CIVIL SERVICE.
Judge Wallace Closes the Discussion and
Denies the Application.

New YORK, Sept. 26.
The quo warranto proceedings of James A.
Hinckley against DOrman B. Eaton. Leroy
E. Thoman and John NJ. Gregory, civil ser
vice commissioners. came up before Judge
Wallace in the United States Circuit Court,
Saturday. Hincklev asks leave to begin an
action TO remove the commissioners and
abolish the commission on the ground Of un-
consttutonality. The court room was crowd
ed with friends and enemies of civil service
reform. United States District Attorney
Dorsheimer and Dorman b. Eaton appeared
for the commissioners, while Morris S. Miller
represented Hinckley. In opening, Dorshei-
mer said that the case was an important one
and as all parties interested were present he
thought 1t should be disposed of. Judge
Wallace decided to hear the motion after the
regular calendar
Miller, when Hinckley's case was called,
demanded to know who appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. 81 appear for all these defendants"
said the district attorney, land by the direc-
tion of the President of the United States Of
America"
Miller objected to the commissioners being
represented by a government official as the
United States has no real status in the case
Dorsheimer then moved the court to decide
whether or not the argument should be con-
fined only to the constitutional jurisdiction #
the court. The commission, Miller confined
exercised unwarranted powers and was di-
rectly opposed to the rights of citizens.
Judge Wallace-"I can't sit here and listen
to arguments on an abstract proposition
This discussion must be closed. When you
applied for a writ presumed there would be
some authorities produced or argument but
you have not submitted any. / think it s
time to close the discussion. 1t is the only
one which could give YOU a basis for your
application and that was an application in
the State court Of Massachusetts and it was
denied. must also deny your application +"

A serious riot occurred at 2 o'clock this
morning at Laughin's mill, near Martins

placed on duty by the men employed in the
mill. Over two hundred shots were exchanged
and number of men at work were wounded
only two of them seriously however The
attacking party, armed with shot guns and re-
volvers, came up to the mill from the direc
tion of Martins terry. They advanced to
within 80 PAGES of the mill, when the guards
called upon them three times to halt The
assailants paid no attention but charged, fir
ing off their guns and revolvers. The men
in the mill reinforced the guards and lively
fasilade ensued, Firing was continued in a
desultory manner for nearly half an hour,

SPORTING.
THE RING.
John Joyce Does Pat Burke Up in Five
Rounds.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, Sept. 26.
prize fight took place this afternoon at
Mckee's Rocks, between John joyce of Lee
tonia, Ohio, champion of that State. and Pat
Burke of Mekeesport, Pa. The fight was a
desperate one and resulted in favor of the
Ohio champion, who appeared to have things
pretty much his own way. Shortly before
noon a select crowd of some 80 well known
sporting men of this vicinity boarded the
packet Venus, which steamed down the river
until Mekee's Rocks were reached, when the
crowd disembsrked and took possession of
the skating rink. The ring was pitched on
the platform in the rink. Joyce stripped at
200 pounds, Burke at lS5. The match was
for 500 side, with three ounce gloves un-
der Marquis of Queensbury rules. John
Turner of Philadelphia was selected as ref
cree, and the fight began. After shaking
hands and some preliminary sparring, Joyce
began to force the fighting, with the ap-
parent intention of knocking out Burke in
round or two. Joyce drove Burke all around
the platform, and finally, by a blow on the
mouth, knocked him down. Burke struck at
Joyce while down and foul was claimed
but the referee refused to allow it, warning
the men that if ANYTHING of the kind was re-
peated he would allow a foul.
Second round-Ioyce again forced the
fighting, and knocked Burke down five times
getting in some terrible blows on the head
and face. During this round there was great
confusion from the crowd yelling and press
ing around the principals. The confusion
was quieted and the round given to Joyce.
Third round-Burke came up very groggy,
while Joyce seemed as fresh as ever. At the
very beginning joyce hit Burke a savage
blow and knocked him clear out of the ring.
Burke stood up and received fearful punish
ment, being knocked down four times.
Fourth round-Burke was apparently
badly winded and dropped every chance he
got to escape punishment. Joyce finally got
in good blow and knocked Burke flat.
Fifth round-Burke seemed to have re-
covered his wind, aud showed up in better
shape than he had done in the previous
rounds. Burke attempted to force the fight
ing, but had waited too long. He fought
feebly, and the round ended by Joyce knock
ing Burke down, and he fell with sound
which was heard all over the rink. Burke
was unable to respond at the call of ''time"
and the fight was given to Joyce.
The agreement was that if Burke stood up
for five rounds he would win and his idea
was to dodge as much as possible in the
early rounds and do all his fighting in the
fifth. Burke was horribly punished about
the head, face and chest, while Joyce had not
a scratch.

KNITTING FACTORY
At Linden, Mass, DESTROYED by Fire
Loss $4,000.
MAInEN. Sent 2G

MAIDEN, Sept. &c.
The alarm of fire from box 5S, at Linden.
at 4.25 o'clock, this morning, was for fire
in the extensive knitting mandatory of
Mrs. Elizabeth Collins on Cleveland street.
The building, which is 100 feet long by 80
wide, has been built about five years. and
large Business was carried on there in the
manufacture of mittens, gloves and jackets, a
lot of new machinery having just been put in
One side of the building was occupied by
John Collins as tenement, who lost nearly
all his furniture, his loss being 5000; unin-
sured' The loss on the building ia estimated
at $4,000, with an insurance of $1,000, and the
total loss on the machinery is $4,000, covered
by an insurance of $4,000. The stock on
hand was damaged to the extent of 5000 or
$500. and is not insured. The fire caught
from the chimney. Some delay was caused
by large quantities Of eels which, in passing
through the hose, blocked up the nozzles. A
house adjoining, occupied by Mr.. Richardson,
was slightly damaged. This manufactorv
was burned five years ago. The prompt work
of the tiremen prevented the fire from spread
ing to number of adjoining buildings.
