Have Been Murdered.
Pittsfield, Mass. April 16-Levi Beebe
the famous weather prophet who pre-
dicted the March blizzard Of 1883. was
found dead at o'clock Sunday morning
in his house on Beartown mountain in
the town OF Lee. He was seen in the
village Of South Lee yesterday and was
in good health, and there is much specu-
ation as to the cause OF mis- death. He
was 81 years old and had lived her
:nit's life in recent years in his small
mouse on lonely mountain side far re-
moved from neighbors The medical
examiner. DR.. Holcolm, thinks he died
from natural causes, but a thorough

Beebe owned a large farm, sawmill
and other property and usually carried
with him considerable money. He be-
came especially famous as a weather
prophet by predicting the March bliz-i
s2ard of 1885 several months in advance.
He studied air currents and made OBJ
gservations from the top of Beartown

prehensiye and to be made success would
need support from all the, prominent clubs
in the country. An important part OF the
changes in the Queensberry code is the
clause relative 10 fouls. 1t is suggested
that the boxer committing a foul be hnsd
certain percentage OF the purse, 10 be
increased at each offense
1t Is proposed that the executive COM
mittee of the Carson City club, since pugi-
lism is recognized by Neyada's laws, act
ing in conjunction with representatives
from each athletic club in Chicago. New
York san Francisco and the leading cities,
form the central board 10 decide all
changes in the rules or barring of nurulY
pugilists for such length of time as their
offenses merited. The principal points In
the new scheme are:
In case OF foul the person INDUCING in II
shall on the decision Of the referee be
fined 10 per cent of the purse for the first
offense, 20 per cent for the second 40 for
the third and the remainder of the purse
for the fourth; but under no circumstance
shall the bout be stopped until the fight
has gone to finish or the scheduled num-
Der OF rounds fought.
The directors of the club shall have the
power in all cases OF fouls. jobbery or
crooked work OF any kind to rule the Of
fender from the club for such term oi
years as II may see fit, or for life and
this ruling shall hold in all clubs OF the
association
Any member of the association can appeal
from the ruling of the club to the central
board by depositlng 800, the money to be
returned If the decision OF the lower club
Is reversed, but to remain with the club
II 1t Is sustained
Persons defaulting TO an association club
or putting the club to any expense what
ever by failure to meet an engagement
shall suffer penalty sufficient to cover
all such expense and loss.
The president of the club shall forward
a sworn statement OF such losses to tho
central board and the person in arrears
shall not be allowed TO appear IN the
arena of any association club until such
disabilities are removed by the payment
o. the penalty.
A club participating in jobbery or falling
TO keep faith with the public may be ruled
out OF the association By the ceatral board,
and In such cases no association pugilist
can have any dealings with IL until 1t Is
reinstated without losing his membership.
The admission fee to the association for
a club will be $40 with So year dues.
The fee for each professional desiring TO
join the association Will be s.. with s.
yearly dues.
d All members of the association are ex-
pected TO meet any man OF their weight
within the year after Joining or lose their
membership, provided the proper money
deposit Is made.
The above is an outline OF what is con-
templated by the association. and It is
done with a view OF taking from the ring
much of the odium now attached to 1t.
Suggestions are invited by the secretary OF
the club.
