A DiagracefuI Scene.

A most disgraceful scene was enact
ed, early yesterday morning, in front
OF the State Savings bank, on Main
street. Two bootblacks came to mis-.
understanding when a crowd gathered
around urging them to fight. In few
minutes the crowd had increased to
nearly a hundred persons, while a
number Of express wagons drew up on
the spot. The two boys stood menac.
ing each other for at least half an
hour, the crowd jeering and pushing
them on to the fight. Finally one of
the boys pushed the other down, strik-
ing him several times, and the morbid
appetite Of the crowd having been sa>
tiated, 1t dispersed. No officers were
about to dispense the crowd.
