Captain Lackey the "Republic" hs
a gentlemanly and efficient offioer-ou
who knows his duties perfectly an
attends to them. The trip was one {
continued interest, as all the scenes al
tendant to the river and shore could b
distinctly viewed from the decks of tn
boat, and more especially was this th
case upon the hurricane deck. Tru
the sun shone brightly upon those VIII,
were thus exposed, but then delight
ful breeze was stirring, and one fel
amply repaid by the sight which me
his gaze.
The "Republic' affords variou.
amusements for the enjoyment of hel
passengers. An excellent piano is OF
board for this purpose, and instrum. n
tai music wi h vocal accompaniment il
heartily enjoyed. This fact was fully
verified by the storm of applause which
greeted the efforts of Mr.. Frank Comfy
the celebrated comic songster. A brass
band rendered selections from the opera
of Pinafore in very praise worthy
manner. In addition to these a string
band was on board, and to the music
which it emitted numerous youths and
damsels tripped the light fantastic. The
Republic contains bar, refreshment
stand and barber shop. 1t also con-
tains a restaurant, at which meals can
be obtained at a reasonable price.
At Cape May the Fourth was celebra-
ted in comparatively quiet manner,
and only occasionally was the booming
OF cannon heard or the bursting of a
rocket seen. Only one or two fights oc-
Cured to mar the peacefulness of the
occasion.
Proceeding to and fro between the
steamboat landing and Cape May prop
or by hack is gradually decreasing. A
railroad two miles long has been estab-
lished, and visitors can proceed from
the boat to the city, or from the city to
the boat, for ten cents. Travel on this
road was commenced on the 4th inst.
The weather on Friday evening and
morning was very cold, and
quite a number OF overcoats we're
brought into requisition. Sea Breeze,
Or the Excursion House, presented
bustling appearance on the Fourth. 1t

Traces Of the burnt section of the

hotels and cottages which were de.

mlMgtOn COlOred Man.

| The Chester "Times," of Saturday
gives full account of the fracas on th
Fourth in a grove at Lamokin Station
a reference to which was made in Sat
urday's REPUBLICAN. 1t says that tn
Chester crowd was swelled by nearl,,
two hundred from Wilmington, ant
Reilly's Hotel, adjacent to the grove
was given up to the freedom of the col
ored people, number of them getting
very drunk and disorderly.
There were repeated fights and out
breaks of the public peace around tht
hotel all the afternoon. In the evening
few minutes after seven o'clock the
disturbance reached its elimination. Al
the above mentioned time a desperate
| fight ragged between a number of Viii.
mington and Chester colOrsd people. II
was difficult to tell who the leaders of il
were. Razors and clubs were bran
dished in the air in an alarming man
ner. Officers Barber and Murray and
constabes Sharpless and Wheaton were
present and did all in their power to
quell the disturbance. They were
knocking the despcradoes down and
dragging them out right mantully. The
constables did good service. In the
contest constable Sharpless got down on
the pavement and the crowd trOd over
him, but he was finally gotten up very
little injured.
In the heat of the battle just as officer
Barber was plying his club right lively
on the heads of the beligerants, one
negro, named Daniel B. Anderson, from
Wilmington, stepped back from the
crowd and pulling from his pocket a
small pistol, held it about yard from
officer Barber's head and fired. The
ball took effect just behind tho right
ear, glanced upward and lodged beneath
the scalp about two inches above where
it entered. The officer fell, stunned for
a moment, but recovered as the would
be assassin was trying to make AIS es-
cape.
He was running down the road along
the railroad track, and when he was
pointed out to the officer he fired three
shots after him, but none of them took
effect. VIM. Mitchell, all engineer saw
Anderson shoot and could have captur
ed him, but he was afraid OF the clubs |
flying III the air. James Wood, John |
Thompson, officer Barber, constable
Wheaton and others pursued Anderson,
but he could outrun them all. He ran
in the direction of Cartertown, and of,
icer Barber procured a. horse and went
after him. He succeeded in capturing
nim near Upland and put him in the
Ock up.
Constable Sharpless brought one of
he oth-r ring leaders to the lock up
md informed the Chief of the affair
The Chief, with officers Stewart and
reland went down to the scene of the
fray. The crowd around the place
vas very large and the report from the
itiz-Is was that disorder had rsigned
upreme all day. They dispersed the
var.like element and there was no fur
her trouble.
After officer Barber secured Anderson
Il the lock up he went to the Mayor
nd had the ball extracted.
