FIGHT between WHALES
AND MAN EATING A
Captain jameson, of Steamer Amelia,
Reports Fierce Struggle in
Southern Waters.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Captain jane
son of the fruit steamer Amelia, just
in from southern waters, has brought
the best fish story SO far told this
season.
When two days out from Port An
tonic the lookout reported a strange
disturbance dead ahead. Captain jam
eson took the steamer in hand, and
approaching cautiously, found a fight
raging between four whales and two
~man-eating sharks. There was a ter
rife flashing of the water, and the ma
rine fight spread for hundreds of feet
across the path of the fruiter.
Six times Captain Jameson was forced
to bring his ship to a stop to avoid
striking the monsters, who paid no
heed to the steamer, and finally he had
to make a wide turn so that he could
proceed.
When last seen the fighters were still
hard at it, with h sharks apparently
having a little better of the fight.

ENGLISH SYSTEM
BETTER THAN OURS?
F. r. Coudert Says That American
Judiciary Is Inferior to
English System.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6-Frederick r.
Coudert. of the firm of Coudert Brothers.
who have an international reputation as
lawyers. has Just returned from a visit
to Europe convinced that a comparison of
the judicial systems of England and
France with that of the United States
would result rather unfavorably to the
American system.
He saws his views apply to our State,
not to our Federal judiciary. He believes
American JUICES to be men of pronounced
common sense. but they often fall short
In qualifications for their positions. This
lack he attributes TO politics and to the
upheavals in the judiciary whenever there
Is an election. In England. he says. the
life tenure of the judges make for the
greatest technical ability. and politics do
not enter into The question Of appoint
ments at all.

PATENT FIGHT
OVER POLICE
STATION
Notice Served on Police
Commission That Rights
Are Infringed.

It is alleged by w. W. Schouler, the
holder of patents for a flooring for
horse stalls, that the flooring being laid
in the new First Precinct police station,
at the corner of Court and Washington
streets, is an infringement on the
patent rights held by him, and formal
notice was given today by former AS
semblyman Russell NJ. Everett, counse
for Mr.. Schouler, that the Infringement
must cease and that the work now
done must be removed, or the COM
pany obtain a license from Mr.. Schouler
to proceed.
Members of the police commission,
Hurd & Sutton, the architects on the
building; William H. Connolly, the
contractor; the Commonwealth Roofing
Company, the sub-contractors, VINO
have charge of the work of laying the
floors and building the stalls, and VIII
lam Spengler, superintendent for the
roofing company. were all served with
notices, the text of which was about
as follows:
"On behalf of NJ. w. w. Schouler,
of AS Clinton street, this city, desire
TO notify you that the stall floors be-
ing put in the new police station, cor
ner of Court and Washington streets,
are considered to be an infringement
of Mr.. Schouler's United States Paleht
No. 544,444, granted August 10, 1895.
you are accordingly hereby request
ed to desist and refrain from such Vlo-
Iations of Mr.. Schouler's exclusive
rights. either removing the work al
ready done or else making arrange
ments with Mr.. Schouler for license TO
leave 1t where it is. Kindly give the
matter your prompt attention, for I'M
less we hear from you without delay,
we shall have to take legal steps TO
protect Mr.. Schouler."
According to Mr.. Everett, Spengler
is the real offender. The specifications
of the building called for either
"SchouIer" or "Spengler' flooring. 1t
is claimed that MI. Spengler has a
flooring which is not patented, which
IL also an infringement on the rights
Of the complainant in this case, and
that the work now being done in the
Building is in many instances dissimi-
lar to the design of Spengler, being as
near like the flooring covered by
Schculer's patents as possible.
Tt is also asserted by Mr.. Everett
that his client stopped Spengler from
Infringing on his exclusive rights four
years ago. Unless some agreement is
reached, It Is probable that the COM
pletion Of the new police station will
be delayed by an action in the courts.

CANVASSER KILLED
BURDEN. COLLIER AGENT
TRAIN VICTIM.
wife in Brooklyn, I~nquiring About Him,
Learns of Sudden Death
in This City.

George Burden. 90 years old. of 13t
First place, Brooklyn, employed as q
book agent by the Collier Company,
vas Instantly killed yesterday after
noon, at the Hawkins street crossing
of the Central Railroad. The body was
removed to Mullen's morgue in Lafay-
cite street.
1t was said at the local office of the
Collier Company today that Burden,
who was an experienced agent, had
been working in this city about a week
and was ~canvassing the lower end of
the Twelfth Ward when he was killed.
Charles Holmes, the engineer of the
train that struck the man, saw Burden
on the tracks and blew mis- whistle.
Burden apparently did not realize his
danger until too late, and just as he
was about to get off the track the pilot
of the engine hit him and threw him to
one side.
The train a stopped and when the
crew examined the body they found
that Burden was just alive, but he
died in a few minutes. The Third Pre-
cinct police were notified and the body
was taken to the morgue.
County Physician Elliott examined
the body and found that death was due
to internal injuries and also a frac-
tHred skull. When examination of the
papers found in his pockets were made
several orders were found made out
to George Burden, of Rochester.
Burdens identity was finally estab-
lished this morning when his wife tele-
phoned from Brooklyn to the local office
of the Collier Company and wanted to
know why her husband had not re-
turned to Brooklyn last night.
She was informed that an accident
had happened to him, and then she
called up the morgue, and from the de-
s~cription she gave of her husband 1t
was found to correspond with that of
her husband.
Mrs. Burden said that n would
come to this city later in the day to
make arrangements to have the body
taken to Brooklyn for burial.

the Stage street police station arrived
and rescued him. Even then the man
tried to battle with the policemen who
held him.
Aterka was discharged from the fac
tory by Weissman,. who focused the
man of trying to incite a strike.
