quick perception OF the reporter that bow ana that

resumption of the contest, d la outunce, was pre-
sened, and the combatants all ranged themselves In
opposing lines. The spectators anticipated the usual
proclamation by the pursuivants, the order by the
herald to engage the sounding charge the CLASH Oh
OF feeling which brings at such times the whole
picture OF scene yet unacted before the minds eye
at once-a sort of phantasmagoria- which lessons
not the enjoyment OF the reality In all It's details as
the struggle progresses. But how is thisP The
knights on either side all turn to the raised dais,
where sits the Judge Of the lists to whom they make
courtly bow In unison, and then bow less courte
GUS bow to be sure, but not less gracious one, TO
otnef across the table which has heretofore
incredulOus, those who deemed from the first that
these terrible denunciators OF each other and of the
cause they separately represented were really In
earnest, and that such deadly struggle
could only end in the destruction of one side the
other, or both. Even the uninitlated in such fields
OF conflict smelled mice-realized the fact that
there was "sell'' somewhere. Some show of the
hbited, however, after the first recognition, when
the Vanderbilters drew forth number Of legal in
struments called afiidavts, which they presented to
the Judge, the Drewtes saying they had nothing to
say In opposition, but that they would like to ex
anime said instruments at the pleasure OF the court
Subsequently the Drewtes put in one or two similar
instruments called anidavits, which the other side
asked leave in the fulness Of time, to examine and
which the Judge in the fulness of his heart seeing
that the whole thing, which had personally and judi
cially given him so much trouble, was likely to be
ranged to the satisfaction and benefit OF all con-
cerned granted. Some little confusion followed as
to the time when they would all appear again TO
wind up the whole concern, close accounts, strike
balances, shake hands and run the whole concern,
Erie and all, as 1t was run before the Erie war was
ever thought OF. SO ended the first meeting for the
completion Of the proposed amnesty.

A WOMAN ASSAULTS A MAN WITH A SHOvEL-A
woman named Jane Holt was arrested last evening
by officer Covers, Of the Fortythrd precinct police,
on charge of feoniously assaulting James Slater,
shoemaker residing at the corner OF Willow and At
lantic streets. 1t appears from what can be ascer
tanned, that Mrs. Holt was passing along Atlantic
street when Slater made use Of some insulting cpl
thet which she construed as just cause for resent
ment, and thereupon seizng shovel that was close
at hand she dealt the offending shoemaker severe
blow the side OF the head, infictng scalp wound
and knocking him down. The injured man was
taken to the City Hospital. The examination viii
take place before Justice Delmar to-day.
