▲ very serious fight took place yesterday
afternoon, about 6 o'clock, between two
white women and several of the colored
population living In East Liber y street.
A small colored boy an# some white com
panions were rolling hoops along East Lib
erty street, much to the ahnoyauce of Mar
garet Craven, who came 1|o the Btepe of
house and threatened to licald the boy if he
persisted in rolling his hoop. The boy's
grandmother came to her door and told the
lad to go ahead.
While they were talkiiig Thomas Walker,
colored, came on the «eene and Joined in.
While he was arguing with Mrs Craven, her
sister, Mary Coughlin came to the door and
Mrs. Craven throwing the hot
water she bad in a bowl, on the man. This
Mrs. Craven did, striking Walker in the
face.
This started a general row, and Walker
fastened his hands in the hair of Mre. Cra
ven and began kicking her, while her sieter
belabored biin with a whitewash brush.
Mary Coughlin at last either fell or was
kicked, hurting herself! badly. The con
testants were finally partied aud the Injured
woman conveyed in the IIiouhc.
Walker was arrested and given a hearing
before the Mayor to-day.
Twelve witnesses were examined.
Carrow, testified as to the character of the
woman's injuries, and skid : "I was sum
moned about 7 o'clock: and found every
thing In confusion. The woman bad evidently
been drinking during the afternoon. I found
Mary Coughlin lying oln a sofa; examined
her leg and found a compound fracture of
the email bone oi the right leg above the
ankle. She might have been injured by either
a kick or a fall. The break is a very serious
one, and may necessitate amputation, which
would also put the woman's life in danger.
The other woman, Mr»,
badly bruised about the head, there being
no less than eight cuts on her forehead
and free besides a number ou her legs. The
cuts on her bead may have been caused by
kicks or by being hit with a club. She is in

her body bent forward, thereby receiving all

The doctor stated that the unmarried wo
man was very heavy and during the scuffie
might have slipped from the curb and
broken her leg, while the damage could
have resulted from a kick. The Mayor held
Walker for court in the sum of $200.

Response to a Timet at a Banquet In
Chicago on Jefferson's Birthday.
The Iroquois Club of Chicago gave Its
second annual banquet in the Palmer House
that city, last evening. After the suppT,
the following toasts were drunk : "Our
Country," Senator Bayard, of Delaware;
"Thomas Jefferson," James 0. Broadlaad,
of Missouri; "The Democracy, Past, Present
and Future," Col. W. F. Vilas, of
Wisconsin; "The Constitution," Lynam
Trumbull, of Illinois; "Manifest Des
tiny," Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky; "Tariff for Revenue Only,"
President E. P. Wheeler, of the New York
Free Trade League; "The Democratic
Press," William H. Hurlburt, of the New
York World ; "The Great Northwest," ex
Governor John M. Palmer, of Illinois;
"Monopolies Shall Not Run," William M.
Springer, of Illinois; "Public Office a Public
Trust," Mayor Carter H. H. Harrison, of
Chicago.
Senator Bayard was greeted with a round
of applause by the 400 guests present, and
spoke at some leugth. A portion ot bis ad
dress Is given below:
The enduring greatness of our country Is
founded upon what is really elevated and
great in the mit ds and hearts of our people.
Let us never forget that we have embarked
our hopes upon trust aud not upon distrust,
in human nature; upou what it contains of
strength aud worth and not upon its weak
ness and depravity; upon the belief that the
instinct of self-preservation left free to recoil
from natural and necessary **rrors aud mis
takes will not repeat them; and that with
free and recurrent opportunities for popular
elections, misconduct in rulers and mis
takes in
will be
under |x aceful, orderly and effective forms
of law. Aud can we be mistaken in the

wise. policies, to rebuke corruption and
purify and strengthen popular institutions
by driving out of the temple of our liberties
mercenary and maehiuc politicians, who
have betrayed the popular trust and dis
graced aud degraded the administration ol
our Government !
After speakiug of the great strides made
in the way of invention aud the ease by
which wealth is accumulated in this coun
try, he referred to the damages of monopo
lies and the way to prevent them. Iu that
connection he said: The centralization of
power and action is an obvious result of the
Invention of steam and telegraphy. The
safety of our popular institutions demauds
the decentralization aud distribution of
power and Its exercise for the local self
government by those whose daily lives and
Interests are to be affected by It. Horae
rule, or local self-government, Isa right and
a necessity of American citizens, and the
intent and meaning of the written Con
sitution of the Union. The strength of the
State rests upon the number of upright, in
dependent, self-reliant and sei f-respecting
Individuals it contains, and uuder our Dem
ocratic theories of government, all invasions
ot individual freedom aud acts not essential
for the preservation of social order and the
protection of Individual and public rights
are unwise aud unwarranted. All the tend
encies of legislation which, ignoring indi
vidual responsibility, substitute Government
control in matters social and personal, tend
to weaken the powers of the Individual aud,
enfeebling them by disuse, lessen their
agency in g./od government.
In this mischievous substitution of gov
ernmental power In matters personal and
social, lies the objection to sumptuary laws,
Interference with conscience in social aud
religious affairs, invasion of the domain of
private opinion and personal liberty, which
seeks to Impose penalties for anticipated
acts aud offenses yet uncommitted. The
spirit oi unwise aud unjust interference by
Government is the objection to laws
which, under Che name of taxation,
tain classes aud occupations
at the cost of others, and abridge that free
dom of commercial intercourse which an
enlightened aud enlarged sense of self-in
terest should control. It is, in fact, the
principle of socialism and comrauuism—
paternal oversight by the Government sub
stituted for individual endeavor, guided by
intelligent self interest and restrained by in
dividual conscience. It is to promote a
healthy sentiment aud habit of self-reliant
manhood that the Democratic party
throughout the United 8tates insist upon
the fullest degree of individual liberty of
conscience and action consistent with public
safety and the rights of others, and for
we deprecate all unueces

favor

Interference

of local self-government, and all class
legislation by the general government which
assumes guardianship and protection over
the business of private citizens and control
over matters ol domestic aud local interest.
We must carefully and jealously insist that
the true germ and real basis of the great
of our country should not be obscured
and overlooked and public control allowed
matters properly belonging to private
jurisdiction. We need this as a check upon
ceutraliziug influences, the consolidation of
wealth and power and the tyranny of party
organization, all of which tend to wither
individual manhood and conscience, and to
absolve men from a sense oi personal duty
and obligation.

A Bomb Kxplodetl Beneath the Wheels
of a Carriage.
Boston, April 13.—The Marquis of Lome
arrived In this city at 8.35 this morning
from Montreal, accompanied by the Duc de
Blacas and Colonel De Winton. The Cana
dian authorities had announced that he was
going to Halifax, but it appears that hé is
to meet the Princess Louise, who is en
route from Bermuda In the Tenedos, which
is under orders to bring her to the most
convenient port. This may be Portland,
hut is most likely Boston. At any rate the
Governor General will stay here till the —
rival of the Tenedos is reported somewhere.
The Marquis and suite, accompanied by the
British Consul, walked from the station to
the Hotel Brunswick, and no Fenians gave
any trouble to the police inspectors who at
tended them.
About 10 o'clock, however, some excite
ment was caused on Milk street, by an ex
plosion of a small infernal machine, consist
ing of a sheet iron box heavily strapped,and
bearing two nipples evidently for percussion
caps. The wheel of a team passed over it
and exploded, sending mud in every direc
tion, but doing no damage. Ihe police took
the instrument in charge and made an in
vestigation. Whether it was placed there
iu the belief that the Marquis would
pass that way in a carriage or for a joke Is
not positively known. A careful examina
tion of the supposed infernal machine
showed that it was nothing more thau an
ordinary railroad torpedo, used to denote
that a slow-running train is ahead of the
train that explodes it. It was probably
dropped by accident. Mayor Palmer will
wait on the Marquis to-morrow morning and
tender him a reception if he will accept It.
Phipps Back at Laat.
Major Ellis P. Phipps, the absconding ex
superintendeut of Blockley Almshouse, ar
rived in Philadelphia, from Hamilton, On

He was takeu into Court, and Judge Allison
fixed Tuesday next as the day upou which
he will be required to plead to the bills of

the uttering aud publishing of fraudulent
receipts. He was then taken to Moyamen
sing Prison and placed in the untried de
partment.
