ON EACH OTHER.-The Corn Exchange Is place
whereat the merchants OF the city are accus.
toned to assemble each day, for the purpose OF
dlsposing OF their ware9. They sell usually on
commission; and, every day. grain, produce, and
liquor, representing many thousands OF dollars
in value, pass from hand to hand by symbol.
Although these transactions are ordinarily
peaceful they are nevertheless, now aud then
attended with slight alterations. These OF late
have become so common that some OF the
solid" men have declared that they scarcely
think il dignifed to be seen in the neiChbOr
hood. And now and then the more boisterOus
individuals have been known 10 resort to blows.
An incident OF this last character happened
this morning, Three well-known commission
merchants we're standing together in a group
They we're discussing the prospects of disposiDg
OF their wares 10 good advantage, when NO.
suggested to No. 2 that perhaps No. might wish
to purchase some hquOr. No. 2 replied, some
what ndscreCtly, to the effect that he wouldn't
sell 20 No 3, mutterng something about a viO-
latiOn OF obligations, and insnuating that No.
was the guilty party.
No. 3 thereupon informed No 2, in the bland.
est possible tone, that he, No. 2, was liar This
aroused the iul measure OF the wrath OF No. 2,
who proceeded to knock No. 3 down. and when
the latter had meekly risen to his feet, the eX-
pertinent was repeated. The operation was
repeated several times, Done of the bystanders
deeming it worth their while to interfere.
Fortunately nobody was hurt, but the affair
created great stir among the "soid" men,
many of wbom swore roundly that ii such a
scene was ever enacted in their presence sgain,
wavs of the Corn Exchange.
We commend their resolution, and hope they
will have he spirit to carry 1t out. II the ro Wdy
element is to reign supreme on Change, 1t Will
be better for the sober, respectable portion Of
the mercantile community to lind some other
resort in the future.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT-Mr. Frank Simon,
for twelve years past foreman In Howell u Bro
Tiers wall paper mandatory, at Washington
avenue aud T~enty-thlrd streets, met with
shocking and fatal accident this morning at the
mills. 1t seems that he was engaged in eXanin-
ing the machinery, when his lower limbs be-
came entangled in the belting, and before he
could be reached, had his brains dashed out
against one of the joists OF the building.
MIR. Simon leaves a widow and large family to
greve over his untimely death. He was about
forty-fye years of ace, and resided in Twelfth

CONDITION OF OUR STRFETs.-Notwith-

| some OF our streets are In Il very unsavory con.
ditlon. More especially is this the case in the

| that locality. In addition to the muddy aud
| dirty streets, there Is great remlssness in re-
| moving the ashes and other waste that is lett
there to ierment and rare pestilential stencil.
In order that the city may continue to have

appears to be.

to the Paramount Water Works. made love to
some tools and took them to his bosom. He
was watched, however, and arrested and taken
before Alderman Hutchinson who held in $500

FELL IN THE STREET.-Officer Brown, OF
the harbor police, was taken ill and fell down in
