WADE A RUSH Saturday Night. SIX WERE ARRESTED ATTEMPTED TO STORM GRAND OPERA HOUSE And When Ordered Away, Attack- " éd Police With Sticks, Stones and Eggs--Both Students and Police Received Rough Treat- ment in Melee--Damage at the Opera. House, . Queen's students made their 'usual rush on Princess street Satiirday night, following the Alma Mater Society elec- tions, and it resulted in one of the liveliest rows which ever occurred in the city. The students clashed with the police, and before quietness had been restored, six students were taken. to the lockup. I'hey "spent the night.in the cells, and were allowed out on bail, at Sunday noon. The gy disgraceful affair was brought about when the students at- tempted to storm the Grand Operd House, where "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was being produced, and where they were refused free admission. . It is estimated that the students num- bered about three hundred, when they came down Princess street, giving the college yell. They attracted a large crowd of optsiders, and after parading around for a short time, they congre- gated in front of the opera Mouse and there made a rush to go in. They were informed by Manager Branigan that they would have to buy their tickets, the same as other people, and that there stables.' On the way, Constable Craig was struck on the head with a good- sized boulder, which made his head swi for a few minutes. = Constable Arniel and Filson came down Princess street to King with their man, and the other constables went around onto Welli and Brock streets, a crowd following up each way. Ar the market square the two crowds met, and it was here that the fiercest patt of the whole battle oc curred. The students rushed at the officers and attempted to free their colleagues, Several citizens turned in to help the police, and there was a regular free fight for a time. Constables Dris- coll and Davies were given some ha knocks, but gallantly kept hold of their prisoners. Pe Nesbitt, who was on duty in the station, came out to render assistance to his brother officers, when he was set upon by a gang and roughly handled. The scene on 'the market square was another most disgraceful one, and in the melee tators, as well as students and 'policemen, received some rough usage. It is nothing more than a miracle that some of the con- stables e: with their lives. When the constables finally got their men to the police station door, the:crowd dis- persed, and the students under arrest, were soon'in the cells, after-théir names had beeni secured. It was a late hour before the streets were cleared, many réfhaining around to gossip, and to see if there would be any further trouble. After the battle, the police collected a large number of sticks and stones which. had been used by the students. A: large number had secured axe- handles at a local store, and these they carried home with them, evidently 'for: souvenirs. 7s As the whale affair occurred in the centre of the city, -a big sensation was the result, and during the progress of the row, business was -practically at a standstill. The stores were deserted. A boy who was walking along Prin- cess street, at the time of the row, was struck in the face, with a stone, and was taken into Mahood's drug store, where his injuries were dressed. Several of the stores near the opera house, also received a share of the stale eggs, thrown by the students , the front windows being decorated.

The walls and floor were lit- erally covered with broken eggs, and several women had their clothing soiled. The main entrance presented a sorrowful appearance, in daylight, and yesterday, was the subject of much comment. An effort was made on Saturday night, to get the students out on bail, but with no success. Bail was ac- cepted at noon Sunday. One of the six was given his liberty in the forenoon, as. it was found that he had taken no real hand in the assault on the police, although he had given them a great amount. of trouble with his tongue. The - charge = registered against the students, was that of being disorderly on - Princess . street, Saturday night. would be no free admission. . Then there was trouble. The students swarmed into the corridor of the theatre, and endeavored to push their way into theatre. The doors were locked, wever, and then pandemonium reign- ed.

By this time, the students were wild, and in the excitement the glass in the doors. was smashed, and. the brass railing in front of the ticket office was removed from its place. Inside the theatre, the crashing of glass could 'be heard, and the. ushers made a rush to. close the. exits on the other side of-the house, to save further attack, The audience became alarmed, but made no excitement, and while the students continued. their attack at the main entrance, the play continued with- | out any delay whatever.

'Lhere was one student who managed to slip up the stairway to the gallery, but he was soon hustled out, but not before there was a free fight, which caused a great deal of comniotion. When the students were moved out on' the street, the police did everything in their power to get them to move along quietly "and not create trouble.

They did not stop at eggs, but also loaded up with stones, axe-nandles, sticks and clubs of all sorts, and apples were also brought into ser- vice. Then commenced an attack upon the police constables upor the street, The bluecoats on the scene included constables Naylon, Bateson, Timmer- man, Filson, Driscoll; Arneil, McAdoo, Taylor, Mullinger, Craig and Davies, and it was impossible for them to dodge all the things which came their way. The eggs, and some pf them were very stale, were thrown in all directions, and soon nearly all the policemen were deco- rated. Several people passing 'were also struck with eggs. i The situation became worse all the time, and the police, having done all in their power to bring about peace, could plainly see that strong steps would have to be taken, and Magistrate Farrell, who was informed of the circumstances, t r ) ) FIRE | There are cares enough in / i over.

Eight policemen against a {crowd of about: three hundred, was a ' | great proposition for the law, however, but the constables fought bravely, and are deserving of great. credit. Matters did not quiet down when the order came to arrest the ringleaders, but on the other hand, became far worse. Eggs continued to fly, with more stones... A lady passing, very richly dressed, wag struck with eggs and her dress was ruined. . At this stage, the police drew their '1hatans, and Constable 'Filson succeeded pens, and Constable Filson succeeded cadersy~and Constable Arniel arrested him. The crowd surged around the constables, and Constable Filson was struck in the back with a club and con- stable Arniel was jostled. The other constables soon had five in custody, and then the start was made for the lock- up. The stone-throwing was continued all the way to the station, but the' crowd weakened after these arrests, and made no attempt to molest the con~ u Quick Cure For Neuralgia. ing, over three hundred students gather- ed around the door, waiting to gain en- trance, but they were not admitted, and had to content themselves with waiting around outside. 'Some climbed up to the windows, and in this way managed to get a péep at the proceedings. They: be- came very boisterous, however, and the magistrate had to give orders to have them removed from the window, and a couple of bluecoats put them away. They stayed out on the market square until the cases were congluded. Francis King appeared for them, and in the case of hve, entered a plea of guilty, a plea of "not guilty" being given in the other case, in which evidence was taken. Mr. King said he would enter a plea of guilty, but in doing so, he wished to express exactly what he meant by that, so that he would not be misunderstood. He wished to say that the men arrested represented the student body, and they would plead guilty on behalf of that body, though not taking the blame by any means for all the damage done. The student body as a whole, condemned th~ conduct of the students, and would take action to see that no such a dis- turbance would occur again. In carry- ing out the law, the fact was recognized that the police would have to, take such action as they did, and it was held that the students had no more right than any other person to engage in such rowdyism. The authorities would .in no way uphold such conduct. When the police were doing their best to quiet such a crowd, it was often the case, that a person who was not by any means one of the principal offenders, would be takeén in charge, while the main ringleaders would be allowed to go. Lhe speaker said that he felt sure that this was the case, and felt just as satis- fied that it applied to the present case, as it did in the-year 1887, when he him- self stood before the police station, and himself felt very angry, when he knew that 'some of his fellow students were locked up inside, when he knew that they were not the ones who should be blamed. By pleading guilty, the ac- cused represented the student body, which would see that all the damage in- curred, would be paid for. A meeting of the students Jf the university had been called for this afternoon, -at five o'clock, at which ation would be taken in the present case, and something done to prevent any reoccurrence of such a disturbance in the future. > Mr King contended that" it would not felt that he could safely say, that nine- tenths of the student body condemned what had 'been done. There was no one person who wished to hurt the good nawne Queen's University enjoyed at the present time. He would ask that if the charge could not be withdrawn, that there be no sentence imposed. Magistrate Farrell said that he agreed with Mr. King, in regard to what tuc latter had stated about there being some students who had probably been more involved than those placed under arrest.
