Making New Walk.

A new cement walk is being laid in
the area way on the east side of the
sheriff's residence on High avenue
East. The former construction of
the walk was such that permitted the
collection and holding of water which
found its way down along the wall OF
the adjoining building on the east
causing annoyance and damage. The
old walk is being removed and will
be replaced by walk that will carry
the drainage to the street.

THE MILLS OF JUSTICE
Troubles of People Sifted Through
Court Hoppers.

Mike Gallagher, charged with ntoXf
cation and disorderly conduct, was ar
rested Tuesday afternoon by Constable
Ed Henley and this morning settled
with Squire Woodruff for $3.50 tine
and costs. Gallagher was accostlng
women and following them. He would
step in front of them, raise his hat
and stare into their faces. The mans
acts had been noted by Officer Henley.
Henry McNally, of Brooklyn, was with
Gallagher end he also was intoxicated
He and Gallagher had been "buddies"
together during their spree. When
Gallagher was taken in custody McNal-
ly thought the officer had him before
the mayor. He made his way to the
city headquarters to vouch for his
friend and to explain that they meant
no harm, only having a little fun
When he entered the office he found
only policeman of whom he made in
.quiry concerning his friends welfare.
Officer George Andrews noted the fell
lows condition and believing him I'M
fit to be at large upon the street or to
care for himself, took him to jail. Be-
ing without funds with which to pay
a fine this morning, the man was given
a couple of days work on the streets.
Rosa Porterfield filed information
against Clark H. Adams for shooting
and killing a coach dog which she val
ues at fifty dollars. M. Adams did not
care to have the dog trespassing upon
his property and claimed that the an
imal tormented and terrified his little
girl. He did not propose to be thus
annoyed and put an end to doggy's
career. Rosa claims that the dog was
not bothersome, that it was a pup and
not dangerous. She said she kept it
in the house almost all of the time,
letting it loose but once day to run
about a little in the street and near
her home. The case will be disposed
of later.
Emanuel Pickles, of Blyth, was in
town yesterday and imbibed too freely
of that which lessons the distance and
increases the conversation. He was
found by the police and little later
the mayor found his pocketbook for
l$485 and Pickles went his way.

NEW RECORDS IN
 WALKING MATCH

New York, March 9.-After having gamely struggled all the afternoon to catch P. J. Dineen and w. F. Prouty, the Boston team in the six-day go-as- you please race at Madison Square Gar den, by wonderful burst of speed, Louis Orphee, of the French team, took a lead of two laps over the Americans shortly after midnight
 All records for the "A hours went by the board 10 minutes before midnight when Dineen had covered 165 miles and one lap.
 With seven laps between him and the Frenchman, Dineen plugged me- thodfcally along, but Orphee then be- gan pressing him. Suddenly the Frenchman opened with wonderful burst of speed and clrcled around and around the track amid plaudits of the spectators, gradually creeping up on the American. Dineen pressed forward gamely, but the Frenchman would not be denied, and at 1920 he passed the Boston runner, and then circled the track again and again until he ob- tained an advantage of two laps over him.
 The score at 1 o'clock was:
 Cibot and Orphee. 171.0.
 Dineen and Prouty, 100.

EXCITING GAME
 OF PISTOL DUELS

New York, March S.-(Special.) )-New York, the city of surprises, had added to it's list of innovations a game. pasume or exercise which is proving one or sne biggest sensations that the sporting word has seen in a long time. It is dueilfng with the danger practically avoided.
 Wax bullets solve the problem, but the rest of the implements used are the same that in France serve to vindicate ''honaire" whenever that valuable asset has been besmirched.
 In effect the game as the partlcl- pants please to call it consists of the duelists standing s5 feet apart, aiming duelling pistols loaded with powder and wax bullets at each other and then fir ing at some vital spot When the bull let strikes it's softness serves to ie. it smash against the clothing without :n- ficting any mark and no pain with the exception of sharp sting.
 The excitement lies in the facing of the forbidding muzzles of revo.ver, seeing the flash of flame and smoke, and feeling the pellet hit you. The oo- ject of the game" is to teach the play
 
 craftsmanship.
 The duelling is going on every day in the New York Athletic club under ,.e supervision of Professor James Murray, the fencing instructor of the club, and also of the New York university. He is assisted by MT. G. K. Bainbridge, cap tain of the fencing team of the New York Athletic club.
 The game" was only introduced nere a few weeks ago but it caught on at once. The class now numbers 30 men, some of whom are prominent in socIety, and who claim they have found a di- version that rivals the excitement of motor boat and automobile racing.
 For the benefit of a reporter Pro- lessor Murray and Captain Bainbridge fought" duel in the clubs gymnas.um that was realistic to high degree. TO protect themselves from injury from the waxen pellets the duelsts wear a reg ulation fencing mask and a shield over the trigger Of the pistol to protect their hands from bullets that go wide of tse mark.
 There was flash and spiteful rwin bark as the pistols were fired. Professor Murray discovered that he had been in stantly killed by his opponent by beng struck on the forehead, while Cap:aln Bainbridge was equally dead" -av- ing had wax spattered on his coa, over the place where his heart rested.
 Professor Murray was enthusiastic over the new game" and said:
 This sham duelling Is much better than target practice in enabling men to learn quick judgment of sight and good marlxsmanship. I discovered the prac- tice in France where it was invented by Dr. De Vller, a well known marksman and fencing teacher. Everybody is so.-,g crazy over the sport over there ana I expect to see as much enthusiasm .l this country after the game becomes better known
 When asked if he thought that .ne game might bring about real due,:-ng fever in the United States the professor laughed and replied:
 oh, no, I don't think so. Americans
