ON THE STREETS

Dover is a place remarkable for the number
of street fights and other disorderly street
scenes. On Saturday night Jew and a
Gentle placed themselves before each other
and commenced combat of fists which ended
in the downfall of the Jew. Luckily for
Dover, at seasonabe time in this act a con-
stable arrested the fighters, and as soon as
the case was stated, Squire Dickson imposed
the usual fine on the Jew. MiddletoWn peo-
pie are given over to complaint against the
noisy crowd of negroes that congregate in the
streets every Saturday night but if they
could see Dover on a Saturday night, moth
ing but pleasure would they experience to
know that Middletown is no comparison in
way ofoutrageous actions.
