FIREMEN's Row.-Yesterday morning about
220 o'clock, whilst the Franklin Engine and
Niagara Hose Companies were proceeding to
the fire at Twelfth and Marks lane disgrace
full riot occurred at Fifth and Pine streets.
Peter Ehrenburg, better known as Pete Pretzel,
drew a revolver and fired four shots into the
crowd, but fortunately none took effect. The
fight thus started was kept up until Ninth and
SAMSON streets was reached where a regular
riot ensued, pistols, knives, and clubs being
freely used. Ehrenberg and man named Smith
were both shot, but as to the extent of their
injuries we have been unable to ascertain. Both
of these companies have been sus pended at diffe-
rent times, and it was through their quarrelling
that the man Burns was killed some time ago.
BEAT WoMAN.-James Valley last night, at
Eleventh and Callowhill streets, made furious
assault on Mary Christopher, who lives in that
vicinity. Mary was knocked down, kicked
about and arose with q pair of black eyes.
Valley for the offense was held in 5000 bail by
Alderman Massey. The cause of the attack was
owing to information by Mary of a certain
highway robbery said to have been committed
by the accused. Yesterday morning he was
arrested and arraigned on the charge of the rob
berry, but no witnesses appearing he was dis
charged. Fired with anger, he went to the resi-
al rplatPd
above.
A HEAVY DAYS WoRK.-The trains on the
Philadelphia Germantown and Norristown Rail-
road were yesterday crowded to excess. The
gentlemanly and efficient superintendent, Mr..
w. s. Wilson, during the past few months has
had constructed a number of fine cars in order
to accommodate the increasing passenger
traffic. but nevertheless the accommodations
are hardly sufficient. What adds to the number
of passengers is the fact that all the now in
use are neat and comfortable. Some years ago
q ride in those then used was anything but
agreeable. As the matter now stands, it Is a
matter of regret with the passenger when the
end of the route is reached
ASSAULT WITH BLACKJACKs.-Last night, at
Sixth and Spruce streets, a drunken man was
arrested by Officer John Mccormick. While on
the way to the station the fellow, assisted by
several other roughs, assaulted the officer with

Berkhardt was arrested on the charge, and, on
held in $1,000 bail to answer. Two other men,
giving the names of Arthur Peters and Joshua
Harkins, were arrested for completely in the
affair, and were held by the same Alderman In
