Boxing,

New York, April lO.-There was a
large crowd this evening at the Ameri-
can Institute at the sparring entertain
ment in which Charley Mitchell and
Mike Cleary of Philadelphia took part.
It was thought Mitchell would have no
chance with Cieary, but the result
showed that he was more than a match.
In the 81 and last round he knocked
Cleary off his feet once and might have
done the same second time had not
the ropes prevented fall. At the close
the two cinched and were separated by
the police. Mitchell received hearty
applause.

THE STRIKERS CONFIDENT

As will be seen by our telegraph report
the striking telegraph operators have
gained a slight victory that argues well
for them in the final outcome. The
American Rapid company agree to pay
an advance of 10 per cent in salaries,
extra pay for all work done over eight
hours day, and seven hours for night,
and extra for all Sunday work This
offer was accepted by the operators, who
resumed their W ork this morning. If the
Western Union company would make
some such proposition to their men, it
would not take long TO settle the difficulty,

CATHOLIC KNIGHTS OF AMERICA
The DefalcatiOn of the Late Treasurer
Hechmer.


Members of the organization known as
as the Catholic Knights of America, will
be interested in learning that the defalca-
ton of the late Treasurer Hechmer, will
not prove as disastrous as they had been
LED to believe by the published reports in
many of the newspapers. Mr.. William
c. Russell, supreme president of the
order, has Just made an examination of
the books and records of the late treas
urer, and he thus reports the result of his
investigation
Il found the Office and books of Hech-
mer in bad condition, and detected him
in prevarication and deceit The amount
of his default do not definitely know,
but If it be any considerable sum he has
amassed it through his entire term OF
office, by book keeping defying paid
experts. The new treasurer has the
books and records of the Office,
and about $4,000 of money
that were in Hecbmer's hands
There was left in bank at Grafton, by
O'Brien, 80, 900 to be paid to Mary Don
nelly. This sum Hecbmer drew from the
bank without authority, and the bank is

mer's bond before me, and the concurrent
opinion of the best lawyers in the Lebanon
bar is that the same is valid and binding
upon the securities of Hechmer and | an
reliably informed said bondsmen are worth
100000, which secures our order against
the default of Hechmer to the extent Of
$4,000. donot think there need be the
least apprehensions of any serious result;
to the order from this unfortunate affair
/ think we have enough money on HAND
and called to pay all outstanding death
losses without any additional assess
ments"
The order is about six years old, and
has membership of nearly or quite ID,
