WITH THE BOXERS.
The Pueilistic Record of Last Year a
Remark kable One.

| Remarkable One.
The year 1899 was the most remarkable
of the world in a fstic way. There were
| more boxing contests, bigger purses, and
| more OF them were in the balance more
| new champions were made and more
money was paid to see the sport than ever
before. The bouts fought numbered 1920.
Four hampions-Fitzsimmons Layigne,
| Palmer, and Jordan-lost their places Of
| honor. Two of them-Palmer and Jordan
went the unfortunate way Of all the
| English boxers who crossed the ocean to
| fight here not one of whom was vietori-
Gus. The year 1899 with so many legal
lied matches under police surveillance,
witnessed practically the extinction Of
fighting in public or private with bare
| knuckles, according TO London prize-ring
rules
The worlds champion bantamweight,
Pedlar Palmer. of England. went down be-
fore Terry McGovern in one round; Ben
Jordan, of England. lost TO Eddie Santry:
Frank Erne won the lightweight cham
pionship from George Lavigne, and Fitz-
simmons lost the heavyweight champion
snip 10 James JenrleS.
The full list of British boxers who came
over includes Palmer, Jordan. Godfrey
Thorne, Will Curley, Harry Ware, and
David Wallace. Thorne won one fight. 1t
was from Purcell, who lost to Jack Mof-
fatt. Ware went home without going into
the ring.
McGovern heads the list of pugilists in
number of engagements fought in 1899 and
also in number of fights won. They were
20 in number. all victories, and 10 were
knockouts. He lost none and had no
draws. In all these fights he only fought
seventy-three rounds, the actual fighting
time of which was but three and one-half
hours, not counting the rests between
rounds and taking nine minutes off as a
liberal estimate of the time between
knockouts and the proper expiration for
the knockout rounds.
Martin McCue follows next, with 10 con-
tests, winnings, draws. and l defeat
Yet in these McCue fought 332 rounds.
Joseph Cans is twelfth in the number of
contests. He had Is engagements and lost
Ito George McFadden. Twelve were
won, 3 were knockouts, and were draws.
He fought 222 rounds.
Patrick Sweeney, of Manchester n. H.,
made the second best record of all the
fighters. He is a lightweight. He fought
and won 16 times and were knockouts.
He went 1872 rounds.
OF the 1920 contests. 66S went the lin
it, and the referee gave the decision. The
knockouts were 70S; in 60 events one of
the men quit; fouls decided 80 cases, and
there were 524 draws.

BE Prohibited by IL.

DES MONIES. Iowa. Jan. 23.-The last
legislature passed a bill against prize
fighting, but il has been practically inop-
erative. because 1t permitted exhibitions CT

passed to prevent such occurrences in the
future. a bill to that effect has been in
troduced by Senator G. W. Lister. of Osce-
ola county. The penalty is fixed at $500, or
Imprisonment in the county jail for not

Greater Care of Papers.
1t has been discovered by officials of the
War Department that considerable fraud
exists in the discharges of enlisted men,
and steps have been taken TO prevent the
continuance of the pratice
The attention of company commanders is
called TO the fact that several instances
have of late occurred of fraudulent use Of
blank discharge certificates. indicating a
disregard on the part of some of the Off
GERS of the requirements Of paragraph 151
of the regulations. Blanks for discharge
certificates should be kept in the personal
custody of commanders. and they are eau
toned that such blanks should be in a
place where access to them on the part of
any unauthorized person will be impossible
except by knowledge of the company COM

The stock market continued dun and Vn-
Interesting this morning It's secondary
characteristic was a JTifiug weakness in
stead OF the strong tone that has been
shown for the past week or more. The
bears took advantage Of the continued lack
Of decisive news from South Africa and
the general apathy Of the bulls to make a
small drive at prices. Before noon the de-
cline all over the list had been somewhat
more than The gains of yesterday so that
the level was above that Of the low on Sat
UTday. IL seemed probable that this con-
dItion might prevail during the entire ses-
HlCn and even perhaps tomorrow In The abb
sence of important news. The declines are
not however, considered TO be of any par
ucular Importance by the friends OF a bun
market. They will lead to purchases Of
good securities at the lower prices in the
well grounded belief that a strong upward
movement viii soon begin. Money this
morning was loaning at 3 1-2 per cent.
The gross earnings Of the Northern Pa
sific for the second week of January show
an increase of sS4.75O. The increase since
July / has been 81, ,7l4. .662.
The December net earnings statement
Of the Northwest shows s.. .2gl $50. an in.
crease of SlS,975, and for the six months
ending December 81, sec, ,573. .030 an in
crease of SO. 400, 7S6. The gain for the last
OF the six months was not so large as
many had expected, and not SO large as
in any Of the previous months for rea-
sons which are well known. Already,
however. both the gross and the net earn
ings of this system and Of other grangers
have begun to improve rapidly since the
beginning Of the year, because Of larger
general traffic and better rates. Nothing
is further from the truth than the state
ment made in some quarters that earn
inSs on the railways at the present time
are tending toward lower level. The
December earnings were many of them
poor, but some of those already received
for January are the largest in the histo-
Ties of the companies for the period.
There is the best of evidence that rail
way earnings this year will continue to
show an excellent increase over the phe-
nomenal record of last year. 1t may be
mentioned in this connection that the Chi
cago-St Paul lines will all have repre-
sentatives at meeting tomorrow TO make
arrangements for upholding rates after
the list of February, when the present
agreement among these lines terminates.
The granger securities were all some
what weak this morning, declines ranging
from fraction to fun point

A sensational tragedy occurred on
the Steele plantation, near Little Rock.
in which Walter Green, a negro, was
shot and killed by s. A. Glover, fore
man of the plantation, for an attempt
ed criminal assault upon Mrs. Glover.
II seems that Green. who had been en-
ployed about the place for several
years, went to Glovers house while
the latter was away from home, aud
stealthily entered the room occupied by
Mrs. Glover He bounced upon the de-
fenseless woman. ana grabbing pill.

her. She struggled desperately and
screamed at the top of her voice for as
sistance. Finally she succeeded in
frightening him away. and as soon as
her husband arrived she gave him an
account of the occurrence. Glover
went to Green's house and secured him.
Taking him back to the scene of his at
tempted crime, Mrs. Glover identified
him and he finally acknowledged his
guilt. Without another word Glover
drew his revolver and fired five shots
into Green's body, killing him instantly.

The two vessels are loaded with

Crops aud weather.

During the week ending June 5th
heavy rains occurred throughout the
state, and in many places it was excess
sive. The nights have Teen much
warmer and the growth of all vegetation
has been rapid. The heavy rains great
ly retarded the cultivation of crops, and
in many sections the grass and weeds
are injuring corn and cotton, while
in many the fields are clean. Corn and
cotton have made rapid growth. and as
rule the stands are good. Wheat is
ripening rapid Y and harvesting viii be
general next week. The yield, gener-
ally, promises good. Early oats are
ripening in some sections and promise
good while the late sown are generally
poor. Irish potatoes indicate from fair
to good yields in most localities Fruit
as rule is reported good TO fair con-
dition, except apples continue to fall
from the trees. Gardens and pastures
in fine condition.

June Scott, a colored farmer, fell
and broke his neck while driving home
from Helena Scott attempted to
jump from his wagon in order to avoid
being struck by limb of tree ex-
tending across the road and fell TO the
ground head first. He told his son.
who accompanied him, that his neck
was broken, but the boy did not be-
lieve him and started for help. When
he returned his father was dead, and
two physicians who made an examina-
ton OF the corpse, state that Scott S
neck was actually broken. The man
lived several minutes after the acct
dent and begged his son not to leave
him, declaring that his neck was brok-
en- and that he would be dead in a few
minutes.
