It seems that the affair was under the auspices of the Lin coln Greys, a new military organization of colored men, and as no tickets were sold the colored folks favorable to the organiza tion were considered as having a free and cordial invitation to participate. The man agers had been at considerable expense to prepare a feast of good things, from which they expected to realize enongh to hand somely reimburse them - for their trouble and time. The object of the' affair seems to have been received with great favor, and accordingly every train leaving the Alle gheny station during the day for the grounds was filled with the friends of the "Greys," which made the attendance unu ; axially large. , All went smoothly enough until towards the dinner hour when some of the "mud larks" of the colored fraternity arrived on the grounds, evidently bent on mischief. They had not been present very long before their spirit of maliciousness manifested itself, and caused a considerable disturb ance. Daring this melee the tables were overturned, and amid the crashing of , dishes, the destruction of dainty articles of food and refreshment, and the noisy tu mult of angry rowdyism, the managers saw with sad consternation the fading away of all their bright anticipations of financial success. Quiet at length was restored, and the festivities proceeded for some time longer. About three o'clock in the after noon the disturbers were reinforced by a fresh delegation from the city, which was the signal for the renewal of hostilities. This time the combat became more general, and sticks, stones, clods, razors, bayonets and pistols played a prominent part., During During this second melee the colored barber, Samuel Bell, received a severe gash in the abdomen with a razor, wielded by another member of the - tonsorial profes sion named Johnson, who, in return, was wounded and prettybadly- bruised by his opponent, 'who carried a sword. Others of the participants also carried from the grounds sore heads,' arms, and bruises in all pat ts of their bodies, as remembrances of the interesting occasion. The conflict was brought tea termina tion by mutual consent, all seeming to be satisfied at what had been done, and most of them being too much exhausted to continuo it further. At the hearing last evening they gathered from all portions of the city and congregated around the Mayor's office, a crowd of excited and very talkative indi vidtuils, each of whom seemed to have some particular mark of the conflict to exhibit on his person. Most of them, however, ac cording to their own statements, were peaceful hut unfortunate spectators of the scene. Several witnesses were examined, after which the case was postponed for a further hearing this afternoon at two "clock. A Female Sharper. Yefrterday morning a lady while out seopping left a bundle containing a quanti ty of valuable silk lying on the seat of her carriage, which was standing on Fifth street in front of one of the trimming stores, while she went in to make some purchases. During her absence a well dressed female came out of the store and entered the carriage unobserved by the driver who sat on the box. As she .sated herselfshe spoke to "Jehu," who turned to see what she wanted, when she appear ed to be greatly surprised, saying that•she had mistaken that for her carriage. She got out and walked away, and' shortly af terwards the proprietress of the carriage came out of the store, and upon entering' the vehicle discovered that the bundle of silk had been taken and a package contain-/ ing nothing but paper left in its stead. ' T Disorderly House. Mrs. Rebecca Campbell made informa tion before the Mayor, yesterday, charging Sarah Douglas, Mrs. \Vies and othera,with keeping a disorderly house. It is alleged that a daughter of the pro-ecutrix formerly frequented the house kept by the accused but had recently been induced to become n inmate of the Home for Abandoned 'Women, on Chatham street. Subsequent ly sho tired of the restraints upon her lib erties, and WedriO-day evening escaped from the institution by climbing from a third story window. The officers made a descent Upon Mr , . Douglas' establishment yesterday and arrested • seven women, but the missing girl was not among the num ber. They were held for a hearing.
