NIPPED BY POLICE.
TIE MAULIFFE-SLAVIN FIGHT PREVENTED
BY THE AUTHORITIES
Both Men Give Bail to Appear in Court To-Day,
The Proprietor Of the Club Says the
"Pslicans7 Were at the Bottom
Of the Interference.

LONDON, September 22.-McAuliffe
was arrested at his lodgings in this city
this morning. Upon his arrival at the
railway station, Slavin entered cab
and was Immediately placed under ar
rest. He was conveyed quietly to the
Lambeth police station. The prisoners
were arraigned and bound in f2,000
each to appear before the court to-
morrow.
Richard X. Fox, of New York, in an
interview, denounced the arrest OF Sla-
vim and McAuliffe as an outrage. He
said it was not proposed to have prize
fight, but only a limited round contest
with ordinary gloves, and there was no
reason why the police should interfere
Both men were in splendid condition
and anxious to have fair contest, and
the police had no reason TO anticipate a
breach of the peace. The fight was
nothing but what often occurs openly in
England and America.
Mr. Temple, proprietor OF the Or
monde Club, said he believed the man
agement OF the Pelican Club was at the
bottom OF the matter. If the fight had
been arranged by a fashionable West
End club, the police would not have in
terfered. In his opinion, the Pelicans
were Jealous, and he had expected all
along that they would try to stop the
fight. He did not believe there was
anything ''snide" about the two fight
erS, who were both anxious to see
which was the better man.
In court the Police Inspector said the
match was to be a prize fight and the
gloves were thin around the knuckleS
and would produce severe punishment.
The secretary of the Ormonde Club de-
posed that the gloves were ordinary
boxing gloves, and said the arrest had
been caused by jealous members Of the
Pelican Club, which the Inspector de-
MED. The case was adjourned in order
to produce the gloves in court, the mag
istrate warning the principals to not go
on with the fight. Tomorrow the legal
question will be argued, as the sudden
arrest prevented the prisoners from
securing counsel.
A meeting of those Interested in the
Slavin- McAulifTe fight was held at the
Ormonde Club this evening, when II
was resolved that in the event of the
courts giving an adverse decision the
match should be decided abroad.
Billy Madden, McAuliife's trainer,
claims that Slayin is afraid of the
American. and believes he did not want
to meet McAulifTe, while others say they
were arrested because the Prince OF
Wales was going to attend the
fight. At a meeting at the Pelican Club
to-day. Lord LOnSdalc and Richard h.
Fox. decided should Frank p. Slayin
and Joe McAuiife fail by the interfer-
ence of the authorities, TO bring of the
fight for e1.OOO and the Police Gazette
championship bel. in the Ormonde Club,
that rather than see the match fall
through they will each put up the origi-
nal purse offered by the Ormondc Club,
$500 each, and bring the fight
off on the continent with limited num-
Der of spectators on each side. This de-
cision was published here and Richard
X. Fox and Lord Lonsdalc were highly
commended.

ALuMINuM FROM CLAY.
4 Chicago Chemists Process for Making
This Scarce Metal.

CHICAGO, September 22.-ProfessOr
Joseph NJ. Hirsch, of this city, has ex-
hibited the process by which he is en-
abled to extract aluminium from clay at
a cost Of only few cents per pound.
He declares that the process is en-
tirely different from any known to the
books. The announcement of this dis
covery was made some time ago with
the result that he was attacked as a
fraud.
Il have solved the problem of extract
ing the metal faOm an aqueous soiu-
tion, said Professor Hirsch," and the
process has been so Modified that it is
surprisingly cheap and requires but lit
tie labor. Pure kaolin or clay contains
80 per cent. of aluminium. From the
clay which | am using can get 1873
per cent. metal; that is, from two bar
relS, or 600 pounds, OF clay | can get
100 pounds of aluminium. Professor
Richards, Of Lehigh University, in his
new work on aluminium, intimates that
the metal cannot be extracted from
clay i'm the manner that | have done It,.
1t will take me only Il few minutes to
demonstrate to you that my invention
is bona flde. | will show you through
the works"
After promising not 10 publish the de-
tails Of the new method, the reporter
was taken to the factory, and there was
shown the manner in which Prof.
Hirsch's discovery is operated. With
out going into details it may be said
that the process is entirely different
from any mentioned in works on chem
stry, and is very clearly no infringement
OF the Cleveland or PittSburg patents.
"And you still say you can produce
the metal for - cents pound?' the re-
porter asked.
"FOr much less than that. If COM
plete my arrangements for cheap power,
can reduce the labor to such small
item that the metal will cost only few
cents a pound Ofcourse the aluminium
will be sold at the present market price
for time, as it will be impossible to
turn out a big supply all at once. First
the metal will be made up into articles
common to Britannia ware. Machines
for shipping metal can be procured at
once. and by making up this line OF
goods we will bc able TO get SIS or $40 a
pound. Aftcrward we can turn ont
greater amounts and will manufacture a
variety OF articles or sell the metal in
bricks or shot. II will be a long time
before the metal will be produced in
such quantities as TO warrant its use in
building houses, ears or vessels, al
though the inventor Of the Thompson
patent car has already arranged to con-
Struct four slccpers Of aluminium for the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad

COLUMBUS. o.. September 22.-Con-
siderable interest is taken in political
matters in the Eighth Congressional
district. Although against the wishes
Of Ex-Governor Foster, he was unani-
mously nominated for Congress at the
Carey convention last week. The dis
trict is almost hopeeSsly Democratic
and the Democratic candidate, Mr.
Hare. is the strongest man in his party
and warm friend Of Mr.. Foster. The
Ex-Governor is still in the East, but will
be at home in Il couple of days. 1t is
the opinion Of many of his friends in
the city that he will positively decline,
under the circumstances, to make the
fight. Mr.. Hare will receive many
votes which had some other Democrat
been nominated would have gone TO Mr.
Foster. Before the convention Mr.
Foster stated that his various business
enterprises required his entire time and
that lac could not accept the nomina-
ton.

SrEUBENvILLE, September 22.-At
one o'clock this afternoon the home
stead OF the late Nathaniel Wells, stu
atcd on the opposite side Of the river,
in Brooke county, w. Va, was discov-
cred in flames. An alarm was sounded
in this city, and the fire department
proceeded to the river bank, but as the
ferry boat was on the opposite side Of
the river, il could not get over to rem
der any assistance, and the people on
this side were compelled TO stand and
watch the house burn. The building
was a very heavy frame, built about
forty years ago, which caused it TO
burn slowly, but it was nevertheless
almost entirely destroyed owing to the
scarcity Of water and the lack of fire
apparatus. The loss is estimated at
about $1,000, on which there is an in
Surancc of -, 500 in the New York n
