Annoyed the Salvationists

New York, 1895

The Salvation Army headquarters on the Rockaway road, Jamaica, was the scene of another row on Sunday evening. The trouble commenced when Lieutenant Taylor caused a young man to be ejected from the building for making a disturbance. There was a large crowd outside of the building who used the vilest language, insulted the women and threatened Taylor with bodily harm if he came out. John Leonardi started to leave the building but was met by the gang and obliged to retreat into the meeting room. Officers Ashmead and Isenbrandt were sent for and they quickly dispersed the crowd. Monday complaint was made to Justice Hendrickson who issued warrants for several of those who took part in the disturbance.
