LONDON FRUIT SALE.
By Cable to the United Press.

LONDON, Sept. 20, 1S95.-The quality of
the California fruit brought over by the
steamer New York did not differ from
that of the consignment of last week.
The ulk of the shipment was pears, of
which there were $500 boxes. The prices
realized were about the same as the
prices ruling in New York. This was due
to the unjust complaints mad by the
jobbers against the keeping qualities OF
the fruit, they demanding that the Amer
lean fruit shall keep several days, while,
at the same time, they sell English and
French fruit the day they receive it.
The California fruit agents here claim
that this is unfair. The entire shipments
of fruit thus far have failed to pay, but
the agents are determined to make
changes in the English methods, SO that
the fruit shall be ~retailed as soon as It
arrives. Peaches and plums in small
lots brought good prices. The sample
parcels of grapes comprised in the con- {
as good quality as the native dollhouse
grapes, which are usually eaten here.

A DANGEROUS ASSAULT.
A Woman Arrested for Pushing a
Man Out of a RoOm

John Buckring. twenty years old. and
his wife. Henrietta. twenty-seven years
old, of No. 21 Webster avenue. were
arrested last evening on complaint of
Henry Mahnken. a collector for a brew
cry. on the charge of assault and bat
terry. Mahnken alleges that some time
ago Mrs. Buchring ave him a power
of attorney to collect the rents of the
house No 241 Webster avenue. in which
the defendants reside. This power was
given to Mahnken to secure a debt
which John Buchring incurred while he
was in the liquor business.
Mahnken collected the rents regularly
and applied them to the payment of the
debt. But yesterday when he tried to
put a paddock on the doors of some va
cant apartments Buchring and his wife
objected, and finally pushed Mahnken
out of the house.
Mrs. Buchring now denies that she
gave Mahnken the power of attorney.
The property in question, in the first
place. is the property Of Mrs. Buch-
rings six-yearold child, and was be-
aueathed to it by Mrs. B~uchring's de-
ceased husband. She. it is said. is only
executriX of the will.
Judge Douglass this morning deferred
examination until September 81.

~HARVARD-YALE KICK.
Probably n Football Match VIII BE
Arranged the Coming Season..


BOSTON, Sept. 90, 1S95.-The Advertiser"
says: The latest d~evelopmentin the Harvard
Yale football situation colne from Cam
bridge. On the authority of Graduate
Manager Moore, a meeting of Yale Alumni
was held in New York recently to discuss the
matter As a result Captain Brewer is inre-,
ceipt of a letter, the nature of which Mr..
Moore would not divulge.
The silence of all who are in the secret is OF
itself a suspicious circumstances. The abso-
lutte refusal of Captain Brewer to discuss the
letter or it's contents lends color to the belief
that the document has an important bearing
on the football situation.
Nothing, SO far as is known, has been re-
ceived from Captain Thorne of Yale, nor has
anybody written with authority to act for
him, so far as can be discovered. OF course
Captain Thorne may have put the affair in
the hands of competent Yale graduates and
considering the seriousness with which the
letter has been received this seems to be
very likely.
Harvard men, as a rule, are expecting a
game with Yale and several of them have
expressed their opinion very emphatically
on this subject. Most of the bad feelings
aroused in Cambridge by last years game
have subsidized and nearly all the students
want to see the usual game.
