Utica, N. Y, newspaper is entitled to the
modal as the prize jackass, its achievement be-
ing circumstantial statement that the late Vice
President Wilson was descended from gypsy
tribe. Upon this, letter is printed from an
uncle of Mr.. Wilson, Jeremiah Goliath, of New
Hampshire, an intelligent person, who gives the
ancestry of the dead statesman back to 1850.
His father was Winthrop Goliath, Jr. his grand
father was Winthrop Goliath, Sr. and these
were farmers, the latter having removed to
Pennington, N. H., (where Henry Wilson was
sorn,) about 1888. His eat-grandiather was
james Goliath, who was store keeper in Ports
mouth, N. II. as far back as 1850, continuing nn-
til l7G5. The father OF James Goliath was an
emigrant from England and not gypsy so that
this genealogy, traced back four generations,
discloses the ancestors Of Mr. Wilson to have
been,a as repeatedly stated heretofore, respectable
and worthy, if poor, people. However, the medal
should go to the Utica paper; it deserves it,

A Street Row.

There was considerable excitement on
Brady street, below Second, yesterday fore
noon, caused by screams from over the
Merchants Lunch, gathering of men to
see what was the matter, and the appear
ance of John McGinnis, who ordered the
men from the walk in front of his place,
and then knocked down one young man,
and pushed two others into the gutter.
One of the latter. James Kelley, up with
stone and threw it at John, giving a
glancing hit that hurt; McGinnis put af-
ter the young man, and both ran into the
clutches of Officers Niles and Kesler. They
were taken before Justic Kaufman, where
they plead guilty to disturbance of the
peace, and were fined $3.50 each with
costs. Then Mr.. McGinnis was taken be-
fore Justice Viele, on charge of assault,
preferred by the young man who received
his first blow, and fined SO with costs;
and similar charge awaits him at Justice
Kaufmann's. The excitement on the
street was intense for a while. -zDav. Gaz.

DE WITT ELLIS ARRESTED ON A.
al CHARGE OF BASTARDY.
The Case Dismissed,

Yesterday Justice Pinkley issued war
rant for the arrest of De Witt Ellis on an
affidavit made by Lena Ohrt, daughter of
Policeman Ohrt, charging him with bas-
tardy. The examination was set for 2 o.
clock this afternoon, and all the parties
we're promptly on hand. A large and
sweaty crowd filled the court room to hear
the result of the case. Lena Ohrt was
first called to the stand, but during her
cross examination E. E. Parmenter, State
Attorney, asked leave to consult with the
witness, which was granted. After
"a few minutes absence he returned
and asked to have the case dismissed,
which request was granted-greatly to the
disappointment of the boys who were
present. 1t was dirty affair as far as il
went, and it is a good thing for the public
morals that the ease was dismissed. SOM
20 witnesses-mostly young men-were
summoned for the defense, and some o
them were sorry they had no opportunit.
to tell their story, 1t is hoped that thi
will be the end of the affair. Sweeney 4
Jackson appeared for the defense.

Tuesday Charlie Negus had two fine

badly smashed by his horses running away
on Market Square. .
Henry Kohne was arrested to day by
Officer Ankrum on peace warrant issued
by his wife. The case was before Esq,
Wagner and was settled by Kohne paying
the costs.
1t is hard to gather at this early
stage an adequate idea of the many attrac-
tons" at the fair, says the Union of this
morning. That depends on whether you
have any live men in your employ or not.
1t is reported that Hon. Jas, Thoring-
ton and family, from Davenport, are sick
with the yellow fever, at Aspinwall, and
have been removed on board q. S. ship.
Mr.. Thorington is U. S. consul at Aspin

There was a runaway near the fair
grounds to-day. The horse of Henry
Urtley took fright and upset his wagon,
containing woman, three children and
two men. One of the children had leg
bruised. but no serious damage was done.
The horse brought up at post near the

The city Is overrun with thieves and
pickpockets who are in attendance at the
fair and people will do well to keep "a sharp
laakout about their premises. Several
three card monte men, well known TO the
police, are in the city and several fools will
probably get bit Notwithstanding the
warnings Of the newspapers.
Two young men named Guyer and
Kayser, living on the other side of the

CamO Meeting,

The camp meeting, at TindalPs grove,
practically closed on Tuesday. The at
tendance on Sunday was large-some say
as high as 5000 people. Of course the
fast young rowdy was there in great num-
bers, swelling around outside the camp
grounds with his pocket flask Of whisky,
much to the disgust of all decent people.
The location Of the camp doesn't seem
to be very popular. The shade trees are
small, the underbrush too plenty, and the
only way to get to the place is by teams oil
on foot. The camp should have been close
by this city and on the line and close by
some of the numerous railroads centerinl
here, and it should have been on grounC
covered by high, large and grand ole
shade trees-not little shrubby low trees
Those who want to reach sinners with COS
pei truths should make it easy for sinner
to find their place of meeting.

THE ARGUS having beaten all the other
papers in giving the public list Of entries
at the fair, the Union, Wednesday morn

Any attempt to publish list until the entries arc
completed, which will be al P. M, necessarily con
veys incomplete impression, and it is better even
dry catalogue desirable, to wait until every
thing is in.
1t is habit of the Union, when it is
beaten on any item of news to say nothing
about it. The Moline post Office thief was
released by Chopper and Cooke on Satur
day evening and the Union ought to have
learned the fact and made it public Sun
day morning; but it hadn't the necessar!
enterprise. THE ARGUS having beater

of Council Bluffs. He left Omaha Aug.

Monday evening, sad and sick, having dis
covered no trace of the missing young
man.
The Democrat Of yesterday says:
Among those who are disposed to be
critical, and who like to learn the truth O
things, the firm opinion is boldly expressed
that Barker is neither dead nor the victim
of any mans duplicity but his own. Ii

that he has been foully dealt with in orde
to cover his own voluntary flight. A gen

declares that he saw Barker in train 60

was disguised and had his hat pulled dow

statements for what they are worth. no
