dispatch from Chicago says, is on his way
TO Liverpool ia the interest o. great i'm
migration scheme. The Major some years
ago obtained q grant Of several million
acres of land from the Peruvian Govern
ment. The land is desert waste in the
northern portion of Peru. Major Sears has
spent a number Of years in South America
engaged in engineering work, and he
has outlined q plan for the redemp-
ton OF this desert by irrigation.
The Peruvian Government was, SO con-
fident that his plan was practical one
that 10 coded him vast territory on con-
dition that he would carry out the plan. 1t
has been proven that with proper irriga-
ton the land can be made to produce
almost anything. 1t is especially adapted
to sugar and cotton. Major Sears win 60

BAD OMEN FOR DEMPSEY.

the Nonpareil.

the Nonpareil.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. II. - Jack
Dempsey and his old trainer, Denny
Costigan, have quarreled, and Denny
KelIeher will finish Dempsey's training
for his battle with the Australian, Billy
Mccarthy, Tuesday night. Costigan
and Pete Mccoy left the city for the
East Saturday night. The superstitious
friends of Dempsey look on Costigan's
leaving as bad omen. Pete McCoy's
departure was equally as surprising as
Costigan's, in view of the fact that two
clubs were anxious to match either
Charley Turner or Denny Kelle-
her against the eX champion
middle weight for fat purses.
There is bad blood between
Mccoy and Kelleher. who have
fought two draws, Occasioned by Nc
Coy's calling into question Kelleher's
courage and gameness in the latter's
battle with Billy Mccarthy. This Pete
others, while Kelleher's broken right
hand was encased In bandages and
splints and, of course unable to defend
himself. Kelleher says the Boston
boxer will yet retract his words or take
whipping. McCoy's departure is
taken as display of the ''white
feather" Tommy Warren has changed
his training quarters to CaZadero. He
says: "If / can't win the fight with
Australian Murphy won't lOse it. that's
certain. [ did not lose with Frank
Murphy and | won't with Billy. ] don't
go to the Occidental club to fight lin
tied number OF rounds. and l will fight

from using it on the man who held him
down. he leveied it upon the one who
held Mrs. Frengle and shot him through
the heart. The wounded man stag
gcred to his feet. reeled out of the room,
but fell dead a few steps from the
house. The man who held Frengie
then released him and made his escape.
The body OF the dead man was brought
TO CreStline this morning, where it has
been viewed by hundreds of people dur
ing the day. 1t is of a man from thirty
five to thirty-eight years of age, well

was sworn out here to-day by F. c. Lip
pincott, of this city, for the arrest of
Mrs. Julia G. Lippincott, the Atlantic
City hotel proprietress, who gained so
much nOtoriety through her wholesale
swindling operations, charging her
with forgery. No information could be
obtained as to the amount or nature Of
The forgery. Mrs. Lipp ncott left her
home in MedfOrd to-day, her destina-
ton being, it is said, Philadelphia.
Suits were brought at Mount Holly to-
day on three notes purporting TO be
signed by Mrs. Lippincott's husband
and her sister. Mrs. Haines. The de-
Tense set up is that the signatures are
$Orgeries. Mrs. Haines is very much
Frustrated. She says that, while she
has never signed her name to mort
gage or note, the defending of the suits
that will be brought against her on
papers to which her name has been
forged will render her penniless.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The assembly
of the League of American Wheelmen
began their annual meeting shortly be-
fore noon at the Grand Union hotel.
About sixty members were present
when the meeting was called to order.
James r. Dunn, of Ohio, was elected
president; DIR. w. FL. Emory, of Massa-
sachusetts, first vice president; George
r. Bidwell, of New York, second vice
president, and W. NJ. Brewster, of Mis-
souri,, treasurer. The action of the re-
firing president, c. S. Luscomb, in re-
moving Isaac II. Potter from the COM
mittee on privileges, and interfering
with state bodies in matters of legisla-
ton was disapproved, and a resolution
was adopted that each state or
ganization shall be allowed to
work for its own legislation.
1t was decided to drop the De Peyster,
now pending at Albany. and advocate
the Coggeshall bill. A personal debate
ensued over charges by l. FL. Potter
that DR.: g. S. Butler had acted treach-
erously Ill regard to these bills. 1t was
decided that section 4, article 5, of by
laws. shall refer to road racing, and
each state organization was empowered
to have its own uniforms made. The
next annual tournament will be held at
Niagara Aug. "a, &c and 81.
