FOUGHT FOUL.
St. Bernard Hits Below the
Belt and the Fight Was Off.

Two canine belligerents met in
combat at the corner of Chatham and
Main last evening. A big st. Bernard
and a cur of low degree had dis
agreement too serious to be settled by
ordinary means and an interesting
fight resulted.
A large number Of passersby at
tracted by the yelpings, formed circle
around the combatants and manifested
a lively interest in the proceedings.
Impromptu bets We're made. For a
long time the fight was even. The lit
tie dog held his own, sparring for
wind and endeavoring to tire out his
heavier opponent. But in the end
weight told. The fighters clinched and
the big dog got death hold round the
little ones neck and submerged him
beneath the water which filed the gut
ter. At this point officer Michael
Foley, who was patrolng his beat, put
a stop to the mill and ruled the fight
draw, with all bets off.
II was sorry to stop the mill" said
Officer Foley, talking about the matter
last evening. 1T was a beautiful eX-
hibtion of skill I hoped that it could
be conducted out in gentlemany
fashion and without brutality, but
when the big dog hit below the belt,
/ saw it was time to call the fight off.

ANOTHER MAN.
Permanent Force of Fire
Patrol to Be Increased.

The Worcester Protective department
has voted to increase the force Of per-
manent men of the fire patrol from four
to five members. The total complement
of members will remain the same, how
ever. Heretofore there has been four
permanent, four call men and two sub
stitutes, and after the change is made
there will be FIVE permanent men, three
Gall men and two substitutes
Several applications are already I'M
der consideration, prominent among
which lis that of Robert Taft who has
been call member of the company for
the past three years, and providing he
passes the physical examination, his
election is practically assured.
The matter Of physical examination
is something new at the fire patrol, and
is one of the many changes under con-
Sideration to put the company on the
same general footing as the fire depart
ment. Heretofore members of the patrol
nave been allowed one afternoon and
one evening off duty eachgweek. under
condition that they answer all bell
alarms. In future the time off will be
the same as in the fire department
three days each month
BY this arrangement the men leave
Their quarters at o'clock in the morn
ing and remain off duty during the en-
suing "a hours, answering only on sec
ond alarms. 1t cannot be stated inst
when the additional man will be an
pointed, but Capt Williamson stated
yesterday that it would probably be bv
the first of March.

BY TUNNELS.
Work on New Sewers Pro-
crossing Rapidly.

Work on the tunnels in Green and
Water streets is progressing rapidly
with the exception of the shaft at the
corner of Green and Winter streets,
where bad bed of quicksand has been
encountered. and Superintendent Eddy
is delaying work for the present
From the shaft at the corner of Green
and Harrison streets, gangs are work
ing southwark day and night They
have bored under the ground over 800
feet. and are now below Spruce street.
Measurements for the workmen are
furnished by the city engineer The
tunnel takes turn below Spruce street
swinging several feet from a straight
line.
On Water street the workmen have
not been as long employed, but have
gone a distance of lis feet north and
south from Harrison street. The work
in Water street requires greater care
than what is now being done In Green
street, for the drift is half sand and
half ledge, and In blasting the ledge,
precaution must be taken lest too great
a cut be made in the dirt.
The shaft at the corner of Fox and
Water streets was started a day or two
ago, and worlSmen will cut the head
ing noftn 10 meet the gang coming
south from Harrison street shaft.
Pumping is being done in the shaft at
the corner of Green and Winter streets.
The strata of quicksand there is an ex-
tensive one, and the sand is the worst
kind that is possible for tunneling.
Greater care must be exercised in cut
ting the heading at that point, on ac-
count of the presence of the quick
sands.
superintendent Eddy anticipates no
serious trouble when he starts to cut
the drift. and will use compressed air
to hold the sands in place while it is
being cut

A GLORIOUS TRINITY.

To the Editor of The Sunday Spy:
Allusion has been made to the fine
points made in some of the speeches
at the presidents reception in Boston
There were many but among them all
none so grand as this:
The president is one of three
Washington, Lincoln and McKinley-a
glorious trinity.
Washington freed the American
colonies; Lincoln freed four million
slaves Mckinley has thrown off a
tyrannic yoke from ten million souls
held down by the iron hand of the op-
pressor."
/ may not have quoted exactly YER
batim, but think have given the SEN
timent nearly correct. This sentiment
is so grand that | cannot conceive how
a man or woman, high or low, rich or
poor can be found in this country
with soul so dead as not to respond
with quick enthusiasm to it.
/ heard it remarked during the cam
paign that elected Mckinley, that che

daily or $4,000 in a week, all of which
is put into active circulation.
The Worcester Consolidated employs
nearly the same number of shovelers as
the city. Supt Alderman says they had
nearly $50 men and 80 or 40 teams at
work till Friday. This means an out
hay of nearly $200G to that company. 1t
is a conservative estimate TO say that
the Worcester and Suburban and the
Clinton, and Marlboro lines each had
to spend $1,000 to put their roads in oper-
alton again.
The amounts spent by the railroads
centering in Worcester was enormous
and not so easy to estimate. AS the
greater part of their road clearing was
done outside the city of Worcester they
should probably be left OFT of the
question.
Still more difficult to estimate is the
aggregate amount spent by private
citizens clearing their sidewalks. alley
ways and roofs. Hundreds of residents
without servants or the power to do it
themselves hired their sidewalks
cleaned. The small sums thus earned
by men who worked by the hour would
if Jumped together make a surprising
amount Almost every store and pub
lie building besides clearing its side
walks was obliged to pay a man to
shovel off the housetop and knock down
fcicleS for fear that some passerby by
struck by failing piece of ice would
enter suit against the owner of the
property.
After carefully and conservatively
calculating the amounts spent by pri-
waite individuals and public corpora
tons during the last week it is per
haps not saying too much to estimate
that between 100000 and $4,000 We're
spent clearing up the ravages of the
storm. Large business houses may have
suffered losses during that time. Mer-
chants may have experienced fallings
off in, sales. But it is at least comfort
ing to reflect that one large element of
the cftys population, the element which
needed the money the most has bene-
fitted by the great blizzard of go

THE LOWER COURT;
Russell Goes to the Reformatoy for
That Poor Horse Trade.

John Russell was arraigned in the
central district court yesterday morn
ing, charged with larceny He was
formatory. Russell hired horse and
sleigh from A. II. Henry Thursday af-
ternoon, and in the course of trip that

George Folsom, a young man who
claims residence in Providence, was
charged with stealing a pair of over
shoes. The youth was arrested on
Front street, after trying to pawn the
shoes, which are valued at SLIPS, for
20 cents. When asked where he got
the shoes, Folsom told conflicting sto-
ries, and as 1t was reported to the Off
GERS that he had tried to pawn articles
locked up. The case was placed on
file on condition that Folsom be sent
back to Providence.
Fred Norcross, SO, and Lizzie Macklin,
alias Dermo, were charged with adul-
terry, and held in the sum of $500 each
for the superior court. The couple

street early yesterday morning. A
short time ago the woman told mem
bers of the police force that her name
was Geo. Macklin, and that her husband
was in the Klondike, but at the police
station she denied that her name was
other than Lizzie Deamo.
Charles Henegan was charged with
disorderly conduct, and had his case
continued until Monday morning for
investigation The complaint is
brought by a Leicester girl who claims
to be Henegans third cousin. He de-
MES the charge, and says the girl is
trying to force him to marry her.
The following disposition was made
of the drunk list: John Brown house
of correction, four months; Harvey
Robbins, Charles Anderson, Dennis

WILL TRY AGAIN.
But Mayor Chase's Visit
Now Postponed Indefinitely

Owing to the many imperative de-
mands upon his time, the local social
democrats have been unable to secure
satisfactory dates for the visit of Mayor
Chase of Haverhll and as a conse-
quence the matter is postponed indefi-
nitely.
1t had been planned to secure Mr..
Chase for the closing of the series of
public meetings held at Y. c. T. u.
room on Pearl street, and failing in this
the course is declared closed. At q more
opportune time an effort will again be
made to introduce the socialist mayor
to the Worcester public.
The social democrats will continue
the work of socialistic education and
propaganda and will be assisted by the
social democratic auxiliary which is
virtually reorganization of the Social
ist Educational Society which lately
disbanded.

oVERCoATS MISSING.

In light of the past "a hours devel-
opments, it would seem that Worces-
ter is favored with a visit from a
thief who makes overcoats a speciality.
J. M. Couley of "a Pleasant street re-
ports that his coat was stolen from the
hallway of the Estabrook building,
Friday night, and vest erday John Ny
strom of 10 Summer street made COM
plant that his coat was stolen from
the back piazza Of a house of Shrews-
bury street, where the garment was
left while the owner was at work in
the neighborhood
A short time ago number of over
coats disappeared in various parts of
the city, and the thought suggests it
self that the same Individuals have re-
turned to pay their compliments p
