The Story of the Marshall Hall Riot Recalled and an Interesting Pro- gram and Banquet Enjoyed. A glorious good time was had by the Washington Light Infantry Veteran Asso- ciation and their friends at their banquet at Marshall Hall last night, the occasion being the twenty-fifth anniversary of the reorganization of the Washington Light Infantry. There was not a dull moment from the time the Macalester loosed her moorings at 6:30 till the return at mid- night. The program included un address by Capt. J. Tyler Powell, remarks by Lieut. Jesse B. K. Lee, commanding company C of the W. L. I. Corps; by Lieut. Geo. W. Evans of the National Rifles; selections by the orchestra; remarks by Capt. Harrison Dingman; address by J. H. Bromwell, Rep- resentative from Ohio; song, by Wm. E. Morgan, “The Flag of Our Union Forever;” recitation, by Mr. Pullizi; songs by Prof. T. Williams-Pearman, Way Down the Suwannee River” and “Annie Laurie,” and @ statement of the objects of the associa- tion by D. A. G. White. Hixtory of the Infantry. Ceptain Poweil tn his address told how the infantry came to be organized. For many years it had been the custom of the military of Baltimore to have a grend parade on the anniversary of the battle of North Point, which was fought on the 12th of September, 1812. During the sum- mer of 1836 the soldier boys of Baltimore plenned a railroad excursion to Washing- ton over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad that had so recently been opened between the two cities. Correspondence followed and details were arranged; Washington had no military compe to receive the visitors. So a number of citizens cal meeting for the formation of a cor with the result that in thirty days the Washington Light Infantry was fully or- ganized, uniformed and equipped and pa- raved nineteen muskets on the 12th of Sep- tember, “It was a great day for Washington,” said Captain Powell. “Business was al- most suspended. Many decorations were to be seen on the houses, and the citizens turned out in great numbers to give a welcome to the Visitors. The parade was formed of military and civic organiza and u Yr escort of the infantry through many of the principal ‘stre ‘Apollo Hall,” a lai woocen structure on the south side of Pennsylvania avene between 18th and streets, in the si a large hall, wh had prepared a_ big sy ot everyting good to cat and drink, the soldiers and their Baltimere fri: iting with them were royally tained. “From that day the infantry boys were the favorit of our citizen and from them always received generous recognition apd support.’ The infantry took part, at the corner stone Weshington monument and at its dedica- tien; was present at the funeral at Arling- ten of George Washington Parke Custis enter- the speaker said, monies of the Where they fired a salute at his grave. The infantry responded April 9, IS61, to General Scott's cail for men to defend Washington, and served three months as volunteers, doing “good service, many of the men re-enlisting for three years. In 1s71, the war having disbanded the com- pany, @ reorganization was effected. The Reorganized Infantry, “The first parade of the new organization occurred,” said Capt. Clark, “on the morn- ing of the 4th of July, 1871. The Oldest Inhabitants’ Association, marshaled by Mr. J. T. C, Clark, met at 8 o'clock in front of the city hall, about 100 members being present. Company A of the Washington Light Infantry assembled at their armory on Pennsylvania avenue between 6th and ith streets officered by Capt. Wm. G. Moore and Lieuts. Richard Lewis and Oscar B, Hough. Headed by the battalion drum corps, the company, numbering sixty, rank and file, marched to the city hail, where a beautiful flag was presented to the company. escorting the Oldest nis’ Associa tion, marched by way of 7th street to the whart and embarked on the steamer Ar- row, Capt. Stackpole, for an excursion to umbering about 400, he appearance of company A in their ht new uniforms calied out a great crovd of citizens to see the soldiers—the first that had appeared on our streets since the close of the war. The uniform consist ed of high cap surmow with a white pompon, short dark blue coat with white trimmings and white duck trousers for the men and blue cloth tro = for the officers. “The exercises at Mt. Vernon in front of the tomb were as follows: Prayer by Rev. Septimus Tustin; reading of the Declara- tion of Independence by J. Carrol Brent; address by Dr. John B.

I. to return at once to this city immediately after the celebration Mt. Vernon, at Mt. Vernon, but Capt. Stackpole said he would take them to Marshall Hall, on the opposite side of the river, whence, he stated, the steamer Wawaset would convey his passengers to Washington. ‘As no permission had been obtained from the governor Mar¥land to land troops within the limits of the state, the military were marched on the pier, where they stacked arms and were requested by Capt. Moore not to go on the soil of Maryland for the reasons stated. While the infantry were waiting on the wharf a thunder storm arose and the rain feil in torrents until the were thoroughly soaked. ‘Soon after this time, while Marcus Bell, a colored man, and the armorer of company A was proceeding quietly along the pier to the shore, having a bucket in his hand, a young rowdy threw a piece of buttered bread In his face, and upon the colored man remonstrating,commenced a tirade of abuse against him, threatening to “pitch the black — — into the river.” The colored man, seeing the character of the fellow, held his peace, and went on his way toward the dancing pavilion, still followed by the rowdy, who finally struck at him. Still, de- siring to avoid difficulty, the colored man started to run and was immediately pur- sued by half a dozen drunken roughs. One of them seized a large stone and threw it, striking the negro on the head and felling lim. Immediately the prostrate man was set upon by the rufilans, one of whom kicked him as he lay, while another struck him with a rock on the head. Finally re- gaining his feet he again started to run, calling loudly for help, and was again per- sued, some shouting ‘Kill the nigger!” “Throw him in the river!” “No damned * ete. A Lively Fight. ‘The ruffians, among whom were two brothers named Greenwell, Jim Wells, a fellow named Jarvis and Reddy Doyle, had again caught the colored man, and half a dozen were beating him at once, when Licut. Crandell and Sergt. McBlair of company C of the infantry, several members of com- pany A aad two or three others ran from the pier for the purpose of rescuing the col- ored man from the clutches of his a: ants. They were immediately set upon by the roughs, who cried: “Down w th the “Don’t let"'em land!” “Come ss and form in line! “Kill the sol- etc., etc. The fight then began in earnest. Lieut. Crandell laid out one of the roughs In good style, but was instantly knocked down himself and set upon by three or four of them, seeing which, Sergt. McBlair, who carried’ a musket with fixed bayonet, charged them, driving them back, and inflicted a painful wound In the hand of one and in the ribs of another. The bat- tle now raged furiously for several rods aleng the beach. “The ruffians fought desperately, with their fists and with rocks, and for a time it looked as if they would drive their op- ponents on the pfer.
