ing, in which one of Brooks cOlOred troops
was killed at the intersection OF Main and
Markham streets, about twenty shots were
tired in that part OF the city. Three of
Brooks colOred men were out recruiting.
They were encountered by q party of
Baxterites and fight ensued. About
twenty shots were fired but no one hurt.
The Brookites were captured and brought
to the guard house.
Captain Welch's company, who escaped
from the steamer Hattie yesterday, arrived
safely IN the Baxter camps to-day amid
the widest cheering. During the day the
federal troops have not only fortified Mark
ham street in front of the City Hail.. but
Elm street in the rear with dry goods
boxes. and have thrown up temporary
earthwOrks still in the rear Of that On the
back of the river.
The Baxter side this evening fixed bar
ricade extending from Elm street to the
river, fronting on Main street. Since ten
o'clock this morning the Baxter forces have
permitted no one to pass in or ont of their
lines without pass, and guards have been
placed several squares around the AnthOny
House, even as far down as Rock street.
The cartel between the opposing forces
came to an end at eight o'clock yesterday
by notice from General Cater
son, of the Brooks forces.
killed yesterday ON the steamer Hattie, was
buried at three O'Clock this evening; the
funeral was largely attended. The United
States flag in front of Governor Baxter's
headquarters is now drsped in mourning.
The trains on the Fort Smith railroad have
been stopped by the BrOOkites to prevent
members Of the Legislature and troops for
Baxter from coming to this city. All the
stores were closed to-day. There is no at
tempt to do any business. The women and
children living in the neighborhood of the
State house have moved away.
The ministers of the city have called on
the people to unite in services tomorrow to
God, to avoid bloodshed, and see that The
right prevail. All armed men found in the
Metropolitan Hotel yesterday were moved
out. and Colonel Rose placed guard at the
hotel. Nearly enough members of the Leg
islature have already arrived to make
quorum in both houses. Arrangements
have been made for the Legislature to meet
in one of the town halls outside the limits
of the State House. Baxter received sew
eral companies to-day to reinforce him, and
now has considerable force in the city.

He was born at AerOlsen, on the fifteenth

Dusseldorf. and he completed his studies
at Munich, where during the greater part
of his life he has resided. He is to Germa-

he excelled in oil painting as we'll as

he has given with his brush the beautiful

Goethe.

Summer Concerts at Grunewald Hall.


The close of the operatic and theatrical
season will draw the attention Of the music
loving public to the summer concerts to be
inaugurated next week. as above. The
object of these concerts is not mere mat
ter OF speculation, but to give employment
to such good musicians as have made the
city their home. and who, during the sum-
mer months, have but few chances of earn
ing livelihood.
The owner of the hall, Mr. L. Grunewald,
with his wonted liberality, has placed his
elegant place of amusement at the disposal
of the director of the concerts, Mr.. Robert
Meyer, with the understanding that the
receipts are to be applied toward paying
the musicians, and only in case OF a surplus
over expenses, Mr.. Grunewald will receive
a percentage Of such excess for the use OF
his hall.
Admittance to the concerts will be by
subscription only, and lists have been
opened at the principal music, book and
jewelry stores. The subscription price has
been fixed at s. per dozen tickets; good for
one series of twelve concerts; the first one
of which will be ON the eighteenth instant,
and the last one on the thirteenth of June.
No tickets will be sold at the door, nor can
subscribers obtain single tickets, ex-
cept through subscribers.
The concerts will take place on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evenings, CON-
mencing at eight o'clock each night. The
programme will be changed at every con-
cert, and will consist principally of orches-
trail pieces, such as overtures and pot
pouris from operas. parts of classic gems,
dances (among these the newest works Of
Strauss, the dance king, as performed by
him at Vienna), instrumental solos with
piano and orchestra accompaniments, vocal
solos, etc.
The supper room, adjoining the concert
hall, will be fitted up as an ice cream and
refreshment saloon, under the management
of one of our most popular cOnfectioners.
There will also be q gentlemen's smoking
room over the upper floor leading to the
gallery. Between the pieces performed
there will be intermissions Of from ten to
fifteen minutes for promenade, conversation
or refreshments. Properly managed, these
concerts will prove delightful summer enter
tainments, and will be to US what the gar
den concerts of Thomas are to New Workers..

,he Arkansas Case In the Cabin.

The Arkansas Case In the Cabinet.
WAsHISGTON, May 9.-The Cabinet was
in session for nearly two hours yesterday,
during which the Arkansas question was
under consideration. 1t was expected that
the general government would have made
some decision in response to the many ap-
p]ications therefor from representatives of
the contending factions in this case, bat no
conclusions have been reached here as yet.
The decision Of the Supreme Court favor.
ing the Brooks side of the case, in such d1
rect ntradictionto the previous decision
that the Legislature had exclusive control
of the question, has the effect to augment
the difficulty under which the general gov
ernment rests in arriving at solution of
the vexed question.
This new phase of the matter was talked
of at some length in the Cabinet session,
and the reversal Of the former opinion of
the Supreme Court of the State occasioned
surprise. No member of the Cabinet has
made definite and positive expression of
opinion on the subject
All the papers that have been presented
in the case we're read. There may be some
decision to day, but there is no certainty of
it, as the attorneys of the different parties
are continually sending kilograms, and pre-
senting new points and arguments that they
are anxious to have considered.
A Cabinet officer said yesterday afternoon
that the gOvernmentWas heartily tired of
the controversy, and when it's decision is
made proclamation will be issued which
all will understand must settle the case.
Later.
The representatives of the Arkansas
factions are in conference with the Attor-
ney General. II they fail to come to an
agreement the Attorney General is author
ized to issue orders. The negotiations will
not close until midnight. There are in
timations that Mr.. Williams leans to Bax-
ter Seven millions in railroad bonds are
involved, in which, it is said, the Arkansas
officials have slice. The source of the
trouble seems that Baxter was refractory
about issuing them.
A Little Affair in the Morning.
LITTLE ROCK, May 6.-At halfpast eight
o'clock this morning two Baxter men,
standing near the southwest corner OF Main
and Markham streets, walked across the
street toward three or four Brooks men, all
cOlored. One OF the latter pulled out a
pistol and fired at the Baxter men, rushing
into the middle of the street as he did 80.
The fire was returned and the negro was
shot dead.
This wac the occasion OF numerous other
shots, about forty in all the Baxter men
firing from Stoddard's corner, and few OF
Brooks men, who were IN the Metropolitan,
fired from that quarter. The United States

The Delaware Institute of Mechanic Arts,

the purpose of benetitting class of our com

um the daily newspapers, scientific periodicals,
lectures and essays on all topics, scientific, po
litical and ethical, are the means used to ac-
complish our end. In every instance such ef-
forts at improvement and information have
met with marked appreciation and favor. The
interest is increasing rather than diminishing.
lie Is now proposed to add to the inducements
previously held out an opportunity for study
ing drafting. A drafting school for some time
existing under the supervision and patronage
of different gentlemen connected with the firm
OF MeSSrS. PuSey, Jones " co has been united
to this institution, and it is hoped and sincere
ly believed that by the combined efforts of the
school and Institute still greater progress will
be made But the design of the institution
will remain unaltered. 1t was founded as a
place where men might feel perfectly free TO
come and participate in any entertainment for
the hour which could there be afforded them
A plan for making the institution self-sup-
porting has been entered INTO and is meeting
with the success which its oriGinators hoped
for. But it is inadequate to meet the necessary
current expenses. The principal of public
subscription, on which our reliance for support
is chiefly based, seems to be the only practlca-
bic source OF assistance to which we can look
until the institution is freed from debt and
more independently established, 1t Is preem-

sites OF the future, and press them to re-

ORGANIZATION AT MIDDLETON " CoN.TIII-
TIoS ADOPTED.
AT Middetown, on Saturday, Ian. 2iih,
meeting of those interested, was held in the
Office oil J. T. Budd, TO listen TO the report of
committee previously appointed for the purpose
Of preparing constitution for the government
OF the Society, then in process Of organization.
The constitution, Us ieI,oiled by this committee
was after soine discussion, adopted, and large
number Of gentlemen enrolled their names as
members Of the Association
Although it had not been intended to open
books for subscription to the capital stock mo-
lion TO that effect was made with the hope that
sufficient wonld be taken 10 enable the society,
at its meeting, to proceed 10 an election for per
manent officers, and in few minutes nearly
$1,000 of stock was subscribed for. This result
being announced the meeting was adjourned
to meet at the same place Oil Saturday January
3lst.
The 'Peninsnlar Agricultural and Pomologi-
cal Association says the Middetown Tran
script has now been fairly organized, aud from
the character and ability of the gentlemen who
have inaugurated it, il bids fair TO prove q sue
cess. We cordially endorse the move and do
heartily command II 10 the attention of our
readers. A well organized and properly con-
Quoted Agricultural Society would, doubtless,
be of Immense benefit to the farmers OF this sec
ton Of the Stale or Peninsula.
A committee has been appointed whose duty
II is TO solicit subscriptions TO the capital stock
and it IS earnestly desired that large addition
will be made to that already taken, in order
that a larger number Of stockholders may be
pre- sented from whom to make selections for Of
iicers for the association.
