UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.

THE NEGRO JACKsoN's AssAILANTs HELD
FOR COURT.
The police station was densly rowded
last Saturday evening, when the hear
ing OF VIM. j Jackson, James Heusley and
Elijah Benson for participating In The
fight at Eighth and French streets Oh
Friday evening last, took place before
the Mayor.
The evidence was nearly in accordance
with the Pccount of the D fair which was
published in these columns on Saturday.
IL appeared that Jackson was standing
quietly en- the corner of Eighth anu
French streets when Hensley and Ben
son came along and spoke to him. He
answered them ana they passed on, hui
soon came back remarking that he didn't
make verv free with them. Jackson
told them tha' he did not, because he
knew what kind of fellows they were,
They assaulted him, knocked him down
AID kicked him. He warned them to go
and leave him be, and at last got up and
started down the street, but returned for
his hat. They kicked his hat and again
ran mt him, Hensley having the razor
He told them he would shoot, but they
paid no attention to his warning. Hen
sley used the razor with great vigor and
cut him in the manner descri bed before.
Jackson then fired two shols with the
pistol, one of them hitting Hensley III
the leg.
In deciding the case, the Mayor said
that This thing of negroes carrying razors
and boys carryi ing pistols, was becomi II &
much too common, and he would endea
vor to stop 1t. 1t was case which he
said he could not decide. Hensley was
held for court III the sum of 81 900; Ben
son in $500, and Jackson was discharged
from the arrest tor shooting, but wa, held
in the sum of $500 as "A witness.

The Supposed HydrophObia Case.

THE CONDITION OF MR.. MCKAY THIS
MORNING-HE is ABLE TO PARTAKE
OF LEMONADE AND TEA.
The condition of Mr.. George Mckay,
who Il was at first supposed was suffer-
ing from attack Of hydrophobia, since
Thursday last, was much improved this
morning. During the night he suffered
very much fIom paias, in various parts
of the body, but about 4 o'clock, he
awoke from sleep, and requested his
wife to make him a cup of tea.
His request was complied with, and
when the lea was handed him, he drank
it with evident relish, and did not show
any symptoms of the dread malady of a
person who is attacked with it, and pre-
sented with a liquid in any form. He
also drinks without any effort large guam
titles of lemonade.
This morning his wife asked him, for
the first time what he thought was the
matter with him, and in reply he stated
that he thought that he was going mad
as he dreamrd all the time of dogs. DR..
Maull, his physician states that he thinks
the man will recover from the attack
The physician is very reticent in regard
to the case.

Farrell and the Editor Oi every
Evening""
RLmors OF an assault made upon VIM.
T. Croasdale, editor of Erery Ecening,
by Martin Farrell, in the saoon Of John
A. Beers at 728 Market street an Satur-
day night, have been going about the
street yesterday and to-day, and are gen
orally of conflicting nature. To learn
the truth OF the affair, Mr.. Farrell was
called upon this morning and quest oned
IN regard to the affair. II have nothing
to say to you sir, he replied, shut would
refer you to Mr.. Croasdale." This wa,
all Mr.. Farrell would say in answer to
the questions AID the inq iirer after news
withdrew.
A direct and evidently accu, ate ac-
count Of the affair was gained from MIR.
Beers himself. He said that on Saturday
night after the performance OF "Pinafore"
at the Opera House closed, Mr.. Croas-
dale came into his saloon in company
with several other gentlemen and were
asked back iuto the dining room to take
some snapper soup, as they had flee
lunch. This invitation they accepted and
were soon sitting eating their soup and
slipping their beer. While they were thus
engaged Martin Farrell entered with
friend and called for beer. After drink
ing IL thev were also invited to have
some soup and started to comply. MIR.
Farrell entered the room and went up To
the table where DR.. L. q. Shoitlidge and
Mr.. Cruasdale were sitting and caught
h Id of the doctors chair, drawing it
away from him. He caught himself be-
fore falling. Farrell turned TO Mr..
Croasdale and remarked to him with
more drectness than grammar, "YOu
haint got no business here" With these
words he snatched the chair from under
him and Mr.. Croasdale had much diff
Gully in keeping from measuring his
leng h upon the door.
Mr. Beers was shortly afterwards call
ed out by the gentleman to whom Mr..
| Farrell had been rude and was asked II
he allowed gentlemen to thus be insult
ed with impunity. Mr.. Beers then went
to Mr.. Farrell and told him that no gen
tleman would act so. A few minutes
after this, Mr.. Farrell again approached d
Mr.. Croasdale and remarked, "You are
scoundrel and have you right where
| want YOU" Mr.. Farrell then threw a
glassful of beer full in Mr.. Croasdale's
face and otherwise insulted him, but met
with 10 resistance.
Shortly after this policeman was SEM

proceedings in that line could be com

One of the most successful robberits
that has ever taken place in this city oc-
CURED early on Saturday evening last, at
the residence Of X. Ii. Rumford, No. 917
Tatnall street.
At the time the robbery occurred no
one was In the house, Mr.. Rumford being
at his store, and Mrs. Rumford On a visit
to her relati yes In New Jersey. Just be-
fore O'Clock the servant girl having
finished The work, locked up the house
securely and started out on an errand. IT.
Is evident that she had not been gone
long before the thieves commenced their
operations. 1t is supposed that they
passed in the front gate and passing
tered the ont-kitchen. Here thew were
stopped by door leading into the gen.
erAl kitchen, which was 10 sked with two
bo ts and key lock. They came pre-
pared, however, having q chisel with
Them, with which after seven attempts
theysucceededi In opening the door. After
gaining an entr they went direct to
the third story of the hou.e, and after
lighting every gas jet In the house, they
went to work with a will, and ransacked
every drawer In the bureaus, clothes
presses and stands. Articles were strewn
over the floor in an Undesirable mass.
Even the small boxes found In the draw
| ers we're opened and examined.
| After turning over the beds and be-
coming satisfied that they had procured
all that was of any value, they next visit
Ell the second story, where the same op-
eratiOns were performed. Every pom
In the house was visited, and every gas
jet lighted. When the servant RETURN Ell
she was surprised to see the hOHse light
ed up, and immedia at-ly surmised that
some thi ng unusual had occurred Her sur
misses were verified upon entering the
house, when she found that burglary
had occurred.
Among the articles stolen so far as as
certained at present are a brown silk
suit. black silk suit, a silk umbrella
black silk coat with velvet. trimming
and seal skin cap, all of which belong
ell to Mrs.. Rumford. Also the follow ne
articles belonging to the servant: Two
silk dresses, S12 in money, one pair Of
gold bracelets, gold neck cham, cameo
breast pm and ear drops, and other ar;i
cles Also nine fine shirts, belonging t,
Mr.. Rumfoid.
1t was also apparent that the thieve.
were frightened off, as q large quantit,
of goods were found in the Kitchen
ready to be carried away. IL seem
strange that no persons saw the thievc
although it was early in the evening, tn,
robbery having occurred between 8:3
and $50 o'clock.
Thus far no clue has been found as I,
who the thieves were.
