American Loan and Trust company in its

consent shelved in the hearing. Another
was an intervening petition in the Dillon
suit and Judge Gilbert and Judge Belling-
er handed down their opinion yesterday.
The other was the suit in which Egan
was appointed The appointment was a
great surprise, following so closely upon
the opinion of yesterday. which was con-
sdered adverse to the American Loan and
Trust company. 1t did not become gen
orally known until today that such an

AMONG THE RAILWAYS
W. II. Ro!abird TO Manage the Chino
Valley Railway
A Surc Indication That a Big Boom is Coming
Oregon Short Line
Receiver

The boom has come again. The song
of the brass band and the tap of the ham,
mer on the lot stake will be heard again
in the land and the real estate auctionecr
will have to put his voice in training to
descant on the values of corner lots and
subdivisions.
For w. II. Holdbrd, the man who in
1886 created boom in four counties is
AGAIN in harness and coniidentially told a
Herald reporter that the last boom was
not a marker to the one which is arriv-
ing. "There are more millionaires look
ing for Southern California land invest
ments than ever before he said, "and
the business which will be done the COM
ing season will be unparalleled. "
This talk OF Mr.. Hola abird's is put
among the railroad news because he has
been appointed general manager of the
Chino Valley Railway, which while, not a
trunk line. under his able direction will
be of some importance in the railway
world, and it is likely will be transferred
into feeder for the Santa Fe. Mr..
Holabird is one Of the right hand men OF
the Santa Fe company and is sure to be
in sympathy with the policy OF that COM

JOE CHOYHSKI and CREEDON
A Hammer and Tongs Fight,
But No Decision Given

Nearly All the Way
Some Hct Work Done In the Third Round.
Jim Barry Knocks Out Bertrand.
Great Sport Put Up

CHICAGO. March 2l.-The six-round
match between Joe Choynski and Dan
Creedon was a draw, no decision being
given by the referee. The conditions pro-
vided that if both men were on their feet
at the conclusion OF the sixth round, no
decision would be given. Choynski had
all the best OF 1t, except in one round.
He knocked Creedon down twice,
brought the blood in stream from his
nose, and had his man very tired and
groggy when the sixth round closed.
Cnoynsl;i weighed l6l pounds and, al
though Creedon's s weight was not given,
he looked to weigh fully as much.
In the first round Choynski landed hard
on Crcedon' S head and got a hot one on
the body in return. Several exchanges
followed, but no heavy blows were struck.
The second round was Choynsti's, he
doing all the leading a landing frequent
ly with his left on Creedon s head and
face. He drew first blood with a wicked
drive on the nose and had Creedon badly
winded when the gong sounded.
Creedon had the best of it in the third,
getting in several hot blows and driving
Choynski into the ropes with blow over
the kidney as Choynskl rose from duck.
In the fourth Creedon reached Choyn-
skis wind several times, but the latter
kept poking his left into Creedon's face
with persistence that seemed to demor-
alize the latter. Both were tired at the
close.
In the fifth Choynslli landed his left
on Creedon's $ head and sent him to the
floor. Dan coming down as hard as
though he had fail n off a three-story
building.
In the last round it was hammer and
tones, with Choynski doing all the ham
mering. He drove right and left into
Creedons s face and finally gave him a
smash that laid him fiat. Creedon clinch-
ed repeatedly to save himself and was a
very weary man when the round closed
He did not look able to go two rounds
more.
Jimmy Barry of Chicago, the 1o5-pound
champion, practically knocked out Joe
Bertrand of California in a six-round
contest before the fight of the evening
came off. Bertrand was knocked down a
dozen times and was not able to stand in
the sixth round, the fighting being stop
ped to save a knockout.

THE NUDE IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK SUN

A woman model was engaged at the
Casino in the Nahl Bradley representation
of bronze statuary for the first time last
night. OF the dozen different showings
in the entire list she appeared in three.
In two of these it needed the sharpest
eyes to detect the fact that a woman was
posing, So thoroughly did the complete
coat of brassy bronze disguise the models
features.
With the entire skin thus coated
there was not single semblance of life
in the coloring, and as the eyes were kept
closed, there was but little chance of ex-
preston on the face. The woman's first
pose was entitled "Hygeia " and in it
only her face and arms were barred. Her
wig was large and covered her forehead
to an extent that shaded her face consid-
erably, and with its tightly closed lids it
might have been mans for all the
difference it would have made to ordi-
arily endowed observers. Her third rep
resentation was of the statue of Lib
erty," and she and she held aloft an elec-
tric light that was garbed in the drapery
of that figure. Again the features and
figure were lacking in femininity,
though the nearby light illumined every
she had man for a companion, and the
groud the two made was announced in
letters of light by the calcium lamp as
"Hagar and Ishmael" The man was
lying upon the ground while the woman
knelt ,ver him. The upper portion of
her body was covered only by scarf that
passed from one shoulder to the opposite
hip, and it's dimensions were SO slight
that there was left no need of glancing at
the face above to determine the sex of the
model. When it is remembered that
there were no feshings worn, it could
seem to the reader that the display must
have been disgraceful in the highest de-
gree, but the TACT remains that it was not
to be compared to the displays commonly
made in living pictures, because of the
substitution of metallic colors for flesh
tints The only suggestion of life came
in the inevitable unsteadiness of the
model. The fact that nearly naked wo-
man was posed. however, impressed itself
upon the audience by the time the curtain
again hid the group. and there were loud
calls for another look at her, the demon
stration over this group going away ahead
of that accorded to any OF the other repre-
sentatons.

PROFITABLE TROUSERS

An amusing story is told in the
Rochester Union OF Old John Langley,
the veteran Worcester horseman, by the
Gazette of that city: One day he called
at the store of tailor and stated in
his usual loud and emphatic way
for his conversation was always literally
favored with the tabasco of profanity
that he wanted pair of breeches, and |
want the best stuff in the store, no mat
ter what the color. The tailor was a
little bewldered, but finally showed Lang
ley the most costly material in the shop
a beautiful silky broadcloth. That this
was unsuitable for trousers made no diff
ference to him. 81 want it, - said he,
land | want it made up wrong side out. "
The tailor eXpostulated in vain. and the
trousers were made and delivered. A
friend called on Langley and remarked on
the trousers in uncomplimentary Ian
guage. Langley said he was satisfied.
More guying resulted in the old man offer
ing to bet S25 that the cloth cost more a
yard than that in his friends trousers
The bet was taken and the tailor was to
decide it. He named the price. The
friend would not believe that the rough
goods could be so costly until he was
shown the shiny. silky other side. Then
he paid, as did other men on similar BETS
That was what the old man had bought
the trousers for.

A New Scandal Crops Up in Congressional


A New Scandal Crops Up in Congressional
Circles
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Since Sec
retary Morton has been at the head OF the
Agricultural Department he has opposed
the present method of seed distribution
through Congressional agencies. He does
not believe that the money expended in
this way is productive OF the good that
could be derived from other methods
which he has recommended, and which
would be less costly to the Government.
3 1t has been represented to the Secretary
unat members OF Congress- have disposed
OF their quotas of seed in way not CON
templated by the law and he recently took
steps to ascertain the truth OF the state
ments. At his direction the agent OF the
seed department negotiated or the pur-
chase or a members share and the former
soon brought to the secretary the written
order of a member for fully rs per cent
OF his annual quota which was offered for
sale at $75. The purchase was made and
the agent gave hls check for the money,
which was endorsed by the member and
is now in the Secretary's possession.
Secretary Morton also says he could
have recently purchased from second
hand book dealer in this city the quota
allowed to three members OF congress for
$3.50 each. Besides these he says he has
the names OF probably a hundred men,
bers of congress who have given orders for
the transfer of their entire quotas of seed
or great portion of them to other
parties. Some Of them are porbably in
exchange for patent office reports and
other government publications, according
to the constituency OF the respective MEM
bers. He will print all of these names in
his next annual report in order that the
practice prevailing may be shown to the
public The last agricultural appropria-
ton bill provides for $50, 900 for seed dis
trbution for the fiscal year 1886. $40, 600
of which is to pay the expenses incident

Notwithstanding the Secretary suggests
that only 500 be allotted to each OF the
