used the deadly weapons. During the riot large
number Of pistol shots were fired by the Italians, but

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE OCCURRENCE.
About 10 O'Clock on Sunday night last serious riot
occurred between party OF Irishmen and Italians, at
n lager beer saloon, Of Third avenue and
Seventy-eighth street, kept by two Germans, named
Dyonysius Cakes and Joseph Gster which resulted in
one Of the rioters, Michael Callighan, an Irishman,
being killed, and three others, Michael Rourke, Pat
rick Tracy and - Burns being severely wounded
that but slight hopes entertained Of their recovery.
According to the best information that could be
gathered in relation to the aray, appears that there
had been q number Of foreigners, and women,
principally consisting of Italians with small sprinkl
ing of natives of the Emerald sle had been drinking
and dancing during the earlier part Of the evening
About II O'Clock Rourke asked for an Irish jig, which
was played for him. Several other tunes were subse-
quenty played at his request. While importunng the
musicians for Hail Columbia Rourke either acct
IDENTIFY or Intentionally staggered against woman.
The occurrence being considered by the Italians an
intentional insult some one of the party fell upon
Rourke aud knocked him down and stabbed him in the
head and Il general melee commenced bet seen the
Irish and Italians in which knives bludgeons and pis
tolls were freely used. Michael Calighan stabbed
in the thigh about half way between the knee and the
hip-iont from the effects of which wound he died
aiterward. His remains removed to the Nine
eenth Ward StationIouse, where an inquest is being
held upon them by Coroner Gamble Patrick Tracy was
also stabbed in tie thigh, and the wound will in all
probability, prove fatal. He was taken to Bellevue
Hospital for treatment.
Another Irishman. by the name of Burns, was
riousy if not fatally stabbed in the back. He was
Immediately removed by his friends to house in Bat
tie Row, in Third avenue, between Eghtieth and
Eighty-frst streets. Information of the riot having
been given to the police posse Of officers under the
command Of Sergeant Merrill repaired to the spot and
arrested the man alleged TO have stabbed Rourke, but
his friends rallied and succeededn eecng his rescue,
and placing the police in close quarters. Sergeant
Merrill however, made his escape and fastened to
the StationIouse for reGnforcements, when Sergeans

red to the scene of riot and bloodshed and arrested
fourteen Italians and two Germans, and conducted
them TO the Staton-House. While Sergeant Decker
was pursuing one of the Italians, by the name OF
Bell, the latter turned round upon his pnrsuer and
ATTEMPTED TO shoot him with doublebarreled pistol,
and was only prevented from accomplishing his pur-
pose by an expert movement the part OF the officer
/ gst t,roa Of he trnp
good their retreat to place in Joness Wood, were
arrested and locked up in the Station-House
For some time past the Police have been suspicious
that the lagerbeer saloon at which the faca occurred
was the resort Of burglars and thieves and an inspec
ton of the interior on Sunday night, while searching
for parties engaged in the riot confirmed the Police IN
their suspicious. The house accordingly LETT IN
charge Of posse of policemen for the balance OF the
night and yesterday morning thorough examination
of the premises made and resulted in the dscov
cry of the proceeds Of at least three recent burgares
in the upper par, of the city, consisting of silver and
| plated ware, blankets toweling, table covers, and
other property; also extensive variety of skeleton
keys, iimmys, nippers, saws, wax, and other impe-
meus used by burglars. In tie course of yesterday,
portion of the property found in the house was iden-
tilted a. having been stolen from the house OF AID.
McSpedon while that gentleman was attending the
/ Convention at syracuse. Anothef portion OF the
