LATER FROM COHEN.
A Washington dispatch of the Esd,
says Cohen made no attempt to-day to
march bis mob. Simms, the negro ar
rested on Saturday for striking an
officer during the riot, was in the police
court to-day. Judge Smell. in giving

that Cohen had excited feeling Of
riot among the ignorant class,
which, unless unchecked, might lead to
serious results. AS Cohen worked up
this sort Of thing, he was sharp enough
TO keep out Of the way Of the law, and
his followers became the victims. All
the meetings and professions similar to
these held by the Cohens were rotous
and disorderly.
