M 'KINLEY'S CARD.
OF Membership In StOnemasons'
Union to Be Personally
Presented.

Chicago. Sept. 1S.-The Times-H Herald
says:
The bricklayers and stonemasons' un-
ion of Chicago at it's regular meeting
last night voted to issue a card of
honorary membership to William Nc
Kinley, president of the United States,
so that when he handles a trowel in
laying the corner stone of the new gov
ernment building October he may not
be branded a "scab."
According to the present plan the
card of honorary membership will be
personally presented to President Nc
Kinley in Chicago on the morning of
the day set for the ceremonies by
George p. Gubbins, president of the
Bricklayers and Stone Cutters union
The organization instructed Financial
Secretary VIM. A. Stamm to make out
the card and to notify President Nc
Kinley by letter that he had been made
an honorary member of the body. The
letter will probably be sent today.
Only four honorary memberships have
been issued by the bricklayers before
the one to President Mckinley. Cards
We're made out to United States Sena-
tor VIM. r. Mason and to the late Con-
gressman Frank LaWler, when they laid
the corner stone of Bricklayers' hall,
which is the headquarters of the or
ganization. VIM. G. POmeroy, president
of the Walters alliance, is an honorary
member. The late Mayor Carter H
Harrison also held a card of honorary
membership.

FOUND HIS MATCH.
s'TOmmy" Sears Nearly Knock
ed Out by a Topeka
Amateur.

The prize fight that Sheriff Cook.
Jailer Lawson and officer Bundy were
looking for was pulled off about a mile
west of town near the Rock Island
tracks.
Tommy Sears, who poses as the 1876
pound champion of England, was to
stop Joe Curry, a coIored boxer, in 10
rounds. Instead of stopping him, Cur
ry came near knocking out his man
several times and although the match
was called a draw, it was clearly in
favor of the cOlOred man. The ring was
rather small, not being more than II
feet square. Gasoline torches were used
for light and about so devOteeS of the
ring watched the exhibition
1t was about nine o'clock when Curry
stepped into the ring, followed by Pet
ers, his second. Sears was followed to
his corner by Wade Watts. The purse
was to be $50 and all to the winner, but
the manag gers and the crowd had some
words and $25 was all that was raised
Sears mana gers wanted Curry to make
the go four rounds. Curry refused and
they wanted to agree on six, but Curry
would have nothing but what was
agreed upon, ten rounds.
Sears expected to have no trouble in
landing his solar pleXus blow and fin
ishing his antagonist easily, but he did
not know his man. The first two
rounds were lively but aVailed little
for either of them. Early in the fight
Curry fouled Sears and the referee was
ready to award the fight to Sears, but
he refused to accept the decision, say
ing that if the fight was so short it
would be called a fake. Curry was
bleeding at the mouth and both con-
testants were covered with gore. In
the third round Sears rushed the fight
ing and knocked Curry to the ropes.
Curry was unable to come up and held
to the ropes. Time saved him.
In the sixth round Curry went
after his man, landing at will.
With a blow on the chin he land
ed Sears on his back. Sears sprapg to
his feet and again went down under a
heavy right hook.
The seventh was full of lively spar
ring and in the eighth Curry went after
his man again and with heavy left on
the body followed by a right on the
chin, he knocked the Englishman clear
over the ropes
In the ninth the fighting was lively
and at no time did Sears stand a chance
to stop his man.
In the tenth Curry was after his man
and in excellent condition while Sears
was bloody from a cut over his left eye.
Curry was about to put his man out
when time was called. The referee
called the fight a draw, although Cur
~ was easily the winner. Some of
Curry's friends claimed that time was
called sooner than it should have been
in order to save Sears, but the time
keeper claimed that full time was
given
Curry was a good deal of a surprise
to his antagonist and his hackers who
thought Sears would be an easy win
ner. The foul on the part of Curry was
claimed and the money was divided
equally.

STATE OFFICERS SUED
III. E. YOunkfn Wants Executive
Council to Recognize His
Claims.

IN. E. Younzin VS.. W. T. Stanley,
governor; George Clark, secretary of
state; Frank Grimes, treasurer; A. A.
GODDARD, attorney general; George Z.
Cole, auditor; Frank Nelson, superin-
tendent of public instruction, consti-
tuting and composing the executive
council of the state of Kansas" is the
title of a suit filed in the district court
of Shawnee county today.
1t is a mandamus suit although there
is nothing about the petition in the
case to show, for the reason that after
the allegations are made the petition
stops without stating what it wants.
However, the matter was presented to
Judge Hazen and he allowed an alter
native writ of mandamus to be issued
against the state officers.
A little over a year ago Mr.. Younkin
was awarded the contracts by the
Leedy administration, for hauling the
coal for the state house from the rail-
road to the state house, and for haul
ing the ashes away again, for which he
was to receive S65 per month. The con-
tract began July 1, 1898, and was to
continue one year.
But in the meantime there was a
change in the administration, and Mr..
Younkin was notified that he need not
do any more hauling after May Is of
this year, as the executive council had
appointed someone else in his place.
Mr.. YOunlxin claimed that he had a
contract to do the work for a year, but
the council cOntended that he was only
an appOintee of the Leedy administra-
tiOn, who could be removed at any
time, and they proceeded to remove
him.
Mr.. Younkin presented bills under his
contract for the last half of May and
for the month of June, but they were,
of course, turned down by Auditor Cole.
Now Mr.. YOunkin brings this manda-
mus suit to compel the executive coun-
ell to pay him what he claims is due
him under his contract. He files copies
of the advertisement for bids which was
made by the Leedy administration, of
his bid for the work and of the entry
made in the minutes of the executive
council awarding him the work

OCEANIC IS SIGHTED.
The Big Steamer Makes the
Trip In Six Days and
Two Hours.

New York. Sept. 13.-The mammoth new
steamer Oceanic of the White Star line,
which was looked for by many all day
yesterday was sighted east of Fire Island
at o'clock this morning. She left
Queenstown at 12:45 p. m, last Thursday
and estimating she will reach the light
ship at 10. O'clock the time of her pas
sage will be about six days, two hours.
1t is probably that owing to her great
draught she will not attempt to cross the
bar till high water, which is at half past
one this afternoon at Sandy Hook and so
her appearance in the upper bay can
hardly be expected before o'clock
4 e time made by, the Oceanic may be
considered very good coming through the
heavy gales that have been reported on
the Atlantic during her passage and COM
pares favOrably with that of the swiftest
of the ocean, steamers in such weather
bearing out the claim that with her pow
erful engines she will make regular
schedule time regardless of weather con-
ditions. AS compared with ocean records
there are a half a dozen steamers on the
Queenstown route westward that are
ahead of her the best of which are that
of the Lucania,, fye days seven hours and
% minutes and Teutonic, five days six
teen hours and 81 minutes.

SHAMROCK'S BAD LUCK.
The Cup Challenger Meets With a
Serious Accident

New York, Sept. 13.-The Americas
cup challenger Shamrock was started
for a run over the measured course Off
Sandy Hook. Four minutes later, while
the yacht was going dead before the
wind at a twelve knot pace the jaw of
her aluminium gaff was carried away.
The end of the spar stuck out beyond
the mast on the after side, jamming the
throat halyards. Captain Hogarth kept
the yacht on her course, stacking away
the peak halyards as much as possible
and after ten minutes he was able to
bring her in the wind.
There was danger every moment of
the gan going through the main saiL
By the constant strain and swinging of
the gaff it broke about ten feet out
from the jaws. AS the sail would not
come down men were finally sent aloft
to cut it clear of the hoops on the mast.

WRIGHT ENJOINED.
Justices of the Peace Must Keen
Hands OFF Topeka Affairs.

If it hadn't been for Judge Hazen and
restraining order, A. f. Collum,
special constable of T. T. Wright's JUS
tice court out in Soldier township,
would have taken SO worth of groceries
out of c. H. Roofs grocery on Eighth
avenue east across the Shunganunga.
and would have sold them at public
auction today.
Mr.. Roof did not care to have his
goods sold in that manner, however. es-
pecially as long as the receipts were
not coming in his direction, and he ap-
piled to Judge Hazen Tuesday after
noon for an injunction to head off the
sale. 1t came about this way:
Justice of the Peace A. F. Chesney
claims that Mr.. Roof owes the costs
for a certain suit in his court Mr.
Roof thinks otherwise, and Justice
CheSney could not collect what he
claimed was due him. The Justice in
Stituted a suit for the amount in JUS
township. Mr. Roof claimed that Jus
tice Wright had no jurisdiction in the
suit and he paid no attention to it, and
Justice Wright gave a judgment for SO
to Justice Chesney. Mr.. Roof refused
to pay the judgment, and Justice
Wright issued an execution directing
Constable Collum to sell enough of Mr.
Roofs groceries to satisfy the judg-
ment. The sale was duly advertised for
today and had it not been for Mr..
Roofs injunction suit the sale would
have taken place.
In applying for his injunction Mr..
Roof says that he warned Justice
the case as both parties to the suit
were residents of the city Of Topeka,
but he says the justice went ahead and
heard the case to get his fees out of it.
