Chicago. May 6.-The Indignation and
concern of the general public respecting
the atroCiOus occurrence Of Tuesday
night has been IN no wise lessened as the
day passed. The prompt action of the
authorities in arres.ing three of the chief
consprators and accumulating evidence,
which it is believed will fix grea
crime upon them called forth the I'M
stinted praise. All ordinary places of
business are open, but there is an almost
entire cessation of all ordinary transac-
tons Business men are discussing the
event in all its serious aspects.
The mayor has been assured by all
classes of citizens Of their desire to aid
him in every possible way.

Wednesday morning the widest confu
sion prevailed at the hospital Every at
tendant male and female, had been on duty
since the occurrence of the tragedy, but the
nee ssty for their assistance seemed to grow
with the passing hours. Scores of carriages
wore coming and going from the building
and dozen tear-stained faces were pleading
simultaneously for the privilege OF seeing
their stricken relatives and friends The
Bohemian mother stood beside the brave
officers wife in the clerks office, each ask
ing the common favor-to be allowed at the
side of her dear one.
In Ward Q halfdozen unfortunate
officers were receiving attention. Side by
side at the west snd of the ward lay Officers
John barrett and George Miller Barrett
was scarcely alive. His wife, half-crazed
with grief and fear, was plying questions as
to her husbands condition to every one
who came in the ward
George Miller, the other victim, was at
tended by two physicians who were doing
all in their power to allay his sufYerings.
His intense agony brought the Precipitation
in great drops to his face. Neither man,
can, it is thought, recover.
In Ward two more patients in a critical
condition lay. They were Timothy Flaven
and Jacob Hansen, both policeman Hansen
will probably die and Flaven's recovery is
very doubtful
Two rioters, Emil Lutz and John Lepland,
lie in Ward 8. They are in very critical
condition and it is expected they will die. A
policeman lies beside them--a burly fellow
with ruddy face and healthy look. He ID
seriously injured, however, and will be con-
A''--' 'or long time.
