Correspondence Of the st. ClAinyillc Gazette,
The great sensation here now is the
doings at and about corner Of Arch and
Church streets. Sometime ago Mr.. j. I,
Hinton, u youngman Of first class respect
ability, bought that corner, and fitted it
up finely Tor his business Us cigar and
grocery dealer, and to which he added the
sale Of beer. On the 22d inst, n number
oigood women called on him and urged
him not to sell beer. lie treated them as
man always treats u woman, courteous
", respectfully aud kindly, but refused to
stop. This was repeated on the 2lth with
like result. On Tuesday evening the
Woman's League went in Il mass to the
corner, inspired aud escorted by that
"Pious Fraud" the BishOpof huge breast

woman screamed, "Why don't you men
tear the house down" The Bishop way
ed his hand and the lcagncrs made lor
the door Of IInton's room, now to
this door then to that, with surge and re-
coil like waves in whirlwind. Now
they withdrew to the street to hear the
gentle wooings Of an honest prayer from
the lips Of noble wOmNn-and all is
still. Here the grandcst act OF this dis
graceful sight was played by "Big lndi-
an" who walked in and took his position
s0larcly in the centre Of llintOn's room.
lie is ordered ont, and the order is re-
peatCl time and again, until six times re-
peatcd. And yet he stands violating law,
invading the smctily Of private property
and inviting the assaults and insult Of It's
Owncrs-and still he stands. Al last the
mace of policeman bursts on his sight
and he rctircs, gritting his teeth and ex-
claiming, "a lirst.Class hell.hOlc 1t Is, and

And this is the chap to have struck whom
would have made the sweet little l&agucra
sweep everything away hut "God and the

While these things were going on with
the mob, many Of IIinton's friends rallied
about him. Glasses full OI beer in many
hands were handed around and drank.
The jingIing Of empty glasses and their
refill went on, amid talk and laughter.
Ladies were offered glasses, and even his
grace was prollcrcd glass OF the flowing
"swill." One amen was said by the
crowd within to the sincere prayer OF Mrs.
Davenport. But not one obscene, vulgar,
proianc or bIasphemous word was uttered
by any one Of the crowd within. These
are the facts that make up the wretched
scene Of last Tuesday night, not rs seen by
one eye witness, but by dozens Of them.
