in he car at the depot by Times Re-
porter, Capt. Wbsley was suffering
from a severe hlow on the head, that

in falling on the railroad track after
being struck. To a Times reporter, he
said:

ter supper to get an overcoat, prepar-
atory to leaving for Jesup. While
crossing the railroad track. three men

me on the back Of the head. l was
knocked partly unconscious, aud in
faIhUg, cut my hand. Th men secured
only silssr watch of not much val

money, but they were mistaken
Il seems that robbery was ths
motive for the crime, Capt. Wnaley

aud was loaded with money They
missed it this time, as Capt. Whaley

terday morning except a few dollaFs,

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The Stock Market
opened at declines which, in some in
stances, extended to points ard over.
Its initial tendency was derived altogether
from the London market. which was Sc
verely depressed in all Of its diversions,
on account of the critical situation of the
British forces Ladysmith.
Aside from the information in this re-
spect, there was nothing in the news over
Sunday bearing upon the market
Foreign houses sold heavily in this mar
ket at the opening of business, and, as vas
10 be expected, all of the foreign lis ed
stocks were partially weak.
The declines in those days, however,
were reflected elsewhere in the market
and there were no important exceptions TO
the commercial tendency.
Notwithstanding the severity of the early
declines. the market was not wanting in
support. and buying of an excellent charac-
ter was reported throughout the list after
the initial dealings.
The dealings were in very large volume
and interest was well diversified. After the
openins. a rather better tone developed and
some sharp recoveries were scored.

THE DIXoN-M'GovERN FIGHT.
Records of the Men Who VIII Battle
Tomorrow.

! NEW YORK, Jan. S.-There seems to be
a perfect mania among ring followers to
bet on Terry McGovern at 100 10 80. or
even at to / if they can't get better odds.
What the mania is based on is rather hard
to tell. Terry is a wonderful boy, no
doubt. but so is the little bronze cham
pion. Dixon. Careful observers of ring
events are unable to figure out a line on
public form to Justify the giving OF such
tremendous odds as TO l.
There is a great deal of betting on to-
morrow's championship battle. The chances
are that by the time the boys put up their
hands in the ring more than Sl50,000 will
be up on. the event. All the negroes in
town are betting every penny they cen find
on Dixon. In every hotel in this city where
negro bell-boys are employed they are
playing their salaries and all the advance
pay and borrowings they can scrape up.
These boys are betting on the negro's
ring history and his present excellent con-
dition. There could not be a better lire.
Tom 0'Rourke. who has Just returned
from a visit to Lakewood, confirms the re-
ports that Dixon is in superb condition.
He says the little champion weighs lis 1-2
pounds, and is as strong and fast and as
full Of endurance as ever. He says Dixon
will gradually increase in weight until 8
O'Clock tomorrow, when he will scale l1S
pounds. In the ring he will weigh 10 or
121 pounds.
With Dixon In such excellent condition,
it is interesting to look over his record
and enquire what he has done to justify
people in betting . to l against him. He
has been featherweight champion for ten
years. He won the title from Cal McCar-
thy one of the hardest hitters ever seen
in the ring at featherweight, and who
fought in a style very like Terry McGov-
ern.
Besides successfully defending his title
against all men of his size for ten years,
Dixon has fought draws with such big
fellows as Frank Erne. the present light
weight champion, 10 whom he gave away
fourteen pounds of weight-to say nothing
Of Erne's great advantage in height and
cen pounds the bcst of the weight and
was one of the cleverest men ever seen in
the ring. He beat Martin Flaherty, a
frst-rate lightweight. Indeed, il is safe
TO say that Dixon has given away FROM
five to twelve pounds in practically all his
fights
McGovern has beaten Sam Kelly, Jimmy
Barry, Billy Barrett, Tim Callaghan, Har-
ry Forbes, and others, but they are all
distinctly of lower class than Dixons
adversaries and a vast deal smaller. True.
McGovern beat Pedlar Palmer the Eng
lish champion, but there are fifty boys in
this country who could do that Joe Bern.
