WITH THE PUGILISTS.
Terry McGoyern Declines Chance 10
Box iu Bendon.

NEW YORK. Feb 24.-Terry McGovern
will not meet Ben Jordan on Derby night
AT the National Sporting Club, London.
This decision was reached when DIR. Ord
way. the American representative of the
club. received a cable despatch from
Matchmaker Betunson. calling all negotia-
tions OFF About month ago the club Of
fered McGovern enticing inducements to
go abroad ard meet Jordan. Knowing that
the contest would be great drawing card.
owing TO the fact that he defeated Ped
lar Palmer so quickly. he was to receive
exceptionally large expense money-some-
thing which this noted foreign lighting
club has never given. McGovern, how
ever. refused to go across, and the club
came to the conclusion that further dick
ering would be useless. 1t is doubtful
whether Terry will ever get chance to
box al the club again.
Ii is now intended to get good Ameri-
can pugilist TO appear at the club on Derby
night in place of McGovern. An attempt
will be made TO have the winner OF the
Erne- Cans fight face Johnny Hughes, the
round battle Should this be impossible,
Jack O'Brien the local 1SS-pounder, Will
be asked TO make the trip.
There is likely TO be considerable delay
before Tom Sharkey and Kid Mccoy are
matched. According TO statement made
by O'Rourke, SharEey's manager on
Wednesday, when he returned from De-
troit he was 10 have covered the Kids de-
posit of 81 coo yesterday. He failed to do
this however. and when asked why he did
not put up the money, said:
u am net ready to make the match You
know, IL would be foolish to bind myself
lust now. in view of the fact that the re-
peal Of the boxing law is still on in the
Legislature"
O'Rourke did not express himself clearly
in regard to match between Sharkey and
Fitzsimmons. The impression prevails,
though. that be intends TO take on the
former champion instead OF Mccoy, as he
is of the opinion that such battle would
be better drawing card.
Now that the contest between Jim Jef-
fries and Jim Corhett has been clinched, so
| far as the Seaside Sporting Club. of Coney
| Island is concerned the next step is to
make the final deposit with the stake
| holder Al Smith has been selected for
| this Office and Tom O'Rourke said that he
would post 81 JG0 with him To-Day. and eX-
| poets the pugilists or their managers TO do
! the same.
Brady says that the champion is now at
| his home at Los Angeles with his parents
! and will return next week TO begin train
ing at Allenhurst. Y. J.

Third AVENUE TROUBLES
Filing Mechanics Lien Adds to
Decentralization.
SpecuIatOrs' Attention EngrOssed by
the DimcuIty-The Finance Bill
Lost Sight Of-A Reaction In the
Iron Trade-IndustriaIs Generally
Heavy Railways Equally Dull.

NEW YORK, Feb 24.-The chief infiu-
ences in the Stock Market, in today's brief
business session, appeared to be the con-
tinued decentralization of Third Avenue
stock, and the common apprehension that
the bank statement would show a further
reduction in surplus. On this account the
agreement made by the conference com
mittee on the Finance bill was virtually
ignored as was the encouraging news
from South Africa. The latter was re-
flected in general and substantial gains
in the London market, but foreign houses
wara active and the matter was without
particular effect.
There was nothing new bearing upon
Third Avenue affairs beyond the announce
mept of the flirg of mechanics lien upon
the propertv. which was taken 10 Tore
shadow a legal adjudication of the COM
papy's troubles The other notably weak
feature of the market was Tennessee Coal
and Iron the selling in this instance APP
parently rejecting the reports regarding
the reaction in the iron trade.
The -industrials at large were rather
heavy although in the instance of Sugar
Refining a fair degree of support was ap-
parent The. Anthracite Coal stocks con-
tipued TO show fair degree OF steadiness.
but the railway list as a rule was duli ana
heavy. The dealings in that quarter OF
the market did not, however, develop any
features of particular interest.

NEW YORK. Feb 24-Dun's weekly re-
view OF trade SAYS
Prices Of materials are yielding. II not
the best news possible for some sPecula-
tors, it is the best that could come for the
whole country, since industries could not
long prosper without reaction from the
extreme prices caused by actual or sup
posed scarcity OF materials last year. Some
help comes from new iron furnaces that
have opened OF approach completion: some
from the famine in India, which sends
hither shploads of hides; some from the
much increased fiocks Of sheep which have
Meaihered the winter and some from the
opening OF new iron, zinc. or copper mines.
The causes are many, but the revision OF
quotations gives promise of greater activ-
ity in all the chief industries. II is only
the future that mas been clouded for as
vet payments through banks deliveries
by rail and production on former orders
keep ahead of the record Of last or any
other February. Exchanges at New York
now fall below last years about the diff
ference in amount of stocks sold. but out
side New York show for February a de-
crease Of only about 6 per cent compared
over 1895.
The great iron industry has been en-
barrassed by prices for pig and hillets
which were no longer sustained by the
gradually yielding prices OF products Con
siderable transactions are now reported al
Philadelphia 81 TO $50 per ton below re-
cent quotations. At Pittsburg 81 per ton
lower Plates are still weak. as most con-
sumers are provided far ahead.
Cheaper hides and leather enable boot
and shoe makers TO take contracts for
split goods at 1-2 cents less than prices
recently asked. and some large sales have
resulted. giving part of the shops work for
some time.
AT last it is admitted that wool quo
tations. so long held, are fully 3 cents
per secured pound higher than prices in
large actual sales last week and since,

quarter blood and lower, which is in de-
mand and scarce, and fine fleece graded

The Civil Service Commission received
communication from the Civil Service
Board at Rochester. \. Y, yesterday, de-
scribing the case of one Thomas c.
Hodgson. who claims preference as an
eligible in a recent examination for mes
senger held by the Rochester board.
Hodgson. who passed the examination
at an average of 50 1-2 per cent bases
his claim for precedence upon the fact
that he is veteran of the civil war.
He enlisted in Arkansas in March, 1866.
The secretary of the Rochester board has
requested the Commission to state the
date on which the war ended. recent
decision OF the United States Supreme
Court. in the case of Macelreth VS.. the
United States fixed the time in all States
except Texas, as April ?, 1866, and in
Texas. August 20, 1866.
The case of Hodgson, however, is
further complicated by the construction
which may be put upon the term vete-
eran. as no one in the Civil Service Com
mission appears to be definitely informed
on that point.
The Secretary of the Commission has
advised the Rochester board TO lay the
matter before the Record and Pension
Division OF the War Department for a
decision.
The Law which gives precedence TO Lon
orsbly discharged soldiers and veterans OF
the civil war in their applications for clas-
sfied positions under the Civil Service, va
ries in the States. and the statutes have
been differently construed by the Civil
Service COmmssio The law providing
for the reinstatement of honorably dis
charged soldiers. sailors. and marines in
classified places. while distinct from the
Law OF precedence. often involves III par
ticular States the question OF The Gate OF
the ending OF the civil war.
A case Of this hind came up recently IN
meeting OF The Civil Service Commission
in the appiicar ion % Anthony Schneider
for reinstatement in the Bureau Of Engrav-
ing and Printing.
The Treasury Department requested Tho
Commission TO reinstato Schneider, who en-
listed May Is. 1885,. and while aCknowledg
ing that he did not serve in Texas. claimed
10 be an honorably discharged soldier Of Ii,
Union Army in the civil war aud his re-
instatement depended upon this fact Tn,
