A DISASTROUS BATTLE.
What III Advised Pleasantly May
 Sometimes Occasion.

There was tribulation galore yester- day morning at the Depot hotel kept by c. o. Chapmen, at the Santa Fe de- pot. The tale as told is as follows:
 Chapman, the proprietor of the house. felt in facetious mood That $ mainly what caused the trouble. He was sprinkling the street and in pleas antry dashed few drops over pass ing bicyclist, whose name is unknown, but who figures as the star performer. He wheeled and, dismounting, made objection in well pointed terms. Chap man hit him with the nozzle of the hosepipe. The mysterious stranger then sailed in. Chap. is short indi- vidual, nearly as tall when lying down as he is when standing up. He was promptly knocked down when the cyclist sat upon him, punching him once in while for pleasantly and bobbing up and down on the bay win dow that stood prominently in the air Chapman's grunts and groans brought Lew Collins from his Tempe stage to the rescue. He pulled the man off, when Chapman disappeared into the house, only to reappear again with a huge revolver, with which he made good headway towards the stranger. Lew again came to the scratch and wrestling the pistol away he threw it behind him. He didn't notice where he threw the pistol and perhaps did not particularly care, but the weapon went sailing through a front plate glass window, inflicting about $25 worth of additional damage upon Chap man.
 Then the stranger took to his wheel and vanished and Chapman bottled up his wrath long enough to go up to Wall street and swear out a warrant against John Doe for battery But the stranger has not beer found and probably will not be.

Somethins of j. NAange.

A French paper vouches for this dia- logue, which took place in a French assize court, as being literally true:
 Why" asked the judge of a man who had been caught stealing provisions, ''did you attempt to rob this poor baker?"
 Ut was hunger that forced me to it, g answered the man. ''When the forest wolf is hunted from the woods by starvation, he takes his prey where he can seize it"
 Hush" thundered the court, rapping on the desk. "He does nothing of the sort. He endures his ills, repents, and becomes an honest man!"

These sharp, raw, capricious days OF
February are blamed for much sickness
that is simply the direct result of nervous
weakness.
Perfect health will keep one above any
depressing influence from the weather.
Pure, richer blood and better fed nervous
tissues will make people feel well even in
February.
During his many years of hard and won
derful work Prof. Edward E. Phelps, Dart
mouths great professor, had in mind the
thousands who were weak and run down.
His study of the many cases of nervous
prostration, neuralgia, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia and debility led him to that most
marvellous discovery OF the century, Paine's
celery compound.
In every city, as well as the smaller vii
lagos scattered through this country, are
men and women who for years have relied
upon Paine's celery compound whenever
they found themselves weak and out of

The Ordinance Keeping Them
Down to Ten Feet De.
clared Invalid.
CAN CLIMB as THEY PLEASE.
Judge Seawell's Decision in Sign Com
pany's Suit Settles an Inter.
esting Point.

In rendering judgme ent for the plaintiff
in the suit of the California Adsigns Com
pany against the Fire WarJens Judge
Seawell has declared invalid the ordinance
of the Supervisors making it a misde-
meanor for any one TO erect a fence over
ten feet high, or to erect any signs more
than ten feet above the street level.
The Adsigns Company had bought over
100 locations and had secured some large
| advertising contracts, when the Fire War
dens threatened to tear dcwn the fences.
The company sued for an order restrain
ing them from carrying out their inten-
tions ana Judge Seawall has granted the
order.
In his opinion he says:
The proceeding is not an attempt to restrain
the enforcement of q municipal order for the
order uoes not direct the defendants to take
down or remove the fences or other structures
Even if 1t did so direct, if the Board of Super
visors had no power to pass it ana It's enforce
ment would occasion irreparable injury, the
ordinance would afford no justification to the
defendants.
1t is difficult upon the face of the ordinance,
to determine what was the mischief to remedy
which 1t was passed. 1t does not in terms de-
clare that fence or structure OF the character
described a nuisance. There is nothing in the
title or the body of the ordinance about fire or
which charges the defendants with any duty
in reference to its enforcement. There is
nothing in the language 10 indicate that it
was intended as a fire ordinance; neither is
there anything to indicate that the object of
the ordinance was to insure the safety OF per-
sons passing along the streets, for the penalty
is incurred no matter how strong the fences
and signboards may be.
The otfense created by the ordinance consists
not In the erection or maintenance of fences or
structures more than ten feet in height, but
solely in the placing of sign or advertisement
thereon. Ordinances of municipal corpora
ton, If not reasonable, are invalid. The power
vested in municipal corporations TO prevent
and suppress nuisances does not authorize it
to declare particular of property nuis-
ance unless such use comes within the common
law or statutory definition OF q nuisance. 1t
does not appear that the signs or advertise
ments OF plaintiff are injurious 10 health, or in
decent or offensive TO the senses, an Oh
struction to the free use OF property OF others.
The owner OF real property has a right to use
it as ne pleases, SO long as he does not injure
another. Subject to this qualification, he has
the right to erect upon his land such struc-
lures as he may deem proper.
l think this is an unreasonable interference
with the rights of private property, and that
the ordinance Is therefore void.

lowing from Mrs. Porter of New York City
tell how this great medicine has kept them

NEW York, Jan. 8, 1885,
MEssRs. WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Dear Sirs: For several years 1 have used
your Paine's celery comp pound whenever
found myself running down in health.
During that time l have recommended it
frequently to my friends, and l know of
many persons who have been much bene-
fitted by it. l am never without bottle of
it in the house, and take great pleasure in
expressing to you my belief that it does a
great work for humanity.

Mrs. Porter's experience is like thou
sands of others. Paine's celery compound

nerves and blood and regulated their
functions. Try it and be convinced of its

ARCHITECTS At PEACE,
The Harbor Commissioners Set
tied the Whole Controversy
at Once.
One-Half Per Cent Will Go to Browns
Executors and Swayne Takes the
Balance.

The difficulty over the working plans for
the new ferry depot has been overcome,
and Architect Swayne is now ready to pro-
ceed with the work.
When the late A. Page Brown was archi-
tect for the HarboT Commissioners the
working plans for the building were pre-
pared in his office, but they had not, as a
whole, been examined and passed upon by
him. When SWayne examined the draw
ings he refused to accept the work which
they entailed and said he would prefer
making drawings of his own. The Com
missioners referred him to the Brown es-
tate, and deadlock ensued. No under
standing could be reached, and again and
again We're Messrs. Colnon, Cole and Chad
bourne (the three Cs, as they are known
on the water 'front.' appealed to.
meeting was finally arranged for yes
terday morning. There were present: ::
Harold Wheeler, attorney for the Brown
estate; Mrs. Browns brother; +. S. STRAIT
ton, attorney for the board; Architect
Swayne and the Commissioners Several
attempts to solve the problem were made
without success. Wheeler, on hehaIf OF
the estate, demanded l per cent OF the
commission, while Swayne refused to give
cent, holding that nearly all the draw
1ngs would have to be remade. Finally
Commissioner Cole, after listening to all
the arguments, said: "Gentlemen, I
think the best thing you can do is to split
the difference. Let the Brown estate. in
consideration OF the work done by the late
A. Page Brown, take half per cent and
let Mr.. Swayne take the remainder Mr..
Swayne is entitled to the bulk of the re-
muneration, because he Will have to super
wise all the work. Now, if an understand
ing on that basis can be reached, then |
think everything will be plain sailing.

CUT HIS THROAT.
Grant Edison Attacks Another Hostier
at the Bay District Track With
d Pocket Knife.

Grant Edison, colored boy working as
hostler at the Bay District Track, used a
knife with serious effec: on Andrew Jack
son Miller, another stable boy, early yes
terday morning. The two were drinking
together and both were under the infu-
ence OF liquor, when they began quarrel
ing at the Jockey Club bar, near the track.
Words led to blows. The two men
clinched without further ado and rolled
over on the floor. In the meantime Edi-
son got pocket-knife out and began to
jab Miller whenever he got an opening.
AS result Miller lies at the Receiving
Hospital with half a dozen cuts, including z
cut seven inches long across the throat,
though the cut was not deep enough to
sever any of the larger arteries.
Edison was arrested by Officer Burk-
holder and charged with assault to COM
nit murder. He declares that he and Mil
Ter are great friends and that he did not
mean to hurt, but that it just happened.

Let us settle the matter at once, and thus
get one hitch out of the way
President Colnon was also OF the opinion
that the differences between the parties
should be settled or else some means would
have to be resorted to in order to break the
deadlock. .'As soon as we get decision
from the Supreme Court" said he, sit will
be absolutely necessary that We be ready
to proceed with the work. If this squabble
over the remuneration re each architect is to
receive is to continue indefinitely, then
some radical step will have to be taken.''
After this expression of opinion, Attor-
ney Wheeler and Mrs. Browns brother
went out into the corridor and held a long
conference. On their return, Mr.. Wheeler
said they were willing to accept Commits
sioner Coles suggestion, and would lower
their demand to one-half per cent. Archi-
tect Swayne was asked If he would agree TO
the proposition, and said he would. Thus
another block TO the building of the much
talked-of depot has been removed, and if
the Supreme Court will only order the
Controller to pay Bateman Bros. check,
everything will be plain sailing,

CLEVELAND III OPPOSITION


Washington, March 1.-THE presi-
dent and his cabinet undoubtedly are
strongly opposed to the present recog-
milton of the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents and to any declaration con-
corning their independence as en-
bodied in the recent congressional
resolutions.
While the president and members of
the cabinet personally feel the sympa-
thy common to all Americans with
those Cubans who are %contending for
self-government. they feel that in thei.
official action they should not depart
from the we'll settled principles which
were followed by former presidents
and secretaries of state during prior
instructions in Cuba.
1t Is understood that the admins
tration does not think the present
stage Of affairs in Cuba justiies any
change in the attitude of the govern
ment. Its function is t act, and not
to express feeling. The only action
now proper Is to continue to hold re-
sponsible for injuries to American citi-
zens the only government which, SO
far as appears, has and maintains au-
thority in Cuba, until some other gov
eminent succeeds, at least temper
arily, in supplanting it.
