COlOred Ball and Fight.

Last night the colored people of Lancas
ter held a ball in the second story of Full.
ton hall which was largely attended not.
withstanding the warm weather. There
was no quarreling, but the noise made by
the coons was enough to stop train OF
cars.
"George,' porter at the Grape hotel,
did not go to the ball last night, so when
he met William Williams at the depot this
morning, the latter wanted to know his
reason for staying away, George was not
slow in telling that he did not entertain a
very high opinion of some of the mokes
who attend balls here, and that was one
reason for his absence. William thought
George was ''goin' back on he's cullah, P" SO
they got into quarrel while walking down
North Queen street. William struck at
George, but did not hit him, and
George says he then hit Williams
call over de mouf.' Williams started
to run, and both men fell in the gutter
near the Franklin house, where they were
separated. They went off in different
directions, each declaring that they could
whip the other, who was an "onery Mig
ger anyhow" Neither was hurt, but the
fight caused lots of fun.

AN OLD CASE.
Tho Prison inspectors v. The New H0lla
Store COmp3uy.


Tho Prison inspectors V. The New Holland
Store Company.
Before Alderman Barr, this morning,
was heard the case of the Lancaster coun-
ty prison inspectors vs.. the stockholders
of the New Holland store company, a cor
poration that has been defunct
for five or six years past.
The facts appear to be that former
board of prison inspectors had dealings to
considerable extent with the store COM
pany and that there is an apparent bal
ance in favor of the prison of eighty
dollars or more. The store company
was bought out some six years ago
by Levi Sensenig & Co., and il is said that
Mr.. Sensenig, who was one of the stock
holders, had the management of the store
for some years before it was sold out.
The present defendants, some fifteen or
twenty in number, say they know nothing
about the claim made by the prison in
spectors, and even if the account has never
been settled it is barred by the statute of
limitation. Solicitor Boyer appears for
the prison inspectors and E. II. Yundt,
esq.,, for defendants.

ROwdies Routed.

Last night, between and Q O'Clock,
Michael German and Christian Swartz ell
tered the barroom of the Grape hotel
North Queen street, and called for drinks,
which were given them. ''Charge 'em to
the boss,' said one of the men, to the bar
tender. They were told by the bartender
to leave the room, but refused to do SO,
and then Mr.. Finney, the proprietor, came
in and told them to leave quietly, and not
come back again, as he did not desire their
custom. German, the larger Of the two,
attacked Finney, and a struggle ensued,
during which Swartz also struck Mr.. Fin
ney. Mr.. Finney, who had pretty well
overpowered German, dealt Swartz
blow that sent him sprawl
ing out of the back door of the bar
room and then pushed German out after
him. AS they continued to be boisterous
and defiant Mr.. Finney notified the police,
and they were arrested by Officers Crcmer
and Harman. On the way to the lookup
German, who was in charge of Officer Har-
man, resisted, and when Officer Cremer
went to his assistance Swartz took to his
heels and ran off and has not yet been ar
rested, but no doubt Will be. Complaints
have been entered against both of them
and they will have hearing before AL
derman Barr.

That Inter-COunty Bridge.

On Tuesday Jacob NJ. Zook and William
Mode Elliott, two of Chester county's
commissioners were over at Mercer ford,
ON the Octoraro creek, where an inter
county bridge is asked for by the people of
Chester and Lancaster counties, the Octo-
raro creek being the dividing line. They
expected to meet the commissioners of
Lancaster county at that place and time,
but failed to do SO. There was a large
crowd Of people from each county present,
who were in favor of the bridge, but moth
ing was done and the commissioners of
Chester county were obliged to return
home without coming to any conclusion.
This is the second time that there has been
a misunderstanding Oh the part of the
Chester county officials as to the time of
the proposed meeting, which is nert Tues
day.

Wine for Females and Invalids.

1t is well known that there are cases when
the most strict advocates of temperance are
obliged to use some sort of wine, especially
those who are old and infirm. Many weakly
females as well as invalids and debilitated per.
sons in warm weather need a little strengthen.
ing wine. The great difficulty has been in pro
curing a rich wine that is reliable. There arc
many cases where wine would be used to great
advantage in place OF alcoholic drinks if only
Il genuine article could be had, and upon
which physicians could rely as being strictly
pure, without alcoholic admixture. The Port
Grape Wine Of Alfred Speer, of Passaic. New
Jersey, has been analysed by chemists in
almost every state, and has always been proved
strictly pure and beneficial. This wine is new
being used in hospitals and in families for me
dicinal purposes, also in churches for cOmmu
MON services. Mr.. Speer's mode OF conducting
the fermentation is such as to retain the rich
flavOrand sweetness of the fruit without ucf
fermentation to create stimulative properties.
Transcript.
This wine is endorsed by Drs. Atlee and
Davis, and sold by H. f. Slaymaker.

board of pardons and the pardoning power
of the governor and thus set all justice

Man Missing.

William Gerald, soldier aged about
40 years, who had been stopping at John
SchOenberger's fremont house, North
Queen street, left that place last Wednes-
day evening and has not since been heard
of. He had been sick for several days
previous, and as he left his baggage at the
hotel and made no mention of his inten-
ton of leaving, it is feared something may
have happened him. Any information
concerning him would be thankfully re-
&C ived by Mr.. Schoenberger.
