WHIPPED BY A BANTAM.
"Swipes. the Newsboy," Does Up
n SiX-FoOteP.


New YORK, Dec. 2S.-"Swipes, the
newsboy," of this city, and Jack Bren-
nan, of Brooklyn, fought to a finish on
Long Island to-day. Brennan is strap
ping big fellow, nearly six feet in
height, and weighs sabout 100 pounds.
Swipes is bantam of about l20 pounds,
and when the two men entered the ring
the contrast was something remarkable.
Swipes started in in the first round as
though he had ''cinch," but be-
fore the round was over. he stopped
one of Brennan's swinging right-hand-
efs with his face. which daZed him for
some seconds. Brennan could have flu
ished him there and then. but instead
stood still till SwipeS recovered. LII
the second round Brennan forced the
fighting. while Swipes acted on the de-
fenslve and let his opponent tire him
self. S"iDes was knocked, or rather
pushed, through the ropes i'll the early
part of the third round, and later on,
during some hard in-fighting, Brennan
back-heeled SwipeS and threw him heav-
lily to the floor. Brennan was warned
against this style of unfair fighting.
Swipes changed his tactics in the fourth
round and began to play for the big
fellows heart and wind. He got in
several effectual blows on Brennan'S
stomach, and the latter seemed very
glad when the round was ended. In
the fifth round Swipes went at his man
in the same style, and soon had him so
weak that he was able to change his
point of attack to the head and face.
He had Brennan falling all over the
ropes. and would have knocked him out

The New Railway Agreement Will
Probably Be Adopted.

Ing of the railway presidents to com
plete the organization of the new asso-
citation has been changed from Jan. to
Jan. 5, and the place of meeting has
also been changed from Chicago to the
Windsor hotel in New York city. This
change was made on Saturday by tele-
graph. In response to President Mill
er's telegram asking if it would be con-
venient to hold the meeting in Chicago
on Jan. &, it was found that quite a
number of the railway presidents,
some Of them representing the largest
lines in the country, could not con-
veniently attend meeting on that date
and in that city. AS result of this a
conference was held on Friday between
some of the largest interests involved.
and kilograms were sent out asking if
the 5th of January and the Windsor
hotel in this city, would be a conven-
lent time aud place for the meeting.
Saturday responses were received as
senting to the change. and the call was
issued by wire by MIR. Miller naming the
changed date and place. The best
judgment of those most deeply inter-
eSted is that at this meeting the new
agreement will be unanimously adopted
and be put in force at the earliest prac-
ticable daV.

How Maine Lunatic Stopped a
Train With a Rusty Sword.

How a Maine LtInatie Stopped q
Train With a Rusty Sword.
Lewiston Journal.
The first appearance of a railway train
in the city of Portland was source of
great wonderment to most of the coun-
try people who used to visit the place
for the purpose Of marketing their prod
uce. Large crowds used to gather
about the time of the incoming train.
Among those who used to lounge about
the depot was an elderly man who for
several years had been an inmate of the
poorhouse.
His tall, manly form, erect carriage
and finely cut face plainly indicated a
good intellect originally, and man who
had seen better days. 1t was said that
he once held an Office of high rank in
the state militia, but insanity had
brought him to grief and want. He used
to travel the city throught each day, ar
rayed in his regimentals, with a dilapi-
dated cooked hat, pair of rusty apau-
letteS and bigh-topped boots, armed
tattered flag. For many years he was
known as "Gen. Warren"
One day an uncommonly great crowd
stood in and about the depot awaiting
the morning train. Soon the rattle of
the cars was heard in the distance. The
general was seen to dart from among
the crowd and rush along the track
and waving his flag and gestieulating
violently with his sword, at the same
time IN loud and peremptory tone or
dering a halt. The engineer, thinking
some obstruction was on the track,
whistled down brakes, and quickly, as
if III obedience to the generals order,
came to stop.
The general stood his ground without
uttering word.
Whats the matter?" inquired the
engineer, as soon as he came within
hailing distance.
why" coolly replied the general, .sI
have fought and vanquished lions, bears,
tigers. Yea, men. Do you suppose am

BLOCKED THE TRACK,
Trouble Between Two Railways al
Omaha.

OMAHA. Dec. 2S.-Last July the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
began to run its freight trains into
Omaha over the Union Pacific bridge.
Early in the year the Union Pacific
had made a contract with the Rock
Island and the Milwaukee giving these
roads equal privileges over the Union
Pacific tracks between Council Bluffs
transfer and South Omaha. Last week
the Milwaukee made arrangements with
the union depot company to run its
passenger trains into the Omaha union
depot. This service was to begin to-
day. Late last night, however, the
Union Pacific sent word TO the Milwau-
kee that it could no longer use the
bridge. When Milwaukee freight un-
dertook to cross about midnight the
crew found the switches double-!o locked.
Formal demands and refusals we're
made. This morning the Milwaukee
undertook TO get passenger train
across, but the Union Pacific blocked
the track with all engine. s. ii. Fl.

been in conference all the afternoon

Then followed in quick succession:
'Jack: Dutch fiush."
Bill: Queens up."

his hand down on the table face up, and
say. in anything but an amiable tone of
voice:

now hanging his head for shame, that
FIJI bet you hundred you never play
another game of poker in this office, and
I'll go you five hundred that you don't
work for this company after this month. !"
There was some further talk and re-
elimination, but it will suffice to say
that Jim thought he got off we'll without
getting sound thrashing. An exami-
nation of the premises showed how easily
titioned off with painted glass and the
round table was placed i'm one corner.
This pleased old poker players, who al
ways like to get into corner, so no one
can get in behind them, and possibly
signal their hands across the table. But
1t enabled Jim'S assistant, the young
telegraph operator in the next room, to
look through little peep-holes where the
paint had been scratched off the glass,
and to see and report. through the in
Strument, to his superior, the cards in
the hands of his opponents. 1t is only
necessary to say in conclusion that Jim
resigned his position on the road and
left the town in disgrace. This only oc-
CURED very short time ago, and the
scheme being absolutely new as well as
extremely unique, Jim may have gone
out West to put it in operation on some

HIS FAMILY did't think he was quite in

had taken his razor with him. The
neIghbors were told about his act, and
all night scores OF people searched the
forests and swamps all about his house
for many miles. One neighbor said he
met the old man going rapidly toward
swamp at nine O'Clock in the morning
ON the day he disappeared. On the fol-
lowing day still bigger searching parties
hunted for the fugitive.
Several days later two men hunting
coOns penetrated into the thick depths
OF a great swamp few miles from Mr..

dogs barking in furious way far
ahead OF them. On reaching the dog
the hunters found him standing over
the corpse of the missing man. He
had unloosened all his clothes, even
his shirt. carefully laid them back. a i'd
