Buffalo Man Goes Down and Out in
 la Twelfth

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. Tt took Jack OBrien twelve rounds to dispose of Al Weinig before the International Athletic Club at Fort Erie today. The Buffalo man went down and out in the middle of the twelfth round after receiving a teICific right hand upper-cut and a'shove which banged his head against the floor and made his arising within the ten seconds an impossbility.
 The contest was one sided all through, blows throughout the twelve rounds, while O'Brien played all over the Buff falo man whenever and wherever he pleased. Weinigs vitality and we'll known powers of recuperation enabled him to stand on his feet and take the punishment until the finishing punch. ever seen before at the Fort Erie Club. He was in action every second and piled blows on Weinig's jaw to have won a half dozen fights, but he seemed to lack power enough to knock him out Weihig was knocked down clean in the first round and was hanging on the ropes in the second and fourth rounds, but his strength held him until OBrien had closed both eyes and wore him com pletely down. Weinig seldom attempted to lead. O'Brien finished without a scratch.
 The betting was at prohibitive odds in O'Briens favor, although much money vas won on Weinig staying ten rounds, which he had backed himself liberally to do.

STATE TAKES
 ITS CONNECTS New Order Has Gone Into Effect. TO OPERATE COAL MINES The Governor Supervised the l Change in Person. Men to Be Worked Under Direction | of State Officials and Same 1 Rules as Apply to
 Free Labor.

State consi tets worked in coal mines arc now under the direct supervision of state officials. The new order went into enect yesterday.
 Governor Jelks returned yesterday morn ing from Birmingham, where, with the members of the State Board of Convict Inspectors. he has been experimenting the transfer of the convicts from the of the State.
 The Governor said yesterday that the important change had been made with no more difficulty than the State officials had anticipated. No unexpected difficult ties. the Governor said. had arisen and the transfer had been made as easily as had been expected.
 When the Governor left Birmingham yesterday morning the convict officials had not decided upon the man who was to be the Chief Mining Superintendent for the State. This important o.nclal will have charge of the States interest both at Slope No. 10 and at Flat Top. At the time he left Birmingham the ,rovernor said that the appointment was uncertain, but that he thought 1t would be made today. The appointments of booReepers, wsrdens, guards and pit bosses had not been made and it was thought they would also be decided upon today.
 The appointment of the Chief Mining Superintendent has given the convict ofti- cials more thought and care than any other matter connected with the impor- U States criminals. The subordinate otfi- cials, 1t has been stated will not be named until the Chief Mining Superin- tendent has been appointed as 1t was thought his due that ne should be allow ed a voice in the selection of his as- sistants.
 The necessary commissary and mining supplies for the State conviets were pur- chased and delivered several days ago. The change inaugurated yesterday means that the conVicts which the State has heretofore leased to the mining com put upon the basis of free miners as re- Gards their labor. The State, instead of receiving from $10 to $l5 a month, will get stipulated sum for each ton of coal mined by each convict, The convicts have been leased to only two mining Railroad Company and the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. The former company will work it's convicts at Slope No. 10 at Pratt Mines and the SloSs Com pany will employ it's convicts at Flat Top.
 The Tennessee Company will pay the State 8 cents for each ton of coal mined by the convicts but the coal will have to be delivered on board the cara The Sloss- Sheffield Company has contra Sted to pay the State & cents a ton for all coal mined but the coal mined for that company is to be delivered at the mouth of the room.
 Under the new order the State Is to fur nish food, clothing. mining supplies and medical attention to the convicts, The State will also furnish all officials with the exception of a Mining Superintendent who will have charge of the mine for the company that owns 1t.

COUNTING THE CASH
OFFICIALS GOING OVER THE
 STATES MONEY.
Examiner sedberry Was Busy Hand- ling the Cash in Treasury Yes terday and Will Resume
 Work Today.

The cash in the vaults of the offlce of the State Treasurer was counted yester- day in accordance with a special act ef the Legislature which authorizes the Governor to have such count made at any time he deems fit. It has become a custom in recent years to count the money each year,
 The count of the money Is to be made by the Examiner of Public Accounts or his assistants. The law specifies that 1t Is to be done In the presence of the Governor the Attorney General CT the Secretary of State.
 The count of the money of the State was made yesterday by Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts George F. Sedberry. The State official who super intended 1t was Secretary of State R. P. McDavid. Henry Bartlett of the Far ley National Bank rendered valuable as- sistanee in the counting of the States g money. The count was made behind closed doors.
 The work of counting the cash of the State was not completed last night and 1t will be resumed this morning.
 The records of the treasurers office show that the State has received in cash since the close of the fiscal year $54e, ,000 This is an increase of $20,000 over last year between October 1 and December S1. The increase Is explained by the statement that the collector of Jefferson County has paid into the State treasury 33 ,000. two months earlier than usual

GEN. A1GER's LUCKY NUMBERS
Figures 7-11 Closely Connected with Important Events in His Life.

New York Sun.
 Senator Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, is not ordinarily a superstitious man. but he has a tender spot in his heart for the numbers '7-1," which have been con important event in his life and in many minor matters besides. The manner in which these two policy numbers have pursued him through life was brought to light by little incident which occurred since his arrival at the Arlington Hotel, on November 27 as one of a party Of seven, when an express package mum bered 7-11, on which cents was due, was brought to him at his hotel by eX- press wagon No. !. The coincidence of numbers became more marked when 1t was noticed that the express frank held by the Senator was No. z.
 Mir. Alger did not seem at all sur prised when tho matter was called to his attention, and the following facts will show why: He was born on Febru- ary 2, 1886; both of his parents died when he was Il years old and for seven years he worked on a farm. He was admitted to the bar on March z, 1S59 and the de- gree of LL. D. was conferred on him by Hillside College on May 2, 1885. He was made Colonel of the 0th Michigan cav airy on June Il, 1863; breveted Brigadier General of volunteers on June H. 1864: breveted Major General of volunteers on June Il. 1865; appointed Secretary of War by President Mckinley in 1897, and made United States Senator on September zf of the present year.

Fine Pair of Feet.

Me. which are of si5e IT., FF. or, to put 1t otherwise. are fifteen inches long and rather broader in proportion. They were specially made for a colored man who works in a saw mill at Tirreil, Ark. He went into Memphis to get a pair of shoes and when the shoe dealers saw the size of his feet they decided that 1t was worth while to have shoes made specially for him. As special lasts had to be made and the shoes could not go into lasting machines, it took three weeks to turr them out. They are said to be tn, largest bair of shoes for actual wear ever made in Massachusetts.

Car and Locomotive Statistics.

The record of the year in car and loco motive building Is nearly equal to that of last year when all previous records were surpassed. The necessities of the railroads are more clearly indicated by the orders which have been placed for new equipment than by the number of cars and locomotives actually built dur ing the year, since the latter figures are merely statement of the capacity of the various building concerns.
 The Railway Age has compiled from its weekly records statement showing that during the year 1902 orders have been placed for the building of 1S5, 600 freight cars. 4V0 locomotives and 2,7oO passen- ger equipment cars of the various classes, including baggage. mail and express. The figures have been corrected and additions made by officials of the roads concerned and by the manufacturers, and are pre- scented in detail corresponding record published by The Railway Age on Jam uary 3, 1so2. showed totals of 1SS, 900 freight cars, 4.StO locomotives and 2S79 passenger cara.
