again required by the lady. but this time
in happier capacity.
Charles Brewster. a local historian OF

MUCK ICEo DAY.
Future State Of Weather Judged BY
february "a.

According to an old German legend.
says Terryvdlle correspondent of the
Hartford Cour5nt. February "a Is
known there by some as muck Ice
day" and the future state of the wealth
err 4s supposed to hinge upon the tenn
perature or strength of the sun on that
day. The saying has been handed
down from an old resident, who for
merly worked In the madleable iron
foundry, hut has now gone to his re-
ward. He used to watch the Pequa-
buck river from hts bench and say to
his comrades, muck Ice, lie break Ice;
Muck Ice, he make ice" the import OF
the saying being IL the ice be broken
by the warmth of the day Muck Ice Is
breaking the ice and an early spring
may be expected. while II the river is
free from ice Muck Ice freezes 1t again
and another cold wave may be looked
for. The spirit Of the river was yes
terday favorable to an early spring as
the ice was melted and broken up In
several places. 1t is not known that
the old saying has been referred to else
where, but it appears to correspond to
the notion regarding Candlemas day.

Mountains when Pursued.
MANILA, Feb. 25.-General San MI
guePs force of insurgent ladrones has
abandoned Montalban, sixteen miles
from here, and has probably fed to the
Morong mountains. Reports from Be-
soboso indicate the presence or la
drones in that vicinity. Re-enforce-
ments for the government troops
reached Montalban too late and failed
to overtake the retreating ladrones.
San Miguel has about 800 men with
him. 1t is not believed that they can
subsist for any length of time in the
mountains. The government is prepar~
ing to occupy the valleys and passes
and force San Miguel to fight or dis
band his followers.
Detachments of constabulaly and
scouts encountered bands Of the enemy
on Saturday, and series of skirmishes
ensued. The government forces were
victorious.
San Miguel has issued manifesto
directing his adherents to avoid q con-
flict with the Americans and TO content

MUNROE BESTS MAHER.
Miner Pugilist Made His Opponent
Quit I'm Fourth Round.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Jack Munroe.
the Butte miner, stopped Peter Maher to-
night in the fourth round of what was
scheduled to be a six-round bout, at the
National Athletic Club.
Many of the spectators were of the opin-
lon that Maher quit, as he went to the floor
after a series of blows on the jaw and body.
He took the count and was picked up by his
hackers, who led him to his corner. The
bout was a fierce and bloody one and Maher
was leading until the fourth round.
Both men scored knockdowns in the first
round, but they were up and fighting before
the referee had counted three. Shortly be-
fore the end of the round, when Maher sent
Munroe down from a right, Munroe jumped
to his feet and clinched. Maher tried to
shake him off, but the miner held on until
the bell rang. Both men lost their heads
and kep fighting after the bell. Both were
aggressive and when the fight ended they
were covered with blood.
