JUSTICE DIXON DIssENTs,
He sides with Justice Collins I'm the
Wanser- HOOH Case.
Especial to The Jersey City News."l

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News"
TRENTON, Oct. 81, 1S97.-Justice Dixon
has filed in the Court of Errors and APP
peals a dissenting opinion in the Wanser-
Huos case, in which he gives his reasons
for believing that the Macarthur election
act should have been declared constitu-
tional. The ground taken by Justice
Dixon is very similar to that in the dis
senting opinion of Justice Collins, which
was filed on Monday.
The language Of the opinion is vigor-
ous.~ Like the opinion Of Justice Collins,
it first proceeds upon the assumption
that the time of holding an election is a
part of the structural government of a
city. 1t then treats of the classification
of cities for purposes of legislation, show
that this classification has frequent
ly been upheld by the courts of the State.
The opinion deals at some length with,
the subject of special legislation. show
what has been considered as special
legislation within the constitutional pro-
hibition.
In conclusion, Justice Dixon says he
is unable to see any ground for declaring
the act unconstitutional. and therefore
votes to reverse the Supreme Court.

NEW JERSEY LIQUOR TRADE.
Report Submitted to the National
C~onYeniion of Liquor Dealers.

At he national convention of the
!! Liquor Dealers Association of the United
| States now in session in Indianapolis.
New jerseys State President August
Koehler, who will be elected, tomorrow,
president of the national association, pre-
sented the report of the New Jersey
| League. and among other things the re-
port said
S%tagnation of business did not spare our
beloved State of New Jersey in the past
year. and many of our friends and
colleagues in the business suffered to
the extent of being compelled in giving
up the struggle. Hotels n saloons that
were considered to be paying investments
are closed in many places, and others
are hardly paying expenses. The spirit
Of discomfort has manifested itself, and
it was hard work to show the trade the
necessity of upholding and maintaining
their organizations.
The report said tina New Jersey has
a roll call of 43 associations, with a mem
bership of 1914 retail liquor dealers. 1t
has beside a number of associated mem
bers who netted an income of 1893 last
year, continuing Mr.. Koehler says:-"We
are having a little trouble regarding the
way of granting licenses in some small
counties Of our State. The judiciary has
reigned supreme, constituting the law re-
garding the granting of licenses ac-
cording to their inclination or to the
satisfaction of the personal friends.
when the liquor dealers in that sec
ton organized themselves they appealed
to the State League. The result Is that
the mode Of granting two dlfferent
licenses. one for a saloon and one for
hotel licenses, will be stopped as the
Werts law under which we are now work
which gives the bearer a right to sell
both beer and liquors.

FOUGHT FOR A GIRL
Two Griffing Iron Workers
Battle for a Maiden's
Smiles Marquis of
QueensburY Rules.
POLICE WITH NO SENTIMENT
They Crawl Through a Hole in the
Fence and Put One Of the
Lovers IN a Cell.

Two iron workers, employed by the
Grifiing Iron Company, fought with bare
knuckles, last night, in the presence of
two dozen of their friends. The fight
occurred in the enclosed lot at Johnston
avenue and Wilton street, which is used
as a baseball ground by the Pacific Ath-
letic Club. The duel-for it was to have
been a fight to the f~inish-was occasioned
by a quarrel over a young lady. Neither
OF the contestants is yet twenty-five years
old. Each is good looking and both love
the same girl. 1t is said that the one
who won last nights battle was to have
her. The fight occurred at midnight,
when all was quiet, and there seemed lit
tie fear of interruption.
1t had been planned at first to have the
duel fought in the rooms of the Pacific
Athletic Club, on Pacific avenue, earlier
in the evening, but just as the principals
were getting ready for the fray word was
received that the police had got wind of
what was going on. The seconds were
for postponing the fight, but the men in
sisted upon settling he matter at once.
The men scattered and met at midnight
at the ball grounds. The two lovers,
Hugh Flynn, of No. 70 Woodward street,
and Patrick King, Of Grand street and
Manning avenue, stripped to the waist
and sailed into each other will a Will.
Scouts were posted at the entrance to
the grounds, but they failed to see Pa
trolman Downs of the C~ommunipaw ave-
nue. station, who, getting wind of the
affair, crept up to the rear fence,
through a hole witnessed the first W
rounds of the. bloody combat
Both men hit hard. They were pretty
evenly matched. Blood was drawn in the
first round. Stripped to the waist, their
AXE bodies covered with blood, the
men, in the dismal light that was re-
f1ected from a n~eighboring electric light,
presented a CHASTITY appearance. They
fought silently, n even the seconds and
on-lookers refrained from talking, 1or
fear Of attracting attention to the
bloody contest.
Patrolman Downs saw enough of the
fight to convince him that it was in vlo-
lation of the law, and then he stole away
and summoned Patrolman Clock, his side
partner. Together they scaled the hign
board fence and descended upon the lit
tie knot of sports. The fighters We're
warned in time and every man in the
Flynn. King had dealt him a heavy
blow in the face just as the officers ar,
rived. which blinded him and rendered
him incapable of making good MS es-
cape. The officers permitted him to dress
and then placed him under arrest: He
was arraigned before Justice Nevin, in
the Second Criminal Court, this morning,
and was held for trial for prize hghting.
THE police are looking for King. 1t is
thought that he has left the city.
