The snloon and grocery combination of Stack & Collings, Nos. H8 nnd 150 North Halsted street, was the scene, at do'clock Inat evening, of 1 etabting aff which may yet: restdt. fatally, The contestants were Thoinns Stack, who finds employmont in Feathorstono’s. foundry, at the corner of Chicago avenue and Halsted street, and Dents Callaghan, a tnborer ponloyed atthe Great Enstern freight-depot, The former bounis with a family Ilving over the grocery, and Cal- forhun lives nt No, 60 West Indiana street with his wifo and family. The cause of lust night's quarrel between the two wos nn old feud, dating back to somo tine last, fall, when they and a third man had a disgraceful triangu- Ine drunken quarrel int Gorman beer-siloon at the vinduct, ‘ho three men were rather badly awho {s at present tinder $500 bail to | m beaten, but Stick took particular pains: input. tng ornaments upon Callagiun’s head. They were finally xeparated and sent to thelr homes. Stack went that time working at the North Chiengo Rolling-MUlls, w place Cram which Calln- ghan had been dischirged some time ngo, be~ cause he quarreled with a fellow-workman and knocked an cyo out of him, Callaghan did tot zo thore the noxt day to have his revenge upon Stick, but sont him a foully-worded chial- Jenge, to which no response was ever mide, The two met for the first timo ince then in the ga- Joon tast night. The mecting was hardly acel- dental, Stack, through a wish to ayold Callaghan, whom he knew to be a dangerous man, changed his bonrding-house, but recently he moved buck, thinkIng that the feud was forgotten, Catlaghin hean! ho was there, and went there for the purpose of fghting. — Thoy had gome words thout the old matter, and Callaghan drow his knife: and challenged Stack fo settle bath necounts then and there. Stick offered to fight without weapons, and. while anyry words were passing to nnd fro, Callaghan stabbed bin onco fn the right groin. Stack fell to the floor, uid later was carried up-stalrs and put to bed. Dr. Reynolds, who attended him, found a long rent in his clothing and a wound In tho groin which was about two inches in length one way and one Inch xnother. Tho knife bad evidently been turned about while in the flesh, Though of a most Ferious nature, the Doctor thinks Stack will ovontually recover. Callaghan mundo no effort to fet way, but walked qttietly home, told his family that he was in trouble, and that ho was gol to tho rtation with a bondsman to give himself up to the po- Neo, The murderous assault was witnessed by a half-dozen men. ‘They saw tho knife, compres hended Callaghan’s intent, and yet mnie no ef- fort to prevent bloodshed. Thon thoy permit- ted Callaghan to escape, inde no report to tho Mice of the affray, anid, Inter, when Capt, MeGariglo and other policemen wont to tho pinco to reo Stack, thoy allowed thom to pass close to Callaghan, who was st tad the crowd outside, and did not tell them of it until he hid a second time escaped. At his reappcurince, Callaghan told the crowd ho had been to tho station, and hud been Whernted in 400 bonds—n falsehood, of course, to was finally eaptured, howover, ina antoon at the corner of Union and Indiana streets by Oflicers Iiekey and Heck, He was by this thne under tho influcnce of liquor, and was {na intnxioated t wiveany reasanuble account of himself, Later In tho ovening Callaghan confessed hiv- ing done the cutting, and gave up the Knifo with which it was done. He claimed that the fliht was one which originated yenrs ago in County Kerry, Ireland, and that ho supposed {ft would bo rottled in time to como. The fend botween tho Callaghana, the Careys, tho Nolans, and tho Sincks wis ono which could be cradivated by blood only. THE SOCIALISTS. DISCUSSING TIL: APPROVRIATIONS, In response ton yeneral call, a muss-meeting of Soclalists was hold yesterday in Folz'’s Hull, corner of Larrabee strect and North avenue. There were about 200 present. The mecting was enlled to discuss tho appropriation bills and to. work up enthustusm for the coming Aldormanta "contest, Aftor some preliminary singing and divors nominations, A. it. Parsons was chogen Chalr- man, and procceded to hurangue tho meoting in hiaustal atyle, Ho referred to the spring clec- tion nsiinportant to the workingmen because tho franchises of tho streot-railronds would ex- pire thls yeur, and the Aldermen would have be- fore thom the question of renewal. Ho urged hla hearers to clect men who would run these vorporations fa somo unexplained mannor which should bo for tho bonetlt of tho passengers, Tho spenker thon wandered off Into the usual rambling denunciation of overy ony who hid inoro onergy aud money than bline self. Ile wound up by stating that himself and friends were * tho decunt members of socicty.” T, J. Morgun then spoke, urging the revlection. of Btauber, Meier, Lorenz, and Altpoter, tho Hoclulist Aldermen, whose terms oxpire In April. He gave some Ngures which showed that morn drarbage carta and better school facilities wero krunted to the “capitalistic” thin ta the “dabor” wank This, ho thought, was a very strong arguinent for the olection of the Soolulist Aldermen, fle also.wandored off from his sub- Jeet to state that the children of tho capitnllsta Wero tuught to curry aris, while the poor chil- dren were denied that inestimable privilege. After nnother song and a collection, Ald, Moter appeared in the role of n downtedden workingmun, gin brandcloth clothos, dlumend pina gold wateb and chidn, and Ught-itting outs, Hu was, however, tho finit spenker who spoke to the subject for which the meeting hud been called. He explained tho 2-por-cent levy’ to the audience, and the method of making the appropriation. the total valuation belug §t17,- 000, anit the levy being $2.150,000.

Hy introduced nu ftom of £20,000 to ervet and maintain olllampsin the districta where the companies refused to ny malig unless they could be ageured of a certulh number of private customors. Mr, Meler also inserted in bile estl Muntes an item of $7,000 for tho pay af tho Alder. nien for ono year, ‘This amount would allow for #8 per Renting for cach member of the Council, allowing for ifty-two regular meetings nnd one adjourned meeting exch month, Ho defended his action in this regard by saying that there were sume Aldermen who bid no visible means of support, and even this small amount would ulve color to thelr devoting at least one day each, week to the duties of thotr oillce, Another item in hig extinutes which he hud ndded was §2040 for four free bathing-houses. ‘This, with tho smallcr items, made a total of SE ih es, U50,12 » fron which should bo subtracted tho $700, whieh must be reapproprinted, leavin, i.

TITE RAILROADS. OPENING OF ‘TIE GRAND TRUNK. Nothing could have occurred more opportuncly’ for tho shipping Interests of Chicago than the opening of the now Grand Trunk oxtonrlon to tis olty Saturday, when tho first train-loni of freight went over tho new Iino through to Portland, with a lnrgo cargo of grain, dircet for Liverpeol. For several years past Chieage hag been completoly under tho heels of the Now York trunic linos during tho winter months, when only ali-rall routes coutd bo ured for tho transportation ‘of enst-bound freight. As long asthe trunk ines were fyhting ench other Chi- cago had but little cause to complain, because rates were low enough; but, sinee tho establish- ment of tho Fink pool, and the consequent rals- ing of rates tonlmost probibitory figures, tho business tntorests here have suffored se- verely, and in consequence ult tho warehouses nro full to overtiowing. The New York trunk- Ines owned up to tho present time all the Rast. orn roads froin this city, and consequontly they: could conduct tho business ne arbitrarily is they chose, no competition Helin Heese, As long a8 tho Grand Trunte lind no direet outict. to this city it was shuckled by the New York fines, hnv- ing to use cithor Vanderbilt's or Scott's ronds as fn connection with ita main lino, and consequent ly was coinpelled to abide by tho terms of the Now York dictatora, Dut with the opening of its new ling tothis city it hus thrown of the shackles and freed Iteclf from all outside dicta. tion. The Grand Trunk will after this bo to Chleage during the winter what tho Inke fs to It during the summer,—a regutntor of rates. In- stentot. the Grand ‘Trunk aeeopting the data. ton of the trunk-lines, it willherenfter bo ableto alctate terme to the latter, [t hnanll the polntsin Its favor, It owns the entire Ine between this eity and Portland, and, in conjunction with tho Vermont Central, ims un equally independent Jing to Boston. It haa to diyido its earnings with no other roads, and can therefore accept. siteb as it thinka will pay a fair profit. But it haga still greater advantage on tho export business, heense it controls tho terminal facllitica at Portland, and is. not compulled to pay three centa for Hightorgo, ote., ns 18 tho caso at Now York, Philndelphin. and othor scabourd ports, Besides, the ocenn route from Portland and Boston to Liverpool is much shorter than from Now York anid Lalindelneta, and the steamnor rates nre parecer y lower. Thus, hy making Joint through rites from Chicago to Iiverpool, tho Grand Trunk is enabled to defy all competitors, a8 will be nblo to do tho business at lower rates than any of tho Now York lines, without Buttorliig alos. That the opening of the now Hine wil result ina war on cast-bound freight business thero can bo no doubt, for tho Now York trunk Mines cannot ford to lot all tho businces be diverted over tho new route, and consequently they must reduco the rates.’ An open rupturo me bo deferred for a month ors, becnuso It will take that long to get the now Grand ‘Trunk into good working order, but as soon is the line {6 in nm condition to carry all tho business that offers tho fun will begin. Itis for this reason that the Grand Trunk continues tts arrange- ment. for nn interchange of busiuess with tho Now York lines, and allows tha new line to do an jndeneintont business for the thine being, ‘That. the Grand Trans will be able to secure the bulk of the trafic if it offors tho most favorable terms Is best proven by the fact that even boforo the new ine was open, and whilo it was still compelled to uso the New York linos asa Chi- cago outlet, It has during the Inst four or five weeks cnrried moro than one-half of nll the cust- bound grain bualnoss from thisclty. With its now ling open, and independent of the Vander- bilt ronds, it Is falr to auppose that it will re- celvo n still larger proportion wniess the Now York Hnes_ should offer superior Inducoments for shipping over thelr linck. With even rates the shippers here proposo to patronize the Grand Trunk, tor they {cel quite certain that it will never ho used n inst tholr intorests, na hhashbeon he case with the old ronds sineo the establish- mont of the Fink pool, The Grand Trunk has no other Western outlots and must stick to Chi- eset a therefore Chicugo will stick by tho ran unk, A COMPROMISE.

The little lady, while sho appeared to fairly undorstand what Gilbert meant by his creation of the reclalmed tramp, was physically entirely unable to tnterprot it, Sho was doticfont in that brondness of spirit and that powor of sufforing wanted in the churicter.
