LIGHT WAR AGAIN
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN COMrA"
 NIHes BREAKS OUT AFREsH'
Case Tnveiving Contest Between OAo and New Companies About Us- Ing Poles ls Submitted to
 E0uity Court.

The legal war between the Mont gomery Light and Water Power Co., and the Citizens Light. Heat and Pow CT Company. which has been waged tn the various courts of Montgomery County for the past six months, broke out afresh yesterday in the City Court in Equity.
 For two months. the war had lag ged, the participants retiring to their winter quarters, but yesterday 1t re- opened with renewed vigor. Motions to dismiss amended bills, demurrerS and motions to dissolve injunctions were used in attacks and counter at tacks on the possession of the poles or the Montgomery Light and Water Pow CT Company on the Moses building cor ner.
 The history of this controversy is more familiar to Montgomerians than the successive steps in the struggle in the Far East. The Citizens Light. Heat and Power Co, having obtained g. franchise to do business in Montgom- cry, was granted the right by the City Council of Montgomery to string It's wires on certain poles of the Mont gomery Light and Water Power Com- pany by paying a suitable compensa- tion therefor. One of these poles was the big pole on the corner of Montgom- cry and Commerce Streets. The Mont gomery Light and Water Power Com pany sought to prevent this by apply ing for an injunction before Judge A. D. Sayre in the equity court on the ground that the stringing of any more wires on this pole would endanger hu- man lives. The temporary injunction was granted and yesterday the case was submitted for decree on motion by the Citizens Company to dismiss the amended bill of the old company for want of equity, on demurrer to the amended bill and on motion to dis solve the injunction.
 Other cases disposed of yesterday were as follows:
 H. Alexander vs. Mrs. Rosa Marcus. submitted for decree on pleading and proof.
 Isaac HoIlms vs. Louisa Hollms, sub mitted for decree on pleading and proof. Taylor Fields vs. Henrietta Fields. dismissed without prejudice.
 Laura Cobbs vs. Nose Cobbs, dis missed without prejudice
 Peter King vs. Alice King, dismissed for want of prosecution.
 John Mcdaniel vs. Emma Mcdaniel, dismissed without prejudice.
 Julia J. Mcclure vs W. c. Mo- Guire. decree pro confesso on personal service.
 w. M. Baskin vs. Maggie Baskin. decree of publication as to defendant. whose residence Is unknown.
 No cases are set for hearing today.

CANS WINS
F|ST|C BOUT
Colored Man Gets Decision
on Two Fouls. Money
Divided.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. L.
Rough estimate OF the receipts Of the
Cans Britt fight last night place the
amount at about 5000. The pugi-
lists will divide equally their share,
as according to the previous agree
ment Britt was to receive fifty per
cent In event he lost, and ~ per
cent if winner The foul which Britt
committed in stfickng Cans when
he was down in the fifth round was
evidently unintential and was com.
mitted in the excitement of the mo.
ment. However as he had, struck
at Gems when the latter was down In
the fourth, thus committing a tech
nical foul, majority Of the people
are satisfied this morning that the
decision against Britt was just, al
though he had the best OF the con-
test. Even Butt himself acknowl-
edges the decision was just and says
he would like to meet Cans again.
1t is not likely the colored man will
make weight for him again as he was
not himself at 1873 pounds.
The description of the fight by
rounds follows:
Ringside--At 500 o'clock the gal
lery was crowded to suffocation and
at $3.50 holders of reserved seats oc-
cupied every chair on the lower
floor.
Young Corbett and Battling Mel
SON who are matched to fight In this
city on November 20 next, were
among these present and each express
ses his desire to meet the winner OF
tonight's contest.
Young Corbett jumped into the rine
as soon as Cans appeared and issued
challenge to the winner.
Cans appearance was none too in
viting, his face looked pinched and
drawn and his general appearance
showed plainly the effects OF hard
training.
After weighing in, the men retired
TO their quarters.
They re-entered ring at 9:35 and
went TO their corners.
Britt had both arms bound with
tape, particularly his right arm
Cans arms we're free OF bandages
At 9:40 Referee Graney sent the
principals to the center Of the ring
and they were photographed by flash
light
9:46 +. Milne called.
Round Britt went at once into
his crouch and then they spared foI
some time. Britt shot his left twice
in succession to Cans body, but Were
not forcible. After some more sparr
ing Britt hooked his left TO body again
and followed il with right to head
Both then missed rights and lefts fol-
head. Cans followed Britt around
and cleverly blocked two lefts and

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 29.-Some-
thing new under the sun is the 81
Ionis Pike. There was one glory
of the Midway in Chicago another
glory of Old Paris at the French exosi-
tion, but there is greater glory OF
the Pike. No denizen Of the historic
bailiwick which gave the name to the
famous amusement street OF the 1air
could ever have been more smoothly
faxed than are the wise and the other
wise who take in the sights OF the
Pike. No member of the Munchausen
tribe ever intented more alluring and
specious tales than do the spielers
who make the air vocal most any time
of the day or night on the Pike. NO
crowd ever took such dear delight in
being sold as do the throngs that
course ceaselessly through the howl
ing tumult of the great thoroughfare.
For long mile the Pike concessions
extend on both sides Of wide street.
Structures of all sizes and shapes and
plans cover every available foot OF
space. A score of brass bands crash
their ,loudest; musical instruments,
representative of all the people OF
the earth, and some that represent
nothing or nobody, vie for hearing;
giant megaphones saw the noisy air
with articulate sounds, big-voiced an
nouncers plead with the people for
their own interest not to miss see
ing the very finest attraction the
world has ever produced; there are
the biggest and the littlest, the wild
est and the tamest, the cleverest and
the dullest men and horses and mon
keys that ever existed; there are
dancers from many lands, reproduc-
tions of the Creation with terrifying
accompaniment. glimpses OF the here

scenes in India and Morocco, China
and Japan, Rome and Paris, Constan,
tinople and Hades; there are flights
in the circumambient atmosphere and
voyages over and under the sea
there are trips to the center of the
earth and to the North Pole; there
are Indian villages and Wild West

on scenic railways and illusions and
disillusions without number.
Specimens of almost everything
that is odd in humanity are put for
ward to encourage the people to pass
the man at the ticket wicket. And
while the bands play, and announcers
shout and the painted maidens dance
and the megaphones roar, the great
crowds course up and down the high
way, pausing before this or that at
traction to listen to the voice OF the
ingratiating orator; perhaps to be
drawn within the tolls by the Admis-
sion Free sign, perhaps to pay the
dime which leads to the privilege
of quarter or half little fur
ther ON. But while the shows all
seem to be doing thriving business
at all times, the crowds in the street
never diminish. The visitors all ad-
ore the Pike-fakes, uproar, discord-
ant music and all.
II the Pike is an hilarious, happy
crowded theatre by day, it is seeth-
ing witches cauldron by night
Every tinsel palace and gaudy theatre
flames with brilliant electric lights,
the thoroughfare is sea Of white
light on the shores of which rise
hundreds of quaint structures, each
outlined in dazzling flame. The
shouting of the announcers and the
blare of trumpets are augmented by
the hilarious crowds who yell and
blow horns as in thronging thousands
they press through the shining sea.
The mad spirit of mirth and joyance
seizes everyone who passes the gates
after nightfall. And yet with all the
tumultous tendancy to celebrate there
seems to be no inclination to license
| or undue liberty. Many an evening
during the summer as many as hun
dred thousand people have passed
| down the Pike.
While a trip down the Pike itself
! is doubtless worth more than Wis

/ number of the concessions are well
worth seeing Foremost are the

five infants and long series of other
grave crimes. In accordance with
German law she has been sentenced
five times TO death. once for each
murder. For perjury and forgery she
was sentenced to sixty years penal
servitude. Another curious pendant
to her sentence was the loss Of honor
for the remainder of her natural life.
The details OF the trial were revolt
ing In the extreme. proving the wo
man TO be a monster Of iniQuity.
The story OF her career is one Of
the most revolving in the criminal
annals OF the empire. It appeared
from the evidence given at the trial
that she was born in Hanover. In
1859, her maiden name being Berke-
field. After somewhat checkered
career In her native province. where
several prosecutions and imprison-
ments for illegal and impos-
ture had rendered it impossible for
her to carry on her calling of mid
wife, she moved to Hamburg, rent,

the fashionable thoroughfares. Here
she established herself as profes-
sional foster.mother.
Her method Of procedure was TO in
