VI III LILO.
Mr.. and Mrs John Higgins have re-
turned home from pleasant visit with
friends at Pittsburg.
Miss Nellie Healy has departed for
Sistersville, where she will be a guest
of friends.
Patrick Stanton, one of a party of
expert workmen from Cincinnati, Ohio,
who arrived in the city few weeks
ago for the purpose Of putting up
large gas tank at the upper end OF
the Riverside coke plant, is lying SER
iously i'll of pneumonia at the home
of Lem Winters, of Marshall street.
Although the condition OF the patient
was slightly improved yesterday, yet
he is not considered out of danger by
the attending physician.
The social, which was held at the
NJ e. Church on Monday night under
the auspices Of the Willing Workers
of the church, was repeated last night
and was more largely attended by the
members and their friends than on the
previous night. Quite neat sum of
money was realized from the sale Of
articles in the different departments
and those having charge OF the affair
were very much pleased with the re-
suit of their efforts.
The choir of st. Johns Church is
preparing a special programme OF mu-
sic, to be rendered at the morning SER
vice at the church on Easter Sunday.
Harry Hager, of Benwcod Junction,
an engineer on one of the yard loco
motives at the Wheeling iron and

city Council will receive, very shortly,

Moundsvile and Benwood Electric
Railway Company, in regard to the
much-needed improvements In the
Cherokee Strip. AS previously men
toned, Caldwell & Caldwell the Wheel
ing attorneys, at q regular meeting of
the city Council, were engaged to in

company, and also demands that the
company's power house be located at
! point within the corporation limits

| pany's power house has been erected
at a point south of the city. 1t is
very likely that an answer will be re-
ceived from the company at the next
regular meeting of the city Council,
to be held next Tuesday evening.
| The employees at the steel depart
ment of the Wheeling iron and steel
works will hold a meeting at the city
hall next Saturday for the
purpose of considering a new
scale governing their wages, as
has been offered to the men by the
company AS has been stated in the
Register, the men demanded of the
company on the 9th inst. restoration
OF wages from the last reduction in
1897, which means an increase OF over
IL per cent on an average. However,
the scale which has been offered by
the company, slightly cuts the scale
as has been proposed by the men and
recognizes an advance in the wages of
the steel workers of 10 per cent. on an
average. The wage scale at the
Wheeling iron and steel works ex-

WARM MEETING EXPECTED
Basket Ball Directors win Con-
slider the MiIlbury Protest

What promises to be warm meeting
Of the Central Massachusetts, Basket
Ball association directors is called for
today at the Sherwood house. \ The
heat Will undoubtedly come over a pro-
test from Millbury against an alleged
violation of a rule of the constitution
by Father Mathew in the game be-
tween the teams in Father Mathew hall
Thursday evening. Father Mathew
played six men during the game which
John F. Cronan of Millbury, secretary
of the league and a member OF the
Millbury organization protests.
A week or two ago a rule was adopt
ed by the league that each team can
not play more than six men in game,
and that the substitute shall go in only
in the second half or in case of illness
or accident. If a player of team Is
incapacitated in any other way, the
team shall continue according to the
rule with but four men.
Mr.. Cronan claims the rule was Vio-
lated inasmuch as none of the Father
Mathew men were incapacitated by
reason Of illness or sickness. In this
he will be opposed by Manager j. +.
Thompson of the Father Mathew team,
who Will claim that one of his team
was in bed under a physicians care
during the entire day and evening, and
arose fer the express purpose of play
ing the game, contrary to his physi-
clans wishes.

One man who claims residence in
Paxton. called at the office of William
Hart OF the parks commission, the other
day, and, after securing his stand and
deposising the necessary installment
proceeded to unfold a tale illustrating
the willy moves of some of the Maine
brotherhood, who strike town once a
year.
The dealer in question had a plot of
ground adjacent to that occupied by the
down easter. One evening the Maine
man remarked that he was going up
street for lunch and asked his Mas
sachusetts cousin to look after his bus
mess, stipulating that in case of Gus
toners, the Maine trees were to have
second choice. A few minutes later
customer came along and would take
no other tree than an especially fine
specimen, which was conspicuous
among the number owned by the abb
sent dealer. A bargain was struck and
the tree disposed of for IS. A job wa
gon was hired, and the tree delivered
at certain church. A short time la
ter the man from Maine came back
and asked if any trees had been sold.
The dealer replied that there had. and

ed that the sum of $40 be paid over to
him, or court proceedings would follow.
The son of Massachusetts refused to be
buncoed and pushed the five spot far
ther down in his pocket in anticipation
Of what might follow.
It developed later that the crafty
dealer had put up little game on his
fellow, by having a confederate pur-
chase the tree, but the man selected
as the victim refused to be it, and the
discomfitted dealer was obliged to hire
a wagon to send for his tree, while

BROOKLYN AT MANILA
She Reaches Destination With
New Orleans at Her Heels

Washington, Dec. 16-The Brooklyn
arrived at Manila today. The New Or
leans sailed from Singapore today for
Manila SO that she is about four days
behind the Brooklyn. 1t is pointed out
at the navy department that unless
something befalls the New Orleans be-
fore she reaches Manila from Singa-
pore, she will actually have made the
trip from the United States to Ma
nila in the same or even less time than
the larger cruiser.
The Brooklyn sailed from Fortress
Monroe on her long voyage October 10,
and it was five days later, October 81,
when the New Orleans got away from
New York, so that the elapsed time oc-
cupied in the voyage, allowing the New
Orleans five days to make the run from
Singapore to Manila, will be about the
same in each case.
Capt Jewell, who took the Brooklyn
out from this country, has been re-
lieved at his own request from the
command and ordered to return to the
United States. He has completed his
tour of sea service, and will give place
to Capt Thomas, who will sail for his
station on January 6.

PASSENGER AND
FREIGHT COLLIDE
One Man Injured in the ColIisiGl
at the Exchange Street
Crossing Yesterday

Scores of passengers on the 2 o'clock
Boston and Maine train from Fitch
burg narrowly escaped injury yester-
day afternoon The train had left Lin
coin square and was squirting to Union
station. Near the Exchange street
crossing the/ rear car collided with a
freight train which had been switched
from the viaduct
The corner of the rear car was
smashed in and the upper edge was
ripped off The passengers were ter
rified, and when the train was stopped,
many were badly frightened. James A.
Quinn, passenger brakeman, was on the
platform between the second and rear
cars of the train when the crash came.
He was buried in the debris and hying
splinters had gashed his head. Wounds
in the forehead and back of the head
were dressed by De. Bennett, in Wash
ington square.
The passenger train pulled into Union
station with most of it's passengers fol-
lowing on foot. Arthur Portelance, 1879
Summer street, was engineer of the
passenger train and William f. Hurl-
burt, 81 Prospect street, was in charge
as conductor. Neither was injured.
The freight train, which was being
made UP near the viaduct was for the

DEATH IN THE RING
John L. Sullivan Talks on the
Marquis of QueenSberry Rules

Since the death of Henry Niese in
the prize ring at St. Louis, a few days
since, much sympathy is expressed by
local sporting men for Tim Hurst, ref
cree of the fight, who was unable to
stop the final blow that caused the
death. Hurst made himself popular in
Worcester sporting circles last summer
when ne umplred the Holy Cross
Georgetown ball game and remained in
this city several days.
Seven deaths have occurred in the
ring this year. Since the killing of
Niese there has been considerable talk
in this city on the necessity of chang
ing the rules so that such accidents will
be prevented. The greatest authority In
the country on Marquis of Queensberry
rules is John L. Sullivan, whose re-
marks on the subject are of great in
terest He says:
Accidents happen in the prize ring
just as they do in the street, but not
so often, by a long way. A man walk
ing carefully across the street may be
killed by electricity from a stray brok-
en- wire. A fight between two careful,
clever men may resdlt in a chance
blow or fall that kills one Of them.
There are men foolish enough to en-
ter the ring when not in condition to
nght, ana almost always these are of
the sort that are killed. If these rules
We're followed perhaps there would be
fewer deaths in the ring:
"First-The referee should stop the
fight when it is easy to see that one Of
the men is unable to defend himself any
more. The referee should order the
strong man to the corner and see that
he goes there. If this had been done at
st. Louis that fellow would not have
been killed.
"Second-E Examinations of the fight
ers should be made a week or more
before the fight by good physician and
again on the night of the fight.
"Third-Seconds or club doctors
should not be allowed to give dope to
a man when he is almost out Whisky
or brandy is all right but strychnine
and such drugs make the Knockout a
lot worse when it comes. / saw a boy
recently lay on the mat insensible half
an hour after punch. They had given
him an injection a round before he was
put out
"Fourth-The ring should be padded.
There should be no posts, as there are
now in few rings.
Prize fighting is good, honest, fair,
square, manly game if they don't mon
key with it too much"
