 Governor" The two new victims today were J W. Scott and a three weeks old negro girl, the daughter of Lawrence Paine. of Springfield. The baby succumbed to exposure when it's parents started to walk from Springfield to Pittsfeld in an effort to avoid persecution. Scott died in hospital of wounds received Friday night.
 Scattered sections of the city were in an uproar at different times during the early part of the night.
 The storm center was Harvard Park. where the troops were called last night. Militiamen were twice fired upon there from ambush, but no one was hurt. Shots were also heard in other sections of the park which Is a new suburb adjoining the city on the southeast.
 Over in the western end of town in the viciinty of the State House and arsenal. there were several cases of revolver firing by rowdies. The ma rauders travelled in groups of two or three. obeying the orders of militia patrols to keep moving. but as soon as they were we'll passed the groups of soldiers they drew revolvers, fired Into the air and fled down side streets es- caping in the darkness.
 Two small fires, apparently not con- nected with the rioting, added to the excitement and served to frighten the residents. AS a consequence calls for troops were frequent and the militia had a hard night.
