1 4 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1877" TWELVE PAGLS, Bharp, July 27, 1977, to be aworn In ns special police forthe protection of South Water and Market streets. IN GENERAL. THE REGULARS. TNE LAKE-FRONT GROUNDS, just south of the Exposition Buflding, present- ed an animated appearance last night. Instead of the clear, unbroken stretch of sod, there loomed up out of the darkness numbers of shite tents. Sounds almost unknown to tho average citizen freucd now and then from the midst of the aforesaid tents. Men in blue othes and brass buttons, and carry- ing weapons of warfare, marched up and down here and ~—there in regular order, Now and then they stopped, and occaslonally uttered the forbidding cry of Who foes there! Marta! musle, if the braying of all a dozen brazen-throated bugles can be s0 uesignated, was heard, and the entire aspect of the usually quiet park was changed. Crowds of curious men, boys, and women lined the stde- walks and street. Verily something unusual had happened. Inquiry would reveal the fact that the public place of resort for moon- * etruck Individuals (of both sexes) had been transformed into an army encampment. The scencs were siiflar to those seen about such a Wace of abude, and the sounds were the nolsca 'Faddent thereto, ‘The soldiers, “whose arrival \ was the chlef and only causcof the change, were ‘Tour compautes of \ ‘TH NINTIVINPANTRY, "U. 8. A., who have been ordered to this city by the President to quell’ the riotous proceedings which have characterized the events of the past Uirve days. ‘They reached the city about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon via the Chi- cago, Rock Island & Vacitle Railroad from Uinaba. ‘They would have arrived here carller by al hours bad ft not been for a delay ex perl din the morning at Rock Istand, It ‘seemed that the railroad ofllclals at that place desred.n strike of raflroad men, and slackened ‘the speed of the train, itt orderthatthe rezulara mint be present in case any disturbance was created. None occurred. The command numbers about 200 men under jMaj. Townsend, who fs now the ranking officer of all the regular troopa in the elty, and con- jsequently in command of them all. Tho men ‘are ALI, OLD SOLDIERS, “having seen service in the memorable Indian campaign iu which the gallant Custer and hits followers were maasacred, ‘They are a fine looking set of men and ure anxious to take o Hand ut the suppression of the clvie strife. As ther marched through the streets from the lave of thelr disembarkation—Twellth and Halsted strects—to thelr bivoune ground they ‘were loudly applauded the greater part of the way. Lluying been on post-duty for some months past they present a better ap pearance than thelr brethren who have Just returned from Indlan-hunting, and made their appearance {u this city. Their clothes are tore truthfully called uniforms, and are {u bet- ter condition. They are better armed, and, have ing paid more attention to the niceties of drill, fiupress the spectator with the idea of more thorough eoldiery. ‘There are many things of interest about the camp,—that ts, to une unaccustoined to it. The Little village of canvas tents arranged syste- imatically, the guards meandering about, the nen reclining here and there, the oflicers with their = Jaunty uniforms and = clinking swords, the quictness of the place, ‘he lights gllstentne dimly, the tattoo Dugle-call for roll-call; tape and every mun is supposed to be in bed and thelightain the tents are put out; the men wearied with the hard travel of the day ure glad to eink to rest, aud all Is stilness. Not a voice Ia heard, not a man stirs, ‘That's the way ft nppeared last night to a re- porter who visited the encampment. Further enforcements of reguturs will bo re- ceived tu-day, when three companies of eavaley end two companies of infantry are expected. Col. King, Colonel of the Ninth, {6 expected. Hic wit), upon his arrival, take cornmand of all the regular forces. ‘The six companies are 1, K, D, B, I, and ¥, Capt. Burt, Licut. Bowman,’ Capt. Fitzgerald, Lieut. Foote, Capt. Mears, and Lieut. Rocky- fellow, commanding, and Licuts. Palmer and Robertson of the stuil, FOUR MOB COMPANIES - of dust-staiued veterans, belonging to the ‘Twenty-kecond Infantry, arrived in the city about 2:30 o'clock yesterday alternoon by the Wiscunsin Division ot the Northweastera Kall- way. ‘They numbered in all 160 men, under the command of Muj. Clark, Capt. N. Houton, Lieut. Conway, and Lieut, smith. In looks they were quite similar te the two companies which marched through the streets the day be- tore, and their reception by the populace as ‘they marched along wae equally spontancous and genuine. This lot comes from the Black Hills country. They bad to march Sou iniles befure they arrived at Bismarck, the first rallroad poiut on thelr ine. ‘They laid over a few hours at Furt Lincoln, but, with that exception, came right through to this elty, and Were quartered with the other troops ut tho Exposition Bultding.

FIRST REGIMENT, STAKTING OUT, ‘The First Regiment formed in {ts armory at about 9 o'clock yesterday morning, with the Keneral understanding that there was to be a row before nlgbtfall, and that there would be o chance ter the boys to display tho result of three years’ orgunization aud diciptine, The iucmbers were exuberant over the tdea of quit- ‘Ung thelr tiresome quarters ip the armory, and having @ change of alr and scenery.

Notwithetanding the elurs, so unjust and un- called for, against the gallant First, the follow- ing facts will tell their uwn story: The last re- port showed a membership of 330, and there were 310 actual, bona-tile members turned out. yesterday, Icaving only twenty-nine members absent, and these could be accounted for, as they. were absent from thecity. Many, hearing of the disturbance, cut short their vacation, and hurried home to participate with thelr com- panies, As they parsed along State street and Michigan avenne more thay one was heard to exclaim, “There gocs the regulars!” “Don't they look like old vets?" ete. ‘There was not the slightest appearance of fright or nervous- ness exhibited, and Chicago prouder than cyer of her regiment, for the members showed abundant Frock: yesteriay that they could and would ht as well as look ‘ preety," and, strange to say, tot one of them exnibited any Intention whatever to “hand his musket to a Commune.” At8o'clock there oppeared tu be a brilliant prospect forthe command to blyowac {fn tho open alr, and all were cheerful. There were a great many gitts to the boys by the citizens during the day, Inctuding a barrel uf hot coffee by Ald, Kirk, with Plenty of sweet bread, three or four pails full of tobacco, and other articles of comfort. OUT FOR THE NtOnT. ‘The First Regiment remained in camp at the east approach to Twelfth street bridge until o few minutes after 10 o'clock Inst night, when orders were received to move into the West Side, with headquarters at the corner of Clinton and Twelfth streets, In accordance with inatrnctions,D and B Com- panica encamped for the time being adjacent to West Twelfth Street Turner-Hall; the cunsdli- dated Aand E Compunies, and Hl Company, stacked arms at the corner of Clinton and ‘Twellth atreets, and C and F companies were in readiness at Twelithstrect uridge. Shortly before marching the detachment was “revictualed with palatable hain sandwiches, cheese and lot coffee, of which the boys partook freely. They: were also aupplicd with double blankets, through the kindness and liberality of Field, Leiter & Co,, which tended to render the night's nap on the hard sidewalks more cmlurable. The boys were IN WIGH SPIntTs, and were anxious to give the people a practical Hlustration of thelr loyalty and reliability. Dire {ng the evening the time was passed pleasantly in’ chorus alnging, friendly converse, and in many other methods tendtig to make lite agrec- able. Taken asa whole, the citizens havé no reason to regret the formation uf a regiment of as gentlemanly fellows as compose the First, bout batf-past 7 o'clock Inat evening a large detachment of “yets were shipped on board a tug to the South Branch, and did patrol duty until a lato hour in the lumber district. AT NEADQUARTERS,. THR POLICE MEADQUAKTERS, yesterday were crowded frum snurning to night, and they were by far tho lest place to hear ru- mors, if not authentic news. Messengers wero arriving and leaving almost every minute, and when news was short a new-comer was sure to opportuncly arrive with fresh reports of theo niost startling character. The headquarters of the Veteran Club were immediately opposite the City-Hall, in the Grand Pacific, and a long string of idlers ornamented the dour and etalr- was, and gelzed cach new arrival and aqueezed him dry. By 10 o'clock it was reported that at least Mfty men had been killed, and that Captain Callahan and twu policemen were among the number, Then some ove came In and averred that the military were gutting the mob down with grape and canister. Evidently somebody had been looking through the magnifying glassesof fear. . About noon the two companies of regular troops, who had been quartered at the Grand Paciile, marched up to the City-Hall, aud fora fuw minutes were the observed of all observers,—nut the ting nicely dressed men the citizens are accustomed to see, but voatless, with no sign of a unitorm except thelr trousers. BUT THEY LOOKED PIauT. An ominous double row of shell cartridges tn thelr belts also gave token that they gent bualucss. And many a timid-looklug one breathed more freely os ho noticed their coul and business-like demeanor, They then went down tu the armory. where they remained walt- {ng for an occasion to try thelr metal, which happily did not come. From time to tlins squads of polive would come jn for o supply of ammunition, aud boxes un boxes Of cartridges were passed out of an {nnocent-louking roum dedicated usually to the base purpose of kecp- {ug stolen property, An additional telegraphle instrument and op- erator Were placed in the telegraph roum, to re- celve the various rumors. At about 1 olvlock in the afternoon Itwas eantidentially uolsed around that Capt. Hickey had acknowledged that he could not manayze the mob, aud bad turned the polles over to Gen, Torrence. An immediate inquiry at headquarters showed this was a cn nard. Gen, Torrence went over to Hulsted street to tho scenu of tha disturbance about ouon, and this probably gave rise tu the report that le had taken charge. Ile reported everything quiet. Capt. Gamble, who had made a tour of Halsted strect, came in about 1:39 and confirmed Gen. Torrence’s report, Ie rather slighted the whole matter, and satd that 100 men could have cleaned the whole mob out, About 3 o'clock three meu rode up hurriedly in a carriage, and reported that there was a d‘sturbance at the depot of the IMnut!s Central Railroad, A sTRONG FORCE was atoncesentdown, but they returned in Jess than an hour, bot and tired, finding that they had been sold. All the reports received concurred in pralsiug the police forthe manuer in which they had acted aud their success in keeping the mubin check. The Bovond Hegt- ment, which had been marching up and down alsted street, did good service tu Rueuliie onder. About 4 o'clock a dispatch was recelve thatwome boya had firedacur, and that the flames tad communicated to thu coal sheds of Kelley, Morley & Co, An alarm was turned in, but the wires were out of order, and the employes went to work and put out the Inciplent conflagration. About 7 o'clock at nlght on srrangement was proposed to have the milltary relieve the pollee, aud give the latter ehort rest. They have been on almost constant duty since Sunday, and many of them ara completely worn out. “Some when reporting atthe heagquarters for duty would sit dowa on the benches and algiost in- stantly fall asleep. About 100 epecial police for regular duty were eworn in, and, the supply of clubs having run out, were aorined with heavy hickory or ash spokes, obtained from a wagon factory, which formed a weapon not tu be despised. ‘Early in the cvenlug a detective reported that sumo strikers were totuect at Aurura Hull and con- vert measures for cupturitig some yoluuteers ot Jobnson's Btatlon, on West Chicago avenue. Word wus {uetantly seut to capture the would- be capturers, aud upset their ltule scheme, IN THR EVENING the excitement at headquarters, whichbad becn dylug down, took a new start. Mayor Heath, whe had. bad o bath wud supper, came back oud atayed all the evening. About 8 o'clock song of the Citizens’ Assuciation called on bio, and @ private cousultation waa had, the purport of which could nut be learned. About 9 o'clock it Was reported that the mob had tried to break Suto railroad cars at the corner of Nobty atrect aud Fox Place, but hud been repulsed. Soon after the pollee who had returned from Halsted street, uuimbering about tuirty, were ordered to Bo home and cet a onlyut's rest, sand linilar orders were fesucd to the stations, giviug the duty of taking cure of the city to the special policemen, Some time iu the evening two special policemen iy tront of 157 Archer uyenue were Ottacked by some strikers, but they retullated, and two of the strikers were ure rested, ulter Laving both been shut,—one lu tho arm, the other fo the hip. Gen. Torrence, late in the evening, reported everything quiet, aud that Capt. Lich’s com. wey eee quartered at the West Side Gas- orks. about 9 o'clock auexciting rumor Was made that the Second, Hewlinent had fred several volleys ou the mob wha terrible olfect, ‘fais was soun after con- firmed, but uo particulars could bo learued. Capt. Seavey fotends to arm bis men to-day aguln with wuskets, as the experiment ‘yeater- duy promised excellent success. At 10:43 another dispatch owas recelved that heavy fgiting was Folny, on ut Halsted street viaduct, and Cupt. Seavey asked for wagons to bring bis men up te the scene of action at une. Then news cue fust. Second Keyiment was forced back avross_the viaduct. When this was reported, Gea. Tore rence had y short conference lu the Mayor's rouiu, aud it was ayrecd to forward sume of the regulars, Soow alter a disputch was reculved that gue portion of the Second Regiment bad been tring ou auother company of ite own men, but it was nut ascertulued whether auy Were killed or injured. Theae dispatches, however, buppily proved untrue. About 13 o'clock w cuvalry ofilcer camo to headquarters and gave au account.

DECISIVE MEASURES, TNE MAYOR AND GEN, TORRENCE had a conference yesterday afternoon, and the conclusion they reached waa that firing over head to frighten the mobs and save the lives of innocent people is played out. In « crowd of 4,000 or 5,000, there are not over 200 or 800 people fnclined to create a riot, and to reach these bad men and boys it fa nocessary to shoot straight into the crowd, The, orders to this effect ‘were carried out tas? night, and the result was quite a number of lookers-on were wounded and six reported killed. Now, tho best wav to avold being shot fs to keep .away from the district where the rioters arc making thelr stand. If men, women, and children will go there, and are fired on, they must not complain if they are hurt. The militia and policemen wll do no more sham shuoting; to-day they will fire away at the crowd fn tront of them, among whom the roughs and thieves take positions to lessen their danger, Jetting the bullets hit whom they may. Therefore, mere curlosity- kuntors are advised to keep away. If the peo- ple'would all stay at home, the few Communists and the riff-ralf who are muking all this troauic can be cleaned ont in short order, A reporter who was in the fmmediate yicinity of all the day-light fAchts on South Halsted street, and saw about eversthing that occurred, noticed that the active participarts in the riot- ons acts were buys from 13 to 10 years of age. ‘There were very few men among ‘them. Ver few real workingmen ore engaged in this bus! ness, ‘They have more sense, knowlng what the result of ft will be {f the disorder continucs ctual starvation for themsclves niles. Already they are iceling the effects of the Wleorder, and will doubtless #oon sce that their only salvation Is tu take » hand in capturing the boys and young thictes, and efther killing them or turning them over to the police for punishment. TUE ARMORY, THEY WANT TO ont OUT. At the Harrison Street Statlon—the Armory —are quartered the Chicago veterans, the County Clerk's force of men, and Companies E and F of the Twenty-sccond United States In- fantry, besides the regular police of that ata- tion. The building was full all day with tho armed men and the mony visitors, but nothing important occurred, All the milltary came in the morning, the regulars occupying the court- room, ami the volunteer organizations the rest of the building. The regulars number scyenty- four men under Moj. Dickey ond Licuts, Cuatck and Casey. The men were Idle all day and were Impatient to be allowed to go out and take a hand in the fight. One of the ofll- cers asked a Thinuxe reporter why they were kept inso closely. The reporter replied that the authorities were afraid that some one might. get killed if the troups went out., “That's just what we want, ain’t iti"? said the man of gore. “You don't suppose we would go out for nothing do yout If we went out we would draw blood, or know the reason why.” The men were fed about noon, ond maintained o stato of masterly inactivity all the rest of tho day, until Messrs, Goldsmid and Roth- gerber—two characters well known to the fraternity whose financial stringoncies aro often relieved by visita to “thelr uncte!’—asct, up the cigars for the boys. ‘The “loan” was highly appreciated. About 6 o’clock'p. m. the soldiers returned to their temporary barracks at the Exposition Buitding, ‘The regulars were a curiosity to the visitors, and their weather-beaten and sturdy appearance excited much comment. ‘I'he scene was ware Uke indeed, Every mon was urraved cither in the potlcee toggery, with a rifle and accoutre- menta; with the arms of a cavalryman, or had an urly-looktng revolver swung abuut his walat, The troups were well provided for In THE MATTER OF FOOD, The "vets" were fod at the Matteson House. and Gen. Lich's corps got a dinner prepared for them in the station. Early In the afternoon the “yets"! were marched out, divided Into platoons or companies wd detailed for duty at different points supposed te be endangered and uu- Guarded. Company A went to the Phenix Dis- tillery on the North Branch, where they met a detachment of Ucn. Lieb's corps, most of whom are veterans, and all ot whoui are armed w.th the Remington Epringield tiles. The Lieb * returned to thelr station towards evening aud left the + vete” in charze of the distillery ani the bridge in the vicluity. They ré- ted that all was quiet. Compan: split Into two platoons = which went to the North and West Side pumping- worka, They sent back word that all wos let, Campany D was Baalgnedt to duty with jou. Bulton's two vicces of artillery. “Com- pany F went to the corner of Murgau ant ‘wentv-second streets, Whore they remained all the rest of the day. Cumpany E has been en- rolled, but the men were not armed yesterday in tine to take anv part in tho day's dotugs. TUR ANNOUNCEMENT OF TROULR in tho West Diviston lea Capt, O'Donnell to send a large force of his nen tu nssiat to keep order about Sixteenth and Halsted streets. They arrived tuo fate to do any of the shvoting but Ungered in the nelghberbood to be on hand and on time. Later In tho day three men drove to the station In a hack and in a great hurry, bearing the news that a riot of awiul proportions was raging was raging tu the vicinity of the depot of the Illinois Central Rullroad. “About furty men gulekly boarded the transportation wagons and hasten- cd to the ecena of tho reported trouble. They found abavlut-ly nothing to require their at- tention nor «yuu their preseuce, and so retraced their way. Li eeema that the game report had reached the Central Station, for asquad of about thirty men from there were sent to the same polnt to ad nothing. ‘They all grumbled con- siderably at being marched around uselosaly in tho broiling sun, and one of them very wisoly remarked that it might bo well for the heads of the force’ to use somo effort to ascertain the truthfulness of reports betore sending out men. Theinformant should be held till the correctness of hia toformation jad been tested, or tho bearer of news should be made to accompany the forces to point out the location of the disorderly proceedings, THE MANY DIJOINTRD REVONTS of the ecg ttord were @ suurce of amusement to the boys, whose only recreation during the af- ternoon was found lu observing the persons are Treated and confined {u tho cella below stairs, Abaut 8 o'clock two wagon-loads of rioters were brought ‘in from the West Twelfth street dis- trict, apd a hard-looking lot they were. The Armory police mada twenty-three arreate fn all, und the cells were pretty well Oiled The prisoners “tmade Rome howl” with thelr shouts andcurecs. The arrcata called out o Rood deal of comment, and thera were those who wondered why the poilce had not been instructed threy days ago to capture a man cach thine a rush" was made, Had each policeman taken in aman upon every such oc- casion, the ranks of the rioters would have been considerably thinned. ‘The fact {x the men who have neglected thelr various occupations to take up arms against 9 aca uf troubles are get- thuy weavy of wellaioing when they are aecum- Dishing no visible results, and want something: toastirthem up.

Onstating life business, tho re- porter was {nformed by ono of the coopers prea- ent that he did not know whether any reporters would be allowed tu attend the meeting; but, alter a short conaultation among them, the re- porter was informed that the meeting would be an orderly one, agd the coopera were doing nothing that they Were ashained of, and that there was no objection to a report of it be- ing printed, but the coopers did net want to be misrepresented, as they were taking peaceble ateps to secure their end. Mr. Laprisc, tha proprictor of tha shop, stated tothe writer that the dilliculty was caused by the competition of State Prison labor, which compelled manutacturers to sell at low prices, and hence pay low wag The mecting was organized by electing a Mr. Planter Chairman, and Mr. Allen Sccretary. ‘There wero probably about 100 coopers present, The meeting was an orderly one.
