Fourth of July TO see a colered man ar

crowd, and In doing 50 used his black.
jack. He was In citizens clothes and did
not have his badge displayed, and the
crowd did not know on what authority
he was acting until afterward.
Clerk Clagett, who saw Davis innict
the blows on Mcintyre, testified that
the officer was under the influence of
liquor and much excited. lie had not
been called there to assist in making
the arrest, and was not in the locality
where he acted as a special officer.

The Vera Cruz Exhibition at Man
haitian Beach Destroyed.
New YoRK, July 9.-There were fire
works at Manhattan Beach as early as
2 o'clock a. m. to-day. Vera Cruz was
burned up in earnest.
A terrific noise that resembled a pro
longed crash Of thunder broke the still.
ness of the night. 1t was followed by
a second and a third peal that made
the ground tremble. Many imagined
that an earthquake was about to engulf
them.
There were strange meteors I'm the
sky, and they were brighter than any Of
the stars. They were sky rockets from
Vera Cruz. Through the air they
whizzed in all directions, and Of all
colors, shedding clusters of beautiful
lights as they burst
The scenery Of Vera Cruz caught
fire and great streaks Of red flame shot
up, with clouds Of black smoke. Two
minutes after the first report this series
Of explosions came TO an end
During the explosion a disquieting
rumor gained belief In Sheepshead Bay
that the Oriental was on fire. The re.
suit was that scores of people hurried
across 20 Manhattan TO render what as
sistance they could.
Mr.. Payn, the owner Of the Vera
Cruz exhibition, Is the only one who
has suffered any loss by the incident.
All the fireworks and part of the scenery
used in the display have been destroyed. =.

story Of the Atlantic city Assault Re
told by Participant.
Kavanaugh Il. Kennady, whose en-
counter with Mr. Manning In an At
lantic City barber shop on Sunday last
was published In THE Carrie, has re-
turned TO Washington and resumed his
duties as clerk in the Postotlice Depart
ment
Mr. Kenuady's version of the as
sault is that, while reading a paper in
the barber shop, q man got out OF one
of the chairs and walked toward him
He recognized him as Mr.. Manning
with whom he had had a quarrel five
or six years ago, and, rising to his feet
and before a word had passed between
them, he struck Manning in the face.
Manning grappled with him, and dur
ing the tussie both fell to the floor
with he tKennady) on top. A police
man erasped him and pulled him away
with main force, dislocating his arm.
lie was locked up and afterward re-
leased on bail.
The trouble which caused the fight,
Kennady says, occurred when he was
boarding at the house Of Mr.. Man
ning's mother in-law, Mrs. Graham.
His room was next to that Of Mrs Ora
ham, in which he used to frequently
drop in and chat with her. On one oc.
casion he met IN there a young lady
about 20 years Of age, employed as a
nurse, and while chatting with her Mr..
Manning came in, accompanied by his
three brothers in. law, and ordered him
10 leave the house. lie did so, but did
not leave the city. This was the cause
of the irnnhln
