LEMON IN HOT WATER.
He Gets what He Has Long Been Thirst
ing For.

About half past five O'Clock, yesterday
afternoon, E. N. Vallandigham, the editor
of E0Ory EVening, left his Office at Fifth and
Shipley and quietly took his way up Market
street. He arrived in front of the store of
David Lemon, No. S31, just as Lemon drove
up in a carriage and alighted on the side
walk with whip in his hand.
Lemon, 1t will be remembered, probably,
was the hopelessly defeated Home Rule
candidate, for City Council from the Fifth
ward at the recent election. In calling at
tention TO his candidacy Evsry Evening re-
marked that ."Mr. Lemon has long been
an Ishmaelite in business and politics, his
hand against every man and every mans
hand against him, and IN Council he would
simply be a fire brand, perpetual source of
discord and strife"
This riled the belligerent Home Ruler
and for several days he has been boastiDg of
what he intended to do as soon as he met
Mr.. Vallandigham, his evident intention
being to utterly crush that gentleman. The
pugnacious confectioner, however, learned
that "the best laid plans o. mice and men
gang aft aglee," and that the editors fist is
very nearly as mighty as his pen.
When the Home Ruler saw the editor
coming leisurely along he bristled up TO him
and demanded In language equally loud and
abusive why Mr.. Vallandigham had villifed
him, at the same time suggestively finger
ing the whip he held in his hand, to which
the editor very calmly replied by informing
Mr.. Lemon that his general reputation In
the community furnished q sufficient b. els
for the remarks to which he objected.
after q few more words had passed
Lemon savagely applied to Mr.. Vallandig-
ham a vulgar and indecent epithet, to which
the tall and muscular young editor replied
with sharp blow with his fist on Lemons
mouth, causing the blood to appear.
Lemon theu closed with his adversary and
the two men fell or stumbled against tie
trays OF fruit and nuts in front OF the store,
and the sidewalk was soon covered with
lemons animst te and nanimate. Some spec
tators interiered and separated the two,
when Lemon, who was in an ungoVernable
rage, at the unexpectedly rough handling
he had encountered, seized cocoanut and
manifested disposition to cripple the young
editor. He was prevented from throwing
the weapon which nature has furnished for
the use Of monkey warfare, and then, rush
ing into his store, seized heavy iron weight
and was on his CORY way to again "demolish''
Mr.. Vallandigham, who stood serenely by
with his weather eye open. The second
| missile was taken from the Home Ruler
who then began to villify the object of his
| wrath in choice Lemonsgate style, but at &
safe distance from the EDITORS arm. Being
convinced that no further assaults would be
made upon him the EUery Evening editor
resumed his afternoon walk as If nothing
had happened.

MUNICIPAL COURT OBJECTIONS.
Acting Judge Grubb ExplOdes the AbsurC

At the conclusion Of the hearings at the
Municipal Court this morning Acting Judge
Grubb said :
Before adjourning this sitting feel 1t my
duty both to the public and to this court,
to call attention to certain newspaper mis-
statements which are calculated to mislead
public sentiment as well as to embarrass the
administration Of police here.
The following taken from the columns of

have selected this from others because
can personally vouch for It's incorrectness.
As was appointed by Judge Wales to act
for Judge Cummins during the latter's ab-
sence yesterday and to-day, and as had OBJ

during those hours except while | sat here
about half an hour from 10 to 1870 a. m
During the day had but one call for a

only. No one came to ask for warrant

rioters, although had spoken with the
High Constable on the subject In the morn.
ing, and despite the fact that my Office and
place of residence is well known to police OF
this city. / DO not mean here TO imply that
the police have been negligent of their duty.
l am rather inclined TO believe that the
newspaper statements are based upon idle
talk of ignorant or irresponsible persons and
are unjust to both the executive and the
judiciary department of the city But it IL
well just here to inform the public that it ii
the duty of the police department of the city
and not of the judicial department to look
up offenders and see that they are brought
to justice.
This court will see that those who are
brought before it are duly attended to as the
law provides, and any person who will ap
ply to the Mayor or the city police can ascer
tain where q warrani can by had at the
proper and reasonable time.
If anyone shall complain of failure
to procure warrant In a proper
case during yesterday or to-day, the
blame shall not fully rest in the Judicia
Department of the City. The success and
safety OF popular government depends upon
the people, respect and obedience to exist
ing laws. Those who negligently or recklessl,
do that which teaches disrespect or anC
disobedience to law and constituted author

BLEYER BENEFIT.
Performance at the Opera HOuse-A
Grand Success.


Grand Success.
The Grand Opera House was filed last
night with flrst-class audience TO enjoy the
benefit performance for the family of the
late John H. Bleyer. 1t was performance
which will be a memol able one to those
present, and an event worthy of the highest
praise. The Philharmonic orchestra, the
Catholic choirs, the Apollo Society and the
Delaware Sengerbund all gave evidence of
thorough training, under their indefatiga-
BILE director, G. B. Rhoads, to whom the
success of the performance is mainly due.
Miss Helen Bancroft, the cele-
b-ated young emotional actress, who
had come from New York, accom-
panied by Myron Leffingwel and L. M.
Ruben, to given their valuable support, ap-
peared to the greatest advantage and mer-
tied the deserved applause bestowed upon
them. When Miss Bancroft appeared in the
well-known balcony scene, she was greeted
with storm ofhearty applause. She showed
great emotional powers as Juliet, acted with
fervor and spirit, spoke her lines as though
she felt them, and took the part to per-
fection. In the parting scene, she dis
played great power, and was ably supported
by Mr.. Leftingwell. Mr.. Ruben, although
suffering from a cold, showed admirable
training and won an encore. There can be
no doubt of the success of Miss Bancroft as
capable and efficient young actress. Mis-
Currinder and Mr. Robert Walters sang
their duet very satisfactorily. The male
quartet, by Messrs. Helm, Walters, Shank
and We'll gave much pleasure. 1t is to be
hoped that an opportunity will 500 n be
offered to hear this combination again.

DEATH OF WELLS.
The Man Shot at Scheutzen Park on Tues
day Dies from His Wound.

day Dies from His Wound.
George Wells, colored, the man who was
shot in the abdomen during the disgraceful
row at Scheutzen Park, on Tuesday after
noon, died last night. Philip H. Burton,
who was terribly beaten and had bis head
severely cut during the same fight, was In q
very precarious condition last night, and
doubts we're expressed as to his recovery.
Another young colored man, barber en-
ployed by Stansbury Muarray, is also suffer
ing from Il beating received.
Wells was shot by Burton, who is said to
have acted altogether in self-defence, and
when 80 cornered that his life was in dan
ger. When the shot was fired Wells had
hold of Burton, while a number Of other
enraged negroes beat him over the head with
beer glasses, clubs, black jacks, etc. Burton
was probably saved from being killed out
right by the presence of his wife who threw
her arms around his neck and kept the mob
back as best she could.
Coroner Smith will hold an inquest to-
day, and Burton, II he lives, will no doubt
be held for the shooting of Wells. If he
dies, however, all efforts will be made to dis
cover who were his assailants and steps
taken to have them brought to justice. Bur
ton has the reputation of being very peace
able and well disposed black man.

A REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.
-Four Kittens Buried for Eighteen Hours
Are Alive When Resurrected.


Four Kittens Buried for Eighteen Hours
Are Alive when Resurrected.
A circumstance happened to a young
married man living in the upper end Of the
city which TO his mind clearly and indis-
putably proves the correctness of the old
saying "that a cat has nine lives" On
Monday last q cat gave birth to four kittens
which he decided to make way with. He
accordingly procured bucket of water and
having US he supposed drowned the kittens
buried them under about IS inches of dirt
upon which he stamped vigorously.
The following day his wife who
happened In the yard heard pecu-
liar and smothered sound and noticed
the old cat acting very strangely over the
grave of her young. Proceeding to the spot
she was astonished to hear the kittens new
ing, and Immediately dug them up and found
that all four were still alive and kicking,
Notwithstanding the fact that that they had
been under ground Is hours. When her
better-half returned home he was told of the
strange occurrence which he could hardly
credit, even after seeing the kittens walking
about. Unlike many others this young
man did not take this remarkable case as an
i'll omen and Let the cats live, but decided
forthwith to drown them over again, which
he did, but this time made sure that they
were dead by keeping them under water for
three hours At the end OF that time he re-
buried them in the same grave and is nov
trying to make a bet that the cats are dead
but can get no takers.
