THE PUGILISTS.
GREAT BATTLE
 LITTLE MEN
Harry Forbes and Frankie Neil Will Have a Fast Encounter Other News of the Fiehters.

The greatest fight between very small men that has been pulled off Il many months will be decided on June IT in the arena of the Waverly A. C. in Chicago.
 Harry Forbes. once champion ban tanlweight Of the world, Is to fight Frankie Mel. the boy who won the title from Forbes in the second round of what was to nave been a twenty round battle.
 Both are training for their lives for this bout, Forbes just outside of Chi cago, and Neil In Wisconsin.
 Both consider it the most important battle of their careers. and each will fight lige young tigers: one to retain, the other to regain, his lost laurels.
 They have posted $250 for weight and appearance at 120 pounds, ring side.
 While the men fight for the so-called bantamweight championship they are many pounds out of that division.
 As a matter of fact, they are well on to the featherweight limit, and the winner of the contest will be the real. simon pure fcatherwelght champion, Corbett, Britt. McGovern. Hanlon, and all their managers and their friends to the contrary notwithstanding.
 JABBER CAREY AND TEMPLE.
 Tn all probability the next opponent for Tom O'Rourke's dark stake horse, Larry Temple, will be Johnny Mack's Jabber Tom Carey. q light heavy weight gentleman who can hit like a piston rod and is more than ordinarily clever
 This should be a smashing contest.
 Temple is bit of hustler, strong, willing to take a wallop to lan0 one ana always on the go.
 Carey is a hard case for rusher like Temple. He has a left hand counter that cuts like a knife and while he lacks patience and hasn't the head perhaps ever to punch off a championship laurel, he'll give any body on earth a fight who comes to him. There is but one thing he doesn't relish in the ring-a fighter who is too. small, like Walcott, for instance. He has moved down a very good line of big fellows.
 Mack's boy has whaIed into sweet slumber curly headed Dick Moore in three rounds; Charlie Stevenson, two rounds; Charlie Haughey, one round Temple only got a decision over Haul ghey in ten rounds; Charlie Lawler, one round; Joe Butler. three rounds; Blac kFitzsimmons, four rounds: Pat sey Corrigan. two rounds; Mike Bren- nan, two rounds; Nick Burtey, one round; and has fought a fifteen round draw with Sandy Ferguson
 Carey has challenged Temple through his manager, Mack, and the black boxer has accepted. The bout may go to Albany or Baltimore, as the men have agreed to go a fifteen round route.

was from 2 to degrees below normal.
The weather, however, was mostly
fair, and at the close the conditions
were about all that could be desired
Tor farming operations and the germi-
nation of cereals. Reports are gener-
ally favorable as to the condition of
oats, spring wheat and barley, which
appear to be generally coming up in
good time and promising fair stand.
Good progress has been made in
blowing and preparing ground for
cora, and very large area is now in
readiness for the planters. In some
Favored localities planting was begun
on the last two days OF April, and
With continued good weather very
considerable acreage will be planted
the first week in May. Conditions
are much more favorable than at the
corresponding date last year for the
cereal crops and all kinds of fruit, ex-
cept peaches. The season is ten days
late as to termination of seed and
growth Of vegetation, but the general
outlook has not been more encouraging
at the first of May within the past
five years,

CANAL TRANSFER FINISHED
THE FINANCIAL TRANsAcTIoNs
CONDUCTED BIZ MORGAN.
He Represented United States Govern.
ment as Fiscal Agent-Pay-
ment Made Gradually.

Paris, May 4.-Having wound up the
details Of the big financial transaction
connected with the Panama transfer,
]. Pierpont Morgan left Paris Tuesday
for Aix-Les-Bains. Before his de-
parture he gave correspondent the
main points Of the final agreement, Is
follows: The Panama Canal company
wishes to have the money turned over
In Paris instead of in the United States,
and was willing to pay all the expenses
incident to the payment here. In order
to accomplish this the United States has
appointed the Morgan company fiscal
agents for the purpose of the payment,
the Morgan company in turn to make a
, contract with the Panama company
whereby the $40,000.000 will be In
Paris The contract specifies the Banque
de France as depository and also the
proportion of the payments going to the
old and the new Panama companies re-
specttvely. The signing of this contract
closes the transaction, it only remaining
for the Morgan company to carry 1t out
by making payments from time to time
to the Banque de France. This will be
done SO as to cause no disarrangement
Of the American or French money mar
kets. The report that syndicate of
Paris bankers is interested is incorrect.
The appointment of the Morgan COM
pany as fiscal agents places the whole
transaction in their hands. They will
associate with Lazard Freres and other
houses Of a similar character in New
York and here, but SO far as the United
States is concerned 1t intrusts its financ-
Ing operations to the Morgans.
The contract covering the financial
operations bears the signatures OF
Messrs. Day and Russell, the United
States assistant attorneys general; the
liquidator OF the old company, the Of
hoers OF the new company and the Nor
gan company.
Messrs. Day and Russell will remain
here another week to secure copies Of
the papers, ETC., but they consider the
transaction closed.

An Assault at Elma.

The Elma Vidette gives the follow
ing account of fight at that place
last Sunday morning. 1t was the re-
newing of an old feud. Evans recent
ly was given Judgment in the SUI
preme court for damages sustained in
a fight between them, which occarred
in 1901.
1.-The notorious stock yards fight at
Elma broke out fresh again last Sun
day morning and the town of Elma
gained another page of very undesira-
BILE history, to be added to reputa-
ton along these lines that has long
been shameful.
AS result of what is alleged to
have been an unfair fight Ed Evans
lies at his home with his head, neck
and shoulders pounded almost To pulp.
AS we learn the story of the fight,
Evans and F. D. Elwood were fight
ing, when, it is alleged, Elwood's
hiring, Henry Crooks, slipped up be-
hind Evans and struck him on the
! head with club, knocking him down,
and 1T is also claimed that while Ev-
ans lay there in helpless condition,
both his assailants continued to pum-
mel him until bystanders saw that
they must interfere to save his life.
They were finally pulled away but not
until they had nearly completed the
! j b OF ending life. Besides the In
jlries above mentioned, Evans has
two badly smashed and broken fingers
he is now doilg nicely and unless
complications set in, will recover in
time.
The two men who are said to have
done this deed are the notorious may
or of Elma, Frank d. Elwood, who re-
Gently paid heavy damages for SIM
liar attack on Evans. and Fl. j.
Crooks, who figured 80 conspicuously
in an assault case at Bassett som
years ago. No arrests have been
made"
An information has been fled be-
fore Justice Moon against Elwood
charging him with assault with in
tent to commit great bodily injury
but the hearing will probably not oc-
cur before the latter part of this
week.
