PLENTY OF GOLD.
Bond Syndicate Estimates That II Will Hand
Over at Least $50, 100000

New York, Feb. 25.-In the allotment
of bonds by the Morgan Belmont syndi-
cate, bidders for $4,000 and under and
foreign exchange houses which ship gold,
were awarded the full amount of their
bids. Savings banks received 60 per cent.
of their bids, and Others 10 to 90 per cent
of the amount Of their subscriptions. The
syndicate is turning over to the sub treas.
ury all the gold received on account of
subscriptions, which is charged to the
syndicate account in the sub-treasury and
gold receipts issued therefor.
The government will consequently re-
ceive much larger amount of gold than
the sos 600, 600 for which the bbnds were
issued. One member of the syndicate
estimates that at least $50 600, 600 in gold
will have been deposited by the syndicate
before the contract with the government
is completed.

O'BRlEN WHIPS BINNEY.
The Colored Lad No Match for the Carney
Lewiston Middleweight.

Boston, Feb 25.--Dick O'Brien, the
Lewiston middlcweight, scored well
earned victory over Ed Binncy in II
rounds at the Charles Bank Athletic Club
meeting, Bumstcad hall, this evening.
Binney proved to the 800 members present
that his heart was all right and doubts as
to his gameness are removed He did
not appear to have the snap he had shown
on other occasions, nor did he seem to put
any force into his blows. In only two
rounds did he show up better than
O'Briep In those he did some very effec-
tive jabbins.
O'Brien appeared in better condition
than ever before in IA contest in this city.
He did not box as well as when he met
Billy Smith. Though Binney was taller
and had longer reach, D Brien seemed able
to land either hand when and where he
wished. Most of the times he got away
without return. Only occasionally did
Binncy counter him, but the blows did
not seem to affect O'Brien.
In the closing round O Brien went to
work as if determined to end the contest
then and there. After reaching Binney' S
wind and ribs with couple of stiff rights,
he shot right over on his jaw. The
blow landed in the right spot and
bewildered Binney. and O'Brien was
quick to see it. He followed it up in good
shape until the referee sent the men to
their corners and awarded the bout to
O'Brien.

Mr. Plummer said that there We're two
great schools OF medicine, the Allopathic
and Homeopathic. And the great mass
of people are beginning 60 come TO the
opinion that neither school holds the
monopoly of scientific medical truth L
am personally inclined TO think that the
truth lies more nearly with the new school

not vote to appropriate public money
which is raised by taxation from the
homeopathic as well as the Allopathist
TO the support of hospital that does not
have Homeopathic physician on its staff,
or at least one that will not allow one to
be called in by patients who desire that
treatment The resolves in favor of the
General hospital of Portland and Lewis

and it is settled for the next two years, at
least, that these hospitals will not have to
have Homeopathic physician on their
stats as i condition precedent to receiv-

hospital at Bangor in the same way you
do the hospitals Of Lewiston and Portland,

HORSES MUST BE TETHERED.
Tho City Council Monday after
noon passed An ordinance pro-
hibiting horses, mules and colts
from running at large upon the
streets of Alexandria. The ordi.
nance appears in another column,
to which the attention Of owners
of prohibited animals is specially
directed. While the COW cannot
kick with the same powerful and
deadly effects that the horse or
mule can, she is nevertheless, able
to inflict dangerous wounds, if not
death, with her horns and ought
| to be banished from the streets, in
common with horses, mules &C.
The Council also instructed the
City Marshal to enforce the dog
ordinance, which was in operation
last year. Hence, the owners Of
vicious CANNES, who permit then
to roam the streets, had better tag
them within the legal delay Of
contine them to their respective
kennels, ere the Marshal declares
war upon them.
