with Pistols aud Razors They Hold
high Carnival at Brandywine prings.
A colored Knights Templar excursion
In 81 cars went TO Brandy vine Springs
yesterday and some OF them returned
last evening with bullet wounds, others
cut with razors and many soundly
drubbed. The picnic a5 the Springs was
attended by colOred people from Balti-
more, Washington. Chester, West Ches-
ter aud Wilmington. They imbibed
freely in bad wniskey and early in the
day many negroes were on the war path.
Razors peeped from hip pockets, at hand
to be used in case OF an emergency
These brawls were at first the work OF
negroes from this city and Baltimore,
between whom there appeared to exist
much rivalry. Negroes from other cities
soon took part and eventually razors
were sweeping through the air and de
scending with reI idity on those around
About 6 o'clock the fight got thicker
and 3 man from this city known as IT
A., drew revolver and fred several
shots. One Of the bullets struck Mary
Norris ia the right cheek, smother took
effect IN the side Of her husband, John
Norris, and third lodged in the shoulder
OF Josephine Blekely Of Baltimore.
Besides this Bessie Yates of this city had
her eye closed by hlow Of stone, Josie
Robinson OF Philadelphia had her head
badly cut George Burton of Baltimore
had razor cut, aud scores Of others left
the grounds with broken noses. closed
eyes, cut heads, bruised bodies and sore
arms
The primary cause Of all the trouble
was the amount of bad whiskey, which
was drunk freely during the day When
the liquor began TO take effect it made
| tho negroes gallant, aud the men from
Wilmington accused the Baltimoreans of
not being able to "shine" among the
women. The imputation was resented
and ths quarrel began.
The man who did the shooting escaped
from the park and avoided arrest. In
the evening he was seen to board train
for Wilmington, but upon being
recognized he got of and walked, 1t IL
supposed, to this city. During the riot
q man from Baltimore was carried by
Wilmingtonians to the river and thrown
in He had to swim to the opposite
bank. The Morris woman. who wal
shot, was taken last evening TO th'
Delaware Hospital Her wound was no
considered dangerous. After IL wal
dressed she was removed to her home
Ali the others were able to go home.

owner drove them off repeatedly

must keep her feathered tribe at her
hone. This she did not do. AT last
Beatty got blood In his eye. He wanted
the lives Of the geese and was willing to

day this week he made an onslaught on
