Nct 10 To Misunderstood.
The Central Labor Union OF New
York City, while not political body,
put itself on record as not indorsing
William Mckinley. the Republican cam
didate for President of the United States
and Mark Hanna.
The subject came up on the reading
Of the following letter from John Hall,
secretary Of the Wh:testOne Associa-
ton of Marble Workers, TO the secretary
OF the Central Labor Union:
"Dear Sir and Brother: At special
meeting Of the Whftestcne Association
have been instructed to ask for infor-
nation in regard to the McKinley-Han-
ma svndicete. Is it not a well-kncwI
fact that Mr.. Hanna has done mere IN

to the Sailors Union on the great lakes
ranks high in his rec0-l as a union
smasher.

THE HARDY GOLD MEETING
Proves Fiasco The End of Gold Busism
In That Country

In That Country
It was widely announced for the past
two weeks that the gold men Of Hardy
county would hold their county conven-
ton at Lost City yesterday and select
delegates to their State convention. On
Monday morning Hon. Wnl G. Brown
arrived here accompanied by W. B.
Cornwell and went TO Lost City to Oh
serve the extent OF the movement.
We learned last night by telephone
communication with Mo0reGeld that
the meeting was q complete failure
from the gold standard point of view.
Altogether there were about one nun
dred persons present. Seventeen OF
that number were, or had been, god
men. Nine of them, only, participated
in the meeting. Delegates were named
from The various districts. some Of
whom were avowed silver men. Cod
speeches were then made. The lastone
was by a gentleman from Texas who ad-
yised the gold men to voc for sound
money If they had 20 vote the Repubh'
can ticket. This was the straw that
broke the came's back. Six OF the
r.ne who participated came out Of the
meeting and declared ;hat they were
done with the thing; that they did not
intend to 60 TO the State convention
and they fur her pledged th:.: suprrt
to Brown and the regulec Dnmocratic
ticket. Address ;es were made by Brown
and Cornwell end the nemn"rsts pes
ent were enthusiastic and determined.
Our correspondent states that the gold
movment in Hardy county is positively
at an end and that the Democrats of
Hardy county will give a good report of
themselves in November Hampshire
Review.

after titZSimmons. He was followed

in getting ready. lit2simmons was
the first TO step into the ring. lie was
applaudod by 300 voices vociGerously.
AS Mahcr climbed into the ring voice
There were no takers, Geo. Sler
climbed upon the platform almost at
the same time. With Julian and Hall
he examined the tlve-ounCc gloves. The
gloves were of different makes and diff
rerent colors, Fuzsimmons' being fight
green and Makers dark brown. AS the
seconds tied on the gloves Siler an
nouucrd that besides the official reteyee,
Louis llousemau, Bert Snecd, of New
orleans, would act for F'it2simmons
and parsou Davies Of Chicago would
hold the watch for Maher. Silcr gave
notice TO each man that Houscman

before the call of time for each round

OLD GAME.
AWFUL RlCHT-HAND SWING
Maher Draws First Blood but Is Him

ward-Unable to Rise, the Cham
pionship and Ten Thousand Dollars
Are Awarded to the Victor.

Langtry, Tex, Feb. 22.-Peter Maher
was knocked out by Bob Fitzsimmons
yesterday in the first round after one
minute and thirty-hve seconds of
actual fighting. Fitzsimmons played
the same old game he has often played
before, leading on his opponent until
he had him where he wanted him and
then landed a lightning right-hand
swing on the Jaw, and it was over. 1t
was the identical blow that knocked
Jim Haii in New Orleans. For the first
part Of the round Maher had the better
of it. He led often and forced the fight
ing. In his eagernesS to get at Fitz-
simmons he committed a palpable foul
during clinch and was warned by
Referee Siler that It's repetition would
cost him the fight. Maher fought well,
but he was no match for his edheaded
opponent, who proved himself one of
the craftiest men that ever stepped into
ring. FitZsimmons is now, by Cor
belts action in presenting the cham
pionship to Maher, champion of the
world and after the fight was over he
declared through Julian his willingness
to defend the championship against any
and all corners.
The train arrived at $3.50 and over the
rocky road winding about PERCEPTIONS
cliffs around the Rio Grande the crowd
wended It's way to the sandy beach of
the river. Forty-two Mexcans had
carried the material down to the river
bank Thursday night. A narrow
wooden footbrdge had also been put up
across the swiftly flowing stream. The
battle-ground was a sandy fiat upon a
big bend In the Rio Grande river on the
Mexican side 1t was just two miles
from Langtry. In the center of the
canvas wall, about 200 feet in diameter,
ring was pitched and the floor covered
with canvass over which resen was
sprinkled On one side was a frame

but did not reach him hard enough.
There never was minute since the
match was made that anticipated any
other result. He was afraid the min

with him in New Orleans. | Just got

After the Fitzsimmons party had
come to the railway station Ernst Rec
tor, the kinetescope man, came to Fitz.
with a proposition to fight Maher six
rounds in front of his machine which
would not work during the battle be-
cause of the dark weather. FitZsim-
mons readily accepted the chance, but
said he must have $4,000 cash in ad-
vance and fifty per cent. of the net
receipts of the exhibition of the
pictures. This was carried to the Ma
her party, but when the train pulled
out of Langtry for Ell Paso no arrange
ments had been made.
About 800 people paid 500 each to see
the fight but hundreds from the cliffs
on the Texas side enjoyed it all free.
Corbett Wakes Up.
Chicago, Feb 22.--Corbett had big

he was wildly cheered when he read
the following telegram which he had
written: H. l.. Beach, associated
press correspondent, Langtry, Texas;

and sank back to the canvas. Siler
told off the seconds and Maher again
attempted to rise. He was too far
dazed however. He had not sufficient
strength in his back to get up. One
by one Referee Siler CONTINUOUSLY told
off the seconds while Maher vainly
tried to rise. The fatal tenth second
was counted, Maher declared out and
Fit2simmons announced the victor, af
ter one minute and thirty-fve seconds
OF rather lively fighting.
AS Mahcr fell to the floor Fit2sim
mons stepped back, his eyes sparkling
and smile playing around his mouth,
lie gazed upon his fallen foe about
three seconds and then walked over to
his corner and sat down. Julian, Nc
Coy and EYcfhart crowded around him,
