BOTH ACQUITTED.


~ steF&tHuef Oh the aeSbEEtOuJ~
Thomas Bradley. a ~saloonkeeper at West
Side avenue, opposite to the entrance to
the cemetery, and Thomas Cullen, his bar
tender, were tried in the General Sessions
Court yesterday for selling liquor on
Sunday Bradley was tried at the same
time for assault and battery on Detective
Larkins and Policeman Smell, who made
the arrest.
Detective Larkins testified that ON Sun
day, May 10. he heard loud talking and the
blinking Of glasses in Bradley's saloon.
The sound came out through an open fan
light. LarlSins climbed up on a box which
had been used by a flower vender and
looking through the fanlight saw foam.ng
glasses of beer being placed on the bar.
He thought it was beer because it had
foam on it. He also saw a bottle contain
ing something that looked like liquor on
the bar. A man handed the bartender a
bill and got change. Larkins and Smell
Went 70 the icecream saloon and ordered
cream from Mrs. Bradley. Bradley was
there letting people in and out through
a door which communicates with the sa-
loon. When Bradley opened the commune
eating door Larkirls and Smell jumped for
It and a truggle ensued. Bradley punched
Larkins and Smell although they told him
that they were officers. They finally
placed him under arrest. A crowd gath
cred around and the officers thought it
advisable to take him to the police station
IN the patrol wagon. Cullen was arrested
the next day.
Allan L. McDermott. who defended
Bradley, took Detective Larkin in hand.
What was your business" he asked,
before you became a detective?"
Il was a street PAYER"
Didn't you occasionally practice the
manly art of self-defence in public?,
Eyes, sir, a few times
Weren't you always able to hold your
own?'
Not always
Mr.. McDermott asked the witness if
ne had not demanded protection money
from Bradley, and he said not to his
knowledge. He admitted that he had heard
something about Bradley making a com
plant against him. Mr.. McDermott ques-
ttoned him sharply as to his right TO
break into a mans place without a war
rant and arrest a man who was not COM
hitting any crime. Larkins said that
Bradley was aiding in violating the Sun
day law by letting people in and out of
his saloon. Bradley, his wife and several
other witnesses testified that no business
was being done in the saloon that day.
The jury acquitted him and his bartender.

The final bouts of the A. A. U. boxing
and wrestling championships will b. held
at Madison Square Garden tonight. and the
wedding out of the boxers has left, UNI
doubtedly, one of the best programmes
for the followers of boxing in this sec
ton of the country.
In the 105-pound class five boxers are
left; in the %115-pound class eight men will
appear this evening" in the 1s5-pound class.
eight men, and in the 145-pound there are
also eight men Left, The most interesting
event of the evening VIII be the finals for
the heavy weight boxing class. In this
contest George Carter, of the Prospect
A. c.; ]. B. Eberle, of the Pastime A. c.:
Joseph Knipe, of the New Manhattan A.
c., and George ~Sehwegler, of the New
York A. G., will be the contesting box
ers. The mention Of Schwegler's name on
Monday night apparently frightened out
all the middleweights, who refused to
spar, and as a result those, athletes will
be suspended by the A. A. u. for six
months. The heavy weight men, however.
and We're perfectly willing to meet him.
When Schwegler. on Monday night. de-
feated James Herty. of the New West
best amateur middle weights the public
mas eyer had an opportunity to see, and
this does. not detract one particle from
the well-knoWn ability of such men as
worth, Cahill and Butler. Experts who
were present Monday night pronounce
Schwegler one of the best middle weights
boxers that ever appeased. on a stage, n
are of the opinion that there are few in
the professional class WIKI could hold
Schwegler back. His long experience in
athletics has held him in good stead. He
is fit, strong and aggressive and has ali
the cleverness Of his teacher, Professor
Mike Donovan. S~chwegler's many friends
IN the Seventh Regiment and the New
York A, G. will turn OUT in large numbers
to see just what kind of an exhibition he
will make against the New Manlpattan's
crack, Joseph p. knipe, who is looked
upon as the one who will fight it out with
Schwegler in the final bout.

There is a great deal Of interest among
the wheelmen over the double century
to be run next Sunday by the Manhat-

very common nowadays. and there are
very few wheelmen of any staying abili-
ties that have failed to cover a run of
100 miles, but there are a very small
number among them capable of reeling
off a double century in twenty-four hours.
A number will make the attempt, now

President Cleveland has announced

boundary commission as follows: lavid
j. Brewer, of Kansas. justice United
States supreme court; Richard II.
Alvey, of Maryland, chief justice OF
the court of appeal If the District of
Columbus; Andrew ID. White, of New
York; Frederick Il. Cou iert, of New
York. and Daniel C. Gilman, of Mary
land.
The commission is regarded as n very
satisfactory one, whose opinions and
conclusions will be- received by the
American public with that confidence
which the standing of the members
of the commission in the public eye
inspires.
Justice Grower is n Republican and
about IS years OF age. lie is q gradu-
ate of Yale.
Richard II. Alvey is Democrat and
man of marked legal ability. He is
almost so years of age.
Andrew ID. White is Republican.
He is one of the best known men of
letters in this country and perhaps in
the world: is an author and historian
and has been president of Cornell uni
yersity.
Frederick Il. Coudcrt is q Democrat
and is one of the best known mem bers
Of the bar IN New York. Mr.. Coudert
was one of the counsel for the United
States on the Bering sea commission.
The last named member of the COM
mission, Daniel C. Gilman, president
of John Hopkins university, is we'll
known rs an authority in international
law. lie has never figured promi-
nently in politics, but is understood
to be Republican.
The work of the commission will be
to examine and collect evidence with a.
view to determining the true divisional
line between Venezuela and British
Guiana. The conclusions reached win
be reported TO the President for his
information in connection with any
further representations and cOmmuni-
cations that may be made by this gov
eminent to Great Britain in connection
with tho boun larry line dispute be-
tween that country and Venezuela.

1000 Christians Butcnoroa at orfah.

The recent massacre at Orfah,
Asiatic Turkey, is stated to have been
n terrible affair. The official dis
patches admit that 900 Christians were
killed, but, according to private &C.
counts, about 1000 were killed. No
further details OF the massacre. how
ever. have Lcen received. A massacre
is said TO have occurred at S.red Iils, an
important town on the Euphrates.
The Turkish government baS con
scented TO accept the offer Of the for
eign representatives at Constantinople
that the foreign consuls at Aleppo
mediate between the Turks, who are
besieging Zeitoun, and the Armeniaus
who hold the town, for the surrender
of the latter.
Owing to the representation made
by S.r Phillip Currie, the British am
bassador, the porte has instructed
the vail OF kharput to allow
Mr.. Barnum 10 distribute the fund
collected in England for the relief OF
the suffering Armenians. Trust
worthy reports regarding the outragcs
in the villayet of Kharput alone show
that 1873 towns and villages were desc
lated, 5.O64 houses burned and eos
persons killed. Not u single Turk was
killed as far as is known.
