Charles Z. Plumb, the first witness for
the defense, said that he was cycling
along the Ferry road with the Bridge
port team. Fitzgerald asked Beardsley
to let him pass and he looked back, but
made no reply. They also tried to pass,
but conld not, because, as it seemed to
him, Beardsley kept in the middle of the
road. They again attempted to pass, but
were unsuccessful. Fitzgerald ran for
ward when near Smiths and touched
Beardsley upon the shoulder, upon which
Beardsley fourished his whip, but he
could not see whether he struck him.
Fitzgerald then slapped his face and
Beardsley fell back into the wagon. He
saw Carney, going toward the wagon,
knocked down by flying wagon seat.
He did not see Carney strike anyone; he
appeared to wish to separate the COM
batants. Plumb waa submitted to Sc
we're cross-examination by Attorney judi
SON and his testimony was not altogether
clear.
| David Leonard said that he was on the
front seat with Fitzgerald aud that they
attempted to pass at the bridge, but
Beardsley prevented him, both then and
elsewhere. His testimony brought out
nothing new, except that his name was
not David Leonard, but Michael Maho-
ney.
i Maurice n. Fitzgerald said that Boards
ley had persistently opposed his progress.
J When he put out his hand to Beardsley's
shoulder and asked him to stop, he was
struck in the mouth with the butt of a
whip, breaking tooth. This partly
stunned him and he really didn't know
just what happened next; Smith came
up and the fight ended. He was also
struck on the foot with a shovel by Cur
Ills. They were intoxicated, but his sto-
4 ry ofthe making up Of the party for a

as brought out by Attorney Judson, was

reluctance. He unsuccessfully tried to
evade some questions.

While other improvements are going
on about the village, the cemetery should
not be neglected. 1t has been moved, it
is true, but the grass was not raked off
and the appearance of the cemetery is
far from what it should be. The fence
is also in poor condition and is hardly
worth repairing; a new fence should be
built, this Fall. The cost of these inn
provements would not be great and local
pride should see that they are at once
carried out. And here we wish to sug-
gest that a great change for the better
might be made in the cemetery if, after
these improvements are finished, fund
be established for the purpose of gravel
ling the walks and keeping the edges of
the turf square and neat. In the future,
would it not be we'll to employ man to
cut the grass on the cemetery grounds
with a lawn mower. The two acres
would have to be moved only three or
four times month and the cost would
not be an insuperable obstacle, while the
result would be appreciated by all.

HUNTINGTON.

For % years, the descendants of judi
son c. Shelton have held family reun-
ion. This family consisted of IL child
rem, one dying when small. The first re-
union was held at the residence of Will
liam buckingham in 1855 and they have
been continued every year with perhaps
one exception. Time has brought many
changes, the heads of the family having
been called to their rest, but it is a re-
markable fact that the life of every child
was spared until about eight years ago,
when the family circle was again broken.
One, Minor Shelton, moved West, to Ne
braska and made a permanent home.
With this exception, every one has set
tied within the State.

means as famOusly crooked as those of
Boston, but hardly principal street in
the city extends for a mile in a perfectly
straight line. Connecticut avenue will
do so, however and every measurement
and line will be as mathematically exact
as the instruments of surveyors can
make them.
Warrington brothers have sold lot on

he had been kicked bgt Beardsiey while

a complaint to Grand Juror Fairchild
that Beardsley had assaulted him.
Charles E. Curtis was recalled to say
that he did not strike Fitzgerald or any

Minor Smith, recalled, said that Char

1t was about 80 when Attorney judi
son began the argument for the prosecu-

called for the severest penalty of the law.
Attorney Curtis held that honors were
easy and that, even if found guilty, a
light fine should be imposed upon the
prisoners.
Attorney Judson remarked that AS Ma

in the fracas, the State would not press
the case against him and he was dis

Fitzgerald and Carney were found
guilty and fined 81 and costs for assault,
$5 and costs for breach of the peace and
$5 and costs for drunkenness, the costs
amounting to $15 or $40. A sentence of

A VERY QUIET NEW YEARS.
The Day Not Observed to Any Great
Eyfant

The Day Not Observed to Any Great
Extent.
The first day of the new year was scarcely
less eventful than any other day of the
year 80 far as cessation from business went.
The public offices and banks were closed,
and some of the principal business houses
we're closed in the afternoon, but most of
the retail houses Kept open all day.
An artillery salute to the new year was
fired in the park extension at 80 O'Clock in
the morning, and occasionally during the
day fire peppers were set off. Last night
the boys burned few barrels in the squares
south Of Liberty street, and there were q
few skyrockets set off, but there was no
general display of fireworks.
The custom of making New Years calls
was more honored in the breach than in the
observance, and neighborly calls would
best express the point to which the formal
New Years calls have dwindled
Those who went out Of town took in the
races at Thunderbolt, and few visited
Tybee; but most people staid at home, and
the murky atmosphere, chilly during the
greater part OF the day, had the effect of
keeping promenaders indoors, SO that the
seats in the park were vacant
The usual New Year salutations of
passing friends was the only reminder that
a new year had been entered upon, and
everybody wrote it 1889, as many will do
to-day
