By an unscoountAble motive the mob
stands in the strsets in range Of the sol.
dier's guns, apparently courting death.
There is no method, no purpose apparent.
II is typical mob of mNdmen. Just now
q man who yentured near the scene
saw . yolley fired and = man named
Ed Gallagher, whom this man happened
10 know, fell dead. Several others we're
wounded. At this hour there Is no cessa'
tiCn Of the firing. Indeed 1t has grown
heavier and Is accounted for by the state
ment that the mob have procured cannon.
Colonel Harper's order 70 the Fourth Reg
imtnt has Just been given. IL directs the
colonel to march his men quietly up Fourth
street to Sycamore, thence mp Sycamore to
the iail, and to dispsrSe whatever mob
may be in the way, but at all events TO
ioin the other troops now in the Jail. Z
tells him the troops there will be looking
for him. Ii will be nearly an hour before.
this order can be carried into effect
There is a possibility that the Eourtn
Regiment may reach the scene without
encounteling much resistance. The moo
at this time seems gathered principally at
the corner Of Main and Ninth streets IN
der cover. The scenes during this men,
orable night have b en- indescribable. No
mCb could have been less equipped
by organiEation or leadership than
his one nor does it sstm the military
and police I :ye had any good plan or lead
ership. The preparations for defense made
during the day were all against attack from
SYCAMORE street. Main street was left eH-
posed and witnesses say almost no opPosi-
tion WIS made to firing the treasurer's
Office. Toe tn ops were all gathered IN the
iail, The ire department for once refused
respond TO the alarm until an escort OF
troops was sent When the irst engine
sppes red the mob with drawn reyolyers
warned them to 90 no further. They
obeyed while hspd 10 hand tight was ia
progress The police now and then made
a dash for the crowd and arrested num-
Der Of riolOrs, 'aking them into the Jail.
They refused 10 give their names in every
instances. Many OF them were well dressed
and good looking.
The Dead and wounded.
1t is still impossible 10 say how many
Gesd snd wounded there are. Nine bodies
sre in the morgue at HsbiS's One is

Ii i said this hall, after passing through
both legs, killed small boy now st Hablgs.
Seven dead men are IN the Anzeiger
tiice at Vine and Canal. Three dead men
we're at Court and Vine who could not be
reached. Rumors are abundant among
them that Colonel Hunt and Lieutenant
Tom O'Meara Of the POlice.force have been
killed in the Jail. Tnis cannot be verified
AZ this time ss communication with the
Jail is difficult.
Two A. M.-The worst over.
The good news comes that the crowd has
all gone from the vicinity OF the court
house, and that the dre engines are play
ing on the ire at the carriage factory. The
ire seems TO have been ex,inguished by
the mob. The Fourteenth Regiment has
NOT vet reached the court house, but Will
now have no difficulty in getting there.
Colonel Harper has Just received the
following telegram;
