Parade Of the Patriotic Societies At
tended by a Fierce Fight -Bystander
Killed by "A Parsder.
BosroN, MASS. July 4.-The Fourth
of July parade Of the patriotic societies
Of Boston and vicinity, at East Boston,
this afternoon, ended in fatal pitched
battle between some OF the paraders and
the spectators.
John w. Wills, laborer of East
Boston, one Of the spectators, was shot
and instantly killed; Michael Boyle of
East Boston had his head split open by
n club, and now lies dying at City Hos
pitali a young man named Stewart had
his nose cut off with sabre in the
hands of one of the paraders; Patrick
Kelly sustained severe scalp wound,
whether from club or bullet is not
known aud Officer A. S. Bates was hit
in the mouth by brick thrown by an
unknown person and lost several teeth,
besides suffering from severe decorations.
IL Is claimed that the trouble ali re-
suited from the persistence Of those who
managed the parade in introducing II
float presenting "The Little Red School
house," which, from its association as
the emblem OF the American Protective
Association, has become obnoxious to
many persons, especially those who do
not sympathize with the A, P. A. move
ment.
At several points the feeling of the
crowd was given vent in Kisses at the
1900 paraders aud the schoolhouse, but
no further demonstration was made
until the rear Of the parade had reached
Putnam street, when the crowG tried to
overturn the last carriage.
Word was sent to the from. for police
assistance and a--sduad OF 20 officers
were sent baek. A skirmish followed
betwceRthe crowd and the officers and
MTehael Doyle received a fractured
skull. A man named Stewart Of Brooks
street, had his nose cut off by sabre In
the hands of Albert Il, Andrews OF
Everett, a private in the Rosebury
Horse Guards, who went to the assist
ancc OF the occupants in the carriage.
BY this incident the feeling of the crowd
was intensified, and when the parade
broke up and those who had partici-
pated were proceeding in companies to
the ferry in order to reach this city q
group of between so and 70 was sur
rounded on Border street by crowd,
who commenced hooting and throwing
| stores.
A dozen reyolvers were drawn and,
in response 70 the fusilaie of stones,
eight OF nine shots were fired. The firing
OF the reyolyers brought large body Of
polite 10 the spot and the mob was soon
dispersed. AS the scene was cleared the
officer found John Wills dead in the
street with bullet hole in his right
side, and Patrick A. Kelly lying seri-
ously wounded about the head. II was
\ learned later that several other persons
had been slightly injured, all Of whom
were taken away by their friends.

Or4iar for Machinery.


Orpier for Machinery.
The PXsey & Jones co. will soon
complete the Lille quadruple-effect
SXaporatlng apparatus which it is con-
ftructlng for the Sugar Apparatus Manu-
featuring Co. of Philadelphia.
The last of the four main castings, each
weighing 10000 pounds, and the four
brass castings, weighing 1000 pounds,
have just been taken from the foundry
TO the machine shop for finishing. They
are huge and OF intricate design and
have taxed a high order of foundry skill
to insure their coming from the sand in
the perfect condition and form which
they now exhibit
The castings and other parts when
put together present a massive aud
consequently impressive appearance,
especially TO the prncticed mechanical
eye, commanding admiration alike for
the designer and tha constructors.
The completed machinery set up for
operation will occupy space of about
60x30 feet.
This apparatus will be used for con-
verting the black refuse moiasses into
alcohol, and the residue OF the former
into pressed cake of material intended
for cattle feed. This process will reduce
the cost of producing alcohol to de,
gree that will practically revolutionize
the business and will convert into a
valuable product material which
would otherwise be discarded as worth
less, or if used at all would be rated so
low in value as to be nearly worthless.
The apparatus is designed for the
works of the American Sugar Refining
Co. Of Brooklyn. Those interested are
highly pleased with the results already
obtained and S. Morris Lille, the
patentee, is to be congratulated upon
the success that is assured. The ma.
chinery is exactly in the line OF the
Pussy d Jones Co., and the general
benefits will probably be shared by this
city.
