McGoyern Won.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 24.-Terry Nc
Govern defeated Dave Sullivan Saturday,
night in the arena of the Southern Ath-
letic club in 10 rounds of as desperate
fighting as was ever seen. From the first
tap of the gong until the end it was slap
bang, hammer and tongs nearly every sec
ond, both men working away with all the
energy they possessed.
McGovern, knowing that the fight
meant his position in the front ranks as a
fighter, was after his man every second
In majority of the rounds he was on
the aggressive and Sullivan was forced to
do far more defensive work than his op-
ponent. But he put up a wonderful fight,
was game to the core and lost the fight
more through blunder of his own than
because he was knocked out. When the
crash came, however, he was groggy and
going fast. The chances are that he
would not have lasted many more rounds
had he risen to his feet before Fitzsim-
mons called time
In the fourth round Sullivan was at his
best. He forced the fighting, especially in
the last half and had McGovern plainly
going. The latter was very unsteady as
he went to his corner, and nothing but
his splendid recuperative powers enabled
him to come out in shape for the fifth
round.

Peculiar Tragedy.

New York, Feb. PA peculiar trag-
edy has occurred in the residence of Will
liam j. Simmons at Caryl, suburb of
Yonkers. 1t resulted in the serious
wounding of Georgianna, the year old
Simmons girl, and the probable fatal
wounding at her own hands of Amelia
Foscher, Hungarian servant girl
The cause of the shooting, which was
done by the servant girl, is supposed to
have been an insane fondness for the child,
whom she feared being separated from her

TRADE REPORT.

r. G. Dun G Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade of last week says:
Along the Atlantic coast business
was temporarily checked by the storm
and some interior points also suffered
from unfavorable weather, but con.
sumptive demand gives no evidence OF
abatement Prices of perishable goods
advanced sharply and the whole range
of staple commodities tended upward.
Jobbing trade in spring lines of wear
ing apparel is of ample proportions,
and all heavy hardware and products
of iron feel the pressure in that in
dustry. Prospects are most encourag-
ing as to the labor situation. Railway
earnings thus far reported for Febru.
airy show decrease of but 35 per cent
from last years figures, which is fully
explained by weather conditions, while
compared with 1900 there is an in.
crease of 9.8 per cent. Bank exchanges
for the week at the leading cities out
side New York show a gain of 1875
per cent over last year, while the loss
at New York Is but SIS per cent from
the total in 1901, which is more than
accounted for by decreased activity
in the stock market.
Stock market operations were of
only fair size and price changes small
until Thursday, when severe break
occurred on the announcement that
the attorney general would proceed
against the Northern Securities COM
pany. Much time must now intervene
before the legal status of the concern
Is decided.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for February aggre-
gate $6,697,SS1.
Failures for the week number $50 in
the United States against 25S last year
and 81 in Canada against 80 last year.
