LEACH CROSS WINS FIGF7
Cy Smith Severely Punished In Ten
Fast Rounds.

New York, Aug. 24.-Lcach Cross of
New York defeated Cy Smith Of Jcr-
sey City in ten fast rounds of fighting
at the. Bedford Athletic club, Brook
lyn. 1t was the first time Cross has
been seen here since his defeat in the
forty-first round at San Francisco by
Fighting Dick' Hyland.
Both men were admittedly above the
lightweight limit of 1873 pounds as
they took their corners. At the tap of
the bell Smith carried the fight to
Cross with rush. He was both
clever and rugged and for five rounds
kept his man covering up.
In the sixth round Cross let out n
series of long range left jabs and
short arm jolts that puffed Smiths
eyes, cracked his lips and fiattened his
nose.
AS Smith lost speed Cross put on
more. In the ninth he outfought Smith
at every point and ended the round
with heavy knockdown.
Smith rose grOggy but game for the
last round. He blundered through
continued heavy punishment and was
glad TO get the bell. 1t was clearly
Cross fight.

MAYOR sTOY IN CONTEMPT.
Atlantic City's Mayor Refuses to Re
ceive Saloon CLOSING Order.

Atlantic city. \. j., Aug. 24.-Inter-
city has been intensified by the action
of Mayor f. +. Stoy, who refused to
receive Il notice from Attorney General
Wilson ordering him to close Atlantic
City saloons on Sunday.
The notice was served upon him in
his office by David Johnson, a men,
Der of the reformcrs organization.
The mayor declared that he knew the
contents Of the notice. which gives the
names and addresses of thirty-eight
hotel prOprietors who are alleged to
have sold liquor on three Sundays of
the present month, and he refused to
accept service even after the contents
attorney general had been read to him
Under the state law the refusal tC
act within ten days on an order issued
by the attorney general makes a city
official liable to indictment for a mis-
demeanor The heads Of the reform
movement declare that they will cause
the arrest of the mayor.
Reform lawyers claim that the open
refusal of the mayor to receive Il docu
ment signed by the attorney general
lays him open to charges of contempt
OF state courts. Attorney General vii
sons action follows an appeal made
to him in Trenton by the reformcrs
who have secured his cooperation in
the attempt to close the saloons here
on Sunday.

AT a regular meeting of the di-
rectors of the Wayne County Saw
ings Bank, held on August 10, 1909,
it was unanimously
Resolved, That in the death of
Horace c. Hand, Honesdale loses
one of her foremost citizens, up
right, honest and honorable. His
word was true and never doubted; /;
he hated lie, cunning and deceit; !;
right, with him, was always before
might. He was intensely patriotic
and loyal to his country, state, coun-
ty and borough, and ever ready to
lend his aid in deeds of good citizen
ship.
In the bank, he was always
courteous and kind and though for
number of years his physical in
firmities prevented him from taking
active part in its management, we
were always glad to have him with
us, and it is source of qualification
to us all that he remained until his
death, the President of the bank he
loved so we'll and for which he had
done so much in he past. We shall
miss his visits to us and shall, long
cherish his cheerful and sunny
ways, high character and wise coun-
sci.
He was an ideal Christian gentle
man, and our recollections of him
will always be like a benediction in
years to come. His good wife will
lose a true and loyal husband; his
children, a tender, patient and low
ing father, to whom his leaves a
precious legacy of character, to be
priced above riches and worthy of
emulation by all.
Resolved, That this minute be
spread upon the records of the
Wayne County Savings Bank, and
a copy of the same be sent to his
surviving family, to whom sympathy
is extended in their bereavement.

The passenger train on the Della
ware and Hudson railroad from Car
bondale to Scranton, was derailed
at a switch nearly opposite the Mar
vine shaft, as it was about to pull
into the Providence station Tuesday
afternoon.
The derailed cars, ploughed near
ly a hundred yards after leaving the
tracks, ripping up the ties and
smashing the windows in the coaches.
There was caboose standing ON
the middle track, but, fortunately,
the foremost car of the two deraiIed
did not touch it, or the accident
might have been much more serious.
The baggage car and the first coach
remained on the tracks, as did the
engine.

All saloons in the town have been
ordered closed.
Strikers threaten to resort to the
wholesale use of dynamite If the ma.
"tionai- -Euurdsmen are summoned.
Leniency heretofore displayed by the
constabulary toward the strikers is alb,
sent today. Stringent measures are be
ing used. and the least overt act com
mitted by the strikers is met with /;
riot stick or the hoofs of policeman's
horse.
Attempts are being made to prevent
the holding of mass meeting at the
historic Indian mound, where up t,
this time the meetings of the idle mel
have been held daily. Thousands OF
strikers began their journey to the
mound today, but many Of them were
forcibly and abruptly halted and start
ed in an opposite direction.
Orders have been issued to the con.
stabulary, deputy sheriffs and special
police to shoot at the first sign of
trouble. The practice of the past sev,
eral weeks of firing into the air has
been abolished, and from now on
"Shoot to kill" is the order.
