Scores of the older residents Of this
city, and particularly the older attor-
neys, greatly regretted to learn, yester-
day, Of the terrible fate which befell
John N. Chandler, Of st. Louis, Tuesday
afternoon.
4 telegram from St. Louis says:
John N. Chandler, aged so, a lead
ing attorney of this city, was instantly
killed Tuesday afternoon by falling
down the elevator shaft Of the Security
building. He fell head foremost from
the seventh floor to the first and struck
on his head and shoulders.
Mr.. Chandler has been practicing law
in St. Louis with distinguished success
for % years. Before coming here he
was located at Wheeling, w. Va, and
was then the attorney Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company. Nine
years ago he was appointed the attor-
ney for the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Company for St.
Louis. The deceased leaves a widow,
formerly a Miss Barber, of Sandusky
Ohio, and several children"
Mr.. Chandler embarked in the pro
fession of law in this city during the
sixties, and became a partner OF the
late George 0. Davenport. He left
Wheeling about 1869 for st. Louis, and
has since remained in that city. His
general ability, his deep knowledge Of
the law, and his oratorical gift at once
secured for HIM the foemost position in
the profession of his adopted city, and
his fame is by no means confined TO the
limits of the Western Metropolis.
Deputy Clerk John Walton studied
law under the deceased, in the Office OF
Chandler & Davenport, from 1867 to
1869. and Judge Melvin, Judge LETTERS,
J. P. Rogers. /. F. Jones, J. d. Ewing,
and number of other local attorneys
remember the deceased as a man Of eX-
ceptonal qualities, and learned Of his
death with profound regret.

Wheeling and Cyrene Communities Left
Sam. Yesterday.
Yesterday morning at 7:90 o'clock
the Sir Knights of Wheeling and
Cyrene Communicates Of this city,
headed by the Opera House and May
er's bands, left the Masonic Temple and
pmaded to the B. & o. depot, where a
special train had been engaged to
transport the Communicates to the
State Encampment at FairmOnt, to
convene at noon. About seventy
Knights from the two Communicates
were in line, and with the bands and 4
number of Masonic and other friends,
the total number on board the train
was brought up to one hundred and
fifteen. The pilgrims were accompa-
MED by Division Passenger Agent E.
ID. Smith, Capt John T. Lane and
Ticket Agent Thomas c. Burke. who
looked after the comfort Of the eXcur-
siOnists. The train pulled out at s
o'clock, and made the run to Fairmont
i'm two hours and ten minutes. Agent
Burke returned last evening and re-
ported the trip most pleasant one for
an on board, and that the Wheeling
Knights were accorded a royal welcome
by the FairmOnt Commandery. The
Wheeling communicates are due to re-
turn this evening, but whether they
will come on a regular or special
train had not been definitely deter
mined last evening.
The local Communicates made a fine
appearance on the streets yesterday
morning, and must have well main
tanned their reputation for fine march
ing in the parade at Fairmont yester-
day afternoon.

I trained young fellow from Philadel-
phia, Jim Weeden by name, to fight an
other young fellow from that town, named
Philip Caster, who was known as Philip
Walker. They were pair of as game well
terweights as ever stepped into ring.
The fight took. place at PENIS Grove, N.
j., something over twenty years ago.
The men were about twcuty-four years
old. Billy Madden and Sam Collier Were
Walkers seconds, and Butt Riley was
his bottle-holder. Johnny Clark, Spring
Dick, and myself were in Weeden's corner.

''After tile men had been in the ring
an hour and three-quarters, Weeden hit
Walker u hard blow and he fell heavily.
When he went down his head struck
with such force that he became uncon-
scious. We picked him up and made him
as comfortable as we could. We then
started for Philadelphia, hut Walker died
on board the tug before we reached that
city.
walker had been very ambitious to
become a great pugilist. He was conf

before the fight remarked to a party of
friends: Wen have beer or funeral to-

more mills than one. and having talked TO
and photographed them in various positions
with a careful ear to their tricks and STRAIT
egies of war.
Fitzsimmons was born in England thirty
three years ago, going to New Zealand
with his parents when a child. He was
brought up to the blacksmith trade, lsav-
ing ii only at such times as he had
match on; when he had whipped his man
he got back to the forge, thus keeping
always in hardened condition. FitZ comes
of a gaunt hardy, iong-lived stock, SO
that now at thirty-three-a time that is
usually accounted pretty well along in
pugilistic old age-he is as nimble, trim
in physique and full OF boxing freshness
as a twenty-year old. He sho ws this spirit
to-day as much as ever; he is full OF tricks
of the skyiarking order, always ready to
tap and feint and jump about his IA
miiiars Every day for years he has had
exercise In this manner, and by punching
the flying bag, whether there was match
to prepare for or not His mind is always
on the one thing, aud he has the will
power to make his body live up to its
dictates.
The great bgh ting points that have
been brought to the front in Fitzsim-
mons battles are unprecedented knock
out hitting. feinting and a lightning, er-
ratio leg movement which gives him an
appearance of grotesqueness. To one
looking down from the gallery his aziDg
swiftness in play about twenty-four-
foot ring has the appearance of the shadow
of some gigantic lowering bird; in glide
he looks to cover the length of the ring.
In the art OF feinting or pretense. Fitz-
simmons is not equaied by any fighter in the
ring His opponents are mixed to know
what he is going to do next, and it is from
this more than from anything else, that
he is called eccentric He has made or
feinting such a study, has brought 1t to
such perfection in various ways, that, in
close connection with his fierce hitting, it
may be looked on as the foundation of his
pbepomcnaliy quick successes in the ring.
The Knockout hitter must have an open
runway for his blow; he must not have half
its force stopped by the opponents arm;
Fitz is an adept in getting that opening and
when it occurs his crooked arm work, his
side jabs and uppercuts-are murderous.
It is q maxim of the boxing arena that
the contestant who knocks out quickly is
liable to get knocked out quickly, thefeason
being that in order to hit with extra force,

orhim, vet came TO the ropes Two and one
half pounds lower
As has been noted, FitZsimmons is q
wonder in the way of Knockout hitting,
vet, il he and Corbett were to measure
their stri king strength by test, on
registering machine, 1t Is very probable
that Corbett would equal or out-Iit him,
which is trifle paradoxical to the un-
initiated. Fitzsimmons, in the ring,
lets fly his powerful batteries at every
opening. holding nothing In reserve;
Corbett keeps half the force of his blow
home, to take care of himself. The first
goes in head and heels; the second goes in
only as far, as he can get back safely.
Fitz deals in one-punch knockouts; Corbets
never unless his man has been jabbed TIL
he is too weak to throw quick and
dangerous counter, or unless he is no good,
as in the case of Charley Mitchell. This
reminds one of the maxim before referred
to-namely, that the dashing single-punch
fellow not infrequently goes out on the
same route. But it has been stated also,
however, that Fitzsimmons holds himself
more safely thar. any other fighter that
ever used such heroic measures, and that
because of his marvellous feintng and quick
ness.
The big Californian is a student OF safe
fighting; it bas been this study for many
years. As q follower of scientific milling,
to the incest reasoning, the ring never had
the equal of Cerbed in 81 big a man; he
believes In seeing his way, and he wiz not
leave his fortifHations till be does.
He once said to me: when / get In

leg feinting to bother an opponent was first
shown to American glove fighters by
Peter Jackson. ON this style Fitz has i'm

with Fitzsimmons' punch killing Is his

THE CHIPMUNK.
Something About This Pretty Little
DweIler in the Woods.

Have you ever watched the antics Of the
ground squirrels in summer? The name

fellows gather up for their winter food.
Imagine yourself saying every time You see
one of these little fellows darting along the

The last name comes from the Greek,
ska, shade, and oura, n tail, which de-
scribes pretty well the way in which a
squirrel carries his tail shading his head.
But the Indian name, chipmunk, seems TO
suit him much better.
His long front teeth are well adapted TO

Just when the leaf falls, you see him stop
and fill his cheeks with the green horse
chestnuts, and then, as it seems to you,
with his mouth too full for comfort, he
hurries home just as ninbly as he came,
over his elevated road, jumping sometimes
over a space between the branches, two or
three feet in width.

PERFECTION OF MINT JULEPs
Drink That Makes a Man Thankful
That He LIS Alive.

Marylander and an Alabamian cannot
argue on the subject of mint juleps without
coming to blows-that is, of course, If both
are patriotic sons of their respective States.
Both States claim the origin of the mint
julep. Neither Georgia, Kentucky nor Ten
nessee has yielded its claim to the invention,
but the sons of those straigbtgoods States
never come to blows in the discussion.
/ am OF the opinion, says writer in the
New York Press, that the mint julep was
Persian invention. Fine mint grows in that
country, and from the earliest ages the
julep was known as vehicle for taking
medicine. The Greeks also knew the julep,
and handed it down to'the French and tho
Spanish. Whisky was not used in the mix
ture. however, utstrong spirituous liquors
of other kinds. As to the best modern julep,
there are various opinions. 1t is not to be
had for love or money, or political fnflu-
encc, in this city's public bars
Only a native OF one of the rock-bottomed
Southern States can make it to perfection.
Now is the time for it. The mint is in Its
tenderest age. The Greeks bruised their
mint. We never think of doing that over
here BY .'we" 1 mean those of us who
know what julep is. We steep bunch Of
the freshest mint in glass OF whisky and
brandy. in equal portions, for four hours.
This extracts the flavor of the mint without>
the bitter quality that spoils Julep. iii
silver pitcher with cracked ice next, we say,
pour in the whisky and brandy, with a little
water, and send to your friends. When
fine frost settles upon the outside OF the
pitcher the julep is ripe. But dozen sprigs
of fresh mint in glass and pack well with
cracked ice. Over the top sprinkle pulvr-
lied sugar to the taste, then slowly pour
from the pitcher until the glass In filled and
the sugar dissolved. Then-drink. Bury
your nose In the mint till the delightfully."-
cool scent goes away down IN YOUR toes.
AFTER one or two of these you VIII thank tue
Lord that you are alive. There are Other
juleps, but this is ''the julep''
