beaten by Otto Sirloff, Of Detroit, at
the Chicago Athletic Club Saturday
night. In the first round Garrard had
slightly the better of it. bringing
blood by a stiff left on the mouth.

second round, and in less than thirty
seconds Garrard went down with a
right on the jaw He was up imme-
diately and down as quick as he was
up. Sirloff knocked him down eight
times and hammered him all over the
ring. Garrard was covered with
blood and very weak when the round
closed In the third he managed to
land two light ones, but Sirloff put a
right on Garrard's jaw that sent him
helpless to the ropes. Two more
punches finished Garrard entirely, and
although he was still on his feet he
was so dazed that Referee George Siler
pulled Sirloff off, and gave him the
fight. 1t was several minutes before
Garrard was able TO stagger from the
ring. The bout was to have been for
six rounds. George Kirwen, of Chi
cago, Immediately challenged Sirloff

A Register reporter met Mike Farra-
CHER yesterday afternoon in Bridge
port. In talk with him concerning
the squabble between him and Charlie
Burns, who is matched to fight Buck
Stolzer on the evening Of March Sd,
before the Bridgeport Athletic Club.
Farragher said that Burns had better
get through with his contest with
Stolzer before he attempts to secure
a match with anybody else. Should
anything befall Stolzer during his
training that he should not be able to
meet Burns, nothing would please me
better than to take his place. Al
though l did not intend to give weight
TO anybody anymore, I would let
Burns weigh a ton, and when the con-
test was over he would not want any
extra photographs taken either"
1t is evident that Faragher has be-
come proficient in one Of the great ac-
complishments of the championship
aspirants. Farragher will box John
Parry, Of Homestead, in East Liver
pool. He has started boxing class in
Bridgeport, and already has twenty
pupils.

News and Gossip from All Quar-

Joe Bruner, the clever little ban
tam, returned last night from Cincin-
natl. Joe is very favorably impressed
with Wheeling, and stated to a Reg
lister reporter last night that if he can
secure employment here he will make
this city his homo. Bruner was sur
pTised when he reached Cincinnati to
find that Al. Ducase had industricusly
circulated reports that he lost his
match with Bruner because he was
"doped" by his second, and that other
wise he would have won easily. Bru-
ner promptly offered to fight for any
sum Ducase could raise. The fact Of
the matter is that Ducase was lip
against a proposition which he could
not solve. Ducase, It is said. will be
reinstatod On the track during The
coming summer. He would better FOL
low that profession.
Joe Bruner, on the aacice Of some
of his friends, has decided to go aft ~

if either the Metropolitan or Bridge
port Athletic Clubs will offer a purse
for the contest. This will be neces-
sary, as Flanagan will not come here
without sufficient inducement.
Harry Weldon, of Cincinnati, sport
ing editor of the Enquirer, told Bru
ner that he will probably come to
Wheeling to witness the contest be-
tween Oscar Gardner and O'Keefe, be-
fore the N. A. c., or the Stolzer-
Burns battle before the B. A. c. A
brother of Burns accompanied Bruner

ard, cattle dealer Of Abilene, Kan, who
is $4,000 short on Gillett, the Kansas plung
er, passed through Las Vegas this morn
ing en- route from Mexico to Topeka, where
he will ask the Governor to issue requisi-

the custody of the Kansas state authori-

on Gillett's trail for ten days. They dis
covered his whereabouts in Chihuahua city.

for the defective extradition laws. 1t was
considered best to leave the two detectives

could be arranged to capture and extradite
them without the possibility of hitch in
the proceedings, Governor Ahumada was
called upon. Howard says the Governor
treated him most kindly, and after hearing
his statement and the story of Gilletts
conduct verv strongly intimated that, not
withstanding the extradition laws, properly
executed legal documents on behalf of the
American authorities would fetch Gillett
back to Kansas. Mr.. Howard further stated
that he had at Albuquerque telegraphed last

PROBABLE DOUBLE MURDER.
Jealous Youth MOrtalIy Wounds His
Cousin and Kills Her Escort.

MISSOURI CITY, Mo-, Dec. s.--What will
undoubtedly prove to be a double murder
was committed tonight in country
church, two miles from Missouri City Miss
Della Clevenger was shot down, mortally
wounded, and her escort to the meeting
house, George Allen, was instantly killed
The murderer was Ernest Clevenger, cousin
to the young woman who was one of his
victims. The tragedy occurred Immediately
after the congregation had been dismissed,
and the worshipers were leaving the
church. Young Allen and Miss Clevenger
Were walking out together. Ernest eleven
ger, armed with a revolver, slipped up be-
hind them, placed the weapon close to Al
lens head and fired. His victim fell dead at
his feet and at the same moment the assas-
sin turned the weapon upon his cousin,
shooting her in the back. She fell across the
body of her murdered escort. So Mortified
were the members of the congregation that
there was none to seize the murderer who
ran out of the meeting house and is still
at large though at late hour tonight
many men are out searching for him.. The
indications are that If Clevenger is caught
he will be roughly handled. The tragedy
was due to young Clevenger's insane jeal-
ousy of his cousin. and this was intensified
by the fact that her father, Joseph eleven
ger, had forbidden Ernest to come to their
house.

She Is still Suffering from 'Tnno-

MADRID, Dec. S.-The impartial to-day
says the Spanish government yesterday de-
cided to telegraph to Senor Montero Rios,
president Of the Spanish peace commission,
at Paris, instructing him to again protest
against President McKinley's reference to
the Maine In his recent message to Con-
gress. Continuing, the impartial says there
is great Indignation at the American COM
missioners' rejection of Senior Ross request
for neutral investigation into the cause
of the loss Of the Maine.
A semi-official note just issued says:
Spain has been treated by the conqueror
with unexampled cruelty and is resigned to
her fate. But she cannot tolerate President
McKinley's accusation, for she is conscious
OF her complete Innocence. 1t is understood
that the government has decided to end the
Paris conference on the ground that the
discussion of secondary questions is i'm
possible"

Mr.. PECK BANQUETED.
Speech by the Commissioner General
to the Paris Exposition.

CHICAGO, Dec S.--A banquet was given
this evening by citizens Of Chicago, at the
Auditorium Hotel, in honor Of Ferdinand w.
Peck, commissioner general to the Paris ex-
position. There were over two hundred rep
resentative men present, besides a number
Of distinguished guests from the East,
South and West. Mayor Harrison presided.
Mr.. Peck. in responding to the greeting of
the chairman, referred to the necessity for
a policy of careful selection and condensa-
ton in exhibits on the part of those in
trusted with the responsibility. This is a
period of national expansion" he said, in
concluding. THE booming of the guns of
Admiral Dewey have reverberated around
the earth and awakened all Christendom to
the fact that the great American Republic
now reaches across the globe and that a ma
tion of q new century is rising on this side
OF the Atlantic. Therefore the approaching
peace festival in Paris is most opportune,
enabling, as it will, our manufacturers and
producers to place the resources and wares
OF our Nation before the eyes of the world,
which are now riveted upon us, and thus
keep step with our geographical expansion.
Your guest of tonight will endeavor to be
ever mindful of the fact that in being cho-
sen commissioner general of the United
States there has been committed to him a
serious national trust in the administration
of which there should be no Chicago, no
New York, no Boston no San Francisco, no
sectionalism, but always and only our great
Nation in all its length and breadth, wher-
ever our starry banner may float. The in
dustrial and commercial interests of our en-
tire country, from ocean to ocean, must
without fear or favor, have equal rights and
equal representation at the great forthcom-
ing exposition of 1900, that will commence
rate the passing and beginning of a CEN

Most of the newspapers favor the idea of
