At the @ommuicncneus of the lite troubles this com ie pany had thelrarms taken from them by orders Of Gen, Torrence, who was acting under ordere of Gen. Ducat. The men elated last night that In being disarmed they had been snubbed. ‘Thee had been enlisted nx regular State guards, and’as stich were entitled to a show of contl- dence. Their speakers heldthat they werc loyal to the State, and as much friends of Taw and order as any other nationalit®.

CITIZEN 'TESSMAN, NOW 12 WAS KILLED AT THE MALSTED STREET VIADUCT NIOT. ‘Theinqnest on the body of Charles Tessinann, which was bequn Jiwy 27 and adjourned, was coucluded yesterday afternoon at the Harrison Strect Police Station. The case had special pub- Ne interest from the fact that the relatives and friends of the deceased had been very energetic in thelr attempts tuconvince the public that Weceased was wrongfully killed by the police, and that they had flooded the German papers with what seem to have been malicious ties aboutthe causcof deccascd's death. They began this conrse of procedure in the very funeral no- ters, and have since done their best to atir up public opinion by utterly lawless and unprinci- pled appeals to the Germans, based on their as sertion that Teaamnan was inurdered by the po- Mee ot Turnes-Hall, Inetead of properly and justifiably killod while leading an assault on the police st Sixteenth street viaduct. The fact that, after all the row, and fuss, and appeals, acd hunt for witnesses, thoy coujd not produce eveu one inan who saw witness at Turner-Hall that day ts quite proof enough that the police arc perfectly correct in thelr theory, and that the attompt.to sct the deceased Tesamann up og an himocent man Is the wildest foalishness, if not woree. The nt- tempt to prejudice public opinion in the Ger- tan papers has been maliclous and cowardly in the extreme, Yesterday's Inquest was held by Deputy- Coroner Korn, and a considerable number of people were present, The firat witness was 1. ‘Tessman, brother of deceased, who knew noth- ing about the matter whatever; he liad not seen his brother for abont twelve hours beforo he wag shot. At tha conclusion of the testi- mouy the Coroneé? stated that thers were abso- Intely no other witnesses from. the: family or friends of deceascd, Appeals had beon made through the newspapers, but no witnesses bad come forward, 2 s Dr. Gustave Fisher, of No, 307 West Twelfth strect, saw Tesamann brought to the station in a baker's wagon; the driver ssid he brought Im from Sixteenth street viaduct on Halsted. A special policen named Shanley was brought in at the same time; he was hurt with achalrin Turner-Hall. Shanley, betug present, was identitled by the witness, Thomas Traynor, Police Officer No. that about-10 o'clock on the morning o! 26 ho found Tersmann badly wounded but allve on the north approach to the viaduct; he had a revolver, with two chambers unloaded, in hig hand; a man in Capt. Fisher's cavalry com- pany had the pistol; saw ‘Teesmann fall a few moments before he was picked up. OMicer Jolin Butler, star No. 240, saw tho wore ody, and helped ‘Traynor get a wagon. and put the man In it; it was lying on tho south side of the viaduct. Oflicer James Boller, star 178, saw the de- ceased when he fell with the revolver tn bls hand; was about sixty feet off;. decensed was coming along with bis pata leveled ot the of- ficers; he was a kind of leader of the mob which were churging on the police. Officer Tim Ryan, star 24, testified as to the fuss at the Weat Ufwelfth ‘street. Turner-Hall. Nobody was killed thero that he beard of. Officer Johu G, Davis, stur 170, was on tho yinduct the morning of the 43th; saw Tesamann at the head of the mob; lstinctly saw bhn fire two or three shots at the officers; then saw blin stayger and fall; went to the station afterward ond fdentified Tessmann as theman he saw level his pistol and fire at the officers. Patrick Shontes, the spectal pollecman who was wounded at Turner-Hall, thought that no one was killed or seriously Injured there In the row of duly 20. ‘Tho Morgue kesper swore to the recolpt of Tesemann’s txxty. . LIZUT. CALLATAN made a short statement to the effect that the nilstuke of ‘Tesanann’s friends a8 to where ho was shot secined to Lave grown out of the fact that Officer Shauley came from ‘Turner-flall about the same time thut tho body was brought froin the viaduct, aud that both were in the station together. The jury retired and brought in the following verdict: ‘Thia jury finda from the evidence that Charles Tessmann, deceased, came to bia death frum a pistol-ahot wound lnflicted by a person unknown to this Jury, and that this occurred during the sup: preeston of the riot by the pulies on or near the Halsted street viaduet on the 24th day of duly, It was the wish of a part of the jury that the verdict should state that ‘Tesemani was tho leader of tho rioters, but It was thought that: the story ntout the ‘Tarner-Hall killing was suficiently put down by clearly stating where and under what creumatances the killing really took place. ‘The case of James Phillips, she young boy who was found dead on the viaduct with a pistol and ammunition on his person, was considercd. by the jury, und the same yerulet rendered asin the caso of Tessimaun, THE OFF-SHORE NOSPITAL, A PLAN FOR ENLANGING THE SCOPE OF THAT HUMANE ENTEUPIISE, Those of Chicago's generous peuple who have contributed to the support of the Floating Hos- pital should not discontinue their ald during the hot and trying month of Auguet.

At a meeting of the friends of the Second Regiment held at the Grand Pacific Hotel Thurs- flay evening, {t was resolved to ask the First Regiment to unite with {t in collecting money tomore fully equip both regiments and raire them to a higher standard of cMciency, The conference was had yesterday, and resulted Ino sort of an ngrecment to disagree, or, rather, on understanding that it was for the best intercsts of both organizations to proceed scparntely, The Second was willing to pool, but the First fd not think {t worth white, The reason which prompted the ollicers of the First to make this decision are understood to be that the First hus. already some money ou hand and fs out of debt, while phe Second still owes seine considerable amount. Itdid not seem tothe First that It woul t he proper for them to Jol {neollecting tinay olf the Seconti’s debt before 4 diviston of the re- sults was mide.
