I LAW WELL REPRESENTED. Justices of the Peace, Constables, Mar ' shals and Chief See a Fight. Three boatmen,Jont for a good time, filled np on South Amboy whiskey and got rather quarrelsome among themselves while in one of the saloons, after which they started for their boats. Before they got to their boats they began wrangling again and just as they reached Game’s grocery store, began to fight and one of the men bit one man’s finger almost off, and another man in the cheek, it is said. It seems that both of the men had jumped at the other one for some cause not known. After standing their thumping for a while, he ran into Game’s store pur sued by the others with stones in their hands. Finding they could not get him out they left for their boats after reaching which they learned that the other man had left the store and gone up town again and they started in pursuit of him. They saw him several times while up town but did not molest him. During the fight a crowd of about seventy-five gathered and among them could have been found two justices of the peace, one constable, and three special marshals, and just as the fight had ended, np came another special marshal and soon after, the chief of police. ANOTHER HOUSE ENTERED. While People Were at Fair Some one Went Through Bureau Drawers Another house in Second street was entered by an unknown person, very mysteriously. Mrs. J. Reynolds re turned home from the fair at K. of P. Hall with her children, Wednesday night, and found the latch of the back bedroom window twisted and the window pulled down from the top. Bureau drawers had been opened and things were scattered over the floor, but nothing was missing. After the family had retired, the cellar door .was heard to go down and, it is said, that a man was seen to go from it but that has not been confirmed. Perhaps it was the same party who stole the money from Sprague’s house, and they were hoping to find some stowed away again. It looks that way, as they did not take anything else. NEWS ITEMS.

DOWIE VISITS LOW. lout* of the Restorer’* Arm) Invade the Tenderloin. NEW YORK, Oct. 20. — There ivr.s fonsiderable commotion in the city hill when John Alexander Dowie. the "re storer,” called to pay his respects to Mayor I.ow. The "prophet” had previ ously made an appointment with the mayor, and when he called he was ac companied by his wife and his son. A. J. Gladstone Dowie, and Deacon Wil liam P. Kindle, his chief representa tive in this city. The mayor greeted them all cordially. The “prophet" then told the mayor of his mission to this city. Mayor Low in reply said: "It is a great pleasure to me to have yourself, wife, son and friends call here and express your interest in this city and its mayor as you have done.” This ended the reception, and in leaving the “prophet” in shaking hands with Mayor Low said: "I leave with you the salute of Zion. •Peace be unto thee, brother.’ ” The mayor smilingly replied: “Thank you. sir.” The Zion restoration host sent a de tachment into the Tenderloin in the afternoon. These venturesome spirits were not led by the "prophet.” Dea con Ogden was at their head. and. sev enty strong, they sallied bravely forth to do battle with wickedness in what they believed to be its very stronghold. "Peace be to thee" was the slogan. A wiggling of the right hand accom panied each salutation, and the same hand was extended to distribute tracts. Each of the seventy was equipped with one of the official Zion guides to New York, in which the territory was in dicated by map and text. They entered the gilded cafes, the business houses, theaters, residences and all the variety of places that make up Captain Rurfeind's precinct. Their “Peace be to thee” was heard where even Salvation Army lads and lassies never trod. Their descent upon the Tenderloin was the occasion of considerable inter est among the jaded pedestrians along the Rialto. There was a noticeable contrast between the treatment accord ed the followers of "Elijah III.'” and the Salvation Army lassies who sell War C'rys. The latter, although they make their way fearlessly into noisy cafes and barrooms, are always treat ed with cordial respect and rarely leave a place without having received lib eral contributions. The Dowieites seemed to afford only amusement. They were made the butt of facetious jests by bartenders, cafe loungers, pedestrians and men in ev ery walk of life. No one offered to in terfere with them, and their trip was without danger, out it was run or in cident of :i kind calculated to dampen enthusiasm not tried in the pie. After heaping vituperation and invec tive on the largest audience that has yet assembled to hear him Howie, the “restorer." was soundly hissed by thou sands at the Harden. The demonstra tions of disapproval were so pro nounced that when Howie left his carriage he was escorted by forty uni formed Zion guards running on each side of the vehicle. file guards continued with the car riage for a block and a half toward the Fifth Avenue hotel, to which place ; Howie lias transferred his headquar ters from the l’laza. It was an elicit- I ing scene. "You're a pack of thieves, the lot of you!" cried Howie in a rage after hav ing made desperate efforts to keep his audience from melting away. "You are slaves of the bottle, stinkpots. You’re a noisy rabble. I don't want your money, you thieves!" Howie's words were bitterly resent ed. especially by men who had escorted their wives or women companions to the Harden. When Howie made his “Elijah declaration” he was denounced by several excited individuals as an Uupostor and a lunatic. Pabtebet NEWS ITEMS. Miss Maude Platt spent Wednesday in Brooklyn.

RUSSIA IS INDIGNANT. — Condemn* the t nlted States Openinir Trade Doors. CHEKC. China. Oct. 20.—The Rus sians are very indignant with the Unit ed States government for concluding a treaty for opening Mukden to the com merce of the world. They say that the St. Petersburg gov ernment will protest and maintain that the opening of this new treaty port will never take place.
