ELMIRA^ BAZOO. VOL.1 ELMIRA,N. Y., JULY 17,1877. NO. 14 NEWS BOILED DOWN. MONTREAL , July i6.—An influential meeting of the St. Georg^e's Society this morning decid- ed to walk in the funeral procession in a body. Resolutions were passed condemning the Mayor for criminal negligence. Everything is quiet. Orangemen from, the country are coming in large numbers. The rowdy element is con- spicuous by its absence . The whole military force are ordered out as a precautionary meas- ure. The funeral procession formed with a de- tatchment of police at the head, the band fol- lowing, the drums beating a slow march. The Orange Young Britons, Montreai Carbineers, and Montreal Engineers, passed down the street and were loudly cheered by the Orangemen and spectators. The marching commenced, the Union Jack waving and a band playing the dead march. The hearse was drawn by four horses and decorated with Orange. A number in the procession bore Orange flags. The St. George, St. Andrews, Caledonian and other Protestant societies were well represented, with the exception of a slight fracas on St. James st., and the fil ing of two pistol shots just after the procession passed St. Andrews' Charch, every- thing was quiet and orderly. At the church was a very large congregation and the services were most impressive. It is feared that some had work will take place this evening. Montreal Orangemen will entertain their country brethren in the Rink to-night. The military are bivouc- ked along the road to the cemetery. As Point St. Charles was reached, contingent Orangemen, on the way to their homes in the western su- burbs, were met at Wellington Bridge by an im- mense crowd of the opposite party. The latter acted in a menacing manner. No attack how- ever. Youths who lagged somewhat behind the O rangemen came along and the crowd of roughs made an onslaught on them with revolvers. The boys ran, but one was shot down, one ball striking, his neck and another i n the back. He was taken to a hospital. The dastardly ruffans had a jubilee over the affair. The police soon arrived, but no arrests were made. It is said he will not live. The name of the young man is William Elliott, from Eenninville, Quebec, who came to attend the funeral. He is not expected to live till morning. His father is a wealthy man. BCIST®! BIY QBBBS 134 WSST WATIB ST., Will Be Found GREAT BARGAINS in all departments of DRY GOODS. Don't fail to call and see.
