nington, E. Abdell, G. w. Flanders D.
S. Myers, T. A. Herandon. Martin Rear
edon, ]. A Cuffy, G. Penny, J. Blevins,
and J. Childs. This team was organized
in 1885, and was the first degree team
in the state. For years it was recog-
nized as the best team in the United
States, having exemplified the secret
work, before the Supreme Lodge at
Omaha, and several times before the
Grand Lodge. The last time being at
Leavenworth in 1895.
The team from No. 1sS is composed of
c. B. Wright, captain; J. H. Runyen,
A. G. Gliddon. w. H. Butler. William
Fargo, Francis Manley, John Morgan,
Albert Oleson, L. M. Penwell, Roy K
fuludl1, lrall RauD, a. u BuSh and
J Ohm Hoffman. This team was organ
lied in about the year 1S95,and although
never claiming any great superiority,
have always been recognized as a hard
working and very proficient team.
The team from lodge No. pa is com
posed of Henry Wolff, George Bartell
II. c. Lang, John S. Cady, S. L. Martin
Lee Batty. c. F. Woodward, George w
Banter, G. E. Gustin C. NJ. Jamison,
George E. Layne, E. C. Haubach, E. E.
Van Zant, c. o. Pierce. James Harris
and Samuel Reblin. This team was or
ganized in 1895, and has steadily forced
its way to the front, and has been one
of the leading teams of the state for the
past three years. It has exemplified the
secret work before the Grand Lodge and
called upon by numerous lodges outside
of the city to exemplify the work. The
team today is made up practically of
the same members as when first organ
lied, and won the prize in 1898
The team from No 260, is composed
of Cyrus Guthrie, captain; T. E Null
vihill, Noah Airhart, N. E. Caffety, w
E. Dwyer, F. F. Wilcox F. o. Swartz,
Thos. Hannigan, Lloyd Conklin A. j.
Westerman, Henry Bair, and William
Powell. This team is the youngest team
in the state, and the average age of the
team is just 81 years. 1t was organized
in 1896, and has had several invitations
to come to other cities and lodges and
exemplify the secret work. This team
| gives promise of becoming one of the
most proficient and best teams in the
state, and in the contest of 1898, it was
| only one-third of point behind the
team from lodge No. pa, which won the
| prize
These teams are all from the south
! side of the city, the teams of North To
| peka having decided not to enter the
| contest this year. In all probability the
contest between the teams this year
| will be exceedingly close

PUGILIST FAKES.
Aiding the Revocation of Favorable
Laws In New York.

New York, Feb. 13.-Another blow was
dealt the Horton law last night at the
Hercules Athletic club in Brooklyn in
the meeting Of George Gardiner of
Lowell. Mass, and Jimmy Handler of
Newark, n. J., who were scheduled to
box % rounds at 1872 pounds. Gardiner
knocked Handler out in the third round
with right swing on the jaw.
The men had weighed in and every
thing had progressed far enough to en-
able certain persons to place their mon
ey on the Massachusetts boxer at 5 to f.
Handler at first had been the favorite
at 10 to Z and the sudden change in the
betting was a pressage that something
was wrong. The crowd generally, how
ever, was unable to form a. conclusion
as to the reason for this until the men
had shaped for the opening round. It
was then noticed that Handler limped
Handler for several days had been suf-
arG was under a physicians treatment
The injury was caused by a blow from
an Indian club while in training.
There was a miniature riot at the
conclusion of the bout, which ended with
Handler to all intents and purposes be-
ing knocked out. Cries of fake" were
heard on all sides and it was Is minutes
before quiet was restored.
The announcer as soon as he could be
heard and entirely upon his own von-
ton, declared all bets off and subse-
quently when his unofficial decision was
reversed there was another uproar A
quantity of money had already been re-
turned by Stockholders.

Creek w. Va, Detective I. F. Feltz of
this place was shot and killed by VIM
and killed by Deputy Marshal Baldwin.
Baldwin and Feltz had traced Lee, an
escaped convict. to a deserted house
Wishing to take him alive, they re-
sorted to the plan of hiding near the
house and have a boy ride up at full
speed screaming with terror. This
brought Lee out of the house. Feltz
then ordered him to surrender but Lee
drew a revolver and shot Feltz dead.
Baldwin then fired his first shot,
wounding Lee and the second killed him
instantly.

will be known as to any future move
ment on the part of the company for
about a week and 1t goes without say

cussed and certainly no one could yet
say what the attitude of the company
will be until the new board has begun

MOLINEUX'S APPEAL.
His Attorney States Reasons to B
Given For New Trial.

New York, Feb. 13.-The Tribune says:
Barlow s. Weeks, attorney for Roland
r. MOlineuX, made a lengthy statement
to Tribune reporter, saying among
other things:
I shall move on Friday before Recor-
der Golf for a new trial of my client
before sentence is pronounced From a
denial of that motion I shall appeal on
the following grounds, among others:
''First-That the verdict of guilty was
not justified by the evidence.
'SecOnd-That the testimony with
reference to the death of Barnet was
improperly admitted.
"Third-That the testimony Of certain
experts upon which the conviction ap-
parently rests was not sufficiently cor
roborated.
I cannot at this time outlipe all the
features of the arguments pertinent to
this case
But Roland Burnham Molineux will
finally be acquitted. The finding of the
jury on Saturday night win not stand.
The court of appeals will, 1 am sure,
grant a new trial and my clients &C
quittal will follow"
Mr. Weeks said that the procedure
would be substantially as follows:
Steps to appeal viii be taken immedi-
ately after sentence has been pronounc-
ed. An appeal will be taken direct to
the court of appeals. as the case, ac-
cording to statute, will not pass through
the appellate division. The court of ap-
peals has power to review both errors
of fact and errors of law, The time
within which the appeal will be effected
will depend upon the time given by the
district attorneys office in taking up
the case. The appeal will act as a stay
of execution of sentence.
The evidence will be reduced to a mar
rative form, carrying the salient fea-
lures of the testimony. Where excep-
6ions were taken the questions and an
Ewers will be given verbatim. in order
to give the judges a clear insight into
the legality and materiality of the testi-
mony Printed briefs Will be submitted
by counsel for both sides and argu-
ments will be made by Messrs. Weeks
and Osborne on their respective briefs.
Mr.. Weeks said that when the case is
on appeal reference viii be made to

New S. Josephs German Caholc Church at Thifd and

the street from the new edifice and is
used jointly as a place of worship and
a place of education for German Cath
Ollie youth, was established several
years ago when the Church of the
Assumption could no longer accommo-
date the English and German speak
ing Catholics of Topeka. Prior to that
time :,ervices in German as we'll as in
English were held at the Church of the
Assumption. Father Henry was assis-
tant pastor of the Assumption parish
and on the establishment of St. Jo-
seph's church, he was placed in charge.
The handsome new church is a proof
that his selection was an excellent one.
With but few people of comfortable
means numbered among his congrega-
ton, the majority representing the
poorer class of Topeka. he contrived to
so control the finances of the parish

plans for the costly and handsome
structure now nearing completion
When the construction of the church
was commenced Father Henry had in
hand the greater portion of the neces-
sary funds
While the new church stands promi-
nently as a monument to the fnan-
ciering ability and hard work of the
pastor, it is no less a monument to the
devotion of the several hundred mem
bers OF the congregation. With the con-
gregation of the German Catholic
church, probably more than with any
other church in Topeka, the church
stands as one of the first cares.
The interior of the new church will
be handsomely finished, and the con-
gregation will worship before an elaDo-
rate altar. It will probably be some
time before the new edifice will be
ready for services.

a congregation representing largely
the poorer class Of the city will soon
worship in the finest church in To-
peka. The congregation is that of st.
Joseph's German Catholic church, and
the new church edif1ce is nearing COM
pletion at the corner of Third and Van
Buren, streets.
The new church is an imposing struc-
ture of pressed brick with two cross
tipped spires towering far above the
body OF the building. Its erection is due
to the untiring energy of Rev. Francis
Henry and the faithfulness and zeal
of several hundred Germans and Rus
slams Of the Catholic faith. When com
plete and ready for service the church
will have cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
