The Sluggers Receive An Ovation Inspector
Called 1t Brutal-But 1t Was No
Violation Of the Law.

New York, June 10 The first to ar
rive in the magistrates court this
morning was the Maher party. The
crowds on the streets greeted Maher
with cheers. Soon after Sharkey and
his friends appeared They received a
reception similar to that of Maher
The case being called Magistrate Cor
nell invited Inspector Mclaughlin to
tell him all about the case. The in
spector said he believed the law was
violated by the men last night. There
was slugging and knocking down and
he believed it his duty to stop them.
The magistrate interjected that a
good many things happen at a per-
formance of that kind that would not
look we'll at O'clock tea.
The inspector insisted that there was
slugglng, brutal pounding, and knock
ing down. "If that did not constitute
a prizefight," he said 81 do not know
what does"
The magistrate stated be had read an
account of the fight and, while he be-
lieved the inspector was perfectly right
in separating and arrestlng the men,
he did not think they could strictly be
held for taking part in prizefight.
Here Magistrate Cornell said to the
inspector 81 think you did right In
asmuch as the men were disorderly,
but you must understand they received
much encouragement. The public had
apparently expressed great interest in
what they we're about to do. They
were much interested themselves.

heads. On that ground the arrest was
warranted if they acted disOrderly.

HOW ABOUT THOSE TANKs9

Receiver Burbage Summoned to Answer for
Violation Of an Ordinance.
Under instructions from the mayor
Assistant Marshal Levison yesterday
summoned Receiver W. E. Burbage,
of the Light and Water company, to
appear in police court this morning
to show cause why he should not be
fined for failing to observe the ordin-
ance of the city council requiring all
reservoirs, tanks, ETC., in the city to
be covered.
The ordinance was passed two
months ago, and was the result of the
discovery of dead pigeons and other
deleterious substances in the reSer-
voir on the water tower. No move
ment has been made by the company
to obey the ordinance, and THE TIMES
called attention TO the omission in
Wednesdays issue. Inquiry was made
by the officials with the above result.
The nature of the plea which Re-
ceiver Burbage will make to Mayor
Johnson is not known. The ordinance
provides punishment for its viola
tion of not more than 5000 fine or 80
days imprisonment.
AS the Light and Water company is
now in the hands of the United States
court, and as Receiver Burbage is the
officer of that court, it is believed that
any attempt on the part of the city to
enforce the ordinance against them
will bring forth an injunction from
Judge Speer. At any rate the city au-
thorities will use every means to COM
pei the covering of the reservoirs.

Every woman who becomes a mother is

Said Absolutely Nothing.

There are many stories of children
speaking articulately at an early age, but
the following which we translate from a
French journal would seem to indicate
that the power of comprehension and
speech may under certain circumstances
be developed in a child and be unused and
its presence unsupported. A child Of
wealthy parents, a baby girl of between 8
and 10 months of age, was attacked by
malignant diphtheria. A consultation of
physicians was held, and the most emf
nent specialist in Paris having examined
the little sufferer carefully, turned to the
father and said, I'M. X, am grieved to
tell you that this is a case where science
can do absolutely nothing" He repeated
the words absolutely nothing" with con-
viction, and the child, too opened it's eyes
and, looking at its father, said-absolute-
ly nothingl
The story is thoroughly well authenti-
Gated Fortunately the child recovered and
learned to talk in the usual way and at
the usual time, All those present agree
that the sick child at the time referred to-
being then under 10 months of age, said
absolutely nothing. Hartford Courant.
