HURT IN A FIGHT.
Human Bfutes Who Might Hayt
Been in Better business.

Been in Better Business.
Two boys, scholars of No. 3 school, got
into an argument at the noon hour today.
They had hot words and attracted a crowd,
among which were several men. These
urged the boys to fight. A ring was formed
in the center of the street in front of st.
Marks Church, and they went at each
other. George Chauncey, one of the fight
ers, had the worst of it from the start. His
opponent, Ed McCue, knocked him down
several times. As soon as he was down the
men would call time and make McCue give
him a chance to get to his feet.
After the boys had fought three or four
rounds Chauncey fell and did not respond to
the call of time. Instead he lay motionless,
with his head upon the car track. The spec
tators became alarmed. They picked him
up, and taking his coat off, and making a
pillow of it, they laid him near the side
walk. They worked over him for some
time, but he didn't seem to be able to move.
He lay there with heaving chest and twitch-
ing eyelids, and at last, despairing of bring
ing him around, they placed him on a wagon
and carried him to his home, which is at
Monmouth and York streets.

On Sunday afternoon Comrades Fitzger-
aid, Lane, Guilfoyle, Goodwin, Pierce and
Sanborn of Security Council, No. 119, G. B.
L. met the members of st. Johns Catholic
Club at their rooms ON the new Boulevard,
with a view of forming a council of the
Catholic Benevolent Legion in st. Johns
parish. Father Ter Woert looks with favor
upon the movement, and the organization of
a vigorous council of this excellent order
is among easy probabilities.
Addresses were made by Comrades Thos.
F. Fitzgerald and Johu Guilfoyle setting
forth the character and object of the Catho-
lie Benevolent Legion, the cost of member
ship and the necessity of insurance. The re-
suit OF the meeting was very encouraging, a
gOodlp number of the members of the st.
Johns Gu giving their names as prospec-
tive comrades of the Legion.
Another meeting will be held next Tues
day evening at eight o'clock, in Columbia
Hall, Tonnele avenue, for the purpose OF
taking the names of all those wishing to be-
come charter members of the new council.

THE POsTOFFIOE SCRAMBLE. :
Special to the Jerseu Citu Nems.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a, 1S94-The Jersey
City postmastership is still in midair, like
Mahomet's coffin. Mr.. Fielder is still for
Robert S. Jordan. and last night he had a
conference with Senator Smith, in which he
very plainly stated that he would demand a
specific answer from the Postmaster-Genera
tomorrow, and he added that if that official
decided against Mr.. Jordan, he {Fielder)
would take the case direct to the President.
Mr.. Fielder is determined to nave Mr..
Jordan appointed if such a thing is pos
sible.
Additional letters were received today
from Senator Mcpherson. He says that he
is improving very slowly. In a letter to
Senator Smith he expresses his regret that
he did not go to Europe last July and return
in October, in time to vote on the silver re-
peal bill. He thinks that if he had done this
he would "a saved himself a long spell of
illness.
While he is absent little will be done in the
matter of appointments.

DETECTIVES IN IT.

Seems to BE a Real Nice Gambling
Den. and in HobolKen, Too.
Over the saloon on the southwest corner OF
Hudson and First streets, Hoboken, operated
by Joseph Huber, there is a gambling house,
in which is in full blast every afternoon and
evening. Who is its manager could not be
ascertained. 1t is broadly asserted that
several of the detectives appointed by Mayor
Pagan last spring to suppress vice, are visi-
tors at the den. The proprietor of the sa-
loon told The NEWS reporter that the game
is absolutely ''safe," as the detectives are in
it themselves, at least ONE of them.
There is no doubt that the game exists,
The rooms are on the second floor, over the
saloon, and they are fully equipped for faro,
roulette and sweat.
According to Huber the men are an or
derby set, and he says they "don't drink
holdings but beef tea and lemonade"
This would make it appear, perhaps, that
o real nice element attends the game.
Huber, when asked if the game is well at
tended, shrugged his shoulders and laughed,
German fashion.

Al ON HOME Rule

Patrick Murray, twenty years DID,. was
arrested by Detective O'Neill yesterday for
acting in a crazy manner on West Side ave
nue.. He was arraigned in the Third Grim
inal Court. When the Judge asked him
where he belonged he said T~ipperary. When
arrested he was terroring the passers-by with
a big club. O'Neill asked him what he was
doing that for. "Home Rule" answered
Patrick, as he picked up a brick and fired it
at the detective.
This morning when the court officer went
to bring him from his cell he found that he
had Invested himself of most of his clothes.
They had hard work making him don them.
When they got him out of the cell he insist

which has the liberty of the place. He was
committed to the County Jail for thirty
days, and vii be examined as to his sanity.
