About ten minutes before l2o'clOck last
night a bold and outrageous attempt was
made by three unknown parties to murder
Officer Ed Duty, The assault was made
made at the west eud Of the Manchester
bridge, and seven shots were fired at Dnt'

Officer Duffy, whose beat comprises oil

Third-A district much too large for any
one man to patrol-had gone out into the
eastern limits Of his beat TO look alter
SOME suspiciOus characters reported to DO
prOwliug around in that nCighborhood.
Being in tho vicinity Of the bridge, he
crossed over to take look. around in Alan-

On his way back, as no started on the

the west end. When near them they
moved slowly towards the board walk run

10 entertain any proposition that would
interfere with those obligations, and they
so informed the nailer.
The situation remained unchanged until
the meeting Of the Nail Association in
January oil the present year, except that
the manufacturers had been daily adding
to the machines in operation. Then q
Conference Committee was appointed and
the nailers advised Of such appointment,
The nailers declined 10 meet in confer.

powers Of the committee, which was done
and q conference held on the oath day OF
February, 1885, but without any result,

should remain undisturbed, and the nail
eEs refusing to recognize them or work in
the factories with them.
A subsequent conference was held at
the request Of the pailers, when the ques-
ton OF the new Workmen WAS waived, so
lar us to permit them to remain in the
mills, provided other questions could be
satisfactorily settled. At this conference
the manufacturers stated that the heating
furnaces had been changed in many OF
the mills and that no uniform prices could
be fixed for heating, that would be equit-
able and just, and that this question must
necessarily be referred to the several mills
and their workmen for settlement, accord

This lisa brief statement OF the matter
In controversy which we think will not be
called in question.
We do not deem it necessary to reply
to the hard names aud denupClationA IN
which the Executive Board OF the Nailers,
Rollers and Heaters have SO freely in
dulgGd, knowing that abuse and deiRma'
ton are not arguments, and that while
such things may excite, they do not con.
vince, calm and intelligent public will
readily discern "who have been Gripping
the business OF the community, depre

They will understand who should BIZ

A SLIGHT FIsTIcUFF.
EE,Onosr joe Baron strikes al Clerk Tom
DRFFRh.

DRTFRh,
Shortly before o'clock last evening
Joe Balum, the ex.polissman, who is now
keeping a saloon in the Second ward
market square, assaulted Clerk DarTah, Of
the Municipal Courts, while they were
engaged in a conversation in the counting
room Of the Register. Only one light blow
was struck, then the men clinChed, and
before any further damage could be done
by-standers parted the men.
Barum went over to Bridgeport and
Darrah went down to the Central station.
The occurrence, taking place at an hour
when large number OF people were on
the streets, naturally caused considerable
excitement, and many exaggerated ru-
mors regarding the affair were soon flying
about.
A few minutes before the scrimmage
took place Barum and friend called on
Darrah at his private rooms in the Bailey
block for the purpose Of demanding an ex-
PLANTATION OF some statements about him
contained In an article that appeared In
the Register few days since, The article
purported to be an interview with Darrah
about his famous order in relation to
keeping persons out Of the lookup at the
Central station, and in 1t were several
things about Barum. lu their CONVERSE
ton last evening Darrah admitted making
portion OF the statements, but that por-
ton Barum objected to, he charged Bob
Junkins with making. BArum doubted
this statement and asked Darrah to go to
the Register office and see the writer OF
the article, DRrrah consented to do this,
and they went to the Register Office. Here
one word led to another, the lie was
passed and Barum struck at Darrah, who
lodged and only got o slanting blow on
the right cheek. A slight abrasion was
made by ring Bsrum wore,
BArum, It ia said, cherished anger
against DarrRh for making an offensive re-
mark 10 him few days since at police
court. It is said that he then threatened
to whip him when he met him elsewhere,
BSrum stopped on the Island to talk
with friend. In the meantime war
rant had been issued for him, and tele-
phone message was sent to Officer Lukens,
on the Island, to arrest Barum. The lat
ter heard the telephone call, and suspect
ing what was up, went on over 10 Ohio,
LIkens pursued, but Barum reached
Bridgeport safely, with the officer about
ten yards behind him.
BGrum told friend that he only went
to Ohio to escape being locked up over
night, and that he would return and ap.
pear in police court this morning, He
returned yesterday from q visit to his
brother, at Mapsfeld, Pa, where he has
about completed arrangements to go into
business II he can sell his saloon here at
anything like fair price.

A week or two ago "Yank" Kinney and
Willard White had fight on the South
Side, and warrants were sworn out in
police court for them. Officers Killeen
and Stephens have been after Kinney
since, knowing that White would come
when wanted. Kinney is one Of the
owners OF a house boat lying at the river
bank, and when the officers have come in
sight he would make Tor the boat house,
get into q john boat aud row out in the
river. In this manner he evaded arrest
for some time. Yesterday Stephens and
,Kileen went after him again, and he made
for his boat and showed out into the
river. Killeen left, but Stephens resolved
to have his man, aud he got him, running
considerable risk and showing good
deal OF pluck in doing so. He waited
until Kinney, in padding about on the
water, came up within six or eight feet Of
the boat house, and then the officer bold.
ly and suddenly leaped into the boat.
II careened, and out went Kinney into
the river. Stephens himself narrowly
escaped, but he staid in the wet boat,
while Kinney stood in the water up to
his arm pits. Finally the latter gave up,
saying ii was too d. cold, aud surrend.
cred. lie was locked up, and White sub
sequently arrested.
