FROM SAN ANTONIO.
Two Sensations at the Alamo City-AnOtheI
Prize Fight on the Taps.

Two Sensations at the Alamo City-AnOtheI
Prize Fight on the Taps.
BAN ANTONIO, Tex, February 14--Sport-
ing circles are all agog tonight over the two
latest sensational events. The first was
caused by the district attorney, Paschal, who
seems thoroughly determined to exter-
inmate gambling in the city. He obtained
from Judge Noonan today injunctions en-
joining the proprietors of buildings from
permitting their houses to be used for
gambling purposes, which will have
the effect of absolutely closing up
all gambling establishments in the city. In
addition to this Mr.. Paschnl announces his
intention of tomorrow applying for injunc-
tons enjoining the slayer of Ben Thomp-
son and other leaders of the gambling fra
ternlty from engaging or participating in
any gaming whatever.
The second event, which has stirred up
the sports, is the tour-ounce glove fight to
finish Marquis of QueenSberry rules, be-
tween the lightweights Devine and Ray
mond, which will positively occur some
time tomorrow morning. The exact loca-
ton of the mill is unknown though il is
understood that arrangements have been
made with the Southern Pacific road
to transport the sluggers and large party
of spectators west on that road tomorrow
morning, probably to point Just beyond
the county line, in order to avoid interfer-
ence from the officers here. Both men are
in the finest of condition and have been ex-
cellently trained. Thousands of dollars
are staked on the result and the event
promises to be exciting.

Pioneer Democratic CLUB.

The opening of their new rooms by the
Pioneer Democratic Club, of Hudson
county, was celebrated last evening at
Henkel's casino. President r. J.. Nc
MILAN sat at the head of the table with
Henry Speilman and e. p. Reichhelm at
his right and left. About sixty Jolly
good fellows, including two or three Re-
publicans, partook zealously of the cola
tion provided and responded to the
several toasts with draughts of foaming
beer.
The president, in a short address, spoke
of the Pioneer Club as a valuable auxili-
AIRY to the 'new Democracy, of which
Grover Cleveland is the leader and expo
nent,n and tnen introduced as a new re-
cruit" Captain e. p. Reichhelm, who
claimed that from his Doyhood he had
been a Jeffersonian Democrat. He con
tended chat Jefferson was a Free Soil
Democrat. and that there was no differ
ence between his views and those of the
immortal Lincoln. The speaker had
shouldered his musket and for five years
had marched and fought in defense of
Jeffersonian principles, and had been
identified for u time with the Republican
party, because for that time it repre-
sented the principles of Jefferson. He
defined the principles of Democracy as
those of equal and exact justice to all
men, and legislation for the interest OF
Inc masses. he advocated civil service
Reform as an essential feature of Democ-
racy; favored a reform of the ballot, and
condemned ballot box stuffing, and con
cluded by giving good advice to the mem
bers as to their political action.
Henry Spielman, Emil Steger, Coroner
George Brackner, Herman Trapper and
others delivered short addresses, and the
pleasant informal gathering was emil
yened by songs and toasts. Among tht
hitter was one. drunk tn thf
last Democratic President, Grover Cleve
land, and the probable next Democratic
President, Leon Abbett,p which awoke
great enthusiasm.

R0SSEAUS BLOODY CUFFS.
A New Bit Of Proof in the
Berkeley Arms Murder.

Some very important evidence
against Jules P. Rosseau, the alleged
murderer of Jack Murphy in the
Berkeley Arms Hotel, was brought
out yesterday. Detective Kirschman
surprised the authorities by produc-
ing a pair of shirt cuffs and pointing
out the marks of blood upon them.
These cuffs he had found at the very
bottom of bag of soiled linen. They
had been washed but not ironed. Ever
an unusual amount of bluing had
failed to conceal the tell-tale crimson
blotches. When a microscope was
brought the spots were very distinct.
Kirschman also produced the
wedges which had been used to prop
open one of the folding doors of the
dining-room. This is another link in
the evidence already gathered that
Murphy was shot from the ambush
between the folding doors and the
screens at the dining-room entrance.
The detective has so far been unable
to find the vest, ~undershirt and trous-
ers worn by Rosseau on the morning
of the shooting. He is, however, con
vinced that they have not been des-
troyed, but hidden away. The ashes
in the only stove in which there was
fire contains no evidence that the sus-
picious clothing was burned.
The report from the Jail, which is
well authenticated, that Rosseau is
b~ecolningin a measure Respondent and
low spirited is regarded as a probable
ity that he is weakening.
Mary Mcpherson, the girl who had
Mrs. Rosseau bound over to keep the
peace last summer while she was head
waitress at the Berkeley Arms, is be-
ing looked for by the prosecutor. She
will be an important witness for the
State,

TO Increase Their stock.

The Interstate Fair Association
are likely to increase the amount Of
their capital stock again. Secretary
John G. Muirheid is ,canvassing
among the stockholders to get the
consent of the necessary two-tbirds.
All but two that have so far been seen
have given consent. The plan is to
increase the stock to $3.50, 900. 1t is
o 800, 900. 1t is not proposed to
sell at once the whole amount of this
increase. There is a debt of $12, 900
against the association. Enough will
be sold to wipe out this and realize
enough more to grade and put in good
condition the fair grounds about the
exhibition buildings--about SIG. 900
in all. Many of the stockholders ex-
press themselves in favor of selling
the whole amount and putting up a
machinery hall with power. They be-
lieve that this would prove a great
drawing card.

A BOLD SCh-ME.

Arrest of Two Men at Denver, Col, Who
Had Plotted to Kidnap Ex-senator
Tabor and Hold Him for = Ransom.
DENVER, COL, Feb. 15.-The police on
Friday arrested Oscar Roberts and Ar
thur Butcher on charge of conspiracy
to kidnap ex-senator Tabor and hold
him for ransom of $50, 200. November
z, 1889, Roberts wrote letter from Pin
con, N. NJ, to Butcher, who was in

here, and by some means the police got
hold of the letter and caused their arrest.
When taken to headquarters they denied
that they had any intentions of carry
ing out the scheme, but they were held
until they confessed. Roberts is but
% years old and Butcher 81. On &C
count of their youth Mr.. Tabor refused
to prosecute them and they were re-
leased from custody.

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. Is - Toronto
University, the most magnificent pile

structures on the continent, was de-
stroyed by fire Friday evening. The fire
broke out just before the annual CONVEX
sazione and arrangements had been made
for 1900 guests. The fire was caused
by man dropping lighted lamp. One
domestic was seriously burned. The
library, worth 100000, and the
museum, containing valuable collec-
ton, were entirely destroyed. The loss
is estimated at $500, 900. The university

A BANK ROBBED.

SALEM, ILL.,, Feb 15.-At 8 O'Clock

came to the bank and unlocked tha
aoor as usual and stepped inside. He
at once detected strong odor like pow
der, and, having proceeded into the Of
dee, he made the startling discovery that
the door OF the vault was open. Upon
looking in he was still further shocked
to see the door of the safe shattered.
The bank had been entered by burglars
and robbed. The cashier at once gave
the alarm. The news spread rapidly
and soon hundreds of citizens repaired
to the bank. Great excitement prevailed,
and many OF the depositors were fearful
lest the robbery should result in
the loss of their deposits. They were
soon assured, however, by a notice
signed by the cashier, that, though the
extent of the robbery had not been
ascertained, the depositors need
have no uneasiness as they would
not be allowed to suffer any
loss in consequence of the robbery.
Later another notice was posted up
signed by the president General j. s.
Martin, and the cashier, that the bank
would open for business to-day as usual.
The statement was subsequently made
that the amount Of the robbery would
not reach $15, 900, but it is believed by
many that it will far exceed this sum.
The vault was built about two years
ago, when new safe with a time lock
and the latest Improvements was pur-
chased The safe was guaranteed to be
burglar-proof. The door of the vault
was double, heavy iron one, and with
feeling of security no one slept in the
bank and there was no aight-watchman.
Parties have been securing the country
in search of the robbers, but thus far no
clew has been obtained.
