At LAYIGNE'S BENEFIT.
The kid Did" Some Very Neat
Sparring With Woods and

Given Good Send.Otf Before His De.
parture to Fight Burge at
London.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The Grand Cen
tral Palace was crowded to overfowing to-
night by the friends and admirers of
kid" Lavigne. The benefit was given in
honor of his departure for London, where
he will meet Dick Burge at the National
Sporting Club for $1,000 side. The pro-
gramme was excellent.
George Lavigne opened by sparring with
Harry Woods of California. Lavigne re-
ceived rousing reception.
Woods got a lot of punishment in the
first round, the 'Kid" giving his left about
the head and body, occasionally varying
the performance by driving in with his
right. Lavigne was again the aggressor
in the second round, showing some very
pretty science in short-arm fighting. The
third and fourth rounds were rattlers, La
vigne doing al the fighting and never let
ting up on the Californian.
The final bout was between Lavigne and
Tommy Ryan of Chicago. Ryan started
off quick, leading for Lavignes body
Lavigne stood in, both men putting up
plenty OF science. Ryan hit hard all
through the second round. Lavigne stood
up and got in three or four that had plenty
of power behind them. The last two
rounds were repetitions of the others, both
men hitting hard, which pleased the on
lockers, who gave them rousing send-off.

an Interesting Decision That Bears Upon
the Subject.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 9.-The Court
of Appeals in the case of Mary A. Morris
against the New York, Ontario and West
ern Railroad has rendered an interesting
decision bearing directly on the question
of privileged communications made to doc
tors. The Code of Civil Procedure says
that doctor shall not be allowed to dis
close any information which he acquired
IN attending a patient in professional
capacity.
Mrs. Morris, in the case decided, sued
the railroad company for injuries received.
AT the time of her illness she was attended
by two physicians. She called one, but
when the defendant attempted to call the
other she objected on the ground of privi
legged communication. Her objection was
sustained and the suit decided in her favor.
The decision, of course, does not alter the
confidential relations OF physician and
his patient where there is only one physi-
clan, but where there are two or more
physicians and opinions differ no one of
them can testify without giving the de-
fendant in lawsuit the right to call all
the others.

PHILADELPHIA POLICE CORRUPTION
Evidence as to Purchased Protection for
"SPeak Easies and Policy
ShoDs.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. 9.-The pro-
lection by the police of "speak easies" and
policy shops. the brutal conduct of police
men and the discharge of employees from
the city departments because they did
not agree with their superiors, were
brought out this afternoon at the meeting
OF the Senatorial investigating committee.
Ex-Policeman George Slook Jr. testified
to having received together with Special
Officer Martin and other policemen, sums
of money which were paid them for pro-
lection by proprietors of "policy shops"
and "speak easies." The witness further
stated that Martin was indicted in Octo-
Der, 1894, for an alleged bribery in Janu-
ary, 1892, but that the case against him
was dismissed last month on the ground
that the time for the prosecution had ex-
pired by statute limitation. The witness
declared that although Martin is unable to
read or write he is still connected with the
Police Department.

ONLY GAINED SYMPATHY.
Stubborn Defense Made by a
Woman During a Trial
for Libel.
Lawyers and Judges Denounced, but
the Jury Found Her
Guilty.

RALEIGH, n. c., Jan. 9. - A criminal
trial that will be noted in the jurispru-
dence of the State was on here yesterday
in the Superior Court. A woman indicted
for libel defended herself before Judge
and jury. Mrs. Pattie Arlington was some
years ago divorced from her husband.
Out of this trouble sprung many lawsuits.
A number of lawyers appeared for Mrs.
Arlington in different suits. Among them
was ex-Judge Spier Whitaker of the Su-
perior Court, late chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, and now one of
the leading Populists of the State.
Mrs. Arlington began last summer the
publication of a newspaper known as the
Criminal Document. In this she charged
Whitaker of having stolen $500 from her
by an order he made while Judge in the
case he had appeared in before he was
elected Judge. For this she was indicted.
The trial began yesterday. Not being
able to employ a lawyer Mrs. Arlington
defended herself. and she did it with skill
and ability. She gave ex-Judge Whitaker
a scorching cross-examination. She went
on the witness-stand and her evidence was
graphic and startling. She got beyond
the control of the court and detailed her
experiences in all her litigation. She de-
nounced many of the most prominent
lawyers and Judges in the State as being
guilty of crimes for which they should be
breaking rock in the penitentiary.
1t is the first time a woman was indict-
ed in this State for this offense. 1t was
the first time a woman was compelled to
be her own lawyer. The Courthouse was
crowded and those present seemed to
sympaUhize with Mrs Arlington. There is
another indictment against her for libel
ing the late Chief Justice William n. II.
Smith in publishing in herspaper after his
death d statement that he had defrauded
her and her children out of their home.
Mrs. Arlington is from one of the oldest
and best families in the State, and her
character is good. She made strong
speech to the jury, and at times was i'm
passioned and eloquent. She frequently
criticized the District Attorney, and de-
nounced parts of his speech as willfully
false. The jury promptly found her
guilty.

An exactly similar statement was read
in the Senate by the Premier.

Besides reading in the Senate the same
statement which Caron read in the Com
mons, Premier Bowel said he was willing

pie his own action and that of his col
Leagues who had attacked him.

TO AVOID AN EXPOSURE.
Suicide Of First Lieutenant
Swift of the Ninth
Cavalry.
Fearing a Court. martial for Dishonesty,
the Officer Sent a Bullet Through
His Heart.

FORT ROBINSON, NEBR., Jan. 9.-Ofi-
cars and men of the post were excited this
afternoon by the suicide of First Lieuten-
ant Swift of the Ninth Cavalry under cir
cumstances which indicate that he took
his life as the alternative of bearing the
disgrace of exposure for dishonesty and
consequent punishment by court-martial.
He shot himself through the heart. He
had been filling the positions of post ex-
change officer and commissary officer, but
last week had been relieved of both duties
and an investigation of his accounts was in
progress. The suicide leaves widow and
a large family.

Our regular Washington CORES
pondent takes no stock in the stu
pid and malignant charge that
President Cleveland will oppose
the election of Bryan and Sewall,
and has. this to say on the subject:
There are plenty of Democrats
in Washington who do not like
portions of the platform and many
more who wanted other men nomi-
mated, but SO far as 1 know none of
them are talking of boiling. The
National convention settled the
matter for them. and as good party
men they are now for the ticket.
The talk of President Cleveland
taking part in a movement to NOM
mate a gold Democratic ticket
finds few believers here. It is
Greenhouses to wood toothpicks
that he does nothing of the kind.
There can only be one Democratic
ticket and that has been nominated
in a regular manner by a properly
constituted convention. OF course
after reading the platform one can
not expect that President Cleve-
land will enthuse over it.
