NJ ,Lo.e who have taken grounds against the recent
crime. Of the citizens of Staten Island. About clock
a rabbe assembled il open piece OF ground at
s,enleton. with a drum and SIX grotcsque-looking
e.ices which a the labels Indicated. were supposed
IN the estimation Of the artist who designed them, 70
rsnresert various parties who had offended the peo-
nile by calling their acts by their right names
one attenuated man of straw with rope about his
neck and crowned with venerable white tie, was
labeled Jake La Forge. who Is one OF the residents
Of the island and who made an affidavit against certain
par+es engaged in the outrage. Another aoei was on
the breast on which was Inscribed the words: Jacob
La Forge. the traitor TO his friends Another figure
was labeled 4" Hon. j. +. RAYMOND another OF the
citizens who has testified against the incendiares.
third was labeled 80 The Editor of The Times, and
was a gross libel the personal appearance OF that
gentleman in giving to him proboscis of gigantic pro-
portons when il is physognomcal fact that his smell
ling apparatus is of microscopic dimensions rather than
otherwise The fourth efigy labeled = DIR. Thomp-
som" the lh Erastus Brooks; and a. the crowd was
composed largely of rishmen they vented their indig-
nation against him for bis KnowNothng proclivities
a. well by representing him as ugly a. possible The
sixth was designed to represent lady. Awhte sun
bonnet was on the head, and calico dress with long
skirt covered the hypothetical extremites, and the
whole was innocent of any suspicion OF crnoline Tn
the lab,l were Inscribed the words, The Editress OF
the Stoots-Zeifung."
These Gpures were exhibited for some time to the adj
miraton of the rabbe, the scene being Illuminated by
the glare OF torch-ights. Loud cheers and outlaws
were frequently heard. The crowd being satisfied,
Tom Garrett one of the chief lncendiares, called
upon them 10 form in procession and proceed to Temp
kin.yiIle. The order was obeyed. and, preceded by
the drum. they marched up the road in a confused pro-
cession On their way they cheered and enconr-
accd bv fine plaudi.s of citizens and ladies' who
svnnathise with the arsons and fragrant outrages of
last week In front of Muers lager beer saloon the
proprietor being leading spirit among the Germans
participating in the crime the procession stopped and
gave prolonged choe. They proceeded thence to the
bar-room of Burnss Hotel and there put the eligies
through varous pugistc exercises one with another
and the crowd Joined in the spirit Of the OCCASION
howl e and yelling like chaos Of demdevs.
Leaving Burns they proceeded to the open space
in front of Joness Hotel, where a tar-barel was
lighted. The crowd now numbered several hundred,
and the light from the burning tar heightened the melo
dramatic character of the scene, which with the
torches ofges the yells the pistol shots fireworks
the swaying backward and forward of the crowd amid
the surrounding darkness looked as if pandemonium
had broken loose. The procession returned to Staple
ton in the same disorder that they approached There
the efiigies were burned in such cases made and
provided. except that of Mr.. La Forge, which was
merci(ulIy allowed to be hanged, probably that the
clothing might be available for the rag man and the
body for kindng fires and stuiiing straw bed.
But within the Quarantine walls the scene was
different No intimaton of the intended demonstration
had been received by the police. Forty additional
men. armed with volcanic repeating rifles, had ar
rived on the ground, making force OF 100 men within
the walls beside the 81 marines from the Sabine at
the Government dock and 60 Harbor Police in their
boats. The Second Company, composed of 80 men,
under Sergeant Preston had gone on duty as sentres
about the walls. Sergeant Lushs Company of 30 men
had turned in to therte The reeuforcements how
ever. had not retired.
Tie pistol shots and drum of the rabble were heard
,s they approached the village, and the order was
giyen at once by Capt. Waing for all to fall into
ranks Within FIVE minutes the force was distributed.
Sergeant Lush had left with his Company, which he
nos,ed IN the side of the hill descending from the
south side of the ruins of the st. Nicholas and which
nco,ure where there only picket fence to pre-
ven, an entrance. Sergeant Preston's command was
stationed along the wall. The howitzer was wheeled
., within few rod. of the gate and back OF il was
the reinforcement of forty men, under Sergeant Major
Waterbury and Sergeant Dixon. The men were thus
| posted until the crowd departed
But an acce .sion was made to the force. When the

first officer of the vessel ordered two of the cutters to

and cutasses and taking with them twelve additional
marines they pulled for the shore, after firing rocket
from the deck in answer to what was supposed To be-
! the signal from the Quarantine. They remained ashore
until II clock when the retired and the sailors
returned the Sabine after receiving the ho7ptahie'

Ii is hardly probable that any violent demonstration
was intended but the aggregation Of numbers had the
,sect to arouse the enthusiasm OF the crowd, ana Il
only needed the presence Of leaders to have induceu
the crowd to again rush INTO the grounds and attempt
to fire the new frame buildings that have been erece
for hospital purposes But the presence OF powerful
military force. well armed, dempened the lnceh-
diary ardor of the leaders who will probably postpone
! the execution OF their criminal intentions until the
