Anderson, charged with sanlt and battery on Officer James Her shock Hershock testified that on the night of July 4, he saw a d'stnrbance at Eighth aud Scott streets and on golsg there ho saw that it was near the house of a man named Quail, He told the crowd to dis perse, but instead, a colored man became abusive and raised his arm to strike him. He struck at the man with his club and broke the latter, though he canuot tell whether he broke it on the man's head or the corner of the house. The color«! man went across the street and disappeared in a crowd He went up to the crowd and Anders an said he had no business to strike the man He told Anderson to keep quiet. Anderson told him that he knew more law in five minutes than Hershock knew in an hour, and that the officer would have bis brass buttons stripped off ia three days. He took hold of Anderson and was about to arrest him when he was struck in the face and batted In the stomach. He struck Anderson with his blackjack. The crowd yelled to "hit the cop." While he was arresting Anderson some one hit him with a brick Michael Mitchell, Edward McGanghey and John Johns, all white men testified the same as the officer. William Mitchell,for the de fence, testi fied that he was standing in jbis doorway when Hershock came up and ordered him to go in. He refused to do so and Her shock said he was one of the persons who had raised the disturbance at Quail's house Mitchell denied that he had been in the disturbance and called William West, who was standing near for proof. West told Hershock to arrest those who had been fighting. Hershock struck West on the head breaking his club. West gave the same testimony. Daniel Harris, colored, testified that after West had been struck. John Wood land, Anderson, and himself were talk ing of West being struck without prov ©cation, Hershock came over to them and asked what In — Hershock threatened derson, when ward his home, him and Anderson also hit him, and then Hershock struck the man with a black jack.

The Arrangement Causes Indiquât ion Among the Passengers The Choral Club gave a moonlight ex cursion on the steamet "Norwood" of Philadelphia last night. It might more appropriately be called a starlight excur sion, The original intention was to run down to Augustine Pier and spend the time going to and fro in dancing and singing on board. Hyatt's orchestra had been engaged for the occasion, but the number of persons which thronged the boat made it impossible to carry out the program Every available spot on board - the "Norwood" was crowded, leaving no space for dancing or active amus"ment of any kind. When the "Norwood" reached the Delaware river, to the surprise, anger aud disgust rf everyone on board, she proceeded up instead of down the river. Angry cries were heard on ail sides; mem bers of the Choral Club were approached and explanations of the breach of arrange ments vigorously demanded The wishes of those on board were acceded to, the course of the "Norwood" was changed, and she ran down as far as Peunsrille On the trip down the Delaware, a lady on board fainted, and had to be taken to the cabin. At Pennsville, dancing was engaged In for a few hours. Then the "Norwood" started on her homeward course, carry ing a cargo of angry and disappointed excursionists. A good deal of badinage at the expense of the Choral Club was indulged in on the return trip. The captain said the "Norwood" had not been chartered to go to Augustine Pier, and if she did go he would be obliged to take in salt water which would damage her to the extent of $100. A man whose name has not been ascer tained feil from a board walk down some 10 or 15 feet, at Pennsville but was not seriously hurt. The "Norwood" reached French street wharf at 1 o'clock this morning. Officer Johnson of the Seventh ward had been engaged to preserve order bnt his services were not needed.

VERSAL OPINION FAVORS THE ; PROJECT. Many Person« Believe a Park la Needed There—It Would Add to the lieauty of the Surrounding* and Would be allea» ant Retreat in Hot Day* Like Thla. The project to beautify the large Court House lawn, and make it a breathing place for the public, is meeting with great favor among the Influential men of the city and the workingmen,,"who will receive the benefit of the improvements, The city has no more central location than the square bounded by Market, Tenth, King and Eleventh streets, and its conversion Into a park would mean relief to hundreds daring a warm after noon. The objections urged against the pro ject are that its adoption would destroy the beauty of the lawn and disturb the Court House clerks. The reasons for its adoption are: Ac cessabie location, beneficial results, need of a centrally-located park, beautifying the vicinity, the giving of the most good to the greatest number, and (the almost universal favor which has been given to the proposition. The following letter received to-day explains itself : "To the Editor of the Evening Journal, "Sir: I heartily approve the sugges tion I saw in your valuable paper in re gard to the park around the Court House. It would be of the greatest value to our citizens; the best move for the benefit of those who are deprived of the opportun! ties of comfort elsewhere and particn iarty for workingmen, and women and children, "I hope our people will appreciate yonr move and have a park and seats placed there immediately. "I hope our park commissioners will take an interest in the matter. I hopa the honorable gentlemen of the Levy Court will be so kind as to give permis sion to equip such a park. "A Citizen." Many persons have been asked for opinions and statements on the project to shade the Court House lawn, and with very few exceptions ail responded. Below will be found their unbiased vi^vs of this matter; Mayor Austin Harrington said: "The square is certainly In bad condition at present from the loafing at night and I consider any improvement very good." City Solicitor William T. Lynam said: "If children sre to be allowed to make as mnch noise as there was made when roller skating was allowed, I think the plan objectionable, but If good order is kept, so that the persons who have work at the Court House can do it without in terruptlon, I think It would be a very good idea aud would be beneficial to the people and the city." Lawyer Robert C. Fraim was strongly in favor of the project. "The grounds required to be beautified," he said, "and this could only be done by the planting of trees. If seats were placed beneath those trees it would afford a pleasant re treat for the leisure momenta of those who work within. The Levy Court has complete control of the grounds and could prevent it from being used by the "loafers" of the city just as it prevents the use of bicycles or roller skates at present. This would require no special exertion and could easily be carried out." Daniel W. Taylor of Heald & Co., and president of the Board of Trade: "I should highly approve *f It if it is fixed up properly to make a first class park, for I always did think that there was too much ground wasted around the Court House. But if the thing Is not to be dome in first class style, they had better let it alone. Clerk of the Peace W. Pierce Biggs, whose office is In the Court House, says: "I am heartily In favor of It. I think the Levy Court ought to have had trees and benches around here long ago. It would, at least, take that crowd of loafers off the corner." Lawyer Henry 0. Conrad: "The project strikes me very favorably; I think It is a right good idea." Judge J. Frank Ball: "The plants very good for several reasons. One is, that the location Is a central one. There are not many breathing places In the city. The park could be properly lighted and easily watched to keep dis respectable persons out." S. R Smith, United States Commis sioner: "I am heartily In favor of the people having such a breathing place, aud if tiiis could be utilized I say go ahead and have It. All other cities have their public buildings surrounded by such parks. " Deputy Clerk of United States Court Glatz: "I think it is a good scheme. When passing the Court House of an evening, you will see a large unmber of persons sitting on the coping of the Court House square. If the square was changed into a park, this could be avoided." F N. Buck, Esq : "If it were to be used by respectable people only and tramps and disreputable characters kept ont, I am strongly in favor of the pro ject." Senator John P. Donahoe favored the project: "The Court House, bare and lonely, and the appearance will be mach improved if the project is carried out. " Lawyer Frank J. Biggs did not care for expressing an opinion on the matter. Deputyl Attorney-General Thomas Davis did not favor the project. If seats were laid out the Court House grounds would be turned into a place of ren dezvous for the "loafers" of the city who would congregate there at all times of the day and night, demolish the young trees, spoil the grass and demean every thing within the grounds. Lawyer John K. Bradford had formed no opinion on the matter aud the weather was too hot for him to think. Lawyer Charles M Curtis did not favor the project. "The Court House, as it stands, is a magnificent and majestic looking structure. If trees be planted its present appearance will be spoiled, while the laying out of seats will reduce It to the level of a public park." Lawyer Joseph A. Richardson was not atvpresent in favor of such a project. The laying down of seats would cause the children of the elty to collect within the grounds, who, by their noise would distract clerks and officials at work within the Court House. He did not think the Court House grounds had ever been Intended for a public park, and if tha project was carried out it would be re duced to that level. With regard to the planting of trees he bad no opinion to offer. Possibly, if he got time to con sider, he might favor their planting. Moses Wlel favored the project and thought it would beautify the grounds a great deal If the idea was carried Into effect. Patrick J. Mulrooney, morocco worker, thinks the number of public parks iu the city are too few, and inaccessible to the majority of citizens during the evenings He d like te know what there is sacred abont the Court Hons" grounds, that they should not be open to the public, provided, of course, rules were made and observed William R Cal an, mechanic, thinks the plan should be carried into effect. Ralph J, Müler, mechanic, is pf tJUe same opinion. Ho «»vs that parka ara numerous etionsrh in tbs western part of tiie city, bni much needed elsewhere, ami thp converting of the Court House grounds Into a park would only be a partial remedy for this defect. Thomas M Ogle would favor the plac ing of water fountains within the Court House grounds, but thinks Wilmington has too many trees already. McCormick, laborer, also favors the tyojeot. He thinks the cost would not be great, while the benefit to be derived from such a scheme would amply repay all trouble. John J. Taylor was very thirsty, and said he'd rather see a reservoir for ice water at present, to quench his thirst, than either seats or trees. President of City Council John C. Farra gave his unqualified approval of the project, and deemed Us adoction a necessity. He saw that a skillful land scape gardener or any competent archi tect could so arrange the trees as not to obstruct the view of the Court House but enhance the beauty to the building and of the square. Be said he could not understand how any man conld frame an objection to trees, which always added beauty and grace to evory landscape and to the comfort and health of the citizens who lived near enough to enjoy their grateful shade. 8, H. Baynard is altogether in favor of the project. He believes that it would be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever, " a benefit to all, and an Injury to none, and a retreat for the toil-worn inhabl tauts of the city when the evening's shadows relieved them of their day s care?. The idea of it being converted into a resort for idlers he thought was absurd. A park is a place not for idleness, but for comfort and a few good rules rigidly enforced would prevent these grounds from being over run by idlers. With regard to the an noyance which is alleged would be given, officials within the Court House, that objection has no weight with him. Of ficials would have their day's work com pleted when the grounds would be used. He farther thinks it would be a substi tute for men whose time or means did not permit them to visit the seashore, Z. James Belt would like to see trees planted. He always thought they added to the beauty of buildings; but If seats were laid down strict rules should be en forced to prevent street loungers con verting It into a place of rendezvous, where they could indulge In profane language aud make Invidious remarks about ladles. Under certain restric tions he was In favor of the plan. Henry D. Cranor thought It would add to the comfort of the people, but would detract from the appearance of the building. He is In favor of the pro ject. William William M Pyle his always been In favor of the planting of trees. He thinks trees add to the beauty of any building, whether public er private, and be saw uo reason to make an exception in this case. With regard to the laying of seats hé has no opinion to offer. J. F. Wilson thinks it is a pretty place as it is, but would be much prettier If trees were planted. He had no opinion on the seal s. J. L. Rickards has been thinking of agitating the matter for some time. Trees and seats ought to be there for the comfort and convenience • of business men, when their day'e work is over. He thinks the officials of the Court House conld preserve order. L. F. Adair thinks it would be a retreat for business men to whom Eighth street park was too far distant. At present the grounds were of no use, but they conld be made beautiful and useful by carrying out the project. Rules should be made and enforced to prevent its being abused. Registrar William H. Lee says; "I think the work should be done. I am in favor of any plan which will give the people more breathing places. 1 ' A DEAD MAN FOUND. Coroner Humble Hold, an In<|U,,t Over a Decomposed Body. Coroner Gamble received a telegram from Middletown last evening stating that the body of an unknown man had been found near there. It was stated that the man had probably been dead several days. The coroner went to Middletown this morning, and a few miles outside the city in an old, deserted hut he found the badly decomposed body of a white man. The flesh had fallen away from the body very much. The man had lived alone in the hut for gome time and very seldom had any vis itors, which accounts for the fact that the body was not found until this late time. The coroner summoned a jury, and after a thorough investigation It gave verdict of death from natural causes. The body will be removed to Philadel phia for burial. Who Will Succeed Jvdge Paynter?

Baynard has adopted a new plan that Is now prevailing In western cities, whereby the opportunity is given hi procure a good watch for a very low price, through agency of co-operative dut». This plan Is as follows: Clubs are composed of forty mem bers. who pay one dollar fee, which payment goes to the originator of the plan. When the club Is formed they mu tally agree to purchase forty watches for the sum or seven hundred and slity-flve dollars. Each week thereafter the members meet, and each paye one dollar, at which time a number Is drawn, which en titles the owner of such nnmber to select and and receive his watch, similar to the old plan of watch clubs, with the exception that upon the drawing of a number further payment of that number cease. The remaining members (less nne each week) continue their payments and drawing for thirty weeks, when all pay ments cease and the remaining ten members receive their watches. The watches so distributed are a gold-filled case, made by James Boss, with either au El , Waltham, Springfield or UanqxleD move ment, such as nre sold ail over our city for thirty-five dollars and which are fully war ranted to give satisfaction. Clubs are now forming and drawings will commence Tues day evening, March 36. For further informa tion and examination of the watches call at ï he • 1 1 S. H. BAYNARD'S, S. W. Cor.
