 -FItzsimmons Will Not Leave
 Ills Training Quarters Until This After
 noon-A Big Crowd Win Witness the
 Fight-McAulIrs and AIyer Matched.
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14.-The State authorities have reluctantly arrived at the conclusion that they have no war rant for interfering with the Dempsey Fitzsimmons fight tonight.
 After his conference with Governor Nichols, Attorney-General Rogers went through the statutes, and finally rem dered an opinion that under the most re- cent law the Olympic Club people had a clear right to go ahead.
 Dempsey Anxious to See FitzsImmons.
 Dempsey will see his opponent for the first time when he enters the ring. He has been very anxious to size him up and take a mental photograph of his movement and shape, but the Austra- lian is willy, and does not propose to give the Nonpareil any points in ad- vance. Fitzsimmons will remain at Bay St. Louis until this afternoon, reaching here barely in time to put on his pumps and go to the Amphitheatre.
 A Denver man,. who stopped over at his training quarters last night, says that Fitzsimmons is in as fine form as he has ever been in all his life, and that there need be no mistake about his condition; he is awkwardly built, and the muscles and flesh of his body is queerly dis tributed, but he is trained down to fine edge and will make fine showing in the ring. His legs look larger than they did some months ago, and while he is knock kneed and slender below, he is great above the hips. The muscles of his back stand out prominently and his arms are large and muscular and we'll curved. He is in condition to take tremendous amount of punishment and yet come up smiling.
 A Financial Success.
 Financially, the affair is already a suc- cess; all the fifty boxes have been sold at a hundred dollars each, and of the four thousand seats, two-thirds have been taken or bespoken.
 A theory endorsement of Dempsey by Sullivan telegraphed here has sent up the Nonpariel's stock, and the betting is active at 100 to 80 in his favor. The amounts, however, are not phenomenally large.
 The arrivals last night were numerous and include Lemuel McGregor, the St. Joe Kid; Kilrain, Muldoon, Mike Leary, Geo. Slosson, Billy Edwards and Steve Brodie.
 Everything points to the selection of Alexander Brewster, of this city, who acted at the Sullivan-Ryan fight, as referee He is acceptable to Dempsey, and it is said that he will suit Fitzsim- mons and Carroll

Discovered in the Top of a Tree Prepar-
 ing to Commit Suicide.
 CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 14.-Maggie Robeson, aged 19 years, a servant em- ployed in the Dean House, has given birth to a quartet of boys. They are all healthy and we'll developed. The girl is a daughter of George Robeson, a coal miner, who works at Broadford for Prick 6 Go.
 When Robeson heard of the affair, he attempted suicide. William Gray, a neighbor, discovered him in the top of q tree, with a drawn razor, about to cut his throat, but Gray succeeded in dis suading him from taking his life. Robe- son drove his daughter from home, and threatened her life if she ever returned. The young mother and her babes are now at Dunbar, where they are being cared for. Miss Robeson has sworn out a warrant before Squire Cotton, of Dun bar, for the arrest of James Kane, whom she charges with the paternity of her children. Kane is an iron worker, and is thought to be in Pittsburg

THReE CRAZY CHILDREN.

Scared by a Wildcat Boy and His Sisters
 Become Insane.
 MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Jan. 14.-Michael, Gertrude and Margaret Bailey, aged l2 10 and $ years respectively, children of one family, who have been stricken vio- lently insane, exhibit an extraordinary phase of mental disorder. These three children have just been brought to the State Homeopathic Hospital for the In- sane in this city for treatment.
 They are the children of Michael O. Bailey. respectable farmer living near Parkville, on the Ontario & Western Railroad. So far as is known, the parents have no predisposition to mental mala- dies.
 Little Mitchell chanced to pass through Q piece of woods near his home a few days ago, and suddenly he came face to face with wildcat. The animal did not attack the boy, but bristled up threaten ingly and growled savagely. The lad turned and fled homeward in an ecstacy of terror, and Gwhen he had reached the house he fell upon the floor in strong convulsions. One paroxysm succeeded another in quick succession, with semi lucid intervals, haunted by wild and agonizing fears of an attack by the wild cat.
 The boys little sisters, who had wit messed his paroxysms, were sympatheti. cally affected, and went off into convul. sions of terror, marked by symptoms exactly like his. The wild, uncontrol- able delirium of the sufferers made a pitt full spectacle.

ARRESTS FOR CONSPIRACY.

Eleven Men in Custody for Threatening a
 COlored Postmaster.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-About two weeks ago the Postofice Department es- tablished a postoffice at Catherine, Ala, and appointed a colored man postmas- ter. Subsequently a certain element of the town, who were hostile to the post master, served notice on him to leave the office.
 The postmaster refused to comply with their demands, and an organized conspiracy was effected, which threaten ed to kill him if he did not leave town. The conspirators were earnest in their purpose to carry the threat into execu- tion, and the postmaster and his as- sistant barely escaped with their lives.
 The Chief Postoffice Inspector sent two inspectors to Catherine to investi- gate the matter, and the result was the arrest last night of il conspirators, who are charged under the statute with in- terfering with a government officer in the performance of his duty.
 Postmaster-General Wanamaker has issued an order abolishing the office.

THE INDIAN SITUATION.
1t Is Believed That Gen. Mites Win Dis-
 arm the Hostiies

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan, 15.- While the iron h&sfd of the army has ap- parently got the Sioux rebellion by the throat, there is no telling at what in stant the savage, grown desperate by hunger and fright, will make one more struggle to avenge his wrongs.
 The hostiles are still in camp in the ravine to the northwest. Their messages to Gen. Miles are of pacific nature, but in their peace councils the young men, who are the actual warriors, hold aloft. This element numbering between 800 and 600, it would seem, needs to be crushed if the war is to come to speedy end They are turbulent, insolent and belli- gerent.
 It seems to be the plan of the military to remain inactive for a day or two, in the hope that the youngsters will become satisfied that they are not to be punished for the crimes they have com Tnitted, and that they will listen to the counsels of such chiefs as Young Man Afraid-of- His-Horse.
 General Miles held no council with the chiefs of the hostiles to-day. It is doubt ful if he will consent to any more DOW wowing. He has promised the savages plenty to eat and the immediate ob- servance of existing treaties, but as a conquerer he has warned them that they must submit to whatever terms he may dictate.
 It is believed that General Miles con templates the gradual disarming of the hostiles, but it is the universal opinion of those who have been among the hos tiles that they will not submit to such . cautious move on the part of the mili- tary.
 Between 400 and 800 Indians broke away from the hostiles during the morn ing, and have started for the Bad Lands via Wounded Knee. They are crazy and frantic, committing depredations wher- ever they go. General Carr, with the Sixth Cavalry and one company of in fantry, and Col. Wheaton, with four companies of infantry, are after them.

EN0LISHMEN PLEASED.
The Now Move in the BshrinG Sea Cues.
 tion Hailed With Delight.


 tion Hailed With Delight.
 LONDON, Jan. 14.-The submission of the vital point at issue in the Behring Sea question to the United States Supreme court is hailed here with gen eral satisfaction, as an orderly and con- elusive method of defining the limits of the controversy and obtaining an irre- fragable decision on its merits.
 The assertion in some quarters that the step was a reflection upon the Ameri- can State Department, or an affront to Mir. Blaine personally, is positively de- nied by those in a position to know the facts.
 It is explained that the action, though brought in the name of public officials, should really be regarded in the light of q private suit. The prime mover is the owner of the property in litigation, and he is entitled to all the legal remedies obtainable, and to the aid of his govern ment in carrying those proceedings to their highest phase. The importance of the proceedings from the standpoint of diplomacy is a purely accidental, though fortunate, aspect of the situation.

senator Stuhr UnseRted and Congress-
 man-El0ct Mcdonald Replaced Him.
 TRENTON N. J., Jan. 14-The Legis- lature was organized by the election of the following officers in the Senate: President, Robert Adrian, of Middlesex; Secretary, John Carpenter, Of Hunter don; Assistant Secretary, Samuel c. Thompson, of Warren; Engrossing Clerk, John J. Matthews, of Union; Ser geant-at-Arms, George K. Coleman, of Essex.
 Mir. Bergen won the Speakership in the House, after a hard fight, on the sixth ballot. The other principal House officers were allotted as follows: Clerk, Thomas J. Noonan, of Hudson; Journal Clerk, W. S. Naughright, of Morris; Engrossing Clerk, John H. Demott, of Hunterdon; Sergeant at-Arms, William Harrigan, of Essex.
 Mir. Mcdonald was restored to his seat in the Senate by vote of 18 to 2, all the Democrats voting for the resolution, and all the Republicans against it.
 Senator Stuhr made strong protest against being unseated.
 Governor Abbett in his annual message said that while the financial condition of the State is not embarrassing, it will not permit new appropriations except in ab- solutely necessary cases. Its condition will also prevent the immediate payment of many appropriations heretofore made by the Legislature. Unless the State secures additional sources of revenue or increase the amount to be obtained from the present sources it will be several years before 1t will be fully able to meet outstanding appropriations.
 With regard to ballot reform, he says: "I recommend in my inaugural message the passage of Ballot Reform law. The Legislature passed the act May 2S, 1890. The operation of this law has secured practical ballot reform and honest cleo tions in this State. The law is the simplest and most efficient act adopted in any of the States of the Union."

The Revolution in Chilli.

LONDON, Jan. Notwithstanding tho denial of the Chilian Minister, who says in one breath that there is no revolution, and in the next that the army stands by the government, and most of the navy does likewise, private advices leave no doubt of 8 desperate outbreak in Chilli.
 The President is unquestionably in 6 position of serious peril. The people are mostly in sympathy with the insurgents, but the government has of late been securing the fidelity of the army by put ting it's own adherents into every i'm. portant command. The majority of Congress is said also to be in sympathy

Mayor DaIdWIn's Message Reviewed,

Since the grand opening of the ware rooms of the Waterbury Furniture com pany last April, nothing has attracted so much attention as the Mayors Message which was given to the public last week. It shows in the highest degree, thorough knowledge of the affairs of the city; and e sincere desire to put his knowledge into practice. He has earned his $3 day and ought to have raise:
 SEATS ON THE GREEN.
 There are few points however which weswish to submit to his Royal Highness; we are glad to learn that he has discovered that the Common Council has a conscience "What answer" said his honor in voice of thunder, twill you make your consci- ence if these maps should burn next yearF' We did not think they had much con- science when they asked us to furish seats on the green for less than they could be manufactured
 THE STREET. DEPARTMENT.
 His Honor claims that "the demand for good highways is universal" Yes, our wagons can barely turn around in some of them. If we have Quaker Ranges heavy Chamber Suit or a l. Iunge to deliver, and meet a coal cart on the way the street be- comes blocked. Hereafter if our goods are scratched in delivery we shall send our customersto the Mayor and Common Coun- oil with their complaints.
 MEDDLEsoME LAWYERS.
 Our customers always pay their bills so we have no use for the limbs of the law.
 THE ROAD BOARD.
 We think the Mayor made mistake in not recommending iAe paving of Meadow street, from the N. Y. X N. E. station to Bank street, as all our freighting is done there, and the mud is foot deep. "lt is hard to mix with mud and not get dirty"
 THE UNION DEPOT.
 In recommending the Union station he omitted one great argument in its favor. Hundreds of drummers visit Waterbury monthly. They take an order for car load of Chamber Sets or Stoves or Parlor Suits, and all at once iud that some of our stations are mile apart. This gives the drummer q bad impression of our city, and what he says goes. The drummer is next to the newspaper for spreading the news. Exit drummer.
 A GREAT IMPROVEMENT ovERLooKED.
 In his message His Honor forgot to state that We are turning our whole base ment into mammoth workshop, from South Main street clear to Grand street, and our former worshops will be turned into salesrooms. We shall open huge win dows from the sidewalk to the bottom of the basement and make it as light as day.
 CAUSE FOR CONTEMPLATION.
 We have been travelling through the states for few days, and find that all the big concerns are expecting to see the most prosperous year that this country ever saw. This opinion is based on sslid facts. We are getting at our inventory and expect to be done by February l. We ewould pre- fer to turn our stock into cash for any reasonable price. Now is your opportunity to buy good goods cheap.
