That gentleman characterized it as
the twin brother for a law that i'm
poses an annual license fee for drug
gists. Mr.. Underwood proposed an
amendment to the effect that the fees
be paid into the state treasury This
amendment was lost after a long
debate on the merits of the bill, and
the bill was indefinitely postponed
Mr.. Johns moved to place all senate
bills at the foot of general orders, and
spoke in support of the motion as
retaliatory measure, because he claimed
the house bills had not all been passed
in the senate, and no feared house bills
would be tied up near the end of the
session.
Edr. Staples moved to amend the mo-
ton so as to provide that progress be
reported upon number of senate files.
speaker Van SAINT, Mr. Gibbs and 9TH

amendment was lost and the original
notion was withdrawn by Mr.. Johns
after being informed that it was an
Gnwise movement
The following senate bills were rec
commended to pass: 50, 325, 29O, 144 and

not nearly completed when the house

His Frantic Denunciation of a
Church Sale Was Useless.

New YORK. March lin spite of
the remark OF Rev. DR.. Parkhurst from
the pulpit yesterday that the proposed
sale of the Church of the Sea and Land
by the presbytery, after it had been
promised to the Madison Square Pres,
byterian church for mission purposes,
was deliberate, cold blooded violation
of solemn contract and an act which.
if committed i'll Wall street, would have
furnished the members of the presby-
terry with juicy meat for homileticaI ex-
ploitation. The presbytery today voted
the sale of the church. As it was intro
duced, the resolution directing the sale
quoted the words of DR.. Parkhurst given
above in way TO imply censure by the
presDyterY, but it was amended with
the consent of the mover after DR.. Null
laly had urged that the preamble be al
lowed to remain. DR.. Mullaly's remarks
caused considerable laughter among the
members. and the speaker became very
angry. Turning around to the other
members, he said:

this laughter is unnatural"

OLYMPIC CLUB WINS,
Pugilists May Indulge In Prize
Fights in New Orleans.

Fights in New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, March lin the
the state against the Olympic club the
decision was in favor of the club on
points in controversy. Glove contests
will therefore be permitted as hereto
fore.
Judge RICHTER has had the case for a.
long time under trial and considera-
ton. The case was Tor a forfeiture of
the Olympic clubs charter growing
out Of the prize fights which took
place within it's arena. Attorney Cen
eral Cunningham averred that these
contests or prize fights Were not of the
character of exhibition contem-
plated by the law permitting glove con-
tests.
The case had been tried once before
him and decided in favor Of the club
On an appeal to the supreme court it
was sent back to Judge RICHTER for
another trial. This morning the judge
decided the case wholly in favor of the
club. Under the decision the club can
continue glove fights without interfer-
ence.
The decision handed down by Judge
RICHTER today in the Olympic club
case removes every obstacle that stood
in the way of glove contests before the
chartered athletic clubs of this city.
Consequently, there is nothing to pre-
vent the Corbett-Fitzsimmons mill be-
ing brought off in this city. There will
probably be another appeal to the SUI
preme court, although there is little
doubt that prize fighting will go on for
a year at least.

Forger Whom Senator Vest Once
Saved, Arrested Again.
NEW YORK, March I.-Alphonse
Vallaire. who has several aliases. was
arrested today by Detective Jacks on a
charge of passing forged checks for
amounts ranging from $40 to $50. Val
iaire was sent to Sing Sing three years
ago for passing forged check. He was
accompanied today by good looking
young woman who. he claimed, was his
wife. They had been stopping for a
week at boarding house on Bank
street, and in their room was found a
bank book on the First National Bank
OF Baltimore, and several stubs indi-
Gated that the checks had been used.
There was also found a typewritten
letter from United States Senator Vest,
dated at Washington and addressed to
Gov. Flower. Senator Vest pleaded
Valiaire's pardon. claiming that his
rather was'a prominent attorney in st.
Louis. A bottle containing Knockout
drops" was found in the woman'S pos
session.
The prisoner has had passed several
checks purporting to have been drawn
by }. j. johnson, r. Porter Harrison
George X. Parsons. and made payable
to Albert St Clair. They were all
drawn on the First National Bank of
Baltimore, and the handwriting differed
Ill each case. The prisoner gave his
name as Albert St. Clair, and MS resi-
dence as Philadelphia.

The prisoners were brought into
court about 10 o'clock. Sadie was
gowned in black. Her short hair had
been subjected to the crimping iron
until it hung in ringlets all around her
odd little head. She wore plain
black skirt. Her jacket was orna-
niInted with ght pig; square pearl
buttons, her dark blue fat hat was
the base from which two black plumes
stuck up. She sat in big chair right
at the shoulder of her counsel.

Slavin Knocks Out the Harlem
Pug in One Round.

Pug in One Round.
LONDON, March lin the boxing
match at Central hall, Holborn, this
evening between Frank p. Slavin, for
merly of Australia, and Frank Craig,
known as the Coffee Cooler" for a
purse of $1,000, Craig was knocked out
in one round.
Five thousand persons assembled
tonight at Central hall, Holborn, to
witness the match. The betting at the
start was to on Craig. After the
usual preliminaries the men came from
their corners and spared very eau
tiously for an opening. Slavin was the
first to lead off with slight blow on
Craig's head. This led to a rally in
which Slavin got in a couple of heavy
punches on his opponents ribs. On
breaking away Craig failed to land
blow aimed at Slavin's jaw, and tried
it again without success, receiving on
his own jaw tremendous backhander
blow from Slavin's right which f1oored
him like log. The attendants tried
hard to revive Craig, but at the expira-
ton of ten seconds he was still lying
helpless. Slavin was declared the win
ner amid a scene of intense excite
ment. The fight lasted less than two
minutes.
Sporting Life says:Just when there
appeared to be likelihood of some in
fighting, Slavin delivered a crushing
blow under Craig's jaw, and the latter
fell as if he had been shot. Few of
those present were able to realize what
had happened. Many did not see the
blow struck. There is no doubt that
Slavins victory is most popular one
The Sportsman says there was a bit
Of luck about Slavins blow, but there
is no doubt about its effectiveness. AS
a fight, it was fiasco. Craig may be a
champion, and Slavin may have re-
gained his former form, but it will re-
auire something better than yesterdays
show to prove this.

WIFE AIDED In MURDER.
Romantic Case on Trial at% Buff
faiO.

II1O.
BUFFALO, March IL. The dis
trict attorney moved the trial in the
superior court today of Clarence and
Sadie Robinson, indicted for murder
gomery Gibbs, a young lawyer, a
year ago. Gibbs was walking along
up a residence street, bordered with
mansions, brilliant with lights, about
10 o'clock in the evening. Suddenly
three pistol shots rang out in quick
succession, and Gibbs was found
dying from a bullet wound in his
head, lying in the driveway leading
to a fashionable residence. He ex-
pired without uttering a word. His
aSSailants had vanished and left
nothing as a clew to their identity.
Rumors soon connected Gibbs name
with some Of the families in the i'm
mediate vicinity, and hints of love
affairs were rife, much to the annoy
ance of many innocent people. The
theory that he was assailed by foot
pads was hardly credited. His watch
and money had been untouched. A
reporter found what he thought were
the footprints of woman near the
spot. No arrests were made until
several months later. The Buffalo
police received word from the police
of Cleveland that they had Clarence
Robinson under arrest, and had
wormed out from his pals a charge
that he was implicated in a Buffalo
murder.
Assistant Superintendent Cusack,
of the Buffalo police, went to Cleve-
land, "pinched" Robinsons wife.
Sadie, who, thinking that her hus-
band was to be charged with muir
der, confessed that she killed Gibbs
herself, but refused to give any de-
tails. Robinson, learning that his
wife was under arrest for the muir
der, made clean breast of the mat
ter, telling how he and his wife had
gone out to hold UP somebody that
night, Sadie being attired as a man.
Gibbs had resisted, and in the tus-
Sic he had been shot. The district
attorney has found the disguise
Sadie wore on the night, and other
corroborative evidence, and believes
he has strong case There are
many people here who believe that
the Robinsons are lying, and had
nothing to do with the affair. The
question whether the confessions of
the Robinsons will be admitted by
the court as evidence against them.
