Taylor was the ex- champion of England, having been the second man to hold the title, and his battle with Faulkner was the first "come-ba stunt in ring history The veteran. then about fifty, fought with desperate valor, but was beaten down. He took such drubbing that he never wholly recovereds and in the following December the old veteran breathed his last. Like so many oth- CT early English champions, Taylor was a Norfolk man, and was known as George the Barber.'. He claimed the title after the defeat Of Ffgg in 1784. and defended it against Prince Boswell. a. gypsy, and Jack Slack. Ear ly in his career he was whipped by Jack Broughton, but the young wa terman did not then claim tine title. When Broughton later became recog- nized champion, and opened a fash ionab1e amp phitheatre in London, Tay- Tor started a rival establishment, but eventually failed. He was s.captain Of the light" when Slack took the title away from Broughton. It was the ferocfty which marked thet battle be- tween Taylor and Boswell that led Broughton to devise the first code Of boxing rules

BIG BOOM EXPECTED
 IN HORSE MARKETS

1 New York, Aug. 5-Horse dealers
 throughout the country are looking
 forward to a big boom in their busi-
 ness as the result of the great de- mand that will be made for horses for cavalry, artillery and draught uses by the warning nations of the old world.
 Already it is understood, agents of
 the western and southern states for options on horse sand mules.
 Local agents are preparing to fill orders that they expect will be placed with them in the near future.
 "Of course things have not shaped up yet" said L. R. Dunk1ey, auction eer for Van Tassen 6 Kearney, 1S0 East Thirteenth street, .'but it won't be long before agents will commence to place orders. The price of horses and mules will naturally go. up.
 The great problem to how the animals shall be shipped to the other side will be up to the men who make the purchases. It would be out of tho question for the. dealer here to guar antee to deliver to the other side, as would be contraband of war and such l action would be a violation u1 neu- l traHty.
 k There was a great demand for horses and mules in this country during the Boer war, English agents practically stripping the west and south In St Louis, two weeks ago a cotton or sugar p1anta tfon mule was valued at $zo0 but the price has since gone up, owing to the expectation that the demand soon will be very great

 As for his resigning the presidency and leaving the city, MT. Wallingford had other business interests, and as MT. Bangs engine was not at thai time ready for the market, as they all knew when they invested, he could not afford to remain, so in order not tc clog the operations of the company he had resigned his office. He was sorry now thatthe had done so. As much as he liked these gentlemen personally he was compelled to charge them with having been remiss in their duties not only to themselves, but to him.
 The eleven stockholders and the five newspaper men then present looked at one another in incredulous amazement. Pete Scallop recovered his teeth with difficulty. President Morley of the Commercial bank observed to Mr. Paul son:

SERIOUS RUN ON
EAST SIDE BANKS
Uneasiness Among Depositors
Following Bankruptcy of kass'
chain-Majority Foreigners.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Withdrawals
of deposits from private and savings
banks on the East Side, begun by
foreigners yesterday, day after the
suspension of the three banks of
Abraham Kass, continued without
abatement today.
Two banks appeared to be most af-
fected by today's run. Each had
taken steps overnight to meet the
situation. Each announced that all
depositors were free to withdraw ac-
counts in full, without giving sixty
days notice.
The only explanation of the runs
was a general feeling of uneasiness
among the foreign-born depositors
since the closing of the Kass banks.
Crowds began to form in line at 2
o'clock this morning outside the two
institutions, which bore the brunt of
today's run. When the doors were
opened the lines extended for several
blocks. 1t was estimated that more
than 1900 depositors were waiting
at each bank.

FINDS PROGRESS
IN CIVIL SERVICE
ALL OVER NATION
New Jersey Mentioned as One
of the States in Which Re-
form Has Been Created.

CHICAGO, Dec. "A review Of the
progress Of the civil service move
ment and an outline Of what should
be sought 10 further the advance was
presented today TO the thirty-fourth
annual meeting OF the National Civil
Service Reform League by Robert D.
jerks, of Philadelphia. chairman Of
the council of the association, in his
annual report.
Mr.. jerks declared that the achieve
ments in the year demonstrated
constant growth of popular sentiment
throughout the country in favor OF the
merit and efficiency system, and said:
Even in Congress the tide has
turned against the spokesman. The
passage of the Gullop amendment,
which sought to throw open the post
| offices for patronage purposes, was
defeated
He pointed out that in New Jersey,
Georgia, Missouri and California
notable progress had been made in
putting civil service systems into
effect
THE business men Of the country"
he said, have united in insisting that
all positions in the diplomatic and
consular services must be filed by
men selected not for political reasons,
but for demonstrated fitness and
ability"
Recognition of the Federal civil SER
vice commission was accorded In the
words:
1.-THE league notes with approval the
efforts of the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission to establish an effl-
cheney system in accordance with
/ broad powers given 1t by Congress"
Much of the report was a review
of the postofffce legislation and the
methods employed in selecting post
masters for small offices, and it was
strongly urged that fitness and not
| political reasons govern all appoint
ments.
OF the work before the league Mr.
jerks said:
First, the ground already gained
for the merit system must be pro-
| tected. Never before has there been
such need of eternal vigilance.
Second, an energetic advance
campaign must be entered upon and
maintained to gain legislation which
will provide for the competitive clas-
sification of first. second and third
class postmasters.
Third, advantage should be taken
, of a great opportunity to cooperate
with the American Highway Asso-
citation and other organizations to
bring about such legislation as will
take out of politics the construction
and maintenance of public highways.
Fourth, the league should spare
no efforts to reinforce the efforts of
| individuals and organizations to-
wards the establishment of the merit
system in the various common
wealths, and especially at this time
| in Virginia and Minnesota.

Germany Praises U. S.
Efforts to Aid Belgian
War Victims, Says Gerard

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The commit
tee of mercy today made public the
following cablegram from James w.
Gerard, the American ambassador at
Berlin. which was forwarded here by
the state department at Washington:
THE German government is en-
tirely in sympathy with the laudable
work of the American Commission
for Belgian Relief.
THE naval forces cannot lawfully
seize food on neutral ships bound for
neutral ports. Germany Will not in
terfere with unneutral ships bound
for Holland with food from United
States, even if food is destined for
Belgium. Subject to revocation, the
German government agrees to permit
unneutral ships to carry food for Bel
GUM via Dutch ports, and will guar
antee that the food is utilized for the
purpose intended.
THE German government recon-
mends, however, that. as a precaution,
such unneutral ships shall be fur
nished with a certificate from COM
petent American authorities, testify
ing that such food carried by UNI
neutral ships via Dutch ports Is in
tended for the relief of the Belgians,"

FRANKLIN, Dec. 3.-(Special.)-
The new Presbyterian Church herewas
dedicated last night with people from
New York, Rochester. Paterson,
Newton and the surrounding towns
present.
The act of dedication, conducted by
Rev. DIR. Edgar A. Hamilton, consisted
of a responsive exercise, in which

The new Franklin Presbyterian
Church commands a view of the Kit
tatinny range for a distance of forty
miles, covering a sweep of fertile
fields, wooded lands, mountain scenery
and valleys that slope from the cele-
brated High Point to the Delaware

of a community that is noted as pos
sessing the largest zinc mine in the
world, the output of which is 81 per
cent. of the zinc mined in the United
States, producing an average of three
quarters of million dollars worth
per month. Robert NJ. Catlin, super
intendent of the New Jersey Zinc
Company, is authority for the state
ment that no less than six minerals
have been found in the neighborhood
of the church site that have been du
plicated nowhere else in the world.
The church, formerly known as the
Reformed Church of America, was
received into the Presbytery of New
ton April II, 1894. The first pastor

DR.. Holman's method of sermoniz-
ing is unique. His sermons, while

ton. The trial of Jesus of Nazareth
was portrayed. The audience was ap-

to Die in Ohio Tomorrow

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 3.--Two MUIR
fierers, one youth only nineteen
years of age, and the other a negro,
will die in the electric chair at the
Ohio penitentiary early tomorrow
morning unless Governor Cox grants
ali eleventh-hour respite. The
doomed prisoners are Harley Beard

Beard was convicted of killing three
members of the Massie family on a
farm near Ironton, last May. His
victims, Nancy A. Massie, seventy
