The loagshoremen are still at variance with their
late employers of Olmstead's elevators, situated at
the Atlantic DOCK Brooklyn. How long the trouble
will last 1t is impossbfS to state. As il stands
1t is source Of much annoyance to the police and
refractory shOvelers Of grain Oh the elevators.

strikers by the guardians OF the peace or Furman

DemOlish1HH VILLA amsburg Liquor
Saloon.
Yesterday afternoon three young men, who have
not heretofore been placed on the criminal cal
endar, entered the liquor saloon Of Henry Sunder-
mann, junction of Broadway and Division avenue,
Williamsburg, and after indugng freely in drinks
not only refused to pay for them but threatened to
kill the bartender, Peter Behrens for making the
demand. The bartender, who appears to be q reso-
lutte young fellow, continued to demand the amount
due-Only thirty-hve cents-when one of the
''rOasters' seized the ice pitcher and hurled
1t at his head. The pitcher struck him over
the right ear, innicting an abrasion Of
rens then went for the cowardy trio with
a club, and clubbed them SO energeticaly
that they deemed it prudent to make hasty
retreat their heads showing signs OF the just pun
ishment that they had received. On reaching the
sidewalk the ''bummers'' amused themselves by
hurting paving stones and brickbats through the
windows OF the saloon, making complete wreck of
the place. While this was going the police of the
Fifth precinct received intelligence of the riot and
fastening to the scene, they secured two of the
rioters and had them locked up. The names Of the
prisoners are George Vale and Edward Valentine,
young men who evidently intend to emulate the
bad deeds Of the Wythe avenue gang, OF which
Patsey Cullen and Red Haggerty are the shining
lights. Their companion escaped.
