OF RIOT.


The eastern seotio, Of the city known ~ Msckrei-
vile, particularly the neghborhood Of Avenus and
Twelfth street. ags;n thrown into stats oil az
Sitement yesterday afternoon and evening, IN oonse-
quencs of quarrel taking place between several clubs
Ct the Dead RABBIT" order, respectively known as
the Elevers, the Blues" the Atlantic Blues,
the "Folties7 or Forty Thieves" the Balls
Head Lights the "Adrstics," and the "Bowery
BOYS" The "Blues" appear 70 have no association
with sry of the other clubs unless il be the "Adrat
cs" respecting whom heard contradictory state
ments as regards their synpa.hies some alleging that
they were on hand TO assist the Blues and others
hat they were most friendly TO the Elevens III
msy be proper to remark that the latter supposed
10 derive their title from Eleventh street. in which
they principally reside and cOngregstel
As far as toe origin of the quarrel could be ascer-
tanned seems that about week ago the Blues went
target excursion, and were accompanied by john
Farrell the keeper of rum hole in Avenue Z, exten-
sivey patronized by the Eeyens Fores, and Biues'
| The circumstance of Farrell accompanying the Blues
created some Jealousy and the Blues were return
ing from their excursion they attacked BY the
| Forties at the corner of Avenue and Thirteenth
| street. The row. however subsidized without any
broken bones other serious damage either gang.
| Some days afterward some of the Blues and some
of the Elevens happened TO meet at Ferrells grog
shop when of the latter sung for the special hear
ing and beneit of the Blues, the song Of the Dead
Rabbits and the Bowery Boys, which proved rather
tpslaable to the Blues and as they left the room
they ade some offensive remarks in reference to the
song and singer, ard threatened what they would do
whereupon - Mulhollsnd, the leader of the E'evens
said that he would fight any which the Blues had
| got among them The Blues picked out one o keefe,
! her captain, to meet Muholsnd The latter &C
| knowltdeed that he was no match for keete, VINO
WAS too heavy man for him, and accordingly declined
| a pueiistc combat, and thus things remained quiet
until afternoon when Keefe and Others of
the Blues whose general rendezvous is at the
Of Avenue and Thirteenth street invaded the terri
tory of the Eevens and pushed of the Elevens off
the sidewalk and otherwise insued Of that club,
whereupon the Elevens rallied their forces and Fores
soon came to their aid but still fearing their strength
in combat with the Blues they started off in search Of
the Bulls Head Lights, who cOngregate around Gaff
news store at the corner of First avenue and Eight
eenth stree and about o'clock the gathering Of the
three clubs mastering about as many hundreds, pro-
| ceeded in sod body toward the rendezvous of he
Blues Some of the Seventeenth Ward police having
observed this body of lswess characters on the move
| and with the assistance of posse of officers
of the Eleventh Ward who in the neighborhood,
| they made the gang hst After short consultation
among Themselves they wheeled about and proceeded
| to Tompkin's square, from which runners were dis
patched to hunt up reenorcements among the Bowery
Boys. Their conversation having been overheard by
by.stander information of their intended movements
for making formidable attack upon the Blues was
given 10 the police of the Eleventh and Seventeenth
Wards at their headquarters; all the available force
of both Precincts instantly repaired to the disturbed
district and ust arrived in time to arrest the progress
of the allied arry of Elevens, Fortes, Bulls Head
| Lights and Bowery Boys, as they had reached the
| corer Of Avenue B and Twelfth street, within one
block Of the Blues who prepared to make desperate
resistance against an overwhelming force and had not
the police arrived at go opportune moment we feel
assured that would have been duty this morning
TO cod one of the most bloody riots that has yet
tab en- plat Elm this city.
At late hour last night the beligerent parties were
prkpg about and they expresse their determination 70
wage war to the knife, the very first opportunity they
could get, and which they hoped to get before
morning dawned, rs they were only waiting for the
Police 10 withdraw-the officers however, seemed TO
be fully aware of their movements, and consequently
not very Ekley to iUdalge them in their wishes.
The Police of the Eleventh and Seventeenth Wards
certainly deserve credit for the promptnes' and firm
ness they displayed on the occasion.
