THE EXCISE LAW IN WILLIAMSBURG

The order recently issued by Chief Of Police
Campbell directing the Captains fthe various pre-
cincts to strictly enforce the Excise law was carr
ried out pretty well in the Eastern district. The
liquor saloons presented somewhat respectable
appearance yesterday, for the first time since the
abrogatlon Of the Metropolitan Excise law. The
front doors were closed, and there was an
absence of gangs in the front. The side
DOORS however, were unlocked, and the thirsty
entered and had their cocktails without 'let or
hindrance." The rowdy element was not con-
spcuous yesterday In the whole district there,
was but one slight disturbance. Officer Burrilr
of the Fourth precinct, while attempting to DIS,
perse o crowd OF ds0rderly persons c0ngregateG
at the corner OF Grand and Seventh Streets was as
saulted by young man named Henry Browne.
The Oficer succeeded in conveying his assailant
to the station house, where he was detained until
the opening OF Justice Eiott's Court when he was
admitted to bail. George Walter, liquor dealerr
doing business at North Eleventh and Second
streets, arrested by of1cer Timothy Phelan for
violating the Excise law, was admitted TO ball by
Justice Elliott, as was also William Wallis, OF No.,
80 Broadway, who was arrested for the same offence
by officer Bell. In the sixth and Seventh precincts
there we're no arrests and no pr0vocatfons re-
ported, but there were many drunken men ON
The streets OF Williamsburg yesterday as on any
previous Sunday. Last night while Officer Slmons
was arresting q disordery person named Charles
Fitzgerald, he was assaulted by one Michael Ian

OF smoke, through which the red flames were
dimly visible. The gable Of the mill was
blown into Commerce street. The men employed
in the work were collected as far as possible,
and 1t was then found that six men and
two boys were missing, and the conclusion was ar
rived at that they were buried in the ruins.
large number OF the men were also found to be
injured, and the more serious cases, amounting to
six or so, were taken to the infirmary, while the
others were removed to the adjoining sh0pe and
afterwards taken to their homes. BY this time the
