THE FIRST WARNING.
The frat warning to the brokers was
the cry Of woman who was seated
near the maniac. All eyes were at
tracted by the noise, the hubbub Of the
traders ceased, and in another instant
the shooting began. Every one
scrambled for the shelter Of bulletin

squad of officers arrived and the crowd
was driven back.

capture and removal Of the maniac
many we're slightly bruised and the
clothes Of some were badly torn.
