and thew were prodded by the off,
Gals at headquarters. They were in
structed to be particularly watchful OF
tba Sbarkey-Maher battle. Now, a
New York policeman has no more no.
,ion If what constitutes brutality than
q bulldog. But he had to draw the line
somewhere in the Sharkey- Maher fight
and so he jumped into the ring when
he saw the seconds dragging the men
apart-the gladiators not having heard
the gong. The contest having assumed
the aspect Of a Bowery scrap the blue
coats promptly stopped it as having
degenerated into brutality and arrested
all hands. Neither man had scratch
or a mark on him and each was as fresh
as when he entered the ring; there had
been a couple Of harmless knock-downs'
but no smuggling" to speak of. The al
fair was exceedingly tame and not to
he compared TO any of the preceding
battles that had not been interfered
with by the police, and the audience
Of sports was disguised.
Next morning the principals and their
abettors were examined before Magis-
rrate Cornell. who promptly released
them on the ground that they had not
INDUCED in a prize fight and had not
violated the Horton law.
This was merely the judges opinion
rs against that Of the police, and as the
Judge was higher in authority, the po-
lice opinion was overruled.
The truth is. both the police and the
Judge were wrong and both were right
The fight from the start was undoubted-
" a prize fight, if ever there was one
the stake being $4,000 and the con-
fessed aim Of the men being to knock
each other out. But, at the same time
the Judge was right in refusing TO make
a distinction between this tame affair,
as far as it had gone, and the other
bloody battles that had occurred and
which the police had not interfered
with; for the police would have been
quite as warranted in stopping the fight
in the first round as they were in stop
ping it in the seventh.
The decision of Magistrate Cornell
leaves the Horton law in statu quo and
the police will be more at loss than
ever in knowing just where TO draw the
line. for. as we have said, New York
policeman has no more notion OF what
constitutes brutality than bulldog.

years have been years of steady pro-

this section of the State from a print

Maxim's Improved Gun.
fLondon Mail. J.

A new machine gun which, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected, will cause more damage
to life and property than any other
quick firing piece hitherto known to
science, was introduced to public notice
and it's constr uction and capabilities ex-
planned by Mr.. Hiram S. Maxim in a
lecture at the Royal United Service Insti-
tuition yesterday. A sample of the gun
was on view In an anteroom Of the insti-
tuition.
1t was pointsd out that this was the
first fully automatic gun above LIZ
inches which had been an unq ualified
success With thissnew terror a gunner
who knows his business can deal out four
nine-Doupd shots in shade under three
seconds without even SO much as taking
his eve off the object to be attended to or
his finger off the trigger. The danger Of
death to the gunner by the explosion OF
a cartridge while the breeoh is open, has
been rendered impossible by the applica-
tion of simple device which prevents
the gun being opened until the charge
has been fired.
This may seem slight matter, but
Mr. Maxim holds that nowadays, when
the frll mental pressure Of the scientist
il being brought to bear on the inveu-
tion of new machines for the rapid an
utilization of aD enemy, the risk of acct
dent TO those who work the complicated
mechanism is found to increase. Hence
tie emphasis laid by the lecturer upon
this feature Of the new gun.

ASSAULTED HIS WIFE.
A Maine Captain Arrested on Serious
Charge at Providence.

Providence. r. l., January 25.-The
Providence police arrested Alvin Webster
on the schooner John Douglass Mon ay
morning by request of L. +. Cooper,
sheriff of Ellsworth, Me.
Webster asserts that his prosecution Is
wholly matter of spite. Last winter
he married Mamie L. Carter, 10 years old
of Sedgwick, Me-, and took her to Greens
Landing on Deer Isle. One Sunday after
Christmas his wife gave birth to child
which lived but few days and within
a week his wife died. Mr.. Garter charged
him with assaulting his wife.
He was adjudgsd probably guilty, and
on the following morning was to be
taken to Ellsworth for commitments in
default of $500 bail. The deputy sheriff
placed him in charge of friend who
lodged him at the Aroadian hotel at
Green's Landing for the night, and
Webster took leg bail, processing to b 8 s.
ton and thence to Providence. He will be
sent to Maine Monday afternoons

The Proposed ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Deering
Victoria, British Colum bia,
January 16, 1897.

To the Editor of the Press:
AS citizen and taxpayer of Deering l
wish to enter my protest against the pro-
posed dismem berment of that city. II
Portland needs any part of Deering it
needs the whole, and any division of it
would work great injustice to the por-
ton not annexed. The proposition of
the petitioners reminds me of the fellow
who asked his friends advice as to how
much of his dogs tail. he should cut off.
His friend advised him to cut ii off
close up to his ears. These petitioners
ask to have set off small amount Of
territory, but when the number of citi-
zens and the amount of taxable property
are taken into consideration, it will be
seen that they propose to cut well up to
the fore shoulder aud practically to des-
troy the life of the dog.
The petitioners are all estima BILE c1t1-
zens, and many of them have long been
Identified with the success and welfare
of Deering, but in this scheme it would
seem that there must be some motive
other than the welfare and hest interests
of that city. When annexation comes, as
/ have no doubt it will in time, let it be
so nade that the northern boundary of
the city of Portland will be washed by
the Presumpscot, the name Of Deering
wiped from the face Of the map and not
left to designate weak siokly munici-
ppraotioe. RUEL SMALL.
