IMPLICATED BANKERS.
An Echo OF the Famous Defaica-
ton OF Ex-TreasureP Axworth,
OF Cleveland.
MANY Cleveland Bankers May Be
Shown to Be Implicated With
AXworth.

BosToN. Dec. 16.-SeveraI big lawyers
of Cleveland, O., are here, and If what
one of them says tonight is borne out by
results a number of bankers i'll that
city may well quake III their
slices. In the fall Of 1883,
Treasurer Axworth, of Cleveland,
cleared out with about 100000 of the
city's money. Since then the amount
has been reduced to something like
$500. 600, he or his friends having
restored the remainder. An action
was recently brought by bondholders
against the city, and Assistant Treas
urer Watkins is here for the purpose of
giving his deposition. which will be
heard tomorrow, and the lawyers repre-
seut different interests concerned. Ak
worth is now in London, Ont, where he
has been Joined by his wife, previous to
which she made over all her property to
the city.
1t is understood that Watkins may, in
his deposition. state that many of Cleve-
lands bankers are implicated with AK
worth, as their names appear on the
backs of the county warrants, and they
had full knowledge that the money was
being turned into private channels.
When AXW0rtn cleared out aclloliS WeIe
brought by the city attorney against the
bondsmeE of the defaulter. The board
of education sued the city, wanting part
of the money in the bank.
After AXworth's wife had handed
over the property in her name 1t was
agreed that il sufficient was not realized
to meet the shortage, the bondsmen
would step i'll and give him ten
years in which to repay. W. l.. Rice
represents the fugitive. About $50, 00O.-
900 OF Cleveland money was represented
in the room at Young's hotel today. Mr.
Watkins appeared before the counsel OF
the several sets of bondSmep, to whom the
city look for reimbursement, and was
examined at length by City Solicitor
General L. d. S. Meyer. MIR. Watkins,
who now resides at Pueblo, Col, hap
pens to be visiting at this time with
his wife'S people in Medtord.
He has consented to tell what
he knew about the case, and his
deposition will play all important part
in the equity cases now pending IN
Cleveland. Gen. Meyer, with his cart
load of city documents and bundles OF
papers, was eloseted all day Thursday
with Mr.. Watkins. The result was said
to be very satisfactory to the city's SIDE

LONG DRAWN BATTLE.
Moth and King Wpestle for
Three Hours Of Hard
Scuffling.
The Match a Draw With One
Fall to Moths
Credit.
The Annual Bonspiel to De-
cur During the Week Be-
ginning Jan. II.
Clubs to Be Present From Sew
epal Northwestern States
and Manitoba.

Moth and King met on the carpet last
night at atch-as-caIch-can, and it IS
still an open question which is the bet
ter man at that particular style, as the
contest resulted in a draw after nearly
three hours of wrestling, although
Moth had one COLE 10 his credit.
John Barnes, of the Phoenix Ath-
letic club, was a very satisfactory
referee, and as the men entered the pit
they looked in the pink Of condition.
King had twenty pounds the best Of the
weight, and as Moths clevernesS was
counted on to offset this, the two men
had about the same following. They
began work shortly after 10 O'Clock and,
in spite Of the urgent requests OF the
audience, wrestled slowly and eau
tiOusly, each one waiting for an
opening. 1t was a pretty struggle,
and when Moth got away from
4 full Nelson his admirers broke out in
deafening cheers. A moment later King
did the same act. and from that time it
was a magnificent battle for supremacy.
The men tugged and strained, their
muscles standing out on their
broad backs like whip-cords. Down
and down they went, and the
partisans shouted for decision
but Mr.. Barnes said no, and it went.
Endurance became a factor, and Moths
friends thought he had a shade the best
of it. After struggling about an hour
and half Moth got neck lock on his
gritty antagonist and, after a brief
tusSle, put both shoulders down, and
was given the first fall.
The men were rubbed down, and after
short rQSnItn wont at 1T aUaID l.
though both looked game, they seemed
unwilling to get down to business. Sew
eral clever throws were made on both
sides, but did not result in downs for
either man. Kings friends insisted he
was doing all the work, while
the men who backed Moth vowed
that King wasn't ''out to wrestle,"
so il went for half-hOur
more. Moth was OH the mat, face down.
and King tenderly embraced him with a
body lock, and after several attempts to
turn doth over he got into comfort
able position and remained quiet. The
match would never come to a conclusion
with this going on, and as it was late
the referee called it draw much to the
dissatisfaction Of the audience, who
seemed willing to stay and see it out.
All through the match King showed
himself powerful as an OK, but lacked
Moths skill and fnesse. Just before
the match was called Moth put the
strangIe hold on King with all the fin
ishings. Both men seemed somewhat
disappointed with the issue Of the con-
test, and King agreed TO wager 5000 that
he could throw Moth five times within
an hour, Cornish style, and it is possible
such match may be arranged.

Ex-Secretary Fairchild Addresses
Tariff Reform League.
BosroN, Dee. 16.-The Tariff Reform
league met at the American house this
evening. Among the speakers were
Hon. Harvey M. Shepherd, Josiah
Quincy, William Brice and ex-Secretary
Fairchild. Soon after the president
called the meeting to order he intro
duccd as the first speaker of the eyen-
ing Mr.. Fairchild, who said he had as
secretary of the treasury won the con-
hdence of the business community and
would speak as business man. Mr..
Faircbild was heartily received, and
said in part:
~ hose in favor of tariff reform have
still duty to perform. Oar business
friends ask for stabilitysin business. But
they have built up an artificial system
whereby the business of the country is
held up above its natural conditions.
Instead of seeking to do the
ance of their system, they have
sought to divert the minds of the people
in every possible way from the consid-
Grafton of the true subject. They have
formed habit of contributing vast
sums of money to buy elections. But
within these last few years business
men have contributed of the gains
which come to them, as sup
posed. through government, Tor the
hardly concealed purpose of buying
elections, contributing of their sub
stance to undermine the foundations of
society. We have before us very
grave question, which involves protec-
tionism and paternalism, and that is our
currency system. If the people of this
country can be successfully educated as
to the limitations OF the power of gov
eminent over value i'll money great
point is gained"
The speaker described an interview
with President Cleveland after his
message of 1887, in which Mr.. Fairchild
had propheSied ultimate success as the
result, and closed with an eloquent
tribute to Mr.. Cleveland which was
loudly applauded.
