Can't Leave Great south Beach.

Patchogue, Feb. 1S-The relatives and friends of the men who put out in sail boats on Sunday morning to go near the wreck of the steamer Lamjngton with view of picking up cases of wine which it was reported were to be thrown overheard, although a little anxious owing to the men not returning, are not worried about their safety.
 Before the men could return to the shore from the scene of the wreck which is on the bar, about five miles from this village, the cold weather set in, and, the Great South Bay becoming frozen, 1t was impossible for them to again get back to the mainland.
 Some of the men who went out on Sunday morning from this village were H. Smith, Fred Smith, Charles Sat terly Harry Payne, Stanley Cox, R. E, Dare, William B. Eaton and Sidney Weeks. They are all believed to be at either the Blue Point, Bellport or Lone Hill life-saving stations.
 The Great South Bay is frozen over and cannot be traversed by boats The ice is not thick enough, however, to permit persons to walk over it, but it is believed that it may be thick enough tonight. The men will suffer no hardships, as the lifesavers in the three stations can provide for them without much difficulty.

Iniured in Ludlow Street Jail.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Mrs. Jennie Will Hams lies i'll at the Ludlow street jail suffering from the effects of an acci- dental blow by a hammer handle. Her condition is improving and she is out of danger,
 She is confined to the jail. awaiting trial for sending improper matter through the mails, and, having been in a delicate condition for some time, the sheriff has been thinking over the ad- visibility of sending her to a hospital.
 She was taken i'll last Thursday and on examination it was learned that on the day previous one of the keepers had dropped hammer from one of the tier balconies to a keepr on the floor below. The latter failed to catch it. It glanced off and the handle struck Mrs. Williams on the side, causing her illness. It was feared for time that she would not recover.
 Two keepers were dismissed last night. These dismiSsals, however, grew out of other matters. It was said that one of these keepers was the man who had dropped the hammer.
 Warden Rose reported the matter to Sheriff Tamsen, who will make an in yestigation.

To he Allowed to Fight,

Fl Paso Tex, Feb 1S.-The story is going the rounds of the resorts this morning that the fight managers have received an intimation from source near to the state of Chihuahua authori- ties that there need not be any appre- hension concerning the interference with the Maher-IFitzsimmons fight on Friday next, provided the spot selected is not within forty miles of Juarez up or down the Rio Grande, or adjacent to a village or hamlet.
 At headquarters the usual policy of refusing to either confirm or deny cur rent rumors is still being adhered to, but color is given to the report by the fact that Governor Ahumada and two members of his staff were for two hours yesterday afternoon the guests of Fitz- simmons, at the latter's training quar- ters, partook of his hospitality and watched with interest his punching of the bag and other exercises.
 The governor is a man of considerable dignity, and those who know him best say that he would not have lowered it or even compromised himself by putting himself on such extremely social terms with a man who a few days hence he might be compelled to deal with as a criminal unless he was we'll aware that the plans were such as to make it cer- tain that the fighting party was not likely to be subject to his Jurisdiction. The dispatch from the City of. Mexico this morning to the effect that the fed- eral authorities have. given orders to ar rest everybody connected with, the fight and to exert every effort to prevent it is pronounced pure invention by those of the governors circle at Juarez. The federal authorities have not issued any
 orders outside of the original suggestion
 to Governor Ahumada as to his duties
 in the matter nor are they further con-
 corning themselves in the matter.
 Telegrams by the bushel were sent out yesterday afternoon to sports and other
 ring patrons all over this and neighbor- | ing states as far east as St. Louis, no-
 tifying them that the fixture for Friday l is a sure thing. The responses. how
 ever, have been meager, and the pros
 poets of the return Of even fraction
 of the crowd that was here on Thursday
 are not bright Outside of the regiment
 of newspaper correspondents the num- Der of strangers still remaining to at
 tend the mill does not exceed even if it reaches 100.
