NEw YoRk, July 3.-The managers Of
the boxing matches which were to take
place in New York either to-day or Mon
day have come definitely to the conclusion
that the law is too strong for them, and
that the best thing that they can do Is to
give up the struggle. The Sullivan-Mitch-
ell match Is oil altogether, and it Is matter
Of extreme doubt II these "sluggers" will
come together for long time. Kilrain
and Ashton, however, are determined to
have 1t out between them, and while they
we're unable to punch each others head
to-day either at Metropolitan Park or at
"Harry" Hills, they have simply post
poned their match, but 1t will take place
within two weeks at some place near New
York, to be mutually agreed upon.
Sullivan still keeps In training 80 that
he will be Gt for the match which hes been
made between him and Frank Heard, To
be fought within fifty miles OF New York
in two weeks. The fight is to be ten

A Tall Suit.

New YORK, July 4.-The tallest resi-.
dence in the world is now in litigation.
1t is the Osborne apartment house, and IT
measures 200 feet from sidewalk level to
roof. Like most Of the enormous French
fat buildings in this city, 1t has been q
financial failure, returning less than 2per
cent. on the Investment Of 81, ,250, 900. The
suit Is over contract under which 1t was to
have been sold by Thomas Osborne to the
wife OF General Charles O. Dodge. The
lofty structure stands on an elevated site
in Seventh avenue, near Central Park,
and 1t makes the neighboring church
spires look mean and small. As new
law forbids the erection OF houses in New
York more than 100 feet high, and such
restrictions are in force In European cities,
the Osborne Is likely to retain It's altitu-
dinouB pre-eminenCe.

New YoRE, July S.-The five boycottera
convicted this week in Judge Barrett's
court started for Sing Sing this morning
unmanacled, but in charge Of Deputy
sherlffs and in company with thieves and
other Conylcts. A large party Of German
musicians and other fellow workers bade
them goodbye az the station. District
Attorney MARITIME said to-day that the
trial Of the sixteen boyCotters OF Mrs.
Lindgraf would be pushed as rapidly as
possible, and that after that there would
be a rest until September, when over
thirty more boyCotters remain to be tried,
including those who conducted the famous
warfare on Mrs. Gray's baker and made
that lady's fortune.
The Holk'S ZciIung, a German Socialist
organ, to-day published q double.leaded
article headed ITO the Pillory," and
saying, "The boycotting cases which
ended yesterday with the utterly criminal
sentences oil Judge Barrett, whom we con-
sign to the unquenchable hatred Of the
people, were nothing but acts OF almost
incomparably brutal class tyranny under
the cloak Of the law. They were q mock.
cry Of every law and Of every principle Of
Justice" After continuing In this strain
for some time, the article concludes; "The
hatred which has been brought against
them they will answer with the burning,
unquenChable hate OF their own, and they
will not rest until their miserable enemies
have met with their just retribution."
Accompanying this was o black listin-
