Bloody Fight in Chicago.

The Bohemian SharpshOOteas AssOcia-
tiOn, composed Of some twenty indiYiduals,
had a picnic on Sunday. at Silver Leaf
Grove. During dance one Of the sharp
shooters engaged in q quarrel with VOlney
Clark, a visitor, and after using him up
pretty badly had him elected from the
ground. He stated his grievance to the
crowd outside the gate, and gaining some
sympathy there, insugursted an lndls-
criminata throwing of sticks and stones in
to the inclosure where the picnic was be-
ing held. The Lieutenant Of the compa-
ny, Frank Ladweic, ordered the long roll
sounded, the bayonets fixed, and charge
was Immediately made toward the gates.
The crowd were bayOneted and sabred un-
til they fell back. The company reformed
ontSide the gate in a single line, facing the
street, and, loading their guns, fired vol
lev into the crowd. They Immediately
reloaded and again fired, each sharpShoot-
er picking his man. 1t is stated that three
or four vOlleys were fired in all, the car
tridges being composed of nine buekshot
each.
As soon as the affair became known, two
squads Of police repaired to the scene and
arrested the whole company. They formed
in marching order under the American flag
and proceeded to the station where they
were incarcerated.
The lieutenant denies that he gave the
the order to fire, but says after he had clear
ed the grounds by bayonet charge there
was such rain of stones and bricks that
his men began deSultory fire without an
order. The members Of the company re-
fuse to talk. Seventeen are retained, the
others having been released. The arrival
OF the police to conduct them to the station
probably saved them from personal vio-
lence, which was threatened by the sur
rounding excited mob, numbering 1900.
The following is believed to be a complete
list Of the cauSalties: Valentine E. Clark,
severely wounded by blows on the head;
D. Fl. Wilkie, three-inch bayonet wound
on the left temple: John DOnahue, left
side Of iawbone shattered and shot through
the body below the lett nipple, said to
have died; Henry Williams, body and
neck; Albert Jinkins right shoulder; little
boy name unknown; Daniel Mccarthy,
cut with bayonet.

The ]. B. RICE CAsE.-We alluded to
tie fact last week, that this case was on
trial at Jefferson. The arguments were
made on Friday and Saturday last. 1t was
conducted by Messrs. Northwsy Fitch
for the plaintiff, and by Mr.. Henry M'Kin-
ney, of Cleveland, for the defendant-R
Mr.. Fitch opened on Friday, and Mr..
M'Kinney followed on Saturday morning,
and Mr.. NorthwaY closed in the afternoon.
We had the pleasure of being present on
Saturday, and listened to the very able ar
gument of Mr.. M'Kinney, who ranks among
the foremost advocates of the State. He
was listened to with absorbing attention
and pleasure. Lawyers and laity seemed
to be Of one opinion, as to the ability of his
argument. Mr.. Northway occupied the
afternoon, and acquitted himself with his
usual credit and ability, and left the case
for the jury, in much better shape for the
plaintiff than that inwhieh it was left by the
opposing council. These arguments were
not only marked by ability, but by candor
and fairness. The fetch and mere teehni-
cality of the pettitogger had no part in the
calculation of the evidence. We could
not but feel that the practice was put up
on a higher level than it is placed by the
practitioners of many of our western bars.
The jury was suffered to separate with
the injunction to hold no conversation on
the subject of the trial. The charge was
deferred until Monday morning. The jury
failed to agree. They stood ten to two for
the plaintiff. The recusants were Simon
Hoffman, of Plymouth, and - How
ard, of Monroe. Thus the posture of the
jury seems to leave little encouragement
for new trial, and some of the attorneys
say that the case is probably done.
Mrs. Ainger was in court. and her bear
ing both upon the witness stand and as a
listener to the progress of the case, was
very becoming and left favorable impress

THE NEwL LIS. Rms. Docks, embraced
in the M'Kenzie contract will have been
completed by the time this announce
ment reaches the majority of our readers.
The contract limited the work to the first
of July, and Saturday the 28th, the M'Ken-
zies hope to be able to turn the docks over
to the company, unless some reverse
in weather should occur. The six-ineh
planking upon the timbers was all down
Sunday last, and the filling, it was thought
could be completed, at an easy calculation,
by the close Of the week, admitting of one
or two days for dressing off and putting
the finishing touches upon the job. The
energy of the young contractors, shown
upon this, their first work has been most
credisable to executive and business quail
tiles, and well iustifes the confidence that
has been placed in them by the officers of
the company in whose service they have
been engaged. About the character Of the
work, there is of course, no room for ques-
ton. The thorough workmanship and skin
of the wood workman ranks with best and
speakes for itself at every stage as well
as upon its completion.
When we think that these young men
have upon their hands the contract for the
extension of the east pier, and the second
contract-the coal dock on the west side
of the slip-the piling of which has been
progressing, their unquestioned business
capacity may be calculated.
While this contract has thus been driven
with the utmost energy, the company have
not been idle in their plans and labors to
put the dock to use at the very first op-
portunitY. The spur tracks to lead to
these docks, have been in the course OF
grading, and are now in state of for
wardness-some of it already being in
readiness for the ties, to be followed by
the laying of the rail. The surface plank
ing of the dock with three inch pine-tc
be done by the company, is now in wait
ing for the laying, so that there is to be nc
delay in putting these docking advantages
to immediate use.
The coal dock on the west side Of the
slip, is not to be SO elaborately and sub
stantially built as the ore dock now about
completed. Numerous piles are being
driven along the front portions of the dock,
but the filling will be dumped directly
upon the marsh, without the. timbers and
six inch plank as in the ore dock. The ill-
ing will have to be hauled around the
east end of the slip, making the haul a
somewhat longer ona but, as in other res
poets, there is less work to do, that work
too, viii be hurried up to an early compile,
tiOn. Then for the increased activity Of
business in the RATIO Of the INCREASED ad;
vantages for its execution.
