ALMOST A. FIGHT.

Danger at a New Building.
What came near being q fight was
caused by peculiar thing on Salem
avenue yesterday.
Shockey & GLADDEN. are building the
new hotel of e. r. Woodward. corner
Salem avenue and Commerce street
Their foreman, Mr.. Cornelius, put up
sign warning people to the other side of
the street. The masons were at work
on the wall and there was danger of
some one being hurt. This precaution
was taken for what the contractors con-
sidered as public safety.
v. p. Moir, who keeps a grocery at
212 Salem avenue, just west of the
building, took exceptions to this signal
and tore one of them down. Cornelius
nailed it up again. Again Mr.. Moir
came out and was about to tear down
the sign. He was warned to desist, and
hot words ensued. He claimed that the
signs warned people off the street to tho
detriment of his business. Cornelius
still refused to take the sign down, and
Moir lodged his complaint before the
mayor, but the mayor didn't order the
signs down.
