s'rl.ss serious collisions occurred IN
Iruunon and irankturteT strassen. As the
r.otug increased the authorizes issued an
order calling upon the people to close
thor houses and remain III doors. This
order. however. did not suffice 20 keep the
curious Oh the streets, and many unof-
fen hug persons must have suffered for
their lmprudence at the hands of the
police.

ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE.
Tracing the immediate genesis of the
riots, 10 will be found in the Intellectual
appeal OF the unemployed masons to Bur
gumaster Forc kenbeck for employment in
municipal work. The truth Of the whole
matter Is that the wOrklngmen at first had
nothing 10 do with the demonstration. 1t

growing out of the conflicts with the po-
Ice has expanded, the ferment among the
better class OF workingmen has grown.
