AGRApHIC DESCRIPTION.
The city was comparatively quiet thil
afternoon.
Six hundred Loyalists drilled near the
city OF Armagh last night.
An eye witness Of the riots on Wednes
day gives the following description Of the
scene attending the mob's attack on the
Bowers Hill Police Station: Women with
pokers 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 entreatOd the
men to continue the fighting whenever
they tagged, offering them aprons full o
fresh stones, and when entreaty failed the
women and girls drove the men on by say
age threats.
The police station is moderate sized
dwelling house. When the mob attackeC
the building the police responded with 1
yolley fred from the doorway, but the
rioters soon drove the officers In and they
retreated upstairs and thence maintained
the fight on the inside by shooting from
the windows OF the bedroom on tht
second floor. They held their position fol
q half hour, during which the battle wa
hot and eayage on both sides, when they
we're reinforced by the arrival Of seventy
fresh officers. The increased energy o
the police warfare served but to aggrayatt
the mob, and they became furious. They
were maddened by the sight Of their com
rades shot down, wrlthing and hoWlinl
with agony in the street.
