calculated to excite the troubled mind


of the populace was one that the deput,

Each and all of the deputies positively
say that their action in the matter wa.
involuntary, and that they had no choice
but were compelled to act as they were
directed.


Early yesterday afternoon it was
whispered around that some party ol
men were going up to Frodsham's
house, and intended to take possession
of his remains and dispose of them in
some unknown manner HeaFipg,this,

but whose name she could not recall,
came to her as friend Of lier hus-

of men were going torher house somet
time during the night and take possess

carry it away. He further said that
women had met with the same fate be-

Fortunately for everybody interested,
no bad break was made by any one, and
at two O'Clock this morning the city
had regained its customary tranquility,

extra force of merchants' police had but
little to do after midnight.


The rougher class heartily condemned
the action of the vigilantes, and were
no way backward in threatening to re-
venge the death of their two pals.
There were some. however, who
thought that the act was rash, and

who attempted to tear it down. No
body dared to fly in the face of this
