HORSE FELL ON FIREMAN


Driver Patrick DAILY, of No. 10 engine,
ON Halliday street, lies seriously injured
at his home suffering from injuries he
received few days ago. The company
had returned from a fire and the men
were unhitching the three horses from the
engine. One of the off horses slipped as
it was turning to go into its stall and
fell on driver DAILY. The fireman was
helpless. He was in a terrible position.
Several times he yelled for help before
his comrades realized his danger. The
floor was very slippery and the men had
much difficulty in getting the animal on
its feet.
When DAILY was picked up he was url-
conscious. A doctor was summoned and a
hasty examination of the fireman was
made. 1t was found that several ribs
had been crushed. Internal injuries were
also feared Daly's body is covered with
bruises and cuts. The doctors hope 70
pull him through. but it will be many a
day before he is able to resume duty at
his post as driver.

The crew of the empty engine seeing
that a collision was unavoidable, Jumped
after the engineer had reversed the loco

LIT TIE HOPE
ONE HUNDRED LIVES LIKELY TO
BE LOST IN WRECK ON
FRENCH COAST.

Nlarseilles, Jan. 9.-Dispatches from
the village of Faraman, near which the
French mail steamer Russe, from
Oran, Algeria, stranded Monday in a
violent storm with fifty passengers and
crew of forty on board, say that all
efforts to reach the steamer have failed,
owing to the tremendous height of the
seas which are running. The pilot
boats and torpedo boats which have at
tempted to reach the steamer have
been unable to battle with the waves
and have returned. The only hope
seems to be in the ability of the life
savers to throw a line over the Russie
if the wrecked vessel is driven closer
to shore. The forecastle and part of the
forward deckhouse are all of the vessel
above water. The beach was lined all
night with watchers. Lights were seen
on Loard the steamer, but it is believed
some of those on board of her have
already been drowned, although 10
bodies have been washed ashore.

PROSECUTE THE BOXERS.
New Jersey Justice After All Kinds
OF Sluggers.

New York. jan ?.--In his charge to
the grand jury at Paterson, n. j., Jus
flce Dixon directed the attention Of the
jurors to boxing matches" and instruct-
ed them to bring in indictments. He said:
1T is regarded as Il kind of common
sport in the various sections of the
country and perhaps PaSsaic county is
not free from that sport. 1t is delnor-
a!izing influence and there are certainly
quite enough of those influences in the
community and those to whom the en-
forcement of the laws is entrusted cam
not discharge their duty better than by
exercising whatever power they have in
the suppression of those various intu-
enceS. Our statutes render priZetghtinG
misdemeanor not only as regards those
engaged in the fights but those who aid
and abet it. and those who voluntarily
witness it. Now these encounters do not
go by the name Of prize fights. They are
known as boxing matches displays Of
pugilistic skill' and things of that sort.
While there is doubt, there may be q
boxing match which is not prize fight,
but, so far as my information goes. none
of these exhibitions of tstic skill are
anything else than prize fights, for The
object of those who engage in them--the
object of each--iS to disable each other
and whenever that is the object. it is 4
fight call it by whatever name you will.
1t is the characteristic of a fight that
two men engage in a effort with their
hands to njure each other, SO that if you
find evidence of such exhibitions any
where within the county. it will be your
plain duty to indict the participants en-
gagged in the encounter, those who have
aided and abetted it and those who have
voluntarily witnessed it. l trust that in
this matter you will do your duty
