Providence Armenians Riot In Church.

Providence Armenians Riot In Church.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Dec. 17.-Trouble
which has been brewing between rival fac
tions of Armenians for ten days past cul-
minated today in a riot in the Armenian
church. Last week Court Interpreter
John Charison and Ardirus Caravoonian
were arrested. charged with assault with
intent to kill Carahred Caravoonian.
Charlson's case was tried Friday. He had
sixty witnesses and was discharged.
The trial aroused much ill-feeling, and
an Aruenian priest from Boston was
called to the city yesterday to endeavor to
smooth over the trouble. The Armenians
met in their place Of worship at noon to-
day, and the appearance of the Boston
priest was the signal for opening of the
battle. 1t was claimed he represented the
anti-Charison faction, and Charlson's
friends demanded that he should not
preach. In few moments q fierce battle
was being waged, during which the satire
church was wrecked. The two factions
fought out into Exchange place, and a
general police alarm was necessary to
check the riot. Ten participants were
badly cut and bruised.
