HIS HONOR WAS REFEREE.

Two Lawyers Fight.

Two Lawyers Fight.
KANSAS CITY, March %, 1SS9.-During
the argument of a petit larceny case be
fore Justice of the Peace Wixon at Hoxie,
Kan, yesterday, J. L. Patterson and
William Langley, both muscular, well
built middle weight lawyers, became in
volved in dispute as to their relative
fighting powers. The two exchanged
words and taunts for some time, then each
barred his muscular arm and called on the
Justice to decide the dispute.
Justice Wixon, who is a lover of the
manly art, decided that the only way in
which the thing could be settled was with
bare knuckles, and declared his willing
ness to adjourn the case for time to allow
the attorneys to settle the dispute. The
two accepted the proposition and adj
journed to a large hail. About all the
men in the place gathered to see the fun.
Patterson and Langley stripped to their
undershirts, and with the Justice as
referee, squared off at each other in regu-
lar pugilistic style. Suddenly Patterson s
right shot out and a moment later Lang
lev was sprawling on the floor. This un-
nerved the doughty lawyer, and, picking,
up his clothes, he left the hall. Langley
arose moment later, but was not bent on
fighting. The battle was declared draw.

GLADST0NE'S NEW PLAN.

BE Begun at Once in England.

Be Begun at Once in England.
[l7y Gable to the Unitea P,.ess.l
LONDON, March %, 1889. There is every
reason to believe that Mr. Gladstone will
shortly call meeting of his followers, and
that a new scheme of home rule will be
submitted for their adoption. The Ma
tionalists and Liberals are to
be drawn more closely together and
an electioneering campaign begun. The
campaign will be prosecuted with extra
ordinary vigor, both by frequent speeches
from prominent members OF the two par
ties and by organization. Subscriptions are
pouring in to assist the latter, one wealthy
member in the Liberal ranks already hav-
ing given 10000. A hard fight is ex-
pected in ireland if the rumored
sale of the Ponsonby estate proves
to be authentic. 1t is reported that
the estate, cleared of It's tenants,
don don company for farming purposes.
as there are 400 tenants on the place, and
they are the most vigorous supporters OF
the ''plan of campaign" " the government
will probably require all the Queens
horses and all the Queens men before
they finish the business.
The Lord Mayor of London is doing a
good work in assisting poor and deserving
people to go to Paris during the coming
exhibition, and have look at the fair
capital of France. He is collect
ing money for this purpose, and is
aided by number of gentlemen
The Mayor himself has contributed
largely to the scheme, which is very popu-
lar among the workingmen. Mr.. Quentin
Hogg, the founder of the Polytechnic, is
also organizing large expedition to go to
Paris, for which he has obtained special
rates on the railways.
Another cheap excursion has been ar
ranged and on April 16 sixty East Enders
will start off for trip to Venice. The
party will go through Antwerp, Lueerne,
Milan and Verona to Venice, arriving on
the 23d. They will remain in Venice a
week and come home by the way of Lake
LuganS.
v, The Parnellites criticize the government
for wont OF fairness in the statement
made by Mr.. Matthews, the Home Secre-
tary, in the House of Commons, that the
Parnellites' counsel should have the same
freedom of access to prisoners in get
ting up their case that the Times
lawyers did. The Parnellites per-
tinently ask If they also will be allowed
to extend pardon to convicts who will
testify in their behalf as was done in the
Times case Without this powerful lever
for raising evidence, the Times would not
only possess the advantage, they say, but
the freedom of access" to convicts will
be absolutely useless

His rather Complained of Him.

Joseph Sheridan, of No. al Morris
street, was arrested yesterday by Con-
stable Woodbury. on warrant issued by
Justice Weed, upon complaint of his
father. who said that the young man came
home drunk yesterday and raised a dis
turbance. He then went out with pail
for more beer, and his father locked him
out. When he came back he broke open
the door, and, upon gaining admittance,
smashed every article of furniture
which came within his reach
When Constable Woodbury. went to ar
rest him, he resisted and fought the con-
stable savagely. Woodbury. succeeded in
getting him to the Gregory street station,
however, and he was held for trial.

TRENTON, N. j., March 81, 1SS9.-Mc-

more patting on the back will be required

that McDermit was suffering from the
ailment known in the Horse Shoe district
as the 'sbig headn McDermit did not
speak to Feeney when they met at the pie
counter in the lobby. When Speaker
Hudspeth explained that he did not
refer to the Prohibitionists as NASTY"
McDermit inquired with intense sarcasm,
if there were any Prohibitionists in Mr..
Hudspeth's district. All that Mr.. Nc
Dermit made out of it was the reply from
Mr.. Hudspeth that there were, and that
he respected them highly. 1t is neverthe-
less believed that Assemblyman McDer-
NIT will have overcome his wrath by next

FEENEY's GAS BILL.
But, talking about long records, this is
nothing TO the Feeney Gas bill. The Sen
ate record shows that this measure,
in which the people of Jersey City
are so deeply interested, reached
that easy going and deliberative
body March 4. This was the day Presi-
dent Harrison was inaugurated for four
years term. 1t is not yet announced that
the Feeney Gas bill is in the Committee
on Corporations for four years term, but
Mr.. Feeney scowls when the subject Is
mentioned
Senator Bogert, the chairman of the
committee, twas putting ON his overcoat
before going back to Hohokus, when he
was Rasked If the committee had held q
meeting. OF course it hadn't. "Pfeiffer
isn't here to-day" Mr.. Bogert said with
a chuckle. Senator Pfeiffer is the one
member of the committee who is openly,
unreservedly in favor of the interests OF the
people, and the injustice of the insinuation
lies in the fact that for the past two
weeks he has been not only ready for the
meeting at any time, but has expressed
his willingness to report the bill without
further delay if Senator Bogert's concur
renee could be obtained Senator Bogert's
excuse next week will probably be that he
is laboring with the State finances as a
member of the special committee ap-

For the benefit of those interested in the
projected consolidation of Harrison and
Kearny, it may be said here that Assem-
blyman Farrell laughs with scorn at the
idea that the measure won't go through.

caucus" he said, and every Democrat
will vote for it when it comes up. You'll

Senator Abrams Queer Mistake About
the Anti-Swindiecate Measures.
Especial to the jersey City Neacs
TRENTON, March q, 1889. Some mild
surprise was caused by the statement pub
lished in THE JERSEY CRY NEWS yester-
day that Senator Adrain explained the
failure of the Committee on Riparian
Rights to act on the Feeney Swindlecate
Water bill by saying that the committee
was waiting to receive the second Hep
penheimer Anti-Swindlecate bill from the
Assembly. From Mr.. Abrams remarks
it would appear that he imagined that the
bill was stilrpending in the House. That,
however, is not the case. An exanina-
tion Of the House calendar shows
that the bill referred to was
passed by an almost unanimous
vote March H. 1t is now March 21.
Colonel Heppenheimer, when asked about
it, seemed surprised that the bill was not
in Mr.. Abrams committee. An examina-
tion was then made of the Senats docket.
This showed that the bill has not yet

BOYS IN AN ENGINE CAB.

They Camped There All Night, but Luck
lily Did Not Take Ride.
Detective Whalen, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad service, arrested three boys
this morning at half-past five,
whom he found asleep in the
cab Of a locomotive in the railroad yards
The BOYS were Charles Smith, aged fif-
teen wears, of No. 1913 Canal street, Garry
Wohlf aged sixteen years, of No. 1877
Fourth street, and William Brown, aged
sixteen years, of No. 224 Barrow street.
They had barricaded the door of the cab
and Whalen was obliged to use force be-
fore he could gain adlnittance. The boys
had cut away the seats and otherwise dis
figured the cab.
The fires of the locomotive were banked
and the guage registered 150 pounds of
steam. The boys said that they merely
crawled into the cab because they con-
sidered it warm place to sleep in. One
of them intimated that they thought of
starting the engine and taking ride this
morning. If they had carried out
this intention, the railroad men say, they
would have been unable to handle the
locomotive, and the damage they would
have done along the road would have been
considerable.
The boys were held for examination.

HUNTNGTON's TRUST.

The semi-Official announcement that
Mr.. HUNTINGTON has completed all ar
engagements for his long talked-of alli-
ance of Western railroad lines. and
that his original consolidation scheme
is about consolidated. will create no sur
prise: yet it is Il matter of interest to
Northwestern people to learn that one
of our most important lines is to be in
cluded in the combine. Ever since Mr..
HUNTINGTON refused to go into JAY
GOULD's "Gentlemen'S Association"
it has been understood that he had
scheme of his own for forming a rail
road combine that would render his
railroad interests independent of the
cut-thrOat policy that the Western lines
were pursuing. 1t now transpires that
with the money he realized from the
sale of the Chesapeake 81 Ohio road
Mr.. HUNTINGTON has been buying up
the stock of the Chicago. Milwaukee
d st. Paul and the Denver & Rio
Grande, and now proposes to make them
a part of his trust. The HUNTINGTON
consolidation, according to the figuring
of the Chicago Tribune. amounts to 27,-
600 miles of railroad, or little more
than One-siXth of the entire railroad
mileage of the country. 1t is said to in
clude the following lines: The Wabash,
the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul, the
AtchisOn, Topeka q Santa Fe, the Den
yer d Rio Grande, the Missouri Pacific
and the Southern Pacific. 1t is further
more said that the funding of the debt
of the Milwaukee and the new funding
scheme of the AtchiSOn, Topeka &
Santa Fe were devised in view of the
, formation Of the proposed cOnSOida-
ton, and that formal announcement
Of the consolidation will be made as
soon as these schemes are consum-
mated.
This is by all odds the biggest rail
road combination that has yet been eff
fected. and will most probably result in
the establishment of the great railway
trust that has been MIR. GoULD's dar-
ling idea for several years. 1t is assert
ed that the knowledge Of the formation
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. combina-
ton inspired the combinations among
our Northwestern railroads which re-
Gently created SO much sensation in rail-
way circles. The Milwaukee line, being
connected with the HUNTINGTON COM
bine, will doubtless be used to adj
vantage in making war upon roads that
attempt to demOralize the HUNTINGTON
alliance. The situation is an interest
ing one. to say the least, and the public
Will wait with some Impotence to see
what they will see-whch will probably
be a final union of all the railroad inter
ests of this country.

NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

One would hardly think from the
stiffness which prevails in this quarter
that exciting political campaigns are
being conducted in the states to the
south and east of US. An occasional
breeze watts to our ears the sound of
claSbing dGmijOhnS in Iowa, and when
the wind is very fair we now and then
get an echo Of FoRAKEE'S voice sing
ing above the noise of the fray as he
leads an imaginary charge against the
rebel lines at Petersburg. As post
cent success, whose equal has not been
seen on earth since SANCHo PANZA's
conquest Of the windmillS- They are
having an Old-fashiOned country cleo
ton down in New Jersey, where the
farmers gather at the country stores to
drink cider and swap jokes. Up in Mas
sachusetts and down in Pennsylvania
they are having an educational tariff
campaign. while in Virginia it is
knOck-dOWn and drag-Out between the
MahOnites and the Ants. Mississippi,
as usual, is having a One-sided cam
paign. In none of the states are the is
sues of sufficient Importance to attract
attention beyond their respective Dor
derS, except in Ohio and Virginia,
where they are rather personal than
nOtiOnal. 1t is fight to the death with
MAHONE and FORAKER. and both Of
them are bleeding at the fifth rib from
wounds inflicted by their own party
leaders. To ali human appearances,
MAHONE'S goose Is cooked; but if he
should pull through by the use Of money
and federal power, it would only be
personal victory. and would not signify
dissolution of the solid South. FORA
KER has better show than MAHONE.
In the first place, he has a clean party
majority at his back; and in the second
place, he is a triHe more decent
man than the Virginia guerrilla. 1t
is true therei is treachery enough among
the Republicans to bury FORAKER out
OF sight if il were not for the singular
fact that his Democratic competitor is
embarrassed by the same trouble. Gen.
CAMPBELL is probably the victim of as
much treason as FORAKER. There are
so many wheels within wheels in Ohio
politics that it is always unsafe TO pre-
dict results in an off year In the
Buckeye state. Still. if FORAKER wins
or loses, it will only be a personal vic
tory or a personal loss. If he wins, he
will at once inaugurate his presidential
canvass, and will proceed to make it
lively for the HARRISON administration
the next three years; and for this reason
alone the outcome of the Ohio cam
paign will be waited for with interest.

HOME SAVdGES.

If the good people who sit in sackcloth
and ashes bewailing the fate of the ig-
norant natives of Tim5uctoo. and who
are scurrying around begging pennies
here, there and everywhere to send to
heather lands, would only give atten-
the relief Of the benighted dwellers in
ton to matters nearer home, they would
possibly find better field for their mis-
siOnary labors, and more practical use
for their charity. The other day, down
in Kentucky, the governor was asked to
commute the sentence of a twelve-year-
old boy who had been sent to state
prison tor life. On an investigation OF
the case the governor learned that the
crime of which the boy had beer. con-
victed was the murder Of a younger
brother, whom he had knocked in the
head and then sunk the body in a stream.
1t was further learned that the youthful
murderer and his victim were the chill
dren of poor and llliterate parents,
who lived up in the mountain regions
of Kentucky, and that they had never
been taught the difference between
right and wrong. To all intentS and
purposes they were in as benighted
condition as the natives of TimbuctoO,
and in far more miserable plight than
the citizens of China and Japan, upon
whom millions of dollars of missionary
money are spent. When the kind

hearted gentleman who presides over
the destinies of the Blue Grass state
learned the facts in the case. he ordered
the prisoner to be transferred from the
penitentiary to reform school, where
he is to be kept until he is of age. when
he will be released unless good reason
to the contrary is shown. 1t has not
been a great while since there was a
similar case in New York among the
tenement slums of that city. While in
all tine larger cities and in the out-of-
the-way communities of the rural sec
tons there are thousands of children
here in our own land who are densely
ignorant of all moral and religious
truths, it does seem to be stretch OF
Christian charity TO be sending so much
money away to be applied to the in
structiOn of the heather when it could
be used to so much better advantage in
enlightening our home savages. At
least, it Is a matter that merits the atten-
ton of the philanthrOpist.
