'i‘nld to~hlm,."l should put our plague
patients out of'thelr misery; it would
have~ them from having recourse to
opium to soothe them." "But my duty
is" to make them live," replied Larrey.
Bonaparte then revealed the grim
truth. He and his staff were reduced
to traveling on foot because the bore-
es were All being used for the trans
portation of the sick. He must. there-
fore, either abandon the plague
: streken to the cruelty of the enemy or
get rid of them: Mr. Waas maintains
‘ that" the order was carried out accord-

STAMFORD. August 26.-—~Guilty of
breaking the Connecticut law against

 

Judge Downs In the City Court, yester-
day afternoon. in the case of Arthur

Gotthllf, of Bridgeport, and James Pro-
kos of bowell, Mass., the wrestlers
who engaged In a match hers. Wednes~
day night. George Manes and Peter
Vanech, managers for Prokos. were
also found guilty of aiding and abet-
ting. All were put under bonds of
11,000 for trial before the BpperIor
Court. Up to noon Vanech was the
only one who had secured a bondsrnan.
Judge Downs's decision ls fraught
with interest to s rtsmen. it is be-
lieved to be the rst case on record
where the principals in a wrestling
match were charged with priaefight-
Ing. Heretofore wrestling has been
regarded as a legitimate sport when
' conducted with proper license and au-
pervision. in this case a license had
been issued by Mayor Cummings, but
there was evidence given that went
to show blows were struck and there
was a feeling between the principals.
The articles of agreement, signed
by both principals and by Vancch and
Manes and a man named Janliotte.
were also introduced in evidence. The
articles set forth that the match was
for 50 per cent. of the gate "receipts.
and also provided a forfeit of 826 If
either of the contestants were over
weight.

Statement from Judge Downs.

in a' statement, yesterday afternoon,
following the disposition of the cases.
Judge Downs said:

"Worcester defines a prise-fight as
‘the practice of fighting for a prize.’
,The American and English Encyclo-
pedia of Law says: "The term prize-
light has no technical legal meaning.
and is used in Its Common significa-
tion to indicate a fight In a public
place for a prize or reward."

"These parties had a license from
Mayor Cummings for a wrestling ex-
hibition to' be conducted In such a
manner as not to violate the law. Bey.
er’al witnesses testified that there was
before the comineneement of the con-
test, and throughout It, indications of
anger and hard feelings between these
two principals. and that blows were
actually struck, once with the fist and
once by butting with the head. and
that one. of the contestants raised his
list to sirlkc the other and was stop-
ped by the referee. The witnesses al-
so testified that at the commencement
or the contest Prokos attracted the at-
icuilon of the referee toward the floor.
and asking ‘What Is that?’ and while
the referee's attention was thus diveri'
ed ducked his head and butted the
other man in the abdomen. After Gott-
hllf had been knocked or forced off Ihe
stage. and had fallen on Ihc floor of
the hall. some four feet below. he.
called out to kill Prokos, using an ob-
ceno and profane epithet which was
taken up and repeated by several spec-
tators iu the rear of the hall in the
form of a somewhat general demand
to .II Prokos. Tile testimony showr-d
that it required the efforts of eight
ofilccrs to restore order and preveni.
a general rough-and-Iumbie light. The
seconds of Ihe two contestants Were
cautioned by the police more than
once before the match was stopped.
“in my view of the law. a prize-
tight Is not necessarily a fight; with
the fists, but. as defined by several au-
thorities, Is a light for a reward or
prise, In a public place,- ,e.nd, Inf view
of the breach of peace occasioned by
the.cquuct of the two principals. l
considered they should beheld to an-
syer to the charge of prise-fighting
which the law has always regarded its
a serious menace to the peace of the
community. and In many Jurisdictions
is punished with very severe penalty
In this state ’by imprisonment of not
more than five years. Chapter in? of

The Public Acts of 1003 provides that
'a contest in which blows are struck
with intent to stun. disable or knock
out. either of the contests shall be
deemed a prise-light within the mean-
ing of auction l282 of the General
Btulustoo.‘ This last mentioned sec-
tion merely provides a penalty for
fighting. relying upon the common-law
interpretation of the term.
"In this case there was positive evi-
dence of a blow which did sins and

While i am heartily in favor of all

he be formally accused of It. The evi-
dence he would produce In defence
would be to the effect that he went to
bed early, and was there at the time
the fire broke out. ,

There seems no question that Com-
erford and the Ferrises had quarreied,
that Comerford was thrashed by the
younger Ferris. and that he had
threatened to "get square." These
circumstances. however. would be re-
iher filmsy foundations to sustain a
charge of arson.

At. the time of the barn-burning of
Tuesday night, it is understood, Depu-
ty Sheriff Bitch of Greenwich had In

ford‘s arrest. He had been quietly In-
vestigatlng the earlier fire. but what
evidence, It any,.he"had against Com-
erford Is not disclosed.
The suspected map. seems to be un-
popular with a number of people In the
neighborhood, and (in the excitement
over the death of ’Mr. Ferris. and the
general supposition that the fire was
the work of an incendiary, the dis—
putes between the parties sevorai
weeks ago were exaggerated.
One thing reasonably sure, howev-
er. Is that neither fire was the result
of accident. The theory of arson is
generally accepted.‘ it Is “up to” the
Greenwich authorities to discover, if
they can. who set the barns on fire.
Constables Schlechtweg and Ocfin-
ger have discovered new evidence in
the case which may go a long ways
towards clearing up the mystery. It is
said the evidencedoes not connect
Comerford with Tuesday night‘s fire.

WAYS AT ALL TIMES.

THE FUTURE COAL SUPPLY.

For a number of years the question
of the probable duration of the avaii~
able coal supplies In Great Britain has
been seriously discussed, and the mat-
ter has been referred to a royal com-
mission of eminent engineers and
specialists for Investigation and report.
The final report of this distinguished
body Is a matter of much interest In
engineering and commercial bodies In
all parts of the world, giving. as it
goes, some definite and authoritative

Eta.

Taking 4,000 feet as the practical
working depth limit, the investigators
find that the proved coal fields of
Great Britain still ‘contain about 100.-
000.000,000 tons of coal. of which about
80 per cent. is in seams of two feet
thick and upward. The average annual
output at the present time Is about
230,000,000 tons, while the‘annual In-
crease is about 2.6 per cent. Under
these conditions there is coal available
for three to four hundred years to
come, even if no improvements In
methods of winning and using are re-
veloped.

There has been a continual improve-
ment in steam engine economy. while
the introduction of gas engines and
central power stations of high efficien-
cy will go far to reduce the wastes of
earlier methods. it Is believed that
the substitution of the best modern
methods of obtaining energy fromfuei
would result In a possible saving of
about one-fourth the present annual
consumption. and this alone would ma-

AN HONOR TO THE BANANA.

The banana Is having Its annual In-
ning as a delicate food. Just about
this time every year we may expect
the banana to bob up serenely in the
newspapers, with a learned dector's ad-
monition to eat all the bananas you
possibly can, because of their high
nutriti qualities. A few years ago
we were Informed that there was as
much nulrlment In a banana as In an
ordinary biscuit and 20 times as much
as In a boarding house biscuit: Last
year the chemist declared that one
pound of bananas contained as much
nutribent as 20 pounds of wheat. Now
comes the information that the banana.
If taken In sufficient quantities. will
kill the thirst for alcoholic drinks.
Thus the banana ‘s'weeps forward on
Its useful career, each year becoming
more and more a benefactor to‘ the
race. The bananas should be elected
to honorary membership in the W. C.
T. U.—Portland Oregonian.

And a draw that was quicker;
