Cutting ARRAY.
A MAN HACKED UP IN DRUNKEN DRAwL, Last
NIGHT.

A MAN HACKED UP IN DRUNKEN pRAwL, LAsT
NIGHT.
Last night, fight occurred in Madison streets
between Front and Chestnut, about o'clock in
which one Of the parties was severely and Sc
riously cut in different parts ofIthe body. 1t is
impossible to relate the full particulars, accu-
rately, but we give them as best we could obtain
them.
It seems that William MoOlintOek, who resides
at 429 East Second street, was over in the locai-
ty above mentioned, and in passing two men on
the street, q man named Belts and Clement
Chance who board in the house insfront OF which
tbe affray occurred, remarked rather denantly
that he could whip any man in the city If he
hadn't but one ARM" As this was Chances cor
dition the remark was construed into challenge
for him to fight, and Belts sent Ohsncs mic
the house and undertook to do battle
for him. A hard hand to hand engagement
lasted for some time between Belts and McClln-
took, when they drew knives, and the ARRAY
becane more desperate. Several very serious
wounds were inflicted upon McCintocks person,
among which were deep gashes in the back OF
the neck, across the spine, two in the rlgnt leg
and one in the left. One Of the wounds IN the
right leg was through the heshy part, and the
tendons were severed. Belts was also somewhat
cut.
At the end Of the fight McClintock was remov-
ed to the passenger room of the W. d. Il. depot
where his wounds were dressed, and he was then
removed to his home. Both the men are said to
have been drunk.

New CASTLE. Dec 2G.
The Trustees of the Commons met on We'd
nesday evening. No business of importance was
transacted.
Yesterday was an unusually noisy Christmas
for New Castle Many of our people won't over
in the evening to see Maggie Mitchell.
-Four large schooners arrived at our wharyes,
during Wednesday aud yesterday, we suppose
for freights OF grain from w. II. Jefferson Il Co.
A young man named Lesley, from Philadel-
phia, while on the edge Of the long wharf with
some friends from the same city, was accidently
pushed into the water. As he was unable to
swim aud his friends not able to render any as
sistRnco, he would probably have drowned had
not yArl boon passing at the time and rescued
him from his dangerous situation.
The Water Works Co., yesterday, paid OIL their
men engaged in repairing, enlarglng and ex-
tending their pipes both i'll town and at the
basin OF course there were many happy faces
at the office over their acceptable Christmas
presents.
The Buell. Family, who so delighted us few
weeks ago, will give another of their concerts in

They return at the request of many who did not

sing on New Years night to full house,.
B. S. Jones, an employee in tho umbrella lao
tory of Metz, Buel 4 o., and formerly of Will

upon hia face in tho backyard of his residence
where he lived alone. He was quito dead. De

NEW ARRANGEMENT PROPOSED.
The Philadelphia letter in the Germanton Tel.

at is believed that at the annual meeting of
the American Steamship Company new policy
will be adopted The enormous concentration
Of steamships at N0wYo gives to that city a
daily steamer for Europe which has the advan-
tage Of drawing both freight and passengers.
1t has therefore been determined to have a
weekly departure from Philadelphia and in or
der to secure this an arrangement has been
made with tho He'd Star Liverpool limo to ensure
common running arrangement 10 that the
ships will loave at regular weekly periohs. As
the mausgers Of that line, Peter Wright ~ Sons,
are about to build two enormous steamers OF
five thousand tOng oach, we shall have u semi
weekly line. The irn is also an old and we'll
established one IN tho Liverpool trade with nu-
inerous frlonds and customers, aud by uniting
the whole of the vessels there will be no cUmpe-
tition The prospect is, therefore, that the
American Company will earn and pay diYi-
lsnd. Wright ~ Sons are the agents and prin-
1lpai owners Of tue International line, in which
soma OF the leading capitalists OF the Pennsyl-
yania lnroad are largely interested. Tho bus
mess OF the Railroad Company has been Largely

UNEXPECTED BANKRUPTCY OF wELL-KNoWN olrl-
ZEN.
Salem, N j., is agtated over the failure of one
o tho most prominent capitalist in that section
of the State, George NJ. Ward. He is Quaker,
and like many of his faith in Now Jersy, Dem
ocrat and WAS regarded as confidential arso-
ciate Of the Camden h Amboy regime during the
n1lmy daya of that monopoly His assets are
stated at $50 00 and liabilities, as far as asGer
tained at $50 900 with more to come in. inc
Standard says the failure created widespread
astonishment, and that it seems to be without
extenuating circumstances While he must have
known that lie was bankrupt, he seems to have
absorbed every dollar that came within hls reach
until his eDts have accumulated 80 onoimpu5Y
that his estate will scarcely more than pay the
mortgage against it. On account OF his hgh
reprtation. many estates hld been conided to
his care, and oftener than any one else IN Salon
county, he was selected agent, sxeculor,trus-
tee and guardian Thus scores OF conliding per-
sons lose heavily.
