Nick Collins, whom every gallery ''g d.

Tuesday to IN We.
This order was obeyed with such alaC-
rity that Nick and Sam and Mrs. Sam
fell across on" another in packing things
for removal. and II was one of these
collisions that brought about one of the
most brilliant fights to the finish that
the neighborS had ever enjoyed. When
It was all over. there was nothing worth
speaking of left to be packed away.

Nick's voice. says PaZolt. when he adj

ter The following fashion:

to be having it all his own way, then
Nick who Is a very small man, doomed

At the tenth round Sam was winded.
To save himself from defeat, he
grabbed up a hammer and hit Nick a
vicious blow with 1t, near the temple.
Nick dropped just as Policeman stuff
came along. Sam was marched to the
Eldridge street statlon-house. Nick soon
followed In a wagon. He refused. how
ever. to make complaint. Strangest OF
all. when the sergeant asked him his

and this was afterwards partly verified
by an Evening World reporter.

SUGAR SCANDAL REVIVED.
Report that Appraiser Bum Will
Resrganize His Force.
A Number of Employees on the List
for Dismissal.

The tariff on sugar and the revival of
the old scandal in the sugar-room OF
the Appraisers Department are topics
that are uppermost to-day in commercial
and political circles
1t is rumorcd that sweeping changes
Will be made In the sugar room shortly
after the return from his vacation of Wal
ter II. Bum. the United States APP
praiser of this port. Mr.. Bum Is at
his old home, in Cooperstown, y. V, and
will return here on Sept. Is. about which
time the official axe will probably fall
upon the Republican examiners and
samplers who were removed by Presl-
dent Cleveland after the investi-
cation under Secretary Fairchid
In 1859, and then whitewashed
and reinstated by President Harrison.
The sugar scandal was brought about.
1t will be remembered. by the investiga-
ton of j. Aubrey Byrne, Il reporter for
a Boston newspaper, who was after
wards appointed by the Treasury De-
partment to make a searching investi-
CATION of the whole system of sugar
examinations and classifications. Boston
merchants had complained that they

classification and duties on sugar, and
that they were paying $4,000 revenue
more q year than their brethren In
this city and philadelphia, while the
Government was losing 81, 100000 yearly
by the frauds practised here and In
Philadelphia.
MIR. Byrne's investigation was so COM
plete and thorough that II resulted In
the removal of the following officials:
I'd Sharar charge
the United States laboratory and made
all the sugar tests; A. G. Remsen, sugar
examiner; Thomas G. McQuade, exam
liner; William d. Davis examiner: Isaac

Another exciting e, phase of the suga'
hole in the new Tariff law.

The hot question created "a breeze at
the beginning. Commissioner Murphy
was Of n very inquisitivs turn Of mind,
and put commissioners Sheehan and
Kerwin. who vouched for the quality
of the hat offered by the successful bid
der to the task of explaining how much
superior in every way was the Spell
man hat at .$l.o5 than the Knox hat
at $3.50
Finally Commissioner Sheehan waxed
wrothy, and said:
"Knox's hat isn't fit to be worn by Il

Commissioner Murray wouldn't accept

He appeared to be convinced rather
reluctantly. that Messrs. Shechan and
Kerwin were right and voted to award
the contract to Spellman.
