Fight between Africa ana TeutOn.

Last evening about e O'Clock consid.
cradle excitement foil owed the coils
ion of C. 8. Middleton'S grocery wagon
with the vehicle of countryman.
The driver Of the grocer wagon, Daniel
Douglas, by some mishsp ran into the
wagon of the csuntryman throwing cut
the occupant but without doing pjury to
either the wagon or its occupant.
Standing by was Councilman Adele
who got little excited and called
"Dan," some vary uncomplimentary
names bordering on profanity. Dan
responded in like spirit and the con-
sequence was personal encou inter.
Africa and Teuton met and then came
the tug Of war. Adele thought Dan
was too lippy for a niger" and
ought to be arrested. Dan didn't care
much how soon he was arrested and he
'ieSt was goin to drive dat az wagin as
Massa Middleton druv it,"
The bardyirg Of words went on IN.
til the Fourth ward Councilman got
very much eTasperated and struck
DAN blow across the forehead. Dan
resented the attack, by planting his
right hand under the lower jaw OF his
Teuton foe, with such force that his
teeth chartered, and speech immsdi-
ately stopped. A son Of the Councilman
intertered and vas about using brick
bat upon Dams head, but outsiders In

IL He In West Chester.


Under the head of Tan elopement'
the Chester Daily Times Of the 2lst
contains the following: Henry Smith
a young German about 26 years Of age,
who follows the business Of gardening,
came to grief about two weeks ago, his
wife clipping with man we'll known
here, named Daniel Mckinley. Smith
Ii, ed in Chester and Ridley township
for about nine years prior TO last April,
and followed gardening, working for
Col. Hyatt and others In this locality.
He has been married about eight years,
and always lived happily with his wife,
who ia about % years Of age, q short
spare woman, and q native Of Eingses-
sing. Since April Smith has been liv.
ing at Centre Square, Montgomery
county, and was employed by William
Sirgerly, OF the Philadelphia Record.
One evening about two weeks ago, Nc
Ginley went to Smiths house while he
was out at work, and induced Mrs.
Smith 10 elupe with him. The Smiths
have little daughter about seven years

her husband nothing but the furniture.
When he came home he was surprised
to find his wife and child gone. He
searched the entire neighborhOOd, but
could not find them. He came 70 Ches-
ter, thinking they had come here, but
they were not to be found. He is still
in search OF them, and all he has
learned about them is that they have
gone to West Chester to live. Mr..

child he would be satisfied. Mckinley
is about n years Of age, having dark
hair and a red mustache, and Smith
