A Mob OF Many Thousands Wreck a
Meeting Hall.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE first Of tho
riots which the labor leaders and others
have been predicting for sometime as a
result Of the large number Of men out Of
employment occurred this morning.
ATTACK on wALHALLA HALL.
A crowd Of more than 1000 attacked
Walhalla hall. on Orchard street, because
admittance was denied them. They
smashed the plate glass windows into
atoms, forced in the door which had been
turned against them, and forcibly took
possession Of the place.
POLICE RESERVES CALLED OUT.
Several persons were cut by the flying
glass. All sorts of missiles were used,
and finally the police reserves from
Eldridge station were ordered TO the
scene, and succeeded in partly dislodging
the crowd. Those forming the crowd
were mostly Hebrews, and represented
principally the clothing trade. There
were cutters, garment makers, hat max
ers, and cloak makers.
AS FUEL TO THE PLANES.
When they saw .le police they became
more enraged than ever and proceeded to
wreck the hall
Nearly everything in it was demol-
ished. Finally the mob was driven out
and dispersed Fifteen or twenty of them
were arrested and locked up on the
charge of disOrderly conduct, but they
were all discharged when brought before
the police court this afternoon, as the
proprietor of the hall would make no
charge against them He was afraid of a
boycott if he pressed a charge, and pre-
ferred TO stand his losses.
EMBOLDENED BY RELEASE.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE mob which
wrecked Walhalla hall became more bold
and defiant to the police after three Of
their number mad been discharged by
Justice Voorhees, in the Essex market po-
lice court to-day The mob would not
bulge an inch, and clubs had to be used
TO drive them away On almost all Of the
east side street corners stood groups of
unemployed men with angry looks and
determined faces.
LACK OF EMPLOYMENT THE CAUSE.
They said that hunger had made them
desperate, and I'VE have hearts," said
one man, land when we hear our children
crying for food, we feel it. We love our
children as well as the rich man likes his. -
The police found it a difficult task to
drive the mob away, and were compelled
to arrest seven more of the disOrderly
crowd. The prisoners were arraigned be-
fore Justice Voorhees, in the Essex Mar
ket court and were remanded until to-
morrow. There was great excitement at
tending the arrests of the prisoners.
Word was quickly sent to their families
that they were in the hands of the police.
Men, women and children followed them
from the station house to the court, and
the greatest excitement prevailed while
the prisoners were being led through the
streets.
The crowd must have numbered over
1000 people, and when the prisoners were
remanded they were followed back to the
station house

ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly

the value to health of the pure liquid

ant to the taste, tie refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax

met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.

gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

QUITTING sCRAPE.
Two Men Hack Each Other to Their
Hearts Content.

h6dIJS 0OAL6hJs
Carrollton, Ga, Aug. IA terrible
cutting ARRAY took place at the Blue
Shinn court ground, Heard county, yes
terday evening j. Cook Barr and Frank
Hightower were the participants, and
both men were terribly cut Hightower
was abusing Barr, and later he ran at
him with knife. Barr who, also had a
knife open, went 10 work on Hightower,
and so 1t was terrible fight for awhile
SEPARATION PREVENTED DEATH.
The men were parted or both would
have been cut to pieces. The cutting
ARRAY is the sequel to a funny story.
Barr and Hightower have lived neighbors
for some years. 1t is reported that Barr
fell in love with Hightower's wife, and
his love was reciprocated by Mrs.
Hightower. They commenced to devise
a way to get married according to law.
This was hard TO do, as both Mrs. Barr
and Hightower were living. One obsta-
Gle, however, was soon removed. Mrs
Barr did not like the attention that her
husband was giving Mrs. Hightower, so
she left him and went back to her father,
who lived near Draketown, Harralson
county.
ATTEMPTING TO SMOOTH THE WAY.
To get rid of Frank HightOwer was the
Ht&b bHiuB III OEutE. AlFS. f1lEnLOWef
swore out a warrant of lunacy against
Hightower and after long and
holly contested trial Hightower was sent
to the state insane asylum. In the
meantime, Cook Barr had sued for
divorce from his wife in Heard county
and Mrs. Hightower went west and OBJ
tanned a divorce from her husband When
Barr obtained his divorce he and Mrs.
Hightower were married. Frank High
tower stayed in the asylum for onlya few
months, when he was turned out The
officers stated that he was not crazy,
any way.
THE DENoUEMENT.
When Frank Hightower returned home
he found his wife and Cook Barr married,
and he was very wroth, He said it was
scheme of his wife and Cook Barr to get
him of to the asylum, so that
they could marry. He had them
arrested for bigamy, but on the
trial Barr and his new wife showed up
their divorce papers and the warrants
were dismissed. Hightower was still mad
about his wife being taken away from
him, and he has been on the warpath for
Barr ever since.
They met at Blue Shinn county ground ,
twelve miles south of here yesterday, and
fought as mentioned above. j. Cook
Barr is well connected in Heard and Car
roll counties.

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES.
The conclusion Of the meeting, after
many talks. speeches and suggestions,
was that something must be done and
done quickly, to meet the demands which
the handling of the cotton crop entails
and the best plan 10 do this was through
clearing house certificates issued by the
banks here and backed by the entire bust
ness interests Of this city. With this end
in view a committee was appointed to
wait on the heads of all business houses
and get their signatures to an
agreement TO accept and regard clearing
house certificates in every business trans
action possible.
GENERALLY SIGNED.
The agreement was universally signed,
and the banks viii at once issue enough
of the certificates TO supply the lack of
currency Of the realm. In all tranSac-
tions with the business houses and banks
of this city the certificates will be as
good as United States notes. The banks
will issue New York exchange for them
at the same discount as ordi--
narily prevails, and the merchants
will accept them gladly in exchange for
their wares and commodities. The dila-
tory antics Of congress in dealing with
the financial crisis is disgusting every
one, and makes it necessary for every city
of any pretension to meet the pressure
through prompt action. Albany is not
going to allow its business interests to
suffer The following resolutions relat-
ing 10 the refusal of Chicago and other
cities 10 accept checks, and demanding
cash as tenders for all bills, was carried
with a whOOp:

turning from Balm bridge, where he had
