HAVING FUN WITH JOHN L.
Marx Thought He Could Fight, but Was
Induced to Change His Mind.

Galveston has on two occasions owned
boxers of her own and printed columns
touching their prowess, said Texan to
New York Journal reporter. "The first
was person named AL Marx. He loaded
cotton aboard boats and thought he could
fight. The Galveston people led him to
this view by iii advised adulation. One
day John L. Sullivan and his combination
made q Knockout tour of the country. At
Galveston Pat Sheedy, in modest, lowly
way, the same as he plays faro, came to
the front of the stage and said that Mr..
Sullivan would be SO much pleased with
any local gentleman who would stay with
him three rounds, three minutes each,
with pillows, that he would swell his for
tune with a present of $500 There were
largo number OF folks In the assemblage
who, while not hating Marx, after all did
not need him and were perfectly willing
he should die, and who the moment Shcedy
ceased yelled
"'Marxl Mark
"Thus called fer, Marx was weak enough
to go upon the stage for the three rounds.
1t was a case Of butchered 10 make Ro-
man holiday Marx appeared wearing his
own proper trousers turned up at the bot
tom and girt about his waist by bis gal
lusos. He wanted to show the public that
he was simply an everyday fighter, in sym
pathy with the common people. This Is
the way Marx told me the story Of the
fight:
Through tho FIRST round the big brute
didn't do thing. He acted like he could
not lift his arms He had the lonesomest
hands l ever see Thoy didn't visit me
onct. thought his arms was lead, or may
be he was drunk When l went 20 me
corner, says 20 meself. MARX, me boy,
that dub can't fight" and i made up mo
mind 10 lick him. At first | thought I'd
lick him in the second round, but re-
membored had friends in the house who
wanted 20 sec good time, SO i decided TO
havo fun with Sullivan In the second
round and kill him in the third. I goes
through the second round rapping and tap
ping mo man when and where / liked and
me frionds yelling with delight.
while l was waiting for the third
round I began to figure on how I'd spend
the $500 the big stiff was going TO give me
and wondered why I'd never found out
was fighter before. We had just stepped
up for tho third round, and was getting
ready TO drop me man, when suddenly, as
II by accident, sullivan hit me slap with
his left hand on the side Of the face that
sorter stood me on my heels and before l
got back TO my feet he smashed me with
his right hand, and mo light went out. 1T
was like I'd run against the pole Of n dray.
just before / won't up for the third
round l noticed IL was 10 o'clock. When
! came TO mesclf, asked the nurse at the
hospital what time It was, and she said:
Half past IL.
SO all I got out Of tho "go" was ga

SURPRISE LAWN PARTY.

II Mr.. Oscar n. Bender ever had any
notion that he has enemies, that illusion
was happily dissipated last evening. Mr..
Bender lives at 300 Smith street,
Edgewood, and drove up town last even
ing on an errand. When he returned he
was startled to find his slawn decorated
and illuminated with japanese Ian
terms and as he drove in
to the stable he was still
more surprised at the greeting he received
from about thirty friends, who brought
along some tin hoins, firecrackers and
other noiseless instruments, TO let Mr..
Bender know that he had COM
pany. Ii was the SD anniversary
of the popular gentleman's birth, hence
the surprise, and the guests also had sew
eral handsome and costly gifts under
their coats. Then there was dancing,
which lasted till after midnight, and a
collation., music, and singing by a male
quartet served to enhance the enjoyment.

GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.
Valkyrle Seemed to Shake Badly and
She Was Decisively Beaten.

HUNTERS QUAY, July 3.-There is no
denying that Valkyrie's failure today
ing circles here and elsewhere. At the
club house of the Mudhook Yacht Club
after the race, all the yachtsmen assembl-
ed looked very glum. "There is no
good sending her to America; better
send Britannia was the general
comment. Sufficient proof was given by
the performance of the cup challenger
today that she has quite fullen short of ex-
pectations. In no point OF sailing did she
show the least ground for believing that
she will be real aspirant for America s
cup honors.
In today's course there were 80 miles
of free reaching, and about Ia miles Of
windward work. On both these points
OF sailing, the challenger was decisiyely
beaten, not only by Britannia, but by
Ailsa as well. Valkyrie was unable to
carry her immense spread OF canvas, and
seemed to shape badly altogether.

FINANCIAL NE WS.
Cheapness Of Money the
Great Bull Argument.
Crop Conditions Promise Better Than
in Several Years.
-ccial 70 The News.

NEW YORK, July 8. The one great bull
argument for the moment is the cheap
ness of money. 1t Is not reasonable to
expect any material recessions in prices
while the funds can be had at the alb
normally low rates at present quotable.
This fact is appreciated by all the con-
servative brokers in the street. They
know that while the bears may become
aggressive and formidable in specialties,
they will stand no chance against the
general railroad list. Those who feel
particularly bearish upon certain OF the
lndustrials, and would like, incidentally,
TO down the Changers, quite freely admit
that their prospects of success In this
direction are not favorable.
While crop prospects remain as bright as
they are for the moment, it Will be almost
an impossibility TO bring about any
marked recession in prices. Such whole
some, promising conditions have not pre-
vailed from crop-growing point of view
in more than 10 years.

The Fight Cannot BE Legalized I'm
Texas-Eirst Set Back.

AUSTIN, Texas, July g. State Comp
bett-F Fitzsimmons fight at Dallas set
back. In letter TO the tax collecrtor at
Dallas he says: "While the act of 1889
provides for an occupation tax of $500 for
every fight between man and man, the
Legislature of this State has by subse-
quethnt enactment made il unlawful for
any person TO voluntarily enter into
pugilisic encouner for money or upon
the result whereof any money is wagered.
That the effect of the said act so much
of the act OF 1889 as permitted an occupa-
ION tax to be charged for fights between
man and man has been decided by our
cour of criminal appeals. "You are here
fore respectfully advised that this depart
ment will not attempt TO legalize the pro
posed pugilistic encouner in this State

HORSE THIEF PUNISHED.


Mr.. Quinn then asked permission to
amend this writ by making the heirs To
the estate plaintiffs. The court thought
this should not be done, as the rights vi
parties might be changed thereby.
Judgment was entered for the defend
ant for costs.
WAS IT A LOTTERY?
The Narragansett Wheelman Association
sued Michael Stapleton for the recovery
OF SPA The plaintiffs held a fair last
winter and claim that the defendant was
one of four candidates for bicycle on a
combination ticket, and that he failed TO
return the proceeds Of the sale OF 12i0
tickets.
T. +. Cosgrove, counsel for Stapleton,
made a long argument to the effect that
the action could not be maintained, as
the sale OF the combination tickets was
lottery and against public policy. He
cited number OF authorities in support
of his contention.
Percy ID. Slocum for the plaintiff, con
tended that the sale OF the tickets were
not against the statutes OF the State, and
that they were not lottery tickets.
Judge Wilbur asked IL there was
proof that any OF the tickets had been
sold and not properly accounted fort
Mr.. Slocum replied in the negative.
At I o'clock the court took a recess,
leaving the arguments unnnlsneu.
MOTION GRANTED.
After the noon recess, the trial OF the
suit of the Narragansett Wheelmen VS..
Michael Stapleton was resumed. Judge
Wilbur said that as the action brought by
the plaintiff was one of trover he had
come to the conclusion, after examining
the authorities that 1t could not be sus-
tanned, and granted MIR. Cosgrove's
motion for q non-suit.

The bylaws of the company provide
that no bonds can be issued unless sane
toned by the owners of three-fourths of
the stock.
Applications will be made to have this
stock listed on the Boston and Providence
stock Exchanges.
There is an actual scarcity Of good Of
fees in Providence, which is shown by
the fact that before the plans were ready
to be exhibited applications were made
by enough tenants to All four floors of
the new building.
The land is bounded by Weyboeset
street, Post Office Court, Dyer street and
-Danwell's Gangway, and therefore has
believed to be the best location in the
city for office puposes. Weybosset and
Dyer streets are two Of the principal
thoroughfares of the city, and the new
building will have frontage OF sbout 81
feet on each. The length Of Post
Office Court and DunwelPs Gangway is
about 260 feet.

and superior to any building now in ex-
istence in Providence.

ton are the architects.
The builders are Messrs. Norcross
Brothers of Boston and Providence, who
are under contract to complete the build
ing and have it ready for occupancy jan
