Cincinnati, July 31.-ssSoldier'' Tom Wilson, one of Fitzsimmons's sparring partners during the latter's training for his fight with Jeffries, stopped here on his way to Fort Myer, Va, where his regiment is stationed Wilson is a powerfully built man, g years old, six feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds. When he leaves the army next fall he will become a prizefghter and send a challenge to the champion. He did not see the battle on last Fri day night, having left Frisco two days before. He expressed his opinion of the battle in this way: "No amount of money could have made Fitz lay down or take part in fake. He fought as he said he would, and you can bet your life that he was out to win in every round of the fight. If he in tended to do any faki1lg, why did he take so much care in getting into con- dition? Jeffries proved to be Fitz's master, and that's all there is to it.'

It was reported on good authority yesterday that George Dixon intends to retire from the ring within the next six months. Dixon is i'll England hay- ing gone there about two weeks ago. He went to the other side with back CT in search of matches with any of the foreign or American feather weights who are now in Europe. On his return, which it is expected will be in the latter part of September, he will go to Cleveland and settle in that city. The Black Bass A. O., an organization of Cleveland, has engaged the former featherWeight champion as it's boxing instructor, succeeding Harry Lemon, who has been engaged as Joe Gans's sparring partner. Dixon has had a notable career in the ring. He has been boxing since 1886 and is the hero of nearly 400 bouts. He held the feather weight title for almost twelve years, until it was wrested from him by Terry McGovern about three years ago. In his day Dixon has earned close to $250- 900, but is practically penniless. He has been doing some fighting lately, but his form has deteriorated He is still exceptionally clever and, in the estimation of good judges of the ring, ought to make a capital instructor.

Killing Of His Mother and
Minnie Mitchell.

Riceville. Ia. Sept. S.-The body
ing and which was believed to be that
Of William Bartholin was eXhumed
Sunday and positively identified aS
that of the Chicago double murderer.
The Identification was made by VIM.
Mitchell, brother of Bartholins muir
dered sweetheart, and Lieut.. Andrew
Rohan, of Chicago. who arrived here
Saturday morning from Chicago. DR..
A. j. Coey. of Chicago, Bartholins dem
fist, who came here with Lieut. Ro-
han, cut out the lower jaw of the dead
murderer, which contained the two
gold crown teeth which have figured
so largely in the description sent
broadcast throughout the country for
purposes of Identification. The jaw
will be taken to Chicago. Bartholin's
body was found last Friday about six
miles from Riceville by j. c. Pratt, OF
Riceville. Pratt was driving TO Elma
and when passing fax field saw the
body lying against a stack of fax.
Thinking IL was a man asleep, he paid
no attention at first, but on returning
he found the man still there, and upon
investigation, discovered that he was
dead, and a revolver lying near his
left hand. Coroner T. S. Carpenter was
notified, and the body was removed to
an undertaking establishment at Rice
Vile. There ]. b. Cook, editor of

to the published pictures of the Chi
cago murderer.

S. Carpenter, coroner of Howard coun-
ty. follows:
To whom it may concern: l want to
state l am the Bartholin the
police are looking for. Also wish to
certify had no assistance of any kind
from any one. Thompson, Claffy and
Counselman are all as innocent as an
unborn child and should be freed at
once.
Il can not go into detail in regard
to the crimes. They were not planned.
1t was all Minnie and / could do. My
mind is wandering Such a drop in

All Told Wero Fired.

Port Au Prince, Hayti. Sept. s.
The German gunboat Panther arrived
here September 3 and received in
strucuons from the German govern
ment to capture the Firminist gunboat
Cretea-Pierrot. She left Immediately
for Gonaives. the seat of the Firminist
government. The Panther found the
Cretea-Pierrot in the harbor of Co
naives and the commander Of the Ger
man gunboat informed Adm Killick,
on the Crete-a-Pierrot, that he must
remove his crew and surrender his
vessel in five minutes. Adm. Killick
asked that this time be extended to
10 minutes. This request was granted
on the condition that the arms and
ammunition on board, the Crete-a-Pier-
rot should be abandoned when her
crew left her.
The crew of the Cretea-Pierrot left
that vessel amid great disorder At
the end Of 10 minutes the Panther sent
a small boat carrying an officer and 20
sailors who were to take possession of
the Firminist gunboat When these
men had arrived at point about 80
| yards from the Crete-a- Pierrot, flames
we're seen to break out on board her.
She had been fired by her crew before
they left her. The Panther then fired
on the Crete-aPierrot until she was
completely immersed Thirty shots all
told were fired.
There is much feeling here against
the Firminists and their cause is con-
sidered to be bad one. Soldiers are
leaving here to attack ST. Marcus.
Port Au Prince is calm.
The German gunboat Panther ar
rived at Port Au Prince September 5.

MAGAZINE BLEW UP.
Dine Man Killed, Five Injured and TWO
Missing.

Boston, Sept. S.-One OF the powder
magazines at Old Fort Winthrop, on
Governors Island, upper Boston har-
Dor, blew up Sunday night. with de-
donation that was heard at points 20
miles away. The cause of the explo-
sion is not known.
One dead man and five injured were
brought to the city by the police boat,
and while it is believed that this is
the extent of the casualties, it is pos
sible that others may be found suf-
fering from the force Of the concus-
sion.
The dead mans name is Albert II.
Cotton, of Somerville. Joseph Wake
field and James Ryan are missing.
The injured are James A. Crowley,
Christian Knudson, Charles Flanagan,
Dennis J. Swanson and Paul Barry,
all having flesh wounds besides suffer
ing from shock.
There are several old ramshackle
wooden buildings at the southerly end
OF the island, but the fort itself, only
a little of which is visible above
ground, is of stone, some of the granite
blocks being of immense size.
The force of Sundays explosion is
| shown by the fact that some of these
great blocks were hurled several hun.
dred yards. while one of the largest
was sent out into the air and came
down through the citadel in the center
of the fort, making a hole large
enough to drive a team Of horses
through. All over the island the effects
Of the explosion are visible, while in
East Boston, South Boston and in the
city proper the conclusion was severe
enough to break windows and shake
buildings to their foundations
The powder exploded consisted OF
about six tons, and was stored in one
of the numerous classmates that were
built under ground around the citadel
The other classmates we're empty Each
of these apartments was built with
granite walls % feet thick and covered
with earth and masonry to the depth
of 80 feet At first it was supposed
the bonfire set on the island caused
the explosion, but later, when the pc
lice learned that it would be impossi
bic for fire to have reached the powder
by accident from the outside. they
decided that the cause is unexplained
