A SPECK OF WAR.
The south street BridRe-The Oontractor and
his Men Confronted by n Force of Railroad
Empioyes-The Chiefs UBder Ball.

The South Street Brldge-The Contractor and
his Men Confronted by n Force Of Railroad
Empioyss-The Chiefs Under Ball.
The progress of the work on the South Street
Bridge, like that on all great improvements
Utde the public buildings and the beautifying of
South Broad street-is constantly beset with
obstacles. The greatest of these to the improve
ment in question is the pertinacious opposition
which the railroad companies show towards il.
Their determined obstinacy again cropped out
on Saturday afternoon last.
Contractor John II. Murphy ordered a score
OF laborers to commence digging the founda-
tions OF the west pier of the bridge, between the
tracks of the Junction and Media Railroad
Companies under the construction which the
Commission give to the act of Assembly, that it
had there the right of way, and that the ground
lying between the tracks was not in the posses
sion of the Media and Junction Railroad Com
pany. just as the men had completed trench
about twenty feet long and two feet deep, they
were surprised by the appearance on the scene
of about two score of laborers and attaches of
the railroad company, and by the brusque an
nouncement from the leader:-''You ou fellows had
better stop, or there'll be trouble" There was
sharp exchange of words, but the bridge men,
in no way intimidated, resumed their work
They were again ordered to cease, the injunc-
tion from the chief of the opposition being ac-
companied by the alarming statement:-'1f you
don't stop, there will be five hundred boys on
you" Then the railroad men approached to
carry the trench by storm, The upraised picks
of Murphy's men intimidated them, and they
drew back.
At this moment arrived on the scene Charles
r. Pugh, superintendent of the road, and
William Atkinson, its supervisor, who COM
meneed parley with Murphy, claiming that he
was trespaesing on. the property of the road, and
unless he desisted they would have him locked
up. Murphy shook his head, and soon after was
arrested and taken before Alderman Dougherty
and held in $1,000 bail to answer for q breach of
the peace in trespassing on the railroad. Later
in the afternoon he had Messrs. Pugh and
Atkinson taken in charge, and by Alderman
Randall. West PhiladelDhia held i'm @500 hail
each for interfering with the work of the South
Street Bridge contractor, acting under the
directions of the commission.
The question as to the right of way will this
week be brought up in court, q decision of which
is necessary to the progress of this Important
improvement. Fortunate was IL that, under the
sanguine Murphy and bellicose Pugh and
Atkinson, no blood was shed.

THE FIREMEN OF MANAYUNK.-S Since the
passage of the Paid Fire bill the Manayunk Fire
Company has persisted in running out their
apparatus when no alarm was given. On the
evening of the 9Th inst. they ran down Main
street TO Wissahickon, and thence to Hippeps
lane. Police Lieutenant Kelly having received
instructions that in case they ran out to arrest
some of the parties, he set about capturing the
director, and this he did on Green lane. The
prisoner was held in $500 bail to keep the
peace by Alderman Dehm. On Sunday after
noon Policemen Welsh and Ballister who were
concerned in the arrest of the director were set
upon by some of the fremen. man named
Andrew Rowley held Poll ceman Welsh, while
