yelled frantically, Foul, foul. Corbett
loses. Look at his second in the ring
Referee Kelly seemed to pay no at
tention to the matter, but kept look
ing at the fighters who continued
their aggressive work. McVey tried TO
pull away from the inspector. while
the spectators kept yelling at the ref
cree, who finally separated the fight
ers and ordered them to their corners.
Corbett seemed not to understand why
the referee should interfere and pro-
tested but Kelly stopped the bout
Meanwhile the spectators stood up
and yelled that bets should be de-
clared off, as they believed McNey
committed the breach of ring rules
premeditatedly. 1t looked for awhile
as if a riot would ensue, but as soon
as the referee declared Sharkey the
winner on the technicality, he an
nounced all bets were off, as McVey's
action was undoubtedly prearranged.
AS soon as this announcement was
made the spectators resumed their
seats and awaited the departure Of the
men from the ring.

A SIGNIFICANT VISIT
The President OF Costa Rfca Lands at
New York He Travels IncognitO

New York, November 22-Rafael
Yglesias, president Of Costa Rica, ar
rived here today on board the Atlas
Liner Altai, from Port Limon and
Kingston. With President Yglesias
were Ricardo Yglesias, his brother;
Colonel Leonzo Bonila, aide de-camps;
DR.. Antonio Guestiana and General
John S. Easement, of the Costa Rican
railway. The party will stop at the
Waldorf for a few days before pro-
ceeding to Washington. Shortly after
the Altai left quarantine for her dock
she was boarded by Colonel Carter,
of the war department, representing
President Mckinley, to welcome Pres
ident Yylesias.
President Yglesias said that as he
is travelling practically incognito and
not on national business, he was op-
posed to display. He had simply come
htce for pleasure and for the benefit
Of his health and expects to take a
trip to England and France and on
his way home will spend several
months in the United States. The visit
here at the present time, when there
is so much talk about the building of
the canal across Nicaragua, is believ-
ed to have been Brought about by the
recent concession granted to the Grace
syndicate, which goes into effect in Oc-
tober, 1899.
President Yglesias, when spoken to
about the proposed canal today said
that Costa Rica has important rights,
which it has reserved and intimated
that it was not all plain sailing for
the new syndicate. Further he would
not discuss the matter.

Emporia, Kan, November 22-Since
the sensational failure of the First Ma
tional bank, which was followed by the
suicide Of Chas. S. Cross, president OF
the bank and owner OF the celebrated
Sunnyside stock farm, there have been
rumors Of a written confession left be-
hind by the suicide. This letter was
made public tonight by VIM. Martin
dale, vice president of the bank, and
has caused sensation in Emporia,
for it is an acknowledgment by the
suicide that he has Systematically de-
ceived and defrauded, not only the
patrons of his bank, but his business
associates. The letter follows:

tunes Of myself and the bank have

A Mysterious TIo berry

Cleveland, Ohio November 22.-One
of the boldest robberies committed
here in years was perpetrated today
when the postoffice was robbed OF
eleven packages containing 800 each,
or s1,1V0. The money was in q pigeon
hole at a stamp window presided over
by Miss Mary Berry. She left the win
dow for few seconds and during that
brief time the money was taken. Four
women were seen acting in a suspic-
ious manner in the corridor Of the
postoffice just before the robbery and
the police believe one of them to be the
thief. No arrests have been made as
yet.

PASTOR SUES TRUSTEES
Interesting Suit in Justice FOwler's
Court Yesterday

For nearly three hr.'rs yesterday af-
ternoon a civil action, exceedingly in
teresting, progressed in Justice Fowl
er's court. 1t was a suit transferred
from Justice McGOwan's tribunal, and
was instituted by Rev. w. B. Slade,
cOlored, against CASTOR Hicks and
others, trustees Of Shiloh Baptist
church, corner Eighth and Walnut
Streets for pack salary. The case was
decidedly long Winded, and was finish
ed by lamp light. The testimony Of
many witnesses was heard and argu-
ment by counsel. At the conclusion
Justice Fowler reserved his decision
until 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The suit was brought for $176.75,
which the plaintiff alleged will pay him
for services rendered in the past and
that will be done, as per agreement, up
to the first of next month. He claimed
the right to recover, and secure a judg-
ment for the amount on the church
parsonage, not on the church and con-
tents. On the other hand the defend
ants admitted a part of the debt, but
cOntended that on the 18th day Of last
September the plaintiff was deposed
and consequently could not be entitled
to any salary from that time. How
ever, the plaintiff cOntrOverted this by
claiming that he was not depOSed at
that time, but was granted a leave of
absense. Above all the defendants
contended that under decisions of the
supreme court the trustees of the
church cannot be held responsible for
debt.
Marsden Bellamy. Esq, represented
the defendants, and Hon. John D. Bel
l&my appeared for the plaintiff

New Orleans, November 22.-The
American schooner W. H. Swan was
this morning seized by the United
States collector Of customs at this port
for carrying contraband goods. Be
sides $3.50 cigars which were not down
on her manifest, she had on board,
clumsily concealed, thirty-seven Maui
SER rifles, fourteen bayonets, forty
four belts OF cartridges, forty-nine
boxes of cartridges. one sack of car
tridges and three brass cannon. The
ship cleared from Santiago for a small
Georgia port and put into New Or
leans in distress and when the Gus
toms inspectors boarded her they dis
covered the cargo. The ground is
taken by the Officials here that not
only are the ordnance and arms con-
traband by not being on the manifest,
but they are the property of Spain.
