GARorlNC REVIVED.
The garoters, taking advantages of the
general turbulence, have commenced re-
viving their trade again, Two gentlemen
We're garoted and robbed in Second Ave
nue. near Fourteenth street, on Wednesday
evening, Some ladies sitting on balcony
of dwelling in that locality, hidden by
the foliage of the trees, overheard man
instructing two comrades how to proceed
in the business. First said he. you
must hit your man stiff blow under the
chin, and run then you (comrade No. p
must seize him by the shoulders from be-
hind, and blowing whistle, you (comrade
No. , must rush up and rife his pock-
cts If You will follow my directions,
continued he, we can make all the money

occurred, a gentleman came down the ave-

him with perfect success, the man being
left on the sidewalk nearly insensible from
the blow he received. His pocketbook

THE CITY RAILROADS..

ring the day, and large numbers of down
town residents and Brooklynites awaited
themselves of the renewed facilities O
travel to visit the scenes of the riots in thu
upper part of the city.

of having hand in the plumber. TIT
employees of the company, seeing the con

to some extent from the fact that the fon
Coroners of the city were uninterrupted

slain, with no prospect of the end of thei
labors being reached. Perhaps the humble
of killed may never be known. The hos
pitfalls are filed with those who have bee
wounded, and these are but a 1.-THE of tn
whole number
