The Illinois Fair Bill.

SPRINGFIELD, H., August 6.-Gr ave
doubts of the constitutionality of sd me
of the provisions of the worlds fair
bill are entertained by the chief exc Gu
tive, and the bill may fail to becon q a
law after all. The constitutional oues-
tion involved is simply this: The legis-
lature has declared that the submerF red
lands may be filed, reclaimed and d ed
by the city of Chicago for a ark.
When any. part thereof shall be u ed
for any other purpose the whole shall
revert to the state. In brief, it creates
a new park and legislates away the
title to such submerged land as may be
reclaimed, the same being the prou ger
ty OF the state. The amendments are
not, it is claimed, within the purv1 ew
of the call. which would seem to on
template giving to the worlds fair only
the use OF public grounds of either
state, city or park for purposes of the

st. PauI's Census Troubles,

WASHINGTON, August 6.-The citi-
zens' committee of St. Paul had an
other conference with the secretary of
the interior with reference to the pro-
posed recount of the population of that
city. The committee, while freely ad-
hitting that the work of enumerating
nine of the city districts had been so
carelessly and inaccurately done as to
render further Investigations and cor
rections of errors necessary, they
strongly objected to recount of the
whole city as unnecessary and unjust
to its people. The committee pro-
posed that Il full recount be made
under the direction of Superintendent
Porter of these nine districts or return
the schedules of the districts men,
toned to st. Paul and there correct
and verify them. The secretary stated
that he was not prepared TO rescind
the order for a recount, but it was his
desire that the work of investigation
now in progress by Porter be pushed
to a conclusion, and when that was
done he would further consider the
question of the necessity of recount.

A Treatment for Drunks More EhicncIoua
Thnn Sole Clubbing.
BlakeIy Hall in Brooklyn Eagle.1
The pastime of clubbing the soles of
mans feet, diversion peculiar to the
guardians of the peace in their efforts to
rouse drunk" is not regarded with gem
eral fsvor-at least not by those who never
have any dealings with drunken men, and
whose knowledge of what should be their
treatment is purely theoretical. But there
is another method of treatment which is GER
tainly as eficacious and apparently not so
hurtful. One night recently saw police
man bend over PROSTATE form in the
street.
SECT up, he said, shaking the man by
the shoulder. There was no response.
Turning him on his side, the officer began to
rub the unfortunate's ear in amost energetic
manner. It was not 80 seconds before there
were grunts and groans from the victim Of
the treatment. A couple of minutes steady
application brought the man to his feet. He
was sober enough to go home and the officer
sent him on his way. It was wonder that
the poor man had a vestige of his ear left.
Whenever you want to sober a drunk,
just rub his ear," remarked the officer care
lessly, as he walked away.

lam A. Wallace's connection with railroad
corporations is said to have lost him much
of his popularity with the poor rank and
file in the neIghborhood in which he lives.
He is wealthy and a railroad magnate.
His railroad is an important feeder TO the
Reading system, but some people | have
talked to say that fact has not secured them
any more generous terms and treatment
than they get at the hands of the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad. Others believe he would
make weak Gubernatorial candidate, for
the reason that the powerful Pennsylvania
Railroad influence would be brought to
bear to defeat him quicker than any other
candidate, because Of his connection with
rival road and his attitude on the question
of freight discrimination.
This class of Democrats don't mean to
say that they do not want a candidate who
is not opposed to railroad monopolies, but
they believe that they must have one with
as little as possible aggravation about him,
so as not to excite the ire of powerful
enemy. Pattison, they think, would be
more powerful factor. Had the Constitu-
tional amendment been adopted last sum-
mer, Chauncey f. Black, with his famous
personal liberty platform, would have been
the nominee, but whisky still flows and
Chauncey is dead issue for time.

FIGHTING AT A BAPTISM.

Young Women Engage in HnIr-PuIIinE Be-
fore n Large Congregation.
LOUISVILLE, February IA successful
revival has been going on at the Methodist
church in Utica, small village six miles
up the river from Jacksonville. The other
evening the pastor announced to his con-
gregation that the meetings would come to
a close and on the following day there would
be baptisr al service in the Ohio river.
There was large number of the flock pres
ent at the waters edge yester-
day afternoon to witness the baptism
OF those who had taken member
ship in the church. Among those in at
tendance were Miss Mary Hooper, aged 10
years, and Miss Rachel Ferguson. who is
only enc year her senior, said to be the
handsomest girls in the village. Between
these two, after a red-hot conversation,
there took place one of the liveliest hair
pulling times in Utica for several decades.
Miss Ferguson sustained badly-damaged
nose and black eye from the fist Of Miss
Hooper. When the congregation thought
it about time to part the female belligereDls,
Miss Hooper defed anyone to touch her,
and intimated to Mrs. Wesley, the preach
er's wife, that she would get hurt if she did
not get out of her way.
Mrs. Wesley endeavored to pacify Miss
Hooper by explaining to her that she was
simply acting in the capacity of peace
maker, and that she thought it very un-
ladylike that such proceedings at Gods
fountain should exist. Miss Hooper finally
appeared very penitent, was constrained 10
tears, and after asking forgiveness of those
around her, including Miss Ferguson, the
rites of baptism were resumed and six i'm
mersions were made.

AGAINST THE ROADS.
An Interstate Commerce Decision Forbid
ding DISCRIMINATION In Corn Rates
The PennsylVania and Bal
timore and Ohio Affected.

timOre and Ohio Affected
WASHINGTON, February THE Inter
State Commerce Commission rendered de-
cision to-day in the case of Harvey Bates
and H. Bates, Jr., owners of the Indianapo-
lis Honiny Mills, against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, the Pennsylvania Com
pany and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company in favor of complainants. This
case involves the question of whether a diff
ference in the rates on corn and on corn pro-
ducts from Indianapolis east to the sea-
board is legal, and the commission decides
as follows:
The defense of water competition from Chi.
cago and the Lake shipping points to sea-
board points east, as justification for an
otherwise unjustifiable discrimination in rates
between corn and its direct products from
indianapolis to said seaboard points, was held
to be uDtenable, owing TO the situation of
Indianapolis as to the lakes and the location
of the territory where the corn was mainly
raised that was marketed at Indianapolis, and
to the other facts established in this case.
When an existing classification and rate are
shown to operate injuriously to the carriers
from given point or to give undue advantage
to shippers, change is not justihable that
materially INJURIES an important industry and
a class of shippers at the point who have
built up the industry in reliance upon con-
tinuation of the previous classification and
rate first established and long maintained by
the carriers themselves without complaint
from any quarter. Such change in classitica-
tiOn and rate would subject the persons en-
gagged in the industry and the locality and the
particular traffic to unreasonable disadvantage
within the prohibition of section 8, of the act
to regulate commerce.
A discrimination between the rates on corn
and its direct products from given locality
resulting from reduction of the rate
on corn below the rate on its
direct products, which subjected per-
sons in that locality engaged in the business of
manufacturing corn into its direct products
and of selling the same, to unreasonable preju-
dice or disadvantage. and was without neces-
sity or advantage to the carrier, or any reason
founded on the character or condition of the
traffic, held to be in violation of section of the
act to regulate commerce, Notwithstanding the
new rate on corn was reported to all persons
equally and with equal service. When carriers
other than the respondents of record are COM
mitting the same violations of the act to regulate
commerce as the respondents, an order may issue
against the respondents and the case be held
for the purpose of bringing such other carriers
into the case to be proceeded against unless
they comply with the order.

A LONG, HARD FIGHT.
THE MCARTHY-DIXON MATCH IN
CLASSIC BOSTON.


The Principals In Prime Conditional Lot Of
Secrecy About the Place of Meeting
Big Money Bet A Very
Lively Battle.
BOSTON, February TN this town to-
night there are men who would be quite
willing to place spot cash from 500 clear up
to $4OO and $500 to know where Dixon and
Mccarthy are at this writing. The fight be-
tween these two bantams, fixed to be pulled
off tonight, is, however limited "scrap, !"
limited as to the number of those who
shall be witnesses. The men with
money but no information are
such as are not desirable
at a ring side, and they won't be there when
the lads square to each other. The lett-at-
homes not knowing, however, may be vastly
nearer the fighters while the affair is in pro-
gress than they now have any notion. Night
before last Jack McMasters and his young
colored pet went out of town, presumably to
meet the young Jerseyman Mccarthy, who
should meet them to-day to weigh in.
CONDITION OF THE PRINCIPALS.
Little Dixon, the 114pound champion,
when last seen was in prime form, while
Mccarthy, after punching a ball smsrtly
for an half hour held the scales at poise on
the 115H-pound notch. He knows the
proVerbial hardness Of the African top fix
ture, and his training has been largely bent
to heart and body blows. The rumors that
the ebon fighter would rush him to death
from the ''go" and kill him in the first five
rounds reached the Jersey LAD and he
smiled.
The men who are doing the knitting
weaving plan for successful retirement and
quiet, would have the anxious believe there
are two halls engaged, many miles apart.
In accord with this tip, the talent are scour-
ing in widely opposite directions for the bat
on the result of the event. No
odds have been had in this city,
though the colored lad will doubtless be the
favorite at the ring side. There are compli-
cations, too, which render 1t not at all
improbable that both principals may be at
l A. N. asleep under city roofs, no fight
having taken place.
THE BATTLE IN PROGRESS.
LATER-The complications referred to
clubhouse in South Boston the principals
and their retinues were. got in readiness.
A semi-surveillance rendered it judicious to
have the contest considered for points, and
medals and all that, but it was good Tor
blood.
At the forty-ninth round Dixon had the
best of the fight. In the sixty-ninth he was
still holding out and proving the better man.
The fight was declared draw at the end
of the seventieth round.

A DASTARDLY DEED.
An Assassination Which Resembles the
Murders Committed by the MOllie
Nagulres-A Special Officer
of the Reading Road
Killed.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i

hllle0s
ESPECIAL rELEeRAM TO THE D1sPArCHi
READING, PA, February THE mur-
der of Engineer Patrick Haganey near
Phenixville was, in many respects, very
much like the dastardly assassinations of
the Mollie Maguires. Haganey was 40
years old, and was employed by the
Reading Railroad Company as engineer
OF their pumping station near
Phenixville, where the locomotives are
supplied with water. When not working
there, and when on the day turn, he was
engaged as a special officer to guard the
company's loaded coal trains, and he
assisted in breaking up illegal liquor
selling. Haganey made oath against one
Barney Mellon, well known character of
Tunnel Hill, alleging that Mellon sold coal
to Huns stolen from the Reading railroad.
Mellon was committed to Jail on the day
set apart for his trial, and when Hsganey
was in the Court House Mellon was dis
charged from custody because Haganey
did not appear against him. At
that time Haganey's friends thought
he might have been scared or
intimidated, and that he failed to push the
prosecution, believing Mellon had been suf-
uC1e0Ll y puulSQeu. Luis was ABOUT q week
or ten days ago. Haganey had also
assisted in raiding a saloon, in which
this same Mellon was interested.
This was the condition of affairs up to last
Saturday night. Haganey went on duty at
the pumping station, although it was not
his night on.
At about 80 on Sunday morning a sharp
pistol shot was heard, and soon thereafter
Station Agent Higgins saw a man reel
ing up toward the tracks
from the pumping station. He
was holding his abdomen with
both hands as though in great pain. The
man was Engineer Haganey. Suddenly he
reeled and iell. The agent summoned
doctor, who probed for the ball, but
failed to find it. Haganey appeared to
be in mortal agony and would say nothing.
Haganey fingered in mortal agony, sur
rounded by his wife, Father Kelly and
Magistrate List. Before he died he made a
statement in presence of witnesses that the
man who shot him was Barney Mellon.
