BumptfOus Sergeant Hopkins En-
haDces the Interest of a Street Row.
Just as the night squad of the First Pre-
cipct police were going out on duty last
night a fight started at the corner of Van
Worst and York streets. Sergeant Duffy
and four policemen hurried to the rescue
and found a man lying on the sidewalk APP
Thomas Fitzpatrick, of No. 252 Van Worst
street, who was said to have assaulted the
PROSTATE man, while the policemen carried
the victim to the station house.
A crowd collected near the station house
and few entered to ascertain the cause OF
the trouble. Alderman Andrew 7. Witter
was among those to enter. Sergeant james
Hopkins was behind the desk. Thinking a
man had been killed, he became excited.
ssCleaF this ROOM" he shouted.
Half a dozen policemen ordered the sight
seers out, but one after another they passed
Alderman Witter and allowed him to re-
main.
"Put that man out" shouted Hopkins.
He's an alderman" replied some one.
"I'don't care what he is; | want him put
OUT retorted the sergeant.
The alderman protested, but he was bust
led out just the same.
1t was made known a little later that
Hopkins and the alderman are not on the
best of terms. The occurrence was brought

instructed Hopkins, it is said, in future to
allow city officials to remain in the station
house if they desire.
During the excitement caused by the
ejectment of the alderman the injured man
recovered consciousness. He described him
self as Richard Purcell, of No. 261 Ocean
avenue. Fitzpatrick struck him, he said,
without cause. The blow knocked him down.
HIS head struck the curb and he became I'M
conscious.
Fitzpatrick was held by Justice Potts this
morning for a hearing this morning.

CLERK. BGUTON'S Shoes
He Will Fill Them as a Hold
Over for Some Time Yet
Queer Tangle.

There are a lumber of Republican
office seekers who are apparently very
much disturbed over what George L.
Bouton will do about the clerkship of
the Street and Water Board 1t may
be news to some of the dozen men who
want the place that Martin Finck, clerk
OF the Board of Finance, is slated for
it in the event of Mr.. Bouton's retire
ment. In case of Mr.. Finck's transfer,
it is understood, Frank T.. Lockwood,
recently an Assembly candidate on the
Republican ticket, will become Clerk of
the Finance Board.
Mr.. Bouton's term of office expired
yesterday. Three weeks ago he notified
the Street and Water Commissioners
that if they desired to appoint somebody
from all quest after reelection. One
after another the Commissioners declar-
ed they wanted him to remain because
Of his admirable conduct of the office.
There was one thing that worried them,
however. Commissioners Hooker and
Patterson will be candidates for r%e-elec-
ton in the spring. 1t was feared by
them that the reelection of Mr.. Bouton
would impair their chances of renomina-
ton, as sore-head Republicans have
been complaining of the Board Keeping
Democrats in office while party workers
We're out in the cold. Mr.. Bouton was
finally asked if he would consent to re-
main clerk as a hold-over, without being
regularly appointed this year.
1iAS was MI. boQtonS reply YOU
desire me to stay l will do SO if | can
hold over legally. / must insist, how
ever, upon having an opinion on the
subject from Corporation Counsel Blair"
Judge Blair has notified the Commits
sioners hat Mr.. Bouton can hold over,
and they have agreed to make no change
for the present.
1t is said that three of the Commits
sioners had at one time promised to vote
for Mr.. Bouton's removal; but the gem
tlemen deny the assertion. There are
prospects rof a lively row growing out
of the case

Labor Federation Wants to ParaIyze
all the Industries In the

BOSTON. Dec. 2, 1s95.-The question of a
general strike for eight hours on May 1, was
discussed at great length by the delegates to
tie Boston Central Union yesterday. The
radical element introduced a preamble set
ting forth that local strikes for this purpose
had always been failures and that the symp-
toms observable during the American Rail
road Union strike, tended to convey the i'm
preston that a general strike would be favor
ably supported by all the unorganized masses
and not by them alone. but by all the dis
contented millions in the land.
The following resolution, accompanying
the preamble, was finally defeated after a
lively discussion
ssResolved, That the delegate from the
Central Labor Union to the National Con-
vention of the American Federation Of Labor
to be instructed to vote for the declaration
OF a general strike on the coming first Of
May, 1896, or for the securing OF an eight
hour work day, otherwise to oppose all the
measures proposed SO long as they failed to
run on these lil,esV
