blow caused Stephens to stumble and both
men Were on their knees on the sidewalk.
Kelly was first up and struck Stephens in
the face. The latter tried to gain his feet
but slipped on the incline leading from the
cross-walk on Seventh street, and while on
his knees Kelly got him around the neck
and struck him several heavy blows in the
face. Several attempted to interfere, but
others pulled them back, saying, Let them
fight" AS Stephens was getting up with
Kelly still on his back punching him in
the face Tom Scott pulled him off and the
men were separated, but both seemed anx-
ious TO continue the fight.
1t caused quite an assemblage, and the
friends of both parties soon got them away
and the matter quieted down.
Later in the evening Dick Singleton
dared Kelly out of the Capital Hotel to
fight, but the latter refused to pay any at
tention to his taunts and threats. Singleton
poked his head in the door and said :
" You can whip an old man, but you are
no good"
"Oh, go way. I want nothing to do with
you or your kind"
You dassent come outside and say that.
You are stinker, and that means fight"
You are gentleman, Dick"
" les, and that's the first id truth you
ever told in your life"
An hour or so thereafter all was serene.

The Howards, Benefit.

The Howard Benevolent Association,
concerning which the whole community is
well informed, and the claims of which are
so strong upon the people, takes benefit
at the Metropolitan Theater next Monday
evening, when Charles Dickens, Jr., will
give readings from the works of his father,
the greatest and most popular of the Eng
lish novelists. Last year he took the plat
form as a reader and made the tour of
England and the Provinces, meeting with
unquestioned success. In October last he
opened in New York, and has since been
making the tour of the United States. He
will read here the five opening chapters of
David Copperfield and the trial scene of
Bardell and Pickwick.
Mr.. Dickens has for many years been the
editor of Household Words and AU the Year
Round, and to escape the drudgery of edi-
torial work in part he took to the reading
platform. He appeared in San Francisco
Monday night before brilliant audience.
Of his style the Chronicle saws " He was
ell rapport with his audience before he had
read five lines, and at the end of the first
chapter was already en- established favor
ite." The Examiner says he did not en-
thuse his audience, that he has a good
delivery, and if he did not come I'D to ex-
pectation left pleasant impression. The
Call says he has remarkably pleasing ad-
dress. The AhG says: Mr.. Dickens is a
delightful reader, with beautiful modu-
lated voice, and gestures that are graceful
and appropriate without any affectation or
staginess"

The Amount of Water Used In this City
Rapidly Increasing.
There is constant demand upon US to
extend the water mains of this city, and
there has been miles of pipe laid in the last
few years, but what we most need is some
thing to fill the mains which we already
have down." remarked Trustee Wolf to
REcoRD-UEIoE reporter yesterday DO
you know" continued Mr.. Wolf, that we
are in bad condition in this city to-day.
and that our condition is growing worst
daily? Well, l will explain. When the
Holly pumps were put in with a capacity
CT 100000 gallons per day, or q ,000, 600
gallons per week, that was thought to be
enough for this city for all time. Asa
matter of protection to the city in case of
breakdown, the Stevens pump was put in
with capacity of say 100000 gallons per
day or 2S,000,00O gallons per week. Last
week, and street sprinkling had not fairly be-
gun, q 900 600 gallons were pumped. Here
was more water used than the Holly could
pump by 30 per cent, and almost as much
as the Stevens pump could furnish when
run at its fullest capacity. Both pumps
when run at their full capacity can furnish
only 40 100000 gallons per week. The records
show that last season Al 622. $50 gallons were
used in one week, and if the increase of
last week over the corresponding week of
last year is anys criterion to go by, the
pumps will be unable to furnish the neces-
sary supply this season."
The Third Trustee said he had no doubt
but that there was considerable water
wasted. The greatest quantity was used in
iTrigating lawns, vegetable and flower gar
