THREW UP HIS TEETH. Havel Aekaewledament mt Prime right New York.

Nov. 27. About two hun dred leading club men of this city witnessed the prize fight to a hmsh to nignt between Cal McCarthy, of Jersey City, and Mike Nolan, of England, for the feather weight chamDionship of the world. The men left this city early in the evening on a barge where the ring was pitched and the light took place in Tappan Zee Bay, near Nyack on tbe Hudson. It was a fierce fight and was won by McCarthy in the seventh round, The fis ht began at 8.40 p.

m. Nearly everyone present looked upon McCarthy as sure and easy winner. Motan was anxious and went at McCarthy nercely from the start, xle led tbree times at McCarthy without landing. McCarthy adopted the "Jack Dempsey" tactic and let his opponent do all the fighting, he devoting his attention to stopping his opponent's blows. McCarthy watched his chances and trusted to land a blow when he caught his antagonist off his guard.

By this method he secured first blood before the close ot the round by planting a good right hander over Nolan mouth. Mcuartny was as quick as a cat in the second round in getting awav trom Holan and avoiding punish ment. He continued to let Nolan do all the leading. It was very evident in the third round that McCarthy, knowing he had no easy task to perform, was holding back in order to let bis opponent wind him elf, although he never lost an opportunity to try to set in a knock out blow. The bet ting was 200 to 40 on McCarthy and a number of beta at these figures were taken.

In the fourth round Nolan again forced the fighting, and made matters so lively for McCarthy that he gained many mends ana brought the betting down to 100 to 25 in favor of McCarthy. Nolan showed up in good shape in the fifth round, and after landing five straight left handed leads on McCarthy without a return, the betting dropped down to 60 to 30 in favor of McCarthy, who still kept up the dodging tactics, and just before the call of time he got an opening and landed a vicious upper cut on Nolan's right eye, which almost closed it. In the sixth round Nolan again forced the fighting and followed it up to great advantage. McCarthy braced up and fought his man almost to a standstill, in fact he was so busily interested in his work that he paid no attention to the call of time, but ran after Nolan and hit him in the face as he was returning to his corner. A cry of "foul" was heard from all aide of the nng, and there was great excitement.

It was some time before peace could be restored. Then the referee, a prominent sporting man of New York city, to the astonishment of every one, made the announcement that there bad been so mncb noise that McCarthy had not heard the call of "time." This decision was received with a groan. The seventh and last round was a short one. It lasted just one minute and three seconds. Both men forced the fighting.

McCarthy finally ended the battle by a swinging left hander on Nolan's right jaw, filling bis mouth with his teeth. Nolan was not "knocked out," but threw np one hand for McCarthy to stop, and spat bis teeth out into the other hand. The fight was then given to McCarthy. FOILED BURGLARS. VMeves lm Mac Maete, Canandaiooa, N.

Nov. 27. This town was the scene of a most dramatio burglary last night. The men who proposed to burgle met a decided obstacle to their purpose in the persons of Daniel Mead and his plucky wife. The burglars were engaged in their work when Mead and his wile appeared upon the scene.

A struggle ensued. Mead was asoourageous as his wife, which is saying a great deal. They grappled with the men, and Mrs. Mead fought ao pluckily that her arm was broken in the struggle. The noise made by the tussle and the cries for help aroused the attention of people, and the burglars, seeing there was no hone except in a hasty night, made on in hot naste.

Haw ne Vow neewreal eV ar 4tecat, Delivered the mlmmmw Ow te the Thtof, aael Acted New York, Nov. 27. The National City Bank in Brooklyn has cashed three forged checks in four days. They were all drawn in the name of Ulapp grocers, 979 Fulton street, Brooklyn, for bzzh, 9)230 and B75U respectively. 1 ne first payment was made on Saturday, the second on Monday, and the third yesterday.

The two first checks were cashed in the usual manner, each being made payable to a oirxerent person, ana tne casmer nas no recollection of the person who presented them. The operator, probably suspecting that some discovery might have been made whioh would make it dangerous for him to visit the bank, utilized the services ot the telephone and a district telegraph messen ger dot in cashing the third check. About 1Z.3U o'clock, tne ousiest nour at the bank, there was a call on the telephone tor the cashier. A message, purporting to be trom the Ulapp Brothers, was received that a District Telegraph messenger boy was then on his way to the bank with check for $750, made payable to and asking the cashier if he would pleasi pay it, as it was all ngnt. me oasnier promised that he would do so, never sus pecting that there was any crooked business in the matter.

He made a brief note of the message. A few minutes before this incident occurred the branch office of the American District Telegraph office at 1100 Fulton street was called up by telephone, and a request came that a messenger boy should be sent forthwith to the store of the Clapp Brothers, about three blocks distant. Fourteen year old Willie Rush responded. and as he was hurrying to the store a young man met him almost in front ot it, and, handing him a check, told him to go with it aa quickly as possible to the National City Bank and get it cashed, adding "When you get the money be careful to put it away in yonr pocket, and do not lose a moment in coming back to the store." The boy lumped on a passing car and faithfully performed his mission. He stepped np to the cashier's desk at the bank, handed in the check, and, after writ ing bia name on the back, received niou, lie tacked the big roll at bills away in an inside pocket, left the bank and got aboard the first car going np Fulton street.

When the car had reached Washington avenue, which is about three blocks from the store of the Clapp Brothers, the young man who had given him the check boarded the car, and, taking a seat alongside of him, re marked Well, you have been a long time going down town and getting back. Now, give me that money." The boy drew the roll or bills out ot bis pocket and handed it to the man, who dropped it into the outside pocket ot his overcoat. After riding a block or further on and before reaching the Clapp store the stranger gave the boy a fitty cent piece and jumped ott tne car. At this point the boy began to suspect that he had been naed in a dishonest transaction. In stead of continuing his journey to his office, he got oft the ear as son aa it reached the Clapp store, and in aa few words as possi ble explained the whole matter to one of the Clapp Brothers.

Mr. Clapp at onos saw that the bank had been victimized in the same of his firm, and he sent one of his clerks with the boy to look for the thief. The boy fairly flew along the street toward the place where the stranger got off the car, ana as ne appro acnea tne ice cream saloon of Raid A in Fulton street and Clinton avenue, be exclaimed to his companion, "There he is 1" pointing to a young man standing in front of the sail Hardly had the recognition by the boy taken place before the young man went into the saloon. The boy clapped his hands for toy. feeling assured that the tellow was caged in ths ice cream saloon, and he and the clerk concluded to remain outside and bag him as soon as he came out.

The thief did not come out of the sa loon, and finally they entered, only to una tnat their bira naa Mown. The thief, with the most remarkable coolness, came into the store while Mr. Reid and his superintendent were standing behind the counter, walked to one of the windows in the rear, and, without giving a word of explanation, opened it and dropped to the yard a distance ol three or four feet. Aa sooa as be had recovered from astonishment Mr. Reid went to the window, which the fellow did not even close behind him, but on looking into the yard he could not see any trace of him.

He had, in fact, passed through a door leading from the yard into Clinton avenue. The i tiger boy was almost heartbroken when he found that the fellow had escaped. SPIRITUALISM IN COURT. Cbm le tebleraai Wklch IhvmWm Prlenlplei mt lb Belter. Grand Rapids, Mich Nov.

The miners' organisation have receivefi the co operation of the Kghta ef Labor and Federation of Labor in'a boy sotting campaign against William h. Soott.

The war is to be carried on at Chicago, on the lakes, in Western Pennsylvania and in the anthracite region ot Ibis state. At Chicago and vicinity the school boards and municipal authorities have been urged to buy no coal from L. Scott Company or the Brazil Black Coal Com pany, The request, it is claimed, has been accompanied by suggestions of political influence impossible to ignore. Labor leaders here point to Mr. Scott's recent letter to Governor Fifer, of Illinois, wherein he says he can tell no ooal even at a reduction, for proof of the effectiveness of the boycott.

In addition, they refer to the recent forced sale of the Chicago and Indiana railroad as the result of the same influ ences, and claim to have ruined the business of a New Albany, manufacturer once worth Decease be worked in harmony with the Scott clique. Lake steamers have also been induced to quit psironiaing ocott interests. i sar. Been vaas saMereaca, Mr. ScoU is the largest individual coal operator in the western part of this State, and in addition has several collieries Shamolnin in the anthracite field.

Through his larga railway connections and his sys tem of handling labor he is able to constantly andersell competitors and hitherto has maintained a trade no rivalry could weaken. The United Labor interests claim, however," that by their appeals to school boards, town and city officials and employees of labor who are in politics, they can eiwer deprive Mr. Scott of a large pro portion of his business Or force him to the terms asked by his workmen. Another move proposed by the labor or ganizations is to interfere with all Mr. Scott's political plana, whether he becomes a candidate for office himself, or champions others.

His interest will be opposed by the trades unions and Knights of Labor. This movement is expected to have a rar reaching effect on the next gubernatorial campaign, and is especially interesting taken in connection with the activity of Mr. Scott and his lieutenants in Democratic State politics. THIRTEEN WARD CONSTABLES, Bleated la rckreuy Next A atew Aet vS AewMv HM It Imperative. It has been said that the terms of a certain number of the ward constables of Reading will expire next spring, and that those who were chosen at the last February election for a term of three years will certainly hold over.

This is a mistaken idea seme of the constables have, because since the election of last February the State Legislature passed an act, which was approved by Governor Beaver on May 4, 1889, which authorizes the election of constables for three years in cities of the sec ond and third classes. Heading being city. of the second class, of course comes uudeev.4he provisipna of the act. It provides that the qualified voters' of each ward in cities of the second and third classes tkail on the third Tues day ef February next (February 20, 1890,) and triennially thereafter elect a properly qualified person for oonstable in each of the said wards, who shall serve tor three Tears. 1 ne set also provides that when ever a constable shall be appointed by the Court, as provided by existing laws, the constable so appointed shall serve lor the unexpired term.

This not repeals all other acts that were heretofore in force. According to its provisions constables must be chosen in all of the thirteen wards st the coming municipal election, and that those who were chosen last February can not hold over.

h. ftnarX 1 GIVE THANKS. SOME THINGS' FOR WHICH READING SHOULD BE GRATEFUL. ey Was arapesadtsM Use Dwy A Pr per wa ear weir tne Oftjr cnarl tte a Vkat Shawl Be Heaseas Thanksgiving day I A day which the President of the United States and also the Governor of the State in which we live have set apart for us to take a breathin apeu in our tireless rush toward the grave, and to return tbanka for the unnumbered blessings we have enjoyed during the past 36S days. But how many will do so? Instead of retiring to night to that perfect rest which a consciousness of having tor at least one day in the year been grateful to the Giver of all good gifts for His liberal bounty, will not the great majority go to bed to wrestle with the most horrible nightmare that a dyspeptio, overloaded stomach is capable of producing Many yea, most of us acton this day as though our thanks should be expressed through our stomachs in stead of our hearts; to day we eat, drink and are merry the latter will make many most mighty merry to morrow we will feel sad, especially that part of our anatomy DIPFEREMT WATS OF OIVIHO THANKS.

There are nearly as many different ways of giving thanks as there are kinds of peo ple. At least each one has bis or her own peculiar way of doing so. The man or woman within whose heart burns an un quenchable love for Him From whom all bleeelngs flow, will go to church this morning and in devout prayer and song render true thanks for the kindnesses showered upon them. Another class, freed for a brief season from the everyday labors of life, will spend the day about the family hearthstone, sur rounaea ny tnose nearest and dearest, and unconsciously breath a prayer of gratitude ror tne n.essings oi nome ana kindred, And. then, there is another class, far ton I numerous, who will be overcome with no, not feelings of gratitude for what the year nas orongni mem dui with tnat which makes misfit hats for to morrow.

We are peculiar people and what one eniovs another doesn't; hence the different ways of spenaing lnancsgiving uay. BEeSONS FOB THANKSGIVING. Everyone, even the children of Borrow, can look back over the past year and find something to be thankful for. As a city we have many reasons for giving thanks. Onr industries, some of which were idle durina? the earlier part of the year, have again re sumed, giving unemployed labor employ ment, ana netter still, one more very important industry is to be added to those already here, and the prospects for further additions to our labor employing establishments are brighter now than ever.

True, the beginning of the year witnessed one of the greatest calamities in the history of needing, and sorrow was brought to many homes; yet those who suffered then have reason for gratitude, for scarcely had the ones ot the injured and dying been heard before our with one spontaneous outburst of sympathy, cam 3 to the aid of those upon whom the blow fell heaviest, and by a most liberal contribution of their means, nobly assisted the unfortunate and kept them from want. Other matters, too, there are for which thanks can be ottered. The streets of the city have been remarkably free from duet, especially during the past several weeks. The Highway Department need not be thanked for this, however. True.

many of the streets of the citr are almost impassable, and complaints come from all quarters. The city has no money to fix bad streets. But be thankful. If the streets were all in first class Condi. tion each thoroughfare might have a street railway running through it.

Our City councils spent an tne money appropriated to tneir use long oeiore tne present muni to me ir use uwk oeiore inn preaent muni I i mvu hi euuw lut ejKt nurture. excepting a couple ot sewers, and one ot them burst, be thankful that Councils hasn't mortgaged the town and placed na at tbe mercy ot some JSnglisb syndicate. Our water supply is abundant, thanks to an oc casional shower and the Maidencreek pipe line. ui course, we eaa expect the oixin street or Fifth street bridge the coming ear, because the County Commissioners ava reduced tbe tax rate, and won't help ids city Dim enaer one. dui be thankful, for through most zealous care the Uommissioners have prevented anyone trom stealing tbe renn street and Bingaman street bridges, this great feat having been accomplished by the employ, ment of watchmen during the day at a coat ol about a year.

1 here's lots more to be thankful for. We cannot expact to have everything, and as long as the city carte dirt aad stone upon the streets for the rains to wash away; as long as the Police Department is able to borrow wheel barrows for patrol service; aa long as it's a tree tor all race tor tbe postmastership. and as long as our Conccilmea manage to keep out ot jail, although they are indicted and muat appear at iMcember Uourt for maintaining a nuisance on Hill road, there ia a little to be tnanntul lor. Ill OTHERS THlSKrOU Aa you gather around the festal board pause for a moment and see If there is not some one who baa not been blessed as yoa nave ana to wnom a very utile charity would be cause for thanksgiving. There the two hospitals.

A very little may be the means ot bringing sunshine to those who are suffering from aoci ect and disease. As you look into tbe faces of tbe little ones gathered around the heavily laden Thanksgiving dinner table remember tbe little unfortu nates in the Home for Friendless Children and St. Catharine's Orphan Asylum. They know not the care and love of mother father. Fathers and mothers know how little makes childraa happy, and this is an opportune time to make the inmates of those two noble charities very happy.

If all who eaa would give bat a little of their abundance to those whom miafortune nas overtaken, this would truly be a day of thanksgiving. ate at BalMtsa Leas.
