The man managed to get through the

together about seventy men and started
| at once for tho scene Of trouble. Juh
sent out party, vino engaged them in a
fight and prevented the relieving party
from joining the POlitico. The rescuers

THE RING.

"A Glove Fight That Ended In u Row.
The principal attraction at Harry Hills
theatre Thursday afternoon was boxing
match between Marius Grant and Charles
Hadley, colored lightweight champions.
The set to was q friendly one. in four
rounds, according to Marquis of Queens
bury rules. Harry Hill acted as referee,
and time was called for the first round at
exactly sis p. m. Both men, who ap-
peared to be equally favorites with the
large number of sporting men who crowd
ed the hall in every portion came upon
the stage wearing hard gloves, and from
the start it was easy to see that Hadley
was the better man of the two. Some
ugly blows were given and received, the
men finally clinching and pummeling each
other soundly, and finally retiring to their
separate corners thoroughly "blown."
When time was again called Hadley as
sumed the offensive and drove his antag-
onist all about the stage, chased him twice
into the dressing room and wound up by
stretching him upon his back on the floor.
Grants hackers then threw up the sponge
and Hill declared Hadley the winner of
the Police Gazette medal. remarking that
he had won it three times already and was
prepared to defend it against all comers.
AT this juncture George Cooley, a col.
ored man, who had acted throughout as
Grant g second rushed to the front, in
heated condition aud asserted that he
could d" lick any 120 pound nigger in the
country" You can have it now, if you
like" shouted Hadley, angrily, throwing
down his gloves and striking Cooley fairly
in the face. Tho two men then jumped
into each other furiously, and in an in
slant the place was thrown into the great
est confusion. Men mounted chairs and
tables and screamed themselves hoarse.
and the crowd hurried down tho islo, and.
seizing the combatauts, dragged them
struggling behind tho scenes. Mr.. Hill
came to tho front and deplored the little
misunderstanding, adding that as the en-.
tire affair occurred in the heat of the mo-
ment he hoped it would be overlooked and
excused. The excited audience were then
dismissed.

THE IMMACULATE CuNCEPrION
An Important Feast Day IN the Catholic
Church.

An Important Feast Day IN the Catholic
Church.
Few fcasts of tho Catholic church arc
held in higher esteem and none appeal
more strongly to the tender sentiments of
the human heart than that of the 1mmacu-
late Conception, which is celebrated by
the Catholics throughout the world to day.
As its name emplies, it is the commence
ration of the great fact that the Blessed
Virgin, the Mother of God, was conceived
and born into tho world without the stain
of original sin. For centuries it has been
a matter of belief among piOus souls, but
it was not formally defined as an article
of faith until Dec. s, 1854, when Plus IN,
with the unanimous assent Of the greatest
theolOgians of the church, proclaimed it
as q necessary doctrine Of belief. At St.
Mary's. church the Blessed Virgins altar
was handsomely adorned with flowers and
evergreens, ard handsome new carpet
laid within tho sanctuary was a noticea.
BILE feature in the decoration. The day is
also remarkable as being the occasion for
the renewal of the VOWS of the Sisters Cf
Charity, which ceremony took place at an
early hour this morning in the private
chapel Of the Sisters home on South
Queen street. The vcsper service at 81.
Mary's church will be at 1:30 this evening.
Similar service were held in the other
Catholic churches.

SupernuOus Offices.

Tt does not strike the Wilkesblrre
UniOn-Lcadcr as the proper thing -
for the more prominent and experienced
Democratic members of the Legislature
who are candidates for speaker to "unite
in a call upon their Democratic fellow
members to meet in caucus and deter,
mine how many. of the present offices
appended to the House organization can
be dispensed with" The Union Leale,
has misgivings that the one who
should want to do away with the great
est number of offices, would be the
highest bidder for the speakership, and
that it would be knocked down to that
one ;"or, like as not, in the view of our
contemporary, it might be "that one
who should want to do away with the
fewest offices would thereby secure the
greatest number of votes for speaker ~
For such a dilemma rs the Leader seems
to be in, from these widely varying con.
siderations, we can prescribe no relief.
It hardly needs to be informed, we
trust, that one of the issues of the late
campaign was Democratic opposition to
the creation and maintenance of sine
cures at Harrisburg. Any member of the
Legislature who is not for their abel.
tion ought not to be elected speaker, and
the selection of any such a one will be a
breach OF faith with the people fol
which the party will suffer when next it
comes before the people.
The Union Leader further presents ills
views thus
The indication of what legislative Offices
are sinccures should be left to the people,
or to the entire Legislature. The more
enterprising of the newspapers, who are
40 situated as to be able to afford the ex-
pense, might begin by instituting a series Of
interviews with old Legislature-men as to
their opinion on this subject. and thus di.
rect tho current of popular thought there.

Besides this is business in which the
Democratic party can afford to make ha ste
with sufficient slOwness to be certain that
bad is not made worse. To maintain all
tho sinecures through another session
even, would not be SO grave an error as to
undertake the work Of reform in too great
haste and ballk. delay or imperil the paE-
lie interests by abo:ishing Offices that
