FIGHT OVER A FAN.
Chinaman Wouldn't Lend
It and Now He Lies
in Hospital.

Nicholas Colluc, twenty-six years old,
of No. 204 Bay street, and Patrick Shog-
roe twenty-nine years old, of No. 35l
Grove street. We're arraigned in the First
Criminal Court this morning charged with
atrocious assault and battery on Ong
Lee. a Chinese laundryman, who, with
his brother, Sing Lee. conducts business
at No. S56 Grove street.
Ong lies in the City Hospital with a
severe wound in the head, inflicted by
shogroe with a piece of iron pipe nearly
a yard long. Colluc and shogroe were
held in $500 bail apiece for examination
Of the charges against them.
The stories told in the case are some
what conflicting. Sing Lee told Sergeant
F;ep;e that fses came ever from Nev
York at midnight and was Joined by his
brother, Ong,} shortly ofterward AS the
night was warm they sat out in front of
their laundry for awhile after their re-
turn, when Colluc, the Italian, came up
to his brother and asked for the loan of
fan. Upon a refusal he called Sing
brother a vile name and attempted to
assault him with razor Sing says he
ran into the laundry after a piece of
IRON pipe and when he returned the
Italian ran away; but another man,
front room of the laundry. He says he
dropped the iron pipe and Shogroe picked
1t up and struck his brother on the top
of the head, knocking him UNCONSCIOUS.
In the fight Shogroe received a bad cut
over his right eye Shogroe refused to
make any statement to Sergeant Finnie.
Colluc said he was sitting outside the
saloon of Williams R. Ketts at No. 354
Grove street, and Mr.. Ketts asked him to
go over and borrow fan for him from
the laundryman. The Chinaman refused
and he went back a second time when he
found the Chinaman's brother emerging
from the laundry with big stick. He
ran away.
William R. Kett says he asked Colluc
to go over to the laundry and ask for
the loan Of fan. 1t was refused and he
sent Colluc back to toll the Cinnamon
the fan was for him. He saw Colluc
making motions indicating TO the China
men that the fan was for him-sthe big
fat man." One of the Cinnamon ran inside
and come out with piece of iron pipe
and mace an effort to strike him. The
Italian ran away. Shegroe, who was
standing outside the saloon went up and
told the Cninaman not to use the bar and
the Chinaman struck him tShogroe) with
the pipe and dragged him inside.
Shogroe's wound was dressed at the
City Hospital and he was then booked as
a prisoner along with Colluc on charges
preferred by Sing Lee.

Before the night was far advanced the
force became so crippled that it was inn
possible to keep the fires going under all

P. R. R. DUMPS
Motion to Stop the Use Of
Street Sweeps Heard in
Chanoery.
.COMPAEY'S DEFENCE
Claims That the Contractors
Are Responsible for the
Nuisance If Any.

Vice Chancellor Emery in the Court Of
Chancery, this morning, heard argument
on the return of the order requiring the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to show
cause why it should rot be restrained
from filling in the fats off the Greenville
shore. where the conps tiys propesrs 70
build an immense freight station, with
garbage or refuse or other offensive MAJ
terial The order was obtained by Nun
go J. Currie, counsel for himself, his
mother, Ellen Currie. and his brothers,
James Currie and John Alexander Cur
rie, who live and own property on the
Greenville shore, near the dumps, and
claim that the stenches which arise from
the garbage and refuse which the COM
pany uses there for filling in purposes
are menace to the health and comfort
of the complainants. They also charge
that by reason of the smells they have
been at times deprived of the pleasure Of
sitting upon the piazzas in the evening
and at other times the house is full of it,
so that it is dangerous to be in it. At
times again they have been obliged to
effort to prevent the vile smell from en-
tering, and this only resulted in bottling
it up in the house.
Charles c. Black, Mungo ]. Currie and
Robert Carey appeared for the complain
ants and James B. Vredenburgh repres-
ented the defendant Mr.. Black opened
the case and presented the bill and the
accompanying affidayits. He argued that
these plainly showed the railroad com
pany was maintaining nuisance and
should be restrained from continuing it.
Mr.. Vredenburgh read an affidavit by
Engineer Bowles setting forth the details
Of the trip which the Jersey city Board of
Health made to the scene of the improve
ment last week and saying that those
who were en- that trip did not observe the
smells complained of.
Another affidavit by P. Sanford Ross
was also read. Mr.. Ross said that he was
one of the contractors employed by the
railroad company to fill in the flats. The
contractors used for the most part in
filing in cellar dirt and the soil that was
dredged out of the channel. A small sec
ton, however, was filled in with sweep
ings from the streets of New York. On
June 13 he received a letter from Mr.
smells came from these sweepings He
then ordered the chief engineer to make
an examination and upon his report he
gave orders that no more of that kind of
filling should be used.
In arguing the question Mr. yredenburg
contended that if the nuisance complained
of really did exist it was produced by the
contractors and the railroad company
could not be restrained from doing some
thing the contractors were doing. He said
that under their contracts the contractors
had no right to use material that gave
offense to the residents along the Green
vile shore and as soon as their attention
was called to it they stopped. The Vice
Chancellor reserved decision.

The patriarchal habit of kissing in
France has fallen very much into deeue-

time when on returning o favorite hotels

with a chaste salute. Among old-fash-

knew an old chatelaine, says French
correspondent, who used to kill all her
humber neighbors, day laborers or peas
ant farmers, on her nameday or special
occasions. Brothers, fathers and cons
and lifelong friends of the stronger sex,
always thus greet each other after an
absence, and the habit Is strictly In ac-
cordance with the affectioness of French
character.
But, as history teaches us, in early
times kissing was matter of etiquette.

gentleman was expected to kiss every
high-born dame to whom he was formally
introduced Exchange.
