was jammed TO suffocation. When the
verdict allowing the plaintiff $5,414.50
was read there was the greatest ex-
preston Of surprise, and most of the
faces in the room very distinctly
showed it.
The fair plaintiff, a young and at
tractive auburn-haired lady of twenty
five summers, could not withhold a be-
witching smile that played over her
face, while the husband never dis
played more happiness when pulling
in half buSheI of checks than he did

the defendants were very restless, and
Mr.. Ryan asked the court to send the
dozen men back until he could pro-
pound more heterogeneous to them,
but the sturdy judge refused. The
case will likely be appealed to the
higher court, but the verdict was
unanimous upon the first ballot, and
the result was reached in twenty min
utes. The jury was composed of men,
with but two exceptions. who had new
er entered a saloon, much less a gam

upon as a stamp against the vocation.

VERY TIGHT WAD.
Skating Race Between Johnson
and Ostrand Fiasco.

Skating Race Between johnson
and Ostrand u Fiasco.
Champion Skater Johnny Johnson
and his manager, the irrepressible
Tom Eek, are not as well thought of
in Minneapolis as they were at $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when
they vamoosed with the receipts of
the Normanna rink without giving any
equivalent for the coin. But this was
not their fault. A 1O000-meter race
between Johnson and Peter Oustland
the Norwegian flyer, was scheduled
for $3.50 o'clock, and about 1000 people
paid their good money to see it.
Shortly before the appointed hour
Oustland appeared on the track and
cut a few dashes. The ice was in mis-
cradle condition. and at the north end
of the circle was decidedly mushy
Oustland noted the unfavorable con-
ditions ard slid back to his dressing
room, where he announced that he
was not going to skate. Threats and
entreaties were unavailing, and the
Norskman sat suIl1ing in his room
while Johnson went forth to try the
ice. Johnson circled around time or
two and said the ice suited him first
rate. AS it was $50 O'Clock and Gust
land was not forthcoming, the crowd
got mad and yelled to Eek, demanding
their money back. Eek waved them
back and made a little speech. He
said:
Gentlemen: Johnny Johnson has
never disappointed a crowd and won
this time The other man won't come
out, but we are on the track and we
are going to start
Johnson was given the word and
slipped away from the crowd for the
first lap. The crowd Immediately
massed on the ice. and when Johnson
came around for the second lap he had
a hard time to get through the mob,
which was determined not to put up
with a one-man race. When he came
around the third time he made a des-
perate effort to break through, but it
was no Use.g In the pushing and SHOW
ing that enSued Johnson SluSged one
man full in the face. The crowd
-groaned and hooted and threatened
not to let the skaters out of the rink
until the money was refunded. john
son and Eek, however, managed to
escape, and the mana cement of the
rink issued tickets to the few who
hung around long enough good on the
day the race should come off.

NIPPED A REVOLT.
PLOT TO OVERTHROW THE CHI
NESE DYNASTY.
TWENTY-FIVE BEHEADED
For Participation in the Black
Flags RiOts-British Consul
Assaulted.

LONDON Feb. 23.-A dispatch to
the Times from Hong-Kong says
that additional restrictions have
been imposed upon the navigation of
the Canton river. The dispatch also
states that plot, far-reaching in its
purpose, to overthrow the dynasty,
has been discovered in Kwang-Tung,
Kwang-Si and other provinces of
Southern China. According to the
dispatch, H. NJ. S. Mercury has re-
turned from Formosa. During the
recent Black Flag riots, the British
consul at Takau was assaulted by
the natives. The Chinese authori-
ties, however, succeeded in quelling
the riots before the steamer Mer-
curry arrived. Twenty-Five of the
ring-leaders were beheaded, and all
is now quiet.

STUDENTS AND COPS FOUGHT.
Hot and Riotous Times in the
Czar7s City.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Details received
here indicate that the students who
caused so much trouble in the streets
of st. Petersburg yesterday wanted to
present a petition to the car. The pc
tition, it is claimed, was a protest
against the abolition of certain by,
laws governing provincial assemblies
During the march to the palace the
students stopped at the restaurants.
Here many became intoxicated. They
entered several theaters, jeered the
performers, and fought the attend
ants until foTcibly elected. They then
proceeded to the front of the Anti
chef palace, where they paraded,
hoping to attract the attention of the
car. The police finally stopped the
marching and countermarching. A
good-sized riot ensUed but the stu
dents were finally driven away. They
then went to a restaurant, but the
police had taken the precaution to or
der the proprietor to close the doors.
This enraged the students and they
forced the doors and windows,
smashed the furniture and destroyed
the viands They were finally elected
by the authorities.
This only enraged them the more
and general fighting followed. The
students attacked the police with
knives, stones and broken articles of
furniture They were severely han
died in return and at least twenty were
arrested.

Fitzsimmons and Politics.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Feb. 22.-Unless
all signs fail, Robert Fitzsimmons, the
worlds champion middleweight, win
never be tried for the murder of Con
Riordan. After his arrest he was adj
mitted to $4,000 bail, which was fur
nished by ''Yank" Sullivan, a promi-
nent local Democrat. To go into the
deal which will probably save the
pugiIist from a trial would be to re-
cite the political history of this city
for the last six months. In short,
politics has entered into the case, ana
an arrangement between Hill and
Cleveland Democrats and a few Re-
puDncans has been entered into, ana
certain men will be given offices on
condition that the Fitzsimmons case
be pigeonholed.

scented a six-round bout between Peter

and the 1000 spectators who were pres

was very tame, Maher forcing the
fighting in all but the fourth round,
and doing the most effective work
Throughout the contest Hall was OH
the defensive, and the GOODNESS with
which the men finished the sixth, and
what was expected to be the decisive
round when both men snlilingly walSed
to their corners, called forth Kisses
from the spectators. Maher was in
perfect fighting form at III pounds.
Hall was trim at 1912. Maher forced
Hall to the four corners of the ring and
made his object the heart of the Aus
tralian. At no time during the con-
test was there an indication Of finish
contest, but Maher showed his supe-
riority in leading and counter1ng.
Frank Keefe, of South Boston, and
Jake Donovan, of East Boston, opened
the entertainment with a siX-round
contest. Donovan knocked Keefe out
in 1:S0. Johnny Mccain and Mike
Doherty, of Boston, essayed an eight
round go, but the referee declared it
off in the third round. Jake Smith ana
Tom Doherty, both of Boston, fought
five rounds, Doherty winning by
Knockout in the fifth round. The
bout which called for the most ap-
plauge was a six-round go between
joe Lynch and jim Gallagher, of Bos-
ton, in which Gallagher stood up
against great odds until the close. The

der the auspices of the state legls-
IatI1re Yesterday was one OF the
most largely attended publication OF
the Dresent season. There were
about seventy-five members of the
legislature. twenty employees OF the
two houses and half a dozen repre-
santatives of the press. The rest of
the crowd. numbering about 500, was
lust rabble. OF course, there were
a great many. possibly 200, who were
invited by members Of the prison
board or legislature, but by far the
greater part was composed OF people
who had no other motive for attend
inc than the mere idle curiosity Of
staring at a lot of cOnvicts in cages,
because they could do it free of
cost.
It was expected that the junket
would be participated in by from
$50 to 200 persons, and ample ar
rangements had been made for TAX
ing care of this number, but the
Offices. stores and shops of the city
seem to have emptied their con-
tents of hired help for the occasion,
and the train was loaded to its ut
most capacity. The officials of the

E. w. Durant. J. c. Nethaway, Re-

Warden Wolfer, his deputies. clerk
and assistants. Managers O'Brien,

Chambers and the local friends of
the prison exerted themselves to the
utmost, and $50 persons were fed at
the prison, besides those who took
their meals in the city.
Too much cannot well be said in
praise of the management for the
tact and energy it eyinced in han
ding the unexpected crowd, and all
seemed to be favorabIy impressed
with the system and discipline of
the institution.
