Fighting in the Market.

--George W. Duncan, a young man apparently not twenty-one years of age, was before Mayor Saunders yesterday on the charge of fighting with a negro in the Second Market. Mr. Howard testified that he was in the market on Thursday morning and heard an altercation between the accused and a negro, the latter applying to Duncan a profane and vulgar epithet. Could not say which struck the first blow. Mr. H. H. Starr testified to facts almost similar. The Mayor required Duncan to give surety in the sum of $100 to keep the peace towards all the citizens of the Commonwealth for twelve months.
