THE BIG MILL
COMES OFF TONIGHT.
Tom" Sharkey and Peter Maher
in Fine Condition.
A SIX ROUND CONTEST

Philadelphia, Pa Jan l7-Keen
interest is manifested in tonight's
fight between Tom" Sharkey and
Peter Maher. 1t will be the big
gest pugilistic event pulled off in
the Quaker City for long time
and the interest is as great as
though more important and more
tangible title than the champion
ship of Ireland" were involved
There are several reasons for this,
aside from the fact that a fight
between men in the heavyweight
division always arouses much in
terest Iu the first place, Maher
enjoys vast amount of popularity
among the sporting fraternity of
Philadelphia, which city he has
long claimed as his homa. The
present pugilistic status of Sharkey
is also a contributing element in
the general interest displayed in
the bout. Should the Sailor"
lose the battle tonight it is a fore
gone conclusion tina his match
with Jeffries for the championship
would be declared off
The fight is limited to six rounds
but the men have trained as though
they expected to engage in a fight
to finish. Sharkey prepared at
Coney Island and if the statements
of himself and his trainers are to
be relied upon he is in a condition
to engage in the fight of HE life.
Maher likewise appears to be in
fine fettle. after several weeks of
faithful training at his quarters
near Fairmount Park He ex-
presses confidence in his ability to
defeat Sharkey and thereby get
back again into the front rank Of
pugilists.
The mill will be witnessed by a
large number of sporting men
from New York, where Sharkey is
a great favorite. 1t was in that
city that the previous meeting of
Shsrkey and Maher took place
The contest was held at the Lex
ington Athletic club. The police
interfered and the contest was de
clared draw, leaving the question
of supremacy still in dispute.

ENTIRE TOWN DESTROYED

Laredo, Tex, Jan. ia dis
patch received this morning from
the City of Mexico states that 600
lives were lost by an earthquake
in Cahilpancingo in the state of
Guerrero. The city is small one
but it is believed that most of the
nhabitants are dead. The shock
was felt over a large territory and
was plainly visible in the capital
city. Over one-half of the town
was destroyed. The town from a
commercial standpoint is consid-
cred unimportant. 1t lies midway
between Appoooca and the City of

A KINSMAN OF JOHN NJ. CLAYTON.
George Clayton, COunsin, has Travelled the
Wide World aud Now Lives in Maryland.

George Clayton a cousin of the
Statesman, United States Senator and
Secretary of State John M. Clayton of
Delaware wasin Easton on Monday.
Mr.. Clayton was born on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia 76 years ago. He
has been a sailor and a soldier, a
plainsman and a mOuntaineer, an
engineer and a trapper a miner and
a ranchman, and does not today seem
to be over fifty years old in appearance
and maners. His last war experience
was amongst the Beers and in the
Philippines.
Mr.. Clayton is bright and interesting
talker with original and sometimes
unique concepts. He seems to have
imbibed his moral philosophy plus
some of his scientific theories from DR..
Priestly whose works he studied when
young. Once he visited Juan
Fernandez Island and found in the
mountain the remains of what is said
to be the boat Robinson Crusos built
but could not launch. Relic hunters
have taken piece after piece of it away.
Mr.. Clayton thinks Juan Fernandez
may be the biblical Mount Ararat ard
the decaying boat timber the remains
of Noah's Ark. For as DR.. Priestly,
says what is now called the new world
was once the old world"
Mr.. Clayton lived thirteen years in
Oregon. He has just returned from q
second trip there which he made
recently. 1t rained every day the
thirty-six days he was there; and this
drove him east of the Rockies. He is
now spending some quiet days in
Caroline near lanyard.

SAN JOSE SCALE ON FRUIT TREES.
Prof. Wesley Webb EntOmOIOgist Empowered
by State Board to Treat Them.

Professor Wesley Webb, entomolo-
gist of the State Board of Agriculture,
has been given authority by the Board
to insist upon the removal of all fruit
trees affected with San Jose scale.
When the entomologist discovers the
existence of the scale he will inform
the owner of the trees, who are allowed
until January 81, 1902, to treat the af-
fected trees.
Should the treatment fail, and the
owners refuse to move trees, the
Board, through its official, may take
action in the matter and remove the
diseased trees. The Board is de-,
termined to take vigorous action
toward removing the trees affected by
the "yellows" and has adopted this
resolution concerning prompt removal
of the diseased fruit, which was intro
duced to the Board by Mr.. shallcross,
one of the most successful fruit grow
ers in the State.

PREACHER CHARGED WITH SLANDER
Alleged That the Minister Had Declared
Pie Sent Him Contained Poison.

Rev. Frances Handy pastor of Mt.
Pleasant Union Church, Viola, was
brought before Magistrate Wood last
on criminal charge of slander and
libel, the accusation being the result
of sensational state of affairs existing
in the neighborhood of Viola and
Canterbury. The pastors arrest was
caused by member of his congregation
Mrs. Annie E. Townsend who swore
that he had circulated stories in the
neighborhood in which they live to the
effect that she had attempted to poison
him.
The stories alleged to have been
circulated by Parson Handy were that,
as holiday present, Mrs. Townsend
had sent him a fine custard pie. Some
ones attention was attracted to the
pie and, upon examination, the Rev.
Mr.. Handy declared, it is alleged that
the pie contained poison even
designating the poison as Paris green.
The pie was not eaten but was placed
under lock and key.
At the beginning of the libel case to-
day, Attorney Frank Davis, for Pastor
Handy raised the objection of improper
procedure the case coming under the
head of those special criminal and civil
proceedings which, have to be brought
before the Superior Court in the
prOthonotary's Office. Magistrate
Wood sustained the objection and
dismissed the casefrom his court.
After the hearing Handy refused to
talk about the case. Mrs. Townsend
stated that the ssories had been the
undoing of her I'M the neighborhood,
and that she was as innocent as a babe
of feelings of malice toward the
minister or his family of fves.and had
simply sent him pure and well-made
custard pie as holiday present.

CAUSTIC GERSTER.
Comment the Singer Made on a Kiss
That Patti Received.

That Patti Received.
While the rivalry between Patti and
Gerster in San Francisco in 1884 was
at its height it was made known that
General Crittenden, governor of Mis-
souri,, had given Patti kiss. There
upon Nine. Patti was interviewed,
when she spoke as follows:
81 had just finished singing Home,
Sweet Home last Thursday evening
when a nice looking old gentleman,
who introduced himself as Governor
Crittenden, began congratulating me.
All of a sudden he leaned down, put
his arms around me, drew me up to
him and kissed me. He said, Nine.
Patti, l may never see you again, but
l cannot help it. and before knew it
he was kissing me. When a gentle
man, ard such a nice old gentleman,
too, and a governor of a great state,
kisses one so quick that one has rot
time to see and no time to object, what
can one dOT'
The following dialogue on the sub
ject between Nine. Gerster and a re-
porter who had interviewed her was
afterward published:
Modest RepOrter-I suppose, Nine.
Gerster, you have heard about that
kissing affair between Governor Crit
tenden and Patti?
Nine. Gerster-I have heard that
Governor Crittenden kissed Patti be
fore she had time to resist, but l dom
see anything in that to create so much
| fuss.

TAR AND FEATHERS.
How 1t Feels to Wear a Coat of This
Fearful Mixture.

AAAAAuECs
People who read of tarring and feath-
ering know that the punishment is
very unpleasant one, but few imagine
how terribly painful and dangerous it
is. In Wyoming once saw a man who
had been tarred and feathered, and, al
though he fully deserved the discipline,
l could not help pitying him. Hard
ened tar is very hard to remove from
the skin, and when feathers are added
1t forms a kind of cement that sticks
closer than a brother. AS soon as the
tar sets the victims suffering begins
1t contracts as it cools, and every one
of the little veins on the body is pulled
causing the most exquisite agony. The
perspiratiOn is entirely stopped, and
unless the tar is removed death is Ger
tain to ensue.
But the removal is no easy task and
requires several days. The tar cannot
be softened by the application of heat
and must be peeled off bit by bit,
sweet oil being used to make the proc
ess less painful. The irritation to the
skin is very great. as the hairs cannot
be disengaged, but must be pulled out
or cut off. No man can be cleaned of
tar in single day, as the pain of the
operation would be too eXcruciating
for endurance, and until this is done he
has to suffer from a pain like that of
ten thousand pin pricks. Numbers of
men have died under the torture, and
none who have gone through it regard
tar and, feathering as anything but a
most fearful MISUNDERSTANDING

RUDE SURPRISE FOR DELAWARE
President NOmra IS Marshal John Cannon
Short 10 Unexpected fiasie.

Representative Ball of Delaware,
who looks after the States patronage
matters, was surprised Wednesday af-
ternOon when the President sent to
the Senate the denomination of John
Cannon Short to be United States
Marshall for the District of Delaware.
There has been hot contest over
the Marshalship, Marshal Short desir-
ing to succeed himself, and two other
patriots striving to get the place them
selves. Mr.. Ball understood that the
President would allow Marshal Short
to continue in office for a few weeks
longer without denomination pending
settlement of the claims of his rivals.
1t IS believed a visit which General
James H. Wilson made to Washington
last week decided the President to act.
The President has since recalled the
nomination and left it opened for
further consideration.

DELAWARE RAILROAD DIRECTORS.

Meeting at Dover Last Week Show Decrease
of Earnings Due to Failure Of Fruit Crop.
The fifteenth annual meeting of the
Delaware Railroad Company was held
at Dover Thursday. The directors
were all elected with the exception of
W. H. Swift of Wilmington, and Wal
ter o. Hoffecker of Smyrna, who were
elected to fill the vacancies caused by
the death of W. T. Porter and John H.
Hoffecker.
The annual statement shows the
company's business for last year as
follows;
The gross earnings for the year 1901
are as follows: From freight traffic,
81 1,044, 757.72; from passenger traffic,
$45S, ,297.75; from mails, express, rents,
and miscellaneous traffic, S1O3, ,6O4. 98;
total earnings, 81, ,6O6, ,66O As; decrease
of $50, 999.85.
The total operating expenses were
81, 1856, 232. 46, an increase of $43, ,791. 40.
The freight earnings show decrease
of $50, ,696. A, while the passenger and
miscellaneous earnings increased in
the sum of $16,696.55.
The decrease in the freight earnings
was entirely due to the large falling
off in the fruit traffic, the revenue
therefrom being reduced nearly $780,
600 below that of the preceding year.
The extraordinary expenditures for
the year amounted to S349, ,306.61.
