SOMETHING ABOUT fuGILlsTs
Two Anecdotes. Alleged to Be
Good and Brand New.


English pugilists are supposed to re-
tire at a stage after the days of ring
usefulness are past, and English works
frequently mention how so and so quietly
awaits the end in the shady public house
in the lane or on the river bank, says the
Chicago Tribune. To an American such
a peaceful existence fora pug" seems
strained, but, the condition conceded,
the sentimentaS expressed by the point
of the following incident may be allowed
as beautiful, even though the old slug
gers idea was gained from youthful
perusal of Eugene Aram."
''Bat Mullins, at one time famous in
the annals of the ring" said the enter
tanning actor, WAS one day walking in
his yard arm in arm with Habbejam, a
noted sporting man. The day was of
that sort-misty and wet-whieh by
schoolboys is popularity thought to rain
angleworms, and as the cronies passed
along Habbejam. about to set his foot
upon one of the species lining the walk,
was stopped by Mullins, who, jerking
him back suddenly, angrily exclaimed:
''For shame! the poor fellow can't cOun-
ter. we KNOW"
Mr.. Toff Wall (middleweight cham
pien of England, not adverse to lending
himself for the purpose of practical
joke, upon certain occasion found him
self facing most inferior man for the
amusement of certain club men who
wished to see sucker made of one of
their friends who had aspirations in the
way of the art pugilistic. Amateurs in any
line OF sport are apt to fancy themselves
too highly, and long to be pitted against
professionals, and this one was easily
induced to ''haye a go" at MI. Wall, the
more by the persuasive arguments of
Jack Baldock (Smith's second in the
Kilrain affair.", considered to be the best
judge of fighter "'tother side of the
Atlantic"
In the first round ''Toff' knocked his
man around numerically but, although
much battered and bruised, the amateur
was not quite knocked out"
As Baldock helped him to his corner
the second cheered him with ''Good boy!
you will do him YET" Don't weaken"
You're winner sure" IAN / win
ner?" feebly asked the novice. "Sure."
replied Jack. '"Then," gasped the tyro,
as he threw down the gloves, 'Tll-quit

ROTUNDA RIPPLES.

''Matters are very quiet UP in the
Fifth district" remarked eX-Lieut. GOV.
Barto, whose name has been mentioned
as candidate to succeed Hon. KnIte
Nelson, land the prevalence of cold
weather has had the effect of keeping
politics in an unsettled state. But
things will begin to boom shortly, and
especially as both the state conventions
have been called to choose delegates to
the national nominating conventions. !"
-
Accompanying the rotund, jolly eX-
state official was District Attorney
George n. Baxter, who had met Mr..
Bart0 on the train. and they came up to
the Merchants together. But politics
was not in the line of the gentleman
from Faribault, the statement that per-
sOnal matters brought him to st. Paul
being as far as he would go in converse
ton.
Joseph E. Raymond, who has been
absent from his accustomed hauntS, the
Drake block and Ryan hotel, for several
weeks making an Eastern tour, returned
to the Ryan yesterday and was of course
besieged by inQuirers who wanted to
learn his blizzard experiences while
away.
Il was caught in the storm at Bos-
TOM said Mr.. Raymond, land never in
my life have 1 seen such snowfall and
such impossible streets as prevailed for
couple of days at the Hub. EXpe-
riences cannot give any description of
the true situation. 1t was something to
be remembered with dread and hope
against repetition of such scenes"

''It will continue to grow warmer
from this time forward" remarked
Weather Prophet Woodruff. of the Sig
nal service, '.for the cold wave began to
break early yesterday morning. At 6
o'clock q. IN. the lowest point reached
was Ii deg below zero, and the cold
was intensified by the violent gale of
wind. Now that the wind has yeered
to the south, moderately cold weather
will be in order for few days longer"

THE STRIKE is ENDED.

The Brotherhood Must Ackno"l-

Trouble.
The strike is ended. That is, it is
ended in st. Paul and in favor OF the
railway company. The embargo will be
raised this morning, and all roads given
free, full permission to handle as much
90 business as they can get. Matters
are as they were two weeks
ago, and inside Of twenty-four
hours the brotherhood engineers
hand will again grasp the lever.
The engineers are not sorry that the
trouble is over, for idleness is contrary
to their nature. They feel that they
have done we'll TO stand out as long as
they did. hence are not impressed with
a sense of Overwhelming defeat. The
delegates arrived late last night from
Chicago ard held q short secret session
at once in the Merchants hotel and then
went to Minneapolis.
The result of their conference was not
told, but they gave out this much, that
to-day they would call on the officials OF
the railroads, thank those that had
treated them fairly, and then raise the
embargo, This has nothing, whatever,
to do with the strike in Chicago, for it is
on there still, and the engi-
neers are about to use another
tack to accomplish their purpose.
The Chicago, Burlington IL Northern is
said to be glad to get its brotherhood
engineers back. Places of some
sort will be provided for the
''scabs," as they came to the road
in an emergency. Some of the C., b.
& n. men will not return to work on
that road, but seek positions Oh other
roads where they can make better wages.
The result of the delegates mission
to Chicago will be given out to-day and
full explanation given. The Merch-
ants has assumed its customary aspect.
the scared look has departed from the
faces of the travelling public, and the
st. Paul railway world ways smoothly

A TEST TO BE MADE.
Whether the Water Mains Are
Large Enough Will BE Decided
in a Practical Way.


Aid. Sanborn, Hamm and Cullen, of
the investigating committee of the coun-
Gill; Mr.. Gordon, of the Jobbers' union
committee; George w. Hall, represent
ing the insurance companies; Chief
Black and Commissioners Prendergast
and Warner, for the fire depart
ment, and Secretary Caulfeld, At
torney Folsom, Superintendent Over
ton and President Hoyt, for
the water board, met in the council
chamber yesterday afternoon to dis
cuss the old question as to whether the
water mains in the business district
were large enough. Supt. Overton
claimed that the present mains fur
nlshed an ample supply of water, and
said it was the intention of the
board to put in larger mains on
Jackson and Third streets dur
ing the coming season. He wanted
a practical test, and thought there had
been enough theoretical tests. Attor
ney Folsom yentured the opinion that
the lire engines were all second class
and that they would not throw water
more than four stories high anyway.
lie averred that the water supply is
better here than iii Detroit, Baltimore
and other large cities. Mr.. Hall
said the insurance companies had
come to the conclusion that
the siXineh mains were not large
enough and that representatives are
now in the city who had decided that
the amount of risks must be reduced
unless the mains are enlarged. Chief
Black said the engines could not be sup
piled with the present mains, and Com
missioners Prendergast and Warner
both expressed themselves in favor of a
test. This was finally agreed upon, and
the time for making the test will
be set by the council committee.
Aid. Sanb0rn's idea is that the engines
should be placed exactly as they were
at the two recent big fires and then
tried in other positions.

A NATURAL CURIoSITY.-A living
bat, imbedded in q solid rock, was
found on the premises of w. V. Her.
riott, near Romney, last Thursday, by
Mr.. Herriott and Chas. Corbin, the
latter of whom was preparing the
rock for use. There were sufficient
witnesses to the remarkable discOv-
cry to prove this statement. The bat
died from being kept too near the
stove. The hole in the stone, which
was in the centre. Is quite small; the
bats body just filed it. The curios-
ity is, how it got there, how long ii
has been there and how 1t existed.
About eight years ago Anthony
Rehs, employed in the Swanton mine
at Barton, found two bats embedded
in the solid breast Of coal. One of
them, we believe, escaped, and the
other died. 1t was afterwards stuffed
and was at last accounts In Mr.. Reh's
possession. Archie Mcdonald, at
that time superintendent of the mine,
took a plaster cast of the cavity in the
coal breast and it has the exact con.
figuration of q bat to the smallest de-
tails of structure. These bats at Bar.
ton were found in the solid coal,
mile from the opening of the mine,
and with about 200 feet OF covering.
AS the facts in this case are thorough
ly reliable, there can be no doubt the
bats were embedded in the coal meas.

The Dallas Journal, way down in
Texas, raises the name of Samuel j.
Randall for president in 1892, and
for vice.president any good Southern
Democrat who s'favors the abolition
of the internal or war taxes, and a
policy that pledges encouragement
to American industries and protec.
ton to the American workingman
against alien paupers." That is a
pretty good platform to come from
Texas, but the causes which led to
Democratic defeat are not unknown
down there. The paper attacks the
Cleveland policy with great severity.
and charges Morrison, Watterson
and Mills with the Democratic mis-.
fortune. 1t is evident that the result
of the election has reopened the
tariff controversy in the Democratic
party before Mr.. Cleveland has had

missiles. g Ilaf-eda
