There is some little satisfaction iii knowing that New York city, the city whence emanates the charge that we sell water in our hospitable valley for cents a glass, has been humiliated,by one of the most outrageous and causeless popular outbreaks of the present century.

The NeW York papers at - the time gave you many incidents of the riots, but were very careful not to tell all. Here are one or two that I can vouch for : A friend of mine, from , Philadelphia, was in a crowded street - car which was •stop. ped, and every man and 'woman in it was robbed, he losing his pocket book and a val uable watch. - The_ ladies in the -car were comPelled td give up even their ear and fin ger rings, some ileing treated with unneces sary violence and with indecency.
