 A great deal of indignation was felt on the part of large number of the Oak street Jewish element last night. Wolfe Levy, it is Seported, went through that street yesterday afternoon and told every old long whiskered Jew he met that by going to City Hall he could get all of the coal he wanted at s75O ton. By o'clock there were at least a hundred Jews in the hall with baskets, bags and plenty of cold hard cash. Women and girls were sent in the hope of putting in orders and Dick Lane Is said to have had orders in his pocket for 50 tons from as many people. Wolfe didn't show up and pos sibly it was good thing that he didnt as the members of the Oak street crowd were very indignant when they found out that they were buncoed.
