Fourth avenue and Eighty sixth street, and
marched down to the residence of Postmaster
Wakeman, on Eighty sixth, between Fonrth
and Fixth avenues. Therioters were preceded
by about fifty boys, who clambered over the
fence, got inside, and proceeded very deliber-
ately to light fire on one Of the parlor floors.
The inmates had previously left.
AS soon as the fire was started, the main
body, yelling like demons, rushed through
every room in the house, carried away every
portable article on the premises, and what
could not be carried away was broken into the
smallest atoms. In less time than it has taken
to write this, the house was completely gutted
ond turned literally inside out The house was
now burr ming fearfully; the flames spread across
the street. and communicated with the Twen-
ty.thlrd street station -house.
sEYMoUR'S SPEECH AT THE CITY HALL.
Governor Seymour did not command the
mob to disperse: he merely s'implored them in
dainty phrase TO do him the kindness nos TO
continue these violent proceedings, and at his
SIDE, while he was speaking, stood the man
who had been encouraging the mob in an in
fammato~y address in front of the Tribune
buildings
The Governors remarks seemed to give great
satisfaction to the rioters.
