sion Reached.
by Southern Associated press


SEASIDE ATHLETIC OLuB, CoNEY
ISLAND, n. Y, January l9.-The
sporting fraternity from oil sections
of the country gathered here in
large numbers tonight to SEQ the
pugllistio contest between the
two greatest featherweights Of tho
world = Albert Critic, but known
as Young Critic. of Australia, and
George Dixon, of America, cham
plon featherweight of tho world
Both men have remarkable records
rs pugilists ami bitter feeling Of
rivalry has existed between them
ever since their twenty round draw
in Boston juno -, 1894.
The contest to night resulted in
another draw and Is described by
those who witnessed it aS one of tho
most scientific that hos even taken
place in this country.
Dlxons seconds we're Tom
O'Rourkc, Jack Havlin and Maurice
Kelly. Dixon weighed 1876 md
Critic claimed to weigh l29 pounds,
but he looked moro IA if 1t was 139
pounds. The seconds of Grillu
were Mike Dunn and Paddy Gur.
man, OF Australia, and Benny Muir.
phy, of England.
The men went promptly 10 work
as soon as they faced each other.
Both were full Of fight. but ex.
tremely scientific. and their wor k
was quick and sharp. Dixon was
over-anxious and forced the lighting
at tremendous pace. Critic was
cool and depended almost entirely
on his clever ducking and straight
left handed punches.
1t was "A beautiful exhibition Of
scientific boxing by two Of the clev
crest eXponents Of the prize RUG IN
the country. With all their fierce
fighting, neither mau succeeded IN
drawing blood, and the only indica
ton of fight was Dixou's pulled
and swollen eyes from Critics left
hand punches.
There was not mark on Critic to
show the effects of his punishment,
although Dixon hit fully five times
to his ouce in the twenty fourth
round. DiZon's cheeks were badly
swollen and bruised.
In tbs twenty fifth and last round
Dixon was desperate, and he fought
like tiger, doing nearly all the
leading, but he could not knock the
triumphant smile off Griifo's lace.
The Australian only hut n few left
handed blows III this round, as he
was on the defensive, ami spent his
time IN avoiding punishment. The
crowd was Wild with excitement
when the round ended, some calling
Tor Critic and others for Dixon.
When the referee decided the
contest draw there was general
cheer OF approval, as it was tho only
decision that could be given under
the circumstances.

Thompson, Jan. 2S.--Another days search for the bodies of the murdered wife and child of Storwesjci was fail ure to-day so far as finding the bodies was concerned. Captain Hillhouse and State Attorney Hunt were here to-day from Willimantic and pursued the search all day. This afternoon State Attorney Hunt called pr. Wolfe, the noted medical-legal expert of Hartford, to the town and had the physician make an examination of the blood stains on the walls in the farm house. Dr. Wolfe determined that the blood was that of a human being. The theory that the bodies are in the pond is los- ing ground with the people here, who believe that the murderer has either hidden or buried the bodies somewhere in the woods. The townspeople are urg- ing the selectmen to offer reward for the recovery of the bodies, but the town authorities have not yet taken any action in the matter If the search CTS fail to find the bodies tomorrow search will be made through the woods, where it is now supposed that the bod les are hidden.

Since Paine's celery compound was first prescribed some years ago by Prof. Phelps and his followers, thou sands of clear thinking, busy practi- tioners, to restore strength and build up weakened nerves,-during this long interval of years there have been countless men and women made per manently we'll and strong by taking it..
 During all these years every mail has without exception brought some mes sage from one of the countless homes where sickness had been banished and anxiety for some dear member dispelled by the employment of this most re- markable blood and tissue restorative the world has yet enjoyed.
 Paine's celery compound positively and permanently cures nervous debility and exhaustion. Neuralgia, sleepless- ness, .melancholia, hysteria, and head aches very soon yield to it's refreshing properties, all these troubles are directly traceable to the one cause, poorness of the blood and poorness of the nervous tissues.

THE CALEDoNIAN CLUES THEN
 g,Y-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.

A Beautiful Tribute to the Memory of

 Striking Genius.
 Following is given entire the very felicitous and eloquent address by Hon. I.ynde Harrison at the celepra- +;on nv the Caledonian club Of its twenty-ffth anniversary, last Friday night:
 Mr Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
 New Haven Caledonian Club
 Permit me to congratulate you on +his occasion. which celebrates the +wenty-fifth anniversary of your oo- servance to the memory of the great noet of Scotlands people. Burns mas never lacked appreciation by the sons of Caledonia since that day one hun dred and eight years ago when he dedl- cated the first Edinburgh edition Of his poems to the gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt, in the following words. which show he was a master Inf the English language in prose as well as in meter.
 "A Scottish bard, proud of the name, and whose highest ambition is to sing
 
 he so properly look for patronage as +o the illustrious names of his native land; those who bear the honors and inherit the virtues of their ancestors? The poetic genius of my country found me as the prophetic bard Elijah did Elisha-at the plough, and threw her inspiring mantle over me. She bade me sing the loves, the joys, the rural scenes
 ,,1D nf in my native tongue. I turned my wild, artless notes, as she inspired. She whispered me to come to this ancient metropolis of Caledonia, and lay my songs under your honored protection. I now obey her dictates. Though much indebted to your goodness, I do not approach you, my lords and gentle men, in the usual style of dedication, to thank you for past favors; that hath is so hackneyed by prostituted learning, that honest rusticity is ashamed of it. Nor do I present this address with the venal soul of a servile author, looking for a continuation of those favors. I was bred to the plough, and am independent. come to claim the common Scottish name with you, my illustrious countrymen, and to tell the WOrlQ LIdL SlOly III IHe lIlle. l come to congratulate my country, that the blood of her ancient heroes still runs uncontaminated and that from your courage, knowledge, and public spirit, she may expect protection, wealth and liberty. In the last place, I come to proffer my warmest wishes to the great fountain of honor, the Monarch of the universe, for your well fare and happiness
 'When you go forth to waken the echoes, in the ancient and favorite amusement of your forefathers may pleasure ever be of your party; and may social joy await your return. When harassed in courts or camps with the jostIings of bad men and bad measures, may the honest conscious ness of injured worth attend your re- turn to your native seats; and may domestic happiness, with a smiling vel

The physicians of large practice who are now in the habit of daily employ ing this remedy say that no invigora- tor has anything like the power of Prof. Phelps great preparation, Paine's celery compound.
 MT. Levi Campbell of Danby, Vt, whose portrait Is printed above, had the usual experience. Last year when the sugaring season in that state open ed in February Git is a great industry in Vermont he was not in good health. He was troubled with headaches-bad ones. He procured a single bottle of Paine's celery compound. T began taking it." he says, "and felt better at once" His appetite returned. He stopped taking the compound. He worked hard and successfully. He overdid himself and at the end of the season began to be troubled again. He again took Paine's celery compound, and this time earnestly. Two bottles made him a well man and permanently cured him. As in a thousand of other cases in and out of New England Paine's celery compound made him a new man.

A Fresh Attack Was Made on the Market at
 the Start.

A Fresh Attack Was Made on the Market at the Start.
 | New York, Jan. 2S.-A fresh attack was made on the stock market at the start on the heavy withdrawals of gold from the sub-treasury and the engage ment of $4,5OOOOO for shipment to Flu rope on the Lahn and Majestic. The early loss in prices ranged from 4 to 1% per cent, Lead and New Jersey Central being the greatest sufferers. An advance in the posted rates of ster- ling exchange of E cent to $4.S91s and $4901a, and selling of securities for for eign accounts also operated against the market at this time.
 Subsequently steadier tone prevail ed, and just previous to the publication of the presidents message on the treas ury situation the whole list moved up rapidly under covering for the account of professional operators who expected sharp rally to follow the presidents recommendations. The movement ranged from 1s to IFS per cent, Lead again having been feature. The presidents message was we'll re- ceived and generally commended in financial circles, but there was dispo- sition to disapprove of the recommends ton for small silver notes. Later on advices from Washington were to the effect that the presidents suggestions would not receive immediate attention, and that the silver men would fight the gold bond issue. At the same time call money shot up to per cent. This lead to renewed liquidations and in the last hour of business the market was heavy. General Electric dropped 3% to 299s, Lead 1as to 2794 Q2S%, Chicago Gas 1A to 71Ss, Lackawanna ? to 15S1a, Lake Shore 11a to 1S7, Jersey Central 1% to S6A, Southern Railway preferred 21s to 301s, Louisville and Nashville B to 521h, Missouri Pacific 1ss to 201a and Tennes- see Coal 1K to IA.
 Speculation closed weak at prices about the lowest for the day. Net changes show declines of A to 3M per cent, General Electric leading. Big Four, Manhattan, Reading, and Pacific Mail rose 4 to # per cent. In the in- active list Great Northern preferred dropped 3 to 100.
 The advance in money is by no means an unmixed evil. as in normal times it has tendency to weaken sterling exchange and thus check the effiux of gold.
 The bond market was weak. The sales were $1,198 900.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whiteiy, bankers and brokers. 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven:
