Workingmen Again En-Masse-The Meet ing last night-The Demand for Relief Becomes Urgent—Committees Appoin ted -Resolutions Presented—Thos. Kano Makes a Speech—The Water Committee, the Council, and the Newspapers De nounced—A Boot Black and Martin FarrellMakes a Speech—Work to be Re sumed to-morrow. " In response to the call for a meeting of the workingmen of this city, to be held at the City Hall last evening, about 300 or 400 men assembled. The meeting was organ Ized by calling Mr. Thomas Kane to the chair, who addressed the assemblage, for several minutes, during which he alluded to the suffering and distress of the men In the city without work. At the conclusion of his speech, a com mittee of three to wait upon the Water Committee was appointed, as follows: John Shaw, John Donahue, and Martin Mealey. A committee of three on resolutions was then appointed, as follows : Thomas F. O'Donnell, George Slerrett and James Cleaver, (colored). The committee on the Water Committee was instructed to wait upon that body at once and require its presence at the meeting. The Committee on Resolutions then re tired, and during its absence, the meeting was addressed by the president. The following resolutions were then pre sented, read and adopted : First. Be It Resolved, By this meeting here assembled, that we ask tbe question why Mr, Pyle,and his Honor Mayor White ley, should come between the working man and his daily Bread. Second. And be it further Resolved. That Mayor Wbiteley as executive officer ef the city, take into consideration the ful ffiraent of the law made in Council lust Friday evening, July 21,1870. Third. And be It further Resolved, t.he Water Committee be Instructed by this meeting of the unemployed working - of the cite of Wilmington, to proceed ivi-ii the work on the Cool Spring Reservoir, or. io-morrow morning, July 26 1876. Fourth. And be it further Resolved. That, if the Water Commit: ee does not pro ceed with the above named work, that the Mayer and City Council be authorized, by t >is meeting, to procure bread or labor for the needy of this city, to be had at such places as His Honor may designate. THOS F. O'DONNELL, GFO. RTBRRETT, JAS. CLEAVER. The President endorsed the Resolutions, and made a few remarks upon them. He concluded amid the cries for different speak That ers. The Water Committee of Council, Messrs. Pyle, Paynter, Canby and Jones, here made its appearance, at the request of Mr. Pyle, the resolutions were again read. Mr. Pyle then addressed the meeting, informing it that a private session was now being held to take action In regard to work commencing on the Reseryoir. After some remarks from Mr. Paynter, in which he thought if work could not go on, it would be advisable to spend the money due the Reservoir In buy ing bread for the needy, Martin Farrell being called upon arose and in a harangue denounced the ac tion of the Water Committee in not allow ing work to be resumed on the reservoir on last Monday morning; spoke particularly against the sentiments of the press, in re gard to the condition of the workingmen, and asked if the meeting endorsed what he had done in this matter. He assured tne men that if they deferred the matter until the next meeting of Council, the work would never go on. He concluded amidst the calls for other gentlemen, and loud cries for order. James Burke, at the invitation of the President, arose and expressed some very sensible remarks. He 6ald the only way to resume, was to resume. He was followed by Charles Alexander, a colored boot black, who for nearly an hour, entertained the meeting with broken fragments of ill expressed sentences which forludicrcousnes«Pwould be hard to heat. Charlie was heartily applauded, neverthe less. The Water Committee then returned and reported that Council had decided Ihat, work should begin on the Reservoir on Thursday morning, and that employment would be given to 100 men, 10 from each Ward in the city, and that each member of Council select from each Ward five of the most needy men ; these are to have work one week, and in turn give place to others in need of it. How long work would be continued, could nipt be stated, but Council will at its next'meeting adopt, if possible, some method for continuing the work. After the announcinent of the above, the men slowly dispersed, apparently well sat isfied. The next meeting of the working men wfl take place to-morrow evening. [Owing to the lateness of the hour when tbe meeting concluded, and our limited space, the speeches could not be given.— Ed.] Minor Docalst The thermometer is again becoming ambi tious.

[From Yestcrdsy's Oazette.J The quiet little village of Newportyesier day afternoon, was the scene of a domestic Insurrection, the like of which was never seen there before, but which however, was attended with no bloody or serious results. The particulars are as follows: For a long time past there has been a dis pute between the Trustees of St. James F. E. Chapel (recently erected) and the Com missioners of School District No. 21, in regard to the division line between the church and school properties. Recently the Trustees put up a line new fence, and placed It out so as to take in a large portion of the disputed ground, which had been used as the school playground. Meanwhile the subject has been disputed, pro and con, and yesterday the people of the town, excited to fever heat, rushed out «n matte, and made a vigorous assault upon the new fence. Axes and shovels were free ly used, and in a short time the boards were torn off, the posts dug up, and the entire fence carried across the road and laid upon the ground. Then the people procured the old fence which formerly divided the two properties, and placed it in position on the division line as claimed by the School Commissioners. This done, they dispersed to their homes. These proceedings were vigorously op posed by the Trustees and friends of the church, but they were few in number and could make no effectual resistance. They will, however, contest the matter in the courts. Domestic Markets. The street markets, yesterday afternoon, were well attended. The display of fruits and vegetables was quile good. The prices are still moderate, with exception of butterand eggs, which are advancing. Blackberries are still plenty ud command very good prices. There is little change in the meat mark :ts.

On Third street between Market and King, two women colided, and fisted eaeh other right lively for a time. The one saw her husband with another whom she sus pected of making too friendly with him and pitched into her for taking his money when she had need for all, for her baby was with out sugar for its milk and she the wife with out anything to eat at heme. A large crowd gathered but the disturbance soon subsided when a courts constable came upon the scene. Railroad Accidents. The West Chester "Local News," of Mon day says: Yesterday a newsboy on tbe train from Philadelphia to West Chester, ries t,lat deat ^ re ' 8U,ted Portly after. He wgg Jn tho #ct of j umplDg on th ' traln M it moved away from the station, when be fell between the platform and the car8 t where jjg was mutilated lu a terrible manner, This boy was a new agent, and this was his g n t trip.

He eecaped minus asm of his Jutite ftagm A crowd of men got up a row at Fourth and Walnut streets on Monday night about llo'clock, and made the night hedious fora time. It resulted in bloody noses and loud swearing. A good job for the policemen, had they been around. u 7 .: 'ft DMDAWARE SHORE I BA ID Do Alt. The Opening on Mondap. Trains commenced their regular trlpg over this road Monday. Two trains each way are running dally, leaving Philadel phia by way of West Jersey Railroad, at 8 A. M. and 5:30 P. M., and Penhgrove at 0:30 A. M. and 3:15 P.M. From Philadelphia to > Woodbury the West Jersey Railroad la i used. At the lower end of Woodbury the Delaware Shore road branches off to the west for a distance of about two miles, whan it deviates to the south, approaching the river within half a mile, which distance it malqtalus until reaching Penngrove. at ^ which*point it runs direct to the shore. Tte entire length of the road Is a fraction short of twenty miles. There are thirteen stations on the , many of which are, however, flag stations. At the principal stations commodious sta tion houses are being erected. There area number of settled towns on the line or ad jacent thereto, and the entire country is well populated. Pennsgrove, the terminus of the road, Is on the Delaware river, about 28 miles be low Philadelphia, and has a population of 1,200 or 1,500. Pennsgrove Is a great place of resort for excursion parties from Phila delphia and other points. Its principal at tractions are its Ashing boating and bathing facilities, and In Its near proximity to Dela ware bay, its cool and bracing air. Wil mington is directly opposite, and the two ' places are connected by a ferry boat. By the completion of the Delaware Shore roaa to Pennsgrove, the people of Wilmington, Chester, New Castle and Delaware City arc afforded opportunities of visiting Cape May < and other points on the West Jersey Rail road wltbont taking the roundabout route by way of Philadelphia. To the people of Pennsgrove and other localities on the Jer sey side of the river, north of it, the road will prove of great convenience, especially in winter when navigation is Interrupted. M A EIRE IN A TEL EURAPR_ OPRICE. The Western Union in Plamet. The Philadelphia "Times" of yesterday s| has the following account of the fire at the Western Union Telegraph Office: At 12.45 this morning the main office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, at Third and Chestnut streets, caught fire from some unknown cause. Five operators were at work inthe fourth story transmitting tbe few messages received after midnight, and waiting for "good night" from the press agents in other cities. The operators first discovered the fire by its reflection from the opposite building, and they went to work with a will to save tbe instruments. Two sets of quadruplex instruments, two duplex instruments, and other valuable property in the lower stories. The building is owned the Western Union Telegraph Company, and is uninsured. The loss on the building will not exceed $3,000. Tbe loss on the bat ter} in the fifth story will amount to $1,000, and the loss to instruments and other personal property will swell the total loss to $5,000. The personal property of the company is fully insured. There are two theories as to the origin of the fire. One of them is that a battery grounded, and the red-hot wire filed some of the wood- work, and the other that acid in some way came in contact with inflamablc substances. Over 150 wires of the Western Union and about 300 of the Gold and Stock line entered the cupola, and all were burned off. Repairer* were at once summoned, and it is expected that all the main lines will be In working order by 8 o'clock this morning. No mes sages were destroyed by fire or flood. Personal Notes.
