The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1874-05-28

they were joined by band of five men
bearing an accordion, two large wooden
whistles, cows horn, and bass viol
! improvised from a soap box. These fell
! lows, headed by a drum major bearing
/ in addition to his staff of Office, half
| gallon glass of beer, marched and coun-
! termarched among the ranks of the
| ladies producing as hideous noise as
they were able. The mammoth glass
was often replenished on the line of
march and as often emptied by the
thirsty musicians (?). A young woman
also took a deep draught, and then offer
ed it to the little child, which she bore
on her arm; but the little thing, with
more wisdom than its mother, turned
away its haxen head. Before the saloon
| of Albert Witch, on Sixth street, one
| of the most demonstrative of the dis
| turbers, filed his cows horn with beer
and then drank from the small end of
! the dirty vessel The noise was contin-
ually increasing, the hymns of the wo-
men and the yells of the men being ac
| companied by the discordant clangor of
dinner bell. At this place and the one
next door to it. owned by an individual
! who rejoices in the musical name of K 90,
| the crowding and pushing, occasioned by
| the band, which had meanwhile been
augmented by an organ grinder, was so
| great that kneellng was impossible. The
| leader of the band here became too up
roarious to suit the patience of a young
man in shirt sleeves, who rushed off and
soon returned with Officer Meader, who
arrested the disturber, and marched him
to the Third Street Station, where he de-
posted twenty-five dollars bail for his
appearance in the Police Court this morn
ing. His name is Gus. Strotman, and he

name at the station is disorderly con-
duct
The dividing line between civilization
and barbarism seems to be the east side
of Freeman street, for, while the band
operating during the week in the vicinity
of Baymiller and Linn Streets have
caused no disturbance nor been in the
least molested, the appearance of the
other band on Carr or Freeman street
has been the signal for an exhibition of
depravity and righteousness unequaled
by even the famous Chicago disorder. In
fact, Cincinnati has Qut-Chicagoed Chi
cago.
The band of crusaders which left the
Third Presby terian Church yesterday
took up the line of march of the day
before, and proceeded in comparative
peace anu quIeG unGlI III arrived IN lfOnG
of the brewery of Foss, Schneider &
Brenner. Here a plan seemed to have
been laid to give the ladies a noisy recep-
ton, for no sooner had they begun their
services before a most hideous din was
raised within the building, the windows
of the second story being thrown up, in
order to give free vent to the uproar.
Prominent among the noise makers was
ex-Policemen John Klein, who. with
other brewers, dragged couple of cop
per cans to the open window, and set to
beating them vigorously with clubs.
Other brewers appeared upon the low
roof of the brewery shed and increased
the din by beating upon the cornice with
clubs and bowling like demons.
Eggs were thrown down upon the
crowd from the windows in the Mansard
roof, and beer spilled upon the band.
One of the proprietors of the brewery,
Mr.. Foss, called upon one of the two po-
licemen present to clear his pavement,
as he wished to get into his Office, but
was informed that it was impossible, as
the crowd was too great.
While the band was engaged before the
saloon of Joseph Lefkin, few doors
north, pelting shower of rain fell upon
them; they finished the prayer and took
refuge under the awning of the drug
Mayor johnson had arrived on the
scene bringing with him Mr.. B Gueter-
book, reporter of the Volkstreuad. For
few moments he was earnestly engaged
in consultation with the two officers
He ordered them TO arrest any man who
would begin a disturbance, but the po-
licemen demonstrated, saying that any
attempt to make an arrest would create
riot and cost some ones life. The
band had been followed by crowd of
brewers and women, who yelled and
howled in way which would have put
to shame any Comanche Indian that ever
lived.
The Mayor begged one of these disor-
derly women to behave like ordinary
human beings, but was at once surround
ed by several of them and treated to a
flood ofchocest German billingsgate until
he turned on his heel in disgust.
The rain having partly ceased, the
band moved on to the saloon of Chris
tian Epple, No 3l7 Freeman street. The
Mayor with his reportorial protege, whom
by the way the crowd took to be MS son,
followed the ladies very closely and took
position before the crowd of brewers
and their cohorts, using all his power of
persuasion to keep them quiet. He had
previously requested the ladies to return
he would gladly protect them, but it was
beyond his power Mrs. Moore, the
leader, firmly insisted upon their right
to do as they were doing, said she was
willing to assume all the responsibilities,
and would if necessary, sacrifice her own
life to the cause.
The mob now became more demonstra-
tive than ever, and, melted by a well
known German, proposed to make
rush and clear the pavement OF the wo-
men. The Mayor renewed his remon-
strances, but was rudely thrust against
the women Not the shadow of respect
was shown him; but now that the beery
blood was up, shouts of kill the MayorW
were heard, and the infuriated rahble
pushed forward, tumbling the Mayor and
the ladies into the street.
Mr.. Guterbock, who, when the ,iostling
began, held up his hands deprecating
was knocked down by blow on the
mouth. Thus was the VoLkSfreu1ad re-
warded for all his faithful work in behalf
of the beer men There are those who
may see in this fact providential judg-
ment meeted out to that paper for its
| distortions of the temperance news.
The mob swept along the pavement,
carrying everything along with 1T, and
knocking down every man who ventured
to attempt to shield the ladies One OF
the oldest members of the band was
knocked into the gutter, and gentle
man who stepped forward to shield her,
| shared the same fate. The crowd surged
up and down the pavement with dlaboll-
| cal wells and screeches, while the Mayor
and his ward, extricating themselves
| from their perilous position, disappeared
