An Assault Made Kearny Street on
Non-UniOn MoIders.
There was considerable excitement on
Kearny and Suffer streets about midnight,
caused by row between four non-union
ron-molders and a party of men who
have some connection with the striking
molders.
Henry Nahorn, who came from Detroit
about three months ago and who was as
signed to work at the Pacific Foundry, left
his hotel with three Other pon-union mold
ers about IL 80 o'clock. They jumped off
the Fourth-street car at Kearny and Post
streets and walked down the first named
street, their object being to have a sight of
the city and take a little fresh air.
NahOrn states that they had been but
few minutes on the sidewalk when they

Knockout. Waldo was too much for Kelly,
and sent him to the ground, where he lay
like log. A Haywards doctor happened
along, who examined the PROSTATE form of
Kelly and pronounced him dead. The
Town Marshal was notified, who hunted I'D
Waldo and placed him in the town lookup,
and intended to put charge of murder
against him. The apparently lifeless form
of Kelly was taken to the shop of the viii
lage undertaken, and altogether the outlook
for Waldo was quito doleful. But few
hours afterward Kelly commenced to show
signs of life, and in the evening he was
able to return to his home ON Santa Clara
avenue, near Bay street, in this city.
Waldo was confined all the night in the
Haywards lookup, and was released yes

charge against him.

FRENCH CELEBRATION.
Music Question Settled-Parade
of the Third.

Preparations for the celebration of the
one hundred and first anniversary Of the
birth of liberty among the French by the
fall of the Bastile prison are nearing COM
pletion. For several weeks these arrange
ments have been progressing and there now
remains only the details to lay out.
The route of procession and those who
will participate in it are decided and though
other representa- tive bodies may appear in
line the programme as laid out will not be
materially departed from. The only feature
not wholly decided upon was regarding the
music, and it was that subject which en-
crossed about two hours of the committees
time last night An understanding was ar
rived at on the point most disputed and
other points of difference will be settled
with ease.
The Fourteenth of July Committee held a
special meeting last night TO dispose of this
music question; Emanuel Meyer, Presi-
dent, was in the chair. The first thing
touched upon was the leadership OF the
bands and heated dispute ensued between
the Two aspirants, Victor Hue Paris and NJ.
Matthew, and their friends.
For years M. Matthew has furnished the
music for the French colony, and in return
he has often serenaded its citizens and done
other little favors. He is a Frenchman of
ultra-French blood, good fellow, loyal to
the memory of his native land. But every
quality he boasts has Victor Hue Paris,
and a bitter fight was INDUCED in for the
supremacy.
Both are members of the Musicians
Union and leaders of first-class bands, and
that only added to the difficulty. Was
Matthew loyal, so was Paris. Was
Matthew well liked by his friends, so was
Paris by his. For over one hour the COM
mittee had one voice, and that voice an up
roar.
Words were not banded at swords point,
but belched forth as from cannon. When
thoroughly tired, when each side sat and
glared at the other, neither willing to ae-
cede point or grant word, then, and not
until then, was the question near its solu-
ton. At that moment the Matthew faction
gave in, and M. Matthew led the surrender.
He consented to Victor Hue Paris having
charge of the music, with the understand
ing that he should employ him as leader Of
one of the bands. The opposition grasped
the proposition with alacrity, since it was
all that could have been aceededi it by
majority vote, and the question was set
tied.
A letter was read from Colonel T. F. Barry
stating that battalion of the Third In
fantry Regiment, n. G. G., would participate
in the parade and would be commanded by
Lieutenant-C Colonel O'Connor.
A communication was also received from
a firm on Market street offering S1100 for
all the privileges of the gardens on the day
of celebration. The matter was referred to
the Committee on Finance.

THEY MEAN FIGHT.
The B1ilons Fitting Out Two schooners for
Rehring Sea.

The EIilons Fitting Out Two schooners for
Rehring Sea.
VICTORIA, July 5.-The news telegraphed
from Port Townsend that a special
messenger had arrived from Washington
with instructions for the commanders Of
the United States cutters to proceed to
Behring Sea and seize all the vessels found
with any evidence of having been engaged
in seal fishery causes great indignation.
At the same time comes a story that the
British squadron has been ordered to
EsQumalt. The latter story brings peace
TO the minds of some, but majority Of
British COlumbians believe that no matter
what acts of piracy may be committed by
the Yankees the British war-ships will not
interfere.
1t is known that the crews Of all the YES
sells proceeding to the sealing grounds are
fully armed, with the view Of resisting
seizure, but to-day the story leaked out
that two clipper schooners are being
secretly fitted out in Maple Bay, especially
to meet the Yankees. Said vessels will
each carry heavy swivel, besides two
smaller guns, and disguised as sealers will
tempt a seizure, so as to bring on an en-
counter.
Regarding the latter story, Captain
Scott, the veteran sealer, says the report no
doubt is true, but the matter has been kept
secret. The shippers OF the two vessels in
which he was interested had armed their
crews and swore to go to the bottom rather
than submit to seizure.

An Eastern Strike SettIed-Brewers' Re-
lief Fund.
There was little stir among the striking
molders yesterday. their chief business be-
ing to look out for non-union men, whom
they are active in trying to induce to join
their ranks.
Martin Fox, Secretary of the lron-mold
ers' Union of North America, has written
a letter to President Valentine, in which he
says: 81 hope that our members will not
resort to anything but lawful measures to
accomplish their ends, az l am sure in the
end those are the only measures that are
effective. AT the same time let it be under
stood that it is the determination of your
union to win the light if it lasts five years.
The molders report that they have won
their Philadelphia strike, which has been
on since February 14th. and the 10 men
who were out have returned on their own
terms. This will enable the International
Union, which has been supporting the 70
men, to give the union here more support.
The local union officers look for many
assertions from the foundries OH the 10th,
and say that the men are becoming very
much disheartened.
The ball by the combined trades unions
of the city for the molders will take place
at the Pavilion on July 18th.
