Mrs Hickman Mas Too InuuiSifiyc.

MILESTONE, J.. J.. oct. 2.-Mrs.
Hickman, wife Of Constable Richard
Hickman, of this village. went about in
the house all day Sunday, unable TO DO
her household work or get meals for her
family, and retired at night without
making the customary preparations, be-
cause she was handcuifed and thus rem
dered helpless.
Constable Hickman purchased new
and improved pair of handouts "a few
days ago. When he left home Sunday
morning to 20 to the city on business,
he left the handouts or the bureau in
his room.
Mrs. Hickman spled the glimmering In
struments shortly after he had gone,
and picked them up to examine them.
She slipped one Of them over one Of
her wrists. and soon encircled the other
wrist with the other cuff. The cuffs
are frightened with q ratche, arrange

Gus TO learn how the things worked
frightened them. She afterwards en-
deavored to take them OFF, but could
not. They were locked.
She called a child in from the stree,
and sent for neighbor. who she thought
would know how to open the hand
cuffs. He told her they could not be
opened without the key, and she would
be obliged TO wal, until her husband
returned home.
When Mr.. Hickman returned from the

emigration TO Virginia, and this Is now
confirmed by DR.. Lyon TyIers researches
In the records OF Westmoreland, In that

A D,atl BLOW 10 Pugjllsm

The inability Of the wealthy managers
OF the Florida Athletic Club to find a
lawful battle-ground for the Corbett-
Fitzsmmons prize-hght is proof positive
that professional pugilism has received its
death-blow in this country.
Public sentiment is against these ex-
hibitions, not alone because OF their
brutality. but by reason of the thugs
and rowdies which make up the greater
part of the people who support them.
No respectable community cares TO be
invaded by such an element.
Boxing. as it is practiced at our ANA
teur athletic clubs, must not be con-
founded with the work OF the prize
fighter. Science and skill with the pad
ded glove is 20 be encouraged. The
amateur finds exercise and pleasure in
the art Of boxing, while the professional
pursues puglism for livelihood.

country-and the sooner the professional
bruiser learns to carry the hod or break
stones, the better II Will be for tho COM

would have a fair trial in the Mediter-

doubtless be greatly handicapped by the
