COL. RAPIER OUSTED.
Mr.. Barker Installed as Postmaster
Mt Mobile.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 2S.-Postmaster
P. D. Barker was installed before day
light this morning in Office here, after
an all night vigil in the postoffice. The
inspectors arrived last night and over
hauled the accounts Of the office and
found that they were correct. This
morning they took possession and
swore in Mr.. Barker and the employees
on arrival. Two Of the employees refus-
ed to take oath to the new postmaster
and were suspended. Col. Rapier, who
claims to hold Office by virtue Of section
1880 of the revised statutes, which law
requires that removals before expira-
ton of term must be by the advice and
consent of the senate, sued out writ
of injunction in the United States cir
cult court. The plea was that Barker
was not and is not postmaster, because
Rapier has not been legally removed
and Barker's name has not been sent
to the senate Rapier asked that Bark
er be enjoined from interfering with
him in the discharge Of his duties as
postmaster Judge Toulmin refused to
grant the Injunction.

sPURNs THE .uLTIMATUM."
NiinnetOnI,n Yacht Club Refuses to
Yield at All.

Unless the White Bear Yacht club qualities
its utimatum, as submitted to the Mime
tonka Yacht club, relative to racing for the
coming season, the series of contests finished
last season will in all probability be the last.
The Minnetonka Yacht club viii have moth
ing to do with the so-called 'ultimatum,
and at the meeting held last evening in the
Kasota block decided not to accept the
terms. The bone of contention is the cat
boat, no such style having been built at Min
netonka for years. The White Bear club;
however has a fondness for the kittens, ana
would sadly part Herewith, hence its ulti-
matum. Ultmatum or no ultimatum. now
ever, the Minnetonka Yacht club Will train
no catboats the coming season.
Scant courtesy was shown the White Bear
clubs communication, it being briefly put
unanimously rejected.
E. ]. Phelps introduced resolution ro-
posing a small boat for championship races
The boat he proposed will be about the
same size as a second rater, not to carry
more than 500 square feet of sail. me p2ds
proposed would cost between $4OO and @'1p
and would require crew CT four men,.
This resolution it was at first decided TO
refer to the committee on rules, but TINS ac-
ton was reconsidered. as the club wishes 70
have a general expression by its members
before taking final action. 1t is also the pur-
pose to try and secure thorough expression
in regard to the proposed racing class. FOR
this purpose a meeting will be held next lues-
day evening.

Everhardt-DaIy Fight at New Or
leans u Draw.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 2S-Jack DAILY
and Jack Everhardt met before the Tulane
Avenue Athletic club, with about 1000 pres
ent, for a percentage of the receipts. The
match originally for twenty rounds, but
ten rounds, and charged $500 for that. Ever
hardt said he trained for twenty rounds, and
refused to go on until he secured an agree
ment that If both men were on their feet at
the end of ten rounds the fight would be
declared draw. Everhardt tried to make it
a rough and rushing fight from the start,
but Daily was clever enough to keep away
from punishment. Daly's left was weak, so
that there was not much harm done until
the seventh when Daily learned to use his
right, and kept it going on the body. In the
tenth round Daly's right did rushing busi-
ness on Everhardt's body, and there was
danger Of a Knockout. Then Everhardt
clinched and wrestled and saved his skin
until time was called and Referee Duffy de-
clared it a draw.
