WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The war depart

United States soldier who was tried by
the Mexican military authorities for as
saulting a Mexican soldier on Mexican

THE NY xR-cARRoLL FIGHT.
Myer Knccks Out His Man in the Forty.
Third Round.


NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 23-The Olympic
dub was crowded with sports from all
parts of the country last night to see the
fight between Myer, the "Streator Cy
Clone" and Carroll. The fight was well
contested in the main, Myer winning in
the forty-third round by a knockout blow.
For the first few rounds both men were
cautious, each apparently trying to dis
cover the others tactics Myer did most
of the leading, and, in fact, almost killed
his chances by rushing himself out of
breath. Carroll exhibited clever dodging
tactics, but was unable to escape Myers
left in the fourteenth, and was knocked to
his knees.
Twenty Rounds with Honors Even.
Neither man had much advantage up to
the twenty-tirst round, though both had
taken considerable punishment. Myers
youth and fine condition began to tell in
his favor, and in spite of the fact that he
had been doing most of the leading he
showed up the fresher of the pair. After
this Myer had it mostly his own way, and
did most of the work He knocked Carroll
down frequently. In the forty-third the
little cyclone found the opening he had
been looking for, and with a swinging
right handler landed squarely on Carroll's
jaw. Jimmy went down like log and re-
mained unconscious for several minutes in
spite of the efforts of his seconds to revive

Uncle SANS Cavalry.
WASHINGTON, Dec. GA telegram was
received at the state department yesterday
from tie United states consul general at
Laredo, Mexico, stating that Captain
Hardee, of the Third cavalry. together
with the United States marshal We're sur
rounded near Fort Macintosh, Mexico,
by the insurgent leader, Colonel Cara,
and his band of MeXicans, General Stan
ley telegraphs Major General Schofield
that he had heard the report of Captain
Hartiee and the Third Cavalry being sur
rounded by GarZa's band and had sent a
troop of cavalry to ascertain the truth Of
the report.
Seem To Have Found Him at Last.
At the war department the report is dis
credited. CARA is at the head of a band
of Mexicans which for several months has
infested the Mexican border. Cara pre-
tends that he is at the head of an insurrec-
tionary movement to overthrow the Mexi-
can government, but so far has confined
himself TO pillaging the inhabitants on
both sides of the Rio Grande and stealing
cattle. United States troops have been
looking for CARA for months, but his fol.
lowing is so small that he has easily
escaped detection by hiding in canons.

this society The greatest posi-
bic interest is manifested at-the
weekly meetings and the amount
of good done can scarcely be es-
timated. Miss Mary Harrison,
the President, devotes her life to
home mission work. Her keen
intellect grasps a situation with
unerring accuracy. Her trench
ant wit asserts itself without pre-
tension, and infuses spice into the
dryest details Of parliamentary
business. Her faith would in
spire a skeptic, and her zeal is
unquenchable. She is ably sup
ported by some thirty members
who represent the salt Of
the earth among woman
kind. There is no time nor dis
position for gossip or idle talk,
yet the ease of friendly com
mingling robs these sittings Of
stiffness. The cost Of member
ship is rs ceuts a year, with a fine
OF five cents for absence. The
meetings are opened with prayer.
Reports from secretary, treasurer,
coal committee, cutting commit

in succession, each topic admit

The branches Of work are SO sys-
tematized that it has been easy

President Of the Society. She
opens the meeting with prayer,
and a chapter from the Bible is
read around the circle, one verse
each. Passages are discussed and
proved, not by the aid of COM

ences, making Scripture prove
Scripture. The fees are five cents
a week, and ten cents at stated
intervals to the Central Ten

age attendance this winter has
been about thirty (3O) members
at each meeting, thirty hearts
beating with love and sympathy
for the poor, sick and unfortu-
nate, and twice as many hands
ready to administer to the help
less. Without a jar or discord,
like we'll harmonized music, this
band work together week after
week and month after month.
We find much to encourage us,
although our work seems to null
tiply before us; and although we
do accomplish much, there are
many things we would like to do
that are yet beyond our reach.
We have a coal bureau which,
after careful investigation, gives
coal to the poor; and all employ
ment bureau which gives sewing
to poor sewing women in the
hope of relieving their pecuniary
wants without the humiliation OF
We also have a large
trunk where it is the duty of each
member to place at least two gar
ments, or as many as may be
spared from her household, to be
used in our home missionary
work in the visiting among the
unfortunate; and it goes out of
that trunk about as fast as it goes
in; sometimes it goes out before
it gets in at all, and there are no
calls unheeded. So, dear Record,
if your friends have dresses,
cloaks, underwear, hose, shoes,
bonnets, hats, or gloves for.
women, girls or boys that are fill
ing up presses er chests and not
of further use to them, please tell
them where they can send them
to do good.
With all this home work we
did not let pass by UNDECIDED a
call from the church at Middles-
borough, but sent fifty dollars as
our mite. We are not weary
toilers in the vineyard, but a
happy, hopeful band who truly
enjoy the weekly meetings and
the duties they entail.

garments is clear gain.
COAL REPORT.
Miss Lizzie Bean, the Secretary
of the coal fund, reports 800
bushels distributed among sixty
five families from the 18th of o.
tober to the 22d of January. The
Guild purchases one thousand
bushels of coal every winter and
Mr.. HI. K. Wilward has it deliv-
cred to the person presenting an
official ticket for a given number
of bushels. In order to relieve
the Guild of the burden of SO
many families, two delegates from
each church in the city have been
invited to meet with the Guild
and confer as to the applicants
for relief. If each church could
have the care of its own poor by
a system of just allotment, the
labor and expense would be
lighter for all. The poor who be-
long to no church by membership
or association do not come under
this head. AS it is. it is hardly
creditable that sixty-Gve poor
families are entitled to aid from
Christ Church, when other de-
nominations state that they have
no poor. The fault lies some
where, though certainly not with
any religious community in our
city, for all are equally charitable
at heart.
HELPING THE POOR.
Nothing is more difficult than
the question Of how to help those
who will not help themselves.
Poor Joseph Ii. Of Austria, died
a martyr to the solution. All
high-fown IDEAS Of philanthropy
must fall before the homely real
tiles of the case as it is. Stolid
in their misery, and utterly cal
1ous to pride or ambition, how
shall you influence those who sit
