Ice PaMce Next Week

Next week will be an exceedingly eventful
one at the Convention Hall Ice Palace
Those who are to race with Donoghue have
been selected. and the schedule of races
have been made out and is given below.
Some very fast men are among the num-
ber. including representatives from Balti-
more, Boston. Montreal and this CITY.
There are nine laps to the mile at the rink
by actual measurement. and this will allow
some marvellous bursts of speed to be shown
by the racers.
The one TO go up against DonOGhue Mon
day evening will he W. p. InglefretZ of
Baltimore. an exceedingly fast man, and
II. S. Steits of Washington.
George Lewis of this city will try conclu-
sions Tuesday evening and r. F. La Mat of
Paris on Wednesday evening. La Mat is
an unusually graceful skater, and is also
speedy.
R. NJ. Bagg and ]. F. Conroy will race
against the champion Thursday evening.
The former of these is present captain OF
the Johns Hopkins hockey team of Balti-
chuSettS.
Conroy is from Montreal, and the two will
make a pair that will probably give Dono-
ghue his hardest task of the week. Inolc-
fretz and Lewis will try Friday. and BaS2
and Conroy again on Saturday. Messrs.
G F. Gaines and q. Z. Phillips will act a S
Judges.
Donoghue will also give an exhibition
every afternoon at the rink at 3 O'Clock,
skating against time for five miles. There
is every evidence that an immense crowd
will be in attendance during the sessions OF
next week. as the work of DonOghue is
known over the entire world. and the races
are likely to prove exceedingly interesting
and close on account of the handicaps.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-'Jack' Daily,
OF Wilmington, Del, lowered the colors OF
Charles Mccarthy, the veteran light weight
boxer OF this city, in siN-round bout last
evening before the Tuxedo Athletic Club.
The men boxed at catch-weights, and they
made very clean and pretty sct-to. The
Wilmington lad looked the heavier of the
two and had the better of the go" but
ackno wlciged that Mccarthy was Il tough
man to defeat. The latter was very cool,
and it took Daly some time TO get on TO his
style. DAILY found that he was up aga inst

WRONGED HUSBANDS WORK
George Everhart Severely Beats
Robert B. Chewing a Car Driver.
Judge h m bn II Scored q he / II jill red Man,
But Thought He Had Been Pun
ished Enough.

A single mans asSiduous attentions To Il
married woman formed the grounds OF a
lively encounter at Fifth and Il streets
northeast yesterday afternoon between
George Everhart. the wife's husband. and
Robert 3. Chewing. which resulted in the
latter being badly done up and both men
escorted to No. 9 station.
They We're only charged with diSorderly
conduct at the station and were released
on 50 collateral each. Everhart is EN-
ployed as foreman of the section hands
along the BIltimore and Ohio tracks. and
lives at First and l streets northeast
Chewing resides at First and K streets
northeast. and is a car driver for the
lexington and soldiers Home line.
Some months ago the latter. who X a
single man, boarded with Everhart and
his wife.
soon ne began paying marked attention
to Everhart's wife, which created ILL.,
Will and unsasineSs on the part OF the
husband. Trouble arose and Chewing left
his quarters at the Everhart household
and took up his ABIDE at No. $50 First
street only one block away. Even this
did not preveut the wife and Chewing from
meeting. Thus things continued until the
affair grew more and more serious.
Everhart's jealousy rapidly increased and
his suspicious were OF grave nature,
Yesterday afternoon he watched his rival
and followed him down the street. At
Fifth and G streets northeast Mrs. Ever
hart and Chewing met and began talking
together. The woman's husband hurried
/ to the corner and at once lit into the car
driver, giving him a severe thrashing.
Chewing's face was beaten to such an
extent that both his eyes-in fact. his en-
tire countenanCe-was swollen enormously
when he appeared before Judge kimball
in the police court this morning.
Policeman Hayden, who arrested the
men, told the court the facts in the case,
though he had not been near enough to see
either man distinctly.
You may expect worse than that, said
Judge Kimball to Chewing, elf you don't
let other peoples wives alone. This man
appears to have been punished pretty well,
so take his personal bonds.
Everhart forfeited his collateral and con-
seQuently did not figure in the trial.
