companies tried
10 force lis way through the mob, but was
driven back precipitately. The rioters then
battered the engines 10 pieces with axes
The building was burning from cellar To
dome. The law library and Recorders
office We're broken open and cords OF books
and records piled up wherever there was
woodwork. The court house was solid
structure three-Stores in height, and has
stood twenty-five years. Ii was built almost
entirely of stone and iron, and was Thought
to be iirr. proof The safe and vaults IN the
Treasurer, Office probably stood ths heat
but the records of the courts the Auditor,
and the Recorder are gone. The mob yelled
with gler about the burning building.
The firing around the court house contln-
ued at intervals The t,ating-gun was fired
ten minutes with deadly effect. There Is
strong condemn ton on the streets OF the
manner In which the people were moved
down with this gun II is said the crank
was turned halt way around, and when the
people rushed up to help those who had
fallen, the remaining half of the charge was
fired into them and another swaii fell.
Many of the killed and wounded were
merely lookers-on. The crowd was fired
upon almost as often as the mob proper
After the recapture of the cannon from
the rioters it became evident that nothing
further could be done toward capturing the
Jail, and the mob soon aftcrward began to
disperse, and before hall-past four o'clock
in the morning the turbulence and riot of the
night had ceased entirely, and the I'M
mense crowd dwindled down to merely a
few knots of men here and there on the
corners. Smouldering ruins, pools OF
blood and pickets of militia marked the
section about the courthouse and jail. The
monetary loss was fully 5000, 600.
An the criminal indictments were
DESTROYED, and now there is nothing to show
against the prisoners in the jail The coun'
t. records are safe. 1t is now supposed that
no less than twenty personswere killed anu
aS many more severely injured in Satur-
day nights broil.
