The TOadies.

New York. Feb Prince Arthur was
ut the Philharmonic rehearsal at the
Academy yesterday afternoon The box
was neatly draped with English and Ameri-
can colors The Prince, William Cullen
Bryant and daughter occupied the same
box. The audience was mainly ladies, but
the distinguished visitor was cheered and the
orchestra broke away from the regular pro-
gramme snd played ''God Save the Queen"
The Last Sensation.
A rumor having reached the police last
night of an attempt to be made on the
| life of Prince Arthur, an officer was detailed
| to watch the Prince and his party as they
proceeded from the Brevoort to the resi-
dence of Judge Stoughton, corner Fifth
| avenue and Seventeenth street. A party
of rufians stationed near the Brevoort
approached the officer, drew revolvers and
told him to leave. The officer got rein
forcements, returned and attacked the
rUffians, and after a severe fight arrested
William Murphy, Pat Mulhide, Charles
! Gardiner John Laugh and Michael Nc
Nulty. Laugh is an Englishman and
Gardiner native Of Yonkers. The party
refused to make any explanation of their
conduct, and were arraigned before the Po-
lice Court this morning on the charge of
assauling the officers, there not being SUI
ticient proof to establish design upon
the Princes life. They were committed.
Goes TO the Hub for Refuge.
Prince Arthur left this evening for Boston.
He is to attend the Peabody obsequies at
Peabody on Tuesday. There is no more
truth in the report OF the attempt to assas-
sinate tho Prince than that rumor being
that such thing was intended, several
arrests we're made. The Princes friends
deny the correctness of the story, and the
men under arrest profess to know nothing
of it. The belief is general that it is a
hoax.

Two scoundrels, assisted by a couple of
hundred thieves and murderers, mashed

Palisades, yesterday. Dempsey, the favor
lite with betting men, was badly beaten,
and when the referee, Jerry Mulligan, an
nounced the result of the fight the mob
drew knives and pistols, and began an in
discriminate battle among themselves. Sew
eral men were badly wounded, and the
whole party returned to the metropolis
breathing mutual vengeance toward each
other.
