ALL QUIET AT MIDNIGHT

bidding the Orange procession, was re-
voked by Governor Hoffman, who
issued proclamation promising mill
tary and police aid to the Orangemen,
and warning all persons to abstain from
interfering with them. At 6 A. NJ,
1900 police were on hand IN readiness
for duty. The police force had been
organizing all night. The force was
divided into three battalions and held at
the various precincts for orders.
The first intelligence of any gather
ing of men was received shortly after
$50 this morning, when it was ascer-
tanned that the Hibernians Of the Nine
teenth ward were under arms and that
arms were being distributed at Mile
mans Hall, Seventh avenue, and at HI
bernian Hall, Prince street. No notice,
however, was taken of their proceed
ings. The Superintendent OF Police
was informed at the same time
that an attack was ,neditated in the
Eleventh ward on house belonging to
the relations Of an Orangeman named
Woods, who was killed in the trouble o!
last year. A force Of one hundred
patrolmen were Immediately dispatched
to the locality. At 7 A. NJ, the alarm
ing intelligence was received that large
BODY Of men had massed in the 3lst
precinct with the intention of attacking
and burning the mansion Of Judge
Henry Heiser, corner of Ninety-second
street and Eighth avenue. Helser
sheltered several Orangemen last year
on the 18th Of July from the fury OF
the Irish Catholics, and they now pro-
pose to be revenged. Gov. Hoffman
ordered the Seventh regiment to the
scene OF the expected outbreak.
At 7:l5 Inspector Walling took COM
mand of the Second battalion and made
for Twenty-ninth street and Eighth av-
enue, from which point the procession
was to start There were twelve large
coaches and omnibuses held at police
headquarters, ready to convey the re-
serves to any given point. The detect
ives were ordered out and covered the
city as spies Up to this time it had not
been positively known whether the Or
angemen would relinquish their parade
or not, but about s A. NJ. Superintend-
ent Kelso received information that the
parade would certainly take place, and
trouble might, consequently, be ex-
pected.
About 10 A. NJ. a rumor reached the
police headquarters that Harper Broth
ers establishment was to be attacked
on account of the feeling displayed in
their weekly against Rlbbonmen. A
police force was Immediately sent to
protect the building.
An obstruction to the police telegraph
on the corner OF Mott and Prince
streets, was discovered to be an effigy Of
a man, hanging from the wires. 1t had
no offensive placard attached to it. A
large crowd of men and boys were col
lected around it. .'
At ii A. NJ. a messenger rushed into
police headquarters and informed the
Superintendent that large party had at
tackled the Fenian headquarters at Nos.
10 and 81 avenue A, demanding arms
stored there. General Millen, Of the
Fenian Brotherhood assumed command
of the building, refusing to give up the
arms. A crowd rushed on the building
with revolvers but General Millen held
them at bay till the arrival OF a de-
tachment of one hundred armed police
when they fled ignominiously. The
police seized all the arms. -
Shortly afterward the police were in.
formed that two bodies Of rioters had
started down town, one on Third av.
enue, numbering several hundred, and
the other on Ninth avenue. Of over one
thousand. Those on Ninth avenue fu-
riously attacked the Swiss and Italian
laborers working there, compelling
them to desist and severely injuring q
number. About this time the uptown
laborers quit work and were arriving
down town in great numbers. After
one o'clock the crowd was so greatly
increased around Hibernian Hall, and
the demonstration became so threaten
inc. that orders were given to disperse
them, and large body OF police, back
ed bv two regiments, proceeded to the
spot where they met fierce resistance
and used their clubs freely, causing
several broken heads. The crowd
gradually gave way and soon broke and
ran Hiberpiap Hall was then closed,
with all the liquor stores in the vicinity
and the police placed on guard.
At l:30 all the gangs marched up
town and suddenly dispersed. This
looked ominous. The authorities judged
their intention was to congregate at some
point on the route Of the possession.
Learning that it was the intention OF the
New Jersey Orangemen to cross over
the river and celebrate the day in COM
nany with their New York brethern.
Governor Hoffman sent word to the Jer-
sey authorities, warning Orangemen
not n come to New York and parade,
as he could afford protection only to
New Workers.
After much delay the Orange process
sion started at twenty minutes to three
o'clock, amid the confusion of crowded
windows and dense multitude. The
total strength was only a few hundred
many who had intended having alter
wards Withdrawn from the parade. The
following was the order Of the proces,
1 sion: Mounted police, inspector Jaml'
son and staff, a strong force OF ponce
the Seventh regiment in full strength,
