JUDGE WARNS THE CHIEF.
Prize Fight Must Be Prevented in New
Jersey or There VIII Be Trouble.

Jersey City, October 7.-Chief OF Police
Mcneil, was this afternoon, summoned
to the court room by Judge Hudspeth,
who said that his attention had been
called to rumors of prize fight tonight
at Constable Hook. He said it was a
crime to participate in prize fight in
this state. "The COURT he said, "calls
upon you to prevent this fight. A license
for this exhibition was secured from the
common council by trick. If you have
not force enough to stop the fight, call
upon the prosecutor and the sheriff will
see the law is not violated -
The Chief replied that he would not
allow the law to be violated, and would
have all his men on hand at the show.
He said they never intended to allow the
Griffo- Lavigne fight to take place. The
other bouts, he said, were not prize fights
and would not be interferred with.
Judge Hudspeth again warned Mr. Nc,
Neil to preserve the law and said: If
this fight is allowed to take place, or be-
gin, you will be held responsible. I"

vitations from Atlanta and Boston to
hold the next triennial convention at
those cities was presented to the house OF
deputies this morning and referred to a
committee on locations.
The question of printing the Bishops
pastoral letter of 1894, in the journal,
evoked considerable discussion and par
liamentary sparring. The whole matter
was finally laid on the table.
The resolution presented Saturday,
providing that any diocese may set apart
a portion of it's territory as mission,
was discussed by Mr.. Alsop of Long
Island. He objected to the amendment
on tho ground that it would invite
dioceses to throw off outlaying and more
troublesome districts and greatly increase
the work OF the missionary board.
Dean Gardner of Omaha, took issue
with him in stating that he did not be-
lieye such action would be taken, except
where it was necessary. A motion TO lay
on the table was lost. A motion to refer
to the revision committee was presented
by DR. McVicker of New York, but before
the vote was taken Dean Hoffman moved
the order of the day, which was the re-
port of the revision committee;
The house then went into the cominlt-
tee of the whole.

MORE TROUBLE FOR CUBA.
Terrible Flood in the Tobacco District
and Great Loss of Life.

Havana, October 7.-Further details
have teen received of loss and damage
caused by the heavy rains OF September
80, Several localities in the Vyelta AbaJo,
the great tobacco growing districts were
inundated and it is known that 81 per-
sons were drowned. 1t Is feared this
number may be increased when the re-
mote hamlets are heard from. The rail-
roads in the district are heavy losers from
the flood. Several bridges were carried
away and the tracks in many places
washed away. Many houses are destroyed
and large fields of tobacco completely
ruined by the torrents OF water that
poured over them. There is much suffer-
ing in the district. The government
has decided to extend aid to the victims
of the flood and has setsside S5o0O Tor this
purpose. In addition to this: one days
civil or military pay will be allowed each
of the sufferers.

THE LATEST IN STRIKES.
A Novel Condition Existing in a Fall River
Mill.

Fall River October IA novel sort of
strike is on at Merchants mills and bids
fair to be prolonged. A young man who
has worked about sizing machines for
three years was given machine to run
on his own account about q month ago
In four or five days the other men
decided not to labor with him, because
he was not a member of the union. The
mill authorities to avoid trouble, con-
sented to wait until the learners name
was acted on by the union. Before action
was taken the machines production was
needed, and ho went on operating it. The
strike resulted, by order of the Slasher
Tenders Union, five men left work.
Their places were filled by men from
New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
Saturday one new man was induced TO
leave the place, and the vacancy was soon
filed Today two slasher tenders in No
3 mill were called out, and although no
trouble existed there, the union sought-to
influence the authorities in this manner.
The vacancies were filed this afternoon.
Tonight meeting will be held for the
purpose of ordering still further the
spread of the sympathetic strike. The
manufacturers are in arms against these
measures, which are by far the most
arbitrary ever known in the history. of
labor disputes here. They have given
Agent Borden to understand he will be
given every assistance in the power OF
the association. The slasher tenders are
equally firm, and say they will soon have
weayers on the streets because poor warps
are now being furnished.
The Slasher Tenders Union held a
special meeting tonight and voted to
assess each member 25 cents each to sup
port the men idle through the strike at
the Merchants.

The eCorbett-Fitzsimmons Fight Will Not

Washington, October 7.-Attorney
General Harmon, today, reiterated his
statement made last week, that the
Corbett- T Fitzsimmons fight will not come
off on any ground over which the United
States has jurisdiction. The talk that
the Six Nations" or other Indians have
exclusive jurisdiction over their reserva-
tions OF country, ana that by adopting
the prize fighters as members of the
tribe, they can thus put them outside tho
pale of Federal Jurisdiction, is regarded
in Federal Legal circles here, as
simply nonsense. without basis OF fact
The further contention that there is any
ground within the boundaries of the
United States, over which some state or
the United States has not Jurisdiction,
is regarded as equally absurd.

order to help sell its wares. gives an IN
surance policy with each pair of shoes
n1rchased The shoes are numbered, and
when you buy pair you receive q policy
nun bered to correspond with the shoes.
The policy is issued by the New England
Mutual Accident Association of Boston
and is a contract to pay to the holder OF
his heirs 800 in the case of the loss of an
eve. hand or foot or of death by accident
during period of ninety days. A local
shoe dealer has been advertising the IN
surance Shoes but now there is an
obstacle in the way of this method OF do
ing business The state insurance depart
ment has taken the ground that when a
shoe dealer advertises to give an insur-
ance policy with his wares, he becomes
an insurance agent, and cannot do busl-
ness unless he is duly licensed. The
department is now in correspondence
with the parties interested in the plan.
The company is one regularly authorized
to do insurance in Maine and it may have
it's shoe dealing agents licensed by paying
the required fee of two dollars each for
them. Otherwise the sale Of the sh oes
must be made without the help of the
policies. How many shoe dealers would
care to become insurance agents in order
to sell the INSURANCE shoes" remains to
be seen. The new plan Of advertising
foot gear by insurance is certainly s
novel one.
The railroad commissioners neld short
session here this afternoon and approved
