| THE RIOT SUNDAY NIGHT
Mbl2 o'clock Sunday evening the spirit of dis
order broke out afresh in the hearts of tho Fiy
] Points. IT appears that some of the numerou
vagabonds and thieves that inast that locality he
| gan quarreling among themselves Blows wer,
| freely exchanged. and others running TO soc wha
was the matter. became infected with the helliger
ent spirit till there were some hundreds beatips
and knocking about each other with clubs The,
tore down portion of railing, and beat each 9th
er with great effect. Such close fighting however
didnot seem to agree with the most of them ant
m the course OF few moments they became seps
rated into two distinct bodice party retreatips
20 Centre street and Worth and the other party oc
cupying the square at Little Wstsr street The Oh
posing parties then took brickbats, paving stones
| and whatever they could lay their hands on snd
| threw them at each other injuring many very
badly. "+ -
During this crowd of at least 10 900 persons had
assembled in the vicinity, and the greatest excite
mert prevailed. A party of Williams, worse than
the rest up the stairs of tho house on tho north
east corner Of Centre and Worth streats and soon
| made their appearance upon tho roof. They pro
ceeded to demolish the chimney. and threw the
bricks down upon the crowi below Several men
| were terribly injured by them. They did not seem
| to be actnated by any enmity to any particular
party 0r persons. but threw their dangerous mis-.
1ies more to all appearance to CRAFTY desire to
lnjurs than anything else. In a short time they
got tired, or else alarmed for they suddenly disa
peared. In tho meantime the rioters below hal
not been idle. Showers of stoncs iarkened the air
and many who fell were carried into the neighbor-
ing houses. At last they came 10 freerms shots
were freely exchanged. and more than one will
doubtless rule tho spirit which led him to enter
upon the scene Of this disgraceful melee. The
scene was terrifying: men. women and children
were closely packed together and AZ the obt re ged
they fllei tho air with osths and irnprecations-
For while the spirit Of Pandemonism Itself seemed
let ioO~e. The men. and women too fought like
nend'; not Metropolitan was to be seen. and dis
order seemed to rule the day '-.@
