BELFAST Ireland), June 9th.-Last night
mob of Orangemen made an attack upon
q tavern kept by Catholic named Duffy.
The police were promptly on the scene, and
after stubborn contest, during which they
used their carbines, drove the mob away in
disorder. The rioters reassembled with
increased strength and again attacked Duff
fy's, this time overpowering the police and
driving them from the place. In the first
assault Chief of Police Carr was wounded.
He was carried away, and now lies in a
returned 10 the fight they were accompa
MED by large number of factory girls, who
goaded and shamed the men on TO battle,
and formed most dangerous element
When the officers abandoned Dufy's the
mob at once took complete possession of
the tavern. 1t was at once thoroughly
sacked all the taps and spiggots were set
running, and everybody was invited TO
help himself according to his taste.
FRIGHTFUL oRGIFs.
All the barrels of liquor found in stock
were carried into the street, lifted up high
and let fall until they broke and liberated
their contents. All the furniture was car
ried out, piled in the center of the roadway
and burned in bonfire, 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, profanity
and disorder was terrible. The mob ended
its work here by firing the tavern itself, and
it was burned TO the ground. The stronger
men, who had become infuriated and were
not oyerpowered by their potations, ran
through the streets, wrecking and pillaging
wherever they went, and increasing their
following the further they proceeded
These rioters after awhile congregated
around the police station and stoned the
place until they were tired.
ANOTHER TAVERN LOOTED.
They then marched to another tavern.
The police fastened thither in advance
and attempted to protect the property but
they were overpowered and driven away.
The mob, left in possession, treated the
tavern as they had treated Duffy's, turned
on all the taps, broke full barrels in the
street, made bonfire of the furniture, and
finally set fire TO the building. The police
returned, and this time got the better for a
time of the mob, whose ranks were de-
pleted by scores who had fallen away in
drunkenness, and extinguished the flames
before they could gain control of the
structure. But the officers were unable to
drive the rioters from the lots, and they re-
manned and dominated it until morning
During the rows of the night Gladstone
and Parnell were both burned in effigy,
and dummy labeled home rule was
cremated.
ARRESTS FOR MURDER.
Two men, named Hart and Mason, were
arrested to-day for the murder of Thomas
Gallagher who was shot last night during
the rioting at Lurgan. Gallagher was a
well-known local simpleton. He waived an
Orange sash in the face of the home rule
crowd, keeping up an incessant fire between
that mob and the Orangemen. During the
riot the situation at one time became so
desperate that Mr.. Matthews, the local Or
ange leader, publicly declared that unless
the authorities did their duty he and
thousands would take charge of the town.
Matthews was on the point of carrying out
his threat when the military appeared.
COMPARATIVE QUIET.
To-day there was little stone-throwing
in Lurgan, but otherwise the town has
been quiet. A number of policemen were
so badly injured last night that they are
yet in the hospital. Twenty rioters are now
under arrest. The Coroner's jury found
that Gallagher died from the effects of gun
shot wounds, and censured the authorities
for not having sufficient police to preserve
order
RIoTING RENEWED.
The rioting was renewed here this even
ing, and the Riot Act was again read. The
mob increased in size and began throwing
stones at the police. The latter fired, killing
four persons, one of whom was a barmaid,
who was looking out of tavern window
at the fighting The mob returned the fire,
and brisk fusilade was kept up for twenty
minutes. Soldiers are now parading the
streets to assist the police in case of neces-
sity. The mob drove force.of $50 police
men into the barracks, and then attacked
the buildings, firing revolvers and throw
ing stones at the doors and windows. The
police fired, killing FIVE persons. Several
Protestant clergymen tried to disperse the
mob, but their efforts were unavailing.
One of the persons killed was widow
with two children.
