Late last night as services were
being held in the Colored Church
Mission, where revival is in progress.
disturbance arose between portion
of the persons attending there. Off
eer LawleT, of she Seventh Precinct,
ordered the rioters to disperse. lie
was resisted, however, and Officer
Brown. of the same precinct, came to
his assistance. AS the officers were
attempting to arrest some of the most
notorious of the ruffians, they were sud
denly set upon by the gang of rufians.
Their weapons were taken away, a1d
they were fearfully beaten. Some
held the officers while the others beat
them with clubs and stones; others
again inflicting severe gasbes with
knives or razoTs. Officer Browns
head was cut in several places, his
Jaw broken, and the Injuries on other
portions OF his body are so severe
that his recovery is doubtful. Officer
LAWYERS injuries are very severe.
AS soon as the news of the riot
reached the police station, the whole
force ef the precinct was ordered out,
but on their arrival at the Church,
the rioters had dispersed. -Four of
the rioters have been arrested, aud
six or eight moro are known to th c
police.
Commodore Higgins and Surgeon
McNulty arrived to-day from Viii
mington, N. c., on their way to New
! York. The Surgeon contradicts a
statement which has been published
to the detriment of Higgins. The
| facts are, that, before leaving Mon
tauk Point, Higgins was severe y
injured in one Of his eyes by the part
/ ing Of the hawser, and when he
reached Wilmington was suffering
from the effects of the accident. The
Surgeon suggested that Higgins 5 wife
should be sent for to attend him.
She was telegraphed to come to Will
mington, but instead of being there
when the vessel was seized, she did
not arrive there until six days after
ward.
The probability is that the Cuba
will be bonded. At least her owners
were at last accounts engaged in pro
oeedings with that end in view.
The Wilmington papers of yester-
day speak 10 highly favorable terms
of the manner in which the officers
and crew of the Cuba conducted
themselves during the judicial pro-
ceedines, and state that two of those
held to bail have already left the city,
and that the others under bonds
will soon follow. also, for New York,
Supervisor Fulton, of Pennsylvania,
hiss secured the arrest of i. q. Pom
peji, for selling tobacco with counter
J felt stamps. The Supervisor has, also
! ordered the seizure of the wholesale
liquor establishment of Henri Kiilan
for q violation of the law. There
were two hundred barrels OF raw
spirits among the articles seized. -
