DETAILS OF THE RIoTINa.
At Duffy's tavern oil the furniture was
carried out, piled in the centre of the
roadway and burned to furnish the rioters
with light during their debauch. Men,
youths and girls. drank until they fell
helpless in the cutters, the girls acting
with greater fury during the earlier stages
of the orgie than the men.
The noise, the profanity, the disorder
were terrible. The mob ended their work
here by firing the tavern itself, and il
burned to the ground. Then the stronger
men, who had become infatuated and not
overpowered by their rotations, ran
through the streets wrecking and pillag-
ing wherever they went increasing their
following the further they proceeded.
The rioters after q while congregated
around the police station, and stoned the
place until they were tired. They then
marched down to another tavern. The
police hastencd there in an ambulance,
and attempted to protect the property,
but they were overpowered and driven
away. The mob left in possession treated
the tavern as they had trented Dulfy's,
turned ON all the taps, broke the iull
barrels in the street, made n bonfire OF
the furniture, and finally set fire to the
building.
The police returned and got the better
for time Of the mob, whose ranks were
depleted by the scores who Ind fallen
away in drunkenness, and distinguished
the flames before they could gain control
of the structure. But the officers were
unable to drive the rioters from the local
ity and they remained and dominated il
until morning.
During the rowdyism of the night Mr..
Gladstone and MIR. Parnell were both
burned in effigy, and dummy corpse
labeled "Home Rule" was cremated.
Chief of Police Carr was wounded and
now lies in critical condition. Twenty
five of the rioters were also injured by the
buckshot fired at them. The police have
orders to fire ball if the troubles continue.
BELFAST, June 9.-Rioting was re-
newed here this evening and the riot act
was again read. The mob increased in
size and began throwing stones at the
police. The latter fired, killing four per-

was looking out of tavern window OF
the fighting. The mob returned the fire
and brisk fusilade was kept up for 20
minutes to assist the police in case of
necessity.
