tween about twenty negroes, who had as
sombled in the grove for game OF base

gess, Marcus Davis. and three other white
men, who were returning from beer
drinking. Marcus Davis, who was some
distance ahead Of the rest. came up 10 the ne
grOcS and bad some words, resulting in
scuille. The others seeing DAVIS imposed
upon wcat 10 his assistance. Cummins was
knocked down and received wound on The
leit side OF his head about two and hail
inches IN length. His left eye was also
uadly bruised and he got cut OF an inch
or more on the back Of his head. He stated
that there were several plstOl-sbots
fired within three feet OF his face. lie
thought he was struck with brick, but the
doctor who dressed bis wounds was OF
the opinion that he was injured By bullet,
which was still in his face. Tim Burgess
was badly cut and bruised up with base
ball bat IN the hands OF the negroes. The
rest Of the crowd escaped without serious
burt. except Davis, who vas more or less cut
and bruised.
Cummins lives with an old woman in the
garret OF a dry. goods store on seventeenth
street, just opposite the FIRST police station

Burgess lives near the brick yards In Sid
ney; the residences and names OF the Others

OUR BUSINESS AGENCY.

The lively and pervadingg interest,
and we may,say the. enthusiasm with.
which the proposition to establish a
State. Business Exchange, has been
generally received; by the brotherhood
throughout the State, is encouraging
and inspiring in the highest degree.
The responses tothe call of the Execu-
tive Committee for a fund, have been
prompt and liberal, and there is an
evident strength and solidity of .pur-
pose among the brethren on this sub
ject which assures success.
W. are gratified to observe a COM
mendable caution as to the manage
ment of this fund, &c. The State
Alliance, made up we trust Of good,
safe, business, practical men, will of
course throw around the fund every
safeguard. We presume that its
management OF control will be placed
in charge Of a board of twenty or
more: of the very best men to be found
in the State. Of course all proper
restraints will be thrown around them
necessary to the absolute safe keeping
of the fund. 8 The State Alliance, it is
expected, will thoroughly mature the
best and most practicable plan for its
management and will adopt the best
methods for giving all necessary in
formation to the entire brotherhood
of the State on the subject. ata6

It would be SO very appropriate and
doubtless SO pleasant, to all the dele,

the College in and out of the city, that

the idea makes it. a~ntessential part of
the programme of the meeting. Let
it be done. - 4so
