lightweight boxers and Michael J. Newman.
manager Of the Long Acre Athletic Club,
were in the jefferson Market court yesterday
morning. The boxers were charged with
being participants in a prize fight and
Newman with aiding in such a battle. De-
tectives Murphy and Graham of the West
Thirtieth street police station had the
same three men In court on the previous
day charged with the same offence.
Magistrate Whitman discharged the pris-
oners on Friday morning when he found
that the police had no evidence that ad-
mission had been charged at the door or
that the boxers had been paid for the ex-
hibition Graham and Murphy said that
they stepped in in time on Friday night TO
stop the fight, which had been postponed
from Thursday night when they had first
interrupted IL. On both nights, they said,
Howe and Cullen were in the ring stripped
for action. Several hundred persons were
on hand to watch the mill. The policemen
said that they believed the law was being
violated.

Dy Fucmen.
A hard one alarm fire in the five story
building on the southwest corner at Church
and Vesey streets yesterday morning
made a sort Of record. Chief Croker said
il was the worst fire he had ever fought
for which only one alarm had been sent In

sending in another call.
The blaze was seen first by the motor
man on an elevated railroad train. He
blew several blasts on his whistle and called
the attention Of the police. Flames were
then seen coming from the fourth story
windows on Church street. The New York
Silicate Book and Slate Company has that
and the floors just above and below. The
flames went up through the roof and the
sparks shot high in back Of old st. Paul's
Church. The blaze was fought from the
elevated structure as well as from the
street and high water pressure helped the
tiremen greatly. The damage was esti-
mated at $4,000.

Joel Chandler Harris expresses the
following great truth in Uncle Remus'
Magazine for December: Greed grows
with groveling, and some men have a
positive genius for it. Witness the
millions that they are piling up to no
good end, and for no great purposes.
These millions speak we'll for their
greed-if anything can speak well of
greed: and this is the only tribute that
will ever be paid to them-that they
succeeded we'll in what they started out
to do. As witnesses to their success
they can call the ghosts of ruined men,
hungry women, and starving children,
and there will be no one to dispute
their testimony. Such is materialism
in its commonest form and in its
coarsest aspect.
