THE RING.
Fight Awarded to Plimmer After Po-
lice Interference.

Coney Island, n. Y, Nov. 26.-The
Seaside Athletic club offered very
attractive card tonight for the lovers
of boxing. MaXey Haugh and Gene
Garcia were the first pair to. don the
gloves, the men Weighing in at no
pounds for a six-round bout, the fight
being declared a draw at the end of
the third round.
Bobby Dobbs, of Minneapolis, and
Billy Vernon, the 'Haverstraw Brick
maker" were scheduled to fight at 1876
pounds. Vernon seemed to have a
sure thing of it when the fourth round
began, but, in a rush at his man he fell.
He regained his feet Immediately,
however, and made another swing, but
his blow fell short and the impetus
was so great that he fell down, his
head striking the floor of the ring The
referee counted ten seconds before the
brickmaker could regain his senses,
and the sports had the privilege of see
ing a man knocked out by himself.
The big contest of the night was
next in order. Billy Plimmer, of En-
gland, and Charles Kelly, of New York,
were the contestants at ia pounds.
Plimmer was seconded by his brother
Jack, Benny Murphy and Al Robbins,
of England
kins. Tommy Connolly, Jim Kelly and
Pete Butler Both men looked TO be in
perfect condition. They each weighed
ia pounds, and the bout was to be 20
rounds. A good deal of money was bet
on the result the Englishman being the
favorite at 2 to /.

New York Could Make it Lively for
Amy Foreign Enemy That Might
Attack Her.

New York, Nov. 26.-Tne board of
ordnance and Notifications of the
United States have just been conduct
ing a series of experiments al the
Sandy Hook proving grounds the last
two days with a view of ascertaining
how we'll protected New York city is
from attack by a, foreign enemy, and
ALSO to- know with exactnass what
may be expected from mortar batteries
in the way of accuracy when they are
trained on the enemy's ship cltand:ng
out at sea. The result of the boards
Investigations have been highly graft
flying to say the least, and shows that
no warlike vessels could get near our
harbor without undergoing the ordeal
of a tremendous bomblrdment, both as
regards accuracy of aim and rapidity
Of firing. The story is best told in the
words of General B. Cutcheon, of Mich
igan, chairman of the board, who is an
expert in military matters and parsicu-
larly in projectiles, and was at the
head of the House committee on mill
tary affairs in the Forty-irst Congress.
Our experiments at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds were directed for the
most part to motar batteries said
General Cutcheon. I'VE would fire
them all together and then in groups
OIL I0uT.. we 6Xpef1menCed WTtn them at
the e-evajtion and range for accuracy
and to see if the projectiles would fall
all together. We fired four at a 1900
yards range and an elevation Of so
degrees, SO as to make them drop on
the beach near the 1900 yards target
Then we went down to see where the
projectiles struck, and had the shots
plated on paper. We were more than
pleased to find that they had all fallen
very closely together; that in fact, the
greatest distance or extreme dispersion
was only 80 feet.
A battery, you know, is made up of
sixteen mortars, and we set them off
in groups of four One of the groups
we fired out to sea, and the accuracy
was such that they all seemed to be
one projectile, striking simultaneously
and making one splash. 1T was a BEAU
tiful sight to witness You could see
the projectiles sail through the air as
| if they were birds moving in curves,
disappear from sight then reappear
again, and, after describing another
beautiful curve in their descent. strike
the water in such a way as to stir it up
| like a volcano and send up a big wave
| from the depths.
| rately we could perforate the decks Of
an enerny's ship by orr projectiles, and
1 need hardly tell you that the mortars
| would make it pretty lively for anyone
| who happened in the line of their range.
Not only one, but all Of them practi-
cally hit the target

He Planned Suicide.

New York, Nov, 26.-From plain facts
adduced this evening, there can be lit
tie doubt that Frederick r, Baker, the
|accomplfce of Defaulter Seeley, of the
Shoe and Leather National bank, had
planned to commit suicide. When his
box ait the Park National bank was ex-
amined, it was found that no later
than October 4, last, MIR. Baker had
taken out two insurance policies for
$4,000 each, with the Equitable Life
Insurance company. 1t was found that
these policies were inc0ntestable, an 2d-
ditional premium of 500 each being
paid, ITO make them so. Two policies
were made payable to Bakers wife.
They are not rendered invalid because
of Bakers suicide. He had tried to in
sure in several companies, but failed.
because the companies would not strike
out the suicide clause in the policy. So
far as could be ascertained this even
ing 1T is thought that Baker had at
least 5000 worth of fncontestible in
suTance on his life.

intend to restore the surplus to Its old
figure, and in order to do this it may
be necessary to levy an assessment OF
25 per cent. or a little more. .
This afternoon representative of the
Shoe and Leather bank went to the
Park National Bank and Safe Deposit
vaults and with several officials of the
latter concern, opened Bakers box. In
it were found a lot of unimportant
memoranda, a check for So. $270 in
cash and will executed in 1871.
Business at the National Shoe and
Leather bank was conducted as usual
all day and the receipts and disburse-
ments evinced no extraordinary con-
dition. The bank officials asserted
that they have no doubt but that the
bulk OF the money taken by Seeley and
Baker will be recovered.
President Crane, of the Shoe and
Leather bank, who was seen after the
meeting of the directors, said;
The directors did not meet to fix
upon an assessment of the bank s
stock. We have no power in the mat
/, ter We can only suggest to the comp
troller OF the currency the necessity of
such action
yice-President Pease was asked
about the effect of the defalca tons OF
the bank:
Il am prepared he said. ito buy al
nign Hgure any OF the banks stock
that may be for sale That is the most
eloquent evidence of my faith in the
banks stability
Paying Teller Sayre said at the close
of the afternoons business:
AT no time during the day was there
any semblance of a run on the bank
The president and vice-president of the
Park National bank have expressed
their willingness to come here and
work with US if it is necessary to save
the bank. Happily this will not be
necessary
We have paid out $4,000 but our re,
ceipts have been largely in excess OF
! that amount
| President Crane supplemented this
| statement by saying:
Nearly all of our out of town cor
respondents have assured us that they
will not draw against their accounts
until our troubles are over One west
ern firm, with more than $4,000 bal
ance, wrote saying that they mean tC
leave their money on account and will
continue to deposit with u.s.
| The bank officials are going to pay
considerable attention to the late Mr.
Bakers life insurance policies. They
say they are convinced that the Baker
family will be made to see the justice
of the banks claim against the prop.
