susUens,on Of RnilrOad worK

A telegram from Laredo to the Gal.
weston News gives report thai work
on the international Railway extension
has been permanently suspended. The
News correspondent says
ST seems that the Gould d-DeGress
conclusion from the Mexican Govern
ment contains a provision which abso'
lutely forfeits to Mexico all work done
in the event that the road should fail to
be completed in conformity with the
charters at the terms therein specified,
and provides further that the Mexican
Govern ment shall be the supreme ar
bitrator of the matter should a forfeit
ure occur. Gould tried to get modih-
cation to the extent that, should work
at any time have to be suspended on
account of any financial panic in the
United States, it would be an exception
In his favor. Not succeeding in this
all work has been stopped.

Rrntnl rlght.

PrrTsBURG, Hecember 20.-A prize
fight took place this morning about
twenty-five miles from here on the
Fort Wayne Railroad. The principles
were John Gflsohfe, Sweds, and Ger
man named Reisenhouse. The two
men worked together in q mill on the
South side and considerable bad feel
| ing had been engenderd owing to the
uncertainty rs to which was the better
man. They agreed to fight for $3.50 and
they came together at o'clock This
/ NOR ming
| The first round was knock-down for
! the Swsde In the second round they
beth fought for all they were worth.
There was no science displayed, bub
they struck at each other right and left
and battered each others froHtispiece
In . terrible manner. The round was
finally settled by the German knocking
the Swede down. The thitd, fourth
and fifth rounds were all knock'dOwns
for the German. The sixth, seventh
and eighth rounds were knock-downs
for the Swede, which made them tie.
In the ninth round they both came 10
tho scratch promptly and this was the
hardest fought round during the whole
battle.
They struck at each other as If they
we're blind, and the round was called a
draw. The German had the side OF his
nose nearly torn of by an upper cut
aud the Swede received two very bad
outs above tho eyes.
The men were vary weak when they
came into the ring for the tenth round.
After fighting about four or five minutes
they stopped and asked to have the
blood rubbed of their faces, which was
done. Then a conversation took place
between the hackers and the men and it
was decided to stop the fght, as the
men were 80 weak they could scarcely
stand. They shook hands and the
Swede said TO the German 81 think
we will meet again and if we ever do
one of US must win"

Vaccination.

The REPUBLICAN, Acknowledges the
receipt of The Vaccination InquiIer
and Health Review, the organ of the
London Society for the Abolition Of
Compulsory Vaccination, for the cur
rent month. The Inquirer is published
in London, and as the title indicates
Ia opposed to compulsory vaccination.
It contains a table showing that in
1905, when only ten persons in each
100 we're vaccinated there were but
1882 deaths from smallpox in Lendon
to each million OF population, while in
1871 when the city was again visited
by smallpox there were 80 persons In
each 100 of the population that had
been vaccinated, and the death rate
had increased 10 Q, ,422 per million OF
inhabitants. 1t condemns compulsory
vaccination in prisons and other re-
formaEory institutions, and pronounees
vaccination as no defense against
smallpox.

An Act in relation to the payment of the excess OF

oyer benefits received in cities Of the first
Whereas, After long litigation, it has been held by
the court Of last resort in this state, that where
owners OF real estate within the corporate limits

provements more than the special benefits re-
ceived by such real estate from such improve
ments, and the amount OF such excess has been
ascertained by commissioners appointed for that
purpose, the said city shall repay TO such owner
such excess; and whereas, ii is just that technical

commissioners appointed under any act for that
purpose, and such commissioners have actually
fe-assessed that portion Of the assessment which
had heretofore been paid at the amounts which it
was equitable and inst that said last mentioned
portion should have assessed then the city to whom
the payment OF the said individual assessment was
made, shall repay to those who have paid said as
sessment before The said re-assessment, the differ
ence between the amount of the individual as
sessfdent SO paid by them and the amount OF the
individual fe-assessment; provided, such persons
who so paid said assessment are still the owners of
the real estate upon which the assessment was
originally so unjustly assessed.
q And be it enacted, That it shall be lawful FOR
such city to pay the same By issuing to the said
person or persons so entitled to said repayment,
