Stanley Rodgers Victim of Frac-

Over Robson.

ERANK COLE. a lightweight negro
IN pugilist of this city, died in a
hospital today from injuries re-
ceived last night in a boxing bout with
Stanley Rodgers at the boxing club
managed by Jack O'Brien. Rodgers
was held without bail by the police TO
await the action of the coroner. The
referee and several witnesses were also
held.
Cole was injured in the third round.
He received a solar plexus blow which
sent him TO the mat, his head striking
with terrific force. The crowd began
cheering at the apparent knockout. but
when a physician failed to bring Cole
back to consciousness the spectators
were dismissed and the fighter was re-
moved to the hospital, where it was
found he had sustained a fracture of
the skull. He never regained conscious
ness.
Stanley Ketchel, who is in training
in New York for his fight with Sam
Langford at Philadelphia on April 81,
has decided to lay aside for all time
the high-heeled boots of cowboy pat
tern which he has affected ever since
he appeared on the pugilistic horizon.
Ketchel believes that the high heels
are the cause of a certain leg weari-
ness which has come upon him more
or less severely in The course Of all his
longer battles.
High heels had become a sort Of
second nature with Ketchel, and even
his street shoes were made with three
nch lifts. Last week the fighter began
trying to train in m~occasins, and found
that the calves of his legs panied him
after each days work, but now the
soreness has worn away and Ketchel
insists that he will never again don a
pair Of stills.

Francisco, who was heralded by Jim

Reilly hold his own.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was not much business done at
the meeting Of the Stock Exchange to-
day. and but little disposition shown to
do any trading either as buyers or as
sellers. But slight change has been made
in the level of the prices which reflect
condition of the general market and 1t
may be said the state OF business gen.
orally.
A comparison of the figures in the cur
present time with those near the close of
the last calendar year shows a decline
which on an average Is computed to be
about point and a half throughout the
list.
In some instances an actual advance is
shown. as in the case Of Lanston. and
also Of Washington gas. The latter, in
spite Of the investigation in Congress,
which Is supposed usually to lead up to
legislation, has advanced somewhat while
from the little variation that has taken
traction securities 1t would not be con-
cluded that universal transfers was again
being agitated in Congress.
In fact, the verdict Of the market as
far as 1t can be interpreted from the stock
sheet, il apparently that there IL not 60
ing to be any legislation in either case.
While the opinion Of some who are inter-
ested in the traction situation is that uni
versal transfers will not be helpful in
two systems, they also believe that leg
islation of that sort will not be sustained
by the courts. In view Of this latter
phase 1t is not thought there Is much
prospect of such a provision being car
r1ed into effect Immediately.

PLACE LIMIT ON AWARD.
Commissioners Act Unfavorably on
Claim in Congress.

Unfavorable action Is recommended by
the Commissioners on a bill before Con-
gress for the relief of Frederick ]. Nc
CURE, trustee for Bessie ]. Mckinley.
whose property suffered some deprecia-
ton, according to the claim presented.
by the changes of grade made necessary
by the construction Of the Union station.
The Commissioners say, however. that If
Congress grants the relief It would be
we'll to set limit Of $500.
The property in question belonged to
Bessie J. Kibbey, "as beneficial owner"
but the claimants say 1t had been con-
tinuously assessed in the name of John
P. Franklin, executor and trustee. Under
a suit In equity 1t was decreed in Decen-
Der 1891, that Frederick ]. Mcclure be sub
stituted as trustee. The Commissioners
say 1.-The assessors Office failed to take
notice of this decree and carried the lot
enormously in the name of John p
Franklin, executor and trustee, although
the law requires the assessor to examine
the court records and take cognizance Of
the courts decree and titles affecting
real estate"
On account Of this mix-up the public
notice that grading had been done and
that the commission appointed to receive
claims did not reach the proper persons
in regard to this McKibbey property.

THE ITALIAN PENAL CODE.
Insanity or Suicide the Fate Of
Murderers.

From the New York Sun.
According to the Italian penal code,
which abolished capital punishment, the
first five years Of every life sentence are
to be spent in solitary confinement. The
prisoner is left in cell alone. watched
day and night lest he should commit
suicide; is not allowed to see any human
being. not even the guards; is not allowed
to talk to himself or read; is fed on q
bowl Of vegetable soup and a loaf of
bread only, and is allowed two hours'
exercise a day in courtyard shut in by
high walls.
This form OF punishment. which in Italy
is considered more humane than a death
penalty. invariably leads to insanity, and
prisoners serving life sentence prefer
death and strive to commit suicide before
they lose their reason completely. Only
a few prisoners succeed in committing
suicide. Bresci. the murderer OF King
Humbert, was one of these few, and he
hanged himself with a towel while the
guard who was watching him slept.
There is a special madhouse for crimi-
nails at Montelupo, near Florence. and the
majority Of its inmates are convicts sem
fenced to life Imprisonment. Recently
the Institution was visited by a party of
medical students, who furnish details
about the condition Of the two regicides.
Acciarito and Passanante, who are both
insane.
Acciarito, who attempted the life of
King Humbert in 1897, believes that he
IL the King OF Italy and that Victor
Emmanuel Is usurper. Five years Of
solitary confinement made him forget en-
tirely that he was an anarchist ana 4
sworn enemy to all kings. Passante,
who stabbed King Humbert In 1878. has
one hand entirely paralyzed and is at
flicted with imbecility
The brfgand Musolino has recently been
conveyed to the Montelupo mAdhouse,
which Is the last refuge of criminals who
in other countries would have been SEN
fenced to death. and here In Italy instead
of losing their lives lose their minds.
Whenever q secret of the criminal mad
house is made public italians realize the
cruelty Of cellular segregation and a re-
form Is invoked in parliament. Deputy
Di Nicola has now taken the matter up
and Is striving to bring about the aboi-
ishment Of the cellular segregation which
he qualities as being 'even more hateful
than the pain Of DEATH
