A 1Ii4exnb1e Row at Alton.

From The AH13 EVuflcf. 43Ia.
Between teu and twelve O'Clock on Tuesday
night, the lower portion Of our city, known rs
lluntcrstown, was the scene Of ! cbiTayari riot
which caused quite an excitement1n that atusualIy
stand and sober region. The circumstances Of
the case arc, as near as We could ascertain, Us
follows:
Some two years ago, German, named Thiele.
came to this city, accompanied By woman who
was supposed to be his WIFE They have ever
since liycd together, aud have several children.
When be first came he protested extreme poy-
erty and destitution, and, for several months,
his family we're supported at the public expense
as oaupers. He then bought house and lot in
Hunterstown, for which be paid $500, and loan
ed out about $4,000 more on interest, which
money it has since been ascertained he brought
with him.
Official and reliable information has lately
been received to the effect that when be left
Europc, Thiele abandoned a wife (who has since
obtained 13;vorce) and two or three children,
and that the woni.u rho came With him, and
who lived with him here as his wife, ts his hd.
sisttr-tde daughter Of his gun Jatdtr.
Finding that they were discovered, the incest
nous couple endeayored to get married, ont no
clergyman or magistrate in Alton would per
form the ceremony. They went, few days ngo
to Missouri, and when they returned day OF
two since, it was reported that they had been
married while there. On Tuesday evening
some Of "the boys" concluded to trest the gull:
t. couple to chirayari, which they proceeded
to do rather no1s;ly-pelting the house W:f1l y,
stones. bricl-bats, and other missiles. Failing
to prevail on them to let him alone BY persua'
sions, threats or bribcs he endearored 10 fright
en- them By firing gun or pistol IN the ar
OF with blink cartridge, as is supposed, Tor Ut
damage was done. THIS only aggravated ths
assailants who assaulted the house more tiercel5
than ever-b1eaking in the windows: And ever
