 Boston, Jan 22.-The greatest sen satlon promised the sporls Of Boston III years Tailed to reach q climax last night, although 7Uu spectators were Kept guessing up to the fast moment. He lscterlc club had scheduled q light between Tim Sullivan and Char ley Rourke and the police had notified the club managerS that they would raid the club. This is the club in Which Oscar Gardner was defeated re- gently by Jimmy Davenport, and in connection with which the police thrice have failed to obtain warrants for the boxers, ring officials and club officers. The club holds that, as an incorporated body, it can give exhibi- tionS for it's members. The arrange ments for last nights raid became noiSed about. The newspaper men had tip that they would be singled out in order to see if the reporting of an exhibition prohibited by law was not an offense in itself. Tho police arrangements appear to have been made and only the sign was neces sary for the neighborhood to swArm with bluecoats. In the clubrooms q score of officers lounged about and an unknown number of city and state of ncers, in street dress were among the spectators, and all the down town pa Trol wagons were i'll readiness for a call. The first number on the program was a minstrel circle. The jokes and songs fell fiat. Then. instead of an- nouncing the first bout. the master of ceremonies said that the police had lntcrfered and the fights could not be pulled off at this time. There was q chorus of groanS. and the crowd left the building unrestrained, whereas most of them had pictured to them selves a grand parade to police head quarters. guarded by files of officers. Despite last nights incident the mat ter of public boxing in Boston remains undermined in its legal aspect.

Former Champion Bob Fitzsimmons arrived in New York yesterday. The Cornishman is looking well. In talk about his future plans he said: For the present l have retired from the ring. When I get good and ready to fight again I will post q large-siZed prune and do business. All this talk about meeting Jeffries, which I have heard so much of late, is not so. never have said i would fight him. es- pecially after the way he f1unked when he had a chance to meet me at Madi- son Square Garden last summer. I have not heard from Dan Stuart or any one else in reference to meeting Jetfries at Carson City. They can say all they want to about me doing this and that and the other thing. Money talks and any time I make up my mind to fight you will hear from me in the shape of q large certified check"

HOME FROM STATE CAPITAL
The Legislators We're Glad That the
Long Wearisome Session Fin
ally Came to an End.

The Milwaukee passenger from the
north Saturday morning contained a
portion OF the senstors and representa-
tives of the legislature and many times
was the expression heard: "Well I'm
glad its over with /"
The last session Of the legislature was
held Friday night and it was found
necessary at midnight to stop the clock
for couple of hours in order to give
more time for action to be taken on the
apportionment bill. Notwithstanding
the Importance of the bill the senate
was unable to agree on an equitable ap.
prtionment for future legislatures and
the bill was not passed.
Senator Johnston and Representa-
tive Bras and ]. H. Scriven, secretary
OF the senate, came home on the morn
ing train, thoroughly tired out over the
long session..
According to newspaper reports from
Pierre of a day or two before adjourn
ment an effort was being made to have
a special session of the legislature
called to take some action on the capi-
tai removal measure, but evidently
there was nothing in the report, as sew.
eral members stated that they knew
nothing OF any such action being taken
or even contemplated 1t was simply a
pipedream OF the newspaper CORES

were attractive, the company was ami
mated and full of life, the costumes of
the ladies we're exceedingly handsome,
and the large dining room was bril-

all of which combined in making the
affair notable success.
In one of the adjoining rooms tables
were set for refreshments and during
the evening the guests in small num-

refreshed from the exertion OF the
dance.
The four hostesses looked after the
comfort and pleasure of their guests
and proved themselves delightful enter

for the young ladies but there was

Dodge at once pronounced the case
genuine smallpox and the house was
accordingly quarantined, The case
was reported to Dr.. Duff of the county
board OF health. The latter drove up

and found that the card was torn down
aud the DOCTORS orders ignored, where

place the whole village under quaran-
tine If his orders we're not obeyed.
The county board of health at once
