Gam, Cassini, the Russian Ambassador,
and his adopted daughter sailed on the
Wrooprinz Wilhelm for Europe yesterday
.aroruoon. A short time before they went
~, hoard they saw tumult near the steam
ob;n pier in Hoboken that partook some
.bat Of the nature OF a race riot combined
With an attempted lynching.
The Count and his daughter, with party
- friends, were seated ut one Of the side
walk tables in front of Meyers Hotel when
mob Of longshoremen, shouting and
,browing rocks and balehooks at fleeing
Italian, came rushing up from the river
front.
The Italian made a dash into the side
e,trancc of the hotel, and one wing of the
mob. composed principally of German
doc,hands and stevedores, swarmed in
or,nr him. while another wing rushed around
~, a flank movement to the Third street
entrance 10 head the fugitive off if he at
,ampted 10 escape in that direction. 1t
was this section which surged around the
,ahle where the Russian Ambassador and
his friends were seated. Count Cassini
and those who were with him sprang to their
foo, i'm evident alarm at the invasion. From
,bcr position they had not the slightest
cine as 10 what it all meant. The Italian,
running for his life, had darted into the
building on tho Hudson street side. All
that the group on the Third street side
c,ull make out of it was that a mob, APP
narrnlv bent on murder and destruction,
had swooped down upon the Gambrinian
tran0uilltv of Meyers without cause or
reason. The Italian, meanwhile, had stored
himself away in the elevator shaft, and the
mob after few minutes was worked back
into the streets by the hotel attendants.
The trouble arose from a longshore-
mems fight, in which the Italian, Antonio
Troiche, "a years old, Of 500 Main street,
had struck n German. Henry Roegger Of
2ll Park avenue, with balehook, inf1ict-
ing wound several inches long in his
shoulder This Infatuated Roegger's fell
low Germans, and they started after
Troiche, presumably intent on beating
him to death After the mob dispersed
the Italian was taken out Of the hole in
which he had hidden and locked up at
police headquarters on charge Of
atrocious assault and battery.
BY this exciting incident and by the APP
pearance Of reporters at frequent inter"
yals Count Cassini's last meal in America
was relieved Of tedium. To the reporters
he turned kindly ear, but had nothing to
saw for publication. He had been quoted
In the afternoon papers as saying that he
intended to come back in September, no
matter what rumor there might be to the
contrary. and he did not deny the accuracy
Of the quotation

in his honor that Grady, the silver-tongued.
