 Hartford, April 19.-Jack OBren and Dave Sullivan fought twenty-round draw at the Coliseum tonight before the Nutmeg Athletic club. Alexander Brown was unable to reach the city O'Brien objected to Charley White and W. L. Crowley, manager of the club, refereed Sullivan hit repeatedly in the breakaways and refused to break clean. This helped him considerably. The men were strong at the finish. O'Brien did the most leading and landing and should have had the decision on points. Patsey Sweeney of New York defeated Jack Lawler of Worcester in three rounds. Considerable money was up on both fights. Lawler went down four times in the second and quit in the third. Jack Dunlevy of New Britain and Clam Haynes of Springfield had six round draw. Attendance, 2,000.

FUTURE OF SPEIKT FEB REED.
He Has Entered New York Law
 Firm,

New York, April 19.--At the office of the law firm of Simpson, Thacher & Barnum, Of this city, it was officially announced to-day that Thomas B. Reed of Maine, speaker of the national house of representatives, had decided to be- come a member of that firm upon his return from a trip to Europe, which he will start on in a few days. MT. Reed was seen this afternoon at the Hotel Manhattan, where he is staying pend ing his departure Tor Europe. When asked if he would tender his resigna- ton to the house MT. Reed said: 1T would rather not talk on that subject, in fact l have not given the matter any consideration as yet" The speaker de- clined to talk about his business trans actions or intentions, and was equally reticent as to whether he would take up his residence in this city after his return from Europe, where he intends to pass the greater part of the coming summer One of the partners in the firm, MT Barnum, said earlier in the day that he could not say whether MT Reed would resign from congress, but he thought that such action would be a natural sequence.

UNCOED AN EXPRESSMa AN.
The Seemingly Impossible Accom-
 uIishrd by a Slick Game.

pIishcd by a slick Game. Detective McGrath yesterday after noon arrested on the charge of theft a man who gave the name of George Hauer and who claimed to have come from Philadelphia. It seems that Hauer yesterday went to a furniture store on Oak street kept by a man named Mar etzky and ordered a lot of furniture, paying down s1 as earnest money. He then hired an expressman named Alder man to cart the furniture to an address which he gave. After Alderman had loaded up the furniture, Hauer asked the expres ssman to loan him $5 for a short time. Alderman thinking that the furniture which was on his wagon be- longed to Hauer accommodated him to the loan and drove away with the furni- ture to the address given. Arriving there he found that Hauer was not known there and had not rented rooms there. Alderman then drove back to the furniture store and there learned that the furniture had not been paid for. He left the goods and started out to find his $5 and Hauer. Being unable to find either, he complained to the police and McGrath picked Hauer up on Church street from a description furnished him by Alderman.
 McGrath later learned that Hauer had worked the same game on another eX- pressman named Brennan, whom he had hired to cart furniture, which he claimed to have purchased, from store on Grand avenue.

SILVER REPUBLTCAN "P.ARTT.: Senator Teller mud Congressman shaf-
 roth Favor Maintniptng

Denver, Col, April 19-United States
 Senator H. M Teller and Congressman John T, Shafroth in statements publish
 ed to-day empha tically declare in favor
 of maintaining the silver republican or
 ganization, not only in Colorado, but
 throughout the union. They say that
 the silver question will be the para
 mount issue in 1900. MT. Teller says
 that the gold standard democrats will
 not be able, to control the democratic
 convention and that as in 1896 they will
 support the republican candidate. He
 says that the democratic convention
 will reaffirm the platform of 1896 and
 that the party will be allied with the
 silver republican party and the popu- list party, both of which will maintain
 the organization and lend all their aid to win in the battle of 1900.
 q cannot conceive of a political sit- uation that will induce me to favor a union with the Mckinley republicans, says Senator Teller. "The republican financial situation is one fraught with great danger to the country and one well calculated to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The republicans favor a large standing army in time of peace, of not less than 100000 men, at an expense of not less than $125, 900 to $150,000,000 per annum. It is it's pur- pose also to increase this army in pro- portion as the population of the coun- try increases. The republican party is so thoroughly dominated by trusts, syndicates and combines that I have no hope of relief in that quarter. I thoroughly believe that the continued administration of the government by the republican party, as now controlled, threatens the very existence of free government" Mr. Teller expresses no preference as to candidates, but MT. Shafroth suggests the nomination of Bryan and Town. He says there is a complete silver republican organization in thirty-two states, and at least that | number will be represented in the na- tional convention.

! friends, however we may differ in the application of this doctrine, we should all be willing to apply it everywhere.
 and if we find ourselves wrong upon in- vestigation we should be willing to cor rect our errors. l believe that in the
 great struggle that is going on the
 American people, with intelligence that
 has never failed, will apply these prin-
 ciples to the solution of public ques-
 tions, and that that solution will be
 right It may not be our way. If
 there is a better way God grant that all
 of our ideas may be overturned and
 that a better way be found. But that
 better way can only be found when the
 people set themselves seriously ana
 earnestly about the task of discovering
 it. History has shown that where one
 or a few think for all the people
 and act for all the people they also enjoy for all the people, and if we Woulo enjoy the right to life and liberty and
 the pursuit of happiness, our life must be a constant warfare against wrong. Insofar as our government has been dis appointing it's because the people nave not had a sufficient share in their own
 government. (Applause) The faults or our government are not in the people, but in those who misrepresent the Vir- tue, the intelligence and the wishes Of the people, The great trouble that we find is that government is perverted, that the instruments of government are used for rivate gain and for public plunder. Our government is the best on earth, not because it has no faults. but because people can remedy the faults when they see them. Government rests either upon the consent of the people or upon force. It cannot rest upon both. At this time we may well go back to this fundamental principle and let it be the guide to our conduct Let us go back to the foundation of the fathers and drink from the fountain whose source is near to the blood of the revolu- tion, those principles that survive until this day, let us apply them and then, my friends, this nation may enter upon a future fit for a~nations glory"
 When MT. Bryan closed there was mighty demonstration. Men and women made frantic efforts to shake him by the hand and it required the services of sev- eral policemen to rescue the speaker and escort him to a reception room He remained until the crowd had largely dispersed and then with MT. Walker he was driven to the Hotel Bartholdi. As he emerged into the street and got into his carriage he was greeted again with cheers by several hundred people. Col on Bryan said he was more than de- lighted with the cordiality of his re- ception.

SURPRISED IN THE QUAY TRIAL
THE STATE VERY UNEXPECTEDLY
 CLOSES ITS CASE.
The General Opinion Had Been That tho Proceedings Would Drag Through Many Moro Days - State Depends Largc-
 is ly for Conviction Upon the Testimony of Its Exnerf ACO0unfanf.
If Its Expert Acoo un tant.

Philadelphia, April 19.-Unexpectedly to almost every person interested, the prosecution in the trial of ex-United
 States Senator Quay for alleged con-
 spiracy closed its case to-day after nine
 days full of argument, clashes of coun- sel, and testimony largely of an expert
 nature. The general opinion had been
 that the trial would drag through many
 more days and when District Attorney
 Rothermel announced that he had com cluded there were expressions of sur-g prise from all parts of the court room.
 The end came at o'clock, just one hour
 before the usual hour of adjournment, and after a brief consultation among
 counsel for the defence and Judge Bid- dle, the latter adjourned court until to- morrow in order that MT. Quay's law yers might have time to consider what ' steps they should take with respect to the presentation of their case. It was stated that the question of entering de- murrers to the prosecutions evidence oil proceeding with the taking of testimony would be decided by the defence's coun- sel tonight. From the evidence already presented, it Is apparent that the com- monwealth depends largely for ccnvic- ton upon the testimony of its e1s,erts Meyer Goldsmith, as to his interpreta- tions of the "red book' and the other books of the Peoples bank and upon the H jury's opinion of the books papers, let-f ters, telegrams and checks offered in evidence. As to what extent the testi- mony of the defence's expert, should he be called may offset MT. Goldsmith'a testimony remains to be seen. The con- tention of the defence in argument and cross examination has been that the cal- culations of MT. Goldsmith are not borne out by the books, but on the other hand show that MT. Quay did not use state money nor receive interest on state de- posits, and athat whatever loans he re- ceived were made in the customary manner and backed by sufficient collat~ eral.

Action Ofthe NluslciaMs' Protective As
 sociation of fCincinnati.

Cincinnati, April 19.-The Musicians Protective association, labor union or ganization, has decided to boycott the coming sangerfest in this city. No member of the association will be per mitted to take part in the sangerfest. The reasons given for this action are that union labor has been employed in the erection of the sangerfest build ing; that the Thomas orchestra, not a union organization, has been engaged for the fest, and that th3 executive com mittee of the fest has disregarded propo- siticns of the association to furnish union musicians.

TRIAL OF MRS. GEORGE.
A Question in Which the Presidentso
 Name Is Mentioned is Excluded.

Canton, O., April 19.-The defense in
 on trial for the murder of George Sax
 ton, brother of Mrs. Mckinley, attempt-
 ed to introduce evidence concerning SaXton's relations with other women.
 The court barred out all such testi- mony except in regard to Mrs. Att house. This, it is believed, will have tendency to shorten the trial. Prosecut- ing Attorney Pomerene cannot find in the court records the dispositions of Mrs. George and two women in Hanoverton, which were taken in Sample c. Georges case against Saxton for damages for the alienation of the affections of Georges wife. MT. Pomerene claims Attorneys Sterling and Welty, for the defense. have them and he has appeal- ed to the court to have the papers brought into the court. Seventeen more witnesses were called to-day. It is thought the defense will close this week. Seeking to show a disposition on the part of the defendant to annoy and harass Saxton, the state asked Con- stable Jackson to-day if the replevin suits for Mrs. Georges goods in the Saxton building were not commenced the very day that President McKin- ley came home. This inquiry was ex- cluded By the evidence of Mrs. Kate Greetzinger the defense showed Saxton and Mrs George to have visited Zoar. where they were guests at the hotel to- gether. Zoar is quaint community which attracts many pleasure seekers<

Nowadays in nearly every manu-

where the process of shot making may
be seen busily carried on.
This process is an extremely inter
esting one. The typical shot tower is
divided into two stories, one floor about
80 feet from the ground, and the other
which is at the top of the tower, nearly
twice that height. On the floor of each
story is a tremendous caldron, heated
