Sullivan on Another Spree.

PHILADELPHIA, June 12th.-John L. Sui
livan, who has been posing at the National
Theater, broke out last night on an old
time spree and made matters lively about
Ninth and Chestnut streets. He made his
appearance at the Girard House bar after
u oclock and drank himself drunk before
leaving the place. He then stepped across
the street to the Continental Hotel, where
all who appeared were made to scamper
before the infuriated pugiIist At 5 this
morning he returned to the Girard cafe and
demanded something to eat, and going to
the oyster bar consumed six dozen CLAIMS.
This is verified by the attendant, who grew
tired with opening them. After this he
drank considerable whisky, and then, by
main force, several acquaintance took him
10 the Continental. They carried him up
stairs and put him to bed. Being aroused
at II A. N. to take the train for the West, he
became belligerent, and everybody was
compelled to stand back Finally, with
much persuasion, he was dressed, and, after
swallowing pint Of whisky, consented to
go to the depot. Several times he dispersed
the crowd of on-lookers bat was at last
safely seated in car at the Broad-street
depot.

Riot at a Negro Camp Meeting.

COLUMBIA Is. c., June 12th.-News has
been received here of a bloody riot which
occurred on Sunday at negro camp-meet-
ing at Mount Zion Church, about nine
miles from YOrkville. The country colored
people had promulgated the idea that they
did not want the town negroes at their
meeting putin on airs, and in turn the
town negroes had boasted that they would
go to Zion and teach the rural folks les
son in etiquette. Besides the knives and
razors and cheap pistols which go to make
up negros defensive outfit, each party
was well supplied with whisky Scarcely
had the first town contingent arrived when
hostilites began. The conflict was des-
perate and bloody, and ragged for over an
hour, at the end OF which time the country
people were in possession of the field and
the town men in full retreat. The casual
ties, as near as can be learned, were one man
killed, two fatally wounded, and at least
twenty more or less seriously injured. A
general stampede followed the first clash.
The meeting closed without the formality
Of the doxoogy, and frightened negroes Of
both sexes and all ages and conditions
scampered off in every direction.

Another Suit Growing Out OF the Ora
G. Ward Failure.

New YORK, June 12th.-Testimony was
taken before the referee to-day in another
suit growing out of the Grant q Ward fail
ure. John II. Morris, Receiver Of the
Marine Bank, charges that James D. Fish
conveyed to six relatives on December 81,
1888, property that should go to the cred
itors of the bank. G. Spencer, Cashier for
Grant & Ward, testified that the firm capi-
tai was 100000 of cash contributed. U.
s. Grant put in $92 1000; U. s. Grant,
Jr $4,000; Ferdinand Ward, $780,
600. Fish contributed no cash. The
balance of the 100000 was made
up of -four, notes bonds and stocks,
by all the members Of the firm. Spencer
said the loans on securities often ran as
high as 81 000, 900. 1t was frequently the
case that the firm paid more for the use OF
money than it received on loans. Witness
said Fish sometimes drew on his private
account to pay fictitious earnings to depos-
itors. He stated that Grant 4 Ward did a
losing business after February Is, 1882.

California Raisins and Almonds.
New YORK, June 12th-The american
Grocer says of California raisins and al
monds: There is an unreasonable preju-
dice in the East regarding Pacific coast
rasins and nuts, because their Merits have
not been fully tested also IN consequence
of opposition on the part of those interested
in the importation of those foreign grown.
This is narrow feeling, which must give
way to the logic of events Had it not
been for irregularity in the quality of Cali
fornia raisins sent here in former years,
they would have stood higher in favor than
now. We can, however, say the average
quality Of California two-crown loose
Muscatel raisins this season has been
above that of the best imported. OF the
layer, the sale is limited. That style is
fast working out, loose Museatel and Lon
don layers being the fayorites.

mania, Joseph Reber was found drowned
in lndiantown creek, in an isolated por-

the insurance on his life, which
was several hundred thousand dol

for killing the old man. 1t is now alleged
that the usually quiet people between
Swatara and Indiantown Gaps are nightly
aroused By unearthly screams along the
creek, and trustworthy citizens declare
thata strange figure is continually pacing
up and down the pathway where the
crime was committed. 1t flies when

that it is the spirit Ofold man Reber, while

/ WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The report Of
the Dolphin board of examination has been
+ sent to the Attorney General by order of
( Secretary Whitney, with a request for his
opinion as to whether the department is
obliged to accept the vessel regardless Of
the specified defects which the board re-
port they have found in her, including al
legged structural weakness and lack OF
stipulated power.
The concluding portion Of Secretary
Whitney's letter 10 Attorney General
Garland is as follows
1.-The whole matter comes in the end to
this: The government Is not receiving
what il expected. aud had a right TO eX-
pect, from the construction Of this vessel.
The question which desire answered is
whether the department has in the matter
bad bargain simply, which, as between
contracting parties, il must stand to, or
has it a broken contract emitting it to in
sist upon something better.
THE GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION.
Gin connection with this question. l
desire to be advised what is the effect Of
the circumstances that the construction
has been supervised BY government
officials, material passed as sufficient and
workmanship similarly approved from
time 10 time during the construction. The
contract provides for this supervision ana
inspection, and | am advised that it has
taken place as the work has progressed.
Upon this subject | call your
attention to the fourteenth section
OF the contract, which provides that it
shall not under any circumstances De
obligatory upon the party of the second
part TO accept the vessel or any part
thereof 10 be constructed under this con-
tract unless the same shall have been
completed in strict conformity with this
contract, under supervision of the Naval
Advisory Board, and in accordance with
the provisions of the act of Aug. D, 1882"
etc.
SIT BAR?
"If the supervision and inspection that
has been had is a bar, so that the depart
ment cannot go back and examine the
work passed and approved by its inspect
ors and by the Naval Advisory Board,
that ends the confederation OF the matter.
If il is not a bar, how far is the contractor
responsible for the speed. strength and
general workmanship Of the vessel. and
what are the remedies Of the department
under the circumstances? ! more willing
~ avail myself Of the privilege Of refer
ring this matter to your judicial judgment
and advice, lest that, in a spirit of resent
ment at this result. l should be unjust"
