 the Salvation Army-No Parade Last
 Evening-Scenes at she Meeting fin
 the Barracks-Captain Dickson De-
 termined to Have Better order.
 Anyone who passed up Chapel street last evening shortly before o'clock must have noticed the unusually large number ofroush, hardened looking young men who were going rdown the street in struggling pasties They had eoneregated on the Greepl to .PiE'o 'ne Salvation Army warm /ecept1on. mere were several carefully 1ate plans for breaking up the meeting which were disconcerted by the non-appearance If the Army and the makers thereof y6nt down to the barracks with feelings ok disappointment ranking in their bosonls, determined to fight it out in the Arzny's own quarters. They halted about the doors in uncertainty and finally went up. In the hall they were uproariously boisterous. Captain Hunter, the much bearded and blue gogg1ed Frederick Weiss, Simon P. Waller son, the Swedish shoemaker, and Fred Meek CT, the young convert, are all that appeared upon the stage, Mrs. Gordon, Miss Johnson and the irresponsible young negro, George, being absent by dismissal. Captain Hunter 4AA4oo INV a fit person to be member of the Army. Mrs. Gordon was more CT less associated with her and poor George, though faithful, vet in all his actions is not quite up to the standard of sanity and discretion which the Army requires Captain Hunter was, therefore, the only reg ular member of the Army present, the other three men being residents of the city who earn their own living and are not paid by the Army The services were interrupted ire quent1y. Calls from all parts of the house drowned by the bowling of the mob, and when the gentleman with the goggles arose to speak he was greeted with such an out burst of shouts as to almost raise the root Several boys were run out of the hall by an energetic young man not connected with the Army, but the disturbance became so 1n- tense that the police were sent for. Two officers soon arrived and quiet was restored.
 A temporary ripple of excitement was caused by the entrance of three blooming women, bearing theregulation Army toggery. They rushed up the aisle, grasped Capt Hun ter cordially by the hand and proceeded upon the stage and entered upon their duties with out further ado. Their names are Captain Dickson, Lieutenant Mallibrand and Cadet Carrie Lasher. They came from Peekskil1 and have been extremely successful in their work there They will remain here and carry on the work A parade will be made this evening to the Green, but probably without drums.
 The meeting was more orderly for awhile, but soon the restraint wore off and the hood lums began their old tricks. Two drunken men tried to sing in the rear of the hall. The Army official on duty at the door remonstra-: ted and threatened to put them out as they were singing boisterously. The men refused to go and fully half the audience rose and hurried to the rear of the hall. A fight was started It was fought until the combatants were pushed out into the outer hall Then quiet was restored and the meeting went on. The policemen had gone out before the affair. The meeting was comparatively quiet after ward for a Salvation Army meeting. Captain Dickson said she was determined to have good order.
 Captain Hunter goes to Brooklyn to-day. He says Captain Hepworth, who was former ly in charge here, did not seem to have any idea of what his duties were and everything was in a bad way. But he is confident that under Captain Dickson everything will be changed and that affairs will run along prosperously.
