Tho German Picnic.

St. Bsnedict's Beneficial Society, con-
nected with the German Catholic
Church, held their annual picnic at
Scheutzen Park yesterday. This was
the largest picnic that the society has
given, as it is estimated that over two
thousand people were present. Last
year it appears that the Bishop inter-
dicted the selling Of beer at the picnic,
but it seems that they disregarded his
order, as it is said that forty-seven
kegs of beer were drank on the ground.
Young lads were seen drinking what is
termed by the Germans as the
"stumps. When parties would or
der their beer the boys would by some
means, manage to secure what was left
in the umblers, and this way num-
Der of them became beastly intoxica-
ted. Not Only were the boys fighting
but men and women also appeared to
be on their muscle. Women tore one
another terribly, and false hair with
gew-gaws and flashing jewelry scattered
the ground.
Some twenty-five of the demi-monde,
from New York and Philadelphia, were
present and mingling with those from
this city, they imbibed so freely in the
beverage that fights were almost
of constant occurrence. The way they
made the hair fly beat the traditional
Kilkenny cats. officers Whelan and
Bernhard were kept busy putting the
boys outside the gate, but no sooner
were they put out than they would re.
tura again by climbing the fence.
When the picnic broke up parties
with swollen faces and black eyes wers
numerous. One man was SO terribly
beaten about the face that it puzzled
his most intimate friends to recognize
him. To-day number of the pic nickeri
are complaining of headaches, and thu
majority of them are unable to pursu,
their daily avocations owing to the ef
feet of the general debauch.

Thrown from his Carrlhge.

George Casho of Newark, ,on returning
from trip to this city, by way Of
Christiana on Tuesday afternoon, had
narrow escape from serious injury.
Just before reaching Christiana, his
horse took fright and springing sudden
ly to one side Mr.. G. was thrown
partially out of his rockaway, but

he managed to hold on for some time
butfinally he was compelled to loose his
hold and fall to the ground. The horse
continuing on his course ran into the
COW yard Of the Messrs. Lewden when
he overturned the carriage and was i'm
mediately afterwards secured. Luck
lily Mr.. c. escaped with only slight
scratch on one Of his hands. tho
Road Commissioners or contractor
should repair the hole which frighten
ed the horse or they may find them-
selves involved in suit for damages.

The unfortunate ones were all taken

so unfortunate as to loose their watches
while the wallets of many of the in.

1t was about seven O'Clock before
porti ons of the building fell. The
time from first starting until every one
was out of the building and the Who'll.
