Yesterdays Pitched but Bloodless Bat
ties
When the hostilities in connection
with the Goshorn, Kennedy fence war
ceased the early part OF the week, the
fence was still standing, but owing to
Mr.. Goshorn's announcement that he
intended to remove the same, to keep
well posted it was thought best, to estab-
lish war correspondent on the scene.
Everything remained quiet until yester-
day morning when dispatches COM
menced pouring in, and they were kept
up all day. They were as follows:
SEAT OF WAR, MARKET ALLEY,
June 30. 4:30 A. NJ.
Specials TO theResister.
Very Unexpectedly the Goshorn forces
approached the Kennedy battlements
early this muning, and before any re-
sistance could be made, had the same
leveled to the ground. 1t was quickly
done, after whichthe forces withdrew.
No 2, $50 A. N-Rumor has it that
the Kennedy ores when awakened bv
the noise of the falling walls thought
their castle was Icing invaded by van
d4ls. Truth OF the rumor not known.
Surrounding Inhabitants were awaken
ened by the noise.
No. ,, lP. M.-General Goshorn was
not seen again until late hour. At
this hour, the KHnedy fDrces have re-
built the walls.
No 4, 3P M.-kennedy was not about

ed and again thefence went down. At
this time a young female belonging
to the Kennedy forces, delivered led
hot speech directed against Goshorn.
No. 5, 4:30 p. M.-General Kennedy
has just returned and is busy again
erec ing the WALL.
No. g, 7:30 4. A.N.-A summary OF the
day fnIs no one killed, wounded or
missing, although a rumor is current
that one party hit his thumb with ham
mer. Hostil,is are suspended for the
night. What tie morrow will bring
forth is not known. Go3holn still waves
a deed, providing for 20 foot alley in
the rear and proposes to swim the sea
OF slaughter but what he will have it.

A GOOD joke is told on Officer Morris:
Wednesday the car was showed out on
the Hempfeld track, on which were the
two statues to be placed on the Soldiers
mOnument-one a soldier, the other
sailor. They were almost entirely box
ed up, but some boys spied them and
told Morris that there were two men
lurking around the cars massed at that
point. Morris thirsting for excitement
and adventure started out immediately,
and ior a lorg time he could be heard
knocking about the cars, while the boys
at the corner were nearly dying with
laughter. "Dom" at last came out, and
with some muttered remarks about fell
lows that fool with cope, started out to-
wards the Lava Beds TO see that ''all is
quiet in he Fourth ward"

crew got off first. The Cornell crew, to
avoid another contretemps, made for the
bushes on the Bucks side. They rowed
very well TO the Rectory, but there com.
menced bad steering which utterly de-
stroyed their chance. The Thames club
crew, rowing in grand form from that
point, forged persistently ahead, uti-
mately winning the heat. Time OF heat
= minutes SO seconds.
