ing good their escape from the park into
avenue A, battling with the crowd.
AYouNe LADY INJURED.
Once into the avenue, they headed im-
mediately for Eight street, or 81. Marks
place, thinking thereby TO pass on unmo-
Tested. A young lady who CHANGED to be
passing by the corner of avenue A and st.
Marks place, opposite Messrs. Stearns d
Marvin's Iron safe mandatory, at the
time, was rushed against the iron railing IN
front of the factory, where she was held
firmly BY the iabble for few seconds be-
fore she could escape. Some of the party,
however, seeing her condition, forced the
crowd back and released her, although not
until she had been considerably injured.
THE CHASE CONTINUED.
After making temporary halt in Eight
street, near avenue A, for the purpose OF
trying to reason with the crowd, the musi-
clans once more attempted to effect their
release, but finding that the rowdies were
determined to follow and annoy them, they
were, however, again foiled, for no sooner
had they struck into running pace than the
rabble, initiating their example, soon pass
ed and again surrounded them. Arriving
at about the middle of the block, and find
ing that there was no other hope left them
than to seek refuge in some of the houses
in the vicinity, one of the number named
Jules Lemoine, of 13s Reade street, imme-
diately lodged in front the way offs large
house, whittier he was soon followed by a
portion of the crowd, while the remainder
outside in the street watched for his reap
pearance, and shouting to their comrades
to bring him out. The other members of
the band were apparently lost sight of for
the moment in the anxity of the crowd to
recapture this one man, which seeing, they
Mt once took advantage of and made good
their escape down First avenue and through
Seventh street. The unfortunate and now
lonely musician was soon taken charge of
by a gentleman, who, seeing his dilemma,
pushed through the crowd to his assistance,
and marched from the area and eighth
street to First avenue, followed by and
amid jeers and SCOTS of the rabble. The
gentleman with his captive, arm in arm.
and followed closely by the crowd, passed
thro' First avenue to Ninth street, thence
to Second avenue and down Second avenue
to opposite the Mayors house, No. 122,
where temporary halt was made by the
musician and his friend, in consequence of
the crowd demanding that he should play
for the Mayor, which he assured them he
could not, as his instrument had been bro
ken and he was out of wind. Meanwhile the
crowd proceeded to propose and give three
cheers for Mayer Wood and the Democrat
ic party. While this compliment was be-
ing paid the Mayor the musician with his
captor walked on rapidly down the avenue.
TIE crowd Immediately started after, but
after proceeding short distance, as if by
mutual consent, turned back, gave the
Mayor three more cheers, and then retrac-
ed their steps to Tompkins square, meeting
as they did so posse of some thirty or
forty policemen under command of Inspec-
tor Hartt, of the Seventeenth ward, who
were standing on the sidewalk corner of
Ninth street and First avenue. These the
crowd passed with groans and jeers, taking
up their position on the opposite corner Of
the street, and facing the police. One of
our reporters advanced to Capt. Hartt,
and, in a civil manner, said to him:
"Good morning Captain. What's out!"
Captain Hartt (apparently greatly excit-
ed and very gruf1y)-"This is no place to
talk, " and retreating few steps, "Fall in,
men-file, left march,
This order WAS speedily obeyed by the
men, and who were marched off down
First avenne, away from tue crowd, who
thereupon gave them three groans, and re-
turned to the square to again join the
meeting.
