this morning, and although the police we're
called out and were on the scene part of
the time not an arrest was made Several
dishgured heads Of colered men, possible
injury to the circus employees and the de-

How the fight originated the police could
from an attack made by the colored men
on the supper table at which the circus
employees were seated. According to the
statements made to the police the circus
men were at supper, when a party of COL
ored men came along and bombarded their
dining tent When the shower of stones
had fallen against the tent the circus men
went out to defend their rights. and then
there was a fierce battle. Finally the
colored men were repelled and the police
all happened near South Capitol and G
streets. Two circus trains had departed
without any trouble. and then the circus
employees were making up the last .rain
when some Of the troublesome coio-ed peo-
pie reappeared. There were three p;:ssen-
ger coaches on the last train, and in these
the employees were seated to make the jour
ney to Richmond, when the train was at
tackled and the police think that almost
AS the train did not stop there is no way
Of ascertaining what injury was sustained
by the men on the train. Several of the
Colored men were Injured.
