OFF ON A LARK.
Four Young Men Engage in a Fight and
Break n Pane of Glass.

Four Young Men Engage in a Fight and
Break Pane of Glass.
As several peaceable but hungry citizens
were quietly dining in California-market
restaurant last night four young men en-
tered the apartment. That they had looked
upon the wine when it was red, and that
with a too protracted gaze. WAS quite PER
ceptible from their tottering, unsteady steps.
Particularly tipsy was one of the quartet,
who, as he reeled along. fell heavily against
the door, nearly thrusting his elbow through
the glass panel.
Tie proprietor IF this restaurant is a stall
wart individual, with massive chest and
deep, and as he saw his window so nearly
shattered somewhat gruttly warned MS upsy
patron to look out, at the same time with
a gentle push directing him into the right
path. With an expression Of countenance
signifying outraged dignity the young man
resented the seeming insult by squareiy hit
ting the proprietor in his deep, broad chest.
La an instant all was confusion. The lat
ter seized his assailant, who clinched and a
tuSsle eusued. His three companions
sprang to the rescue OF the drunken boy, and
at the same time two walters came TO their
employers assistance. The disciple OF
Bacchus was quickly laid on his back and
the proprietor turned to meet the other
three.
One he seized around the waist and a
Durly waiter proceeded 10 mangl6 MS lace.
Another was attended to by dish-washer,
and the third, more sober than the others,
hastened to secure the first disturber, who,
on regainug bis feet, was about to again en-
ter the melee. But at this mOmenta terrible
crash was heard.
The drunken young man who had begun the
attack resisted his companions righteous eff
forts TO protect him from harm, and in the
struggle that followed both thrust their
heads through the massive pane of glass.
This was too much for the stalwart indivi-
dual who forthwith began to blow police
whistle.
Officer Barry was soon upon the spot but
seeing that the disturbers were respectable
looking young men apparently merely off on
a lark he hesitated about running them
in" The matter was finally adjusted by
their undertaking to pay for the glass.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
John III. Curley, the Tailor, Killed
at Port Costa.

The intelligence was spread around the
city early last evening that ]. II. Curley,
the wel-known merchant tailor at SAC
Market street, had met with a fatal acct
dent at Port Costa on his way to Saera-
mento.
Inquiry proved the report to be true. II
seems that Philip Crimmins and Curley left
here for Sacramento on the 4-o'clock train
in the afternoon, and that was the last
heard until about $50 o'clock, when Mrs.
Curley received telegram from Crimmins
communicating the sad intelligence of her
husbands death and asking what he should
do with the body. Mrs. Curley at once noti-
fed her husbands brother, and he, accom-
panied by an undertaken took the 9-o'clock
train for the scene of the accident.
The deceased was about 40 years of age,
and had been married twice. His first wife,
by whom he had three children, died in
1888, and about year ago he married again.
He resided at II Scott street and owned
quite a large amount of real estate in that
vicinity. For many years he was in bust
ness on Montgomery street, but removed to
SAG Market street in 1887.

CURIOUS COMPLICATIONS.
The Outcome of Dickering Over a Pen
sion Claim.

The Outcome of Dickering Over a PEN
sion Claim.
curious complication has arisen in the
case of G. W. Newcomb. who was arrested
last Monday by Detective Hume for having
assigned his claim for S72 pension to the
firm of Worth & James Of Los Angeles. 1t
appears that the note was not actually as
signed that is Endorsed over to the firm, but
was left in its safe along with Newcomb's
note for $50 as a security. The note for $50
was to draw the extraordinary interest of
5 per cent a month. Becoming alarmed at
Newcomb's delinquency, the firm handed
the note over to the Wells-FargO Express
Company for collection, and it was sent to
this city. Wells, Fargo & Co. could not col
lect it without Newcemb's signature, and he
was sent for. As soon as he saw the note
NewcOmb took it and on pretense walked
off with it. The express company then had
him arrested, and he was afterward trans
ferred over to the Federal authorities.
If Newcomb actually assigned the claim
the United States will have hard work to
get its witnesses, as it is as much crime to
receive as tender an assigned pension claim,
and the firm of Worth 81 James of Los
Angeles and Newcomb are equally liable to
the same law, tho provisions of which are
that violation means 500 fine. If the
claim was not assigned then the firm is
liable for presenting a claim which they

Fish Commissioner Joseph d. Redding in

planting Alaskan waters with salmon as
looking out for the future of great indus
try by taking advantage of the present.
Alaska possesses enormous water courses
that must make excellent breeding grounds
for fish. The country is not infested with
the lawless fisherman yet, as this country is,
so no doubt the fish can thrive there.
LII connection with this subject the Fish
Commissioners report that project is on
foot to propagate the laHd-locked salmon on
this Coast. The first attempt will probably
be made in Lake Tahoe, and considering
that like experiments have been SO uni
fOrmly successful in Eastern States they
feel very confident of the result. The sup

WITHOUT a COUNTRY.
Large Audience Listens to Edwar
Everett Hale

A Large Audience Listens to Edward
Everett Hale.
A large audience assembled In Irving Hall
last night to listen to DR.. Edward Everett
Hale'S reading from his book, THE Man
Without a Country" DR.. Hale was intro
duced by the Rev. DIR. Stebbins, and. in the
course of some Introductory remarks. said
that it was difficult at the present day to
realize the circumstances which had sug-
gested the subject of the book.
Though Nolan the hero was the creature
of his Imagination he had received letters
from people living in all parts of the country
that had known him. Among others, he
had received letter from Mrs. E. +. Nj.
FaehtZ, saying that she was a sister of
Nolan's, and asking for more information
about him. He had answered this
to the effect that he would be pleased TO fur
nish Mrs. Eager For More Facts" with
more information as soon as he obtained 1t.
Later he learned that this answer had pre-
vented his making the acquaintance of two
sisters of a Nolan who was killed in the Oc-
eupation of Texas. There was a reference
in the book to Nolan having brother who
was killed in Texas, and this accounted for
the letter of inquiry. The book had led TO
his being called fprger by one OF the lead
ing papers of the couutrY, but he regarded
it as an ample offset that it had also led to
his being presented with the button of the
Loyal Legion.
DR.. Halr's reading was thoroughly en-
jOYed by the audience, and was only marred
by a slight iudisiinctness which made rather
a strain on the attention of the listeners. At
the end of the reading Dr.. Stebbins eX-
pressed the admiration Of the audience for
the patriotism, Imagination and human ma
tire dIsDlaVed in the book.

Police Judge A., e. L. Morley yesterday
dismissed two cases in which the defendants
were charged with using vulgar language,
and also the case of All Sou, charged with
keeping Chinese gambling place, both Of
lenses being in violation of Ordinance 1887.
The Judges action was based Oil the de-
cision of the Supreme Court rendered by
Justice Ralph G. Harrison in the case OF All
You, that the punishments inflicted by Or
diGance 1857 for violations of OffenSeS also
covered by the statutes are out of all pro-

peace, fixes the fine at SEQ, and for battery,

these cases effects the desired result, the Su-
