Disgracetul Riot--Last night, about 8 clock,
Captain Enemyer, Of the canal boat ]. r.. An
nan, was wantonly assaulted and shamefully
beaten by crowd of rowdies while assisting
his tow-boy to conduct his horses under the
Aqueduct bridge. The boy escaped, and soon
brought Captain James Moore, of the boat
Mountain Ranger, to the relief of Captain
Enemyer. The crowd made fierce attack upon
Captain Moore, but he forthwith knocked one of
them down with his fist, another with stone
handed him by the boy, and shot a third (Jas.

gun, which had been brought to him from his
boat. Captain Enemyer had, when first at
