TOO RICH FOR A POLICEMAN.


NEW YORK, Oct. l3.-Policeman Thomas
ORourke has been retired by President
Roosevelt after a service OF twelve years.
O'Rourke says that the only charge brought
against him was that ne possessed too much
money. When called before the police COM
missioners he drove to headquarters in
carriage taking along his own coachman.
who assisted him 20 alight. He wore
profusion of diamonds and his clothes were
of the latest pattern ORourke explains
his possession OF so much wealth in a very
few words He used TO be on night duty
in Morrisania, in the extreme northern
suburb of the city. While there he realized
that real estate would increase in value
with the gradual extension of the city linn
it's, and he accordingly bought a few lots.
In this way he got start. He continued
to speculate, and Is now worth nearly
$500.000 He has been building some fiat
houses on his property, and when on duty,
it is alleged he paid more attention to his
fats than he did TO the business OF the de-
partment. President Roosevelt warned him
several times and finally turned O'Rourke's
picture to the wall. To his comrades
O'Rourke is known as "Brocky the mil
lonaire" This case of suddenly acquired
wealth is by no means the only one that
has come under the notice of the commits
sioners. There are quite a number OF po-
licemen in the pay of the city who have
made money in legitimate real-estate speca-
lation.

FIGHT NOW PROBABLE
GOVERNOR CLARKE, HOWEVER,
SAYS 1T WON'T BE A PRIZE FIGHT.
Modifica tion of His Recent Statement
Tint Will Give the sports at Hot
Springs Renewed Hope.

LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 13.-'"There may be
a fight 1T Hot Springs, but it won't be
a prize fight" said Governor Clarke to a
reporter this afternoon. II earnestly hope
that extreme measures will not be neces-
sary. I know those people, every one Of
them. and they are my friends. and 1 should
very much regret to be compelled TO adopt
harsh methods, but the law gives me the
authority and supplies the means, and. If
the necessity arises, / shall certainly pre-
vent the fight at any COST
The Governor finds that the law OF 1881
was not legally enacted leaving the State
without q law on the subject of prize fight
ing. The law OF 1888, in his opinion, in
vests in the executive ample authority for
carrying out the policy he has decided TO
adopt. This law does not refer TO prize
fights, but rather to riots and rebellion.
Under it's operation the Governor is al
lowed almost unlimited latitude and could
declare the district in which the disturb
ance" occurs to be in rebellion against the
State and could not only drive out by force
all the parties connected with the dis
turbance but could imprison without pro-
cess of law

NOTES IRON MEXICO.


CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. Is-Now that
the work on the grand canal and tunnel,
the most important parts Of the project
for draining the city and valley OF Mexico.
are substantially completed, attention is
being turned to plans suggested for re-
constructing the entire sewerage system of
the city. President Diaz informs the city
government that a resolution will be in
troduced Immediately in Congress appro-
priating $500 monthly for ten years to
aid in reforming the city sewers, provided
the City Council viii appoint a board of
directors to take charge of this money.
The total cost of the work is estimated
variously from $6,o0o,0O0 to s10,O0,OO0 and
the result is pretty closely computed by
competent engineers to be a certain re-
duction Of the present heavy death rate
by one-half. Several large concerns are in
the field for the contract.
The Central Methodist Conference of the
Methodist Church (South) is in session in
this city.
A grocer has returned to the archives
of the nation a lot of ancient documents
stolen by clerks now in prison for VIOLA

Great interest is manifested here in peat
exploration and the State Of Mexico has
authorized the town government control
ling peat beds to make contracts with
the companies desiring to work them.
Lake Xochimilco, near this city, contains
sufficient peat to make sixty million tons
of dry peat suitable for combustion.

FUSION TICKET REJECTED.
Good Government Clubs Of New York
Don't Like the P1attites.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The executive COM
mittee of the Good Government clubs issued
an address to-day setting forth it's reasons
il the committee of fifty had effected a
union on a non-partisan platform in support
of non-political candidates Ii would have
been acceptable to them. The address con-
tinues:
"The committee of fifty disregarding the
resolution under which it was appointed
bought from the leaders of the Republicans
of money and moral support, certain ad-
mirable judicial nominations. The other
places the ticket it conceded to party
spoils. So long as the honorable and
wealthy men of this city willing to lend
the weight of their names and the power
of their resources in an attempt TO pur-
chase government from the politicians we
shall have corrupt government by whatever
ment for the fusion ticket Is said to be the
choice of evils one which was used I'm 1880
to gain support for the Peoples Municipal
League, and because of which fifty thou
sand voters stayed away from the polls"
The report then says: THE people OF
this city cannot close their eyes to the fact
that the committee of fifty has made an al
lance with Platt. They remember that last
winter Platt's machine refused to grant US
police reform, defeated all efforts to. i'm
prove the public schools. derided and re-
pudiated the very principle of civil service
reform, which Republican representatives
had embodied in the Constitution OF the
State, and, rejecting simple and effective
to dsfranchse independent voters and facil-
itate bribery at the polls.
