The Hall Fitzsimmons Mill Pretty Sure
to Come Off
ST.. PAUL, July 2l.-In the pugilistic
world this city is the center of attraction
tonight. There haze been rumors without
end to-day of warrants and arrests and
much excitement prevailed. The first move
this morning of the opponents of the Hall
Fltzsimmons fight was continuation of
last nights mass meeting. Over 300 men
and women called on Gov. Merriam early
with the statement that the law was about
to be violated; that they, as citizens, were
unable to prevent it, and calling on the
governor to see to the laws enforcement,
Archbishop Ireland, ex-Chief Justice Nc
MILAN, and Others spoke. Gov. Merriam
responded that consultation with legal
authority had shown that he had
no authority to interfere, but would do
what was In his power. The attorney gen.
eral informed him that he could issue
proclamation. and this the governor did
this afternoon. 1t rectes that it has been
called to his attention that prize fight is
to be fought; sets forth the law on the sub
lect, and expressly enjoins all officers
whose duty relates to the prevention of
said otfense, etc, to faithfully execute the
law and app! ehend any person engaged in
violation of the same. Sheriff Bean, this
evening, said he would consult with the
county ittloFHey, and Whatever the latter
told aim was his legal duty, that he
will do.
Warrants issued yesterday for the arrest
of puglllst Bob Fitzsimmons and his train
ers Smith ana Carroll, were served late
this afternoon. They were at once taken
before Judge Cory and Fitzeimmons gave
bond in $500 to keep the peace. Carroll
and Smith were released on bail, their case
being continued until Friday.
Jim Hall arrived to-day but has not been
arrested. Notwithstanding the organized
and strong opposition to the fight, the club
people feel certain tonight that it will
come of. The principals will undoubtedly
be arrested when they appear in the ring
but will give bonds and fight,

OVER a MILLION.
Enormous Debts of the Falls Bank OF
Louisville, Ky.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 1.-THE Falls
City bank has closed its doors, making
an assignment to the Mechanics Trust
Company. Bad debts and bad manage
ment are responsible. For over six
months the clearing house has been
tiding it over, but it was never able
to recover from the panic of last
December, when the general money
market was so tight. 1t had a capital
stock of S6Oe 600. The liabil' ties, in
Guiding the capital stock, viii reach
81, 200, 900. The depositors will proba-
bly, be paid in full, but the stockholders
will be fortunate if they get 10 per
cent.
The bank has been in lettering con-
dition for some time. II began to
topple last December. but the other
banks, fearful that its failure would
precipitate general crash, came to its
rescue First the clearing house loaned
it $50, 900, then n month later $50, 900
more. 1t has thus been kept up until
the danger of general panic was avert
ed. The other banks, however, have
since obtained a firm footing and re-
Gently concluded to withdraw the
props from the Falls City bank. This
was done W it'll the above result.
In 1869 this bank was the victim of
one of the most sensational robberes in
criminal history The robbers engaged
a room overhead and bored through the
walls into the vault, securing $500, 900
in money and collaterals.

been lost and many people seriously
injured. Aspen Junction was the
scene of the disaster. A collision oc-
Cured between Midland locomotive
and the coaches of the Saturday
Laundry or excursion train
running between Aspen and
Glenwood Springs. The coach-load of
people returning in happy spirits from
the springs, where a few pleasant
hours had been spent in the swimming
pool, were suddenly plunged in the hor-
rors of a frightful railroad accident
which resulted in the killing of seven
people and severely scalding and burn
ing six others. OF the twenty-five pas
sengers three colored men, who were
in the forward compartment, were
the only ones not injured. A
2-year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank f. Ellis, of Aspen, was killed
intantly. Miss Annie Phelan. of Car
diff, died soon after she was taken ont.
The other dead are Mrs. Frank Z. Ellis,
Mrs. J. c. c. Baldwin. Mrs. w. L. Will
loughby and Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Rogers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Leonard, Mr.
\ Frank Ellis, Thomas 0'Donnen. Miss

of Aspen, were scalded and burned.

orders to pull out for Aspen, and

time Engineer Shepherd had received
orders 10 take his engine and pull west
with a freight train standing in the
yard and had gone to the round

engine and passenger train backing
down and signaled to stop. Shepherd

train. turned on the hot air and stopped
the train. The swItchman then sig
nailed to Shepherd to back down,
with which he at once com
piled. The engineer of the pas
/ senger understood the signal TO be
| for him and accordingly began backing
down. brakeman Ryan having released
the air because he also understood the
signal to be for his train Both the
freight engine and the passenger en-
| CINE must have started rather vigorous
! ly as the crash came before the frantic
signals of the switchman to stop could
be seen and understood. The passen-
| ger engineer says he could not
see the freight engine backing out of
the round-house, as the coal-chute and
other buildings INSTRUCTED his view.
The engineer on the freight engine was
likewise, he claims, in ignorance of the
fact that the passenger was backing
down. The trainmen unite in saying
that the accident was the result of a
misunderstanding of the signals given
by the switchman.

grocer expresses his surprise that cof-
fee, which is now very dear, can be of
fered at the price asked. he is informed
that it is of artificial origin,
but can not be detected il
mixed with certain proportion of
genuine berries. Some details are,
however, furnished by an official in

The false berry is not SO smooth as the

deep. II is much harder. too. than the

Soap of very good quality is now
reported being manufactured from corn.
Experiments have shown that bushel
of corn will make two hundred pounds
of soap. There is probably no cereal
which can be put to more general use
than this one. II is a favorite table
dish. corn starch being one of its valua-
BILE productions, and il is often used in
making whisky. Heretofore il may be
said to have been used indirectly in the
manufacture of soap, being principal
agent in forming the fat on ham and
bacon. but never until lately was il
known that corn in its natural state
possessed some of the most important
requisites for soap making. Now that
this new use has been discovered, the
corn fields need not necessarily be more
numerous, in order to satisfy the in
creased demand for the cereal, but the
cultivation Of this grain will certainly
be none the less profitable in conse-
quence. National Grocer.

NEW YORK, July Is. ~ A yachting
party composed of a number of New
Workers left Thirty sixth street, Brook
lyn, at o'clock a. m. Sunday. They
were ON board the steam launch Ag-
mes Dean. Before they got through
with the day they had some exciting
adventures. 1t was along about 2
o'clock in the afternoon when one of
the party saw a man clinging to a
buoy bobbing up and down in the
water off towards Coney Island. The
buoy is a great distance from Coney
Island. They lowered a small boat and
with great difficulty they contrived to
get the man from his dangerous rest
ing place. The rescued man said
that he was Capt White, of
East Rockaway. He had been on the
Ethel, naphtha launch. This launch,
he said, had been chartered by a Mr..
Dennis, a wealthy retired diamond
merchant of Brooklyn. A party of
eight had started on board early in the
morning from Rockaway for a day
fishing. The Ethel had cruised about
until it reached point some way out
from the shore of Long Beach. Then
White said terrible explosion occurred.
1t seemed as if all the bottom of the
boat was suddenly lifted up and blown
into the air. Every per on on board
was hurled into the wa er. He sank
with the rest. When he came to the
surface he saw nothing but wreckase.
There was not a body in sight. He
