Challenge from Fitzsimmons.

CHICAGO. March 22.-Articles of agree
ment were signed tonight binding DICK
Moore and Dan Creedon to box twenty
rounds before the Twin City Athletic Club
Of Minneapolis on the night of April Il.
The match was made last Monday, but
definite arrangements were completed and
forfeits put up tonight.
Col. John Hopkins, hacker of Creedon,
said tonight regarding the offer of Bob
Fitzsimmons to fight Creedon for a purse

for Creedon and Fitzsimmons TO fight on
the 9th of March. When l returned 10 New
York, expecting FitZsimmons TO sign the
articles he refused to do so, saying he
must have purse of $4,000 and be guaran-
teed protection. Creedon did no work for
six months, waiting for a chance to fight
FitZsimmons, and now that he is matched
with Moore, Fitzsimmons comes out with
a challenge to fight Creedon for 5000

gress the following letter:

ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY,
State of Maine VS.. John Leclair, aplt.
Rescript by Whitehouse, J.-This is a pro-
cess for the seizure of intoxicating liquors
and the case comes to the law court on
special demurrer to the complaint and
warrant, specifying two grounds of OBJ
jections:
l.-That the complaint and warrant con-
st1tuted seizure process and not a search
and seizure process.
2-That the clerk of the Municipal court
OF Lewiston and not the judge received the
complaint and issued the warrant

State vs. Mccain, SO Maine. $685. When an
officer has without warrant seized intoxi-

there upon makes his complaint and taxes

not required to in sert in his complaint
false recital that the liquors which he has
seized and removed ''are still kept and

Bread ON the Waters.

Two gamblers were hiving the sunshine
on one of the business corners when an
old man hobbled by. He had signals of
distress all over him. AS the dying driver
of a Montana coach said of himself, this
old man was on the down grade and could
not reach the brake This man was once
police justice in this city. The gamblers
stepped aside to let him go by.
THE old man is pretty feeble said one
of them.
''All broke up. Nothing left but his
wife,
He saved us many dollar"
''That's what he did, old man. When
the 'dittle' (detaiD used to run us In, the
old man would fine us So or $40 apiece
and save us expense Of making defense in
the criminal court"

"Let's take $500 out of the game and
make him present of it. He needs ID
now"
''That's more than I've made in NV

package in his house containing ave 100

The Black Bear of North America.

-
The black bear (Ursus americanus) is
the most persistent of all our large nam
mails in his refusal to be exterminated.
Because Of tho facts that his senses are
keen, his temper suspicious and shy and
his appetite not at all caprioious he hangs
on in the heavily wooded mountains
swalnps and densely timbered regions Of
North America generally long after other
kinds of big game have all been killed or
driven away.
AS his name implies, he is Jet black all
over except his nose, and when his fur is
in good condition it is glossy and beauti-
full. His muzzle from his ewes down into
the edge Of his upper lip is either dull
yellow or dingy white, and sometimes,
particularly in Alaska, he has a white
spot on his breast. According to locality
and climate, the hair of the black bear
may be short and close, as in the south,
or long and inclined to shagginess, though
not so much SO as the grizzlys. Very often
hts coat will be abundantly thick and of
good length, but SO even on the outside
and SO compact that he looks as if he had
been gone over by the scissors and comb OF
skilEul barber.
So far as have seen, neither the griz-
ely nor cinnamon ever has that appear
ance. In the north, where his furry coat
is finest it is now eagerly sought by the
furriers, and the standard price for a large
skin of good quality is $25. The ladies
prize it for muffs and collars, and the car
pet warrior and the bandmaster love to
have it tower heavenward from their war
like brows as shako.-W. T. Hornaday

FOR THE FARMER BOY.

How to Get at the Top or the
Heap.
Last year Delaware College established
two new short courses in Agriculture to
furnish instruction to such young men as
feel that that they cannot give the time
necessary for complete college course.
These courses proved so popular with
those who took them that we wish to call
attention Of others to them, now that the
opening Of the college year is at hand.
Every young man intending to be a
farmer should learn what the college thus
offers as preparation for his life work. If
he thinks he cannot afford the time for
either of the two longer courses which be-
gin with the opening of the college, Sep
temper 9Th, he should, at least make
up his mind to take the short winter
course beginning January I'd.
1t is none too early to begin preparation
for this course, now. This Winter Course
includes only such studies as are of di-
rect practical use to the farmer; and by
taking it young man is enabled to make
profitable use of some of his winter leisure,
by pursuing course of studies related to
his every day work. Prof. w. H. Bishop of
Newark will give anyone any information
on the subject

BOUGHT AT FORECLOSURE.

il Consolidation of Baltimore q Fasterl
II Shore and Other Comapanfes To-day.
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 29th.-At noon to-da,
was completed the last link in the consoli
dation of the properties of the Baltimor,
/ & Eastern Shore Railroad Co.. Maryland
Steamboat Co., Choptank Steamboat Co
and the Eastern Shore Steamboat Co.,
when Henry P. Scott of the banking firm
of Elliott, Johnson & Co.. Wilmington
Del, representing the purchasing syndicate
bought in at foreclosure sale the Baltimore
e. Eastern Shore Railroad Co.
The price paid was the nominal one
fixed by order of court i'll the decree of
sale as the syndicate owned almost the
entire issue of the old outstanding bonds
issued by the railroad. The new company
which has been incorporated under the
laws of Maryland to take over these pro-
pertles is known as the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake & Atlantic Railway Co., with capital
of $2,5 900.
The properties now owned by this COM
pany have practically controlled the traffic
of the Delaware. Maryland and Virginia
Peninsula along the Eastern Shore of the
Chesapeake bay to and from Baltimore for
many years past, and the the consolidation
will permit their more economical manage
ment as well as give an improved service
through the advantage of sameness in
ownership.
The boat lines extend along all the i'm
portant water ways of the eastern shore of
the Chesapeake bay and include fleet of
Is high class steamboats, and over liz
wharf properties. The railroad extends
from Claiborne, Md. on the Chesapeake
bay across the fertile Peninsula to Ocean
City on the Atlantic Ocean, distance of
about 80 miles.
The new company represents very power
full interests and not only keeps in the
management the service of the gentlemen
who made the separate lines successful, but
has joined with them men well known in
the business world for marked executive
ability as we'll as great wealth.
The hoard Of directors include John E.
Searles, Brayton Ives, William F. Have
meyer, Charles C. Pomeroy, Winthrop NJ.
Tuttle, New York City; Enoch Pratt, N. P.

more, Md; Henry P. Scott, Thomas B.
Smith, Captain Willard Thomson, Will |
mington, Del; Carroll s. Tyson, Philadel- |
phia, Pa; J. s. Kicker. Portland, Me.
This new traffic consolidation will be of |
great advantage to the farmers and fruit |
growers of our Peninsula, as with the i'm
proved facilities better opportunities are
offered them to ship their products to the
Baltimore market.
