I MIXED IN MELEE
Several Injured In Fight With
o., T. & s. EN- mpioyes at Toie-
do --Authorities Oueii Riot.

Toledo, o., Dec. 24.--There was q
sensational fight in progress in THE
city yesterday between the Detroit aud
Toledo Shore line and the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroads The former
had endeavored to effec. a forcible
crossing of the Lake Erie's tracks at
New York avenue and Bassett street,
and the employees were met with re-
sistance by men armed with picks and
shovels There was an exchange of
blows and several rugged railroad men
were rendered unconscious, so effect
lively were the weapons welded.
The affair was assuming an ugly as.
pect when the sheriff appeared armed
with an injunction just issued by the
court to compel the Detroit and Toledo
Shore line to desist. Attorney Monsa-
rat, acting for the Wheeling, saw early
in the day that he must meet the plans
of the Shore line with a mandate from
the court, and he applied early and sue
ceeded in holding Judge Pugsley in HE
court room long enough to have the
papers prepared. Over one hundred
men were on hand and part OF the
Wheeling's tracks had been torn before
the order of the court was read.
The Shore Line had the better of the
argument in the matter of employing
force and would have surely driven the
Wheeling men from the scene.

The dedication of the main building
or the Massillon state hospital which
In the future will be known as Nc
hiniey hall. calls to attention the mar
veious progress that has been made
during the past quarter of a century
In the care and treatment of insane
persons. 1t also draws attention par
ticularly to the fact that Ohio now Ia
far and away In advance in this re.
markable progress, and possesses with
out doubt the best institution embody-
ing all the advanced ideas on this sub
ject, in America, and possibly In the
world.
Twenty-Five years ago the theory of
treating insanity, except in special
cases, was just beginning to assume
practical form. Before that time the
practice was simply to confine the un-
fortunates, the chief purpose being to
protect sane persons from them. Ear
lfer this confinement amounted to
cruelty Of the worst type, but fortu-
nately that barbarous period had near
ly passed. and the idea was to treat
them kindly and humanely as possible,
but their cure was secondary and
purely an incidental feature.
Now the primary purpose of state

sons. is to improve the mental condi-
ton and IL possible effect an absolute
cure, by systematic and studious treat

tuition Is no longer an asylum but a
hospital, and so the official name was
accordingly changed by legislative en-
actment few years ago.

first real and full exemplification OF

COAL men WELCOME

There is great rejoicing among the
coal dealers of the city since the
weather has moderated. The demand
for coal has been so great for the last
few days that another week or severe
cold weather would have arsed a coal
famine in the city. Most of the coal
wagons were busy all day Sunday till
late in the evening.

representative that he had experienced
great difficulty in obtaining enough coal
for his customers. "Tha scarcity"
said he, SIS caused by the inability
of the railroads to carry the coal. Most

Another coal dealer said that the
demand for coal was as great last week
as 1t had ever been, evan when the
this was caused by the numerous new
manufacturing establishments that
have located in the city curing the
past year.
Several surrounding cities have suf-
fered greatly duriag the past week
from the lack of coal and gas but Can

dealers say that they will be satisfied
