III. Troublesome I.s,,sus.

A trouble occurred on Saturday after
noon between Patrick MallOy, a con
, tractor Tor grading u section OF the new
Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad
and his gang OF Italian laborers. II
seems that the section contracted for by
Mal!oy, and which IL in the vicinity OF
Front and Webb streets, IL now COM
pleted, and as he has another contract
for grading section near Havre dt
Grace, he wished TO keep the men ! Il
his employ.
Wien he called them together for a
final settlement, he tried to explain &c
them that he intended to keep two dol
lars off each mans pay, to secure theil
continuing with him. The Italians did
not uIdei stand the matter, and seemed
10 think that he was trying TO cheat
hem Of their hard earnings
The consequence was that they held
an Indignation meeting, at which
violent speeches were made in theil
nativ e language. They finally decided
10 burn the Office of the contractor al
Front and Webb streets. but tMr. Malloy,
who had become alarmed, sent for the
police and frustrated their designs
Sergeant HatfOn with a number OF
officers went to the place and madt
every effort to discover the ring leaders,
bur without avail, and the others, after
The matter WAS explained to them by
an interpreter, were fully satisfied
and agreed to continue in the employ oI
the contractor.

About 10 o'clock last Saturday night
as officer NiCkers was passing down
King street he came across "A party ct
half-drunken young men at Third
street, who were acting in "A very dis.
orderly manuer. He told them they
would have to desst, when one of them
by lhe name of Jones cursed him, and
said that he could not take any one ouI
of that crowd.
The officer tried TO reason with them,
but this only seemed to make them
worse, and IN exchange for his kind
words they gave him curses. Finding
that nothing else would avail he took
hold Of Jones, with the intention Of
taking bim to the hall, but just as he
was starting the crowd closed around
him, and one Of them, named Curlett
undertook to take his prisoner from
him. Tn" officer told him twice to let
90 of Jones, and as he did not pay any
attention to the order knocked him
down, and requested Il citizen to bring
him along to the hall.
When the party reached Fourth
street the crowd again closed around
them, and the officer, after calling on
hose around IN vain for assistance
| threatened to shoot the first man that
interferr"d with him. This had tn,

terday is a neat brick structure, 30x5O

rooms. The main room has seating
capacity for about $50 persons. This
room was tastefully decorated yester-
day with eyergreens and flowers, while
in the rear Of the pulpit the American

cost of the binding was about 1900,
but as considerable of the work was done
by the members tn mselves, this was
somewhat diminished.
