Judge Hillyer could not refuse
su p b an “^junction, for the case is too well
settled. All kinds of high courts—both
State and United States courts—have set-
tied it. In one case it was held that the
City Council of St. Louis could not even dis
miss a law suit that was filed for a right of
the people of the city (see city of St. Louis
vs. the St. Louis and Laclede Gas Light
Company, 3 Curt, page 72); and that any
citizen had a right to interfere. Al-o, see
Barren vs. District of Columbia, decided by
the Supreme Court of the United States, per

Florida Affairs.
A conespondent, writing from Fort Ma
son, Orange county, expatiates upon the de
lightful section of Florida known as the
lake section of Orange county as a summer
resort for tourists and especially invalids.
He says that the idea, generally conceded,
that the country is unhealthy, the water
bad, and insects numerous, is purely vision
ary. The country is perfectly healthy, so
much so that physicians cannot live by their
profession. There is not a practicing phy
sician within thirty miles of Fort Mason, in
Orange couuty, aud there is no need of one.
As fine springs as the continent produces
are to be found in this section, tho virtues of
which, in the cure of scrofula and lung dis
eases, need only a trial to bring them into
deserved notoriety. The homestead lands
have been generally taken up, but cheap
homes can be purchased on good terms.
The crops are fine, plenty of new corn for
bread, peaches, apples and watermelons in
abundance, and the situation very cheering
indeed.
Mr. C. G. Nealy, recently employed as a
mail agent, died on Tuesday, at Jackson
ville, after a brief illness, and his venerable
father, who is in the service of the Pension
Department of the government at Washing
ton, passed through this city Thursday for
his remains.
One negro murdered another at Mc-
Clenny’s turpentine still, near Jackson
ville, the other day. The weapon used was
a knife. -
Jacksonville has been completely deluged
with peaches. Consignees refused to take
them out of the express office, and they have
been sold for freight.
The Sumter Advance perspiringly remarks
that a lump of ice would be a curiosity in
Leesburg.
The first church erected in West Florida
occupied the site of the present Fort Barran
cas, and was built by the Dominican Mis
sion in 1096.
Twelve dogs were poisoned in different
parts of Jacksonville on Tuesday by unknown
and unauthorized parties. Most of the ani
mals were valuable, and highly prized by
their owners.
The following officers have been elected
by the Orange Couuty Fruit Growers’ Asso
ciation for the ensuing year : Dr. W. A.
Spence, Fort Reid, President; Dr. W. Kilmer,
First Vice President; Capt. M. E. Brock.
Second Vico President; George W. Moyers,
Recording Secretary; H. S. Kedney, Corres
ponding Secretary; Georgo H. Packwood,
Treasurer.
The city authorities of Jacksonville have
appointed an election at which the qualified
voters will determine whether or not the city
shall issue bonds to the amount of one hun
dred thousand dollars, to meet the obliga
tions of the corporation contracted under
Radical misrule and extravagance.
Mr. R. W. Biggs, ot Jacksonville, Las tho
proper appreciation of the unpaid efforts of
the fire department of that city, and has
made the department a donation of fifty
dollars in recognition of their services in
saving his property from destruction dur-
iug the recent fire.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s house, at
Mandarin, was struck by lightning last
Wednesday during a terrific Btorm. No
serions damage was inflicted on tho build-
ing.
The office of Deputy Collector of the port
of Jacksonville will probably be abolished,
as one person can very easily discharge all
the duties of the office.
A Democratic colored voter of Monticello
says that the negroes of Jefferson county
are making a big fuss about Liberia, and
almost every man, woman and child swear
they will be off next winter, bat when the
time arrives for action not one ot them will
be ready to depart.
The biggest excursion ol the season yet
among the colored folks, says the Floridian,
is to come off on the 6th of August. It
starts from Quincy, gathers strength in
numbers at Tallahassee and other points,
passes through Jacksonville, goes to St.
Augustine, oogles the Indians, and then
having had all that fun for an exceedingly
cheap price, returns in their usual overflow
of good spirits.
The ladies of Leon have raised two hun
dred dollars for a Confederate monument.
A rencontre occurred at a picnic party on
the Withlacooehee river, about twelve miles
from Brooksville, last week, in which a Mr.
Smith was wounded and a Mr. Sanders
fatally shot.
Judge DuPont, immigration agent for
Florida, will leave shortly on an extended
trip to the North and West.
Three pecan-nut trees, s aventeen years old,
growing in Escambia county, have produced
truit in one soasoq that sold for one hun
dred and twenty*fivo dollars, besides the
large quantity consumed by the family.
Some of these trees have attained the
height of seventy-five feet, and in Escam
bia there are numerous volunteer seed
lings, which seem to grow as readily as
hickories.
A new daily called the Evening Chronicle
ha3 made its appearance in Jacksonville,
published by Cubbedge, Clark & Co., and
edited by E. M. Thompson. It is spicy and
full of matters of local interest, and we
trust will be a success.
The Monticello Constitution says : “About
three years ago, by an arrangement with
Mr Brenner, the Superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, at Au
gusta, the citizens of Monticello subscribed
several hundred dollars to secure a telegraph
Una to this place. The o&ce wasi established
and was progressing finely until January
last when Mr. Brenner, without any warn*
Iug’to our citizens, removed the apparatus
and discontinued the office. No reason has
ever been assigned tor the unceremonious
proceeding. The wire has been injuredland
the polls allowed to decay aud fall down.

tnat corporations are devoid of soul,’ but
we verily believe that this Telegraph Super
intendent has a sufficiency of brass in his
composition to start a young foundry.”
The Jacksonville Press says : “Mr. Wil-
liain Astor, Commodore of the Jacksonville
lacht Club, is now bnildlDg a maguificent
vessel for pleasure purposes. She is supe-
rior in size to the Mohawk, and isconstruct-
ea ror Southern cruising. Her length on
keel is one hundred and twenty-five feet
nine inches, and over all one hundred and
forty:five feet. The extreme breadth of
beam is twenty-nine feet, depth of hold
twelve feet three inches, and draught of
ten aud a half feet in ballast.’ She
will have a centre board twenty-eight feet
long and about fifteen deep. The name is
yet a secret. This fine vessel will be launched
about the first of September, and our citi
zens will probably have the pleasure of see
ing her in our noble river before Christmas.
She will carry a crew of fifteen men, exclu
sive of officers, and will cost a quarter of a
miUion.”
A correspondent at .Iola, Calhoun couuty,
w «J®b : “The Board of Public Instruction
of Calhoun county has located schools at
the loilowing places : One at Wowahitehka,
Philadelphia, Hixe’s Creek, colored, Abe
Spring, Cbipola and Shiloh. Only one is
now running, and the board has ordered a
three-mill tax t« |be collected to raise funds
to run them all. The board will divide the
money among the schools so as to run each
one three months.”
A correspondent writos us from Mikes-
ville, Columbia county, as follows: “Corn
crops, I don’t think,are as good as last year,
though I think enough will be madee to do
the present inhabitants. Cotton crops, I
think, are better than last year, though
caterpillars are now said to be in it. If
true, it will make the planters wear long
faces, as we still have a Radical tax to pay.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
Ought Not the United State. Semite to be
Remodeled ?
[Correspondence of the Morning News.]
As tlie State convention is in session
for the purpose of forming a new consti
tution for the State of Georgia, and the
principal speakers, the old politicians,
seem disposed (o give their views con
cerning the rights any privileges of the
dear people, I submit the following re
flections for their consideration:
When “we, the people of the United
States,” ordained and established the
Constitution for the United States, in the
year of our Lord 1787, two Senators
were given to each State to represent its
sovereignty.
Among the attributes of that sover
eignty was the right of a State to resume
its separate existence as a sovereign
Slate, when, in its opinion, the original
compact had been violated to such an
extent, that a union with the others was
no longer desirable.
This right of secession was regarded
by the South as au essential of sover
eignty, and it was in exercising that
right that war happened between the
States.
The result of that war was a surrender
by the South of that right of secession.
So that now it is, when in the opinion of
a State the original compact, or the con
stitution, has been broken or violated.
The State has but the privilege of ap
pealing to the magnanimity of
those who broke it. In other
words, “State sovereignty” was
surrendered when the right of seces
sion was abandoned. It went when the
only positive remedy against broken faith
which a State possessed was allowed to
pass from it into the hands of the multi
tude, and “in a multitude of counsel there
is safety, but not for the patient.”
State sovereignty being gone, the Sen
ate which represented it should go with
it, or be remodeled. The States have
rights to be sure, under the constitution,
but how and by whom can they be en
forced when the majority violates them ?
or when a President, backed by a power
ful party, disregards them? The remedy
was formerly secession, now it is submis
sion.
Where then is State sovereignty ? It is
non-existant! and let us acknowledge it,
and try to model our institutions to con
form to the new order of events.
When Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated he
announced it as a Republican doctrine
that the State stood in the same relation
to the General Government that the
counties in the several States did to their
respective States, and that seems to be a
dogma of the Republican party to-day.
If the war made it so, let us accept it,
and proceed from that standpoint.
As the Senate is now composed, the
six New England States—viz.:
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Conuectieut, and Rhode
Island—whose interests are identical
and are the interests peculiar to manu
facturing communities, with a popula
tion which, according to the census of
1870, aggregated 3,487,724,had, and have,
a law-making power in the Senate equal
to that of New York—which then of itself
had nearly a million more of inhabitants
—of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois and Missouri combined, six great
States with boundless resources, and each
of which will probably in ten ysars have
a population equal to the whole of New
England.
And Colorado, with less than one hun
dred thousand population, equals New
York in the Senate.
What avails a majority of popular rep
resentation in the House, when each
State has the same power in the Senate,
when the wishes of the five millions of
people in New York can be defeated or
neutralized by the wish of the one hun -
dred thousand in Colorado ?
What great principle does Colorado, or
any other State of small population, rep
resent that its voice should be as potent
iu making laws as that of New York ?
Why should the energy of the great and
growing West and South be neutralized
by small German-like principalities in the
East, with her hereditary representatives ?
There is no justice in this. It is against
the spirit of the age, and the legitimate
results of the war are barred by its con
tinuance. .
Let a unit of representation be estab
lished as well for the Senate as the House
of Representatives. If New England has
twelve Senators, New York should have
at least fifteen, or make a population of
one million be the unit of representation
for a Senator; and if any State has not
that aqsount of population add that of
States adjoining until the number is ob
tained, and then the Senator would rep
resent several States, as the State Sena
tors represent several counties.
If it be objected to the plan that it never
could be established because the number
of States having less than a million ex
ceeds thosj having a million or more,
the answer is given by asking the ques
tion- “How were the fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments made a part of the
constitution?” Butin 1870 there were
fifteen States with over a million each of
population, and the number is constantly
increasing: Minnesota, Alabama, Missis
sippi and Texas probably have that
amount to day. And there can be no
reasonable doubt but that an appeal to the
people would result in the change being
made.
A West Hill man named Bodolph Kha-
new was arrested last night for slapping
his wife. We suppose he thought a
had a right to paddle his own Khanew.—
Barling ton Haw keg e.
ported that they had finished their work
and found that all the clerks now em
ployed were authorized by law, therefore
the committee would make no recommen
dation.
They reported six secretaries and
clerks in the Executive Department at a
cost of $10,600; three clerks in Comp-
troiler General’s office at an expense of
$4,800, and only one clerk in the Secre
tary of State’s office and one in the Treas
urer’s, at $1,600 per year each.
President Jenkins presented a memo
rial from Mr. Milbank, of New York, who
has a claim against Georgia, and another
memorial from Hon. Jere S. Black in re
gard to the Boorman-Johnston claim.
Both memorials were referred, without
being read, to the Committee of Final
Revision.
The order of the day was then taken
up, and Mr. Bass amended his amend
ment of yesterday in regard to fixing the
salary of the Governor, so that the two-
thirds vote increasing the salary shall be
by yeas and nays.
Judge Harrell also modified his amend
ment by striking out the words “specie
basis.”
Mr. Mynatt, of the Thirty-fifth district,
opened the debate in opposition to any
reduction of salaries, as he had heard no
complaint from the people that the pay
of public officers was too large.
Ex President T. J. Simmons, of the
Senate, defended the Legislature from
the reflections oast upon it by Gen. Wof
ford on yesterday, and was proceeding at
length, but Gen. Toombs raised a point of
order, and he concluded his remarks.
Hon. B. E. RusseU, of the Bainbridge
Democrat, made a brief but pungent and
timely appeal in favor of a reduction of
every salary, from the Governor down to
the lowest official, as the people had sent
delegates here for this purpose, and they
should not shrink from their duty.
Air. Ingram, of the Twenty-fourth dis
trict, gave notice that he should offer at
the proper time an amendment to fix the
Governor’s salary at $4,000 so long as be
has an Executive Mansion; if that is
sold, then the salary to be made $6,000,
without any emoluments or appropria’
tions of any kind.
Captain J. M. Guerard, of the First
district, expressed his confidence in the
people and the Legislatures which they
create, and was in favor of remitting the
question of salaries to the General As
sembly. He also advocated good salaries,
that good men might thereby be secured
as public officials.
Colonel Holcombe replied, in good
humor, that this was the most remark
able speech he ever heard. Where, he
asked, does the Legislature get its power
but from a convention of tho people ?
He, therefore, urged the members to be
true to the people who have sent-them
here to reduce and fix salaries.
Colonel Tift proposed to lay ail the
amendments on the table, and refer the
matter to the Committee on Finance.
He wanted to save every dollar possible
in salaries, and did not think the Legis
lature would accomplish that object as
well as the convention.
Judge Harrell said there was no right
more dangerous than to allow the Legis
lature to put its hand into the public
treasury at its pleasure. He favored a
wise restriction in the matter of fixing
salaries by the convention.
Colonel Robertson, of the Thirty-fifth
district, declared that he favored econo
my, and on that ground would call the
previous question,as the subject had^been
debated at length, but his call was not
sustained.
Rev. W. A. McDonald, of the Fifth
district, strongly advocated the reduction
and fixing of salaries by the convention
He was a member of the last Legisla
ture, and knew from observation and ex
perience that that body would not make
the desired changes. The people have
sent delegates here expressly to make
these reductions, and they should be
made in the new constitution.
Col. E. C. Greer, of the Twenty-first
district, said he had heard enough on the
subject, and didn’t think any more
speeches were needed. He called the
previous question, tut was voted down—
yeas. 65; nays, 121; and the debate oon
tinned.
Rev. D. B. Hamilton, of the Forty-
second district, an ex-member of the
Legislature ol two years ago, then made
the most logical, impressive and sensible
speech of the day. He declared that but
forty-seven true and noble men could be
found in that Legislature to advocate and
vote for reform. The people can find
relief only through this convention.
Judge Mathews, of the Thirtieth dis
trict, favored a wise economy, and desired
to secure a compromise between the two
contending factions on the question of
reductions.
Mr. Hunt, of the Twenty-second dis
trict, made tho most stirring speech of
the morning, and showed that the actual
salary and expenses of the Governor to
the people of the State amount to from
twelve to fifteen thousand dollars. He
proposed to give a living salary and cut
off all the perquisites and appropriations
above four thousand dollars per year. He
wanted the Governor to live in the same
style that the people live in, and favored
selling the Executive Mansion.
Mr. Dhvio, of the Tenth district,
thought the Governor was himself in
favor of retrenchment and reform, and
moved that the whole question of sala
ries be referred to the Committee on
Finance, but his motion was declared
not in order.
Elder Respass, of the Thirteenth dis
trict, called the previous question, and
after some discussion in regard to
amendments, the call was sustained.
The amendment of Judge Harrell was
laid on the table, and the amendment
of Mr. Biss was taken up and divided
into three parts: First, on fixing the
Governor’s salary at three thousand dol
lars per annum; second, authorizing the
Legislature, by a two-thirds vote, by yeas
and nays of both branches, to increase
that amount: third, providing that this
reduction ahall not affect the salary of
the present Governor during his term of
ofliee.
The third division was the amendment
offered by Gen. Eli Warren, and accepted
by Air. Bass. Each division was adopted
by a large vote, and the question of re-
duCiDg and fixing salaries, through the
constitution, was settled by a handsome
majority in favor of the measure.
The discussion was prolonged until
near the hour of adjournment, and was
listened to with deep interest by the gal
leries, packed in every part with specta
tors, who occasionally joined the conven
tion in applauding the patriotic remarks
of some member while advocating a
general reduction of salaries and the
expenses of the State government.
The third paragraph was next taken up
for consideration, and the Rev. T. G.
Underwood, of the Thirty-first district,
moved to strike out 1880 as the time for
the election of a Governor under the new
constitution, and insert 1877, but his
motion was voted down.
Hon. J. N. Mercier, of the Twenty-
ninth district, moved to amend so as to
read 1878, and his motion was seconded
by Colonel Holcombe, of the Thirty-ninth
district, in a brief speech. He favored an
entire cleaning out and a new start in
1878, under a constitution made by Geor
gians.
Hon. Pope Barrow, of the Twenty-
seventh district, opposed this, so far as
the Governor was concerned, as it would
be taken as a reflection upon the present
incumbent. The digoity and the good
name of the State would be injured by
such an act.
Gen. L. J. Gartrell, of Atlanta, who
has been unjustly accused of a desire to
tepjinto Gov. Colquitt’s shoes, settled the
question by a proposition to table the
amendment, which graceful motion was
carried by one hundred and nine yeas to
fifty-three nays.
It is but just to say that great credit is
due Gen. Gartrell for thus promptly put
ting himself right on the tenure of office
question. He has, thus far, been one of
the most efficient, patriotic and prudent
members of the convention, and many of
his measures have been adopted.
Hon. Paul Hudson, of the Twenty-
ninth district, wished to amend in regard
to the time of holding the election, so
that the Legislature shall be authorized
to change it if necessary, but ex-Attorney
General Hammond, of the Thirty-fifth
district, explained that this amendment
was faulty, and offered a substitute,which
was adopted, that the Legislature could,
if necessary, change the day, but not
the year of the election, which is to be
biennial.
Capt. Guerard, of the First district,
and Capt. Little, of the Twenty-fourth
district, suggested some grammatical
changes in the section, but the conven
tion didn’t deem them worthy of special
attention.
Hon. J. B. Twitty, of the Eighth dis
trict, wished to have the election on
Tuesday instead of Wednesday, and m
November instead of October, but was
voted down.
Col. Ingram, of Ihe Twenty-fourth dis
trict, moved to adjourn to four o’clock
p. m., but his motion was lost. Com
mittees have too much work yet on hand
for afternoon sessions of the convention.
The Secretary then read the fourth
section, but before any amendment could
be offered the hour of adjournment had
arrived, and the convention adjourned
to nine o’clock to-morrow morning,
having done a hard day’s work, as
they had nobly contended for
the one great object for which
the convention was called—to reduce and
fix salaries aDd abolish useless offices—
and won a glorious victory. Now let the
good work go on to the end of the list,
and the taxpayers be made happy as their
burdens are lifted by wise and prudent
constitutional provisions.
The delegation from the First district
is one of the ablest and best in the con
vention, and although Messrs. Russell,
Thompson, Keller and Smith do not make
speeches, they are faithful and hard
working committee men, and wise coun
sellors. Chatham.
CONDITION OF LOUISIANA.
Interview With Lieutenant (Governor
Wiltz—3Iornl, Physical and Financial
Condition—Prospects of the Htnte.
Lieutenant Governor Wiltz, of Louisi
ana, was met at the New York Hotel the
other evening by a Herald reporter, who
asked his opinion of the situation in
Louisiana.
“I don’t want to be interviewed just
yet,” said Mr. Wiltz. “I came North for
recreation.”
“Do you know anything about the in
dictment of Wells and others in regard to
the returning boards ?”
“Nothing at all. Those indictments
occurred just as I was leaving the city.
Therefore I knew very little about them.
So far as the finances of Louisiana are
concerned, they were never in a better
condition. When our State government
(Nicholls’) was recognized our State
bonds advanced rapidly from the fifties
to ninety-four, and toward par.”
“That was on account of the action of
President Ilayes ?’’
“No, I can't say that. If I go into the
consideration of the political aspect of
the occasion I may give more credit to
Mr. Hayes than he would be willing to
acknowledge. Hayes simply did his duty
in withdrawing the United States troops,
and we then relapsed into our normal
condition. When all our floating indebt
edness is funded we will have a debt in
the neighborhood of one million dollars,
upon which the State will have to pay
s-ven per cent, per annum. Iu order to
meet this indebtedness of the State we have
an assessment upon one million seven hun
dred thousand dollars, of which twenty
million dollars will be raised in the coun
try parishes, making a total assessment of
one hundred million and ninety thousand
dollars, the property of New Orleans be
ing already assessed at fourteen million
five hundred thousand dollars, a sum be
ing provided for under the constitution
for the payment of interest. Therefore
the interest will be surely met every six
months.”
“How is it, Governor, that the bonds
of Louisiana have depreciated after ad
vancing to ninety-four.”
“Because those who bought outside of
the State took advantage of high prices
and unloaded.”
“Having occupied so many prominent
positions, what are your views in regard
to the future of the States?”
“I consider our State a quiet State. We
want no more fighting, no more fussing,
no more confusion. The present govern
ment has the respect and confidence of
the people. There is no necessity for
any resort to arms.”
“What about the policy of President
Hayes?”
“I have nothing at all to say about it?”
The result of the interview was simply
this—that Louisiana is in a state of peace;
that it wants no more fighting; that its
laboring population are satisfied, and that
its financial condition is as good as many
other States in the Union.—New York
Herald.

THE
HORRORS OF THE ROUND
HOUSE.
What a Tea-Store Clerk Went Through—
The Firinc Upon the Crowd, aod the
Round-House as a Place of Refuse—
The Men Konstrd Out.
[Pittsburg Telegram in New York Herald.
The New York Herald correspondent
at Pittsburg telegraphs the following:
“‘Great God! preserve me from an
other such night as last night!’ said a
member of Company G, of the First Reg*
iment of Philadelphia, to your represen
tative to-day.
“The young man was a clerk in a whole
sale tea-house, and had left at home a wid
owed mother and a number of sisters de
pending upon him for support. He had
deserted the regiment when it had arriv
ed at the United States arsenal, and
secreted himself behind a great pile of
boards until the mob had left, then came
out and begged protection from Major
Buffington, the commandant of the arse
nal. He had thrown away his uniform
and appeared in citizens’ dress, and eager
ly plied me with questions as to how he
could get into the city, and what train
migh; he take which would carry him
safest and soonest home.
“ ‘I served in
THE WAE OF THE BEBELLION,
said he, ‘and have seen wild fighting, and
heard oftentimes the melancholy music
of whistling bullets, but the night of
terror such as last night I never experi
enced, and hope to God I never will
again. It was this way: We came into
Pittsburg, I must confess, bent on having
a littlo fight if any was going on.
We had little to eat, some sandwiches
and a tin cup of coffee, and at noon yes
terday we had some sort of nourishment
dealt out to us at the Union depot. When
we arrived at Pittsburg we were all in
good spirits, nevertheless, and responded
with alacrity to the command to move
out to Twenty-eighth street, where the
strikers had gathered in force. When
we arrived here, General Brinton, com
manding, formed us in front and rear on
the outside of a network of track at this
point, and stationed the Keystone Bat
tery, with its Gatling guns, in a little flat
plot on the hillside elevation, perhaps
ten feet above the level of the tracks. At
this moment the crowd began to scatter,
not in retreat, but apparently to
MAXE BOOM FOB THE MLLITABY.
“ ‘The First Regiment, when the
crowd began again to press the meD, was
ordered to charge, which they did with
fixed bayonets, and in this charge one of the
strikers is reported to have been wounded
by a bayonet thrust. The crowd now
began pelting us with stones, and some
of our men were hurt more or less. This
was the match that fired the train, and,
goaded to frenzy, either through fear ol
violence from the crowd or stung to des
peration by being hit with missiles, we
fired, and fire we did. Some say there
was no order given to fire, but one of the
guns in the hands of a member of Com
pany A went off. and others, mistaking
this for an order to fire, levelled their
pieces and discharged them. This may
be, but I heard distinctly the order to
fire, and did not discharge my piece until
such an order was given. The firing was
sudden and unexpected and seemed to
come upon the crowd like a stroke of
lightning, and it was scarcely realized
until here and there a man was seen to
fall. Along the brow of the hill ran a
deep ditch, into which those who had
enough pre‘ence of mind cast themselves.
After the first shot
THE TBOOPS FIBED IN EVERY DIBECTION.
“ ‘The first volley swept over the hill
side and was delivered hy those troops
nearest the hill. The second side of the
square was along the track, and the oth
ers, so far as could be ascertained, wheel
ed and fired down Twenty-eighth street.
“ ‘Before dark, when the dead and
wounded had been carried off and the
crowd got over the fright and commenc
ed to gather again in great numbers, we
were ordered into the round house, as
affording us a shelter for the night, and
better protection from the stray shots
heard every now and then. With the
approach of nightfall we got hungry and
tired, but were consoled in a measure by
the announcement that supper had been
ordered and would arrive in a brief time.
At dusk, peeping out of the windows of
the round house, we saw the wagons car
rying our rations captured by the crowd,
dishes and their contents hurled into the
street, while
THE CBOWD CHEERED LIKE DEMONS.
As the crowd in the street was augment
ed with the approach of night all
thoughts of sleep were given over, and
guards stationed at the windows of the
round house, and also placed at each cf
the gates leading into the yards. They
were out of the reach of the crowd, and
had instructions to fire upon persons
who attempted to enter.
“At midnight the crowd outside, as
we could observe from the windows, had
grown into many thousands, and shots
were fired at us from out of the yards of
the company in close proximity to the
round house. We replied to them, with
what effect we were unable to ascertain.
When tho fire was started in the box
cais we became very seriously alarmed.
Some few men, I have heard, made their
way out of their quarters ixi citizens’
clothes and escaped from their perilous
position. We could see loDg lines of
cars, one after the other, burning, but
dared not expose ourselves to the guns of
the mob.
“ ‘Suddenly down the grade came one
car after another, some laden with oil,
which was on fire and burning fiercely.
These cars were sent down in order that
they might ignite the wooden work of the
round house and the company’s lumber
yard. They were heavily ladened with
combustible material, and when the box
cars took fire they burst and scattered the
contents in every direction, dealing out
