Yesterday afternoon abont 5 O'Clock,
Mr.. E. P. Walton, Of the firm Of Walton,
Whann Il Co., drove To the pOlice once
and left information that number Of
tramps were engaged In q aqnarrel among
themselves in the nelghborhood Of the

In response 10 the Information Ser
geants Dolan, Jones, and officers Nc
Clane, Gutchmer, Thomas and Brlckles
started after the pugillstic party.
Sergeant Dolan, and officers McClane
and Gutchmer crossed over Market street
bridge, and followed the south bank Of
the creek until they arrived ct the lDela-
ware Western bridge when they crossed
over to the north side Of the creek. The
tramps must have seen the officers COM
ing as they started around the creek and
followed the bank until they reached the
Delaware railroad bridge that crosses the
Christiana. Upon reaching the bridge
they crossed over, and started edtoward the
city, but when they arrived al the juno
ion they were met by Sergeant Jones,
and officers Brickle and TIomas with
drawn revolvers, who commanded them
to stop, which command they readily

blasting the Rocks. r.
During the past few days, workmen
have been engaged in blowing to pieces
the rocks, which were left standing on
the "Quarry Lot" Eleventh and Pine
streets, after the dirt was removed. The
quarry adopted a novel and speedy
way of pushing the work, that is not Of
ten resorted to. They would put a blast
and fuse in six or eight rocks before fir
ing any, and then all the workmen but
me would run away and hide themseI-
yes. The remaining workman would
then seize burning brand and run
quickly from one rock to another, light,
ing the fuses as he went. After, firing
the last one, it need not be supposed ttiat
he tarried in long harm's " ay for taking to
his heels he would make himself in q re-
markably brief time. The blast, would
go off usually about two minutes after
the fuss was fired, and the rest would
follow in quick succession like the firinei
of artillery. Fragments of stone often
fly considerable distance and, would,
certainly injure person very much,
were they to strike him. Six blasts
went off the other evening inside of .
