BURNS BEATEN.
Mr.. KilIian Was Given judgment
Against the ex-Prize Fighter.
Defendant Had a Counter Claim but Lost
Account Book.

Robert Il. Burns. who few years
ago had considerable of a reputation
as a boxer and prize fighter, had
judgment given against him In the
civil division of the Sixth District Court
today I'm favor of l.. j. Killian OF Bos-
ton. Burns some time ago retired from
the ring and has devoted his energies
10 more important affairs, but I'm 1877,
according TO the story of Mr.. kiliian,
who is Burns cousin, Burns stayed
around his place i'm Boston and in the
intervals of fights was supported by
him. The amount sued for was $2o0
of which $3.50 was money loaned ana
the balance due on a promissory note
that the plaintiff had endorsed. MI,
Killian is a liquor dealer in Boston ana
he stated he took a great interest IN
Burns as a fighter and as relative.
Burns story was quite different. He
claimed to have book account against
Mr.. Killian amounting to $i475, but he
admitted all of this had been paid ex-
cept $l70 above the $3.50 sued for. The
book, in which this account was kept
was lost, Mr.. Burns not being very par
ticular about Ii as IL only cost fve
cents. Mr.. Burns explained that he
was not bookkeeper and claimed he
was constantly loaning the plaintin
money after he won SLIGO in his night
with Mccarthy. May 80, 1892.
Judge Sweetland gave the piaintin
Judgment for 1868 and costs. John w.
Hogan was counsel for Mr.. Killian.

Mr.. Banigan was also one OF the larg-

the new cathedral In this city. and was
always ready TO furnish money TO fur.

these great and noble charities which
I'm the largencss of his heart, he car
ried out so willingly. perhaps the
greatest of all his charities We're those
that were so distributed that nobody
except those benefited ever knew who
were the recipients OF his bounty.
MIR. Banigan was always ready to aid
the poor and needy, TO alleviate suffer-
ing and to help the worthy to a start in
life, and this irrespective OF creed or
nationality. He believed In doing good
and in making the world happier. and
thus he maintained a system OF private
charity. and every month deposited to
the credit of his private secretary. Mr.
John j. Comfy, sum of money TO be
distributed 10 all needy applicants, the
system being upon entirely non-sec-

particularly effective during the hard
times OF the panic of 1893

WILL NEVER GET II.
Reads $1,000 Verdict Will Not Be
Paid.


Charles ~. Read will never obtain the
$1,000 recently awarded him by jury in
the Common Pleas Division of the SUI
preme Court against the New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company. 1t was the second verdict
that had been given, the first being for
$4,000. The Appellate Court set the first
verdict aside and granted new trial
in order that the plaintiff might be
given an earnestly sought opportunity
TO show that the defect in the brake rod
which caused the accident by which he
was injured was not a latent defect.
In it's previous opinion the court de-
cided that the defect In the brake was
due 10 flaw in the welding not dis
cernible by the eye or by customary
mode of inspection. The record OF the
last trial fails TO show, the court holds,
that evidence was introduced to change
the opinion that the defect was one that
could be seen or found by ordinary
means OF inspection, so that Judgment
is now given for the defendant for
costs.

Madrid. July 26, via Biarritz, July
2s.-Notwithstanding the fact that it is

advances to the United States in the
direction of peace, it is evident that the

that It's requests for information as to
the terms the United States will de-
mand will prevent the dispatch of Conn
modore watsons squadron for the
Spanish coast. Precautions continue
to betaken TO defend the threatened
ports, and all the buoys and bcacons
have been removed from the Bay of
Cadiz and the harbors of the islands
OF Majorca. Minorca and Iviza of the
Balearic group.
Madrid, July 27.-Telegrams received
from San Sebastian today declared
that three American warships and two
transports had been sighted off that
place. The reports caused a tempor-
ary sensation. but II was soon proved
that they were a Bourse maneuver.

WRIT REFUSED.
Herbert N. Kimball, ~, Fails In Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.

Chief Justice Matteson, who on last
Saturday heard the petition OF Herbert
M. Kimball, 2d, for a writ Of habeas
corpus, has decided not to grant the
writ. Judgment was obtained against
Mr.. Kimball by Mrs. Bridget Dolan for
s400 for injuries due to being knocked
down by a bicycle that Kimball was
riding. and he was committed to jail on
an execution taken out last week. Her
bert Almy, counsel for Kimball filed a
petition for writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that his client was minor
and illegally confined because no guard
ian was appointed to look after his
rights at the trial.
The language of the rescript Is as fol-
lows, 'Inasmuch as the judgment
against the said Kimball is not void,
but only voldable. the only proceeding
to set Ii aside is proceeding operat-
ing directly upon the record In this
state the only remedy is by petition for
a new trial. / am OF the opinion that
habeas corpus cannot be resorted to for
the purpose OF vacating the judgment"

NEWS OF THE
CAPITULATION

Correspondence the Associated Press.)
Santiago, July 15.--The American SOL
diers encamped on the hillsides that fall
away from our entertainments have
been waiting day after day for the re-
suit of the combined truces and confer
ences between Spain and the United
States to be known. They learned yes
terday that Santiago had capitulated.
This news was sent along the line to
the right and the fleet from Gen. Wheel
er's headquarters by Col. j. j. Astor.
and with II went instructions that our
boys were to make no demonstrations
Of joy or victory. in order that the feel
ings Of the Spaniards in the thrnches
would not be hurt by the echoing of our
victorious cheers. So the news was re.
ceived very quietly.
During the afternoon men climbed to
the trenches to look again at the city
they had taken and were not allowed
to enter and some were glad for peace
and others called for more fighting.
The strain OF the watching and wait
ing was removed and soldiers resolved
to get as comfortably fixed in camp as
the mud would permit. To many men
the Cuban campaign of '9S will be of
muddy memory.
When the hot sun poured down in
the whole camp. from Siboney to San
tiago has spread it's rays and basked
and dried out after the heavy down
pours.
At sunset yesterday as the regiment
bands all along the line played the ma
tional airs. as is the camp custom, and
as a tired soldier boy hummed the
words of the Star Spangled Banner"
to the bands time. he chanted the vic
tory he had not been permitted to cheer.
