NJ. j. Welsh and j. Barry are in trouble
and in prison cells. Both are rough Gus
toners, and, judging from their appearance
yesterday afternoon, much addicted to
waterfront whisky. Barry claims to be a
brick-layer and Welsh railroad man. They
stated that under tho representation of be-
Ing molders they secured transportation TO
this city from the East recently.
Officer Egan Of the Harbor Police took
Barry to the North Harbor Police Station
yesterday afternoon on the suspicion that
he was one OF three men who called at a
clearinghouse on East street, near Com
mercial, about o'clock yesterday morning,
and asked for room. Having no money
the request was refused.
Soon after they left George Buchanan,
an old veteran of the Mexican War, who
rooms in the lodging-house in question. re-
ported to the landlord that his room had
been entered and silver watch and chain
stolen. The officer who took Barry in as
certained that he and another man had
pawned Buchanan's watch for four drinks
at a waterfront saloon.
Barry gave descriptions of his comrades
and on this Sergeant Langford soon after
arrested Welsh at the Oakland Ferry and
turned him over to Officer Hall. When
Welsh was searched at the North HarbOr
Station an upper and lower set Of false
teeth and two pairs of spectacles were
found on him. He was unable to account
for them, his own dental apparatus being in
perfect order.
Barry and Welsh were confronted and
the former accused the latter with the theft
of Buchanan's watch. An officer was sent
after Buchanan to identify the property,
but as Buchanan is greatly crippled and
hardly able to move the two men were
locked up, Welsh for burglary and Barry
for habitual intemperan ce.

Poet Day Knocks the Daylight
Out Of McKlayer Roberts.

Leslie Osman Day is foreman and
master bTick-layer. Besides handling a
trowel he occasionally pushes a pen and
dropping into verse produces such gems
generally on pugilistie topics as "Parsnips,"
"Turnips." "a Beautiful, Bleeding Nose"
ct al. He is also accredited with writing a
society drama entitled ia Polonaise,"
which was to have been produced at q
south of Market street theater Further
more Day is extremely chiyalrous ana from
writing much pugilistie poetry has become
somewhat of an expert in the joyous science
of slogging.
On Tuesday morning Day, who was fore
man of a gang of brick-layers at work on
the new Evans Building, on Fourteenth and
Market streets, demonstrated with one of
his men, William Roberts, who, in the in
tervals of waiting for more mort" amused
himself by squirting water out of big
garden syringe over an elderly lady Just re-
turning from market with big basketful
of provisions. Roberts retorted in very I'M
complimentary terms, and, one word lead
ing TO another, Day invited him to a
combat in the pugilistic ring. Roberts
accepted. Day, who is an Austria
liam, and consequently of spcrtive
nature, offered to bet $50 he could teach
Roberts a lesson in ehivalry aud not to
squirt water over old ladies. Roberts and
MS IIlelluS JulHpeu at Tue OHST, Tie money
was put up. and both men went into active
training fer the next few hours.
AT o'clock in the evening the men met
in ring pitched on the roof of a building
close to Fourteenth and Market streets.
1t was unique affair. Four skylights are
IN the rOOf-One Mt each corner. To the
inner corner of each skylight stakes were
nailed, and from these stakes stout ropes
stretched, thus forming the arena.
Day entered the ring at about 100 pounds,
and Roberts at 200. Gloves were dispensed
with, though all the other ceremoniais of
regular ring fight were observed When
time was called, Day slipped on the roof,
and halt was ordered until both men had
taken of their shoes. The fight then CON-
menced with both combatants in their
stocking feet. 1t proved all One-sided.
Day just punched Roberts whenever he
pleased, and twice sent him flying out of
the ring on to one of the skylightS, only the
grating preventing the unlucky Roberts
from taking header down some fifty feet.
Roberts recovered somewhat, and got in
once pretty we'll on Day 5 neck and shoulder,
who retaliated by knocking him down
heavily.
In the eighth round Day informed Roberts
that sit was now all night with him." and
landing twice heavily on Roberts neck,
Knocked him cut. Roberts was very badly
battered. and will probably not squirt any
more water on old ladies with market
baskets, not at least while Day is around.
Day, after gathering up the stakes, cele-
brated his victory IN an appropriate man
ner. lie showed no marks OF the fight.
His friends among the brick-layers won sew
eral weeks wages on his victory.
Day IS now writing an eight-round
tragedy, to be entitled, Squirt! squirt
with care" etc.

mand an Eight-Hour Day.

The members of the Machinists' Union
are suffering severely on account of the
molders strike, which has caused majority
of them to be thrown out of employment.
This, however, is not their only cause for
complaint.
On March 1st the machinists employed in
the Union Iron Works about 25O) were
notified that their wages would be reduced
% cents day. They accepted the reduc-
ton, and two weeks ago were notified to
prepare for another cut on the 1st Of April.
The second cut, like its predecessor, was
also reduction Of % cents per day, and
outwardly, at least, it was accepted with
meekness by the men, who are now work
ing for 50 cents a day less than they re-
ceived before the strike began.
The union is not at present in a condition
to fight the employers; but there are men,
bers who say that the action of the Unisp
Iron Works in cutting wages at the end Of
a hard winter will never be forgotten.
Notwithstanding the unions straitened
circumstances, it donated $500 to the strik-
ers at last nights meeting and promised to
give them more if they need more.

According to the North British Daily Mail
OF that city, the cantata lmpresses one rs

diOuss themes will probably stand I'm the
