SKAGGS DISCHARGED.
His Accounts Show a Deficit of
About $500.
TELL-TaLE &C. 0. o." WRAPPERS.
nc Is Possible the Discrepancy Was
Caused by earelessaess ON the Fart
OF the Missing Express Agent.

number Of small discrepancies have
been discovered in the accounts Of Thomas
ck2ggs, the missing Northern Pacitc ex.
press agent The checking mp OF his books
Is about completed and the deficit will not
exceed 500. While this discovery does
not prove Skaggs iesaulter il shows de-
gree of earelesSness on his part that is al
most criminal.
The money not accounted for BY Skaggs
Is made UP entirely OF deposits and G. O.
u. collections. A deposit consists Of the
payment By the consignee OF goods sent

value OF 6 given sum as . guarantee e. the
company. The expression &C q. IT, col-
lecsiOns" Is understood. This money is
paid 70 the sgent and he, himself, makes
the entries on the books and is supposed
TO deposit money in the Office safe. Dur
ing the week prior TO his going away
Skaggs received several deposits
and collections. Entries were
made in one or two instances but no
cash was deposited and IN some instances
the transactions were discovered by the
money wrappers found in Skaggs' own
desk. IL was not imperative that each
transaction should be entered upon the
books immediately and the eloseness Of the
dates upon which the money was received

care4essness only.
What the feelings OF the officials of the
company are toward Skasgs since these
discoveries are unknown. but an order dis
charging him from the employ OF the coui-
pany was issued from the Portland Office

STUDENTS IN A LIVELY ROW.
The COlors of Cambridge and Oxford
Arrayed Against the Police.

The west end OF London is in an uproar.
There are always rows on boat-race night. and
last night was no exception to the rule. At the
Empire and Alhambra, the great music halls in
Leicester square. extra precautions were taken
in anticipation of the visit of the students from
both universities. At the Empire about 10
O'Clock rush of the students, most of them
being intoxicated, took place. They soon
ranged themselves into two sides, Oxford
against Cambridge, and then a free fight en-
sued and wild scenes were enacted. Glasses
from the bars were SHE'D all over the place.
Sticks were broken over heads and there was
a general melee. The police were called in
and the students Joined together and charged
the common foe.
Sixty persons are reported to be seriously in
Jured and two policemen, it is feared, are
fatally hurt The inspector of police was called
In to assist. He locked the front gates and de-
termlned to take all the rioters into CUSTODY
Women in the audience tainted and many were
hurt and carried onto the stage. The perform
ance was stopped. the curtain lowered and
finally the police overcame the students many
OF whom were arrested. Among the injured
1t Is SAID, were the son of a prominent lawyer
both of whose legs are broken, and the young
earl of Dudley, whose arm was broken in the
scrimmage.
The Americans in London won heavily on
the result of the boat race.

PELTED WITH DECAYED EGGS.
"A Young Woman of Long Branch the
Victim of an Assault.

Miss Lizzie Vannote, the twenty-yea--ol
daughter of c. ]. Vannote, is said to be one of
the bellies of North Long Branch. Some en-
vious people have declared she too highly esti-
mates her own attractions and hence she is dis
liked by them.
Tuesday night while near her home she was
saluted with fuSilade of eggs that had outlived
their usefulness. The missiles came from the
hands of young miscreants concealed behind
fences and trees. With cries of alarm and
with her dress dripping with ma!odorous
liquid she ran screaming to her home.
A sharp search was instituted for Miss VAN
notes assailants. the names of many of whom
have been learned. The lady's pet poodle
being agile escaped being hit. The affair
created much excitement III the streets as it
occurred at an early evening hour, when the
assallants were seen, but many escaped I'M
recognized. The affair was made more inter-
estlng when yesterday afternoon Constable
Woolley arrived with warrants and arrested
VIM. White, Sol White, his half brother John
Hennessey and George Robbins, IT, the latter
two having parents of good repute.
They were arraigned before q magistrate, to
whom they denied having thrown the ancient
eggs at Miss Vannote, but said they were
thrown at her pet dog. The magistrate smiled
grlmly and released the accused, who are
youths, for an examination today. All Ocean
county is interested III the episode many sym-
pathlzing with Miss Vannote.

SULLIVAN AFTER JACKSON.
The Champion Ready to Make Match
With the Coiored Australian.

John l.. Sullivan is now ready to make a
match TO fight the Australian colored cham
pion, Peter Jackson. and he is willing to listen
TO any proposition which comes from the Cali
fornia Athletic club.
IL am free to talk about fight with Jackson
now" said Sullivan, 'as consider my little
affair with the Mississippi authorities practi-
cally settled. have made up my mind to en-
gage In but one more fight, and Peter Jackson
will be my opponent if the California club
VIII put up enough money. When said some
time ago that would not fight Jackson for less
than S25,OOO purse L added that if he was
content to fight winner take all 1 would be
satisfied with Il $4,000 purse, and l will not
night for less than that sum. i will not meet
Jackson for less than $1,000 a side and if he
desires 1t will make the stake $4,000 a side
for know can get backing to that amount. +"
In answer to question sullivan said he
woGld never fight under London rules again.
I've had enough of London rules in this coun-
try, said the champion, land I'm satisfied
that it isn't profitable to break laws 1t seems
almost incredible, but actually lost money by
the Richburg fight, besides the unpleasant
thoughts about the possibility of spending n

Would you fight Slavin in California;" was
asked
IF Jackson won't fight I'd just as soon meet
SlaVin, but have made up my mind to quit
after one more fight, and l am inclined to
believe that the club will arrange for Jackson

Cheap and Small Meals for Newsboys
and Bootblacks.

SHOW much You charge fer pigs foot and
rolf" The speaker was one of the bootblacks
who ply their trade around the Pennsylvania
railroad depot and his question was directed to
one Of the travelling victualers, who, burdened
with baskets stored with edbies and steaming
pots OF coffee, challenge the appettes of the
newsboys and bootblacks about the city.
"You knows well enough dat two cents takes
dat lot, said the travelling hotel pr oprietor, as
he held up temptingly a roll cut in two with a
piece OK pigs foot in it. The two cents were
paid over and the bootblack departed his face
beaming with smiles.
"How is business?" asked reporter address
ing the dispenser of victuals
My business is always good. Dat is to say
manages to sell out a basket load every day,
put de profits is small kase de bootblacks and
de newsboys amt got any too much money to
spare and dey wants a whole meal fer 3 cents.
Den agin dey don't eat but once day, and den

continued the travelling pTveyor. dat is as
far as hot meals is concerned. You see de pork
steak and pigs feet and the Cuttings and de
hot coffee will soon be gwine away fer to make
room fer Lemonade and doughnuts."

the old man as he handed out a dish of pigs

Tldual and received in return cents "how

Are your customers confined to the boot
blacks and newsboys?" asked the reporter.
"No, indeed, honey" was the reply. Oars
many poor people deals wild me- but dey come
early IN the morning and grabs pigs foot and
piece OF bread and goes away and eats it,
The conversation was here interrupted by
the approach of bootblack who called to get
cents worth of pork and beans and the re-
porter moved on.
