IN THE INTEREST OF SCIENCE
A PriZe-fight Takes Place in Edison 5
Laboratory.

New YORK, June 16.-A prize-fght in
the interest of science is rather a unique
event, but that is what is reported to have
taken place in the laboratory of Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor, near Orange,
n. j., last night. The mill was between
Mike Leonard and Jack Cushing, both
of Brooklyn. and Mr.. Edison and party
of six gentlemen. all intimate friends of
the inventor. were the SPECTATORS. Six
rounds were fought. and then Leonard put
his man out with a clever right-haud
punch.
The preliminaries, it is said were all
arranged several days ago by Mr.. Edison's
representatives and purse of $500 sub
scribed, all of which was to 60 to the win
ner. The fighters weighed in at $50 pounds
when they entered the 12-foot ring, which
had been pitched within the focus of Mr.
Edson's invention, the kinetOgraph, which
was to catch and preserve every movement
of the pugiists for the purpose Of repro
dnction later on.
1t is said that some time ago Jack Nc
Aulitfe and his sDarring partner boxed a
few rounds before the camera, but the ex-
hibition was far from being a real fight.

SHIPPING GOLD.
The City Bank Sends Half Million
TO GERMANY.


to Germany.
NEW YORK, June 16-The City Bank
has created good deal of talk by drawing
from its own vaults the 100000 in gold
which Heidelback. Ickleheimer & Co. will
ship to Germany to-day. Rumor had il
that this was done at the request of the
Treasury Department and by agreement
with the Clearing house banks. Presi-
dent Stillman of the City Bank simply
said that the bank had decided to furnish
gold to any depositors who were in the
gold-eXporting business. The action of
the City Bank had a reassuring effect on
some tnancers, who have been watching
with some alarm the growing gold ship
ment total and the Diminishing gold re-
serve OF the Government. 1t was argued
that the bank had been satisfied that the
gold movement Europeward was about al
finale before it had departed from its
usual self-preservation policy and had
parted with its private supply. The fact
that LaZard FTeres had cut down their last
order on Thursday from 81. 250.000 to
$4,000 was also regarded as indicating the
END OF the present gold movement. Ac-
curate observers say that S., 100000 more
will end the shipments.

A treasury clerk who was discharged early
