He is well proportioped throughout, heavily
muscled in the arms and shoulders, powerful
loins and good legs. In sparring be showed
himself active on his feet, and quick and
accurate hitter. Mace seemed to have little
il any advantage over him in skill; in fact
Slade got in more blows than Mace. There
was no heavy smuggling. Mace made speech,
saying he bad retired from the ring, but
would meet Sullivan or sny other man with
gloves. Speaking for Slade, he said the lat
ter had never bad gloves on until within the
last year, though previously be had shown
himself good fighter. He would meet Sui

CHICAGO, January 9.-Some months ago
a man named Abram Buirow brought suit
against s. II. McCrea, prominent, wealthy
and respected citizen, who has held many
and important offices of trust in this COM
munity, to recover $4,000 alleged to be due
him for detective services. Burrow claimed
that bis work had extricated McCres from a
scandal. McCres refused 10 make a settle
ment, and in the trial which has just been
concluded it was clearly shown that this So

Foues, had deliberately planned job by
which it was hoped 10 blsckmsil McCres
out of several thousand dollars. McCrea
had, however, made firm stand. He re-
fused to be bled, kicked the blackmsiler from
his Office, and in court made go strong and
clear a case that the jury, without hesitating,
found a verdict in his favor.

Saint Morse Determined to Produce
the "Fassion Play

The New York Evening Post reports that
Mr.. Sslmi Morse and his csunsel appeared
on Saturday in the Superior Court, before
Judge Ingraham, who is sitting at special
term, TO make an application for man.
damus to compel the mayor of this city,
Franklin Edson, to grant Mr.. Morse license
to open his hail in West Twenty-third street,
where he says be intends TO give and exhibit
certain interludes, tragedies, comedies, OPP
eras, ballets, plays, facres, mins;relsy, dane
ing, and other entertainments of the stage.
Mayor Edison refused to grant the license
upon the ground that he had been informed
that Mr.. Morse was about, or intended, 10
produce the Passion Play. Mr.. Morse al
leges in his petition that he has expended a
great amount of money in fitting up his
premises. He has made contracts with per-
sons to perform, and unless he secures a IL
cense ne will be greatly injured.
Mr.. Morse, through his counsel, urged be-
fore the ayor that the TUmor that he was
about to produce the Passion Pioy was all a
conjecture. He claims that he has right
to mandamus TO compel the mayor to grant
him license for the reasons that he is a
man Of good character; that no other license
has ever been granted or revoked; that he
has complied with all the requirements OF
the statute; that if he obtains license and
subsequently commits any sc, 10 violation oil
the law or gives any exhibition prohibited
by the statute, then there is another remedy
by law against him. Counsel declared that
the author Of this play had come to this city
to produce it, and il had come TO the ears OF
the authorities, who now refuse to grant him
a license. This play would not offend any
person whatever, no matter OF what religious
denomination he or she may be. Mr.. Morse
was entitled 10 produce the play, and then,
if it is exhibited and proves offensive, OF
contrary TO the law or religion, he
is liable TO arrest. The mayor was
the person to whom the applica.
ton for a license was made. Mr.. Morse pre-
scented the $50 fee as required by the statute.
All they asked was an order to show cause
why a mandamus should not be granted. In
st. Barnabas church they were now playing
something similar TO that which is now pro-
posed by Mr.. Morse. Mr.. Morse, he said
does intend TO produce the Passion Play, and
that ia his only objsct This play will not
in any way be offensive to the eye, or TO the
ear, or TO the feelings. He therefore re-
quested the court TO grant an order 10 show
cause why this license should not be granted
An order in blank form was then handed
up TO Judge Ingraham, and he signed it
The order directs that the mayor, Franklin
Edson, show cause, on Wednesday next, a
special term of the Superior Court, why 8
writ of msndamus should not issue herein
directed TO the respondent, Franklin Edison
mayor, commanding him TO issue and gram

heard Wednesday, the 10th instant.
