1.-THE CONTEST ENDED.
What the COurier-JOurnal Says Of
the Strike of Its Printers.


the Strike of Its Printers.
LOUISVILLE. KY, Jan. 22-The
COurier-JOurnal this morning has col
umn editorial concerning the printers
strike which took place week from
last Thursday. Neither the Courier
Journal nor the Evening Times has
missed single edition since the in
auguratiOn of the strike and boycott.
The editorial is headed, ''The Contest
Ended" and says: ''The Courier
journal this morning is back. again to
its old standard, a triple number of
twenty pages. The Inconvenience Oc-
caSlOned by the strike have passed
away. Obstacles that may seem insur-
mOuntable disappear when confronted
by skill. knowledge and determination.
The strike was not 0 O,lr work; we neither
provoked nor precipitated it; we neither
sought nor desired it; we contemplated
no reduction of wages, nor any diminu-
ton of work. When the old force, led by
few foolish agitatOrs, left our office, at a
time and in manner that was meant to
c0erce us, we simply accepted the issue
as presented, and instead of turning over
our property to strike committee, to
be operated by them as our trustees, we
concluded to manage it ourselves. Some
attempts have been made by the labor
organizations to intimidate and coerce
our advertisers, with what success our
readers can judge by glance at the
paper this morning. 1t is plain that the
attempts to control the business of our
merchants has failed as signally as the
attempt to manage the COurier-JOurnal.
Our advertisers were never more lib
eral and never more numerous, and we

MEXICAN MORTGAGE BANK.
Negotiations With the New York
Syndicate Still PrOgreSSinp


CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 22.-RepOrts of
the suspension of negotiations between
New York syndicate seeking to get
control of the Mexican Mortgage bank
are denied by Sebastian Camacho, the
president of the institution, and NJ. l.,
Guiraud, representing the New York
people. The object of the syndicate is
to make more energetic and useful in
stitution, and, in particular, to avail
themselves of the right the bank pos
SeSSeS to issue certificates of merchan-
disc values. 1t is proposed to issue GER
tificateS for bar silver on precisely the
same plan as that adopted by the West
ern National bank of New York,
and it is understood that persons
interested III the Western National
are behind this movement. Encourage
ment is given to the plan by the gov
ernment here. 1t will put no obstacles
III the way of the syndicate getting con-
troll of the Mortgage bank, which has
an authorized capital Of 5000, 900. Sew
eral of the leading shareholders desire
the success of the syndicate, and the
points of difference have been mostly
adjusted, If this plan is carried out
American capital will gain predOm-
nance for the first time in a bank on
Mexican soil. There is some OppoSi-
ton to the scheme, grounded on the
apprehension that the bank, by issuing
bar silver certificates, will gain control
of the exchange business between this
country and the United States and
Europe.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-About forty people
barely escaped being burned to death
this morning i'll a fire that destroyed the
greater part of the big apartment and
store building at the southwest corner
OF Oakwood boulevard and Cottage
Grove avenue. Not one of the forty had
time to give the slightest attention to
dress, and many, including several
ladies'. were dragged out by firemen into
The frosty air unconscious. Miss Abbie
BirdSall, teacher. was found lying in
foot of water in the cellar, two hours
after the fire started. She had become
sutfocated and lost her way in the
smoke. Her recovery is not eypacted.
L. ID. Mcmillan, a gentleman fooming
in the building, is also in precarious
condition, the result of injuries re-
ceived in making his escape. a few of
the people had to be taken out of the
upper windows by means of ladders
y. p. Tregent, with his wife and baby,
was forced to climb away from the
flames to the roofs of the houses next to
the burning blo;k. Wallace l.. De
Wolf, local lawyer, owned the build

About $4,000 worth of furniture and

FeatherWeights.

New YORK, Jan. "a fatal prize
fight occurred at Fort Hamilton this
morning. The fight was between two
third-rate featherweight pugilista
known as "Billy Dempsey and
''Swip es, the NewsbOy," and was fought

dition at the start and during the first
round he fell heavily forward. as was
then supposed in a fit. A physician
was called. but the man died within
fifteen minutes. The spectators hastily
fled. and "Dempsey'ss' antagonist IL
supposed to have left the state to avoid
arrest. The proprietor of the hotel SAYS
he does not know the names of any per-
sons present at the fight. "Dempsey'S''
identity can not be aScertained, though
rumor has it that he was a preSsman on
a New York evening paper. He was
about twenty-five years old and leaves q
wife and infant child. The body will
remain at the hotel until an inquest can
be held.
Later-''Swipes" has surrendered
himself TO the police of Brooklyn and

the others concerned i'll the fight Will be-
arrested.
''Swipes, the Newsboy," is typical
newsboy i'll appearance, says he is nine
teen years old and lives at the News
boys home. According to his story q
New York sporting man named "Eddie''

Hamilton last night to see prize fight.

was to be one of the principals
and was introduced to Dempsey
as his opponent. The fight was to be
for $50 and gold watch, and occurred
in the basement of Red Leary's old
resort, the Live Oak hotel. "Swipes''
says that no blows were struck, and
that Dempsey tainted almost immedi-
ately after entering the ring. Demp-
sey's body was tonight removed by per.

borne out by the fact that the body
shows no marks. An autopsy will be

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Finley d. Brown,
of the well-known board of trade firm
of Robert LindblOm d. Co., fell or was
thrown last evening from third-story
window of the open board of trade
building, the rooms of the Century club.
and was seriously if not fatally injured.
The cause of the accident is not def
nitely known, but the ianitor of the
building says that Mr.. Brown came to
the door of the club under the influence
of liquor and asked for admission. The
members at first refused to let Mr..
Brown in, but after an ill-tempered
dialogue the door was opened. A few
moments later the janitor heard an
other racket as if a struggle was in
progress. Then came the craah of glass
and the fall to the sidewalk. The lights
were turned out, and all left immedi-
ately afterward. Mr.. Brown was con-
veyed to his home. and an examination
showed that his back was injured and
the spine affected. He is fifty years old
and has wife and family.

THAT BICYCLE RACE.
One Fakir Who Is Liable to Get
His Deserts.

Chicago Sporting journal.
The Whittaker-McCurdy five-mile BIZ
cycle race, which was to have taken
place on Thursday in Minneapolis. has
caused a sensation in bicycle circles
which will not soon be forgotten. 1t
will be seen from the above that several
prominent bicyclists are implicated in
the swindle, full particulars of which
will be made public when the facts have
have been drawn out of the principals
on the witness stand. Bob Ehlert, cap
tain of the Illinois Cycling club, whose
amateur standing has for some time
been a matter of question, has through
his connection in the matter accumu-
lated stock of dirty linen which he
but faint surprise when job
put up by professionals is
brought to light, but when an
amateur of Mr.. Ehlert's standing and
pretenSiOns is caught in the act of at
tempting to rob the public, it awakens
widespread contempt and reflects on
amateur sport in general. The l.. A.W.
should need no reminder of what is ex-
pected of it in this matter. An eX-
ample should be made and Mr.. Ehlert
iired ignominiously from its ranks. He
to all intentS and purposes became a
professional, and the worst kind at that.
when he engaged in the series of hippo
drOmeS with one of the principals in the
present Swindle. and but for the laXity
OF the laws of the l.. A. W., which do
not recognize road racing. would at that
time have forfeited his amateur stand
ing. The following letter, which speaks
for itself, stands in evidence against
him, and no statement that he can make
will explain it away:
Chicago, Dec 6-To Mr. Tanner, Mime
apolis: This will introduce to you A. A

tasted star rider in the world He has run
several hippodromes with me and is as

him to you, and have written McCurdy to
call and see you. He is training at the rink
in your city. Very truly yours,
BOB EHLERr.
Mr.. Ehlert was seen Tuesday last. but
refused to make any statement for a
few days, preferring evidently to wait
and see what course events would take.
He said, however, that a number of
others who are thought to be above re-
prOach are i'll the same boat, and will
figure in the expose Of this end of the
arrangements which he has promised to
give in few days, and which no doubt
will make some highly interesting read
ing. Such action of Ehlert's will be in
line with his conduct in this wholesale
robbery, but nothing that he can sav.
no statement til at he can make, no mat
ter whom it dragS down to his own level.
will be sufficient to square himself with
the public. From a sporting standpoint.

bitiOn at Cardiff Il DOnaldSon'S. Mime
apolis. 1t is of solid silver, ornamented
with gold beautifully chased, while a
large emerald indicates its possessor's
nationality. Weir's picture is also set
in the shield. The belt cost $500, and
was offered for the national feather
weight championship, the winner to
win three straight battles at least, and
meet all cOmers for year in order to
hold it. Weir first defeated Johnnie
Farrell in seven rounds. The battle
was the most savage that
try. both men being badly
punished. AT the close Farrell was so
terribly beaten that his life was de
SPARED of for some time. Next Weir
knocked out Arnold Rand in two rounds,
and then fought and defeated Jack
Williams in a hard fight of thirty-six
rounds. This made three victories for
the belt, but as the Williams fight was
with twO-Ounce gloves and the others
had been with skin gloves there was
something of kick about awarding the
belt, so Weir agreed to fight Willie
Clark, of Philadelphia, and did him up
to the queens taste in twenty-One
rounds. Speaking of his battles, the
Spider said yesterday: 1.-The fight with
Farrell was the hardest l have had or
expect to ever have. When |
fought Havelin that siXty-fOur-round
draw L was SO sick l could hardly go
into the ring, and if he could fight a
little bit he should have licked me
easily. AS it was he couldn't hit me.

great sleighing carnival in many years
occurred here yesterday afternoon.
Everything that could go on runners
was out and thousands of people lined
the sidewalks to witness the sport. The
procession was two and half miles
long. Many of the turnOuts were very
elegant, and from this class they graded
down to very ordinary, and even to
small sleds drawn by dogs. Farmers
came from distance to join the column.
The police kept guard at all the busiest
crossings, and regular line of march
was laid out, the marshal of the day
going over it i'll advance with Il band Of
music drawn by four horses. The pro-
cession lasted an hour and the speeding
continued over two hours.
