Delaware street, between Fourth and

crowd of colored citizens had congregated at
the Opera House corner to listen to the soul.

cornet band, which was engaged in drum
ming up an audience for the evenings per
formanoe. Three young gentlemen, one
from the fort and the other two from the
city, seeing the close, compact. and swaying
crowd which surroun led the musicians,
though il would be fine fun to get up some
kind Of an excitement which would not only
scatter the gaping throng but furnish amuse-
ment for the hundreds of white brethren who
gazed from the neighboring sidewalk. Ac-
cordingIy the two put their heads together
in consultation, and having decided upon
plan proceeded TO put it in execution. They
purchased several dollars worth
of Chinese cannon crackers and
standing in some out of the way place
lighted them one by one and pitched them
among the crowd. Several persons were Sc
verely burned by the explosion Of the huge
crackers in their vicinity, and as the null
sance was not ahated, the crowd began TO
break little and several of the wounded,
smarting with pain and blackened with
powder, set themselves to work looking up
the offenders. A colored man liz the en-
ploy of q. " Barns succeeded in catching
one of the =, nps in the act of throwing

pavement and gave him thorough drub

companion was getting his ust deserts,
thought discretion the better part Of valor"
and took sleg bail'' for the upper part of
town. The crowd by this time had become
fearfully excited, and as the cu!prits became
distinguished from the rest by their flying
heels, they were pursued by hundred or
more enrag ed darkies. One of the fugitives
was tripped up on the sidewalk before he
had gone a half block, and if the police had
not come 10 his assistance he would have
been pounded TO jelly. The remaining
one of the trio had, during the chase, crept
unohserved into n neighboring store and
seeking refuge in an empty dry goods box,
he remained there till the storm had blown
over, and whe. became sufficiently dark

CARBOHYDRATES.
THE wALwORrH TRIAL,

New York, July AT the Walworth
trial to-day large crowd was present. Dis
trict Attorney Phelps, in hi, argument for
the prosecution, coniroverted the claims Of
the defense that the prisoner was affected by
either epilepsy or insanity. Afer Phelps
concluded, Mr.. O'Connor, for the defen-e,
made several requests to the Judge 10 charge
the jury, including one that he charge that
the facIs IA proven do not show a deliberate
purpose To murder; that if the accused be-
lieved the deceased To he desperate it mill
tates against TIE theory OF murder in frst
degree, AMI il the art was the result
of terror, it was not murder in the second
degree; that as four shots were fired, and as
the prisoner vas only conscious of firing
three, and a. no proof is given which of the
four was fatal, the jury must acquit; that if
he was in state Of epiIeptic insanity, he is
not responsible, and if he was in a state of
terror, which overcome him, the jury must
acauit. The court then took recess, after
which Judge Davis delivered his charge to
the jury. and called attention to the new Law
under which the trial has taken place, and
which makes it necessary thst q deliberate
purpose and premeditation should exist be-
fore a verdict of murder in the first degree
could be given. Judge Davis said il the jury
we're satisfied from the evidence that young
Walvorth came to New York with the in.
tention to murder his father then the crime
was murder in the first degree, but il the
crime was committed in q sudden manner,
in an instant, then it would he murder in
the second degree. Judge Davis continuing
said that the ce;en.e was two fOld-first, that
the prisoner vas insane at the time Of the
act, and secondly that the act was done in
self defense. The second he proceeded to
consider first, and warned the jury that there
we're no such crimes known to Law as parri-
eide or mairicide or fratricide, however we'll
the names might be u.ed in common con-
yersaiiop; nOr was this court to take
into consideration the laws Of ancient Greece,
or Rome, or China, where special laws were
enacted for the punishment of those Who
killed their parents. In the eyes Of the Law
this crime was no greater than the killing Of
q stranger; therefore, the same rules were to
be adopted - in trial for the killing Of .
person other than his father, and the prisoner

to the question of justification. His Honor

whether fear that h1 mothers life vas in
