Several Of the Democratic councilmen

day trying to palliate their offense against

of the Broad Ripple company and promised
that if the company would consent to the
insertion of the purchasing clause the or
dinance would be passed without
any trouble. Mr.. Augustus Mason
told them that President Belknap
would not accept franchise with
such clause in it, because
the matter had been discussed while he
was here. and that 1t was too late to try to
do anything now. Many of these small

with residences In addition Columbia Col
leGe and st. Luke's hospital have lately re-
solved to move to this neighborhocd
The scope of the cathedral, as enunciated
by Bishop Potter in RECOMMENDING the

church for the people-all the people-and
his aim has been kept constantly in view in
six years of revivified work, which culmi-
mated to-day in the laying of the corner
stone, the fret step in the work of actual
construction. IL is to be noted in this con-
nection that the design for the cathedral in
cludes seven ''ohapels of tongues" in each
OF which there will be service at least
every Sunday in different languages.

The Management Became DISCUS ed

posit of a $4,000 Forfeit-Burge
Refused to Agree to the Demand.
NEW YoRK, Dec. 27.-Thers will be no
fight between Jack McAuliffe and Dick
Burge for the light-weight championship Of
the world, as contemplated by sporting
men. Judge Newton of the Coney Island
Athletic Club, which organization en-
deavored 70 arrange the match and offered
the extraordinary purse Of $4,000 for the
contract, is responsible for this unex-
pected turn Of affairs. The judge TO night
announced to the representatives OF both
principals that the Coney Island club would
withdraw the purse and declare the match
off. The only explanation Of Judge New
toms action is that his patience and that Of
the other officials Of the club had become
exhausted and they had determined, IL the
men did not sgree to-day, TO stop the nego-
tiations.
THE FINAL INTERVIEWS.

not in the least coincide With the views OF
the seaside people. They still stuck 20 their
arguments of the previous days that Nc
Abilities demand TO have both men deposit
forfeit of $40, 900 to guarantee their appear
ance in the ring, and to weigh in at l33
pounds the night Of the fight was absurd,
and they refused under any circumstances
to conform with those regulations. Judge
Newton then called upon MoAulitfe, and
told him that If he was anxious to
fight he would waive the $4,000
forfeit and agree to a S2,5C0 forfeit. Nc
Auliffe refused TO agree to a smaller sum
than the one first proposed. He said he
had agreed to obliterste the clause in the ar
tioles which he signed Saturday that they
should meet at 1SS pounds give or take two
pounds. and to fight at 1S3 fat, but as re-
CARDS the $40 ,000 McAuliffe insisted that
that must stand. Judge Newton then de-
clared the negotiations at an end.

ocrats met at the court house to-day. After
being called to order by f. D. Henery. a.
B. Estes was elected chairman aud E. u.
Byrd secretary.
r. G. Mitchell, Jr., was then elected tenn
porary chairman of the democratic execu-
tive committee until the committee eau
elect a permanent chairman.
The following resolutions were passed:
Res0lUed, That We the democrats OF Pierce
county in convention assembled, hereby express
our condemnation Of the course pursued by A.
" Smith. chairman of the democratic exec
utive committee of PIeTce county, IN his atti-
tnde as an independent candidate against the
RcsolUed, That we consider that he has for,
feited his claim TO the Office of chairman and
we hereby commend 70 the executive commit
tee Robert G. Mitchell. Jr., who has been Sc
lected by this convention 10 exercise the fuuc-
tons of chairman. aud we hereby appeal to the
people, IN the name OF pnre and organized
democracy, 70 give to the regular nominee OF
the party hearty aud earnest support in the ap-
preaching election.
Politics in this county have been sim
moring for some time ana just now have
reached the boiling point.
During the last campaign the democrats
gained, and after third partyism was
hurled at the polls no one thought Of any
trouble. and in order for there to be no more
chance for any dissatisfaction, the leaders
OF the party decided TO hold an election in
each precinct at which the five men re-
ceiving the largest vote were 70 be delegates
to a convention to nominate full county
ticket. This was done ana the convention
put out their ticket. After a few weeks
some parties put out A. n. Smith chairman
OF the county democratic executive COM
mittee as an independent candidate for
ordinary against w. o. Ahl nominee; J. r.
Vim. independent, for tax COL
lector against John A. Jacobs,
nominee, and W. d. Griffls, independent,
for clerk, against john A. Strickland, nom
nee. VIM and Griffis admitted themselves
in the race at once, but Smith said he
couldn't enter the race. as his position in
the party wouldn't allow 1t. However. last
week circular signed by nine gentlemen
was circulated in the county declaring the
people dissatisfied with the manner in which
the nominations were made, and placing
him sQuarely in the race. Immediately a
circular was issued, signed by forty-two
democrats, declaring that the chairman of
executive committee had etfectually placed
himself as an independent candidate against
the regular nominee of the party, and call
ing upon all democrats OF the county to
meet at the court house today for the pur-
pose of recognizing the party and electinR
a new chairman. There is a good deal of
feeling over the affair, and of the signers
of the Smith circular says he didn't realize
what he was signing. and regrets having
his name attached to it.
