day of the reported death of United States

that Ashby had been drowned, without any
particulars of the event, and an announce
ment that a man would be temporarily put

Points for "kid" Mccoy.

The Cincinnati Times-Star has the follow
ing to say of Kid Mccoy:
Mccoy ought TO take that brother of his
IN hands, or the methods of boosting the
Kid he uses will react lust as Julian S
Selby likes to see his name in print and in
ms Verdancy thinks he can deceive people
with four fiushes' To boom his show at
Dayton he is working it up a s a desperate
battle between the Kid and Jimmy Ryan.
The latter is posting money to guarantee
appearance, etc, and one would be led to
believe that 1t was all on the square. Now
the facts are that Ryan was McCoy's SPAR
ring partner at the Peoples last week, and
IS engaged in a similar capacity at Dayton.
McCoy'S usual side partner, Payne, being
temporarily laid up. Ryan and Mccoy give
very nice set-to, and there is no need to
misrepresent matters for advertising pur-
poses.
Then the signing of articles to fight
Charlie Goff is sckening. the disguise is
so thin No one outside Of Billy Madden
knows anything about Golf. He has no rec
ord that any one knows of, and has never
had any fights with men of recognized
merit. Yet, for a little advertising young
Selby matches him with the Kid fight to
The whole affair is purely a boost, but
badly arranged one. If Mccoy wants to
fight he can sign with Walcott or some
other star of the ring, and not have to take
on an unheard-of nonentity like Goff. The
Kid has always been a willing and ready
fighter, and his reputation is secure enough
not to have to be sustained by such fiimsy
merit as a fighter and reached position
above such littleness Let him call his
brother off or he will find that he is dam
aging his reputation.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. ia shut

the cotton mills of New Bedford, began this
morning. Not spindle was turning nor a
loom in motion in the factories of the cloth
corporations al hour after the usual time
for beginning work. Between forty and fif-
ty operatives went into the Bristol mill and
twenty-five or thirty into the Whitman, but
aside from these no mill made any show of
running, and these two soon shut down.
Nine corporations operating eighteen mills,
in which upward Of 5000 people are en-
ployed, are involved in the strike The cut
down is uniform all over the city, and is 10
per cent. The total pay roll of these cor
porations is estimated at $4,000 weekly.
Both manufacturers and operatives seemed
to be well prepared for the strike, and the
situation was treated in a very matter-of-
fact manner by both sides. Only at the
Acushnel mill gates did any disturbance oc-
cur, and that did not prove serious, al
though the managers We're jeered loudly and
some frozen dirt and sticks were thrown
Soon after the starting hour the lights went
out on the different floors and the crowd
outside yelled with delight. The crowd, good
natured up TO this time, begun to manifest
its bitterness toward the mill officials. who
as they left the mill building to enter the
office were greeted with a shower of frozen
earth and small stones. Superintendent

a hustling. He retreated into the office.

the mill was shut down. In one or two of
the other mills the machinery was started
but no work was done. AT z o'clock what

come out and the tie-up was complete.

A CHICAGOAN PUMMELED
FRANK GARRARD's FACE HORRIBLY
BRUISED BY JOE CANS.
Bloody Fight stopped by Police in the
Fifteenth ROund-McCOy's Chal-
lenge to the champions"

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 1.-THE twenty
round go between Frank Garrard, of Chi
cago, and Joe Cans of Baltimore, was
stopped in the fifteenth round by the police
and Referee Siler gave the decision to Cans,
who had landed three times TO Garrard's S
once throughout In the second round Gar
rard knocked Cans clear off his feet with a
long, swinging upper cut under the jaw,
put after that the colored man had the best
of it, Garrard started in with a cut over
his left eye, received at Chicago in a recent
aght and Cans knocked it open in the first
round Garrard bled profusely all through
and was weakened by loss of blood. Cans
kept jabbing him in the face with both
hands, and the fifteenth round knocked
Garrard down twice in succession. Garrard
arose staggering, and the police stopped
the match.
Cans proved himself one of the cleverest
and shiftiest men ever seen in a ring here
Garrard seldom reached him. and what
blows he did land seemed to 90 the colored
man no damage. Cans was wonderfully
quick, and punched Garrards face until it
was a horrible sight, reaching him with
both hands so fast and often that the Chi
cagoan was dazed throughout the last few
rounds, and had hard work to protect him
self at all. From the second round to the
tenth it looked as though Garrard might
at any time land one of his wicked right
swings, but then he weakened visibly and
was several times saved by the gong.
In a preliminary Jim Janey, the black
Demon" OF Washington, beat Tom Kelly,
the "Hoboken cyclone" in one round. Kelly
was badly outclassed, and after being
knocked all around the ring Tor two min
utes he went down in a heap and arose so
groggy that he could hardly stand After
staggering about few minutes he quit and
fell into his corner.

Secret Circular Denounced.

BERLIN, Jan. 17.-In the Reichstag to-
day, in the course of the discussion on the
Home Office estimates, Herr Wurm, Social
ist, denounced a secret circular of Count
Posadowski, minister of the interior against
strikers, which had recently been published
in Vorwaerts, the Socialist organ, as an un-
heard of attack upon the rights of combina-
ton, to which the workingmen would reply
at the elections.
Count Posadowski, amid noisy demonstra-
tions by the Socialists. declared that the
circular did not touch the right of combina-
ton, but that workers must be protected
against terrorism by strikers. He asserted
that in England the employers were In the
hands of the trades unions, who dictate
strikes.
Herr Singer said the yorwaerts would
continue TO publish such documents.
Count Posadowsky rejoined that Herr
Singers words amounted to an invitation to
officials to violate their OATH for the circu-
lar only reached the Vorwaerts by a breach
of faith.

AT WHITE HALL AGAIN.
Dora Richardson Clay Returns to Her
Aged Husbands Home.

VALLEY VIEW, KY, Jan. T.-Dora Rich
of the Spartan mothers in her achieved de-
termination to visit her aged husband, Gen.
Cassius M. Clay, at White Hail. She had
started there on foot Saturday afternoon
but her physical condition was such that
she travelled less than a mile when she was
obliged to return TO the home of her sister,
Mrs. Kelly. Roy Kelly, her brother-in-law,
came home last night, but he is so much
afraid of Clell Richardson that he would
lend her no assistance yesterday, and she
walked over to Squire Masterss house,
half a mile distant and by dint of much
entreaty obtained horse to ride to White
Hall. She was scarcely able to mount the
animal on account of her weakened condi-
ton, and the kind-hearted old squire as
sisted her into the saddle. She stopped at
the home of her brother William, who lives
on the road to General Clays and about
mile from White Hall. William is the one
member of the Richardson family whom the
general always has despised, and he had
been accused by the old warrior of having
kept Dora away from him. When she told
him what Clell had done to her he laid
aside the feeling of enmity he had against
the general for falsely accusing him and
went with his half distracted sister to w hite
Hail. He would not go in but stopped at
the front gate and waited until Dora was
safely within the front yard.
The general could scarcely believe his
ears when a servant knocked at his door
and told him his wife had come. He opened
the door, and, seeing Dora sitting on the
horse burst into tears and exclaimed:
Thank God. / never expected to see you
alive. And so you have not yet fallen
victim of the vendetta?"
No. replied Dora as servant assisted
her in dismounting. They didn't kill me,
but they tried mighty hard.
She rushed to the general and threw her
arms around his neck and they wept to-
gether. 1t is generally believed that the
general will have Clell Richardson arrested
for shooting al Dora and will prosecute him
to the fullest extent of the law.
