COMPARATIVE QUIET.

1870 p. m. The city remains quiet up
to this hour. The railway companies h1ve
sustained no molestation OF any kind, and
with the exception of the Lake Shore are
moving about all the freight offering. The
Northwestern road has arranged to resume
operations tomorrow with full force oi
men. Forty-four wounded officers and
men are at the county hospital. At 2
o'clock Officer Barnett was reported dying,
and there appears to be little hopes Of sav.
ing the lives OF Officers Mullen and Jacob
Hansen, Nelson Hansen and Redden. The
remaining officers in the hospital wards ell
have a show OF recovery, but some are e4-
tremely low. {
