THE ORANGE RIOTS.
Belfast Still the Scene of Turbu-
| lence and Outbreaks.
BELFAST, June 10.-The people here
have been wrought to state of great ex-
element by the riotous demonstrations OF
Orangemen during the past two days. AL
work is stopped, stores are closed and
many residences are being closely barri-
caded. At midnight a mob of OraDgemen
raided a public house, kept by a Catholic
named O'Hara, and after sackng it set ii
on fire. The police charged the rioters q
| dozen times with bay0nets, but each time
| were forced back by volleyS of stones. The
police were finally forced to take refuge in
the barracks, where they fired upon the
mob from the second story windows. The
mob, however, held their ground twenty
minutes longer, although the firing of the
police was heavy and incessant. Scores
of the rioters were wounded, and it
Is known positively that six men
| and two women were killed.
Four of the lrioters, who were wounded
by the police in yesterdays riots, died to-
day, and four more are dying. The
Orangemen are making
| LARGE PURCHASES OF ARMS
and are declaring that they will have re-
| venge on the police for firing into the ranks.

their withdrawal. The city was compare
lively quiet this forenoon. Seven hundred
extra policemen are now in town. Six
| hundred Loyalists drilled near the city of
| Armagh last night. An eye witness of the
riots on Wednesday gives the following de-
scription of the scenes attending the mOb's
attacks on the Bowers Hill police station:
Women with pol1ers pried up paving stones
and broke them into suitable sizes for the use
of the rioters when they ran short of missiles.
Women and young girls desperately entreated
the men to continue the fiehting whenever
they Jagged, Offering them aprons full Of
fresh stones, and when entreaty failed, the
| women and girls drove the men on by savage
threats. The police station is a moderate
sized dwelling house. When the mob attacked
| the building the police responded with a vol
ley fired from the doorway. But the rioters
soon drove the officers in, and they retreated
up stairs and thence

on their side by shooting from the windows
of the front room on the second floor. They
held their position for a half hour, durin 6
which the battle was hot and savage on both
sides, when they were reinforced by the ar
rival of seventy fresh officers. The increased
energy of the police warfare served but to
aggravnte the mob, and they be-
came ferocious. They were maddened
by the sight of their comrades shot down,
writhing and bowling with agony in the
street. I have since heard officers say that
they never knew a mob to show greater
viciousness, violence, pluck and determine
ton. Despite their desperation, the rioters
hurled their missiles with regularity and
precision, as if they had been drilled in stone
throwing When the men in front had eX-
hausted the ammunition they would retire to
the rear to receive fresh armfuls from the
! women. and thus make way for their CON-
| rades with new supplies. Some of the stone
throwing was quite extraordinary. One ma
threw stone with such vigor that it crashed
through window, struck rear wall and re-
bounded with such force that it struck and
hurt a policeman. The better armed of the
rioters carried what we call here belfast
Kidneys These are stones about five and
one-half inches long, three and one-half
| inches broad and weigh Oh an average about
one and one-half pounds. There were many
boys amongt the rioters, and they were
as desperate and plucky as the men. The
battle only ceased when $50 soldiers came to
the aid of the police. The soldiers were from
the Highlanders and the Fusileers, and they
soon drove the mob away. A waitress be-
longing to a tavern near the Bowers Hill police
station was shot through the brain. A youth
standing in bar in tavern opposite the
station was shot A girl named Minnie Nc
Allister, who was out to buy pair of shoes,
was shot in the cheek. A boy named Kale
was shot in the breast. A barmaid named
Kelly was shot through the head. The people
living in the neighbOrhood where the riot1ng
began say it was

under mistaken impression, belaboring and
cudgelling some orderly workmen leaving a
foundry. According to this story the pcpu-
lace got angry at the police for their cruel
| and unjustlfiable conduct and attempted to
make them deSiSt. When conflict became
imminent so the story goes, the mob offered
to behave if the police were withdrawn, but
not otherwise.
The people of the Shank hill road meet
ing to-day attacked the police. The mill
tary were summoned and the crowd was

ing was summoned to "denounce the

their duty to do the utmost in their power
to bring the disturbers of the peace to JUS

The funeral of Thomas Gallagher, the
Orangeman, who was shot and killed during
the riot at Lurgan on Tuesday, took place
to-day. The funeral procession was pro-

An Infatuated mob held possession of the
streets and wrecked and pillaged the tav-

buckshot into the mob. So far as known
no one was fatally wounded. Many of the
police were injured by stones. The appeals
of the clergy to the rioters to disperse were
futile. Eventually the troops cleared the
streets.
