be shut down temporarily. The moth

FIRE MATTERS.

Proceedings Yesterday by the Commits
sion.
The fire commissioners met YESTERDAY.
Messrs. Kuhrts and Brodrick and Mayor
Hazard being present.
The chief stated that he had taken
steps to secure an inventory of the
property OF the department; also that
the annual inspection of the department
~ould be held on the plaza January I'd,
at M, to which both the old and
new city council have been invited.
Mr.. Klhrts said he had investigated
Fireman Barry's case, and was con-
vinced that under all the cir
cumstances the commission should act
lenieutiy in the matter. He knew Barry
to be first class fireman. The chief
said Barry was good fireman when
sober, and perfectly fearless; that while
other drivers might consider it nom
professional to get down off the machine
and help put fire out, he was always
ready to Jump in and put the fire out
with bis feet If necessary. Mr. Kuhrts
also said that Barry had shown An alibi
go far as to being where the false alarm
OF fire was turned in recently. 1t was
voted to reinatate Barry January 1, with
the proviso that If he breaks the rule
again he will be dismissed.

Tho Heart OF Enrland.

In the midst Of the old city Of London,
where the heart Of human life beats
fastest, stands the church Of St. Switl-
ms, an old edifice rebuilt by Wren upon
it's ancient foundations, but recently re-
duced by modern taste to a most com
monplace air of comfort and newness.
If the curious traveller will step out OF
the passing throng and edge his way
through the hucksters of flowers and
stale fruit sqlatted around the church,
he will 1nd inlbedded in the blush slabs
of it's foundation large oblong stone as
gray as the beard Of Time himself.
This is London stone. erected by the
Romans half q century before the birth
of the Saviour as the central milestone
or point of their positions in Britain.
From it all roads, divisions of property
and distances throughout the province
were measured.
1t has been recognized as the heart oil
England, from which all it's articles
flowed, ''by every historian, dramatist
or antiquary known to English litera-
ture."
A feeling has always existed among
Englishmen about this stone which was
not altogether superstition, that, as all
distances were reckoned from it, SO ii
was in a certain way the base of the
stability of England. Youths Compan-

Gallery Audiences.

"Gallery audiences" said veteran
attache Of one of Philadelphia's theaters
recently, "are made up of some of the
most intelligent playgoers in the city.
Young men of moderate incomes pre-
vail, but often wealthy youths go among
the gods, as their elevated station af-
fords in many respects the most advan.
tageous place from which to view the
stage. The receipts from the gallery,
moreover, are a very Important item, and
the people in it do good work in leading
the applause. Edwin Booth always be-
gins an after the play speech by gazing
up at the gallery in recognition of it's en-.
thusiasm in greeting him.
Lawrence Barrett was always popu-
lar with the gods in Philadelphia, and he
used to say their applause was as re-
freshing drink to him. For the most
part the gallery audiences were well be-
haved, critical and intelligent, and for
myself l should feel sorry to see them
relegated, in this city anyhow, to the
pit as the English call the parquet. -

Joe McGrath Badly Punished by Billy
CoNEY ISLAND, N. Y, Dec. 28.-A
large and enthusiastic crowd OF sporting
men assembled here tonight to witness
finish fight between Billy Plimmer OF
England, champion bantam weight OF
the world, and Joe McGrath, the cham
pion ITO pound man of Ireland, at the
Coney Island Athletic club. Plimmer
was the favorite, being backed with con-
siderable money, but the Irish lad was
expected to put up stubborn fight and
give everybody a run for his money.
They fought for purse Of $2500. the
winner to take $4,000 and the loser
$500.
Little was done in the first round.
In the second Plimmer forced mat
ters, punching McGrath whenever he
pleased.
In the third Plimmer kept jabbing
his left into McGrath's mouth and soon
had that organ full of blood.
In the fourth Plimmer forced the
fighting, and landed just when and
where he saw fit. the Irish lad was
game and stood the punishment man

was no match for Plimmer.
The fifth round was a repetition OF
the others.
Round six was almost sickening to
behold. 1t was extremely brutal. Nc
Grath was pounded until he was so
groggy he could scarcely stand On his
feet. He was knocked down four times,
but gameiy got up each time before he
could be counted out.
Round seven was another exhibition
OF gameness on the part OF McGrath and
slugging by Plimmer. McGrath was re-
peatedly knocked down, but always got
up in time to save himself.
In the eighth Plimmer went at his
man with vicious rights and lefts,
pounding bis face out OF all semblance
Of human shape. 1t was 80 extremely
brutal that tha crowd yelled: Take
him off" and out of pure pity Jimmy
Carroll threw up the sponge. McGrath
got mad at his second for throwing up
the sponge,

falling here, but not very rapidly, as the
high water in the upper country has not
passed down yet, and that which spread
out over the Colusa, Butte and Sutter
lands, is now running back into the
river. The fall here eince last night has
been one foot. Considerable loss

morrow the Oregon trains will run
straight through by the old route. The
Oroville road will also be repaired to-

and ii the rain keeps off week will be
down to it's normal height.

He Will Go to the Senate Despite Cievc-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Star this
evening says: Politicians here do not
believe that Murphy of New York can
be defeated for the United States senate,
and they believe Cleveland appreciates
the fact. At present Cleveland has no
personal representative in the SEN
ate who is long experienced and
in position to act as leader. Should
he succeed in the election OF per-
soIal friend in New York it would not
improve the situation greatly, as no new
man, however capable, can figure very
prominently. Cleveland will. however,
have strong personal friend in the
senate by the time the Fifty-third con-
gress is organized, unless all present
plans miscarry. This will be Mr..
Bayard of Delaware. 1t is expected
that Senator Gray will 60 into the
cabinet. His retirement from the sem
ate will mean the election OF Bayard.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 28.-The Peoples
party leaders issued the following mani
festo today:
To the Peoples party legislators elect in Ne
braska, wyoming, NJ MOntan&, North Dakota,
California, and other states:
We hereby request that all and each
of you stand firm when it comes to bal
loting for United States senators in your
respective states. We caution you
against fusion with any Of the two DOM
inant parties; make square fight for
our principles, vote for no man unless
you know he will advocate and de-
fend them in the United States
senate. We have arrived at
the period in our movement where we
must make square stand.up fight for
principle. If the two dominant parties
want to fuse on candidate to defeat us,
let them do so; the sooner they do that,
the better it will be for us; you cannot
afford to consider the eupersonal interests
of any individual, no difference how
good or great he may be, that will leave
the tinge OF barter, trafficor compromise
attached to our party or principles. The
people look toyou to carry out the prom
iaes made in the last campaign, and un-
less you do your utmost in that diTec-
tion you will fail to do your full duty.
We also kindly requeHt that the PeO-
ple's party state, county and local COM
mittees in every state in the union do
all in their power and lend helping
hand to organize the Industrial Legion.
Push that organization in every state,
county, precinct and school district in
the land.

A GIGANTIC FAKs.
Why tho Burge-McAuliffe Match Was
Declared OF.

why tho Burge-McAuliffe Match was
Declared OF.
New YoRK, Dec. 28.--There is a een-
sational rumor going the rounds OF the
sporting fraternity OF this city to the eff
feet that the match between McAuliffe
and Burge for which the Coney Island
Athletic club recently offered a $45, 900
purse and subsequently withdrew it,
was to be q gigantic fake. The story
has created no end OF gossip here and Is
apparently based on facts. The cup.
poeition that the contest was to be pre-
arranged affair is strengthened by the fact
that Judge Newton, the match. maker of
the club, has intimated to some persons
that he heard Burge was to ''lay down"
to the American champion, and for
these reasons be refused to have any
thing to do with the men. Newton,
when interviewed this evening, refused
to either confirm or deny the rumors.
He, however, spoke as though he had
suspected something was suspicious
sons alone he had withdrawn the purse
to save the reputation of the club and
the public from being imposed upon.
INhW OhL1ANSs La, OcC. 20 a pTOm'
inent member of the Crescent City Ath-
letic club said today ''The Crescent
City Athletic club never offered $50 900
for the aBurge- -McAuliffe fight. Captain
Williams, sour representative, wac au-
thcrized to offer $4,000, which he did.
He made his proposition to McAuliffe,
who went to the Coney island officials
and told them our offer was $50 900.
This induced the big bid of Coney
island. They found out the trick and
Of course were disgusted. We won't
have anything to DO with the quibbling
6ghters. Anyway, the show ia not
