MAN GOT AWAY.
He Was Put on His Guard by an
Innocent Remark.

Bicycle Policemen Trimpe and Lowe were
sent out about IL o'clock last night to
catch a man prowling about the home of
Charles f. Ruschaupt, 1875 North Pennsyl-
vania street. They did not catch him. owing
to innocent remark OF John I. Dickson

a man standing on the corner that he had
called the police. Dickson had no more than
spoken the word when the man ran and
whistled for his pal who was the cause
of the alarm
The servant girl at Ruschaupts home
saw the man peeping in at the windows
She called Mr.. Dickson by telephone. He
aroused his neighbor and then went out
A man standing on the corner whistled
soon they appeared. They asked him
what he was doing there and he replied
that he was waiting for his partner -
Then Mr.. Dickson told him about the
police.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS STRIKE.
1t May Be Broken by the Action of
the Varney Company.

The electrical workers strike that was
inaugurated about two weeks ago has prac-
tically been broken by the Varney Electric
Company agreeing TO place men at work
this morning and conceding all OF the de-
mands, including the advance in wages.
This company is independent of the con-
tractors association, but it is thought its
action will cause others to sign the scale.
The men will work for Varney until the
scale is signed by the association and then
he will enter into a contract with the union,
paying whatever scale is agreed on by both
sides. 1t is said that it was due to a mis-
understanding that the men employed by
the Varney company struck.

Observation-Disclosures Dissolved.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 0.-A new
phase was put on the Injunction case

to-day, when an order made by Judge Allen
was received. He holds that the remedy
of the injured parties is by action for dam
ages, and he will not allow the injunction

taken by Judge Allen for the reason that
about five thousand people are dependent
on their work at the copper plants as
source of livelihood, while the complaining
interests on the smoke nuisance represent
only a small part Of the community.
There are already about seventy damage
suits docketed against the two copper COM
panies, which the companies are willing 10
settle on fair basis, or purchase the land
at a reasonable figure.

Definition of Prize Fighting.

The brief for the State was filed yester-

from a judgment quashing an affidavit
charging Robert Patton with engaging in
a prize fight near Sullivan, Ind. The af-

the statute which forbids prize fighting
does not define what a prize fight Is, so as
&c make il certain when the law has been

use of such name is a sufficient definition.
He urges that the court can know just as
