TOMMY SHEA OUTPOINTS MARCKS Fast Bout Staged at Mouders Union Smoker-New Haven
 Boy Shows Speed all the way-Young Edwards Bests
 Joe Gates-Exhbiton by Malcom and Kristek.

Chief among the attractions at the smoker held by the Moulders union, local No. 126. Thursday evening in tfoehlichkeit hall was a snappy ten round bout between Joe Marcks of Eighwood and Tommy Shea of New Haven, in which the latter had the better of nearly every round. The enthusiastic crowd was the largest which has seen a boxing bout in Nor Wich in many long day and was doubtless the most satisfied at the close of the bout as well. There was standing room only, and little of that, when Capt. Danny Murphy of the Athletics, officiating as timekeeper, sounded the gong for the main bout. Everyone appeared to be enjoying the flest kind of time all through the e, ening
 There were well rendered vocal so- lbs by Stephen McDonough, Joseph Gauther Robert Caruso and William Delaney. Dougherty's orchestra fur nished music between the other events or the programme.
 For prelim Young Edwards of this city and Joe Gatas of New London exchanged Wallops for four rounds, during three of which the local dusky phenom planted his fists at will on
 
 round was pretty even. the one young ster all in from assmilating much punishment, the other winded from meting out such a severe beating. MT. ConnorS of Boston refereed and George Monty held the watch.
 Billy Clabby refereed the main bout. Marchs looked to be not in the best of condition and some ten pounds the heavier of the two. Shea showed lots of speed and was too shifty for Marcks to reach. Shea landed two blows to his opponents one all through the bout, often stepping in with a left and right without return. Shea seemed willing to mix 1t up and his style pleased the crowd Marcks. was out boxed at long range and was only able to make a showing at infighting. Marcks had a good defense. but was unable to get to Shea effectively Though no. great damage was done by either boxer. Shea easily had the lead on points.
 Following the boxing. Malcolm and Kristek entertained with a variety of clever hand balancing stunts. Re- treatments of sandwiches and soda were served and cigars were passed Among the guests of the evening were A. s. Hammond of the New York of flee of the McCrum- Howell company and Business Agent Murphy of the New England conference board of the Moulders union.
 The committee in charge Of the af- fair was composed of T. A. Carey, William Fitzgerald. Daniel Beebe. John Fahey, Thomas Wallace, Daniel Couni- han and John Williamson.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
AN IMPROVED TONE. Market Shows Increased Stability and Underlying Firmness.

New York, Dec. 19.-There was an unmistakable improvement today in the tone of the stock market. After a brief period of unsettlement early in the day. prices moved upward, and during the remainder of the session the market showed increased stability and underlying firmness. Stocks were in small supply and holders appar ently were reluctant to dispose of them at current prices. Bear traders, in consequence, were able to make little headWay.
 Announcement after the close yes- terday that the Union Pacific man. agement had been unable to agree with the attorney general upon plan of dissolution aroused some appre- hensions as to the effect upon the liar riman stocks Both Union Pacific and opening. Union Pacific sold at 154, loss of two points, and Southern Pacific at 104 1-2, the low point of the recent decline and a loss over night of IA Other stocks gave way at the same time, but opening prices were generally the lowest, and the up- ward swing soon set in. Bear cover ing assisted in the rise, which reached one to four points among a number of important issues. Union Pacific rose nearly four points from it's early low quotation and the copper shares, Steel and American Tobacco developed marked strength. Reading was ad- vanced smartly, but did not touch the high mark reached after the announce ment yesterday of the dividend in crease.
 Decision of the Bank of England di- rectors to maintain the } per cent. discount rate for the rate for the present was of only sentimental in f1uence here, although an increase in the rate had been thought probable. The prospect for adjustment of Euro pean political problems was presumed to have induced the directors to hold to the present rate in spite of the German demand for gold and the sharp decline in the proportion of the banks reserves to liabilities. Germany was a bidder for money in this market today, offering eight per cent for over the year funds, but even at this rate was unable to procure them. AL though there was little change in the local money market, bankers are un- willing to release funds in view of the requirements of the year end period.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value, $1.13S,000
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

Huegns Wants More Time.
 The intimation given in the Pitts burg clubs headquarters Is that Konetchy will wear a Pirate uniform next season. Huggins has asked Dreyfuss for more time in which to make the necessary arrangements for a trade. It is supposed that the time is needed to talk Mrs. Britton into seeing where she has a chance to strengthen her team. The story Is going around that Mrs. Britton is afraid to make any deal with Fred Clarke, because she thinks Clarke is certain to put one over" on her.
 This same fear is held by others in the National league, but if Mrs. Brit tons reluctance rests upon that point it is suggested that she might discuss matters with c. Webb Murphy and mention the Leach -Leifield- Hoffman Cole trade. It is conceded at Pittsburg that Clarke did not put over anything on the Cub owner upon that occasion. Clarke will not be interviewed upon this subject.
 Dreyfuss says Chief Wilson will never figure in the Pirate Cardinal deal.
 There is not man in the St. Louis outfit who is Wilson's equal" says Barney. "Konetchy is the only Car dinal we want. No use including Oakes, for we don't need him."

RridweII May cone Back.

If BridwelPs leg is all right he will be hard man to crowd out of short field" says Manager Evers of the Cubs When Bridwell was with the Giants he was one of the best fielding short stops in the league. He couldn't play with the Boston Nationals last year because of an attack of blood poison ing due to the fact that he stepped on a rusty nail. He recently assured me that he had recovered entirely and that is why we bought him from Bos- ton. As for Red Corridor, the short stop we got from Detroit, we have re- ceived conflicting reports as to his ability While several competent judges of talent say that he fell down with the Tigers when they tried him out last fall, others say that he was stale and could not do himself justice In the American association Corridor was phenom. He hit the ball hard and covered his position for Kansas City like whirlwind AS we got him for nothing he is worth 8 trial and he will get it when we reach the training camp in March"

With tho early opening of headduar-

 American Automobile association, the
 campaign of the organized motorists

 takes on new vigor and becomes cen

 While the principal headquarters of
 the A. A. A. will remain in New York,
 the associations policy of promoting inc plan of road building by the fed eral government has been found to
 necessitate such close and constant touch with the various federal agen-
 cies involved, including the office of public roads of the department of az ricult1re, the engineering corps of the United States army. the department of the interior, etc. that it. is felt the work can be greatly expedited through the maintenance of a permanent Wash ington offlee.

PAYS BIG INHERITANCE TAX
1t Was Levied on the Estate of Late Col.
John Jacob Astor.

Albany, N. "a cheek for SO, 1850, 900
was received by State Comptroller Soh-
mer in payment of the advanced inherit
ance tax on the estate of the late Col.
John Jacob Astor, who persisted in the
Titanic.
The temporary tax was paid at this
time in order to obtain q 5 per cent re-
bate allowed by law if the tax. is paid
within six months after the death of the
decedent. This rebate is equivalent to
1885, 600. The temporary tax represents
an estate valued at about SIS, o00, 900,
although the final tax will not be fixed
until after the estate has been appraised.
The payment is the largest inheritance
tax paid on a single estate since
the enactment of the law twenty-seven
years ago, and is nearly one-third as
large as the entire tax collected during
the fiscal year ending September 80.

Decided Lack of Interest in the Annual
Reunion.

Jackson.-A meeting of the committee
in charge of arrangements for the an

Grams was held at the county courthouse.
The reports of the various committees
showed a lack of interest and absence
of the spirit of cooperation usually man
ifested when Jackson is about to have
o great public gathering.
The committee hopes that the citi-
zens Of Jackson will open their homes
for the veterans who will be here dur
ing the reunion, and also that there will
be a more liberal response to the appeals
from the finance committee.
A meeting of the Robert A. Smith
Camp, Confederate Veterans, will be

ans are earnestly urged to be present at
that meeting, and also members of the

Fort Smith, Ark.-While Il half-hun
dred heavily armed and mounted sheriITs,
deputies, postal inspectors, railway de,
t~ectiyes aud special officers formed q
Gordon about a spot near Poteau, Okla,
where they had been informed valuable
loot, stolen from a Kansas City Southern
passenger train, was hidden, and waited
all night for the bandits to return for
their spoils, four masked men raided
n"orthbound Kansas CICy Southern train
between Hatfield and Potter in Polk coun-
ty, this state, Merrill Burgett was bad
ly beaten by the bandits, after he had
shot one Of their number as he chung to
the outside of the coach. After q des-
perate battle the three remaining BAN
dts fled empty-handed, and no trace of
them has been found.
The holdup, the third in this section
in a week, was the elimination of the
most sensational in the history of the
southwest. While Sheriff George Noble
of Leore cofunty, Okla, and large posse
led by six b%loodhounds were pursuing
a gang of bandits, who had held up and
robbed a Rock Island passenger train, be-
tween Wister and Howe, Okla, the night
before, Luther Reynolds, q white man, ap.
peared at Sheriff G~ilstrap's office at Stig.
Ter, Okla, and declared he was one of the
men who held up the Kansas City South
ern train at Poteau. He said the gang had
planted several thousand dollars taken
from the train, at q point near Poteau,
and intended returning Thursday night
for the loot.
This information caused Sheriff Noble
to call off the man-hunt, and all avail
able officers were rushed to this city,
where under the cover of darkness last
night they proceeded to the place where
Reynolds said the bandits would meet.
Reynolds also accompanied them and
with the officers patiently awaited the
arrival of his companions, Daylight
came and the vigil was abandoned.
