Strange Fascination.
From the Washington star

Did you ever stand looking at a
piece of electrical machinery. or a
wire you knew was charged with a
heavy current, and experienced a
strong desire to touch it?" asked a
well-known electrician of a group of
friends. We'll, that is one of the most
peculiar things about electricity, and
one have never heard explained. II

every one. on seeing some bit of cleo

knows there Is danger In the touch and

despite the way Zeigler got in on him
when they met.
EeItz and Smith.

Smith entered the ring before Feltz.
The boy is a Jew and Smith is only
his fighting name. Feltz waited until
his opponent had got comfortably set
tied, and then he made a dramatic en-
try. F'eltz is cock-looking little chap,
built from the ground up, and he look
ed dead game as he rang in his "be
jimmy walk from his dressing room
to his corner of the ring. He looked
like he had the fight in his belt al
ready. The crowd tumbled to his air
and to his jaunty look, and the young
ster got the hands. Smooth looks
count in the ring, and good locker
can get the glad whistle when he leaves
his dressing room.

Smiths corner. Over across the way.
looking after Feltz, were AL McMurray,
Jack DAILY and Kid Davis. The sec
onds were right in the game, and they
looked out for their men we'll
At the sound of the gong the quick
youngsters were in the middle of the
ring. AS they spared cautiously,
looking for openings in the preliminary
way that fighters so often show when
they are sizing each other up, it could
be seen that Smith had hight and
reach strongly in his favor He was
weightier than Tommie, too, having at
ltdol ten pOuluS On the 1lOOklNn ldu.
Smith wouldn't get down to Feltz's
weight. as he couldn't stand for the
112 pounds at which Tommie fought.
After bit of this sparring, the boys
got together. They mixed it up in
great shape. They fought with only
one arm free most of the time, and the
crowd couldn't very well see what was
doing. Both were as quick as winks.
Smith went down once or twice, foxy,
and DAILY was remarking on the out
side about the Philadelphia lads tao
tics. DAILY said he was trying to make
Tommie hit him while he was down.
In fact. it seemed to be the idea of
Tommie's seconds that Sammie was
looking out for foul on which to get
the award.
Both youngsters were fresh when
the gong sounded on the first round
and they went at it again in the sec
ond in pretty much the same way.
Smith rushed after a bit. and he landed
stiff ones on Tommie's jaw. The Brook
lyn lad was up in the air for a few
moments. but got back to earth long
enough to clinch and shove his right
to the stomach. That was when Smith
went down. 1t was all over then, ex-
cept the jawing. That will continue
for a few days longer.
Nine out of ten of those who like
the game are sore on mitigating. They
want to get back to the old break
clean style that was seen here up to
a few days ago. They were talking
about it after the bouts. They don't
like fighting with one arm free, be-
cause they can't see what's doing. AS
it happened last night, the crowd
couldn't see either the jolt that put
Dillon out of business or the punch
that sent Smith TO the mat. The fight
ers are going to frame up their bouts
to suit themselves. but patrons of the
ring are going to boiler all the same.
If the club can ring in break clean
bouts once more it will strike a popu-
lar chord

she, also, is an attraction. At all

this time forth she can ask almost

ing one of his aces, so to lose to his
confederate, and would claim later that
he did it by accident His companion
dealt him one card and took one him
self. Now, l raise you $780, said the
one who held the aces, putting the rest
of the strangers money in the pot. I
call you, replied the other, counting
out the cash. Then an astonishing
thing happened.
I have four aces said the first
gambler and began to turn over his
cards, one by one. By the eternal! that
was exactly what he had! He was con-
fident, of course, that he had discarded
one of them, and was all prepared to
yell: 'Merciful heavens! l threw away
one of my aces by mistake! But there
were all four staring him in the face!
The other blackleg, who had four
kings, almost fell out of his chair, and
before they could recover from their
amazement the dark man was on his
feet. We seem to have won,' he said
cody to the gambler he had staked:
let us divide the spols.' With that
he counted over his 81, 600, put it in his
pocket and split the balance, making
his share, as I remember it, about $3.50
The faces of the two gamblers were u
study, but there was something so in
describably menacing in the man s
look and they were so clearly outwit-
ted that they offered no objection. He
then bade them an ironical good night,
and disappeared to his cabin. He got
off before morning at a plantation
landing, and I learned long afterward
that he was noted professional card
sharp, whose home was in Baltimore.
How did he do the trick? Well, the
best 1 can give you is my theory. I
believed he substituted an ace for the
six spot when he examined the hand
The gambler subsequently discarded
an ace all right, enough, but unIuck-
lily for him he still had four left. If it
wasn't done that way 1 give it up"

FALLIGANT AGAIN AFFIRMED.

second Time supreme Court Decides
Against Plant system In Pole Case.
For the second time Judge Falligant
has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court in the case of the Savannah.
Florida and Western Railway Com
pany against the Postal Telegram and
Cable Company. kilograms were re-
ceived by counsel yesterday morning
which told of the ruling of the higher
court.
The railroad company sought to OBJ
tain an injunction preventing condem-
nation proceedings by the defendant
company. The Postal people desired to
lay poles on the railroad right of-way
between Albany and Thomasville and
Thomasville and Valdosta, and began
condemnation proceedings. Judge Fall
ligant refused to restrain this action.
and was affirmed by the Supreme
Court. Another appeal was made on
extended grounds, and was again re-
fused by the lower court. 1t is upon
this case that the court in Atlanta has
just acted.
There is now in the courts an action
for permanent injunction against
the railroad company. in which the tel
eSraph company seeks to prevent its
poles being taken up when they are
placed in the ground. A temporary in
junction was granted by Judge Falli-
giant. and the railroad has been re-
strained from interfering with the
erection of the poles or the construc-
