 Baldwin was getting the worst of it. after the fight was fairly started. In rapid succession he acquired a black eye, a, bruised face, a cauli- flower ear and various other tokens of fistic battle. The crowd showed it's interest in the Stratford warrior thereafter by holding MouItrop whenever the tide was turning on his favor and allowing Baldwin to pum- mel him. After the fight a, collection of $3 was taken up and given to Baldwin.

grounds this paper says. Our own views on the matter are these:
 Cotton is more necessary for pur- poses of war than any other article of commerce, and it passes our compre- hension how it ever came to be put on the free list
 The Guardian deprecaUes the sug- gestfon that England should buy the American crop if cotton should be de- cIared contraband, arguing that in case loss must be suffered the Ameri- can growers should be the chief suf- ferers When cotton was contraband during the Civil War, it adds, no one bought a supply to relieve the famine in Manchester.

MANIAC ON FERRY ATTACKS VICTIM WITH A RATCHET
Terrorizes Women and Chil- dren on Way From Fort
 Lee, ,Brandishing Weapon

New York, Aug. 12.-A madman armed with a fathers hatchet caused terror among the thousand and more passengers on the ferryboat Edgewa- ter of the Fort Lee line, at 6:30 o'clock last night when the boat was nearing it's Manhattan slip at West One Hundred and iThirtieth street.
 Many women and children who had passed the day along the Palisades were on the Edgewater, and they fled screaming to the cabins and covered while the rnadman stalked the front deck of the EdgeWater, brandishing his keen -b1aded weapon.
 On the starboard side of the for ward deck were standing Stephen Mahoney, twenty-six, of No. 158 East Forty-fifth street. his brother, John, of No. 1768 Second avenue, and Michael Fleming of No. 1883 Park avenue.
 SIashcd Passengers Head.
 Without warning the insane man leaped toward Stephen Mahoney and swung the hatchet upon the right side of the young mans head, cutting off the upper part of his ear and inflict- ing a deep gash in Mahoney's face. Mahoney's brother and Fleming rushed at the man, but he held them off with swee ping blows of the hatchet, none of which did damage. Then he faced the crowd on deck,
  suddenly rushed toward them. Panic followed, during which the Captain of the Edgewater increased the boats speed and entered the slip blowing a 1 distress whistle.
 When the Edgewater approached the float Sergt. Hamill and Police man Ford of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station 1eaped aboard. The 1unatic rushed at Han1i1l, brandishing the hatchet, but the ser geant's nightstick struck the man a Ecracking blow on the wrist and knock ed it from his hand.
 Hamin and Ford, assisted by Ma 1 honey's brother and Fleming, over l powered the man..
 l Called His Victim a Foe
 stephen Mahoney was taken to the | Knickerbocker hospital by Dr. Pa tulla, while pr. Frescolla, also of the 1 Knickerbocker hospital, attended Ma ! honey's assailant.
 That fellow said the prisoner, re- ferring to Mahoney, was always fol- lowing me around and making me lose my jobs.''
 l The prisoner said his name was Luke Malloney, his occupation that l oe a lather; that he was single and {, had no home. pr. FrescoIla diagnosed 1 his case as one of paranoia. and had I him sent to the observation ward at Bellevue Hospital. stephen Mahoney said he had never seen Ma1loney be- Efore. f

RECOLLECTIoNsa OF THOROUGH
 HAIIp

Old residents of the East End have old memories awakened when passing No. 6 Engine house on SeaView ave- nue, near the railroad crossing. In borough times Sit was the Borough Han,'' court house, jail, etc. There was a hall on the upper foor,- but this was used very little except by clubs dur ing a national campaign. The court of burgesses held meetings in the basement until the place became too damp for the purpose and then the meeting place was changed to the hall oM the first floor. Caucuses were also held in this room and Justice trials also. Many a lively caucus is re- membered by older residents.
 The late Charles L. Beach, Alfred Beers, Capt. William Lewis, Wheeler Haw1ey, Farrell O'Reilley, H. G.. B. Cuzner, l.. B. Vaill and many others were participants and kept the warden or chairman busy wrestling parlia- mentary problems. Their debates, however, were always of a gentleman ly character. Often a slate would be made up in a store, parlor or kitchen and would be successful at the polls without the for1nality of a, caucus.
 During the borough's corporate ex- istence there was but one veto by the warden. N~ This was by Samuel Fray, the last warden, who refused to ap- prove the appointment of John Reilly as chief of the Borough Fire Depart ment. The appointment was finally carried, in spite of the veto, but soon after the borough passed out of ex- istence.
