Independent Conl Men Released.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA meeting of the independent coal men, comprising the anthracite operators association, was held at the Waldorf-Astoria this morn ing, when the contracts which they en- tered into to sell their coal to the Dela- ware Valley and Kingston road were re- turned to them by the Pennsylvania Coal company, which held the contracts in trust and which, by selling out to Nor gan & O., defeated the new road. This leaves the independent operators free tt deal with any carrier they see fit. As their allegiance to the new road meant a loss to them of , cents on the dollar all the time they would be waiting fol the completion of the new road, they are pleased to be released.

CoRBETT-RUHLIN HOMES.

New York, Dec 11.-Bensonhurst is
 up in arms again over the prize fighter question. This time it is confronted
 by the impending arrival of two at one time James J. Corbett has just pur- chased S10.0oO villa at Seventy ninth street and Twenty-second avenue. while Augustus Ruhlin has secured title to an $S,000 Queen Anne at Eigh- fy-third street and Thirteenth avenue. Both Corbett and Ruhlin will shortly take up residence there, and the here fofore exclusive members of society threaten to move in a body. Corbett's new home is q pretty two-storied af- fair with cupolas and a wide veranda. It was built by former State Senator William G. Reynolds. and from him purchased by the pugilist on Saturday. It is just two blocks distant from the present residence of another celebra ted exponent of fistic art, Robert F'itZsim- mons. and from the upper stories of both houses the owners can easily sur yey the other. It is likely to be a chilly season in Bensonhurst next sum- mer in consequence. Ruhlin's home is more removed, but it only takes him ten minutes to walk to point midway between, both dwellings.

WRESTLING NOTES.

The following notes are from the 'Brockton Times:
 John J. Little yesterday received a telegram from Harvey Parker, who is at his home in Byron, \. T., saying that Mrs Parker Harvey's mother, is dead, and that the funeral will be Sunday.
 Many thoughtful local followers of the game are not at all backward in saying of Little that they believe his wrestling career in this city is at an end, so far as public patronage is con cerned. Those who lost money on the recent match find but little redress in the claim of Little that he was not in proper shape. They ask why he was not.
 Bothner, Faust, Leonard, Pardello and Peining have entered for the tour nament in New York, the bouts to come off next Wednesday and Friday. It is expected Parker will compete, notwithstanding the burden of his message to Little.
 There are some in this city who be- lieve Kelly can throw Parker. The latter may give the young man a chance when he returns to Brockton It is evident that Manager Carroll is greatly elated about kelly's victory over Little. Kelly has never been heard to say he can defeat Parker
 In regard to one of the above notes the Brockton Times writer is referred to the challenge which Manager Car roll published in the Waterbury Demo crat on Wednesday of last week. He wants Parker and will match Kelly | against him at 140 pounds weight fol any sum from $500 up to $1,000. Here 1 is better chance for Parker than en tering the New York tournament, i he believes Kelly is easy fruit.

IA sharp earthquake shock was felt here Satur- day night about midnight It was the most severe that had been experienced in several years and almost created q panlc at the San Carlos club where a grand ball was in progress. It was preceded by dull sound like mine explosion. Two shocks followed. the former being cutie severe and the latter scarcely per ceptible The ballroom at the club be- came a scene of frantic excitement. Sev- eral ladies fainted. and the people rush cd into the streets, expecting another and seyerer shock. At Morro Castle d military ball was in progress. and the American ladies present had their first experience of an earthquake. They ex- pressed great interest, but little fear. No injury was done ill the city with the exception of the breaking Of dishes, though few small buildings are said to have been slightly damaged.

HARTFORD,s COMING BOUTS.

Manager Crowley. of the Nutmeg Athletic club, Hartfrd, has made up program for the Christmas afternoon exhibition at the Coliseum that is of particular merit. It includes a fight for the welterweight championship of the world between Owen Ziegler and Nlatty Matthews and a twelve-round go between Tommy Feltz and Joe Hurst There is also, q good prellml- nary arranged that will bring out Pad dy Fenton of Boston and Bill Ticker of Northampton. The Ziegler-Matthew go is particularly attractive and will draw largely. Matthews has been the champion in the welterweight class for some time and Zieg1er, by his quick de feat of Eddie Connolly before the Nut meg on Thanksgiving day and his sue cess in Philadelphia a few weeks be- fore showed himself to be getting back into his old form again. and is en- titled to a try with Matthews The fight is made for twenty rounds and will. of course, be the star event of the program Tommy FeltZ showed him. self a yeritable whirlwind when he knocked Kid Trueman out before the club on Thanksgiving day and the wish was freely expressed to see him again. In Joe Hurst he has man whom he has met three lluleS once TOT it |" ehtS five-round draw, again for a seventeen round defeat and the last time for q seven-round victory. Hurst is some thing of q whirlwind himself and the two little fellows will put up an arti cle of fight that will be lively. The preliminary will begin at 3:30 o'clock and is for ten rounds at catchweights between Paddy Fenton and Bill Tick CT. who will make an interesting pre- liminary affair. Charley White is tt referee and the usual Nutmeg price! of S1. S2 and S3 will be in order. The advantage of the exhibition takins place in the afternoon is that it enable: people from this place to attend easily and get home on an early car or train Tickets may he secured in advance by addressing W.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS

N1eriden, Dec 1.-The Meriden polo team dropped a game to the league leaders Saturday night after q fierce struggle by q score of g to 4. Both teams started off. in whirlwind fashion at the beginning of the play, and for the first fifteen minutes the contest was one of the most excellent ever seen on the local surface, ending ? to 1 in the home teams favor. In the second period, however. the locals literally fell into q trance and the wearers of the blue rolled up four goals, practically cnnching the game.
 Cusick was ore of the factors that brought about the defeat. leaving his cage at critical times and leaving open drives for the New Haven rushers. In rhe last inning Meriden woke up and Russell and Williams played lightning polo. their passing and driving being of the gilt-edge order. The home team scored thrice and the visitors twice in this period. Referee Lush's work was very unsatisfactory to the spectators. ha allowing the Blues to hold and in- dulge in rough tactics all through the game, penalizing them but twice when at least q dozen fouls were made.

 Aaronson, who is at the New York hospital, is doing nicely and expects to be about in couple of days.

He arose at II q. m. and partook of a hearty breakfast, saying he felt first rate Fender accounted for Elkes's good condition by the fact that he had not been given any stimulants during the race except a little champagne on Saturday.
 The Frenchmen. Gougoltz and Smar, like Pierce, Waller, Kaser, Ryser and the others, are suffering from indamed eyes and sore throats. Waller ex- pressed himself as being all right physically and mentally, but he didn't look it. Waller always gets more or less 'dotty' in a big race, and he gen. erally takes a day or two to recover. The winners will receive their money at noon to-day in the Hotel Bartholdi, and there are six pairs and an extra man to receive the cash.
 Stamford, Dec 17.-In a sermon to young men here last night on the sub ject Success" the Rev Herbert Carr, pastor of the First Universalist church, made the following reference to the six day bicycle race just ended in New 1 York:
 'I do not want to be understood as favoring such contests. In fact, l am sorry that the public loves them and by their attendance encourages the races. But 1 tell you this. 1 admire | the grit, the stamina, the stick-to- itiveness of the men who rode in this battle and hung on and on till the last l day for the success they won. If in l Christian work men would only hang on the way these men have hung on we would secure prizes we are not able l to win otherwise"
