A day or so ago, warrant was
placed In the hands of Officer Thomas
Brown. for the arrest of Francis Glib
son, charged with disorderly conduct
and breaking some glass at place on
West Front street, some weeks ago.
About l1.l5 o'cl ok last night, as the
officer was passing Fourth and Adams
streets, he saw gang standing in
'front.' OF saloon, and upon recog-
nizln0Gibson called him aside and said
that he had a warrant for him. At
first Gibson refused to go, but upon
second thought concluded to accom-
pany the olllcer. when the gang inter.
Tered and refused to allow him to lie
taken. They rushed ON The officer, who
still held on to his prisoner and threw
him to the ground.
While they were on the pavement,
Gibson secured the officers club and
dealt him five terrible blows on the
head, each of which inflicted an ugly
scalp wound. Gibson then broke away
from the plucky officer, but he, with
the blood streaming down his face,
again seized him, when the crowd
rushed In and again showered blows
on his head and face. He, however,
held on to Gibson until some one
called: The patrol is coming" when
the cowardly gang dispersed In every
direction.
Brown then took his prisoner to the
police station, where he was locked
up. AS the officer was weak, and in q
fainting condition from the loss OF
blood, Police Surgeon Baird was sum
moned, and found his head badly cut
in five places, but fortunately none Of
the wounds are serious.
AS officer Brown knew some of his
assailants, Owen j. Hession, Jr., Will
liam Gallagher and Eugene Heselon
were afterwards arrested and locked
up. persistent effort was male to
have the entire gang released on very
light bail. and at o'clock this morn
Ing Clerk Hyland was aroused from
MS Slumbers by ringing OF his door
Dell; Upon inquirlng what was want
ed, he was Informed tnat they wished
TO enter bail for their appearance.
Mr.. Hyland properly refused to accept
hail but was scarcely ut his Office In
the City Hall when he was again be-
seiged. lie again refused, and the
party then waited upon Judge Ball,
who also declined to take any action in
the matter until the case was properly
brought before him, at the regular
session OF court.
AT . O'CLOCK Officer Brown appeared
In court with his head almost covered
with strips OF sticking plaster. Glib
son was placed in tho dock, and as
he said he wished to engage John II.
Rodney, Esq, as his counsel, his
hearing wa postponed. and he was
ordered to furnish Sl.OCo hail for his
appearance tomorrow morning.

assisted in Resisting the officer As it
was shown that Gallagher had moth
Ing to do with the matter, but was
trying to assist tho officer, he was
discharged. and tho others were or
dered to furnish $500 bail each for
their appearance to morrow morning,
There are many who thiuk that or

receipt WAS produced, 1t having al
ready been given to tho voter.
OF these fifty names selected 81 re-
ceipts were produced.
The receipts as they were produced
were carefully examined by Mr.. Ella

about them was found. A Democratic
reporter present strained his eyes al
most In watching for blank receipts.
but they appeared not. Every one OF
them was regularly illled up and sign
ed, and legally stamped just as the
Republicans had always declared.
The Democratic reporter also
watched the dates when they were is
sued, as the Democratic papers had
charged that tho last instalment of
them was signed after tho delinquent
list had been returned, but he watched
III vain for crooked dates. His eyes
almost filled with tears when he found
that the latest date was February 2S,
1881, ten days before the delinquent
list was presented. Tho most Of the
receipts bore date in the early part OF
january.
There was no doubt left on the
minds OF any about the authenticity
OF the receipts. The signatures OF
MIR: Mckee wer o all a. Ike and genuine

county seal for the Southern District
OF Wilmington. When the committee
adjourned the few Democrats pres
eht left with long faces. At 4.40 the
committee adjourned to meet at the
call OF the chairman.
