Riot at Milwaukee rail office leads to arrests and mayoral injury
About 300 laborers on the Milwaukee and LaCrosse Railroad riot over unpaid wages. Rioters seized the company office, clashed with Sheriff’s deputies, and attacked Mayor Walker with a brick and shovel, injuring him but not preventing duties. Civilian defenders repelled the attack as rioters dispersed, with further disturbances reported later in the day. The scene closed without fatalities, though several individuals were wounded. Separately, Maurice O’Connell, eldest son of the Liberator and longtime Tralee representative, died suddenly likely from apoplexy after a brief illness.

Michigan Central Railroad gains show rising June travel
June returns for the Michigan Central Railroad reveal a notable increase in passengers and freight over June last year.

Gas light plans for Quincy are announced, and Southern Division track laying progresses with delivered ties and rails.
