An Affair That Resembles the One Recent
ly Enacted in New Orleans.

New York, Aug. IA fierce and
sudden antl-negro riot that was only
quelled after six hours of determined
fighting held this city in a reign of
terror during the night. In the dis
trict along the west side of the city
between Thirtieth and Fortysixth
streets negroes were attacked and
mercilessly beaten, many of them into
insensibility. They were seized wher-
ever they appeared and prompt work
on the part of 700 policemen under
Chief Devery himself was all that
saved many of the negroes from death.
The cause of the sudden and unexpect-
ed outbreak was the murder on Sun
day morning of Policeman Robert j.
Thorpe by a negro named Arthur Har-
ris. Thorpe was stabbed by Harris
while attempting to arrest May Emo,
colored woman. The policeman died
Monday at Roosevelt hospital.
