Strikers-GOing to Row.
Uleary All Right.

CHICAGO, December 3O.-Mike Cleary
left last evening for Philadelphia,
where he will spend New Years Day
with his friends. He looked hearty
and in prime condition. Not a scratch
was visible upon his face to indicate
! that the night before he had received as
much punishment at the hands of the
] Irish lad as he ever had in his life in
the same space of time.
How do you feel. Mike7" asked tie
reporter.
"Me?" said the Frisco man, with a
look OF surprise at the question. why,
feel all right, of course. l got little
punch IN the neck that knocked me
silly for moment, but any man in the
business is liable to get that you know. !"
Rather a.tough punch, wasn't it?"
Well, yes, it felt that way" said the
puglllst, as he passed his hand over his
jaw, but I've put in just as tough
one myself, and seen my man go down
the same way" s
Burke stepped in from an adjoining
room at this moment, and the two
shook hands with hearty grip
You are as good as they make 'em,
my lad, said the Frisco man. II
wasn't looking for that right a bit. l
had my eye on your left, you know, for
L had not forgotten the way it had
picked me off my feet in the first round.
But 1t comes to the best of US, some
times, and expect it will come to you
.fyou stay in the business"
Its liable to, - replied the Irish lad,
quietly, 81 am always looking for it,
though, when there's any danger of it"
Jimmy" said Cleary pulling a wry
face, Il had to telegraph to Frisco that
l was knocked out. That is one of the
things I hated to do"
Whom do you expect to meet
neXt2" asked the reporter.
"Oh, l shall take it easy for six
months, or so. / was surprised last
night, to feel how little could stand.
l thought l never was in better shape
when l climbed over the ropes; but
after the first round my stomach went
back on me and l began to feel weak"
Considering the fact that Burke
knocked Cleary off his feet in the tirsi
round with left-hander over the right
eye, and sent him whizz;ng into the
ropes, six feet away, and afterwards
pounding him in the stomach with the
left and right until the round ended, 1t
is perhaps scarcely to be wondered at
that his stomach should have gone
back on him, or that he should have
felt weak.

Death Rather IMAM Disrracs.

New YORK, December 30.-A special
from Newport, R. l., says. Lieutenant
Jones, of the Fourth United States
Artillery; returned to duty at Fort
Adams, last night, having ove1stayed
his leave Of absence about a week. This
proved upon his mind and rather than
submit to court martial and its dis
grace he decided to die. Karly this
morning he arose, dressed. himself, and
reported for duty. He subsequently re-
turned to his quarters and shot him
self in the head with a revolver, the
ball entering the brain. His death is
but question of few hours. He was
popular young officer, and I'M
married. His relatives and friends
reside in Cincinnati. The tragedy has
cast deep gloom over the garrison at
Fort Adams.

Murder Most Foul.

CINCINNATI, o., December 3O.-Henry
G. Kemper, aged 60, proprietor of a
small grocery store at 166 Barr street

His skull was split open, but no trace
could be found. The murderer oh
tanned less than SO. from the money
drawer. The deceased has a daugbter
in Denver, one in Dayton, two at home,
and one son. His wife is lying danger

known mulattO seen at the store this
morning before the murder.

The Good Temnlars, Meeting

The Good Templars' meeting at the
Town Hall a week ago lit seems like a
longer period so much has transpired
slncel was a meeting successful per-
maps beyond the anticiDations of it's
projectors. The hall was filed by an
audience of all classes and the meet
ing throughout was one that had in it
the thrObbing pulsations of earnest life.
There was that pOsitiveness of express
sion and demeanOr of men girded for a
fight, and the bearing of the ladies was
that they were ready to take stronger
hand than simply pick lint for the
wounded. There was no beating the
bush to see if an enemy was living in
ambush, but their march was direct to
the citadel-the salOOns-and the law
power that shields and protects them.
power that they could see no wav of
influencing or destroying but by the
ballot-box. The Good Templars ap-
parently aim ut but one thing-practi.
cal results.
Rev. J. B. Quigg opened the meeting
with prayer and after a short address
introduced Delaney Crouch, of Dover.
who was followed by Herman Roe. of
this town; he by Coroner u. i. Butler,
OF Dover, who realiirmed his intention
to vote hereafter as he prays; the last
speaker being Frank Whelen, &. w.
Z. T., the chief speaker, who did not
get the rostrum until a little befor nine
o'clock and held his audience until
ten, in fresh, vigorous and at times
graphic account Of his personal exper-
fences with the demon of appetite.
much of it in this town, and giving
reasons from his standpoint as II suf-
terer why and how the curse should be
driven from our land.
The addresses were interspePsed with
vocal music by members Of the order
Miss Nora Cotton presiding at the
piano. Smyrna lodge of Good Tenn
plars has the distinction of being the
most iiOurishing lodge in the State.
There was considerable surprise
evinced and comment made upon the
unwilllngness of the lodge to take up a
collection from the public to help pur-
chase their contemplated organ. The
truth Is that the organization is self
supporting and not a mendicent one.
The dues for adult members only
amount to 40 cents per quarter or 81 go
per an4um and the lodge has "a good
balance IN the treasury, fully enough
to meet all current expenses. It is the
intention Of the members to purchase
the organ by donations of their own.
and the lodge has in its circle both
gentlemen and ladies who are fully
competent Of knowing when it is nee
essary to lower its Status by passing
around the hat. Thus, while it thanks
the speaker for the suggestion and the
public for its intended generosity. it
still desires to retain its title of hide
pendent Order of Good Templars.

nation of the evening by the rattleand

nation of the evening by the rattle and
roll of their music.
During the night and as late as six
| o'clock Christmas morning several
companies of choristers were out, but
they did not all attempt the harmO-
nies. One of the companies, however,
sang some very pretty carols. Between
four and five o'clock the firing of Pearl
street guns evidenced the approaching
dawn of day, and by the last-named
hour many little hand was delving
into stocking which Old Kriss had left
filled to the brim.
The six o'clock prayer meeting at
| the M. E. Church was attended by
about the usual number and the sing
ing and testimony in commemOration
of the gift to the world that was pro-
claimed upon the plains of Bethlehem,
| showed that it was as much a reality
to day, as it was to the shepherds, to
whom the glad tidings" were first
proclaimed
At a quarter to eleven o'clock a lar
ger congregation than usual for this
morning assembled at St. Peters
Church to participate in the liturgic
services set apart for the day. The
! decorations were not so elaborate as
usual, the large memorial window rem
| deringit unnecessary, but the arrange
ment of evergreen was very tasty.
There was hut one inscription about
the altar, which was GLORY to Our
! New Born King" on semi-transparent
ground set in frame of evergreen that
stretched across the lower part of the
window. Over the front door there
was the simple word in a similar
frame, Hosanna." Some festOoning
about the chancel. the dressing of the
