and possessed themselves Of the contents
Numbers are lying about the streets drunk
and others made desperate by drink are
prowling about the streets crying out, ITO
hell with the Pope" Several assaults were
made by the police upon the rioters.
Twenty-Five OF the latter have already been
severely wounded by the bricks and shots
fired into them. The police have been
ordered to fire balls tonight in the event OF

ANOTHER CONFLICT.
! Last night mob of Orangemen made an
attack on the tavern kept by Catholic

during which they used their carbines,
drove the mob away in disorder. The riot
and again attacked Duffy. This time over
powering 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 critical condition.
When the Orangemen returned to the fight
they were accompanied by large number
Of factory girls, who goaded or shamed the
men on to battle, and formed most dan
gerous element. When the officers aban-
doned Duffys house the mob at once took
complete possession of the tavern. 1t was
at once thoroughly sacked, all taps and
spiggots were eel running and everybody

liquor found in stock were carried into the
street, lifted up high, and let fall until they
broke and liberated their contents. All
center of the roadway and burned in a
bonfire to furnish the rioters 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 orgie than the men. The
noise, profanity, and disorder were terrible.
The mob ended its work here by firing the
tavern itself and it burned to the ground.
The stronger men, who became infuriated
and not overpowered by their :.potations,
ran through the streets wrecking and pill
their following the further they proceeded.
These rioters after awhile congregated
around the police station and stoned the
place until they were tired. Then they
marched to another tavern. The police
hastened thither in advance and attempted
to protect the property but were
ovERPOwERED AND DRIVEN AWAY.
The mob were left in possession, and
treatsd this tavern as they had treated
Duffy's-turned. on all the t. ps, broke the
full barrels in the street and made bonfire
OF the furniture, and finally set fire to the
building. The police returned, and this
time got the better for time of the mob,
whose ranks were depict ed by scores who
guished the flames before they could gain
control OF the structure, but the officers
were unable to drive the rioters from the
lots, and they remained and dominated over
it until morning. During the rowdyism OF
the night Gladstone and Parnell were both
burned in efigy, and a dummy labelled
Home Rule" was cremated. Two men
named Hart and Mason, were arrested TO-
day for the murder OF Thomas Gallagher,
who was shot dead last night during the riot
ing at Lurgan. Gallagher was well-knowu
sash in the face OF Home Rulists during an
fire between that mob and the
Orangemen. During the riot the situation
at one time became so desperate that Mr..
Mathers, the local Orange leader, publicly
delared that unless the authorities did their
duty, he and thousands Of aged Orangemen
would take charge OF the town. Mathers
was on the point OF carryeng os.t his threat
when the
MILITARY APPEARED.
To-day there was little stone throwing
in Langon, but otherwise the town has
been quiet A number of policemen were so
badly injured last night that they are ye'
in the hospital. Twenty rioters are under
arrest. The Coroner Jury found Gallagher
died from the effects OF a gun shot wound,
and censured the authorities f,r not hav-
ing sufficient police to preserve order. The
rioting Was renewed this evening, and the
riot act was again read. The mob in
creased in size and began throwing stones
at the police. The latter fired killing four
persons, one OF whom was barmaid who
was looking out OF tavern window at the
fighting. The mob returned the fire and
brisk fuslade was kept up for twenty min
,ttes. Soldiers are now parading the
sity. The mob drove force OF $50 police
men into the barracks and attacked the
building, firing guns and throwing 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 a widow with two
