4 Drunken Negro Makes Things Lively
in a Market Restaurant.

III % AaEhtG htSNduEaHts
Charles Grimes is the proprietor of res
taurant No. in the market basement.
About - o'clock last night
drunken negro wandered into his
place and sat down at one of
the tables and amused himself by
smashing a castor and what dishes were
within his reach. Before he could be got
under control he jumped up and ran out
of the basement up the stone steps at the
eastern end of the market, where ne fell,
cutting a deep cash in his forehead, but
managed to get into the street, where
he made brief race towards
johnson square. The restaurant man
gave chase and yelled ''StOp tkiefP' The
Burglar Alarm police in the cOmpany's
office, on st. Jnlian and Whitaker streets,
hearing the disturbance, ran out and
captured the negro, and held him until
the arrival Of the city police, to whom he
was turned over and taken to the bar
racks.
The affair created quite an excitement
in the vicinity Of the market, and a crowd
was attracted by the noise and shouts of
the pursuing restaurant keeper.

TiIden Declines.

AT last it is positively settled that
Mr.. Samuel j. Tildeu, the rightfully
elected but defrauded President of
1876, declines to allow the use Of his
name for the Presidential nomination
at the approaching Chicago conven-
ton. A letter written by Mr.. Tilden
himself, is published, 10 which he alb
solutely rcnounces all claim to the
nomination on account Of his physical
inability to assume the burdens Of the
campaign and the duties of the office.
The letter is an admirable document
in itself, clearly bearing the impress of
the mastery genius of the author and
portrays in q striking manner the i'm
portance and responsibility of the Pres
idcntial office. To the intimate friends
of Mr.. Tildcn, and in fact the people
at large, the letter of declination will
be no surprise. In retiring forever
from public and active political life,
the venerable statesman of Gramcrcy
has the satisfaction and consolation of
knowing that he has the universal con-
fidence and respect of the Democratic
party. The duty of the party now will
be to select the most available candi-
date who can carry New York State
with other states credited to the De-
mocracy and thus insure an undoubted
and complete victory Providence

Gus Davis, Of Philadelphia, came tt
Camp Rio Pecos, N. NJ, some months
ago, and was engaged as cattle herd.
CT by Mr., John Shurc, wealthy stock
owner. Davis soon showed himself to
be useful man, and gained the esteem
of his employer and the envy Of the
other hcrders. In less than three
months he had resisted so many tempt
atoms to quarrel with his Mexican as
sociatcs that he was nick-named "lho
Northern Coward"
One morning about three weeks ago,
while Davis was on duty looking after
his cattle, Jesus Garcia, Mexican,
saluted him, MS usual, with "Good
morning, Northern Coward,
Human endurance has its limit, and
Mr.. Davis thought he had been insultod
long enough. The Mexican was at
first surprised at the stand taken by the
Phladelphian, but word brought CD
word, until each determined that the
other must die,
The quarrel soon brought all the
neighboring cowboys to the spot, The
mode of combat was speedily arranged.

dagger, two-odgcd knife six inches
long was given to each OF the duelists
The obliging cowboys then lowered the
men into along canon scvcnty-live feet.
There they were to remain until the
one killed the other. a key to the lock
was given to each, and no one was al.
lowed to interfere further. The rest OF
the cowboys then went to work, as il
nothing usual had occurred.
For some days nothing was known
as to the result of the encounter. Yes.
terday, however, Davis, very weak and
cmaciated, returned to camp, dragging
after him the lifoless body OF Jesus
Garcia
The story that Mr.. Davis tells is as
follows: "The fight began as soon rs
we reached the bottom Of the canon.
Being locked together, each was always
in reach of the others knife. After
such elaboration rs the few moments
during our descent permitted decided
that unless the first blow were fatal,
the chances were decidedly in favor OF
the party assailed, accordingly al
lowed the Mexican to strike the first
blow. He plunged his knife into my
side. As soon as found his arm thus
stretched forward, cut the muscles OF
his right arm near the shoulder. I'M
mediatcly his knife dropped. While he
was STOPPING to pick up his knife, |
sent my blade into his body from the
back Before | could strike again he
had picked up his knife and cut the
cords of my arms, so as 10 render them
