4 Boxer Killed.


81 LLETlN .-
PHILADELPHIA, December Prank
Barr, aged nineteen years. died late to-
night in a hospital here following a box
ing contest at the Philadelphia Athletic
Club. Joseph Kelly, who as Bars oppo-
nent, and Frank Henderson, the referee.
were arrested. For the past few days a
tournament between local amateurs has
been in progress at the club.
On Thursday night Barr was knocked
out BY a boxer who was arterward dis
qualified on the ground or professional
ism. This allowed Barr to enter the
nights finals. He boxed four rounds with
Kid White and was awarded the decision.
He then met Kelly. The first round was
fast and Kelly sent Barr to the floor
Henderson, under the amateur rules,
stopped the round. Barr came up for the
second round and Kelly so far outclassed
him that the fight was stopped Barr
staggered as he was leaving the ring
and it was decided to send him to a hos
pital. Here it was found he had a frac-
tured skull. and death soon followed.

Then they heard Morris turn in his
chair and come toward the doorway.
The first shot had been fired just as
Morris backed 1t missed the mark
and was imbedded in the doorway
The clerks, hOrrihed stepped forward
to intervene. But as they did so, Mac
Donald reached forward, and grabbed
Morris by the coat collar and dragged
him back into the auditors office. Now
the men were breast to breast. There
was not time for the clerks to rush
in and no one saw what followed i'm
mediately thereafter. but two shots
were heard in rapid succession. 1t is
evident that Morris sought to grab the
weapon from his assailant and that
his hand was over the barrel, Wuen the
second shot was fired, for his hand is
pierced, the ball then embedding in
the wall. Macdonald then put the re-
yolver close to the auditors heart and
fired for the third time. This time the
bullet struck its mark, and Morris fell
lifeless. The clerks looked and saw Mac
Donald standing over his victim. AS
they looked they saw him turn the
weapon against himself and fire. Then
he walked to the hall. Macdonald
threatened the life Of any one who
dared interrupt him. It was then that
he struck Cusick who was in the hall,
and made an effort to stop him. Go
ing to the street, he sat down On a
pile of bags. and drew the pen-knife
from his pocket, and slashed his
throat Two police officers were near
by and seized the man. He made no
resistance, and was taken to the hos
pital.
The body of Morris was lifeless
when his subordinates reached his side
The bosom of his shirt was powder
marked where the shot went in, show
ing how near the weapon was held
when the fatal shot was fired. The
remains were taken to an undertaking
establishment. and coroner hewitt will
hold the inquest on Monday, the fun

PEKIN, December 22-The last OBJ
stacle having been removed, the joint
note was signed to-day by all the for
eign ministers, including the envoy
from the Netherlands, who arrived
Only recently. The note will be de
livered to Ii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching, the ,Ch.nese pleripotentiaries,
as soon as the former shall have suf-
ficiently recovered from his indisposi-
ton. The Chinese close to Ii Hung
Chang still prefer to believe, despite
the signing of the note, which they
did not believe would take place, that
the principal negotiations must be car
ried On in Europe or America. They
resent the British modification CT the
note, for, as they say, some power or
powers might not be satisfied until
the indemnity has been paid in full,
which would mean the occupation of
Pekin for an indefinite time, as it can
not be expected that China can raise

The cavalry and infantry detach-.

there is nothing to cause alarm. All
the trouble, they say, is on the other
