London's Idle Workmen.

THREE THOUSAND OF THEM DEMAND WORK OF
THE GOVERNMENT AND CREATE A RIOT.
A deputation of workmen, escorted by pro-
cession of 5000 unemployed laborers, accom-
panied by bands and carrying banners,
marched yesterday afternoon to the offices of
the local government board in London. Ar
rived there the deputation entered and de-
manded relief for the unemployed of London
through the institution of public works. The
officials in charge of the board rooms were
somewhat dismayed by the demonstration, but
politely informed the deputation that no
official answers to the demand could at the
time be given, because the Right Hon. Sir
Charles Dixie, the president of the board, was
away, and during his absence nothing could be
done. This response was received in Sulen
silence, and the crowd, which by this time had
become mob, rushed in body into Downing
street despite all the efforts Of the police to pre-
vent them, and until dispersed stood bowling
around the official residence of the prime min
lister.
A large meeting of unemployed workmen
was held In the afternoon on the Thames en-
bankment Resolutions were adopted demand

ment workmen, and the construction of useful
Some of the policemen drew their slaves when
the crowd became noisy and demonstrative.
The mob, when charged by the police, fed pre-
cipitately. Some stones were thrown at the
police and several of them were kicked during
the disturbance. No arrests were made.
Another account says that the mob in Down.
ing street attempted to force its way into the
room where the cabinet was in session, and
was only driven back after a desperate struggle.

A Bank Tellerss Fall.

HOW HE YIELDED TO THE sEDUCTIONs OF A
COTTON SPECULATION.
William w. Massey, formerly paying teller OF
the Bank of Commerce, Baltimore pleaded
guilty in the criminal court yesterday to an
indictment charging him with forging a
cashiers check for $4,000, purporting to be
drawn by James r. Edmunds, the cashier, on
the Bank of Commerce, and was sentenced by
Judge Fisher to five years in the penitentiary
the lowest penalty for the offense prescribed by
the law. After his arrest in May last Mr..
Massey made an open confession, saying that
several months previously he had lost 5000 by
an error in addition and the Overpayment of a
check In order to recover the 500, he took
81 900 of the banks money and invested it in
cotton margins, intending to return the entire
amount as soon as the speculation proved a
success which he felt confident it would do.
The cotton market went against him. and the
money was lost. To cover up these losses he
nsed more of the banks money. Again he was
uns,1ccessful, and on May 6, 1884, the day
before his arrest 1t became necessary for him to
have $4,000. He issued two checks during
the day for $4,000, signing the name OF
Mr. Edinunds to one and his own name to the
other That night he went to the dwelling of
Mr. Fdmunds and confessed what he had done.
He said he had not used dollar of the money
outside of the speculation. The entire defalca-
ton was stated to be about $4,000. He had
previously borne an excellent reputation and
was a member of Monument Street NJ u.
church. The suit brought by the bank against
his sureties was compromised by the payment
of 81 $500.

A Terrible Storm ON the Coast.
A violent storm prevailed along the north At
lantic coast yesterday and last night. Extraor-
binary high tides prevailed along the coast,
and much damage is reported along the beaches
by the washing away of bathing houses and
other buildings. At Hunters Point, L. l., the
storm was the severest ever known. The tracks
of the Long Island railroad were submerged
several feet at many points on all the divisions.
At Atlantic City the wind blew gale from the
along the beach FROM, washing down business
places, summer pavilions, bathing establish
ments and other buildings. At Cape May SINH
lar damage was done.
ALARMING HIGH TIDE AT NEW YORK.
The storm made higher tides in the North and
East rivers at New York yesterday than have
been known in over q dozen years. Along West
and South streets nearly every cellar was
flooded. At the Cromwell line pier the superin-
tendent said he never saw such high water at
that point. At Massey street the river actually
over6owed into the street, and many of the
stands Of the butchers in Washington Market
were submerged. At this place the water in
West street was several inches over the car
tracks. Similar scenes have not been witnessed
in many years.
