BELFAST, June 1.-THE funeral Of
Thomas Gallagher, the Orangeman who was
shot and killed during the riot at Lurg0n
Wednesday. took place to-day. The fu.
moral procession was protected by 100
soldiers and 200 policemen. A mob Of
Catholics jeered the mourners, and threat
ened to stop the hearse, but the police held
them in check. The political excitement
is leading to dangerous quarreis among
the women in the factories at Lurgan. At
one factory Protestant families have struck
work, demanding q dismissal OF Catholics.
Rioting was renewed to. night. An infu-
rated mob held possession OF the streets,
and wrecked aud pillaged taverns. The
| police wero com PEELED to fire buckshot into
the mob. AS far IS is known. no one Yves
fatally wounded. Many Of the police were
| injured by stones. The appeals of the
| clergy to the rioters to dispense were fu-
tile. Eventually troops cleared the streets.
An Associated Press reporter was de-
| tailed to remain on the scene OF the riot.
At 5 o'clock this morning he replied as
follows: 81 remained among the rioters
all night. The greatest damage in the way
OF wrecking and looting was lone along
Shank Hill and Corn Road. The fighting
in both ~thoroughfares was desperate and
continuous. The mob was composed OF
the lowest rufians. The bayonets OF the
police had no terror for them, and In
many cases / saw the mob, in overwhelm-
ing numbers, press up against the bsyo-
nets Of the police and drive them back.
The only instances in which the police
drove the mob at all. so far as l could OBJ
serve, were those in which the officers, in
compact lines, fired at close range rapid
volleys of buckshot. These the rioters
could not stand against, and they were
driven back, but even under such a CALLING
fre the rioters would drop to the pave
ments and rush upon the police while
they were reloading. 1t is impossible
to describe the state. Of terror under
which the respectable Catholic people
OF Belfast are now living in consequence
Of tho prevalent anarchy Of bigotry. The
bravest Of them hardly dare to venture
out doors in daylight even. / know thai

hospitals this morning. II is feared that

citizens demand OF the Government aD

order. Fighting Of this kind. in such
close ranges, is practically hand-to-hand
