POLICE FIRED THE FIRST SHOT—AN ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF BISHOP MC- DONALD—THE EXCITEMENT STILL FEARFUL. On the the 3lst an express from Harbor Grace brought a written despatch to St. John’s, coutaining an authentic account of the Harbor Grace affray, and differing materially from the telegraphed report. It states that the Orange Association walked out on St. Stephen’s day and reached the branch road near Paddy McArthur’s house, where they were met by the Riverhead men, all Roman Catholics. The Catholics were ranged along with pickets and at this time showed no other weapons. They called on the orangemen to stop and not cross the bridge or they would repent it. The orangemen paused and struck up ‘THE BATTLE OF THE BOYNE,’ whereupon the mob rushed forward. Head constable Doyle ordered them baek, but they did not heed him, whereupon he drew a revolver and shot Callahan. Then rose a cry ‘‘all hauds look out!’ The rattle of a volley of sealing guns was heard at once, and a score of dead and wounded lay bleed- Artemas Lord calls for tenders for the | ing on the ground, The Orangemen fled like sheep, they tore off their scarf and | left iheir banners ane flags behind them. | Darmody tore up their flags in shreds and | planted the green flag on the spot.
