his CORDIAL WELCOME.
James Cambsll's First Night Ameri-
ca an Exciting One.

James Campbell, hale and hearty
young son of Erin, arrived in this city
Saturday from the Emerald Isle. 1t
was his first visit to this country. That
he figured in a fight his first night ashore,
was arrested and locked in a cell was
no fault of his, and his experience was
uch, as related in the Firt Criminal
Court this morning, as would be relished
by any one in strange country.
He went direct from the ship he came
over in to the home ofhis friend John
Lynch, No. 300 Seventh street. Lynch
had planned a cordial welcome and in
vited Matthew Mcintyre, of No. 213
Brunswick street, and James Costello,
of No. 325 Fifth street. The choicest
brand of Irish whisky were procured
and for a while the reception was most
enjoyable affair. But Costello, in re-
sponse to a song, sang one that was espe-
cially obnoxious to Lynch. The two men
quarreled. Pieces of crockery were
hurled at each other. The men clinched.
Campbell and McIntyre tried to eparate
them. In the scuffle lighted lamp was
upset and Campbell was burned about
the back of the neck and left hand. He
was taken to the City Hospital, where
his wound was dressed, and then he was
locked up as disorderly person. All
the participants were arrested. In the
First Criminal Court this morning Lynch
was fined So. The others were dis
charged.

PAY up OR GO TO JAIL
vice-chancelIor Talks Plainly
to Frank Block of Union Hill.

Francis Block was before Vice-Chan-
cellor Pitney this morning to show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt Of court in not obeying an order
requiring him to give bond of $1,000
to pay his wife $40 per week alimony.
Mr.. Charles G. Black. counsel for the
complainaht Francis Block, stated that
Block owed his wife $50 alimony. At
this Block handed to the Chancellor
ia certified check for $50 and it was ac-
cepted on account.
Block was then placed on the stand
and, in answer to questions by Mr..
Black, he said that he kept clothing
store on Union Hill. but that his wife's
relations had set his creditors at him
and had so harrassed him with law suits
that his business was almost ruined and
the receipts scarcely equalled the ex-
penses. He denied that he had any inter-
est in any property or business other than
his Union Hill store and declared that
he would pay his wife all her alimony as
rapidly as he could
He complained that the action of his
wife's relatives in stirring up his cred
itors had embarrassed him greatly and
almost ruined his business.
The Vice-Chancellor said there was
no use in killing the goose that laid the
golden egg; but, if Block did not pay all
that was due next week he would lock
him up
The vice-C Chancellor scored Block se-
verely and said he sympathized with mrs
Block in her troubles. The complainant
is living in South Jersey She is sup
porting herself and the three children.
