ENGINEERS LOOK
 OVER THE GROUND
 IN FAIRFIELD AVE.
Southport and Norwalk
 Cars to Run Through State Street Temporarily

Engineers from the Connecticut Go. looked over the trolley tracks, of the company in Fairfield avenue, today, with City. Engineer Terry to decide where to lay the crossovers, prepara- tory to tearing up the tracks so that the city can start it's sewer construe- tion work. It is expected that a gang of men will be at work tomorrow to rip up the south tracks
 This will be received as good news among the property owners in Fair field avenue, as it indicates that at least some start has been made. The Paving and Sewer Commission will meet tomorrow night and open bids for the contract to put in the sewer in Fairfield avenue from Broad to COurtland streets
 One crossover was laid west of Courtland street. There is already a crossover nearly opposite the Atlas Hotel and this will serve the purpose.
 The following was issued today from the office of Trolley Superintendent Charles H. Chapman:
 Effective Friday, July 12, on ac- count of taking up the track in Fair field avenue to allow for laying of city sewer, the Norwalk and South port cars will run via State street, both coming in and going out of the city. Ash Creek and Fairfield cars will continue to run via Fairfield ave- nue."

Hot Weather Argument
 On Matrimony Leads Two
 Men to Police Station

si Brinks, 6S Lexington avenue, a driver on Burns & Co.'S sprinkling carts, and Dan Allston, an oysterman. both negroes, got into rough and tumble fight in Lexington avenue this noon.
 ;Brinks is about to wed. Allston did not share his rosy views of matri- mony, and when he cast aspersions on the fair sex, Brinks took his re- marks as a personal affront.
 Brinks pounded Allston with the cap of water shut-off, which he snatched up from the sidewalk, and when Allston began to get the better of the encounter he turned to run. Allston heaved the metal cap at him, caught him on the left side of the head, and laid his skull bare. About this time. Policeman Gregory and O'Neil appeared on the scene Both men were locked up, after Brinks' scalp was stitched at the Emergency hospital.

MAKES HIS LAST APPEAL Senate Floor and Galleries Tronged During Mov-
 ing Spectacle

Washington, July 11-with packed galleries and an attentive audience on the floor, Senator William LorimeH of Illinois, this afternoon, made his appeal before the Senate to retain his seat in that body. He closed the de- bate and for the second time made a personal defense of his right to sit in the Senate.
 x Lorimer was cool and collected and stock behind desk filtered by books, papers and notes. Maps and dia- grams formed exhibits which he had ready to use.
 Lorlmers speech of defense came earlier in the day than had been ex. pected. Two or three other Senators were scheduled to discuss the case but the general desire to reach vote led to a curtailment of the oratory.
 T will show that not one vote was corruptly cast for me-" declared Lori mer in opening his statement.
 The Senate was humbugged by my enemies into a second investigation, :, he continued. This is no joke. it is a serious matter. If the Senate de- cides to adopt the recommendation of the minority of the Investigating committee it will be a travesty on on legal procedure. It will mean that the Senate has decided to follow the red flag of anarchy and adopt the principle of that arch advocate recall of the judges and judicial decisions :
 Senator Lorimer followed immediate ly after Senator Reed and his first statement was a declaration of innoA Hcence of the charges of corruption in his election. He declared that, if the Senate did not adopt the res adjudi- cata plea, it would be a travesty on justice
 If that is to be the rule of law for the future, then God help this coun- try, he exclaimed. "If we had a law officer in Cook county who would prosecute violations of the law the knaYes and criminals who control the Chicago newspapers would be in the penitentiary. I will prove before I conclude that they should be thus punished.
 Lorimer traced an alleged conspiracy by which he said the owners of cer- tain Chicago newspapers in 1885 sought to ioot'' the school fund.
 ssThe net robbery by the Chicago Tribune, the Senator declared, was seventy odd thousand dollars a year. The lease runs for 90 years and the robbery alleged would aggregate $6.500. 900 at the end of that time.'
 Lorimer cited other figures which he said involved the Chicago Record Herald and declared s.Mr. Lawson would be in the penitentiary if the dis trict attorney would only prosecute him and if he wasn't owned by the press trust or Chicago"

HEAVY FINES FOR ALL
 PARTICIPANTS IN FOUR CORNERED SUNDAY FIGHT

Anthony and Nicholas Papalia, brothers, and Stephen Bayus, Sr., and Stephen Bayus, Jr., were fined $50 and costs each in the city court today when there came the aftermath of a four-cornered fight in Orchard street Sunday afternoon.
 Nicholas Papalia, who is cripple, and young Bayus were the first to fight. Then Nicholas brother. went to his rescue, and finally the elder Bayus hurried to the aid of his son. Bayus, ST., used a, baseball bat with such effect that the heads of the Pa palia brothers were well bandaged when they came to court today.
 Judge Foster ruled that whoever might have been responsible for the beginning of the fight. all used more than warranted force and he found all guilty of the charges of assault and breach of the peace. The Bayus people own the house tenanted by the Papalias, whose rent was raised, few days before the fight
