LOOKS GLOOMY FOR
 THE PRIZE FIGHT
Agitation Over the Proposed Jefries- 9uhIin Fight in Cin-
 Cinnati Continues

Cincinnati, January 13. = The agitation over the Jeffries- Ruhlin fight here next month continues today, together with in- formal conferences. Mayor Fleischman left for New York to be gone week, and he left his ultimatum with the Saenger- fest Athletic Association. The Mayor said:
 "As the matter presented itself to me at the Friday meeting, the application for the permit was not for the purpose of giving a sparring contest, but for the purpose of getting out of giving a sparring contest
 "I so told the gentlemen present at the conference, and told them so plainly. I also called their attention to the fact, well known and understood by them, that it had, from the first, been understood that the permit was to be issued at the proper time for the contest and l added that 1 ming, and that if they went on with their arrangements the permit would be in their hands two days in advance, and it is well understood that this permit will be for sparring contest and nothing else."
 It is learned here that if Mayor Fleisch- man had issued a permit in advance it would have been estopped at Columbus, if it had notSbeen declared illegal in the Cin- about the fight among the agitators is as to the time when the Saengerfest Athletic Club will declare it off.

A REAL ROMANCE.
Chicago Girl and Ranchman Welded
 for Second Time.

Chicago. January 13.-A dispatch to the
 Vita, one of the twin daughters of former Supreme Judge Mulkey of Metropolis, has added another interesting chapter to her romantic marriage to Edward Passow last August. Miss Mulkey, while visiting about a year ago in Texas, formed the acquaint- ance of this wealthy ranchman. and the friendship soon ripened into love. It was agreed that the two should be married secretly, and Miss Mulkey and MT. Passow visited Kentucky where the nuptial knot was tied. MT. Passow went back to his ranch and his wife returned to Metropolis and continued preparations for a public wedding. Only few days before the date fixed for the event she publicly announced her wedding and said she was sorry for the step she had taken.
 She freely told her friends that she had no affection for MT. Passow, it was ex- pected that divorce proceedings would soon be begun. MT Passow learned of the changed condition and took no further steps to claim his bride. He found 1t nec- essary to visit Chicago during the holidays, owing to the settlement of the estate of his father, and learning of his presence in that city sought an interview. The couple met, a reconciliation was effected and second wedding took place in a Chicago church. This fact has just transpired. MT. and Mrs Passow will make their home in Tex as in the near future
 Both families are well known in Illinois. The Passows are Chicago manufacturers and Judge Mulkey is one of the ablest jurists of the tSate, having served for many years on the Supreme Court bench
