A sTABBING AFFRAY.
In Alley G. Early Yesterday Morning-A
Man Badly Hurt.


Alley c. again dishes up a sensation
in which a knife, colored man and a
white man figured.
Early yesterday morning crowd OF
young men, who were evidently on lark,
CHANGED to get into the alley and the
house, No. 1915. was visited The men soon
left, only to walk into trouble.
In less time than it takes to tell it, it is
alleged that Charles Wheeler, colored, a
piano player stabbed William Burns, of
the Eighth ward. as he was about TO get
into a buggy. 1t was a terrific blow, as the
knife cut through two coats, vest and
two shirts, penetrating the body Of Burns
on his left side. one inch above the stom-
ach and near his eighth rib. The crowd
which was together in the alley immedi-
ately took charge of Wheeler, who was
afterwards arrested by officer Alex Gard
ner and locked up in the city lookup.
The injured man was taken to the office of
DR.. Ridgway, on North Market street
and cared for, after which he was re-
moved to his home.
The young men who participated
in the alteration are very close-mouthed,
and absolutely refuse to talk. At pre-
liminary hearing yesterday Justice D. u.
Phillips committed Wheeler to the county
Jail for a hearing next Saturday.
An inquiry as to the probable recovery
of the young man revealed the fact that
he is not seriously cut.

the comedy created a favorable impress

are decidedly suggestive, and some Of

A VICTORY FOR FISHERMEN.
JUSTICE CLEMENT DECIDES AGAINST
sPORTsMENS CLUBS IN REGARD TO
THE NIsSEOUOGUE RIVER

The bitter contest between the sportsmen's CLUBS
Of Long Island and the fishermen came up before
Justice Clement in the Supreme Court yesterday,
and the result was decisive victory for the fish
ermen The form in which the case came up was
a writ Of habeas corpus sued out by Edmund
Field against William H. Skidmore and George C.
Hendrickson. Field backed by the fishermen
of Smithtown and the neghboring country. The
Judge decided In Fields favor and ordered his re-
lease from custody.
This decision involves the right to fish in the
mouth Of the Nissequogue River. Field was ar
rested on May %, 1896. by Skdmore, constable on
a warrant issued. by Justice Of the Peace Hen
Erickson. He was charged with having fshed for
shad In the Nissequogue on May Is. Field con-
tended that ne had right to do so. under an or
dinance passed in 1895 by the Suffolk County Board
of Supervisors permitting fishing for shad In that
river below a point known as Hogs Leg. between
May i and June Is In each year. The sportsmen
have contended that this ordinance was contrary
TO the Game and Fish law.
Justice Clement says in his opinion that under
the laws of 1892 the Supervisors OF Suffolk County
had the power to regulate salt water fishing. and
that no amendments to the Game and Fish law
Of the State affected that right. Therefore the
ordinance Of the Supervisors. which was passed a
few days prior to June T. 1885. the date when the
new Game law was enacted. Is valid and legal
The contention the trial that the water in
the NisseQuogue River is not SALT and that hence
power to make regulations regarding salt water
fishing. did not apply in this instance.
Justice Clement, however does not decide the
He does say that the testimony Is uniform to the
effect that the water Ii at least brackish. and he
fnds that the Supervisors have right within rea-
son. TO establish point below which fishing shall
hc Dcrmtted.
