THE FIGHT THAT DID NOT COME
 OEF

There was an air of suppressed ex- citement shortly before midnight last night in the vicinity of the green. A carload of people came up from the Rock and on the way they had had a difference of opinion and consequently a "mixup." But the fight had not been to finish, and so everybody expected to see a genuine scrap when the end of the run was reached. One of the principals, however, managed to get off at the Congress avenue curve and the presence of an officer led the other one to be rather subdued. He started down Chapel toward State street, vowing vengeance as soon as he could find the other fellow. A crowd of retainers fol- lowed in his wake, muttering maudlin curses.
 The crowd soon thlnned down to the man looking for trouble and messen- ger boy, but at Orange street the pTin- cipals met. The combat, however, was adjourned to a nearby saloon, where their difference was liquidated.

Looking-Glass Fiend.

The man behind the counter in the
down town cigar store, says the New
York Sun, was filling up the blank
spaces on the shelving with packages Of
cigarettes when tall, thin fellow came
n and asked permission to look at the
directory. After opening and closing
the directory the thin young manstepped
in front of the big pier mirror and ad-
mired himself. Walking closer to the
glass he adjusted his red necktie, then
stood sideways and smoothed down
three stray hairs that hung over his left
ear. Then he produced handkerchief
and wiped speck of dust from his coat
sleeve, After smoothing his mustache
he stood erect, turned his back toward
the mirror, glanced over his shoulder,
fixed his hat to the best advantage, and
walked out I'VE have over fifty of
those fellows in here every day." re

spend five minutes before that mirror;
but they don't spend anything else

HAVEMEYER TRIAL,
The Government Rests Its Case
Against the Sugar King.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Gov
ernment rested its case against Henry
O. Havemeyer. the President of the
American Sugar Refining Company.
shortly after the noon recess to-day
Thereupon Mr. Johnson of Philadel-
phia, the leading counsel for the de
fense, moved that the Judge instruct
the jury to find the defendant not
guilty on six grounds-First. that the
questions as to the local and State con-
tributions of the case was beyond the
jurisdiction of the Senate Committee
and impertinent; second, that it was
not part of Mr. Havemeyers duty to
examine records for the purpose of an
SWering the questions that he could not
answer from memory; third, that when
books or records are demanded, such
books or records are evidence; fourth,
that the question put to the witness
was too broad, covering irrelevant
matters; fifth. that if the witness
was to be held recusant it was the
duty Of the committee to warn him
that the question was a committee, not
an individual question; and sixth, that
the indictment did not disclose cause
of action.
District Attorney Davis will reply to
the motion tomorrow.
