eral of the fast young bloods of city fit like
moths around burning taper, invitations
were extended to the fair and frail generally
throughout the city. Soon after the hour
of midnight motley crew had assembled,
from the grey.haired veteran in sin and in
iqulty, to the beardless youth, yet a novice
in the ways of the world. Could this sink Of
iniquity have been uncapped to the gaze OF
doting mothers and loving trusting wives,
their hearts would have been wrung with an
guish to see those they loved whirling in the

lures who made up the feminine portion of
the crowd. All went smoothly until party
OF young bloods from the strand who move
cety, entered. These exquisite gentlemen, (!)
God save the mark, had been out on the
beach on wild hurrah and were the worse
for the frequent libations they bad INDUCED
in there, and soon after their appearance upon
the scene of festivities they became uproarious
and went in on their shape. They found
other dupes only too willing to join them,
and the fun became fast and furious. Chairs
and tables were pitched around promiscu-
ously, regardless Of who they hit or the
damage they inflicted. When remonstra-
ted with by the police, three Of whom with
the night sergeant were in attendance, they
declared they were running the thing, and il
interfered with, they would clean out the en-
tire force, and then and there attempted il,
when lively and indiscrimiAate tussel en-
sued. Men fighting and swearing, women
screaming made up a pandemonium on the
Sabbath morning that was disgrace to
civilized and christian community. The SER
geant and his force was roughly handled, but
finally succeeded in ejectng the young bloods
from the hall onto the street where another
scrimmsge occurred. Billy Lawrence, the
pstrolman of the beat, hearing the rumpus
rushed in to take hand, when he was handed
one under the eye that sent him 20 grass,
and made him see whole constellation of
stars. He Immediately sprang to his feet,
seized his burly antagonist and struggled
with him until he reached the sidewalk, when
he threw him heavily, falling on top of
him, where Billy held him until
he begged like coward. Finding
they could not get away with the
police, these pinks of society pleaded like
good fellows not to be arrested, but allowed
to 20 home. In consequence Of the position
they occupy, and certain influence they
command, this was granted. Why these
bloods we're not arrested for disorderly and
shameful conduct is q matter of surprise to
all who are cognizant Of the facts. Had they
been strangers, or men who did not move in
the tony circles of society, they would have
b,en brought in and fined heavily. The &C.
ton Of the mayor in granting permission for
sleh ball is strongly reprehended, and will
not increase his waning popularity. After
the melee the ball was brought to speedy
close,to be followed by another soon,when the
same wild orgies will be re-enaoted.
II. Hawkins, an old gentleman from the in
terror, came to the city u few days ago. tie
seemed to have quite an amount of jewelry.
Whether he brought it with him or pur-
chased it here is not definitely known. Be-
ing rather frisky old gent for So years of
age, he concluded he would take in the town
and see what could be seen by gsslight
Taking several decoctions 10 brace up his
courage, he started out, with all bis jewelry,
and before he had completed the tour
he fell into the tolls of q
frail but fair one, and was relieved of
a valuable diamond ring, which he had
purchased for lady up the country, and
other jewelry. After SOLDERING up, and find
ing that he had been pretty thoroughly
plucked, he made c'mplaint 10 the chief of
police, who detailed detective Mountain to
work up the case. Last night the officer had
secured the diamond and another ring and
was on the track of the other missing arti-
cles. 1t 10 never too late 10 learn, and the
old gentleman, from this bit of experience,
may be wiser in the ereafter.-Sundsy
