party of friends at well known sporting
resort few nights ago and became involved
IN discussion as to the respective reputa-
tons OF several prominent pugilists. Nc

that he must have deserved it, as Jack had
never won battle in his life only in a fair
and square way.
When Dominick spoke about the Fitzsim-
mons fight, Tuthil said in his opinion that
Dempsey in mis- best days could not beat the
lanky Australian. After considerable talk
Mccartney said he would like to get another
chance at Dempsey, and Tuthill snapped
him up by offering to make aSmatch for the
above amount. He produced a big roll of
bills and wanted to post 81, 800 on the spot.

would fight, and Tuthill told him Dempsey
would stand by any match that he would
make. Finally, Mccartney said he would
put up his money in day or two if the
Manhattan Athletic club officials will allow
him to fight. Gus told him that ne would
get permission from the club for him to
battle if he would make the match Tuthill

find they acted too hastily, and will make
amends by introducing the same bill in the

concluded to go through the order of bust
ness. On the question of passing over the
governors veto the act for the inspection

bate arose. Representative Pyeatt accused
the governor of unofficial aims in its veto,
but said he would not expose the governor,
as the legislature was not the proper place,
but seeming to intimate that the courts
would be. The governor had explained
that he did not deem an inspector necessary
as there were no coal mines in operation in
the state and this would be about all an in
spector would be of use to the state. The
governors veto was sustained by vote OF

pie of the Wyoming valley were shocked
this morning when they read in the col
umns of the Scranton Republican that Miss
Anna Dickinson was insane and had been
taken to the Danville insane asylum by DIR.

the story was published in the Republican
the supposition was the article was founded
on fact as the bell of the Dickinson man

yers, business men and reporters hocked to
the house early, the former to console with
the family and the latter to learn The latest
particulars about the case. Miss Susan
Dickinson, Annals sister, went to the
library and dictated a note to the reporters.

ated. Her sister was not insane 1t was
true she was II and had been i'll for some
time, but she was not out OF her mind and
she wanted the reporters to make par

of doubt that Miss Dickinson is distinctly
insane. The conductor of the train that
carried her to Danville asylum was seen
tonight. His name is John Baldwin. Miss
Dickinson boarded the train at West Pitts

she boarded the train she asked Baldwin to
send dispatch for her.

A Type Founders, syndidate.

CHICAGO, Feb. pa local paper says
the large type founders of the country
after long negotiations have about effected
a consolidation of their interests. The
capital involved is reported to be Sc, 900, 600.
The establishment of uniform prices and
the protection of printers is said to be the
chief reasons for the consolidation of the
thirty odd founders. Wholesale cutting of
the price of type has been the rule of late,
and owing to this plants of printers have
been decreasing in value, enabling new
firms to put in entirely new plants at half
the cost of those laid in before the democrat
ization. Among the firms in the syndicate
are Palmer g. Rey, of San Francisco.

He thinks they would not be finished in
