' i ’ •' _ FIREMAN DAVIS _ FINED Aggressor In Last Sunday’s Scrap at No. 15 Engine House Loses Ten Days’ Pay. COMBATANTS ACCUSE EACH OTHER As There Were No Witnesses, the Casa Rested Qn the Men’s Veracity And Kerr W as Believed The lively scrap that took place Sun day morning between Engineer Steve Davis and Driver Victor D. Kerr of No. 15 Engine, in the engine house, was in vestigated by the Fire Board lash even ing, and resulted in Davis, who had been under suspension since, being fined ten days' pay. There was a large lobby present. Both men have passed the half century mark, but are stalwart and ro bust. Both received severe punishment in the set-to. Kerr testified that Davis struck him without the least provoca tion and that he struck back in self defense. Davis said that he accidentally ran up against Kerr, who turned upon him with the remark, “You pot-bellied — — —, who are you bumping up against?” and struck him in the mouth, knocking out one of his teeth. Kerr denied Davis’s story. Counsellor Herbert Potts, counsel for Davis, brought out the fact that Davis blackened both of Kerr’s eyes about two years ago and that Kerr naturally har bored resentment against Davis and was therefore liable to nave been the aggres sor in this instance. Tehre were no wit nesses of the assault. The matter rest ed upon the veraeity of the two men. It transpired that Davis was accused of having circulated stories about Kerr concerning the performance of his duties —such as cleaning his horses with ben zine, etc. Counselor Potts attempted to show that this was another motive for Kerr as the aggressor. Kerr’s statement was, however, gen erally accepted. . j James Jones, truckman of No. 5 Hook and Ladder Company, was fined three days’ pay for being absent twenty two hours and forty-five minutes without leave. George E. Wood, of No. 7 Engine Company, resigned. His resignation was V dated May 6, and was accepted, to take effect from that date. Joseph P. Camp bell of the Second aWrd was appointed in his stead. George W. Merson made application to become a member of the department. He has the backing of the Palisade Re publican Club. Fire Chief Conway submitted his monthly reports for March and April. In March the total loss of property by fires amounted to $54,552. The insur ance on property damaged amounted to $447,520. The amount of insurance paid was $28,512. The total number of alarms vyas 42, of which 26 were by telegraph. In April the total amount of property destroyed by fire was $21,737; total amount of insurance, $119,475; amount of insurance paid. $20,737. The total number of alarms was 59, qi which 35 were by telegraph.

MONTREALS AT LAST SCORE They Won Over Providence, Bisons Over the Sailors and the Orioles Over the Rochesters. The home team is evidently bent on repeating its great record of successive victories last season. Yesterday it added another to its already fine list by again defeating Toronto to the tune of seven to two, and it did so by playing regular championship ball. The visitors were outplayed at every point. Eason was in the bev for the locals and he was in fine fettle and was splendidly sup ported. Gardner, who did the twirling for the visitors, lost his head and rat tled the fielders. The visitors scored two runs in the third inning, but were t shut out for the rest of the game. The home team scored in the second inning, Keister tallying on Carr’s error. In the first inning Clement of the home team got first on another error by Carr, and reached second on Bean’s sacrifice. Cassidy was hit by a pitched ball and took first. A safety to the centre by Cassidy sent Clement home and landed Cassidy at second. Cassidy scored on Hnlligun’s long drive to right. A wild pitcli by Gardner, a hit by Doolin and a passed ball by Raub allowed them to score for the third time during the game. In the eighth inning Clement, on Wiedensaul’s error, stole second, and went home on a two-bagger by Cassidy, who scored on Kuhn’s error. While the game was in progress Cas sidy, at the close of one of Toronto’s innings, walked over to the visitors bench and took a seat with the Toronto reserve players. Beau shouted to- him to take his place with his fellow players. Cas sidy paid no attention to him and Bean appealed to Umpire Haskell, who or dered Cassidy to leave the Toronto bench. It is said that Cassidy and E(ean are not on speaking terms. The score:— TORONTO. R. IB. PO. A. E. Harley, ef.1 2 1 0 0 Kuhns, ss .0 1 2 5 1 White.
