O'BRIEN TO RETIRE
To Settle Down in Philadelphia
at the Age of 80.
Intends to Practice Law at the
Bar of His Native Town.
is NOW AN ATTORNEY.
The Pugilist Is Confident That
JefFries viii Box Him.
Writes an Interesting Letter to
the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati, Jan. 3.=The Enquirer
says: Philadelphia Jack O. Brien aims
to win the heavyweight championship
and in a couple of years retire from
the ring. O'Brien. whose right name
is Hagans, is said to be the wealthiest
pugilist in the ring today. Though his
greatest success came from his en-
gagements in the prize ring. he in
tends to settle down and practice law
in his home town of Philadelphia.
He is at present a member of the bar
and in good standing and also con
ducts a real estate business in Phila-
delphia. His income in the last year
or so has been greater than that of a
United States senator.
The announcement that Jack in
tends to quite the boxing game will
no doubt come as a big surprise to
his thousands of admirers who have
for years gloried ever his success in
the fistic arena. Today O'Brien joins
a burlesque show in boxing and for
some weeks will tour the East, as he
has no other ring engagements before
him at the present time.
The sporting editor of The Enquirer
has been favored with a letter from
Jack written on board a train enroute
from the Pacific coast to his home in
the Quaker City where he arrived on
Saturday evening and was given a
pleasing reception by several hundred
of his fellow townsmen. O"Brien's
letter is as follows;
EN- Route East, Dec. 81, 1905.
my Dear Friend: Being that you
were one of my strong supporters in
my recent contest with Bob Fitzsim-
mons, and predicted my victory over
him. L am pleased to know that your
opinion did not go amiss. have been
intending to write you for some time,
but confess that 1 neglected to do SO.
That. however. does not mean that I
do not appreciate the many kind
things that has been said about me in
The Enquirer. I have always been a
reader of The Enquirer, and at any
time ready to supply your paper with
any news at hand. You will hear
from me more frequently now that I
will have more time to write.
Il am now on my way East for a
visit to my parents and sisters in Phil
adelphia, and on Sunday evening will
go from there to Boston to join a
burlesque show.
ION my home I stopped off in
Reno, New, and made made an offer
there of a $4,000 purse to fight Jim
COrbett or Marvin Hart. For a bout
with Tommy Ryan they will give $15,-
GOO. AS far as L am concerned any
one of them will suit me.
i hope to retire from the ring the
heavyweight champion when I am 30
years of age an indicated champion
I believe Jim Jeffries will yet come
out of retirement and fight me for the
title.
you can reach me at any time
through my address, No. 1912 Locust
street Philadelphia. Wishing you a
happy New Year I am very respect
fully yours. JACK O'BRIEN."

THERE WAS A SURPLUS
Government Took I'm More Than It
Paid Out During December.

Washington, Jan. 3-The monthly
comparative statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures shows
that the total receipts for December,
1905, were $50,350,463 and the eX-
penditures $44,931,745, leaving a sur
plus for the month of $5,41S,718. The
receipts from the several sources of
revenue follows:
Customs $24,962,571, increase 3d.
100000 internal revenue $23. ,22S,

partment S6.233.002. increase $780,

month exceed those for December,
1904, by S5,3O3, 600 and the expendi-
lures exceeded those for the CORE
spending month of 1904 by S3,434,0O
For the first half of the fiscal year

exceed those for the corresponding
period last year by $19,2OS,S97 and the

O72, $50.
At the close of business December
80, 1905. the total debt, less cash in
the treasury, amounted to 1894, $685.
71S, which is a decrease as compared
with December 1, 1905, of $4,S83,113
This decrease is largely accounted for
by a corresponding increase in the
amount of cash on hand. The debt is
recapitulated as follows:
Interest bearing debt, $895,159, 40;
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, S1,199, 1885; debt bearing no
interest, $3SS,291, 316; total, S1,2S4,-

clude S1,011, 397, S69 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding which are
offset by an equal amount of cash on
hand which is held for their redemp-
ton. The cash in the treasury is

BLACKBURN is DOWN.
United States senator From Kentucky
Is Defeated for Reelection.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 3.-Judge Thorn
as H. Paynter, of the Kentucky court
of appeals, was nominated on the first
ballot taken in joint caucus to select a
Democratic candidate for United States
senator to succeed J. c. S. Blackburn.
The nomination carries with it the Ger
tainty of election, as the Democrats
have more than twO-thirds of the COM
bined membership of both branches of
the legislature.
The vote was as follows:
Judge Thomas H. Paynter, 50; Sena-
tor J. c. S. Blackburn, "a; w 3. Halde-
man, 10; Congressman David H. Smith
1. Necessary to nominate, 43.
Judge Paynter's nomination ends one
of the hardest fought senatorial strug-
giles of the past 20 years of Kentucky
politics. His nearest opponent was J.
c. S. Blackburn, the incumbent, who
has represented Kentucky in the house
and senate with but one intermission
for nearly a quarter of century, Until
two days ago it was generally believed
that there would be a deadlock in the
caucus When the house and senate
caucuses for the purpose of organizing
these bodies were held it became appar-
ent that Judge Paynter, who was back
ed by Governor Beckham and the state
administration men, would gain the
coveted prize. Although the Haldeman
and Blackburn forces combined to name
the officers of the two houses, Paynter
men were installed.
United States Senator James B. Nc
Creery was Senator Blackburn's chief
supporter, and in this connection poll
ticianS already fOreSee one OF the efecIS
of the contests on Kentucky politics in
the future. Democratic leaders expect
that McCTeery, when his term expires,
will have to put up a fight for re-elec-
ton, just as Blackburn did, with Gov
ernor Beckham as his chief opponent
Thomas H. Paynter was born IN Lew
is county, Kentucky, December 10, 1851.
He has served three terms in congress
and is a member of the Kentucky court
of appeals. His early education was
acquired in the Lewis county schools
which was supplemented by study in the
Rand academy and later by a course at
Center college at Danville. He was adj
mitted to the bar in 1873 and was county
attorney at Greenup for several years.
He was a member of the Fifty-fTst con
gress and twice reelected, serving from
1889 until 1885. In 1884 Judge Uaynter
was elected TO the appellate court ana
was reelected in 1900.

TEN men HURT.
Train Crashes Into Caboose in Which
They Slept.

Chicago, Jan. 3-Ten men were in
jured in rear end collision between
freight trains on the Chicago, NIilwau-
kee & St. Paul railroad at Kedzie ave
nue. today.
The men were asleep in the caboose of
the freight train when in the mist and
darkness of this morning the locomotive
of the second train crashed into the ca
bose. The injured were quickly re-
moved to the hospitals nearby.
The first section of the train was de-
layed at California avenue because of
the fog and the engineer of the second
section finding the block station closed
against him stopped his train at Kedzie
avenue. The third section which was
close behind the second crashed into
the rear of it. The engineer was unable
to see the light on the rear of the second
section until he was SO close upon It that
it was impossible to stop his train All
of the men who were injured were
asleep in the caboose and were warned
before the crash came. They were max
ing a rush for the doors when the 10
connective of the third section smashed
the caboose. Several cars of hogs were
in the rear of the train just ahead OF
the cabo0se and many of these were
killed and their carcasses thrown
around the track.
The Goals from the stove in the ca
boose set fire to the wreckage and but
for the prompt arrival of the fire de-
partment some of the men who were
pinned down by the timbers of the car
must have been buried.

CARSON A TRAIN AUDITOR.
His service In Saving a Bridge Not
Appreciated.

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 3.-Ever since
exit Carson saved the big Missouri
Pacific bridge at Kansas City during
the flood by weighing it down with
large engines, there has been an in
nate desire on the part of the superior
officers of the road to keep him in an
obscure position in order that the
good service rendered the company
might be kept in the background. Al
though his act in Kansas City saved
the company thousands of dollars, it
did not seem to appreciate his services
and it was not long before a superior
officer gave him his walking papers.
Since that time Carson has been cuffed
from job to job-jobs of little conse-
auence. He has now been appointed
a train auditor, or tram collector as
some roads choose to call the office.
