trouble from a disreputable neighbOr-
hood not fat from the Home known as
the "I<londkc" ana strenuous meas
ure5 have bean taken to cut off the
patronage Of the inmates Of the Home.
IS will be seen by the following order
recently published:
The presence in The vicinity Of the
Home Of numerous wh;skey saloons of
a low class, and other disreputable
places. has brought about an intolera-
BILE condition.
Members OF the Home are made
drunk. often beaten and abused. and
sonnet mes robbed. in the worst Of these
joints.
For the good Of the veteran soldier,
who deserve protection instead of in
jury, and for the reputation Of a grand
institution whose mission is a noble
beneficiary work. a stop shall be put
to the evil.
These saloons and notorious resorts
in the neighborhood OF the Home can
not live except through the patronage
of Home members. and the Home will
no longer continue to shelter and pro-
vide for men who use their pension
money and other means to maintain
this disgrace and danger at it's very
gates.
1t is therefore ordered that all mem :
bers of the Home are forbidden to visit
any place in the territory north of
Lansing and south of what is known
as the Black Bridge, on the pike. under
penalty of expulsion from the Home.
Civilian employees who frequent these
places will not be retained.
Members of the Home. of the band,
or other Home employees who have
families in the territory above named.

TOMMY RYAN WINS BOUT.

Chicago, Nov. 2,.-Tommy Ryan, who
now claims Chicago as his home, de-
feated Kid Carter of Brooklyn. in six
rounds at Tattersalls. tonight. before
a crowd Of 5000 people. Ryan had the
better Of the mill all the way with the
exception of two intervals in the first
and second rounds. when Carter sent
him to the mat with right swings.
Carter was beaten fearfully about the
head and face, and although he Went
the limit. he fought the last three
rounds without knowing much what
he was doing, except that there was a
man in front of him, whom he had to
hit. He fought gamely to the last and
his superior weight and strength was a
heavy handicap to Ryan. The latter,
however, was much too clever for Car
ter and got inside nearly every swing
he made and blocked three out of FIVE
blows that we're sent to his body.
George Silver awarded the purse to
Ryan amid loud cheers from the crowd,
the applause being fully as much for
the game boy from Brooklyn as for
the victor.

FOUNDED IN FRAUD.

Boston, Nov. "a severe charge
against a corporation formed in Maine
was contained in an opinion handed
down in the supreme court. this after
noon. 1t came on the plaintiffs excep-
tons in the case Of John G. Williams
vs.. Joseph T.. Patrick, and the cxccp-
tons were sustained.
The suit vas brought on an agree
mcnt made by the defendant to refund
to thep laintiff $500. which was paid
FOR shares, constituting a one-fourth
interest in the Surety Rusture Com
pany Of Kittery. Me, should the plain
tiff SO elect and assign his stock to the
defendant one year from the date of
the agreement. which was April 3.
1898.
The ruling is held to have been wrong
in view of the evidence that the corpo-
ration was founded in fraud, and that
the stock was worthless from the time
it was issued, and the plaintiffs testi-
mony that in February or March. 1882
he called on thed efendant and tender
cd the stock, and demanded back his
money. when the defendant refused
and ordered the plaintiff off his premis
es and told him not to darken his door
again. and that he was afraid of the
defendant. and would not dare to go
near him. The court says that the
plaintiffs testimony, taken in connec-
ton with the other evidence. would
have warranted the jury finding that
the tender of the assignment of the
stock at the end of the year was waiy-
ed by the defendant and that the de-
PENDANT would refuse the stock If it
was subsequently rendered.

THE SULLIVAN FUNERAL.

London. Nov. 27.-With all the po,np
and circumstance which might have
attended the obsequies of member
of the royal family, the remains Of Sir
Arthur Sullivan, who died here, Thurs
day last. were inferred in st. Paurs
cathedral, Tuesday afternoon.
Long before the hour fixed for the
first portion of the services in the
chapel royal. immense crowds assem-
bled in the vicinity of the late resi-
dence of the deceased and st. James
palace. while every point of vantage
around st. PauIs was taken up hours
prior to the arrival of the cortage.
The immense crowds lining the route
traversed by the procession testified
to the widespread sympathy of the
public, while both the chapel royal and
st. Pauls We're filled to their capacity
with privileged ticketholders. Repre-
sentatives of every phase Of society
participated. The Queen. Emperor VIII
liam of Germany. the Prince of Wales
ana other royalties were represented.
while the musical and dramatic world
attended in force. The presence of Jo-
Seph II. choate, United Ste tes ambaS-
sador. and other diplomats. testified 10
the international position held by the
dead composer. The coffin was embed
ded in magnificent floral tributes sent
from far and near in such numbers
that they filed four glass hearscs.
Just as Mr. Choate. with Mr.. Charles
Wyndham, Mr.. George Il. Sims and
other well-known persons arrived at
The chapel royal, the attendants re-
ceived orders to close the doors as the
chapel was fun. Mr.. Choate expostu-
lated and showed his card of admis-

marked in a low tone The Anglo

FIGHTING CORN CORNER.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Frantic efforts are
being made by shorts caught in the
Phillips corn corner to swamp him
with grain on the last day of the OPP
ton. The way in which they hope TO
down him and get themselves out of q
tight place is by re-inspection of this
weeks receipts, which have been grad
ed No. g. one grade too low to pass on
contract.
Another scheme which has been
evolved for the purpose OF swamping
Phillips is the re-purchase and ship
ment to Chicago Of corn which was
sold by the Paths in Buffalo and Mon
treal. when they went out of the deal
in October. Predictions are freely
made that the last day Of the deal will
see corn at IS cents bushel.
