M - ST. PATRICK'S SOCIETY SMOKER
Good Boxing Bouts Held Last Night.

Good Boxing Bouts Held Last Night. q St. Patrick's Y. M. T. A. B.'s gave a very pleasing smoker at their hall last evening to about 800 members and friends of members. "A fine athletic card was presented and vocal and intrumen- tai music kept the audience interested during the interval
 The first of the athletic events was a fifteen-minute wrestling bout between .Bimberg and Alderman. The latter was twenty-five pounds heavier but could get no better than draw. It was a very fine exhibition of scientific sport, refereed by Clung.
 pr. J. H. Kelley was the referee chosen for a four-round bout at catch weights between "Kid' Sturks and '.Dave" Ketchley It was the fiercest bout of unscientife punching seen here in years and was very amusing to the spectators. It was called draw, but obviously belonged to Sturks.
 Then followed three rounds by the in 'evitable but ever popular Welcome Midgets," the Brothers Bowler, at sixty pounds. It ended in scramble for small coins thrown in by the spectators. s7' TheT next event was an improvement over any preceding one, and showed Razor Miller and 'Joe' Loughlin in four very clever rounds. There was lit- tie clinching and lots of business with 7 honors easy. Referee Kelley called it draw.
 John Fahy followed with a mono logue.
 The main event was between Billy Bruce and Robert. Walsh at 135 pounds. The first round found each trying to take the others measure. Four sharp rallies had no appreciable effect on either. Though Walsh had much the longer reach, Bruce kept coming during the second, doing nearly all the leading He had shade the better of the argu- ment at the end.
 A timely duck saved Walsh from two right swings in the third, but straight left reached him once. Bruce got a left on the chin in the fourth and seemed to be holding his own. This round was re- plete with mix-ups and cllnching.
 Walsh went to his knees in the fifth, but got up strong and hammered Bruce's body hard, landing almost at will. This was Walsh's round.
 The sixth round found Walsh doing his share of the leading, and he seemed! the fresher of the two. In the seventh Bruce stepped back from two wicked left leads aimed at the stomach, but was pounded over, the kidney at nearly every rally.
 Walsh landed right and a left on the face and a right over the kidneys in'lthe eighth. With all his punishment Bruce seemed as fresh as his adversary. The ninth showed Bruce strong and willing and doing his share of the work. Walsh seemed tired at the end. At the close of the tenth Walsh looked much | the worse for wear and Bruce had ap- | parently suffered no damage This was also draw. The crowd was one of the | best satisfied that has left ring-side | here in some time.

THEFT OF srhYEn BULLION.
Charged Against Employc of n WaIIing-
 ford silver Plating Company.

Detective Sergeant Dennehy ascer- tained last night that the silver which he found James Kennedy of Walling- ford trying to dispose of yesterday was stolen from the silver-plating establish mcnt of Simpson, Hall, Miller &; Co. in Wallingford Sergeant Dennehy learn ed sometime ago that man was sell ing bullion silver at various places in New Haven at intervals of two or three months, and his suspicious were arous- ed. He resolved to ascertain who it was that was selling the silver and where it was obtained. Yesterday fore noon he happened to be on Grand ave- nue near a jewelry store, when he saw man enter the place, carrying pack age, and shortly after saw the propri- etor come out carrying the same pack age and start up the avenue. The de- tective followed up to Panlkoff's jewell ry manufacturing shop in the Hubinger building and there displayed the con- tents of the package, which proved to be bullion silver.
 Dennehy questioned the jeweler, who told him that the man who sold him the SllVer was coming Ddck to HIS StOfe later. Dennehy accordingly took the silver and went back to the Grand ave- nue< store. A short time after he ar rived there the man who had sold the silver returned to close the deal with the jeweler and was placed under ar rest. He gave his name as James Ken nedy and his residence as Wallingford. Sergeant Dennehy communicated with the Simpson, Hall & Miller shop in Wallingford and ascertained that Ken nedy worked there.
 Superintendent Andrews of the shop and Superintendent Ludon of one of the departments of the concern came to New Haven last evening and identified the silver as having been stolen from their shop. Kennedy then confessed to the theft. He was released about 10 o'clock last night on bonds for $500 fur nished by William O'Keefe and Patrick O'Keefe of this city The stolen silver weighs about ten pounds and is worth about one hundred dollars.

 The Stock Market.

New York, April 20.-Most stocks to-
 day gravitated slightly below yester-
 days level. Influences affecting prices
 were the continued strength and rising
 of sterling exchange and reports of
 damage to winter wheat, accompanied
 by strength in the wheat market. There
 was some show of strength about the
 opening, but the small outside demand
 encouraged the bears to put out short
 lines, the selling movement being most
 confident around delivery hour. The
 impression on values was not very large as a rule, and covering move
 ment left the net changes of the day moderate. Trading was of listless sort and although the dealings were about half a million shares little inter- est was manifested in the uncertain vi brations of stocks. Except for the grangers which were sensitive to crop advices the railways generally moved within narrow limits. Anaconda Min ing advanced 61a, the purchases being in some volume for London account, where the demand was reported to be to cover sales of privileges which would be called Among the specialties Con- tinental Tobacco dipped sharply, clos ing nearly ? points off. The Flower stocks were under pressure, but left off with narrow changes either way. Southern Railway and Louisville and Nashville on their joint purchase of the Southern railway held firm against large London sales, Amer ican Smelting and Refining opened strong on its first days trading in the unlisted department and then sold down. The market closed steady. The increased activity and strength in the bond market reflects investment buy ing which is very heavy in some of the newly issued mortgages Total sales $4, ,0O0, coo.
