says: John Chaplin, a saloon-keepcr of
BladenSburg, Ohio, has been at enmity for
long time past with the Prohibitionists of
the town. Early yesterday morning a mob
of men, composed of leading Prohibition
lists, bearing axes, picks and shovelS, made
furious assault on the saloon and resi-
dence Chaplin refused them admittance,
and they pelted the house with stones, one
of which, passing through a window, struck
Chaplin on the head, fracturing his skull
The mob then forced its way through the
rear of the house into the saloon, opened
the front doors, and proceeded 10 complete
ly destroy with axes the bar fixtures and
furniture of the place Chaplin died early
yesterday morning. There is intense eN-
citement throughout Knox county over the
outrage, and a band of Mount Vernon
roughs swear they will avcnge Chapin's
death
Another Sparring" Fiasco.
NEW YORK, November 24th.-Thc much
talked-of boxing match between Charles
Mitchell and Jack Burke, who were to
have fought eight rounds under The
Marquis of Queensberry rules at Madison
Square Garden tonight, turned out a
tiasco. About 500 spectators and fifty re-
porters went to see the great exhibition Of
''sparring for points Among the 500
were the police Captains of the various pre-
cincts of the city, who had been specially
ordered to be present One sport re-
marked, This is the funeral of glove fights
in New York" At 10 o'clock Mitchell
and Burke appeared on the stage, accom-
panied by Billy Madden. Bob Smith an
nounced that ''in consequence of the inter
est taken III the match by the District
Attorney and police, and from desire
that all present should be able 10 get
home in time TO drown their sorrows,
Mitchell and Burke would give Quaker
exhibition of sparring i'll three rounds,
according TO the latest rules OF the Peace
Society. The men were dressed in plain
white tights and drawers. When time -
was called they advanced toward each other
offering the right hand of good fellowship,
and then drew back to admire each other.
They "Chucked" each other under the
chin and smOothed one another's cheeks
in 4 really ailectionate way once or twice.
When the first three minutes were over
they gracefully bowed and retired to their
Corners. The crowd, which had increased
to perhaps 900 persons, groancd feelinglv.
but the fighters only smiled. The second
and third rounds were similar Once
Mitchell pushed his cheek against Burkes
glove, for which Burke apologized Then
Mitchell patted his opponents right check,
and in scriptural fashion Burke turned the
left to him. Another time when Burke
got close enough to Mitchell, the latter put
his glove rs far as he could in the formers
mouth So it went on until the third
round was over. A more disguSted crowd
than that which left the garden has rarely
been seen in this or any other city. There
was no decision as to who was the winner,
but that would have been no use, as there
was nothing to divide between the men.
Standard Silver Dollars and the New
Vault.
WASHINGTON, November 24th.- arge
consignments of standard silver dollars are
being received at the Treasury Department
weekly for storage in the new silver vault.
These coins are shipped here from the
various Sub-Treasuries where the storage
facilities are inadequate. The new silver
vault is in the sub-basement of the north
wing of the Treasury, and directly under
meath the caSh-room floor, the dimen-
sions of the two apartments being equal.
The vault was finished several months ago,
and there is now stored in it about 5,000,-
GOO silver dollars Its estimated ca
pacity is 50000,000. Admission to the
vault is gained through double fire and
burgar-proof doors, fitted with time
locks and combinations of the latest pat
terms. There are seven chambers on each
side of the main corridor, each parlitioncd
from the other by iron bars. Admittance
is gained through the grated doors fastened
by spring locks, which can be sealed. Its
general appearance is that of an accommor
dation prison in the basement of some well
appointed station-house. Instead of lock-
ing up tramps, drunkarls and thieves,
however, these cells contain row upon row
of canvas bags, about the size of 4 common
salt bag. each filled with silver dollars.
Cashier Whclpley told your correspondent
that last summer he helped to verify a
count of $77, ,00O,000 of gold and silver coin
in the vaults of the Sub-Treasury at San
Francisco. OF this amount, $5l 000, 900 was
in gold and $26,000,000 in silver Its total
weight was $40 tons. No silver will be
SHIPPED from the Pacific coast to the
Treasury for storage.
The New York Chinese Case.
New YORK. November 24th.-Thc Com-
naerci,d Adcertiser commenting on the re-
cent decision in the case of All kee SAYS
editorially: Judge Brown decided that a
Chinaman who may come to this country
as seaman for example, has right to
land here i'll spite of the provisions of the
Restriction Act, provided that he does not
intend to stay permanently. Any other
decision would have been inhuman, and it
is by no means to our credit that in some
quarters there is disposition to put too
strained a construction upon law the
stringent provisions OF which might be
modified, perhaps, without detriment to
the most ardent of The Chinaphobists.
