A HIsToRlc ARsENAL.
The old state Building in Ncw York De
strOyed by Fire.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The old state
arsenal and armory that has stood for
well nigh half a century on the corner
of White and Elm streets was reduced
by fire Tuesday night to a mere skel-
eton. Only the four walls remain Of
this historic building The old state
arsenal was erected and owned by the
state of New York, and all the arms
and ammunition supposed to have been
needed for the protection of the metrop-
oils in other days were stored within its
walls.
From its portals the militia companies
We're on many occasions turned out to
quell a riot. One of these was the
famous battle between the dead Rab-
bits, of Mulberry street, and the
Bend and the "Bowery Boys, Just
before the war. The Dead Rabbits "
had an old Mexican war cannon, and
loaded it up to the muzzle with nails
and bullets, and waited the attack of
the Bowery Boys. The Seventh regi-
ment was shut up in the old arsenal
over night in anticipation Of riot, and
its appearance alone quelled the rising.
In 1857, the period of Fernando Woods
reign and the police riots, the arsenal
was also occupied.
During the draft riots, too, the sol
diers were quartered in the arsenal and
received their arms and ammunition
from there. Again ON July 10, 1871,
when Jim Fisk's Ninth regiment was at
tackled on Eighth avenue, the day of the
last Orange riot in this city, the Sixty
ninth regiment rested on their arms in
the arsenal, waiting to be called out to
protect life and property. When the
state built its new arsenal on Thirty
eighth street this arsenal was turned
over to the city. 1t was leased out sub
sequently by the sinking fund commits
sioners and has drawn fair revenues for
the municipality.
Whether the city will rebuild the in
terror or tear down the walls is mat
ter OF conjecture.
