Capt Peck, demented old colored
man, was roughly used by young negro
fellow named Green yesterday morning.

OF 1t, and he made a move toward him,
when Green drew a knife and inflicted
several painful wounds on the old mans
head. Constable Nathans chased Green
around several blocks, but was unable to

The May party at ArmOry Hall, which
was to have taken place last Friday, and
was postponed, will take place next Friday.

the proceeds are intended is an excellent

a popular one. In the afternoon the very
little girls will select May Queen from
list of three candidates, and there will be
suitable games for all little children. In
the evening the young misses from IL to Is
years Of age will choose May Queen, and
there will be dancing. There will be re-
freshments, of course, and no means will be
spared to make the party great success.
Mr.. j. Gardner had on exhibition yester-
day peculiar double colored rose, grown
from a Seeding by Mr.. A. c. Oelschig. The
rose is a hybrid, about the size of Her Mai
esty variety, and from its rare beauty it has
been named by Mr. Oelschig
tho Mrs Cleveland rose 1t is
the only one yet grown from the bush, and
whether the others will have the same peca-
liarities remains to be seen. The rose, as
nearly as it can be, is half red and half
pink. 1t is not a variegated rose, for the
blossom extends to the leaves, and the
dividing line is clearly marked. One half of
the leaf is a deep red and the other bright
pink. If the peculiar mark of the rose
extends to the variety, it will be one of the
most popular roses in the market
