NEW YORK. Feb 1O.-Glove hghting re-

Athletic Club last night, but the officials Of
the club this time were not responsible
The incident occurred in the fourteenth
round Of the much talked Of battle be-
tween Joe Cans. Of Baltimore. and Spike
Sullivan, Of Ireland. From the very start
Sullivan was completely outclassed. The
climax came when two minutes and seven
teen seconds of the fourteenth round had
elapsed. Sullivan. arising from another
knOck-dOwn. WAS so grOggy that he could
scarcely stand Referee Charley White in
terfered at this stage and declared Cans
the winner.
One Of Sullivan's seconds. Dan DonnelIy.
of Boston, concluded to take matters into
his own hands. When Whites back was
turned. Donnelly dashed across the ring
and struck the referee terrific blow upon
the left eye DOnnelly's knuckles laid bare
the cheekbOne and also sent White head
oVer-heels into a box. In a jiffy a rough
and-tumble fight was in progress. Police
men in uniform and in plain clothes jumped
into the ring, swinging their clubs There
were cries of Kill him," mob him" and
other pieces Of advice which were un-
needed by the police
The excitement continued for fully ifteer
minutes, and everybody with any degree Of
fairness sympathized with the injured

the market critics even express the belief
that Il IS distinctly bad. There is no good
ground for any such pessimistiC view. The
Increase In cash continues. and the in
crease In deposits is immense. From the
point OF view Of the bankers the statement
Is an excellent one in every way The re-
serve surplus Is cut somewhat, but this is
owing entirely to very heavy Increase
in loans. The loan item is a mos inter-
estng one though somewhat mystifying
II is not unlikely that in the near future
developments in the market may explain
the increase OF S2l, ,9C0, goo in loans in such
q duh market. One theory is that the
pools have been BORROWING money heavily
for a bull campaign, and that they will
begin work in earnest next week AS a
matter of fact no other theory seems 20

showing is one OF the best ever made by
so large a number Of railways from all
parts OF the country. II has very little

little business. Negatively however. the

How Detective Morgan Arrests O Man
with a Stolen Overcoat.

The perspicacity of Detective Morgan,
together with his knowledge of the GRIM
inal class. led yesterday to the arrest of
man giving the name Of Charles Allen, who
claimed he was a hotel man from New
York city. Morgan met him on the street.
Something about the man attracted his
attention and Morgan asked about an over
coat he was wearing. The mans evident
embarrassment was noted, and he was.
after being questioned further, taken to
the police station and charged with loiter-
ing. Fifteen minutes later Charles Kar-
mire. of Shelbyville, walked into the police
station and reported that his fathers
house in Shelbyville had been robbed some
time during the night and three overcoats,
a pair of gloves and muller taken. He
described the gloves and one Of the coats,
and on examination of the coat worn by
Allen and the gloves in the pockets 1t was
found they tailed with the description
given by Karmire. A visit to the cells re-
suited in finding the muffier on Allen. Kar-
mire said one of the men who had robbed
the house had been arrested at Shelby
