A LIVELY NIsHr IN THE FIRST WARD-Last
Monday night there seems 10 have been a sort of
oaceoanalan festival In the vicinity Of the stock
yards and stables In the First Ward, or rather
pandemonium broke loose. Residents in the
neishborhood say there was a constant fusilade
going on all night long, and occasional cries OF
After diligent investigation we gathered a few
OF the incidents Of the night to give our readers
an idea Of the sort Of sport going on at the est
End on the night In question.
In the first place, there was ball at house on
Twenty second street, or what the frequenters of
such dance would call a "shin-dig,' - at which
Interesting place Of entertainment a number of
whites and negroes fraternixed in a manner
which would delight the heart Of an amalgama-
ZIONIST Too much noise was made here to suit
the strict military ideas Of portion of the provost
guard, and they knocked for admittance As an
answer 10 the demand, they Were fred upon
through the closed door, when they promptly
forced an entrance and arrested a number Of
the parties IL was reported that a man and
woman had been wounded by a volley from
the guard, but we have not been able to verify
the rumor. As for the other particulars, bullet
hole through q panel Of the door, visible this
morning, and is general debilitated condition
testify strongly as to their verify.
Tae next trouble in the locality was caused by
the marriage Of one Of the young men who was
employed In the neighborhood. He forgot or ne
elected 20 invite some Of his old time acouaint-
ances and fellow-workmen to witness the cere-
mony, when they invited themselves, but found
the door closed upon them. Pine doors are not
considered much in the way Of obstruction in that
part Of the town, and this yielded to the argu.
ments brought to bear on 1t, and row was the
result.
About O'Clock, loud cries Of murder proceeded
from house occupied by a colored woman and
when the watchmen proceeded to the spot they
found an old colored woman at the door, en- dis
habtIls, with dilated eyes and " hair on eend !"
something like George Christy's In the "Phsntom
Chorus" scene. As soon as the watchmen could
quiet her, she Informed them that some soldiers
had hred through her door; and she pointed in
Tragic style TO an orince therein, which gave evil
dence Of the fact.
There were q number Of vulgar brawls and
