ARCHDEAcON's HOUSE ROBBED
Burglars Take DR.. Halls Hat and
Oyercoat,

Burglars early yesterday morning en-
tered the house No. 1900 Boulevard, the
nome of Archdeacon George G. Hall,
rector of st. Johns Protestant Episco-
pal Church and stole an alligator bag an
)yercoat and hat, three rugs and other
articles. Mrs. Hall was awakened about
or 8 O'Clock by hearing something fall
and told Mr.. Hall that she believed some
Jne was in the house. He had heard
lothing and remarked it was probably
Just dream. Mrs. Hall thought she
neard steps gradually die away but heard
nothing more and went to sleep again.
a few hours later milk man rang the
bell and left u bundle which lie said he
round ON the Boulevard and supposed it
belonged to Mr.. Hail.
Upon examining the bundle Mrs. Hall
round that it comprised Mr.. Halls gown,
.assock and stool. Mr.. Hall Thusrday
evening attended the union meeting in
st. Anderw's Church and after the SER
wee carried his vestments home with
aim i'll al alilgator bag. This with his
ong oyrcoat and clerical hat were left in
he hallway OF the rectory when he re-
ired yesterday morning the alli-
GATOR bag was missing from the hail.
The burglars had evidently taken it and
,llr0wn the vestnlents away.
.e thieves had first forced an en-
rance from the exterior into the laun-
Try, breaking through Il window; but
Ifter they got in they coald not enter
he kitchen and other portions Of the
iollse because of Il bolt on the opposite
ide Of the kitchen door. They used

hey went outside and forced IL window
If the diningroom.
From that point they had access to the

II the kitchen door and began ransack-
ny the first floor
They pursued their search for arti-
les Of value with tallow candle, the
irippings from which were observed yes
terday morning. The drawers in the din
,lgroom We're pulled open and the thieves
probably intended to take the silver from
hem, but did not.
They secured Mr.. Halls hat, overcoat
md yalise, and one rug from the hall,
wo rugs from the diningroom, and a
ounterpane and other articles from the
laundry.
Footprints outside the house look as

Senator Hanna, who has been giving

senatorial situation, expressed himself
very emphatically yesterday on what he
called the stubbornness of MIR. du Pont,
and which, he said, was the cause of the
failure of the Republican legislature of
Delaware to send two Senators to Wash

sistent obstinancy. When the DUPONT
and Addicks delegates to the Philadel-
phia convention appeared before the Re-
publican National Committee we were
willing to seat both delegations, though
the evidence was plainly in favor of the
Addicks men. In the hope of effecting
harmony we offered the du Pont dele
cation seats, with half votes, but du
l'ont obstinately refused any such COM
promise, and insisted upon everything or
lothing. l myself heard. the testimony
and the complaints of the du Pont

made that we had to give the seats to the

SMALLPOX DISCOVERED In
CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY

-wo new cases of smallpox Were dis
.overed in this city late yesterday after
noon. The infected persons are Mary
Carter of No. 1918 West Sixth street and
i.,lcy Jones of No. 607 1-2 Tatnall street,
10th colored. The houses have been
placed under strict quarantine by Off
.crs of the Board of Health.
As the Trustees of the Poor refuse to
allow any more patients to be sent to the
pest house at Farnhurst, it is likely that
4 suitable building will be erected at
once, where persons suffering with the
disease can be taken for treatment.
At a recent meeting held by the City
Council Committee on public buildings
with the Trustees of the Poor it was
decided to erect such building if any
more cases of smallpox was discovered
in this city. 1t was also decided that

three cases of the disease have been re-
ported to the Board of Hath since that
meeting was held il now seems to be
an absolutely necessary precaution for
the building to be erected and the in
fected persons sent there ut once.
All the previous cases have been in the
extreme western section of the city and
therefore the new case at No. 607 IL
Tatnall will necessitate extra precaution
ON the part Of the Board of Health
officers, as that section of Wilmington
is very thickly populated by colored per-
sons. The case on Searls street and the
other one on West Sixth street are both
improving, but the houses are still being
carefully watched by the Health Officers.
Two extra health officers were appointed

The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-19

In his fights with Santry and Sanger.
the Denver lad showed that he would
speedily outclass them. once he had ac-
CURED ring generalship, more necessary
to him than to most of the little
fighters.
When he first fought "Kid" Broad,
Corbett lost on just that fatal lack of
headwork, generalship. or whatever you
want to call 1t. Broad was kept busy
all of the time until Corbett, losing all
caution, ran into Broad's hard hitting
right and went to the canvas for his
first knockout.
In the second battle Corbett showed
that he had fully learned his lesson, and
the incoming work and hard hitting
powers Of Broad were useless. Corbett
fought his fight on strictly preconceived
lines, never lost his head for a second
and won the decision in as pretty bat
tie as ever was witnessed in Colorado.
Just then came another example of his
rashness and liability not to follow in
structions. It was when he fought
George Dixon before the Colorado Ath-
letic club. There We're a great many
who believed that Corbett should never
have received the winners share Of the
money in that fight. as both men were
equally clever.
But 1t would be difficult to decide for
any referee who looks on gameness and
aggressiveness as important points, when
neither man has been punished, or has
shown signs of weakness. 1t is true that
Corbett bled. He had long suffered with
wound on the right temple which
never entirely healed and it was this
that Dixon reached in wicked swing.
From that time on occasional swings
brought the blood in almost terrifying
quantities.
Time and again Corbett was rushing
In, jabbing with one hand while wiping
the blood out of both eyes with the
other, but never letting Dixon rest for
a moment. The colored fighter had been
coached to perfection and, though It
looked like cowardice at times, always
fought away and waited for Corbett to
come in. The fast fighting confused
Dixon at times but he stuck to his train
er's advice and always settled for the
rush during which he managed to point
we'll and to increase the flow of blood
but the rushes he seldom stopped sue
cessfully. Corbett's rashness appeared
when he refused to listen to his Sec
onds and gamely kept going in, after
having cleverly outpointed his man,
Neither man was really hurt at tho end
OF the 10 rounds and it was Dixon's aeht-
ing away and lack of representatives,
that lost MIN the decision. Had Corbett
ueen lighting BROAD, or even Yanger, at
that time he would certainly have gone
to the canvas.
The question Is whether he will try to
rush In on McGovern. or take ad.an-
tase OF MS wonderful skill in foot work.
MS great strength and hard hitting
powers to fight of the Champion feat
by the way that the McGovern people
say is impossible.

going ODE all off with the Montana
champion when he runs up aginst men
in the class of Corbett and Dixon
Wades weak points are in his lack
of good defense and his light headed
ness. Time and again he fouled, or
nearly 50, and with a referee less steady
and appreciative of the fact that the
fighter tried to hold In, Wade would
have lost the bout on fouls.
His eagerness to keep going in is his
worst fault and may cost him a de-
cision later if not better controlled.
~
There's going to be a whole lot Of
dope" thrown into the air before that
fight comes off between Terry Nc
Govern and Young Corbett Of Denver.
1t may be getting into line as croakers
too soon, but those fellows who chung to
Sullivan, to Dixon, to Corbett and
to Fitzsimmons, until each was whipped
in turn unexpectedly, are beginning to
realize that every pug-has his day and
that McGovern, under the laws Of ma
ture, must have the same. For this
reason there's going to be any number
OF men who first look at the odds and
then figure out their betting books, who
Will take few centennials on the Cor
bett side of the board.
AS matter of fact, with anything
like reasonable odds, Corbett has the
best betting chance of any of the little
fellows against McGovern. This is not
clear dope that the Rothwell boy will
win. but that he is sufficiently cratic
to make good betting possibility.
With few exceptions, Young" Corbett
has won his fights against the Nc
Govern style of fghting-or against as
near an approach to that style as has
been possible with ambitious youngsters.
