INV YORK. April 11.-Richard K. Foz
il determined that Weir and Murphy
shall come together again and settle the
featherweight championship without un-
necessary delay. To accomplish this IL
is probable that within a few days he will
issue a notice to Weir to defend his title,
and should the Spider refuse to come
up to the scratch, the announcement will
be made that no teatherweight champion
Of the world is on the records, that the
belt is open to all corners. Murphy,
whose stock has gone up 100 per cent.
since be stood up and took his
medicine 80 pluckily from the Spider,
is, it is understood, ready to go into
the ring at any time either to finish the
old fight or to make a new one, either
with Weir or anyone else. Advices from
Chicago say that several thousand dol
lars are still locked up in consequence of
Billy Myers game refusal to declare the
recent fight a draw, and that the Streator
man is in entire accord with Fox's plan.
The opinion prevails, moreover, In sport
ing circles that hereafter fights of this
nature should take place under London
prize ring rules, under which the referee
a compel both men to 60 for each
other, instead of walking around the ring
for forty or fifty straight rounds.

offered by the Woodstown, N. j., Ma
tional bank has involved those institu-

ical aspect. As the Salem bank receives
ON deposit daily a large number of the
Woodstown banks checks, a messenger

Salem people the cashier imported from
Philadelphia thousands of dollars in silver,
counted out in bags, to meet these checks
semi-weekly. Messenger Powell, whom
the Salem bank sent down last week,
protested, whereupon the cashier yester-
day, when Powell appeared with S4, 800
in checks, wheeled out the money in a
wheelbarrow to the middle of the bank
and dumped the whole amount loose on
the floor, compelling Powell to count out
the entire amount. When bags were
asked for in which to carry the money tc
Salem, the cashier politely responded
that banks were not in the habit of fur
nishing patrons with purses. Powell
sent back for q wagon and an armed
guard to assist him in the transportation
of his burden. The war continues and !

Removed for Cause,

DEs MONIES, a., April 10.-For sew
eral months past the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy officials have been suspicious
Of several Of its conductors, and recently
detectives were put upon the trains to
quietly Investigate the alleged shortcom-
ings of the delinquent ticket punchers.
AS a result Conductors Drake, run
ming between Abba and Des
Moines, Taylor and Hannoppy, of
the main line, were relieved from duty
and other men put on in their places.
The specific cause Of their removal re.
mains clouded in some mystery, but an
official of the road in a position to be
aware of the fact. today stated that il
was owing TO a failure of the conductors
reports to tally in accordance with the
cash balance sneet. All the discharged
men nave been in the employ Of the com
pany for years and have, until recently,
been regarded with the greatest cont
dence by their superiors, and Drake re-
sides in this city, while Taylor and Han
noppy reside at Ottumwa and Burling-
ton, respectively. The release OF these
men accounts for the presence Of Super
intendent j. b. Maxon in this city, and
during Sunday and a portion Of today,
his mission being to relieve the old men
and install new conductors in their places.
All conductors on the branches and main
line have been under surveillance for sew
eral weeks past, but several Of the main
line soon caught on and to one Of the
conductors, a detective, when confronted
with the evidence Of his mission, con
fessed. In less than two days all the old
conductors were IN the alert, and instead
of a wholesale dismissal as contemplated
at first, only three were caught.

Cotton Duck Flour Barrels.

A wonderful revolution in -four barrel
making is promise d by a patent which
has been granted for the making of bar
rels out of cotton duck instead of wood.
The new material is impervious to water
and resists lire for long time. 1t weighs
to the barrel about 16 pounds less than
the wood, and can be manufactured ten
per cent cheaper. The cotton duck bar
rels can be rolled up into small space
and returned to the mills for frequent
use. The barrels can thus be returned as
solid goods and thus save space. The
flour merchants of Atlanta have given it
a fair trial, and pronounce it success.

An Aged Mule.


Gainesville CGa.) Tribune.
Mr.. W. ]. A. Goolsby, of this county,
claims to be the owner of the oldest mule
in the State. 1t was born in the spring
of 1852, in Virginia, and was then the
property of Mr.. Shafter When the
war commenced Mr.. Shaffter entered the
army with his mule, and rode him three
years, when Mr.. S. and the mule were
both captured by the Yankees. The mule
then served one year in the Union ranks,
when he was abandoned to live or die,
but fortunately for him, Mr.. Goolsby ran
across him and brought him to Georgia,
where he has been in active service ever
since. Mr.. G. was offered $3.50 for the
mule at one time, but refused to sell him,
as it seemed like parting with one of the
family to sell Nebuchadnezzar. He is still
able to do as much work as any mule,
and could kick the roof uff OF the stable,
but he has quit such tricks and settled
down to quiet life.

a LETTER FROM MRS. HERON,
The Missionary Reported to
Have Been Murdered.

BOSToN, October 11.-The Traveller
prints, under date OF Zoul, Korea, Sep
tember Sd, a letter from Mrs. Hattie G.
Heron, wife of DR.. Heron, of Tennessee,
who was reported to have been sentenced
to death by the King of Korea for teach
ing Christianity. Mrs. Heron says she
has just passed through a long and
dangerous illness, which has left her a
mere ghost of her former self. She
asserts that the King Of Korea would
not do what has been charged against
him, and adds: "He is man of great
strength of character, kindness of heart,
and noble ambition. Moreover, this
King and the Queen have been most
cordial and generous in their personal
treatment of DR.. Heron and myself
They will do all in their power to protect
us. Our only danger is from the ignor-
ant and supefStitious lower class, who il
aroused, might kill us before the King
could rescue us from them, but as Dr.
Heron has, with his own hands, treated
about 10000 sick Koreans, who are
very grateful to him, it is not likely that
they will rise up against him or his
family, whatever they may do to
Others"
Mrs. Heron states several incidents to
show their friendly relations with the
royal family, and concludes her interest
ing letter as follows: Let me say posi-
lively that DR.. Heron and are not
preaching or teaching Christianity ex,
cept by an example which we earnestly
pray may be worthy of the name OF
Christians. The laws OF the land forbid
it, and through the United States Minis
ter about year ago American mission
aries were absolutely forbidden TO teach
their religion, but we long for the time
when our treaty shall be revised and the
freedom of religion allowed. Until that
time we are doing all in our power to
gain the confidence and respect of the
people, with what success you may
Judge from my letter"
