FOUGHT IN THE STREET.
Ex-Assistant Harbor Master
Struck His Former Chief.

Former Deputy United States Marshal
John Murray, shortly after ten o'clock
this morning assaulted Harbor Master
Martin Mullery, in the presence of a large
number of persons, on the corner of
Washington and Montgomery streets.
Murray is a young man and his victim
is over flfty-fve years old. Murray's
blow knocked Mullery down. Assistant
Harbor Master Robert Pritchard came to
his chiefs assistance and jumped upon
Murray. Pritchard dealt him vicious
blow in the face, which felled him to
the ground. Murray, who was slightly in
toxicated, and whose passions were thor
oughly aroused, was on his feet in an
instant Murray made at Pritehard and
not only struck at him but dealt him
kick
Pritchard. who has a reputation as
fighter again knocked Murray fat on
his back The PROSTATE man grabbed
Pritchard's leg and pulled Pritchard on
TOP of him. Then the two men clinched
and roleld over and over on the side
walk. They were surrounded by crowd
of over fifty persons. In the struggle
Murray's coat was badly torn. Each man
received a number of blows which left
their marks.
Bystanders finally interfered and tore
them apart Murray's friends had tron-
Bile in restraining him from again attack
ing Pritchard.
The trouble between Murray and Null
lery is of long standing. After his re-
moval as United States Marshal Murray
became assistant to Harbor Master Peter
Daily. At Daly's death Mullery was ap-
pointed Daly's successor and for time
Murray continued as Assistant Harbor
Master He was finally dismissed and
Pritchard took his place Murray alleges
that Mullery owes him over $40 for ser
vices as his assistant which he has re-
peatedly refused to pay. When the two
men met today Murray demanded the
money that was due him. Mullery paid
no attention to him, whereupon Murray
called Mullery thief and struck him.
The fight followed. No arrests were
made

Ths ouaIitte. of a Good Roller

we find that from the point of view Of
ecoomy of coal, leaving out questions Of
safety, case Of management, first cost,
etc. that the good boiler should have a
large furnace lined with flrebrick where
the temperature of compstion Will be as
high as possible, and thus the incomplete
combustion will be as small as possible.
In this furnace a small CRATE should be
provided on which the coal should be
burned at a very high rate or combustion
25 or 80 pounds per square foot. 1t is not
practical. however. to go much beyond
this rate, as unburned coke coal and Gin
ders will be carried up the chimney by
the strong draft necessary If too high a
nrate Of combustion is used. After the
coal is burned in such q furnace the gases
should be passed over large area of
heating surface, and this heating surface
should be so arranged that no air can
leak into the gases after the gases have
passed into the fiue.-R. s. Hale, in the

TIMING A RAILWAY TRAIN.
There Are Several Ways of Ascer-
tanning the speed u IL
Making.

Not one person ina hundred has any
idea OF the speed OF a train, and even
q large percentage Of the regular train
iaen cannot tell with any degree OF
accuracy. Engineers use their driv-
ing wheel as q gauge. They know its
circumference. and by counting its rev.
olufions within a certain time can tell
very accurately the speed at which they
are running.
A favorite method of timing among
passengers Is to count the telegraph
poles. As a rule these poles are plant
ed 30 10 the mile, but In prairie conn
tries. where only single wire is used,
The number diminishes 10 25. so that
rule will not always work. The most
accurate method. and the one most In
use by experienced railroad men, 10 to
count the number OF rail joints the
train passes over in 90 seconds. The
rails on nearly all roads are 80 feet in
length, and the number passed over in
20 seconds Is the speed per hour q
train is running.
For instance. II a passenger can count
80 clicks on rail joint in 20 seconds,
,he :rain is running at q speed Of 30
miles an hour. Actually. this method
falls a little short. as in the example
given above the speed would be nearer
81 than 30 miles. but II lie near enough
for ell practical purposes.

William Lightioot Nisscher tells this char
acterstic story ot Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
a. the terrible Judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be ex-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was so
unrelentingly severe, but because he had

mails to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction OF such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch of

compass sonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said:

experience Of this prisoner ] shall let him of

Before the Judge had done speaking the
very fresh Young man coolly stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
