A FIERCE FIGHT WHICH ENDED
IN A BITING MATCH.

A fierce fight, which ended in bit
ing match, took place Saturday at the
foot of Market street, between Thomas
ENNIS and George Sipple. Both Of the
men had been drinking together earli-
er in the evening, and a dispute arose
over the payment OF BILL which Sip
pie alleged was due him by ENNIS.
Words led to blows, and the combat
ants fought hard and furious.
There were several other men in the
party, and the liquor, which they had
imbibed in during the evening, precipi-
tated the crowd into a general melee.
Some of the fighters upheld ENNIS,
while others went to Sipple.
Both Sipple and ENNIS pulled and

The latter screamed with pain and the
crowd scattered. He was taken to Dan

where his wounds were dressed by one
Of the clerks. Sipple made his escape
but was afterwards captured in a meai

DRAMATIC TREAT Tonight.

AfANaAAA4A 4 ~ 4 MA AO-ANAOulA
The best and greatest dramatic treat
Of the season will be offered the pa.
irons Of the Opera House tonight,
when Daniel FrOhman's company from
the New York Lyceum Theatre, headed
by Howard Gould, win give magnih-
cent presentation of the great success,
1.-The Prisoner of Zenda." This is adj
mitted to be the current gem OF the TO
mantle drama. The novelist construct
ed an unknown kingdom in the heart
Of Europe and peopled it with charac-
ters through whose veins surged the
blood of modern life. Since the days
Of Dumas splendid "AIusketeers," fic-
ton has not furnished a more reckless,
ready and companionable lot Of adven-
turers than Anthony Hope has given in
his pen pictures of the mysterious
Ruritania. 1he dramatist has taken
from and added to the work Of the
novelist. He has constructed a pro-
logue which elaborates and explains
the opening chapters Of the novel. 1t
anticipates the real story of the play
by more than one hundred years, and
gives an interesting fragment from life
In fashionable. England $50 years ago.
The costlim6s and furnishings are cor
rect 'and superb, being the same as'was
used in the original production at the
New York Lyceum Theatre.

ANTI-FUsIoNIsTs
Think It Their Duty to Defeat All
Fusions

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-The state
executive committee Of the middle-of-
the-road Populists met here this after
noon, and, after discussing their fail
ure to be accredited with the Populist
party designation on the official ballot
the committee drew up an address to
their supporters and adjourned sine die
The address recapitulates the efforts OF
the middle of the-road men to get on the
ballot and concludes:
ut Is evident that there is no remedy
against fusions other than to defeat
them. Having done all in our power to
preserve the party, we find that we have
gained the respect Of all fair-minded
men in all parties whose respect is
worth having. and as under the present
laws we are deprived. by the fusion man.
ayers from having a People party's
ticket, all those who are opposed to
fusions and believe they ought to be de-
defeated, will judge for themselves how
to cast their votes most effectually to
that end.
"In conclusion, we urge that all who
believe in our immortal principles should
stand by their convictions until their
final establishment.
"By order of the executive committee.

THE CRETAN QUESTION
Russia Will Not Be Responsible for
Coercion

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 8.-The ul-
timatum Of the powers, on the subject
Of the evacuation of the Island Of Crete
by the Turkish troops, declares that
should the Sultan refuse to yield, he will
lose his sovereign rights in Crete. This
has excited Turkish circles. They call
this action Of the powers unjust and
hope is entertained that Russia will de-
cline to cooperate with the other pow
ers, In which case, it is believed, the lat
ter will not resort to extremities. In
diplomatic circles comment has been ex-
cited by the fact that the censor per-
mitted the newspapers here to repro
duce the dispatch in which Russia, re-
plying to Great Britain, declared she
was opposed to violent measures and
would protest beforehand against their
employment. This is believed to be an
attempt to make Great Britain alone re-
Iponsible for any coercion.
