One hundred thou namr men. women and cbililreu of the Hebrew faith .thronged one narrow East Side street few clays ago to express their great grief for the death of their beloved rabbi. Jacob Joseph, late head of the orthodox Hebrew con gregations of the United States. It was a most remarkable demonstration of sorrow. Its like has never before lieen seen in New York. Fourteen yeans ego to the very day (according to-tn Jewish calendar! saw the streets of the lowej- pall of this city dark with a great masa of hu manity welcoming the holy man to these tdiore. From WHua, Kusnia. he came, and thousand, who had heard of his fame as a piou and learned man. and as a clarion-tongued preach er aud singer of the dvout chants of the synagogue, poured out to greet him. And those same thousands, augmented by scores of other thousands, .have followed him to the grave. As the cortege was passing the big Hoe Printing Press Factory at Jlrand ferry to Brooklyn, the fiercest riot in the history of the East Side was pre cipitated. Some workmen, oblivions to the re spect due to tha dead, aud incapable of nrmreoiatinz the nious grief of the "i'',m alu! ,UL. ,nV. f niouruiug turon. to throw missiles at the procession.

The large force of police who vere called out did not hesitate to use both lists and clubs. An impromptu meeting was held on the East tide and arrangements made for a monster gathering o protest against the alleged police brutality. At a meeting of business and profes sional men. of the East Side, it was determined to organize an investigating committee to take testimony for the purpose of punishing those who were responsible for the riot ind for al leged police brutality.
