His next battle was with Terry

Battler earned sI1.7s7 for defeating
his man. Then came that memorable
fight at Goldheld. Nelson lost the
title to Cans. the real lightweight
champion OF the world. but re receiv-

Fortune on Stage.
His first theatrical engagement was
for ten weeks at $1,000 a week. Fig
uring his earnings on the stage from
this date until Dec 81. 1906. Nelson
cleared over $4,000.
Twelve thousand dollars was added
TO his bank roll through his interests
in the moving pictures OF his Cold
field fight.
While in GoIdheld training for his
fight with Cans the Batuer was pre-
sented with 10000 shares of gold
stock which today are valued at 50
share. 1t is not definitely known
just what money he won on his diff
ferent fights. but it is safe to say that
he has won $4,000. OF all this
money he was forced. OF course, TO
pay expenses for himself, manager
and those who worked for him as well
as give his manager his percentage
Figuring all in all. the Battler TODAY
has a capital of 100000.
Today he is in England where they
are paying him $1,000 a week to
show his skill with the gloves. and it
is likely that he will get a match
across the water that will earn him n
title.
It can safely be said that Nelson
has within the last two years earned
including everything. close to 5000
600. salary twice as large as that Of
the president of the United States. or
a little less than $4,000 a week.
There are a number of fighters who
have earned big money. but Nelson
holds the record. For the short time
that he has been before the public he
has earned more than any fighter that

OF this kind
Among the sporting element of the

POLO MAGNATES HERE.
Messrs McMahon and Halliwell Ar.
 ranging for Next Season.

F. F. McMahon and Richard Halli- well owners and managers of the Waterbury polo team were in Water- bury to-day making arrangements with the Eagles board of directors for the use of the Auditorium for the con- ing season. They stated that they in- tended to play polo nWaterbury and would prefer to play at the Auditor ium, but if this could not be se- cured, they were prepared to build or secure another convenient spot It Is not at all likely that they will go to Providenme, as both gentlemen say they like Waterbury too well to leave it. They promise to have even a bet ter team next season than they had last, and the reason they would like to close with the Eagles now is that they wish to look over the field of polo players. They expect to meet the directors this afternoon and be- live they can cme to satisfactory terms. At any rate we will have polo in Waterbury no matter what the out come of the Auditorium dispute may be, and under the same management. too.

BOSTON'S LOSS
Increased Demurrage Tax of American Car Association
 Falls Heavily on People
S5,OOO,OOO ANNUALLY

Boston, Mass, June 25.-A loss es- timated at over $5,000,000 annually will be incurred by the railroads run ming into Boston as the result of an increased "demurrage tax levied by the American Car association to ex- pedite the return of foreign cars en- tering Boston with freight. The new rate, which is double the old one, is 50 cents day for each car that stops over more than twenty-four hours.
 Although the tax is imposed on railroads all over the country it is felt particularly in Boston because the inward traffic here greatly ex- ceeds the outgoing movement. The average number of foreign cars on the New York. New Haven X Hart ford road each day is estimated at 10000. while the Boston & Maine system generally holds over about 1000, and the Boston & Albany only about 2,000. This makes total of about $22,000 which the roads have to pay each day. About one- third of this comes back, however, in the same way from other oads and thus the loss is lowered to about $15,- 900 a day.

CANOE WAS UPSET.
And Speaker Tilson aud Companion
 Went Into the River.

Pennington, June 25.-Major John Q. Tilson, speaker of the house, who had m unpleasant experience in being upset from a canoe on Sunday, Is sitting up to-day and Is feeling nicely. He has every expectation of going to Hartford to preside over the house to- morrow, and only upon advice of Dr Morrissey of Unionville, who is at tending him, did he relinqush last night the idea of going to the capitol to-day. He asked MT Gum of Milford to preside at to-day's session.
 Speaker Tilson, while canoeing on the Pennington river near the june ton of tbat stream and the pequabuck river, was upset with his companion. Miss Scnrth. and treated 10 bath.
 The accident occurred as an inci- dent in canoe trip Speaker Tilson took while the guest of Admiral Cowles. He was accompanied by Miss Scarth of Admiral Cowles' household, and after paddllng up the Pennington 1t was decided to try the Pequabuck river. Where this stream joins the Pennington the water Is very deep and both occupants were thrown into the river and supported themselves on the upturned canoe until Major Tilson was able to assure the safety of Miss Scarth by providing her with an air tight cushion. which was part of the boats equipment and supported her in safety. Then he managed to swim ashore. but on reaching the shal- low water was so affected by his ex- ertions that he tainted anu had a hem orrhage.
 By this time the accident had been observed and assistance was given to Major T!ison. who was taken to the house of Admral Cowles. Miss Scarth was rescued without difficulty and be- yond the necessary shock suffered no Injury.

THE LAST WEEK
Members of Legislature Trying to Finish Up Business
 Gum in Chair.

Hartford, June 25.-The general assembly to-day entered upon what many of the members hope will be the last week of the present session, and in order to try and clear the desks of business an attempt will be made to hold night sessions as long as there is a quorum. The amount of business on hand is large and in cludes fully a score of bills of wide interest and considerable impor- tance, each of which 1t is anticipated will precipitate discussion. In the lower house George M. Gum Of Mil ford, democrat, will preside In the absence of Speaker Tilson, who mar rowly escaped drowning on Sunday and who has not recovered from the exhaustion following his struggle to get ashore.
 Governor Woodruff to-day sent to the house without his approval, the resolution incorporating the Bridge port and Danbury Electric Railway company. In his veto message he ex- plained that his refusal to sign the bill was given for the same reasons that governed his previous veto. The bill was passed over his veto.
 The bili for the protection of trees on highways and public grounds which was the order of the day lu the senate, was killed.
 After a long discussion in the house, final action was taken on the bill con corning booths, side rooms or retiring in places where intoxicating liquors are sold. \ favorable report was ac- cepted and the bill passed as origin ally drawn, all amendments being de- feated. Under the provisions it will be illegal to sell liquors tn booths or side rooms except in hotels or restati- rants, and as 1t was made plain dur ing the discussion, an office in saloon will be illegal.

A Big Hunting Lodge.

Mount Tabor. Vt. June 25.--A hunting lodge that is expected to rival any in New England is being built here for Stephen Clark of New York.

An automobile road ffteer miles long will carry guests from the lodge to the railroad. An automo- bile garage and a large stable will also be erected. The land on which the camp is being laid out is a large tract and one that offers fine fishing and hunting.

THREE ARE DEAD

ONE EXCITING RESCUE

New York, June 25.-Seven per- sons, six of them members of one Italian family, were killed to-day in the collapse of ramshackle tene- ment in the down town Italian quar- ters. Three other members of the same family, rescued from the ruins, including the father and mother, are in the hospital, painfully injured, but will recover. There were some exciting scenes immediately follow ing the accident, one of which was the rescue of an old man from a two foot ledge forty feet from the ground, this portion of the fallen building having adhered to the ad- joining structure long enough to per- init the firemen to get to the scene, raise ladder and take the map, Jacob Reigler, a lodger, safely to the ground. Then it also fell into the ruins.
 The collapsed building was a four story affair, built over fifty years ago and located at Walker and Lafayette streets. It belonged to the Moses Taylor estate and for some days had been in a dangerous condition be- cause of excavations next door for a new building. It had been shored up, but the constant rumbling of subway trains a block away was too much for it in its weakened condi- tion and it fell in finally at 2 o'clock this morning. Most of the tenants, warned by an ominous creaking, fled from the building few minutes be- fore it collapsed.
 The dead are: Tony Torchino, IT years old; Mamie Torchino, 21; Lu- lie Torchino, g; Fred Torchino. 10; Susie Torchino. IS; Edward ,Torchi- no, 27, and Cosmo Belucci, 40 years old, lodger.
 Tomasso and Amelia Torchino, father and mother of the unfor- tunate family, and another son. George, 19, are suffering from scalp wounds and contusions.
 The seven persons who lost their lives were buried under tons of debris and it was not until the fire men had looked for four hours that their bodies were recovered. Some of them had been instantly killed, but others escaped death in the first crush only to be smothered by the shower of bricks, broken timbers and plaster.
 George Blumenthal, the contractor who had charge of the recent re- pairs and snoring up the building, was arrested soon after the accident. He is charged with homicide.
 During the work of rescue the fragment of wall fell, severely in turing Battalion Chief Calvin and Ladderman Samet.
