Him IN a Neat ana sudden Way.
About dark last evening in front Of the
Western Uuion office a man who had been
working for G.. w. jones, on his ranch,
kept annoying that gentleman with
abusive language aud fin lily put his hand
in hi, hip pocket as ii 10 draw a weapon,
w%hereuppn Mr.. Jones very promptly
knocked him down. The man lay on the
sidewalk several minutes with Jones
standing over him and Us 0 Ms he was
allowed to regain his feet he began
IN the most obscene and p~rofane way to
abuse Jones again. The latter bore il for
u time, but losing his patience at last took
a run at the fellow and struck him in the
mouth such a jolt as cut off MS with a
knife one Of the lad mans choicest cpl
thets, AMI the blow was given with such
nicely and precision that bystanders re-
marked, "Oh, WASH that a Auisyl' and
other things Of laudatory and highly en-
couraging character. The fellow, whose
name is Harry Culvin, staggered back
ward under the blow aud finally toppled
oven hors du CONDUIT. He seemed then to
be quite docile, but regaiuiug his feet
went On with his abuse as before. Jones
paid no further attention to hun but went
into his Office to wash his hands. which
were bloody from the claret which he had
drawn from Colvin, and also from a cut
on the knueklo where it had come in con-
tact with Culvin's teeth. The latter con-
tinued to swagger about and talk Of what
he would do and to ask persons present to
lend him a six shooter. He is consider.
ably larger than Jones, but proved to be
nowhere near the %lattvr's match in the
manly art Of self-defense. Just us Col

The Short Measure FRAUD.

One of the most barefaced frauds of the
day, says the Bangor Commercial, is prac-
ticed by the pickers and dealers in berries,
In the matter of measure, and yet we seldom
hear a protest against it, In the majority of
cases, perhaps, eight out Of ten, the pur-
chaser of quart box of berries, so-called
gets only three half-pintS as may readily be
found by turning the contents of the box in
to sealed quart measure. There is no ex-
cuse for such imposition as.thiS; if the pick
er or dealer thinks the price too low, let him
not seek to make up the difference by cut
ting down the measure by means of thick
bottomed, shallow boxes, but charge a fair
price for fair quart, for people always like
to know exactly what they are getting for
their money, and such subterfugeS as short
weight and ''deaconing" only tend to en-
courage sharp practices and destroy conf
dence between buyer and seller. The blue
berries sold in the streets of this city are put
up In oblong wooden boxes which are often
claimed to hold eight quarts, never less than
seven. Years ago they came in what are
used for the larger size of ground rock-salt
boxes, which might possibly, if shaken well.
contain seven and One-half quarts, but now
the great bulk of the berries are sold in shall
low boxes such as smoked herring are packed
in, and six and one-half quarts are the con-
tents Still the boxes are claimed to con-
tain seven to seven and one-half quarts The
berries are cheap enough, perhaps too cheap
for any profit, although, MANY of them are
careleSsly picked, but as before remarked, let
measure be sold for what it is, and make
the price accordingly. 1t has been suggested
that all quart berry boxes be sealed accord
ing to law, just as grocers' measures are, and
there is no reason why the suggestion should
not be carried out

1t was subjective influence that changed

ST. LOUIS TRUNK MYSTERY.
More About the Antecedents of the
Alleged Murderer of Preller.

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-The national school
master at Hyde near Birmingham, who, it
has been reported, is the father of Maxwell,
the murderer of Preller, being interviewed
on the subject to-day said he had a son
named Hugh Mottram Brooks who was a
solicitor; that he resided in the United States
and had formerly been articled to a firm in
Stockport. Hugh Brooks is doubtless
identical with Maxwell He was formerly a
clerk in the office of Browne & Ainsworth at
Stockport. In January last he left Hyde,
taking with him a tricycle. and photograph
apparatus belonging to DR.. Sidebothom of
Hyde, having evidently sold his own effects
to pay creditors The description of Max
wells manners and walk exactly tallies with
Hugh's style, and it is noteworthy that Max
well sold the tricycle. in Boston, and that the
number of the watch he sold to a jeweller of
st. Louis agrees with the number recorded
in the books of Hyde maker as that of a
watch he sold to Hugh Brooks.
The portrait of Maxwell published in a
Washington paper exactly resembles Brooks.
1t is certain that Hugh and Preller became
acquainted in England and sailed for Ameri-
ca together and equally certain that Hugh
was out of funds. The fact that Hugh
dabbled in chemical experiments makes the
chloroform story plausible. Letters reached
Hyde which were mailed at St. Louis a
couple of days prior to the murder. The
case has aroused much excitement at Hyde.

CoURTNEY--CoNLEY
Win in the Double ScuIi Race at
Pleasure Island, N. Y,
Beating caudaur and Hosmer Three
Lengths,
In the Unprecedented Time of ~
Min. 81 ia Sec.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 20.-Between 10000
and $4,000 persons witnessed the double scull
race between Courtney and Conley and Gau-
daur and Hosmer, at Pleasure Island, this
afternoon. Courtney won the choice of posi-
tions, and took the inside course AT five
minutes past six the word was given, and
the contestants started away, Gaudaur and
Hosmer getting off first Both crews pulled
at 80 strokes to the minute Before 100 feet
had been passed, Courtneys tremendous
strength was felt, and at twice the distance
his boat was quarter length ahead, the
stroke having been increased to AZ, which
was maintained to the end. After passing
Island Park, Gaudaur and Hosmer put in
their best efforts and almost evened up, but
at the upper end of the island Courtney and
Conley had put clear water between them
and their competitors. AT the stake boat
there was trouble which threatened to turn
the race into disaster. Both crews sought
to make short turns, but they had not calcu-
lated the strength of the tide and were borne
against the stake boat Courtney and Conley
made q bad foul, and those who could
not see the cause of the accident,
set up shout that the Union Springs
oarsman was sat his old tricks"
There was derisive cry of "Who sawed the
boat, but before its echoes had died out the
oarSmen got their oars into the water again
and sped on. Gaudaur and Hosmer also foul
ed the stake boat, but only slightly. All
along the home stretch there were several
lengths Of clear water between the boats.
Gaudaur and Hosmer made plucky strug-
gle for stern chase and when they were a
quarter mile from the finish spurted for all
that was in them. They closed up the lead
from five lengths to three lengths, but Court
ney and Conley would let them come no
nearer and this distance was preserved un-
til the line was crossed.
When it was seen that the sbraVe squirt of
the defeated OarSmen would avail nothing a
mighty cheer arose from the thousands on
the island for Courtney who had at length re-
gained his laurels and justified the confidence
of his friends.
The time, considering the tide and mishap
at the stakeboat, was phenomenal, beating
all previous records, 1t was given by official
timekeepers as I'm. 574 seconds. Immedi-
ately after the race Gaudaur and Hosmer en-
tered a protest. claiming the boat of Court
ney and Conley had been assisted around the
stakeboat by an occupant of the latter, but
Major Frances of Troy, who acted as referee
would not entertain the protest, and award
ed the race to Courtney and Conley. His de-
cision was universally cheered
Hanlan andLee today issued a challenge to
the winners of the double scull match be-
