HaveIin Satisfied.

Special to the Globe.
BosToN, March 2S-Jack Havelin,
the well known featherweight, had a
rousing benefit here tonight. Among
the features was sparring for points be-
tween Havelin and Weir, the Spider.
AS the former for months past has been
trying to force fight on the
Spider, which was declined because
of excess of previous dates, it was
expected the opportunity would be
seized upon by both men to get even.
Weir was not disappointed. Four-ounce
gloves were used. One of the hottest
bouts of the season took place, which
was stopped in the sixth round to save
Havelin being knocked out at his own
benefit. Weir drew blood, splitting
open Havelin's lip in the second
round, and in the fourth split his nose
and closed one eye. Havelin showed
Improvement in sparring, but was bat
tered to pieces and out of wind when
time waseahed. He is no match for the
Spider. This will stop his anxiety to
npnt no a nnlSn.

seized by a band of Indians and will
probably be removed to Canadian

Killed by her friends, who are threat
ening her life. Talking to an old Hud-
son Bay official, your correspondent was
assured that dozens of cases of canni-
balism had taken place III the North
which had never been brought to
light. Of course many Indians have
been compelled to eat their own friends
from sheer starvation. This ofhcer told
of man named Papniow, who started
on 700-mile trip few winters ago ac-
companied by two friends. The dogs
took sick. also one of the men, and for
several weeks the starving men sub
sisted on the flesh of their dead COM
rade. The Indian woman, who is un-
doubtedly the greatest cannibal ever
known in the continent of America,
was driven crazy in the first place by
medicine men, as they are called. AS
particulars of the tragedy are only
brief, owing to circumstances explained
above, brief history of these men, as as
learned by your correspondent, will
probably be read with interest. They
are designated by several names, as
Shamans,
sORCERERs AND CoNJURERS.
The Eskimo, among whom this woman
was acquainted, call them angekoks,
which is wise men. The Indians, like
other people. are subjected to the ills of
body and mind, and are, therefore, de-
pendent upon medical protection to help
them in their hours of pain. Blindness,

CINCINNATI, O., March 2s.-An un
usual thing has happened to-day at the
G. A. R. meeting in memory of Chief
Justice Waite. The report of the COM
mittee contained this passage, referring
to the supreme court: 'ItS weakest
moments have been those when it was
suspected of turning its back on juris-
prudence and opening its eyes to some
other guide: or when individual men,
bers of it were suspected of doing so.
These moments havebeen few and with
long intervals between them. While
such tribunal can be maintained, the
moral power of it's opinions will be
worth more to mankind than that of
any other existing institution" Will
lam Ramsey objected to that reference
to weakest moments. He knew of no
such occasions. He said purer, nobler
spirit never actuated any man than that
which breathed in the author of thatde-
cision. After somewhat long discus
sion, Hon. w. S. Groesbeck brought
harmony by saying the resolutions as
they were were highly eulogistic of the
supreme court. and the report was

in size was added to the fire making it nee
essary to shut the gas of at the works, in.
volving the city in total darkness.
The origin of the fire is a total mystery.
Some think it the result OF spontaneous
combustion in the rags, others think it
was case of inccndiarism. AS 10 the
real origin we will never know. The men
employed at the works say that there were
no rags left in the building near where
fire was first discovered.
The total loss will probably reach about
500. 1000. To this should be added the loss
of employment for the men out of work.
Work was commenced in the machine
shop on Monday. The wooden building

During the fire it was thought the flames
would get entirely beyond control and help

imperative necessity for immediate action
towards the prevention of another such ca

the great and important subject of water
works or better fire protection.
The success and prosperity of the fac.o.
ries is your success also, as your mercan
tile business has long ago outgrown the
support which the agricultural interests can
lend you. You cannot afford to allow our
city to go another thirty days with
out some definite actiontowards better pro-
lection. The liberal majority of our vo-
ters favored water works and unity on
your part in this matter would have given
us the desired protection more than one
year ago and the now great ruins of one of
our most prosperous branches of industry
would have been saved and running as
busily as a bee hive now in place of lifting
its blackened walls heavenward in despair

L. Z. Woodward alone, would more than

tain which supports your business, as do
many other classes among us. The regi-
ment of carpenters now busy on almost
every vacant lot in our city have largely
lost sight of the source of their support.
Do they forget that if the mechanics were
not constantly employed there would be
no need of the great corps Of carpenters2
The boom to our city has been solid and
substantial and has been advancing steadi-
ly for years so that the mass of people
have lost sight of the source to which it is
due. / say, Gentlemen, the factories of

this direction. in the future until it is too
