 Alarming Conflict of Factions
 ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 31.-The latest authentic account received by the mail steamer Lady Glover this evening states that the first shot in the Harbor Grace riot was fired by High Constable Doyle. It was he who shot Callahan, the first man killed on Wednesday. The despatch goes on to say that as soon as the first volley of sealing guns was discharged into the ranks of the Orange men they fled precipitately, tearing of their sashes and badges and abandoning their ban ners and flags. Young Dermody was wound ed while raising the green flag over the rem- nants of the Orange banners which he had torn into shreds When the retreating Orangemen reached that quarter of the city where their stronghold was, they rallied and began to break the windows and shut ters of the houses of the Roman Catholics and maltreat any individuals they met. While the Catholic bishop, Dr. McDonald was on his way to Bears Cove accompanied by Father Rowe he was ct tackled by an Orange mob and insulted with the most outrageous language and with threats to throw him over the precipice. Father Rowe, who is powerful, muscular man, kept of the crowd till the horse police arrived. They formed an escort for them the remainder of the journey. Numbers of the Roman Catholics who left their homes for safety have returned, and those who had been immured in their houses since last Wednesday from apprehension of Orange brutality are liberated to-day, their confreres in Harbor Grace having succeeded last night in furtively reaching them with arms and ammunition. At Spani- asd Bay, the Mucous of Conception Bay Orangeisn1, raid was perpetrated on the RoD4ap Catholic buryirg ground and mon urasn&s, crosses and railings torn down and denoliahed. Constable CoughIan arrested an Orapeeu,en et o'clock this morning at Cou- raga beach. He had a sealing gun on his snonlder with charge of nine fingers of powder and two bottles contai alng powder and hot in his pockets Two. of the badly wounded Orange men died this evening. Two more of the wounded are dying tonight. One man has forty shot in hi.s body. The Roman Catho- lies are loudly usmanding prosecutions against the Orange society, it's abettors and followers. Peace sermons were preached in all the churches yesterday. Bishop McDon- aIa pledssd his word and influence that all Catholics wou'N aesp the peace.
