Association had been bought by the
Railroad Company, and the other
officers advertised that they repudiated
their colleagues transactions. At
seven O'Clock both parties had mus
tered several hundred supporters anda
free fight took place for the possession
Of the platform. AS all the persons
engaged were "Emcralders, and con-
siderable whisky had been imbibed the
result may be better imagined than
described. Revolvers, brickbats, shilla-
labs, knives and rocks were used withad-
mirable effect. The Presidents friends
who had taken the stage repulsed two
desperate Gettysburg charges, eyes
were gouged, teeth knocked out, re-
v~olvers drawn, and n posse of police
had to be hastily summoned to prevent
Erinicide. An election for a National
President could not give rise to more
bitter feeling than this simple question
! Of a railroad subsidy has done. The
small politicians scent dollars OIL the
| breeze, and are working "pro" and
soon" with great assiduity. The
Democracy are squarely opposed to
the proposition, but Notwithstanding
their hostility the chances are that the
amount will be voted.
There must have been q fighting
atmosphere abroad for the past few
days. To say nothing Of the quiet
| shot Frank Medina took at John Allen,
late leader of the Metropolitan orches-
ira, OH Montgomery street, wednesday
! afternoon, the general unpleasantness
has extended to official circles. Horace
| Dunn denies ex-senator Mandeville's
right to s~upercede him as Commissioner
Of Immigration, Fire Commissioner
Reynolds sharply disputes the right Of
the other members to keep-Republicans
in the Department, and the Hon.
| Thomas Ryan falls foul Of Supervisors
| Ashbury and Caravan about Il state
ment made by them ut the last meeting
of the Board. The public do not take
much interest in these small quarrels,
but they are watching with attention
the fight for the position of Chief in
the Fire Department. The rival can
didates are the present incumbent,
| Frank Whitney, and Dave Scannell,
we'll known to many Gold Killers as
| Sheriff in Vigilance Committee days,
and afterwards head of the volunteer
fire organization. Whitney Is well
liked BY insurance agents and business
men Scannell has powerful influence
and hosts Of friends; so the result Is
too dubious for speculation.
The telegraph will have already an
nounced the suspension of d. Ghirar-
delli & Co., prominent Italian mer-
chants, for $500, 900. l believe q
proposition will be made to compromiSe
with creditors for IS cents OH the dol
lar, payments to be extended over
three years.
Arrival OF Australians.
The arrival of the Idaho yesterday
noon from Honolulu, with 40 burly,
Britons as passengers, created quite M
excitement on the streets. The pioneer
Australian steamer Wonga Wonga
only came as far as the Islands, con-
Meeting there with the North Pacific
Transportation Company's boat. All
the Australian passengers are ell route
to England. The time from Sydney
to San Francisco has been forty days,
including two days detention at Homo
lulu. In conversation with one Of the
newcomers, he stated that much dis
satisfaction Is expressed at the fares
from here being higher than they were
led to expect. The Australian papers
advertised through fare from San Fran
cisco to Liverpool for $75, but they
find it will cost at least $50 more. The
trip was a very pleasant one, with fine
weather throughout, and they espe-
cially enjoyed the stoppage ut Homo
lulu. Some twenty of the passengers
remained over there until the next
boat.
Gossip.
Mrs. Kate Armstrong, the lady who
was expelled from church communion
on account of her connection with the
theaters, had a complimentary benefit
rendered her last night at Mozart Hall.
She appeared as Constance Belmore"
In One Touch Of Nature, and Il large
audience testified by their presence n
disapproval Of the persecution to which
she La. been subjected. The Metro
politan Thcatcr will have 4 slice taken
off 1t by the extension of Montgomery
street, but the proprietor proposes to
change the entrance from front to rear.
and this most comfortable house In the
city will greatly gain by the change.
Emelie Melville's temporary absence
makes quite q void at the California.
Richard Carroll, author of Ny Father
SorlR Charcoal, Is on his way here
from the East, and Barnum, the prince
Of humbugs, will shortly arrive OH a
lecturing tour, to raise money for some
Connecticut endowment. The pros
pectus for the Mercantile Library lot
terry scheme will soon be Issued
200, 900 shares at S. each; first prize
800, 900 In gold coin, second q valuable
city lot, together with 600 smaller
plums for lucky winners. Miss Cleve-
land, an Australian actress, remained
at Honolulu; and Walter Montgomery
did not come on, rs was expected.
The billiard match for the champion
ship Of the Pacific coast and 4 gold
| cue commenced OIL Wednesday. Deery
and Wright are the betting favorites,
and pretty certain to beat all other
| competitors. Eugene Mccarthy, who
so charitably paid 800, 900 to get the
mortgage tax repealed, was sued yes
tcrday for libel by one Reardon, who
says that Eugene charged him with
stealing a black and tan terrier dog;
which shows that it is safer to bride
the Legislature Of n sovereign State
than express an opinion.
