couragiug, The brief attack on Music Hall,
for the purpose of getting the cannon there,
was the only thing IN the shape of an organ
lied effort Of any magnitude. Itmay be that
the vicious volieys fired into Court street and
down Main street at S C'clock were merciful
after al, as they aesm to have prevented the
gathering cf any larger crowd at any point.
About 1890 crowd was breaking into a
pawnshop on Central avenue and stealing
pistols. A detachment of pOlics soon settled
