FitzsimmOns Disguised with the New
York Fight.

CHICAGO Nov. 22.-Robert FitZsimmons
the champion pugilist, is now in this city
He has all along declared that the fight be-
tween Corbett and Sharkey would be a
fake and when seen tonight after the
result was known he exclaimed; What did
l tell you? 1 said it was going to be fake
and it was nothing but fake. McVey
jumped into the ring on purpose to stop the
fight, and it was all fixed for him to do it.
You can bet, too, that there were men right
at the ringside to hold him. The whole
thing was a put-up job, and tell you 1t
never was on the square
What will you do in regard to any chal-
lenge that Sharkey or Corbett may send in
your direction?
''Do?" said Fitz with great scorn. I'm
one Of them. They have put themselves
further away from any attention from me
than ever Let them go and get a reputa-
ton. There's Peter Maher. Why don't they
take him on a little? [ won't pay any at

champion, warming to his subject. 1t

fighter III the world anyhow, and his name
is Robert Fitzsimmons."
Fitz was full of disgust over the ending
of the fight and declared over and over that
it was job and mot on the level" Jimmy
Barry, the 105-pound champion of the world,
merely remarked: It's too bad. The big

THE CHILLY WEATHER YESTERDAY
HAD WIDE RANGE.
To-Day VIII BE Cold and Fair. IT'S
Said--Gas supply, Present and
Future.

In a fell swoop winter landed on the city
yesterday. At o'clock the thermometer
showed 20 degrees, and at the same hour in
the evening the mercury marked % degrees.
The maximum temperature during the day
was 81 degrees and the minimum was IS de-
grees. Mr. Wappenhans. the weather di-
rector, gave out the information that to-
day will be cold and fair.
One of the most noticeable results of the
cold snap was the disappearance of the
legion Of bicycles. The most of their own
ers decided that the riding season was over,
and many of the wheels began to hibernate
III dark cellars. The wise wheelmen oiled
their bicycles well before putting them
away. OF course, there are those brave men,
and women, too, who laugh in scorn at ice
and snow and cutting winds and ride their
wheels all through the winter, and they
have a contempt for the colder-blooded
summer cyclists.

ing Abilities of the Germans.

CHICAGO, Nov 22.-Baron c. E, W. Won
Fiedenfeld, German nobleman, living in
this city, shot and fatally wounded Charles
A. Mcdonald, a constable, in a saloon at
No 43 East Jackson boulevard, this even
ing. Mcdonald died at the County Hospital
three hours later. The trouble was brought
about by a remark disparaging to the Ger
mans, which was made by Mcdonald and
m4sinterpreted by Won Fiedenfeld. While
Mcdonald was explaining his remark Won
Fiedenfeld drew a revolver and fired three
shots at the constable. One OF them struck
him under the left arm, near the heart; the
second entered the left side. and the third
went wild Of it's mark, lodging in a picture
in the saloon. After the shooting Won tte-

word Turks in slang aAusion to the

the actual Turks and became highly lndig-
nant. Mcdonald was attempting to explain
his remark when Won Fiedenfeld shot him.

PLENTY OF GAS Ar ANDERSON.
A Veteran DriIler Says There IL
Plenty of 1t in the Field.

AAentN OA ~ HI the teAU
According to a dispatch from Anderson
last night the sensational report going the
rounds that gas is rapidly failing is now
said to be due to an effort on the part Of
the gas companies who want to raise rates
or secure meter law at the coming session
of the Legislature. The city of Anderson
refused 20 pay the price asked for gas and
drilled in wells for use at the city light
water works and garbage plants. 1t has
been quite successful in securing good pro-
ducers t~e -4. s.
on Monday William Decker, a veteran well
driller in Indiana, brought in the fourth
we'll for the city, and its output OF gas is
enormous. That other companies do not Sc
cure better wells, he states, is because they
do not drill in virgin territory, but have put
down their wells in territory that has been
producing gas for years IN the opinion of
Mr. Decker there is gas to be had in i'm
mense quantities yet in the Madison county
field Mr.. Decker states that the four wells
now in use by Anderson and fifth that is
to be drilled at once will furnish the city
with fuel for wears

Rcbber Gas Company scored.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind. Nov 22.-The
City Council last evening took hold of the
natural gas question and resolved that the
supply furnished by the Indiana Natural
Gas and Illuminating Company was utterly
inadequate, causing suffering and that the
pressure was unreliable, which rendered it
unsafe" and that the company had
diverted the gas for the supply at other
places. The Council demands that by Dec.
5, 1885, the company shall make arrange
ments to have an abundant supply for all
demands and have the pressure regulated so
as to make it perfectly safe to burn the
gas at all hours.

PRACTICAL IMPORTATION FOR
KLONDLKERS.

What will no doubt prove the most
practical and best illustrated magazine
article on the Klondike gold regions that
has yet been published is announced to
appear in Frank Leslie's Popular Month
ly for February. 1t is written by Henry
Clay Glover, a well-knoWn resident of Sc
attic, and treats the subject in a simple yet
exhaustive manner. After describing the
various expeditions that have set out from
Seattle for Dawson City, the author gives
some valua BILE and interesting information
to those about to embark for the gold re-
gions, including a list of necessary pro-
visions, utensils, ETC., to last man year.
This article is supplemented by one giving
a general description of Alaska, it's re-
sources, people and customs, by r. H.
Heron. There will be more than thirty
fine half-tone illustrations of scenes and
people in the gold regions and other parts
of the Territory, and handsome map of
Alaska, IL x % inches, showing the loca-
tion of the places of interest along the
Yukon and the Klondike. Those who are
preparing to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities presented lin Alaska, and those
who are only indirectly interested in the
new Ell Dorado, should by all means read
these articles.

General Grant, when President of
the United States, gravely impressed
with the Importance of this proposed
work, and always very favorable to
the Nicaragua route, recommended to
Congress the appointment of COM
mission to make an inspection and
examination of the same. The COM
mission was duly selected, performed
the duty assigned to it, and made it's
report, together with an estimate of
the cost of the construction. This es-
innate, provisional in it's character
placed the necessary expenditure for
the building and completion of such
canal by the Nicaragua route at $14O,-
100000 After this report, which was
made November IS, 1874, nothing fur
ther was done by President Grant or
by Congress in the premises.

Wise Democrats will be shy about
ascribing the troubles in cotton man
ufacturing to the tariff. There is this
much connection between the two
things. A protective tariff, in giving,
in the domestic market, certain ad
vantages to the home manufacturer
over his foreign rival, builds up the
home industry, gives active employ
ment to labor, furnishes an incentive
to invention, and thus eventually
creates the domestic competition
which sometimes, as in the present
case, results in overproduction, and
which always lowers prices. The
Democrats, however, are unwise in
calling attention to this state of things.
If, as they must acknowledge, tariff
creates home competition and lowers
prices, what becomes of their conten
ton that it hurts the consumer? If,
as happens in this instance, it Injuries
the North and benefits the South,
what becomes of the stock Democrat
ic charge that tariffs are devised in
the especial interest of the Republican
section of the couutry?-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
