Chairs In the Air.

The Kings County General Committee met last
night at their rooms In Washington street. and
wound up their proceedings In free hight. It was
general ''knOck down and drag cut the chairs
being used by some ef the meIAbefs as weapons
The reporters were compelled to take refuge in
little cutter room in order TO escape broken heads.
THIS LITTLE UNPLEAsANTNEss
has been brewing for ssme time past and last night
being the last meeting of the committee. some of
the members thought they would improve the op.
portuny OF settling their differences by resortng
to their muscle
the committee appointed to reorganze the Ninth
Ward Association. Mr. Fisher attempted to sup
rupted by Mr.. Davenport and Others who shouted
to him to ''shut up;
and a dead one at that.r Mr.. Fisher repIied In
terms equally complimentary. In this round no
blood was drawn. The report was laid on the table.
There was n motion 70 change two OF the in
spectors OF election in the Sixteenth ward. This
ward Is represented IN the committee by Jacob
the Assembly In 1863 Two OF the inspectors
twas said, We're not sound republicans, and in
Justice 10 the republicans OF the ward, Mr.. Fisher
Thought the committee should remove them and ap-
point substitutes.
Mr.. GEORGE 9. BENNETT, chairman, ruled the sub
ject out OF order.
Mr.. JACOB WORTH opposed the matter. and at
tempted TO explain the Affairs Of the the ward and
the motives which led to the objection to these
Colonel CHARLES MORTON seconded by f. D.
WEBSTER, appealed from the decision OF the Chair
and claimed that
THE INTERESTS THE PARTY
demanded settlement of the question. The ques-
ton as TO whether the general committee had power
TO remove these men had caused a great deal of
trouble.
Mr.. WORTH called Mr.. Morton to order for stating
what was not true.
Mr.. MoRroN-What state Is true.
Mr.. WORTH repeat that it is not true, and defy
the gentleman TO prove II.
Mr. MoRToN-If you say so again I'll knock you
down.
MI. WoRTH-The HI you will You had better
try 1t
Mr. MORTON, without any more ado, rushed at Mr..
Worth ana
PLANTED HIS BUNCH OF FIvEs
between Mr.. Worths eyes, causing them TO turn
purple. Worth returned the blow and countered on
Mr.. Mortons nose. Then the men cllnched and
STRUGGLED FOR THE FALL;
but the crowd about them too compact and
they could not get down. About this time some OF the
other members took a hand in, while others jumped
upon the benches or fed from the room. Two
chairs were hurled by some one among the crowd,
the police were called for ana the scene was one OF
wild confusion. One man who did not belong TO
the committee but who had just dropped in, was
KNOCKED DOWN WITH A CHAIR
and severely injured and while Morton and Worth
were struggling together to settle the question some
one turned OF the gas, and the row broke up.

On oranges, lemons, &c, there shall be allowance
for decay the voyage, unless the loss shall exceed
twenty-five per cent OF The quantity, anu then the

The same section OF the law also provides that 80
much OF section fifty nine Of the act OF March Q,
1884, authorizes certain allowances for leakage
and breakage on imported wines and liquors, is
thereby repealed, and only actual breakage and

EVERY SATURDAY No. IL, for April
%, contains pictorial supplement OF
remarkable attractiveness and great
merit as a work of art. 1t represents
Edwin Booth as Hamlet, aud will be
recognized by all who have ever seen
the great tragedian in his favorite char
acter, as striking admirable likeness.
The artistic excellence of the picture
may be inferred from the fact that
it was drawn by Mr.. Hennessy and
engraved by Mr.. Linton. The next
number of Every Saturday will con-
tain as supplement a companion pic
ture, representing Mr.. Fechter as Ham
let.

SHEEP.-Tne sopply aItnopgh Somewhai
larger than Tor several weeks past. was small
nevertheless about 80 head: and as the offer
ings were mainly of q common grade, the ;mar,

Taking The qualitv o. the sheep into COZ sldera,

as last week; one lot OF very good wooied sheep
aveI aging 10 lbs, brought cents; and there
was anotner bunch on sale not near so s0od

falls off Hogs are relatively cheaper tnan

SPECIAL ELECTI> N.-At the special
election held on Tuesday for School Di-
rectors in this district, the following was
the vote:
DIRECTOR OR THREE YEARS,
George Brown, 11O votes, r. Il. Cham
bers, 8.
TO FILL VACANCY,
Alexis Cope, Ill, John H. Heaton, L,
George Brown, l.
The Gazette of last week said: at has
been agreed on all sides to hold another
election" aud in accordance with that
agreement Mr.. O.J. Swaney end j. f.
Chareswor;h, the leading cappers for
the Gazette wing of the Democracy,
busted themselves in getting up notices
for the new election. They soon learned,
however, that at the new election they
wsuld be worse beaten than before and
they then instructed their friends not
to vote. Mr.. Swaney said that they had
sure thing of it fer six months as it
was, and he didn't care whether any
other Director was elected or not as II e
could run the thing that long himself,
and they intended to fight the matter
in the District Court.
We would call the attention of these
petty usurpers to significant fact or
lwo in relation to this matter: Although
there was no contest at the election on
Tuesday the majority against them was
considerably increased, although fully
twenty persons refused to vote because,
as they said, there was no opposition,
who would have voted against them il
they'had stood up to the contest. AS it
is four-fifths of all the land in the Dis
trict and two-thirds of all the other pre-
certy are represented by the vote that is
polled against them. If after this EN-;
phatic condemnation Mr.. Chambers
shat persist in holding the Office te
W hicn he has not been elected, he will
manifest want of self respect, and 8
disregard for the opinions of the people
that will add little to his character as q
gentleman or a citizen.
