TELEGRAPH

PEORIA, IL, Jan. Gone of the most, scoundrelly outrages ever perpetrated against an innocent unoffending girl came to light here today. The girl is Bertha Hamilton and the two offenders Charles McGonigle and P. R. McCready.
 All of these parties reside at Prince vile. It seems tEat Charles McGonigle had become enamored of Bertha, who is quite a handsome young girl, well developed and in every way attractive but he did not care to be honorable in the matter He and his friend, P. R. McCready, concocted a scheme for a mock marriage. McCready per, ,,.a. ,rd a Justice of the Peace and performed q ceremony which was supposed to make McGonigle and Bertha man and wife, but 80 far as the laws of the State of H. linols were concerned there was no mar riage whatever. McGoeigle and the girl lived together two days as man and wife, when some ofiIhe girls friends in- fo, med her that she had been duped and that McCready was not authorized to perform marriage ceremony. As soon as it became known to the girls friends the strong sarm of the law was invoked, and as a consequence McCon- igle and McCready are both confined in the Dounty Jail, with charge banging over them which is punishable by con- tinement in the peniteDtiary not less than Cle year or more than ten years.
 SAN FRANCISCO, January G. Captain Guss Tuthill, the New York sporting man, has left for New Orleans, where he will assist Dempsey in his training. He has money, and says he is going to back Dempsey for all he is worth, Tuthin believes Fitzsimmons will stand no show with Dempsey. At the same ,time he intends to be very careful that FItzimmons .does not gain point over Jack in training. As to the statement that Fitzsimmons will will probably go into the ring over weight Tuthill says:
 If FitZsimmons IS even half pound overweight, l shall not only insist. upon being paid the forfeit therefore, but he will have to put on his clothes and run or sweat 1t off before we enter the ring. The match was made at 150 pounds, to weight five minutes before entering the ring, and I shall insist upon the con- ditions being carried tout to the letter. We shall go the ring well+with in weight and If there is any trouble it will be caused by the other side endeavoring to evade the conditions of the match. What would be thought of two gentle men who should agree to fight a dual with rapiers, and one on arriving at the place of meeting should ask to fight with a ssber? In this match Dempsey is giving away height and reach. but he will not yield aD ounce of weight.
 Dempsey is general at his best at 147 pounds, and it is probable that he would enter the ring at that weight. If so Fitzsimmons would have ten pounds the better of him. This fact is a discourag- ing one to Dempsey's admirers. They think it is bad enongh for Fitzimmons to have height and reach on his side, but to give him the advantage of weight also makes matters worse.
 No betting has been done In this city as yet and there will not be much done. The majority Of the betting men are either going to New Orleans or will send their money thither to be placed
