James 4. Reed, OF the south side,
Passes Away-One of Whee1fng's
Oldest and Best known Citizens.
In the eighty-third year of his life,
James T. Reed, after a long career,
marked only by usefulness and up
rightness, passed quietly away at
o'clock yesterday morning at his home,
2129 Market street, after being beset
but few days with ills occasioned by
advanced age.
He was for almost a half century
engaged in the drug business, his last
identification with that business being
at the head of the firm of Reed, Robb
& BREEDING, at the time of his retire
ment, about twelve years ago, from
active life. He was succeeded by his
son, John T. Reed, the present head
of the firm.
The deceased is survived by widow
and four children, John T. Reed,
Charles Reed, business manager of the
Ohio Valley Manufacturer, James
Reed, of Washington City, and Miss
Anna Reed.
The funeral services will be held
from his late residence on Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock. The interment

EVEN MONEY

Was Wngered in the McGovern-Erne
BattIe-Terry's Victories.
There were a number Of Wheeling
sports who backed Erne at even money
to win the decision over Terry Meow
ern. They figured that the Brooklyn
boy was going out of his class to meet
a champion in another class. They
thought McGovern would meet the
same fate as Gardner When he several
times conceded weight to an oppon-
ent. As result of his victory, it
would be difficult now to get a bet
against McGovern at any odds.
Terry McGovern started his pugilis-
tic career April II, 1897, when he won
from Frank Barnes. of Brooklyn, in
ten rounds. He fought thirteen more
battles that year, winning eleven ond
drawing two. He fought fifteen bat
ties in 1898, winning twelve, drawing
two, and losing decision to Tim Gala
han on foul. In 1899 he met and de-
feated seventeen fighters. His fight
with Erne was his twelfth since Jan
uary 1st, 1900

TROUBLE IS FEARED.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 1.-THE
recent visit of the British cruiser Alert
to Ciudad Bolivar, to investigate the
murder of Vice-Consul Lyall, caused
much commotion among the Venezue-
lans, which still continues, and is sure
to breed friction. British subjects took
advantage of the visit to represent to
the Captain of the Alert wrongs sus-
tanned at the hands of the Venezue-
lans and asked for relief. Captain Sa-
vile refused to interfere, referring the
compliments to the British Consul,
which gave rise to considerable dis
content. Relations at present are
much strained between the British res
idents and natives of Ciudad Bolivar.
and trouble is feared.
