mitteeman Hayes walked excitedly up
and down the platform exclaiming in a
departing manner, "Oh, my God, my
God, wish this had not happened. y
His eyes were watery and he was almost
crying when he addressed the mob after
Browns harangue. His voice failed and
he was obliged TO pause for utterance.
Hayes speech was of the same tenor as
Browns, as was also that Of Mr.. O'Neil,
who followed Hayes. Casper Heep, an
rived in the meantime, was busy among
the crowd turning upon the excited indi-
viduals the arguments which the commit
teemen were urging from the platform.
After while the temper of the mob
cooled down and they dispersed with
threats to avenge the deaths caused by
the deputies.
A few of the more violent strikers,
after arming themselves, announced
their intention Of attacking the deputies
on guard at the Ohio Mississippi yard,
and advanced in that direction. When
near the yards they were met by several
deputies and fired upon them, killing.
as they say, one of their number.
Mayor Joyce, after his encounter with
the deputies on the bridge, after he at
tempted to arrest them in their flight,
went through the excited crowds to his
office. He attempted to calm the men
but found it useless. The streets and
sidewalks were crowded with women
and men rushing in every direction.
Reaching his office about an hour after
| the shooting. he at once issued a procla-
nation closing all saloons and warning
women and minors to keep off the
streets. He was seen with Messrs.
Bailey and Hayes, of the Knights of La
Dor. who were urging him to do all in
his power to calm the men. He said
thai he had notified the. Governor two
weeks ago, but he had done nothing and
that he was atterly powerless.
At noon to-day Sheriff Raquiequet
sent the following dispatch to
the Governor: A mob Of two
hundred men invested the entrance of
the Louisville Il Nashville yards and
stopped the employees Of the road.
When commanded by me and my depu-
ties to disperse, they hooted and de-
rided me and my posse, and applied cpl
thets to me and refused to dispense in
the presence Of the city police officers.
With the force at my disposal cannot
preserve the peace and afford protection
to the railroad companies, and, under
the circumstances, intend to send my
posse to their homes. hereby invoke
the aid OF the State for militia sufficient
TO aid in the execution of the laws and
protection Of property. l will forward
written request for militia by the next
mail.

Some Of the deputies who waited to
escape with those who fed to this city
were chased by the crowd into the
| freight warehouses and the offices of the
Louisville & Nashville. The warehouse
was surrounded by an immense crowd,
who hooted and yelled, and urged the
men to attack the stronghold and drive
the deputies out. Men went among the
crowd urging each other TO procure arms
and shoot all the deputies they could
find, Some Of the deputies, watching
their opportunity, slipped out and
worked their way among the freight
