The seventh ward NOmina-
ton.

On Saturday, SO il is reported on the
best authority, MIR. CHARLES w. Talley,
one of the competitors for the Republ-
can Cour Gil nomination in the Seventh
ward, and made to him the following
statement:
That in the nomination lie and his
friends had determined to confine the
voting strictly to the assessment list, a
COPY of which they had procured from
the Clerk of the Peace.
That if the friends of his competitor,
Mr.. John Green, did not keep within
this list MIR. Talley would withdraw and
leave them to hold the nomination as
they saw fit.
In this event, however, and in consid-
GRAFTON of the fact that the Democrats,
several years ago, helped the Republic
cans TO elect WIN. NJ. Candy as an inde-
nendent Councilman from the Seventh
ward, Mr.. Talley and his friends would
agree 10 support some leading Democrat
of the ward for City Council.
This il the statement of u responsible
marty. who knows whereof he speaks.
Having received the domination, Mr..
TalIey would scarcely care To make any
alliaoce with the Democrats, but Mr..
Greens friends may oesire 20 take hand
in this little game.

Fire and FistIcuffs.

THE WASHINGTON AND DELAWARE
FIRE COMPANIES ENGAGE IN A
FIGHT WHILE RETURNING FROM
A FIRE.
The alarm of fire yesterday after
noon was caused by the burning of
a frame stable and carriage house
belonging to Thomas l.. Mouseley
and situated on Mouseley's Lane,
Ninth Ward. The building was oc-
cupied by Gotleib Rehfuss. It is
supposed that the fire resulted from
carelessness of a number of bows
who were in the vicinity of the
building a few minutes previous to
the fire being discovered. The
alarm was given by ringing the Old
Academy bell, but before the ell
gines could do any effective work
the building was burned to the
ground, owing to the dry condition
Of the material. The Phoenix and
Friendship companies went into SER
vice, and through their exertions a
house situated near the stable was
saved. Mr.. Mouseley estimates his
loss at 5000, on which there is no
insurance.
Mr.. Rehluss lost set of harness,
and his carriage was also badly
scorched. A horse that was in the
stable at the time fortunately es.
capped.
In returning from the fire the
Delaware, Reliance, Fame Hose and
Washington Fire Companies hose
carriages came in French street to-
gether. When near Eleventh street
the Delaware, which was on the
west side OF the street, attempted te
pass the Washington, whereupor
the latter company attempted tc
gutter the formers hose carriage
Some of the Delaware members re
monstrated, whereupon the director
of the Washington's carriage made
an insulting remark. The remark
had hardly passed his lips before
some one struck him.
This led to a general fight whicl
iaegd for some time with considerabl,
fury. Knock downs ere the order and
number who engaged in the melee bi
he dust. When the fight commenced
those having hold of the ropes of the Reli
ance and Fame Hose, remained at thei
| post, and proceeded on their way home
First AS ssfant Engineer Hubert, VIII,
vas with the Fame, endeavored to auel
the disturbance and partially succeeded
and ordered those pulling the carriage I,
proceed ahead. They had not gone bu
L short distance before the fight wa
again renewed and this time with ell
creased bitterness. John Plumllne
who was with the Washington, wa
knocked down and seriously b. aten anC
kicked about the head aad face. HI
was cut across the temple and wa
so weakened from the loss of blood tina
he had to be carried to his home. Sever
al others were badly bruised, but thei
names could not be ascertained.
The fight created considerable excite
ment, and during its continuance hur
dreds of people crowded the street.
The Washington has habit of attempt
ing to gutter hose carriages of other CON
panies and it has only been two or thre
weeks since they guttered the Fam
Hose carriage at Fourth and Popls
streets with their truck.
During the row the officers of bot
the Delaware and Washington comps
uies used their utmost endeavors t
restore order.

A SILLY SHOT.

HIMSELF INTO TROUBLE.

HOW CAPT. MORTON, OF CHESTER, GOT
HIMSELF INTO TROUBLE.
George Riley, lad residing at "Forty
Acres," came up Market street yesterday
morning, with a cever-sized grain OF
shot under his left eye, one in his right
cheek, and about a dozen imbedded in
his breast. Various s,mpathlgers asked
The cause OF his injuries, and were tear
fully informed that the captain of sand
sloop going up the Christiana had fired
at hun and several other boys, who were
in swimming, and peppered them saw
Sely.
To all II quries as TO the cause of this
rash act of the captain George stoutly
insisted that he and the other boys
"hadn't done nuthin'," and that the
The captain blazed away at them without
the slightest provocation.
Officer Chambers overlook the lad at
Fourth and Market, and escorted him TO
the police station, where a warrant was
soon issued for the arrest of the captain

ferred, one by George Riley and the
others by Harry Pyle, John Mousley and
Charles Hanf who were with George al
the time, and were also peppered with
the shot.
The warrant was promptly served, and

hoard his sloop, which was then lying at
the Harlan & Hollingsworth company's
wharf. Last evening he had hearing
hefore Mayor Almond, and from what
could be Cleaned from the testimony and
other sources, it appeared that as the
sloop passed through Market street
bridge, the boys were III swimming. The
cantain ordered them not to approach

and abusive language. This angered
| the captaln, and while the boys padded
for the shore he went down into the

| After hearing the case the Mayor held
the accused in $4,000 bail for his appear
ance at Court-$500 III each case. He
remained in the cells all night, but this
morning d. e. Buckingham became his
snrety and he was released. He gave as
a reason for the shooting that each time
he makes a trip up the Christiana the
hovs annoy him 50 terribly that at last
he became aggravated beyond eDdur-
ance and determined to teach them a
lesson. None of the boys are seriously
injured, though Riley narrowly escaped
having his left eye destroyed by the
grain of shot that struck so close to 1t.

SECOND EDITION
The Puritan Blood Dying Out.
For the GAZETTE.

For the GAZETTE.
The Puritan blood of the old Bay
State, Massachusetts, is becoming
degenerated and fast dying out. It
is hoped a better class Of people
will succeed them. Read the fol-
lowing:
The Springfield Republican has a
sharp editorial about the repugnance
of Massachusetts, women to the bear
ing of children, and the immoral
and murderous practices which
prevail among them to escape the
responsibilities of motherhood.
Marriage" says the Republican,
"is postponed, concubines substituted
for it, and the birth of children pre-
vented, or else their little lives de-
stroyed by persons married and
unmarried here in Massachusetts"
The mischief is increasing yearly
with the growth of wealth, luxury
and what is called culture. Child
farming, bady-murdering and wet
nursing grow from day to day, and
the native type of original Ameri-
cans in Massachusetts is decreasing,
while the Irish, German and other
foreign elements, who are not yet
"civilized" enough for these cheats
against Nature, are filling up the
ancient homesteads of the Puritan.

We have never regarded washing the bark
with any mixture or solution as of much
importance compared with good general
culture; nevertheless il must be admitted
that those who thus wash the bark have the

washing. but because men who will take
that pains will not be likely to omit the
other requisites of good management
