AMATEUR ATH LETICS.

Interest Dying Out in the Open Meet
ings.
The interest in amateur athletics is
waning, while wheeling is increasing in
favor. The open meetings of the athletic
clubs have been. with a few exceptions, q
failure financially, and suoh prominent
clubs as the Manhattan. Xavier, Pastime,
Bank Clerks and Cathedral, abandoned
their open meetings this season alter hav-
ing secured dates. III this city only one
club, the Loriilards, have had an open
meeting, but that was a success because
it was a holiday and they had a pic.
mic after the games which. undoubt-
eddy accounts for the large at
tendance. The other clubs have had
successful picnics, but did not attempt to
give open games. The Metropolitan AS
sociation OF the A. A. U. and the National
Cross-Country Association had champion
ship meetings which were not supported,
and left deficiencies to be met. The local
clubs are in fair condition, but to keep
interest alive, they will AVE to offer in
ducements, for the ambitious athletes
Will have few opportunities to compete In
open games. The popularity of wheeling
has been alreaoY shown. All the bicycle
meets have been successful. and over ten
Thousand were present at the last of the
circuit race meetings at Manhattan Field
on saturday. The Amateur Athletic
Union will have to adopt some plan to
arrest the decay of field sports.

They Win Weigh 100 Pounds to the Yard
and Will Be Used IN the Main Line.
Special to the Jersey City Neps.
PHILADELPHIA, July IA, 1s92.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company yesterday
gave an order for 1000 tons OF steel rails,
to weigh 100 pounds to the yard. This
heavy rail will be used OF the main line
of the company.
There is quite a difference in size be-
tween the rail ordered yesterday and the
first steel rail used By the company. When
the first order was given the rail weighed
sixty pounds to the yard. At that time
the motive power of the railroads was
not near as heavy as it is new. but as soon
as the traffic began to grow, greater facil-
lilies for hauling were furnished, aud with
these improvements the locomotives were
made heavier. 1t is now absolutely nee
essary for the rails to be heavier. The

THE POLICE INSTRUCTED.

Hoboken's Old Trouble with the German
steamship Lines.
A stabbing ARRAY. which at first it was
thought would prove a murder, occurred
on the Bremen steamship pier in Hohoken
last night. John Dixon, a foreman on
the dock, was the victim, and John
Brueger, a sub foreman, did the stabbing.
1t appears that the men have not been
on the best of terms for some time. Brue-
ger is a German and SO are most of the
laborers. Dixon is an Englishman, and
is a very powerful man. He was hated as
much rs he was feared.
About seven o'clock last night, Brue-
ger had charge Of several men engaged in
handling baggage. Among them was
John Wood. Dixon said that Brueger
could geeelong with less men and ordered
Wood to handle freight. Wood appealed
TO Brueger and Brueger took his part.
Dixon and Brueger then had some
when Brueger pulled a long sheath
knife from his belt and plunged
it into Dixon's left side a few
inches below the left shoulder,
blade. Dixon fought furiously until LIS
strength gave out, when he tottered up
the dock into River street, where he en-
tered a saloon and fell fainting from loss
of blood.
Policeman Gerken summoned an am
bulance and the wounded man was teEen
to the police station. In the absence Of
City Physician Simon. DR.. Heller was
called. The Doctor said he believed she
hans lung was penetrated and advised
his immediate removal to St Marv's Hos
pital.
DR.. Simon saw the man at the hospital
an hour later and said that the knife had
not DenetrRted The 1unD The
blade had struck a rib. Detectives
Gallagher and Goode. although every
obstacle was thrown in their way, arrest
ed Brueger and Wood and learned the
story Of the atfray as told above. Brueger
was admitted to bail this morning.
