CITY INTELLIGENCE. rOR ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS 8KB OUTSIDE PASES. Thk Scottish Tournament. The ninth an nual games of the Caledonian Club of this city were held yesterday at Strawberry Mansion, on Ridge avenue. The members of the club, dressed in full Scottish costume, appeared upon the ground about 9 o'clock A. M., accompanied by a number of their friends. Turing the day the grounds were visited by three or four thou sand persons, all of whom appeared to enjoy very much the various games. The sports ot the day commenced with an old-fashioned Scotch reel, the music being furnished by two excellent performers on tne Dag-pipes. At the conclusion of the dance, a large circle was staked out, and ropes placed around it, so as to give ample room lor tuose about to participate la tne frames. which were open to all competitors, non-members paying twenty-five cents entrance fee in each game. The prizes offered were from $5 to $6 for the first, and from $2 to $3 for the second. The first game, that of quoits, twenty-one yards distance, was puv-nea outside or tne circle, aua was closely contested by a number of persons skilled in this pastime. The first prize was se cured by Mr, Winner, and the becond by Mr. Emerick. Putting the stone was the next on the pro gramme. This game is played with an iron ball, weighing eighteen pounds, which is raised above the head and thrown, David Fenton, who threw U 32 leet 2 inches, secured the first prize, and Robert Mitchell the second, having marked np 281 leet. The running jump was entered into with spirit, and though no extraordinary leaps were made, the contestants were applauded heartily. Thomas Feeny, who secured the first prize, jumped 16 feet 7i inches, and John Caldwell, the second, jumped 16 feet 3 inches. Tbrowine the hammer is one of the favorite games of the club, requiring immense strength and skill to compete with any great degree of success. The hammer weighed about fourteen pcunds, and had a handle about three feet long. The parties competing seize the handle near the ond. and. with a swine, let it eo. Edward Trot ter threw it seventy-four feet three inches, and secured the first prize. David Fenton, who was awaided the second, threw it seventy-three feet. The running high leap over a bar placed be tween two upright posts attracted the attention of the crowd. Thomas Feeny cleared the bar at live feet, and secured the first prize. John Grienan, who reached a height of four feet seven inches, got the second prize. At this state of the games, a number of boys tinder twelve years of aire ran a race onoe round the rirg, Master Theodore Erst obtaining the first prize. 3 2Z3 The running, hop, step, and jump game was quite animated, and the performers were applauded heartily. John Greenan received the first prize by measuring 38 feet 4 inches, and John Caldwell the second, who marked 36 feet 9 Inches. George Gullier received the first prize for the short race, and Mr. Daniels the second. Tossing the caber followed. This game con sists in raising a large pole, about 18 feet long, towards the shoulder, and then with the hands under the end throwing it so that the end near est the body will be the farthest off when it touches the ground. The feat Is a diflicult one, and requires strength and much practice. David Fenton received the first prize and Robert Gunn the Becond. The wheelbarrow race, which closed the first series of games, was quite a laughable affair. Eight persons entered for the race, and, after nrh had been blindfolded, they started across the ring with their barrows, the first reaching a flagstaff at the opposite side to be the winner. Some of the men made such straight lines for the winning point that it was thought their sight was not Ptitirely obscured, while those who were actually in darkness made all kinds f wain nttcmnu to eet across the rinir. Archi hula Smith, who obtaiued the first prize, struck the flagstaff with his barrow; the one next to him was Aloxanaer liunn. Threm nersous danced the Highland fling, and Vri.recor Muir received the first prize, and a lovmirtpr Cnnn the second. Thn vauttinar with the pole was one of the most attractive games of the day, and the com Totitra were loudlv anolauded during its con. finnniice. Two uDrinlit pole wore placed in the ground, and, at a distance of about seven fppt. a thin strip of wood was laid across the snace. The men entering for the game took hnid of lonr slim poles, and after running a short distance, would vault in the air, by placing the pole upon the ground, and thus pass over the f trip oi wood at me top oi me iwu upnut i leces. John Colwcll received the first prize, The other games consisted of hurdle races, iu,wiinp' iump. sack race, three-lesged race. etc. Thn whole was under the management of r-hipfsJobn Sheddeii, J. W. McClement, John Hamilton, and Clansmen Alexander Callatn and Alexander uunn. Fatal Railroad Accident. The Coroner was notified last evening to hold an inquest on the body of a small girl, named Mena Dively, fd seven years, who was killed by being run vornv a passenger railway car, on German' town avenue, below Master. Her parents re--i.tVri in Berrv's court, in the rear of No. 1320 THE IIRE A 0 OF THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, Thr Political Contest in thk Tenth Ward. : Last evening a lartre nic;ting of ttan Republican ; citizens of the Tenth Ward was held at the City I Armory, Lroad ami Race steels, for the pur- posed mvorinc; the nomiualion of Mr. A. H. iTanclsoiis as a candidate for Select Council. Mr. John M. Kendcrdlno presided, and In open ing the meeting said It whs well known that the wara was divided in roeard.to two candidates for Select Council. This wns not. to he rirnrt.iil. as the discin sion must reult In the selection ot tne nest man by the Repubhcau party. He denied that the friend! of t'rancHeus were "a clique," and he did not mean to disparage Mr. Pperltift, and if there wns no better man lu the field he would support him. Ii U neee?nry we should cm ?omo pood men in Select Council, for that body is fast becoming a cloio corpora tion. Tucre is now a tendency to extravagance, which, if not stopped, will lead to the defeat ol the Republican parly. The Tenth Ward is the "Banner Ward;" it owes it to itself to put into Select Council a live man, a man who will ston come of the abuses now known to exist. We have the right to determine for ourelves who is the best niHii to represent the Ward. Mr. Sperm has bad two terms. He certainly does not claim a lite tenure In the ollice. Men must he content with a reasonable share of public ollice. Mr. Fianciscus will be. nnminntr il un,l elected to represent th? Tenth Ward, hfit im must not expect more than tvyo terms. ll did not wish to say anything against Mr. peril' s, at that gentleman had done well; but we need something more tiiau a neeatlvo man. We must viect an euerpetic and radical reformer, such as Mr. Franciscus has proven himself to be. Mr. Franciscus, the caudidatc, was next in troduced. He suid that he was not a candidate ot his own choice, but had been urac i to bi-cooie no by his li iends. Ho therefore came before the people, not as an olliee-seeker, but as a citizen having an intercut in the city, being a t.ix-payer, and interested in putting an end to extrava gance. Mr. F. referred to the numerous false hoods, set afloat by his opponents durincr the canvass, and, after ret'utinr them, he said if he Went to Councils he did not winh to he under the rule of the Highway Department or nny of tut- oeirimeuis. A. Wilson Henzey, the next speaker, said he entered the canvnss in favor of Mr. Franciscus, but determined to act good humoredly, and he regretted to find that gentlemen on the other side bad displayed so much acrimony in their conduct of the campalcm. It had been said that as Mr. Spcrtng was a lawyer he was better fitted to represent the Ward. The speaker denied this, and contended that as Mr. Franciscus was a merchant, and brought into contact with the people, he was better suited for the pot than a professional man who spends most of his time in the seclusion of the ollice. Since the speaker had been in Council he had been amazed at the corruption existing there, and he was determined to continue his efforts to put a slop to it. Ret'c rence was made to the course pursued bv Mr. Sperms and his friends, and the speaker spoke iu severe terms of Mr. Speriug's conduct as Councilman, Mr. William B. Hanna followed, advocating the claims of Mr. Franciscus as the proper man 10 represent me wara in select council. Throughout, the meeting was very enthusi aslic. An Infuriated Steer. An intense excite ment was created in the southern section of the city yesterday afternoon, by a steer running off from a drove iu the vicinity ot Sixth and Lom bard streets. The enraged animal dashed through several streets, knocking down and in luring several persons in its progress. A mute boy wns tossed by the animal and badly bruised, and Mrs. Tully, aged forty, who resides at Six teenth and Federal streets, was badly injured about the head. In Broad street, near Christian, the driver ot a team attached to a coal car saw the animal dashing up the street, and went to the protection of his horses. As the animal reached the lead hor.-e the driver struck at him with his whip, and was pored under the left arm, inflicting a severe flesh wound. A number of persons threw coal at the steer trom the cars, but this only tended to make him more furious, and he dashed aloug until he reached Broad street, above Catharine, where a member of the Harmony Fire Company shot him, and he fell dead in the street. Mrs. Tully was placed in the ambulance of the Company and taken to the Hospital, and the driver of the car-team had hia wound dressed aud went homo in a nasseneer car. It is a great cruelty to drive cattle throush the streets in the hot sun, when they are sufl'er inc for the want of water, and the great wonder is that more accidents do not happen similar to the above. Tub Oil Trouble. Augustus II. and Theo dore E. lack, who were arrested in New York on a charge of fraud, were discharged on a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Barnard deciding that there was not sufficient evidence to hold them. They were subsequently rearrested on a charge of being fugitives trom justice in Pennsylvania, yesterday, at a meeting of the Petroleum trade, held in Walnut street, above Fourth, resolutions were adopted expressing doubt in regard to the justice ot the charge preferred against Tack Brothers. Slight Fire. The chemical works No. PIG Filbert street were slightly damaged by fire last evening about b o'clock. The Fools Put Down. Duelling has alwavs been more or less preva lent among German students, but of late years, says the fall Mau uaieve, it na Decouie at cer tain universities almost a mania. At Bonn, especially, the number of duels which, during the last lew monins, nave oeen auenacu wuu fatal results, has been so great that the university authorities, who nave nitnerio winaea at me practice, are, it is said, about to take steps for putting down duelling altogether. The students, oo, are Deginning to perceive vne xoiiy oi turn mode of settling their disputes, and both at Bonn and Berlin another university noted for the pugnacity of Us members an agitation has been got up with the object of abolishing the academical courts oi nonor in wnicu most oi these duels originate. Tbeatment of Blisters. It is a common error that it is beneficial to break a blister in order to let out the water or blood which fills it. This water or blood is a healing substance, of a kind most appropriate for the parts where the skin is destroyed, aud it the blister be allowed to dry, new skin forms more rapidly under It, aud much pain is avoided, lu ex ceptional cases, when the blister is very full of fluid, so that it causes much pain by its tension, a small portion of the fluid may be eiven a chance to escape by the prick of a fine needle. A blister should also be covered up in some way to protect it from beiug ruptured by accident. Croker. formerly English Secretary of the Adinirality, was the ne plus of impudent Irishmen. He would pertinaciously insist on setting the Duke of Wellington right as to the battle of Waterloo. The Duke shifted the conversation ' to percussion caps used in the army ; upon which Croker wa3 contradictory. This upset the Duke's pati ence, and he exclaimed: "Come, Croker, I may not know muoh about Waterloo, but d it, 1 should know something about copper caps." This is a funny specimen of George Alfred Townsend's what-he-cried no-Boap-and-she-very-lmprudently married-the-barber sort of rhetoric: 'Hland her up among me nidges like I'nryne, but in her summer robes. The tints in her laoe are soft us the pencil blooms, shifting as liirtit on lakes; her profile Is full of eleotrlo lut' 111 irences with heart nestled among them al; her hair Is soft as dew ou the mosses; curl your Ufa Into her ev and 11 there as In the twilight of the Babbath, the truce of God I" Buffalo bakers are now obliged to stamp every loaf of bread with their initials. The law against light weight and poor material la being rigidly enforced. General Pillew baa at last been "in the field" to some purpose. He estimates bin corn crop this year at 200,000 bushels.
