faithful performance of the dat IS
required. The management of the
association is practically under four
men, namely Gus Runge, f. l.. Snyder,
+ rSt Assistant Kinney and Second AS
sistant Canterbury. Within the next
Giarly DAYS SIS. 1855 %, or per cent OF
the total received for insurance preml-
ums in Minneapolis in 1892 Is to be
turned over TO The relief association by
the state. 1t is quite likely that the in
Surance men will try TO stop the pay
ment of this money until thorough in
veSIigation OF the books of the aSSOcia-
ton mas been made. The underwriters
claim that, as they have to pay certain
tax for the maintenance of the aSsocla-
ton, they have perfect right to know
how the funds are handled.
A prominent member of the under
writer's association in speaking OF the
matter yesterday said:
The report of Chief Runge on the
financial condition of the relief asSocla-
ton is enough grounds for us to protest
against the state turning over any
money until the officers of the relief as
ISOLATION are required to furAiSh bonds
for the faithful performance of their du-
ties. The idea that the interest on $5S,-
600 for one year did not amount to more
than S5l6.G6 is absurd. Any one can get
) per cent per apnum in the local banks
aud that would amount to $3.50 as iu-
tereSt on the money. The state taxes us
for the support of the association and
we propose to see that Its affairs are
conducted properly"
In speaking of the money subscribed
by citizens to go to the firemen injured
at the elevator fire. he said: "Ihere

been unable to find a single fireman

HALLS RECORD.
Only Once Defeated, and That by
Heavy Man.

New ORLEANS, March S.-James
Hall was born III Sydney July II, 1868.
After leaving school he served an APP
premiership at the plastering trade or
less than year. His first fight was
with George White at Botany. Hall
weighed $50 pounds and White
49,. Hall won in seven minutes.
His next battle was with
Starlight. which Hall won Ill
twenty-five rounds. Hall next defeated
Jack SlaYin in six rounds. Then he beat
Jack MallOy in six rounds and Jim
Nolan, weighing l95, in three rounds. lie
then undertook to stop Pablo Fanque in
next battle was with Jim FOgarty, and
Hall claims that he had the better of
that battle, which lasted fourteen
rounds. He defeated Peter Bollan in
sixteen rounds, and then came his
fight with FitZsimmons, who lost i'll
three and half rounds. He next de-
feated Eddie Walsh in five rounds,
Herbert Goddard in four rounds. All
these battles took place in Sydney. His
next appearance was at Broken Hill,
where he was matched against Owney
Sullivan, giving away twenty-SiX
pounds. In this fight Hall suffered
his first defeat after eleven rounds.
Hall tried to secure return match
with his conquerOr, but failed. He
stopped Tut Ryan, Dan Crodon and
Harry Mace, the dummy" inside of
eight rounds each. but failed to ac-
complish the same feat with Peter Boil
Ian, OH account of the latter's con-
tinuous clinching. He challenged
Joe Goddard to an eight-round contest,
but the match was nat made. The story
OF Halls career in this country has been
given in detail in connection with the
relation of circumstances leading up to
his fight and i'll FitZsimm0ns' record, and
about ali that remains to say of him is to
tell OF his victory over Ted Plitcnard,
the English middleweight. In weight,
height and reach Hall has some advan
tage over + tZSimmOns, and the more
coOl-headed of his admirers estimated
that these advantages would enable him
to win with man who is recognized as
very clever and fast fighter.

THE HAWTHORNE GHOST.
Hideous Face Seen Through the
Window of an Empty House.

W lluOh OA al AAOuSCs
Near the corner of Fifteenth street
and Hawthorne avenue stands hand
some brick dwelling, whose only Occu-
pant is a huge gray rat, with a spot of
white on the back, where the caudal APP
pendage begins. The residence has
been empty some time, and it is likely
to remain so for some time to come, I'M
less the owner can rid it of the presence
of what SOME timid people have pleased
to term a ghost. Ghost stories as a
rule are tireSome, from the fact that
there is no truth in them, but the ghost
of the Hawthorne avenue residence is
real, for it is composed of flesh and
blood, and is of the male gender.
Some miscreant has evidently pro-
cured a KEY to one of the doors of this
residence. for at all times of the day
and early evening he can be seen with
his face pressed against the pane of the
parlOr window. making grimaceS at
passers by. He has frightened the peo-
pie in the neighbOrhOOd. especially the
women and children, half TO death. and
on TWO occasions have the police been
asked to investigate. Last week the
patrol wagon was sent for and an officer
went to the house. but could find no
one. He saw the gray rat and noted
the white birth mark, but did not find
the ghost.
The residence is within two doors of
the one occupied by Harlow Gale and
family, and they have been caused
much annoyance by the person referred
to. Mr.. Gale says he is growing tired
Of the whole matter, and threatens dire
vengeance on the miScreant if he does
not stop his larking. 1t is said the man
insults women and children on the
streets and then rusheS to the back door
of the haunted house and lets himself in.
He is described as Notwithstanding fel
low with a heavy light cOlOred beard.
HIS nose is said to be fiat and broad,
and his eyes small and like those of a
ferret. 1t is probable that his nose has
become broadened and tiattened from
constant pressing against the window
pane. At any rate, the people of the
neighbOrhOOd say he is an exceedingly
| Unlocking fellow, and those who have
| common sense enough to realize he is
mortal are fearful he may do them
bodily harm.
n GLOBE reporter inquired of one of
the neighbOrs Yesterday what he
thought of the matter, and he remarked
with emphasis:
"l'll be hanged if | know what to
make of the fellow. He is either some
tramp who has taken possession of the
place, or else crazy man who finds
diversion in frightening people. 1t may
be. though, that he is another Jekyll
and Hyde, and when people come to
search the house for him, turns himself
into the big gray rat. That spot of
white on the rats back probably be-
comes his face when he changes himself
INTO human form again.
1t is likely, if the hideous face con-
tihues appearing at the parlOr window.
that the residents of Hawthorne avenue
will some day 90 out in a body and
capture him. In this event, tar and
feathers will be his lot. The premises
will also be rid of the stately gray rat.

FIIZSIMMONs' RECORD.
Victorious in All His Scraps but

NEW ORLEANS. March g. Robert
FitZsimmons was born in Cornwall,
England. June 4, 1862. He was taken to
New Zealand while still very young
and remained there until he crossed the
Pacific ocean, landing in California.
He served his apprenticeship in black
smith shop, and was all expert at
horShoeIng before he became known
as a boxer. When Herbert Slade, the
Maori, was touring through New Zea-
land, FitzsimmonS was induced to spar
with him. The result was startling
surprise, not only to Slade, but to Fitz-
simmons himself, for the slender-look-
ing blacksmith knocked out the giant in
the third round. FitZslmmons met jim
Crawford, another heavyweight, and
bested him in three rounds. FitZSim
mons next defeated jim Slavin, brother
of Frank SlavIn. Next came FitZsim-
mons meeting with Hall. FilZsimmons
claims that in their first meeting he de-
feated Hall in five rounds, and that

arrangement, titZsimmOnS event out"
after a supposed contest of three
and a half rounds. Hall contends that
this contest was bona fide contest on
its merits, but FitZsimm0ns insists that
he agreed to ''go out" The hardest
fight of FitZsimmonS' career was the
battle with starlight" the colored
Australian middlewelght. FitZsimmOns
succeeded in knocking him out in
nine rounds. At Jem Mace's box
ing tournament III New Zealand i'll

the Relief Association.
The fire department investigation
committee has now tackled the Fire
mems Relief association, and from all
accounts there will be some interesting
developments concerning the manner
in which the funds of the association
are handled. The committee has graSped
time by the forelOOk and employed an eX-
pert accountant, whose duty 1t Will be to
give the books and accounts of the as
SocIatiOn a thorough Overhaullng. 1t
was learned last night that the books
were turned over to the accountant yes
terday noon, and he hopes to be able to
report within a weeks time. The mat
ter was touched upon last night, and
several of the firemen who have acted
in the capacity of directors of the aSSe-
citation were called in and obliged TO
tell what they knew of the business.
The statement furnished the commit
tee by Chief Runge. showing the tinan-
cial condition of the relief fund on the
3lSt of December, 1892, and his indiSpo-
sition to explain how the money,
amounting to nearly $1,000, subscribed
by citizens after the elevator fire in
1891, was expended, is attracting the at
tention of the members of the commit
tee and the underwriters in general.
On Dec. l, 1892. the total amount of
money in the relief fund amounted to
S6S, $3.50. The chief, in itemizing the
general ard pension funds, says that
there was a balance of $45,9lS.69 on
hand Aug. l, 1892, in the former
fund, the interest amounting to 1898. 10.
The balance on hand i'll the pension
fund at the same time amounted to
S12, 1880. and the interest on that
money had been S21750. 1t was the
items announcing the amount of inter-
est that first led the insurance men to
ask that the accounts of the association
be examined. That the interest on up
wards of S5S. 600 for one year amounted
to only S5l5.66 was enough to convince
members of the committee and of the
underwriters association that the relief
funds were not being handled advan-
tageOusly. Another strange thing about
the relief association is that none OF the

the World.
NEW ORLEANS, March S.-The arena,
which has been erected by the Crescent
City Athletic club for their glove con-
tests, is, without doubt, far and away
the greatest of its kind in the
world, and, excepting the vast uncov-
cred arenas of the ancient Roman his
tory. nothing will surpass it. II is
a huge octagon, nearly or quite 800 feet
in diameter. with the ring in the center
and tiers of seats rising around it in
amphitheater fashion to a height of
over twenty-four feet, while out from
the walls above the seats pro-
jects broad gallery, having
its seats graduated upward toward
the walls in the same manner. No
figures could convey to the reader an
adequate idea of the immensely of the
vast enclosure, but suffice it to say that
it will seat 1900 spectators very COM
fortably, with all the alsles and en-
frances kept clear and open. 1t
is brilliantly lighted by electricity,
and provided with ample means
