After doing considerable damage by smashing in doors and tearing up rail¬ ing, he crossed to Broadway, and prom¬ enaded for a while between Chambers and Franklin streets, finally passing dow-n Duane st. to the North River, where, (after failing to avail himself of ihe Hobokeu Hotel's " entertainment for man and beast," only because the door was'nt large enough,) he was captured by his keejier and taken quietly back to his lodgings.
