trations OF Meyer and his worse than
Lucretia BorGla consort.
For this reason and because OF their
prompt legal action the New York au-
thorities are cheerfully confident that
within a few days both alleged poi
soners will be lodged In the Tombs and
awaiting trial for the cold-blooded. com
mercial murder with which they are
charged.
According to DR.. Minden. the physi-
clan who attended Baum shortly before
his death. detectives are still shadow
ing the man Wimmere, who lived with
the Meyers and Baum previous to the
latter's death. Or Minden. too. thinks
that Wimmere gave Information that
led TO the location of the doctor and
Mrs. Meyer in Detroit.
A peculiar feature of the case Is that
Mrs Meyer has n babe in arms, be
lieved by the police to be the child ot her
victim. Brandt. or Baum.
When arrested In Detroit. Meyer was
carrying this child in his arms.

The Governor was not in Albany yes
terday. and Inspector McLauglin, up
to 10 o'clock this morning, had heard

Should Gov. Flower be in Watertown,
Inspector Mclaughlin says, It will be

to view big wad Of Confederate notes,
which hs said he would wager on the son
of Italy provided he would sign articles
and 90 into training.
The sight Of the notes soon changed the
tone of the Italians lingo, and graSping
Ryan by the hand he said: II will tight
anything that walks fer that money, and l
will go now to training some where"
Barney Farley's hostelry was suggested
as fine place to train, from the fact that
Barney always keeps a good larder and is
very partial to Italians.
Ryan would not consent to his charge
leaving his sight for a single day. and de-
eided that the elongated Italian must train
on the water front, where he could reap the
benefits OF the fae favored fishery breeze
that is waited from Fishermea'S wharf at
early morn.
The new star in pugIi N agreed to the
proposition, and his daily routine of work,
which he has been taking for some days, is
as follows:
Rise at 6 A. NJ; walk the entire length Of
the city front before breakfast, after which
rope is tied around his waist and the
Hgilist is dipped four times into the water
at Fishermen's wharf.
Returning to his training quarters on
Nanny Goat HiIl, the fighter is rubbed
down with sandpaper gloves padded with
garlic.
Breakfast consists of fish, wine and mac
aroni tarts.

lowed three hours sleep in fish net, after
which he punches a bag filed with nails
and is rubbed down as before with gloves
made of sandpaper
Strange to state the Italian likes his sys-
tenn Of exercise, and according TO report he
has gained the respect Of all the fishermen
on the water front, who look upon him as
being an invlncible. He dreams Of bank
notes and glory, and if he should fail TO
whip his prospective opponent his handlers
say that u will not be because he has not
tiained faithfully for the battle.
lie is not at all afraid Of police interfer-
enee. as the Iules which he viii fight under
