In the’caso of Wescott & Wilcox agt Chase--a landlord and tenant case—before Judge Montgomery yesterday, the question as to whether a woman could testify for or against her busband was raised. The plaintiff made “LET NO ONE ESCAPE.” A Sunday Morning Prize Fight Inter- rupted by the Police. “TEASE JAMES.” THE BLACK CHAMPION, AND LEE DAMERIN FIGHT THREE LIVELY ROUNDs—a RAID ANIMA STAMPEDE WHILE THE FOURTH 16 IX PROGESSS—TO THE POLICE COURT. Astampede toward the front door, a cry of “halt” from Sergeant Boyle and the command “let no one escape” was the sudden termina- tion of the prize fight which was in progrest at Will Northedge’s saloon on ith street last Sunday morning when the officers of the first precinct, under the command of Sergeants Boyle and Montgomery. rushed in. After the sparring exhibition at Kernan’s Sag- urday night the devotees of the fistic art were given the tip that there would #e a fight toa finish with small gloves at the above-named placejustafter midnight, It lacked five min- utes of Sunday morning when a Star reporter entered thesaloon. He found nothing unusual about the place except that quite a gathering of the local sports were there discussing the merits of the English So week Fielden, who had just succeeded in besting Billy Young. the clever map weight from Baltimore. The clock behind the bar had scarcely finished striking 12 when the p tor announced that it was time to close. is announcement had the effect of getting rid of those who were bs norant of the entertainment which was shortly to take place.’ A TRANSFORMATION SCENT. No sooner bad the doors been closed than the scene inside developed into one of bustle and excitement. Men forsook the har, chairs were vacated and the pool table was deserted. The objective point was the rear of the building, where a space about 18 by 24 feet had been cleared of everything save two chairs placed diametrically opposite each other, and here the crowd savombled, ere was no waitin the Broceedings, for sou a man stood in the mid- je of the floor and announced that there was “a-goir’ to be a serap between Jesse James, | dar! weight, and Lee Damerin, a feller as wants to be a fighter,” aud that as the men were “not a doin’ it for fan,” all present were “expected to chip in a little hacer! Oa for a purse.” The hat was accordingly passed around and upward of ¢9 collected. Once more the same orator stood in the middle of the space and in- troduced the fighters something after this style: “Gentermen, I want te muke yer ‘quinted wid Jesse James, de black weight champion.” As he gesticulated toward the door a shiny black man was seen elbowing his way through the crowd. He was naked to the waist, After bowing his ackcowledgments in rather an awk- ward manner he took one of the chairs, while the crowd applauded. “Stop that noise! Do you want de coppers in here?” asked the master of ceremonies, ‘"eause if yer do some more noise like that'll fetch ‘em, sure.” There was silence in court after this and Damerin, the other contestant, was introduced. TRE FIGHT. After the customary handshaking time was calledand both men sét to work to win the nine dollars. The first round passed off with- out any advantage to either, as both were cau- tious. in the second round they warmed to their work and some rattling close fighting ensued, The third round was hot from its commence- ment, and as both men took their seats at the call of time the sports were all congratulating themselves on the fact that they were going to see a good mill, ‘They were doomed to disap- pointment, however, for hurdly had the fourth round commenced when the rear windows were smashed in and on Boyle with a posse of blue coats entere THE STAMPEDE. Then followed such a stampede as is rarely witnessed, With » mad rush as though run- ning for their lives the crowd surged toward the front door, overturning stoves, pool tables and everything in their way. The nien seemed wild and all bent upon escaping by the front door. Some fell by the way, but the crowd rushed on, until brought to sudden halt by the presence of Sergeant Montgomery and a squad of officers who were there to cut off retreat in that direction. The officers in their uniforms surrounding the excited crowd of men formed a striking tableau. For a moment all was quiet aud the dim light threw a strange ghost-like ap- pearuce upon the occupants of the room. Ser- geant Moutgomery broke the silence by detail- ing the men to search the apartments over- head and prevent escape from the windows. Inu the meantime the officers had secured one of the fighters, the proprietor of the house and halt a dozen wituesses. But where was Jewse James, the other contestant? He had disap- peared as mysteriously as though he had melted into air, COOLING OFF. Sergeant Montgomery found him later, with his backer, cooling off in the ice chest, where they had secreted themselves. The two were dragged from their novel hiding place amidst the laughter of the interested spectators. It was after 1o’elock when the strange assemblage broke up—the eticers allowing all to go suve the principals, the proprietor of the pluce and six witnesses, whom they formed in line and marched around to the station house. where a charge of affray was placed against the fighters and the charge of keeping a disorderly house against the proprietors. ‘The witnesses | were released on ir own recognizance to appear at the Police Court this moruing. Much } credit is due Sergeants Loyle and Montgomery for the manner in which they conducted the raid. Nothing could have been better arranged, pean me Mase Order of Chosen Friends.

From the Pall Mall Gazette, ‘The draft prospectus of the Parents’ National educational union now lies before us, On the council are the names of five bishops and their wives, the customary list of benevolent peers | and peeresses, and not a few genuine teachers and educators besides. The prospectus sets forth that while all other bodies of workers, whether of hand or brain, enjoy the help and Profit of association, yet parents, with the re- sponsibility of the world’s future resting upon thera, are left to do their work, each pair by themselves, rarely getting so much as a word of'ympathy, counsel or encouragement.

It is too literary. The Hubbites yearn for the flesh pots of Egypt. They are tired of beans and brown bread. They are weary of being prim. Nothing demonstrates this so effectually as the founding of an organization known as ‘The Wharf Rats.” The membership is made up of the greatest swells in town. But the place of meeting is in a loft over a store, where there are no decora- tions wort! mentioning on the board walls and where the black ceiling beams are hung with Cobwebs, Here the members meet to present each other with German toys and other fol-d rols, Here they cut up shines and play high jinks.
