Athletic club, in fifty-fve seconds. Fin
negan landed the first blow as they came
to the center of the ring, and jeffries then
put his left on the Pittsburg mans jaw
and he went to the floor. Finnegan came
up in a few seconds only to be sent to
the floor again, with blow in the same
place He stayed down longer this time,
and when he again rose he was in Wis,
ible distress. He had hardly assumed q
fighting position before the champion put
his left In the pit of his stomach and
Finnegan went down, completely out.
Referee Siler counted the seconds off
and when he stepped back it was seen
Finnegan was crying. He staggered to
his feet, reeled against the ropes. and his
seconds rushed into the ring and carried
him to his corner. It was several minutes
before he recovered sufficiently to leave
the ring.
Jeffries said he weighed 22O. but he look
ed thirty pounds heavier Finnegan
weighed but $50, and looked like a boy
beside the champion.
In the preliminaries George Gibbs, of
Cleveland, knocked out Shorty Cross, in

TOUCHED him FOR FIFTY
JAMIE RENNIE MEETS WITH SAD
MISFORTUNE IN THE SAINT
LY CITY.
LOST HIS WINTERS WAGES
Meets Stranger Who Suddenly
Discovers That He Has to Pay
Heavy Freight
Bill.

1t was indeed a hard luck story that
James Rennie told yesterday to the po-
lice at the central station. In brief, he
had been buncoed out of $50. The trick
was turned by the ancient, mosS-b backed
game of overdue freight bill.
Rennie is a Scotchman, thirty five years
old, whose wife and family live at Red
wood Falls, this state. They have been
over from the old country but a year, and
Rennie has been working in the woods all
winter. Yesterday morning he arrived in
St Paul. on his way home. At the union
depot he fell in with a farmer-looking
man, gray haired, with a short gray mus
tache and wearing a cap. The man said
that he lived at Springfield, in Redwood
county. had farm there, and was In
St Paul to hire men to work 1t during
the coming season. Did Rennie want
job?
He certainly did. and would be glad OF
an opportunity to work so near his home
and family. So the two men walked up
Slbley street together and discussed the
matter, settling the question of wages
and some other trifies Near the corner
of Seventh and Jackson streets the man
from Springfield went into block, but
soon returned and, with Rennie, extended
the walk up In the vicinity OF Eighth and
Temperance streets.
Here came the denouement A brisk,
well-dressed chap suddenly accosted the
Springfield man and presented the pro-
verbal freight bill and demanded the i'm
mediate payment OF $50, or certain farm
utensils needed for spring seeding would
never find its way out to the Spring
field mans homestead This was bad and
the Springfield man was temporarily in
quandary Had Mr. Rennie $50 about him
Mr.. Renhie had $50 and some change. lie
loaned the Springfield man $50, under
promise that the matter would be imma-
diately taken care of on their way out
to Redwood county. Then the dapper
young freight clerk went away. Directly
afterwards the Springfield man passed
mysteriously away between two buildings
near the Stees block. on Seventh street,
and Rennie saw him no more.
So Rennie was left with but S. of his
hard-earned savings and a wife and chill
dren in Redwood Falls waiting for his re-
turn, and dependent on that money for
their living. In the afternoon he went
to the central station and reported his
loss. The matter was placed in the hands
of Detective Meyers for investigation.
There is little hope, however, that Rennte
will be rewarded by another sight Of his
money. The smooth con men have too
long a start of the detectives, and will,
likely. be spreading their nets for new
game today.
When seen last evening by a reporter
for the G o e, Rennie was quite de-
spOndent. AS he has been in this country
but a short time, he Is not so much to
blame for the loss of his money as 9TH
ers who are gold-bricked and buncoed 80

every city

Prominent Features i'm the Mark et
During the Week.

HEO"Aheht FesltureS IN the MnrE6 e [
During the Week.
NEW YORK. April 6-Bradstreet's re-
view tomorrow will say:
Reactions were prominent features
this week, though buIlish sentiment
seems to prevail in speculative quarters,
and nothing Of a general character oc-
Cured to depress values. London con-
ttnues to sell Americans with the same
aVidtty 1t had exhibited in the preceding
fortnight. Foreigners, in fact, were SELL
ers Of quite a fair proportion of our
stocks, which they had been freely buy
ing. Manipulation by pools and large
interests In various parts of the railroad
stock list was again very apparent, and
on the other hand, realizing sales by
both professional and outside spectators
were on large scale.
Commission houses report that the i'm
provement shown in the volume of busi-
ness for the public has not been main
talned, although the recent activity has
undoubtedly resulted in attracting many
participants who have not been in the
market since last year. 1t was also no.
dceable that the moderate declines in
the more important railway stocks were
soon checked without artificial aid from
the bull pools.
The activity of the week, as far as
railway stocks We're concerned, continued
to center in the Pacific and granger
groups though more attention was given
to the coal roads, both bituminous and
anthracite. while Southern properties
also showed strength, and a number Of
neglected specialties were advanced by
the temperance of buying orders for
them.
The industrials continued to be a dis
turbing element. Some of them, like
Sugar and Peoples Gas, advanced on
shoUt covering or manipulation Federal
Steel broke rather sharply to below so
on further complications In dividends on
common stock, the payment Of which, 1t
seems, cannot be lawfully made for a
year, although the company's earnings
have been considerably in excess of divi-
dends on both preferred and common
stock
THE very favorable character Of cur
rent railroad earnings and the satisfac-
tory outlook which this spring prevails
In nearly all sections Of the land also
have sustaining effect on the spirits of
the market. 1t is noted that bonds are
in good demand and that buying has
been largely displayed in securities Of
good quality, which, until now, had been
quoted at comparatively low values"

DEFENDANT The AGENT
so SAYS ATTORNEY MUM IN BAK-
ING POWDER CASE.

The case against Andrew Schoch,
charged with violating the baking pow
der law passed at the last session of the
legislature by selling cans of the in
gradients which did not have a label
showing the formula of the contents, was
on trial before Judge Orr in the police
court yesterday.
M. d. Mum, attorney for the particu-
lar baking powder which Schoch was
charged with selling, appeared for the
defendant, and Assistant County Attor-
ney ZOllman for the prosecution. Messrs.
Palmer and Beck, representing the Re-
tail GrocerS' association, also assisted the
state in the prosecution of the case.
The witnesses examined were F. A. Dix,
travelling agent for the baking powder
company; ]. II. Tenvorde, secretary of
the Grocers' association. and A. J. Biz
mingham, secretary OF the Andrew
SchOCh company. The contention of the
company represented by Mr. Mum was
that the defendant was simply the agent
of 81 nonresident company, and that the
law passed by the Legislature was in
valid.
The contention was based on a decision
recently made by Judge Lochren to the
effect that as the law interfered with
the interstate commerce it was unconsti-
tutional Mr. Mum further argued that
the defendant as agent for the baking
powder company sold only in original
packages, and consequently could not be
prosecuted 1t is claimed that the at
tempt to enforce the law is made by
companies manufacturing an inferior bak-
ing powder, and that If the law is en-
forced it will allow such companies to
deceive the public in that after the Labels
are put on it will be impossible to dis
tinguish between what is known as cream
Of tartar baking powder and what is
known as the alum baking powder. p
Assistant County Attorney Zollman
read numerous authorities in opposition
to the claim that the company sold In
original packages, and Mr.. Mum in
formed the court that he would be ready
to submit his authorities Monday. The
case was continued.

been Jwenty-tive-round bout. at 1872
pounds. before the Broadway Athletic
club tonight. Bonner's seconds threw up
the sponge, stating that he was i'll. but
he could not have lasted another round.
West had the better of the bout from
start TO finish, and he drove Bonner all
over the ring. landing with right and left
whenever he chose. Bonner, though
bleeding from the effects of the severe
punishment he was receiving, stood up
game as long as he had the strength.
In the thirteenth round West started In
to finish his man Midway through the
round he administered a left and right
on the body and left on the jaw. which
sent Bonner to the floor He took the
count, and had barely taken his feet
when he was sent down with a left on
the jaw. He again took the count. TIL S
happened again. and when counted out
the bell rang announcing the end of the
round, and saved him.
The fourteenth round was very much
like The thirteenth, with the exception
that West failed to drop his man.
Bonner was a pitiful sight during the
fifteenth. His left eye was badly dam
aged and bled freely from a cash. Bon
ner shot out some vicious right swings,
but failed to land In d miXup Bonner
went down from sheer weakness. He
took the count.
In the opening up Of the sixteenth
Bonner tried TO land a right swing, but,
as usual, failed. Vests play was all for
the stomach. and so fierce was the beat
ing Bonner received about the body that
he was forced to quit after one minute
and twenty-five seconds of the round.
