About A Dog Fight.

About the most disreputable exhibit
ion of hilarity, reaching to the stage OF
the disgusting, that has been seen on the
streets of the city in long time took
place last night, near the corner OF
Fourth and Main streets. Two dogs
had engaged in combat and we're drag
ging each other in brutal grip all about
the street, when instead Of attempting
to seperate the animals, one of which
was much heavier than the other, q
great crowd with whetted lips to see the
struggle, ran pell mell about the street,
followin the dogs in all their struggles
and urging them to continue the COM
bat.
Here was the grandsst opportunity in
the world for policeman or any other
individual with stuffed club to admin
ister Lesson to that boisterous crowd.
They were far worse, many Of them, than
the animals who were fighting. At last
several merchants who were attracted
to the fight by the yelling and horse
play of the gang broke through the
crowd and by main force tore the dogs
apart.
Could any Of the many tourists who
have visited this city during the past
few months have witnessed that exhi-
bition last night, the city would have
earned for itself reputation, at once
unenviable and at the same time dis
pleasing.

There was a hearing before Chief

induced 10 take by means of false and

in the Common Pleas division and a
verdict given for the plaintiff in both
cases.
The defendant based his petition for
a new trial on six grounds. The first
was that the verdict was against the
law and the evidence and the weight
thereof and the other grounds deals
with alleged error on the part OF the
trial justice in the lower court. OF these
grounds Of alleged error the most reli-
ance was placed on the one that the
defendant did not have full, fair and
impartial trial bY reason Of the preJu-
dicial comments Of the court upon the
character OF his defence. TO which en-
ception was duly taken"
Counsel for the plaintiff argued that
an examination of the defence relied
