With no Oue Hurt

Yesterday afternoon there occurred q
lively little scene in front OF the city
building which for moment looked Ike
some one was going to be killed bat the
arm which was intended to do the exc
cution failed 10 work.
It seems that some of the celored men
who have bean working on the fire de-
Par,ment have been having things in a
peculiar state for some time past, 50
much 50. that Que or two of them have
been released from duty for insaberdina-
ton. Frank Gardenheir was one OF
these. and he was up TO Chief Walden's
Office talking the matter over yesterday
afternoon Ii seems tnat Mr. Buad
Rutherford. the night watchman at the
Tenth street power house, knew some
t-iDg about the affair and in some man
ner- became involved in the trouble. Pre-
two men happened TO run across one an-
otner for some reason Just after Garden
heir came out of Chief walden's office.
They had some dispute which led TO
more violent language. which ended In
Rutherford applying some approbrious
epithet to Gardenheir. This the negro re-
scented. and hastily picked UP a piece Of
brick. hurled it at his adversary wita
all the force ard precision he could sum-
mon. This angered Rutherford to such
an extent that he whipped out a revol-
yer and leyelling il at the colored man,
pulled the trigger. The gun only snap
ped. however, and he made another at
tempt to fire with the same result. Men
who were witnesses TO the encounter
turned away at sight of the revolver
and those who did not. held their breath
in suspense. The revolver had been load
ed long time without having been
fired, and this was the cause of its not
working.
Both men were arrested Immediately
after the trouble and taken TO police
headquarters. where they gave bond.
Chief Walden going the colored mans
bond and Manager Fred Sweet of the
motor line went upon the bond OF Ruth
erford. The trial comes up in police
court this afternoon at O'Clock.
1t was ramored that Rutherford was
so disgusted with his gun that he went
out and purchased one that would work
Immediately. The affair created consid-
eFable stir for awhile. and il may not be
entirely over yet.

How did you happen to get that

Il was named after Judge Andrews of

1t is plain Joe-J-O-E.
But said Judge Joe, ''in an evil mo-
ment 1 ran for the Office of police judge
down at Argonia and was elected. I was
always known as Joe there, bur when

TOBACCO MEN AT WAR.
Cigarette Makers and Plug Manufac-
turers at Odds.

st. Louis, May 9.-It is not at all unlikely
that the fight between the warning cigar
cite makers and the plug tobacco manu-
facturers will be called off at an early date.
In st. LUui there is now four of the lead
ing tobacco manufacturers of Virginia, all
OF whom were entertained at the expense
of Light X Myers and the DrummonG To-
bacco Company. They are John ID. Horse
ley and II. II. Burroughs OF Lynchburg,
Va, and a. $. Buford, p. 7. Conrad and
]. ID. williams of Richmond.
While this delegation is made up OF plug
tobacco manufacturers, it is said they are
here to arrange the basis OF a settlement
to be effected between the tobacco con-
Germs. on the one side is the cigarette
trust, manufacturing plug tobacco, and on
the other S the plug tobacco men making
cigarettes.
The war ha been on ever since the trust
went into the plug tobacco business several
months ago, and only q short time go there
was 4 meeting Of bacconsts in this City
at which it was minated that both sides
had enough OF the fight and ga ch was willing
to quit if some means could bc found TO do so
gracefully. The local manufacturers, who
make about onc-third of the plug outpu IF
this country, claim the visit of the Viz
ginians has no significance, and any effort
to see the visitors met with a reply that the
reply that the gentlemen were not in their
rooms.

DR.. Lyman Abbot, the we'll known Brook
lyn divine, is quoted in an interview con-
cerning Sunday reCreations as follows: Il
should think it very good plan for city
churches to provide storage room for bicycles
on Sunday just the same as country churches
provide sheds for horses, if the churches are
so situated as to make it reasonable to ex-
pect that wheelmen will attend church and
desire such accommodations. A bicycle is
simply kind of vehicle, q met hod of getting
from one place to another. 1t is morally
neither better nor worse than any oth er kind
of vehicle. There is something much better
to do than to take Sunday for excursions,
whether IN cars, steamboats,, carriages or
other vehicles. If by Sunday bicycling Is
meant Sunday excursions ON bicycles, dis
approve oft, because the day can be better
spent than in excursions. II by Sunday
bicycling is meant using the bicycle to go
where otherwise one might go legitimately
in the enjoyment of q quiet but respectful
Sunday, see no more objection to using it
for that purpose than to using any other
means of transportation"

RYAN BESTED DUSFEE.
Terrific Work by the Former in the
Sixth Round.

Buffalo, y. Y, May 19.-In the Exposition
building at the Buffalo Driving Park last
night the two middIeweights, Tommy Ryan
and Joe Dunfce, met in n wenty-round
glove contest before the Empire Athletic
Club. Ryan was clearly the superior of his
j clever knockout.
The men were i'll splendid condition. Ryan
weighed mat li1 pounds and Dunfee at l51.
Briefly told. the fight was as follows:
Ryan was shifty Oh his feet. while DuDfee
fought rather sturiiIy. The first three
rounds furnished an excellent exhibition of
sparring. Then Ryan began to land re-
peatedly upon Dunfee's neck and on the
stomd ch. while Dunfce played in vain for j
hook blow.
Dunfecs leads were hesitating and weak.
One of Ryan's savage punches tore Dun
fees ear, which bled freely. In the sixth
round Ryan Ia ndcd a series of strong short
arm blows, and got away, avoiding
clinch. Then he got Dunfee in the corner
and struck him a blow which dazed him.
When the referee separated them Dunfee
left his guards open and Ryan knocked him
down. He came up, but again stood open,
ami Ryan sent him to the floor with a
shower OF blows. He came up and grappled
with Ryan. who broke away and upper
cut him. They clinchcd again, and as the
referee pushed Dunfce away be fell on his
back and could not rise.

The boys had been living in little cabin
In tile dense forest on the hills, and SUBJ
sisted principally upon pilfcrinS through
out the ncighborhool. Innumerable cases
of highway robbery have recently been re-
ported to the police as having been COM
mitted upon the public roads passing over
the hills and these crimes are supposed TO
have been the work of these boys.
Only a few nights go two farmers were
held up by hirhwaymen disguised in female
attire, but succeeded in making their cs-
cape after a thrilling encounter.
Officer Umstcd, learning of these depreda-
tions. made tour through the haunts OF
the outlaws ana succeeded III iocdllnS tutis

found a quantity of stolen goods about the
shanty. including large milk can OF tobac-
co, cigars, candy. etc, which has since
been identified as the property of Emmanuel

yesterday afternoon, officially withdrew
that team from the list of members thus
leaving a vacancy. This vacancy will he
