could be made against them and the
men were fined $19.Os each for tres
passing and were each held in 800 bail
for court and carrying concealed deadly
weapons. The men gave no account
of themselves and neither would make
a statement. Their presence became
known to Bsggagemaster Fred d.
Ross about 8 o'clock that night near
Middletown, when the baggagemaster
noticed some of the baggage moving
as if by magic. He wisely telegraphed

between Middletown and Clayton must
have been wired aud unenviable.

The Clayton Public School will not
open for the fall term until Monday
September the 18th, owing to the
fact that the school building which is
undergoing extensive improvements
at the hands of Warner & Blair con-
tractors, is not in readiness to ac-
commodate the children and at a
meeting of the Board of Directors
it was decided to delay the opening
two weeks longer by which time it is
to be hoped the building will be COM
pleted. The annex has been erected
and enclosed and the whole interior
has just been pIastered. All the rooms
except the High School department is
nearly ready for occupancy and in case
there is any delay in this room it may
be possible that room in some other
part of the town may be rented until
the new room shall be ready. The
question of heating also comes in for
consideration and has yet to be pro-
vided for. 1t has been decided to in
stall steam heating plant. Prof. J.
Frank McBee, the newly-elect prin-
eipal, will not be here until the morn
ing of the 18th and he and his wife
will take rooms at the hotel until they
can find a suitable house. The open
ing of the new school building is
looked forward to with much interest.

The fight between the P. B. & W.
Railroad Company and property own
ers on Water Street, Wilmington,
has broken out again and on
last Thursday, Messrs. Salisbury,
Ponder and Curtis, counsel for Daniel
Bubenzer, presented a petition to
Chancellor Nicholson, alleging that
the elevated railroad operations en-
croached upon the fourteen feet al
lowed by the order of the chancellor.
Work was Immediately stopped, and
Ryan & Kelly, the contractors, we're
cited to appear before Chancellor
Nicholson at Dover to show cause why
they should not be adjudged guilty OF
contempt in ignoring the terms of the
injunction. On Saturday, Salisbury
Ponder and Curtis, representing Ar.
thur johnson and Margaret Mccain,
owners of other properties in the
same square, fled two bills of com
plant against the railroad company
asking restraining order to preven
the railroad company from continuing
the erection of its elevated system il

JOHN |. STILL 4, FIGHTER
OWN WITH ANY HEAVY.
WEIGHT.
Champion of Champions Asserts That
He Is Willing to Take on
Any Of Them.

That he still possesses the ability to
hold his own with any heavyweight
pugilist in the world, bar Jeffries or
Fitzsimmons, is the opinion of John L..
Sullivan, the veteran fighter, who is
now stopping at st. Louis.
Not only does John have this opin-
willing to back it up, and that he will
try conclusions with any man in the
Sullivan thinks that he can once more
make himself a factor in the modern
prize ring.
He believes that Fitzsimmons is the
greatest fighter, in proportion to his
weight, that ever lived. He states that
Fitz could dispose of Jeffries in short
order were it not for the tremendous
advantage in weight possessed by the
present champion-an advantage no
other incumbent of the title has en-
JOySu 10 So great dn eAloHl.
While not expressing himself in so
many words, Sullivan evidently be-
lieves that Jeffries holds his laurels
more through his tremendous physical
advantage than through any other
was equal, F'itzsimmons could dis
dispose of the champion in a few
rounds.
Moreover, John l.. states that ne
himself could put Corbett away in
eight rounds nowadays, and insinuates
that the sprinting ability of the Cal
ifornian was the sole property which
kept him from humiliation on the
evening of their memorable fight at
New Orleans.
Barring Fitz, there isn't a man JEFF
fries ever licked, that 1 couldn't put
away myself, today said Sullivan,
the whole secret being the fact that
Jeff has too easy a time Of it. There's
nobody in the heavyweight class today
fit to fight the old-timers. Jeffries has
the weight and the edge over his men
That's all there is to it.
Eighty Men In Year.
Il knocked out eighty men in one
year when 1 was touring the country,
and I'd like to know who ever made a
record equal to that. l know none
of these fellows of the modern ring ever
did it. Jeff tried to make tour of the
same sort and ran up against a snag
in the first few weeks. He bucked into
Jack Munroe.
81 could take all the men jeff has
ever licked except Fitzsimmons, and
could stow them away in short order
I'm the only man who ever made a
long tour, advertising purses of $1,000
for those who could stand against me
for four rounds. I went the route
too"

1t was lucky for Chin Sue, partner

papers were signed by General James
McAuliff when he sailed away for
China two years ago. After pleasant
visit in the Flowery Kingdom, Chin
Sue decided to return to the United
States and sailed accordingly. When
he arrived at Port Townsend however
three weeks ago, he found that it was a
far easier matter to leave Uncle
Sans domain than it was to land. For
some reason or another Chins papers
were found defective by the collector
at Port Townsend and Chin's landing
was consequently delayed. Chin was
determined to~land and the collector
was equally determined that he should

the Chinaman called for in the pa

it was necessary for General McAuliff
to journey to Port Townsend to iden-

troubles, said:

PLAN TO START BANK.
WAGE Farmers Would Have Financial
Institution On Large Scale.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-When the exc
ton of Labor holds it's regular quarter
" meeting at the end of this month in
Washington, it will be asked to indorse
one of the most gigantic financial
schemes ever conceived in connection
with labor organizations. A pros
pectus outlining the plan is already in
the hands of officers of international
labor unions, several in Chicago hav-
ing received them.
Although the prospectus is issued
from Winnipeg under date of Feb. l,
the agents VINO are visiting labor Off
Gals here represent w. r. Burch & Co.,
financiers sos Lords Court building,
New York. The plan is to form a
great financial corporation, to be
known as the Trades Union Financial
corporation, incorporated under the
laws of New Jersey, to do business in
every state in the country.
The prospectus states that at the
present time the savings of the wage
earners of the country pass directly
under the control of the capitalist, and
are used by the capitalist at his own
discretion against labor interests. The
proposed plan is to form a company
that would have authority to hold
shares and bonds in and of other COM
panies.
The stock of the proposed company
would be divided into two classes. The
common stock would consist of 5000
shares of SIS each, having a fixed rate
of interest Of per cent, cumulative,
subject to the earnings of the COM
pany.
The preferred stock would consist
of 100 shares of $1,000 each.
