why Cork Snubbed Grant.

Private letters received from Cork
and Dublin, by Irish citizens of Wash
ington, confirm the opinion that the
refusal of the City of Cork to receive
Gen. Grant was due principally to the
treatment which the Centennial adj
dress, adopted by citizens of Ireland
and sent to this country, received at
the hands of President Grant. The
sentiments expressed in President
Grants Des Moines speech on Church
and State was made the ostensible
reason for the refusal Of Cork to honor
the ex-President but the Indignation
felt at the nOn-reeeptiOn of that fra
ternal address was, it is alleged, the
true ground Of resentment. 1t APP
pears hat the whole feeling against
Gen. Grant was worked up by a Mr..
Doran, who, to make sure of the
snubbing of Gen. Grant, used
his supposed anti Catholic views
against him. The people Of Ireland,
the letters state, were not enraged at
therefusal ofthis government to receive
the address, but at what they consid-
cred their shabby treatment by Gen.
Grant. The embossed document was
sent over to this country by Messrs.
Parnell and 0'Connor Power. two
Irish members of the British parlia-
ment, Mr.. Parnell was selected as
one Of the delegates because he was
a grandson of Commodore Stewart of
the American navy. When these
gentlemen arrived at New York, Gen.
Grant was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
They called upon him with a number
Of compatriots living in this country,
and made known the objects of their
visit. One of the gentlemen who was
present at the interview told a Star
reporter, to-day, that they we're re-
ceiyed most cordially. President
Grant was glad to see that so kindly a
feeling was felt in Ireland for the wei
fare of the United States. He would.
he said, be most happy to receive the
address, and expressed himself as
ready to receive it then and there.
The delegation thought that, to give
more eclat to the presentation. il
should be made here in Washington.
General Grant expressed himself as
satisfied with the arrangement.
Messrs. Parnell and Power came to
Washington, and upon the return OF
the President, sent the document to
the White House. The next morn
ing they received a note from Assist
ant Secretary Of State Cadwallader-
Secretary Fish was absent. and did
not, as is generally supposed, have any
hand in the matter-saying that the
address could not be received except
through the British minister. As the
contents Of it we're inimical, inferen-
italy, to Treat Britain, the impossi-
bility Of such a course being taken
was evident. The Irish members of
parliament then left for Now York.
The address was sent from here by
a gentleman to Mr.. Power, in New
York, but whether it was taken back
to Ireland or still remains in this
country is not definitely known. 1t is
very probable that it is now in New
York. The letters from Ireland say
that no bad feeling would have been
engeHdered if the President had stated
that he could not have received the
address when first waited upon, in
stead Of promising to do so, and then
allowing the bearers of it to be re-
buffed in the manner described.

DISCHARGE OF REVoLvERs THE
SHERIFF INTERPRETERS.
NEW CASTLE, Sept. q
Yesterday was in truth cred letter
day." and as such will be the startling
point for new epoch in this city. By
train time, I p. M, the greater part of
our visitors had left for their homes, and
the reports fiom the regular and special
police was that the entire city was order
ly.
Our colored citizens were to end up
the days festivities by ball in Egyptian
Hall. A number from Wilmington and
Chester were present. From some cause
slight difficulty occurred between Sally
Kennard, of Hedgeville, and Tom Star
ling, of Sbawtown. Sally's friends came
to the rescue while she went outside, and
there began another row, getting knock
down from some negro for her trouble.
At this point colorea man standing on
the steps fired pistol, and at once his
companions followed with a vOlley.
Some six or eight white boys, were about
the street, at this time, and the police
were called, when the firing again began.
One white man was shot through the
leg, a colored boy through the neck,
while officer VIM. Weldon, was struck
by spent bali In the leg. The dancers
defied the police, and kept up constant
firing from the hall windows. So great
was the excitement that several hundred
citizens were gathered by the noise, and
muskets, and other firearms were in the
hands of all. SherifPyle put in appear
ance with an armed posse, and going into
the Hall, the lights were put out, and no
signs OF the negroes to be found, other
than a few old women, who had re
freshment stand. The garret was searched
and twelve women and sixteen men
brought out. They were marched to the
Jail, accompanied by an armed posse of
citizens. They were searched in the
Jail, and some few black jacks found. All
the women were discharged but Sally
Kennard, who on being remanded,
thanked His Honor, saying she had been
there before. A hearing will be given
this evening, when the whole facts will
be arrived al.

TnfIiIInNnf Voters.

Some of the men accused of illegal
voting in the Fifth Ward, by the petition
of Henry Evans, contesting James Car
michael's seat in City Council, are in
dignant over the false charges made
against them. One of them, Mr.. John
Zebley, who is staunch Republican,
roundly berated Mr.. Evans for thus
falsely accusing him of being criminal
after he had voted for him for City
Council. In response NJ. Evans said
he knew nothing about the matter, as he
had not worked up the case. He also
told Mr.. Zebley that if he would 60 to
Mr.. b. T. Bye, he might ''get his name
taken off the list of illegal voters"
Others are as indignant as Mr.. Zebley
over such mean and unwarrD mt I'd ac-
cusation, and there is talk of suits being
entered against Mr.. Evans for SANDER in
thus publishing men to the public as be-
ing illegal voters, when they were as
legally entitled to vote as Mr.. Evans
himself.

From Paris Medical Gazette:-If one
thing more than any other was needed
by the medical world, it was some me-
thod whereby that terrible class of
diseases known as lung and bronchial af-
fections bould be successfully treated
We believe the vacant Mich has been
illed by DR.. Souvielle's invention and
successful construction of his Paris
Splrometer. 1t seems to be the acme OF
perfection in the treatment and cure OF
the above diseases.
From the French Republic;-In this the
afternoon of the 18th century, when
science and art are making such mighty
strides, 1t is pleasing to note the impetus
which science has received by the in
ventlon of DR.. Souviells's Paris Splro-
meter, which is SO constructed that
medication Is conveyed direct to the
lungs and throat, bringing those hereto
fore dangerous diseases under the COM
plete control of the oper ator.
From The Austria Royal Gazette DIR.
Souyielle's radical departure from old
establi she'd rules in the treatment of
luug and throat complaints, Is causing
quite tutter in the medical profession.
Old and well established rules for the
treatment of diseases are fast crumbliug
away and giving place to more potent
agents. HIS grand discovery
marks a mile stone on the march of
medical reform.

Arrested q Mule.

This morning, about o'clock, as Off
Ger Thomas was proceeding around his
beat, he met mule at Railroad aud
Market streets. The mule was without
harness, and AS no owner could be seen
in the vicinity the officer drove that mule
away. In short time afterwards, the
officer met that mule at Water and
French streets. Then it was that he de-
cided to arrest that mule, and conse-
quently after some coaxing, and high
regard for his personal safety, knowing
the ma ure of the beast, he cautiously ap-
preached the animal like ca. approach
ing mouse, and laid his hands upon said
mule. The mule no doubt felt its lone
illness, and walked quietly along with the
officer, until the City Pound was reached,
and when the gates were opened it
walked in, and after selecting soft spot
ON the ground gently laid down to rest
The mule in question is a fine one, and
is now at the Pound awaiting an owner.

POLICE HEARINGS LAST NIGHT TO THE
EXTENT OF A HALF HOUR.
jimmy Jones, colored lad, was the
first prisoner put in the dock at the po-
ics station, last night. for trial. The
usual crowd of curiosity seekers were
present Mollie Lockwood, a colored
damsel, was the first witness. "Yes, rs
swarm to the truf; neSber swoIe to a
lie IN my lIta," said Mollie, when the
oath was administered. She testit tieu
that Jimmy had fired rocks at her III
Greeley street, ,and had afterwards threat
ened 10 take her life. From a cross
examination by the prisoner and the
evidence OF witnesses for the defense, II
was shown that Jones had thrown the
stones ut a man who bad pointed a gun
at him. 1t was shown, however. that he
followed the complainant into the house
OF negro friend, and there threatened
to kill her for insulting linn about throw
ing stones. He was fined the costs of
the cases, and required to give 500 bail
TO keep the peace.
"My names Miss Amanda Johnson"
remarked the next prisoner, light mu-
lattU girl, as she entered the dock. Eli
jah Benson, eolored, was the first wit
ness. "Put y our r.. ut hand on the book,

Ell jah testified that yesterday, when
his wife was away, Amanda came to his
hoHse, got his little daughtef to unlock
tie door, and entering took shawl, val
ue "a cents. These charges we're proved,
and Amanda was held for court in the
sum OF $1G0. .3
John Mcfarland was the next orna-
drunk at Fourth and Lom bard streets.
according to the evidence of the police
man John said that was incorrect, as
he was not drunk; he might have been
excited, he admiLted, because the woman
who waited on him in IA saloon nea- by
had charged him % cents for two drinks.
He was fued fifty cents.
The next and last case was one Ct the
saddest that has come before Mayor ALL
mond since he has been presiding as
police justice. The prisoners were two
lads named George Boulden and Edward
Barney. They were mere childreDi one

THE BATTLING PRIZE FIGHT TWO
YOUNG BLOODS HAD YESTERDAY.

THE BATTLING PRIZE FIGHT TWO
YOUNG BLooDs HAD YESTERDAY.
There has been trouble brewing be-
tween Jonas Pyle and "Reddy" Apple
ton, both Of this town, for some time
past. Every time they lave been meet
ing of late there has been cinched fists
and muttered threats to punch each
others heads of. 1t is said the origin of
this had feeling was a difficulty at a
tiremen's dance. Just what the difficulty
was is not known as the channels of in
formation are closed up on that point.
IL might have been that Jonas could
trip the light fantastic toe more aptly
than Reddy, or that Reddy came with no
girl, and danced more times with the
inamorata who accompanied Jonas than
Jonas did himself. But any way the
trouble came about from difficulty be-
tween the two, that sprang into existence
in terpsichore's court. r.,
Things gradually approached a crisis
between the two young bloods and they
set about plan to decide the matter.
At last by mutual agreement they arrang-
ed to meet in Tally's woods in Brandy
wine Hundred soon, and then and there
to settle the difference by ''main force
and awkardness." Accordingly they pro-
ceeded to the historic grove yesterday
afternoon and "stripping" went to work.
1t is true that they did not fight in a
fancy way; it was no fine and scientific
work, but wonderfully effective. The
way those two young plug uglies pum-
melled each other and beat their visages
into more forbidding shape than before
is said to have been most surprising Five
rounds were fought and in the end of the
last round Appleton received kick in
the abdomen aud had TO succumb. This
terminated the struggle and they both re-
turned TO town, ready to drop the hard
feeling, but both rather dissatisfied at the
rough usage they had received at each
others hands. '.s..

the 10 miles in III. 2m.

sAt the sixth mile Wootoo Hooso, the
younger and lighter Indian, gained one
lap on WoOtOO Coorah, and at the end Of
ten miles he had gained six laps, which
he ran In three minutes, making the time
OF the latter In. 5m.
In form and appearance these Indians
are of the genuine Aztec type-large
chest, small hips, thin legs, small
arms, erect carriage aud easy
movene 1t. In running, the. feet
and lower limbs played gracefully be-
meath like the feet of a wild turkey or a.
quail, and were not thrown back in clum-
siness as were those OF the four boys who
undertook to run turn about against the
Indians but tagged on the fifth mile. To
get sense of the 1.-the and supple move
ments of the Indians it is only necessary
to have boy run with them for few
minutes. In fact, the Indians looked Is
though they had been whitfield down 10
point and then sent spinning around
the track. They are accompanied by an
old chief, Pasquah, about sixty years of
age, over six feet high, and by an Indian
interpreter about their own size and age.
They were broaght from Arizona by Mr..
L.. J. Ii. Jaeger, who went there in 1850
and was one of the first white men ever
in the Territory. 1t is proposed to take
them to the Eastern States and run there
in the principal cities. They speak no

The revival Of the iron trade, after so
