And His Brother Fined Ten Dollars for
Swearing in Court.
The examination of Michael William,
the Italian who is charged with having
stabbed Edward Curley Saturday even
ing, was continued before Justice Stilsing
this morning.
Rosina Spinatti, ETC., the child wife of
the man with an unpronounceable name,
who is said to have done the cutting and
run away to New York, repeated her tes-
timony of yesterday to the effect that her
husband stabbed Curley because he in
suited her, and then ran away.
The interpreter said that William was
playing ball on Saturday night with sew
eral felloW-countrymen and was assaulted
by one of the players. He then went to
the Gregory Street Police Station to COM
plain of his assailant, when he was ar
rested.
James Byrnes, John McShane and John
Mccarthy, the three boys who claim to
nave seen the atfray, repeated their testi-
mony, and declared positively that
William was the man.
They were equally as positive that the
woman who claims to have been insulted
is not the woman who was there at the
time. William was committed for
trial.
Joseph William, brother of the accused,
was in court sitting near McShane. The
latter told Joseph that the Spinatti
woman was nowhere neal the scene of
the assault, whereat Joseph called him q
liar of O. very awful description. Then
the Judge fined Joseph $40 for swearing
in court. M a

Councilman Cronin moved that the

The Pavonia Yacht Club held a pro-
tracted but interesting meeting last
night at the club house, foot of Jersey
avenue. The attendance was large.
This is IN unusual time of the year to

rolled last night. One was Percy R Har-

PAyoNIA CLUB CRUISE.
The cruise of the Pavonia Club to the
Fishing Banks, on Saturday night, will
be a pleasant affair if the weather is pro-
pitious. The owners of four boats nave
declared that they are going-Commodore
Kohn, who owns the Phantom; Mr..
Mittelsdorf, who will sail in the Avalon;
Mr.. John Ward, who owns the Anna
Seaman; Mr.. A. J. Guabert, owner
of the Avon-and MI. ID. E. Laper,
who owns the Mascot, is making arrange
ments to go, and probably will. 1t is ex-
pected that several of the large boats in
the fleet will also participate in the trip.
The boats will start at the beginning of
the ebb tide, between six and seven
O'Clock. The Anna Seaman is being
cleaned up for the event.

street. After considerable discussion,
the Board voted unanimously against the
granting of the application.
1t will be remembered that a short time
ago the railroad company tore away the
bridge over T~wenty-tifth street without
asking permission OF the city authorities,
and the work was stopped by order of the
Mayor until the company had sought and
gained formal permission from the city
to tear down the old bridge and build o
new one.
Shortly after commencing the latter it
was found that the company were build
ing it two feet above the established
grade of the street and the Street Com
missioner swooped down upon them and
stopped the work. 1t was for this reason
in particular that the Council last
night refused to grant the
raising of the street grade. Not only was
this refused, but on motion OF Council
man Scofield, the City Attorney was in
structed to take legal action at once TO
compel the to place a bridge
over the avenue at the established grade.
Not long after this matter was settled,
a communication from Mayor Newman
was opened in which headYocated, now
that the free delivery was established,
that the Board of Council take action
towards the obliteration of the localities
in this clay, Pamrapo, Bayonne, etc. To
that end he suggested the passage OF a
resolution requesting the railroad com-
pany TO change the name of several sta
tions in the city to conform to the
streets upon or lei which they are
located; he had seen Mr. Baldwin. of the
railroad company, ne wrote, and that
gentleman had assured him that when
the matter was properly presented to the
authorities of the Central, they would
comply. Having previously sat down SO
heavily upon the company the Council
finally some one offered a resolution re-
ferring the matter to the Committee on
Police and Fire Department for the prep
aration of a resolution. This committee
reported one later in accordance with
the Mayors recommendation, and it was

Local Boxers in Training-The Fatal st.
Louis Fight.

Louis Fight.
Joe Quirk, of this city, has charge of
the sale of tickets for the fight betwe en-
Jack Carey and Swipes the Newsboy.
Carey has trained down to the required
weight and now takes short runs and
tackles the punching bag to keep himself
in form. He Is confident that he will
thrash Swipes.
Daniel Tierney, of this city, is anxious
to have a confab with Swipes. 1t is whis-
pered that Tierney is anxious to give the
pugilist another engagement.
Chappie Moran. during his training for
his fight with the Harlem Spider, has dis
covered that he is an expert at skipping
the rope. After the fight he is ready to
make a match with the skipping rope.
Cal Mccarthy will take no notice of the
challenge of the st. Paul Kid until that
ambitious youngster posts O forfeit.
Prof. Billy Hart is doing we'll at his
boxing academy.
Smuggling, not science, has been en-
couraged too much of late. The death of
Thomas E. Jackson at st. Louis will tend
to check the smuggling, and make popular
again clever scientific fighting. The fault
lies with the referees, who start in with
the determination to make the fight one
to O finish, and are not satisfied unless
the knock out blow is given. Fouls are
repeatedly overlooked. The reports of the
fight at st Louis indicate that the referee
was directly responsible by permitting
the fight to continue after Ahearn, who
dealt the fatal blow, had frequently
violated the rules.
Jackson had the science, Ahearn the
brute force. The referee was ignorant of
the rules, and it was merely a question
of time when the brute must win. He
finally got in a blow that sent the luckless
jackson against the stake. The plucky
fellow did not fall, but Ahearn rushed up
and drove the beaten mans head violently
against the stake. The blow either frac-
tured the skull or produced conclusion
of the brain and death.

the trial was on in the Circuit Court this
morning.
MI. Bettcher claimed that he was en-
ployed by Architect Broome to do work
for him on the new State House at Tren-
ton, and that Broome owes him a balance
of $3.50 for this work.
Broome admitted that there was a little
more than $500 due Bettcher, and pro
duced offsets TO show that the amount
was no larger.
He said that while he recognized the
claim TO that amount, $500, he had been
unable to pay it because he had not re-
ceived the money due him and appro-
priated by the State for his services. The
ease is vet on.
