RESULT OF A ROW.
Howard Dove Insensible From Blow
Administered by John Nick.

Howard Dove of Brentwood returned to
his home Saturday with blood flowing from
several ugly wounds in his head. and he
was so weak he could scarcely get into his
room. 1t was stated that he had engaged
in a fight with John Nick of Bladensburg.
According to the injured mans statement,
he met Nick in Bladensburg about IL clock
Saturday evening and was invited to take
a drink, which invitation he declined. He
started for home, and several times OBJ
served that the man was following him.
When he reached Capt. Bartletts home
on Hill street. Brentwood, near the electric
railway tracks, he says, he warned NICK
not to follow him, and requested young
man who was passing TO go for Constable
Payne. Dove declares that he sat down
on the roadside, and almost Immediately re-
ceived blow from Nick which sent him
into dreamland. He did not recover con-
seriousness until Constables Wallace A. Ray
bold and Robert l.. Payne aroused him
about twenty minutes later.
Nick subsequently went to the District
line and told the officers what had hap
pened. His statement of the cause lead
ing to the affair differs from that told by
Dove. He states that Dove and he had a
quarrel and Dove thrust revolver under
his nose, declaring that he was an officer
revolver out of Doves hand and sent him
sprawling with a swing on the jaw. He
left Dove lying where he had dropped him
and went to notify the officers.
Dove states that he does not want TO
prosecute Nick and this leads the officers
to believe that Dove might have been par
TALLY responsible for his damaged condition.

sterdam, now New York Coy Peter
Stuyvesant of the Holland conoly refused
to allow them to land at first but as the
Dutch West Indies Company, of which he
was a servant, had sent him strict orders
to allow them to land, he was compelled to
do SO. 1t appears that among the stock
holders of the West Indies Company were
several influential Jews
In addition to this the former f1ourishing
Dutch colonies in Brazil had been dissolved
after the Dutch lost their cause there to the
Portuguese. In these colonies the Hebrews
had been important factors. but were COM
PEELED to leave because of the religious in
tolerance of the victorious Portuguese. And
further, the West Indies Company recog-
niZed in these Jewish coloniSts useful ele-
ment for the cultivation and development of
the newly acquired soil in New Amsterdam.
Hence the tWenty-three Hebrews were land
ed in this country $50 years ago and formed
the nucleus of the present large population
of that race that are now citizens of Uncle

NO SCARCITY OF COAL.
Sufficient Quantity in Storage to Meet
Emergencies.

Prominent coal dealers of Washington
were interviewed by a reporter of The Star
this morning and the opinion generally ex-
pressed was that the inability of the coal
carrying roads to furnish cars will not
cause a scarcity of coal in the city this
winter. Dealers say enough has been stored
away during the past three months to meet
any emergency.
Apprehension is felt in some quarters
that a general strike may follow the ex-
pirate of the agreement between the min
ers on April l. but it is said that the large
quantities of coal now stored would be
sufficient TO meet such a contingency. The
coal dealers do not conStrue the termlna-
ton OF this agreement as meaning that a
strike will take place. The fact that the
railroad facilities are being taxed to their
uttermost to supply the demand Is only
taken to mean that the railroads de-
sirous of being prepared for an emergency.
