A CURIOUS accident occurred last evening al the junction of Wing Lok Street and Des Vœux Road, by which the glass windows of a tram car were broken. It appears that a coolie was walking along the road in the middle of the lines, and though the gong was repeatedly sounded, he took no notice; and when the car came so close that it must inevitably have run the imbecile down, the motor-man put on the emergency brake with such effect that the sud
den jar broke the windows in front of the car. The coolie looked around to see what it was ali about, and in doing so crashed his bamboo
carrying-pole through a side window. The man was charged before Mr. Hazeland this morning, but as there was nothing to show that the man wilfully caused an obstruction or wil- fully broke the windows, he was discharged. The prosecuting witness, the motor-man of the car, stated that the coolie offered to pay $1.00 compensation for the broken windows, but as they were valued at $to he laughed at the offer, and brought this charge as he knew, that their value would otherwise be deducted from his pay. His Worship said he admired the witness for his candour-it was certainly refreshing; but he could do nothing in the matter; the prose cutor had his remedy in the Civil Court.

ROUND 5.
On coming to the scratch both men showed signs of wear and tear; Newman's optics were nearly closed and Smith's dial was gory. Smith was the first to open proceedings with a stiff left jab on the chin, followed by two left taps on the face. Newman contented himself with smothering but, breaking ground, missed with a right swing for the mark. He compen- sated, however, by his favourite body punch, and a rally followed, ending in a clinch, Smith landed several lefts on the dial and Newman administered some good short right half arm rib punching. Both men went to their corners dog tired.
ROUND 6
Brought two very weary men to their feet, and Newman was the first to get home with the same old punch on the ribs. Smith stopped a rush by Newman with a left on the nose and assumed the offensive, but his hits lacked vigour, while a right swing by Newman carried po steam. Both men were very disinclined to come together, and Newman glanced anxiously at the clock. The round closed tamely, both contestants welcoming the announcement of " corners."
and 350 shells hit their marks. As a result of this cannonade the fort on Arrongshan was greatly damaged and one of the 15-inch guns on Shiyantoshan fort was overturned and one other was greatly damaged. A gun on the north fort of Tonchikuanshan was completely destroyed.
