Broadway Methodist Church, and T. J
Carr, proprietor OF The Inn, fash
ionable boarding house, in which the

The principals to the combat refused
to make statement.
Rev Briggs and his family are
boarders at The Inn, The preachers
11-yearold son, Waverly, was. out in
the kitchen teasing Mrs. Carr, calling
her Betsy etc, when she called .he
husband to make the child get away.
Accident to the Child.
Mr. Carr is said to have told the
child to go up stairs to his parents,
and ran at him, The boy in fleeing
struck the stairway and stunned his
head. Mr. Carr picked him up and
carried him up stairs. The boys cries
attracted the father, who ran out OF
his room and asked what was the
matter. 1t is said the boy replied that
Carr had hit him, and Rev. Briggs
asked Gar, Did you hit my boy?"
Fist Fight Ensued
1t is said that the proprietor an
swered that he did not, and the ques
tion was repeated a second time. Carr

Troop +, of the Fourteenth United
States cavalry under the command of
Capt Kirby Walker and Second Lieut..
Reed, who are here from Fort Wingate
to suit the pleasure of fair visitors,
gave fine exhibition of the manual
of arms before large crowd of ad-
mirers on Railroad avenue last night.
Although the drill did not last many
minutes it was most interesting and
much appreciated.
A big tent under the management of
the local Young Peoples Christian
Temperance union has been placed at
the corner OF Gold avenue and Third
street, filled with benches for the tired
and foot sore visitors. Rev. w. J..
Marsh of the Congregational church,
delivered a short address to a large
crowd at the tent last night. Singing
was enjoyed.
A large crowd visited the Midway
last night. but there wasn't much do
ing. The people were out to see what
they could for nothing. The band play
ed some music. The enticing dancing
girls attracted more or less attention.
The reproduction OF Mount Pelee drew
somewhat of a crowd. The ding of the
shooting gallery bell and the call of
the peanut vender were evident. The
scene was quite lively, but not equal
to what it will be tonight.
The Clarksville and Cerrillos coal
yards will be closed all day Thursday
and Friday afternoons of this week.
The midway seemed to be the prin-
cipal attraction this morning. All the
various shows, the Hindoo mysteries,
original Little Egypt, palace of illus
ions, Mount Pelee and others are at
tracing the attention Of the sight
seers. The Italian band adds harmony
to the surrounding There is some
thing doing every minute and no doubt
the people are paying for all their en-
joyment

participate in the public sentiments,
Farther up the avenue the decorated
stores of w. Y. Walton. the congenial
druggist; l.. Kempenich, the popular
clothier, and also those of the Atlantic

Beautiful windows are springing up
in the night.
Brockmeier & Cox have a fine line
Of camera and Photographic goods on

BASKET BALL.
Minors Defeated the Stars in a Good
Game Last Niuht,

The Minors defeated the Stars in an
exciting and interesting game of bas-
ket ball last night by score of 8 to 2.
The Minors showed better team work
than the Stars. which was evidence of
more practice. The last half was very
roughly played, fouls were frequent.
Only one basket was thrown from the
field. 1t was thrown by Anderson, of
the Minors. Albers, for the Stars,
threw two goals on fouls and Strun-
quist threw four.
Umpires were J. H. Stingle and
Thomas Keleher, and w. j. Travis
was referee.
. There was much enthusiasm shown
by the crowd. Each team had plenty
of rooters, who did not fail to play
their part.
The dance which followed was a
very pleasant affair, the gay dancers
keeping possession of the floor until
after IL o'clock.

STOPPED IN Time
Blaze at Exhibition Hall Extlngulsed
In Time to Prevent Big Fire.
An EXCITED YOUns LADY

An accident occurred in the Gold
Label baking powder booth at Floral
hall this morning, which, had it not
been for the presence of mind of a
lady In a nearby booth, would have
proven great disaster and total
loss of thousands and thousands of
costly blankets, rugs and other valua-
BILE exhibits. The girl that does the
demonstrating in the Gold Label bak-
ing powder booth went to the hall as
usual this morning and lighted the gas
oline stove on which the delicious bis
cults served by Gold Label baking
powder people, are baked. The stove
was contrary and when lighted fiared
up. The young lady demonstrator and
her colored women assistants became
frightened and ran away, leaving the
fire blazing and the gasoline running.
And had it not been for Mrs. Katherine
Stevens, demonstrator in the Lion
coffee booth, who ran into the booth
and at the peril of being severely
burned, turned off the gasoline, no
telling what damage would have re-
suited.
A fair value of the goods on exhibit
at Floral hall can not be made by a
casual observer. but 1t would run into
thousands of dollars.
