THE AEFRAY AT ARLINGTON YEsrERpAy.-Be.
| low we give the version of this affair Furnished
| by friends Of Mr. Callan:
About six o'clock last evening. inst az the Go,
man singing societies were about leaving the
springs for home, fight sprung ND between two
americans, who, 1t seems, had been patronizinp
the lager beer department rather too freely 'rhe
TWO me crac ked away at eaC other till they man
aged, by simultaneous effort To knock each other
down; and while they lay on the ground fighting
number of men rushed up to part them among
| them MIR. Fred. Callan, step-son of Nichols CAT
Ian, Esq, Of this city who succeeded in pulIin.r
the top man off his antagonist and dragging him
a~ay a lew steps; Al this moment the proprietor
oil The grounds, Mr.. Beveridge, rushed IN with n
companion named Lew Goldsmith. and Beveridpe
dealt young Callan blow over the face will =
StunS-shot which laid his right cheek open. and
rendered him for a moment senseless Wbile en-
deavoriBg to keep off his assailants, Mr.. G. was
yostled about in very unceremonious manner NV
Beveridge and Goldsmith. and some one I'm the
cIow '', at.ehpted 10 rob him of his watch. A
ground, hearing Of his situation, rushed in and
took him out Of their hands in time To prevent
tne ocCutrcnce Of anything more serious The
slung- shot with which Callan was struck was ar
rewards picked up on the spot
Nois-HappeniDg TO see much Of this fracas
oufseli we may not lnapprOprately add further cx
plantations upon il. The difficulty commenced in
males, females and children. A huge 6ghtiuT
man" OF Washington essayed 10 make a mus
thefe, and one OF tue agents of the proprietor nm
dertook to remove him from the grounds In so
doing several young nIen-not one Of whom we
Imagine, knew aught Of the previous occurrences
or, fhdetd, OF the man being forcibly renewed
essa.d to rescue the latter from the person remoy
ing MIN; or as thy evidently supposed to part
two persons who We're fighting they had inst
succeeded In separating them, when Beyerid oe
and one or two of his men belonging on the Dre,n
Lss canie ana handled the rescuers as severely
as explained above. Oar impression is, that thus
There were mistakes on both sideS-on the mari of
those interfering to take the dsturber ont of the
hapds OF the man eBdeavOTing ~ remove him
nom the grounds, and on the part of Beyeridge
and his assistants in imagining that the interfer
cnce was as friends and supporters uf the dstu,e,
THIS occurrence should teach the proprietcrs OF
the place the necessity Of keeping on the premises
regular virginia police officer, who NAV have
la~iGl authority to arrest any dsturier of the
peace there, and to summon any posse he choos,
To assist him in so doing when that NAV be nec.s
saIy we doubt not that the proprietof's purposa
was, ere he became maddened with ragc simniv
10 preserve the peace of the premises. But he
soon Went ln' much more after the fashion Of
inc states Hose than after that Of officer Of
the law. The privilege of using a slung shot or
billy IN such crowd is not one to be lily htly ac
corded, ner under any circumstance TO men who
arc known as successful bruisers. We are anxious
70 see tee aflngton spring well managed. as it
has been this season up 10 last evening; for if
well managed, 1t can hardly fail TO add not little
To the substantial comfort of the District of Co
tnInbia But unless its police regulations are only
OF
course those who would have assurance of return
ing from picnic with unCracked skull will
be 10th to venture over there.
