When the teams lined up the disparity in the size of the giants of Old Nassau and the men from New’ Brunswick w r as very apparent. But when Hildebrand Dm one hundred yards for a touchdown within forty seconds after play had commenced the game degenerated into a farce* The Rutgers’ line bent like reeds in a storm before the fiery onslaught of the Tigers and the Varsity backs made their gains through holes as big as houses.

Oct. 6.—Dan Creedon and Kid McCoy met to-night and signed articles for a finish fight, to take place between Dec. 15 and Dec. 30, and * 'Honest John” Kelley, on behalf of the Canadian Athletic Club, got the attraction with an offer of $7,500. There was a misunderstanding as to the weight, creedon wanting to fight at 15* pounds, weigli in at 2 o’clock the day of the fight and McCoy wanting to make the same weight, but to weigh in at the ringside. They finally agreed to fight at catch weights. Three sets of articles were drawn up. McCoy and Creedon signed them and then the bidding began. W. A. Brady offered SIO,OOO and agreed to bring off the fight in Nevada next April; two San Franc*sco clubs made oilers on a percentage basis; Lewis Houseman, of Chicago, was willing to give $5,0C0. and then John Kelley put in a bia ot $7,500. agreeing to bring off the fight in Canada and within six hundred miles of New York.

Dixon Still Climupiou of lll** Class. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.—The decision “Smith wins,” rendered by George Green in the Smith-Dixon fight Monday night does not deprive Dixon of the featherweight championship of the world.

Had Smith knocked Dixon out in any one of the twenty rounds or had Dixon's seconds thrown up the sponge, or had Dixon failed to respond to the call of time in any of the rounds Smith wouid to-day be the featherweight champion of the world. But as it was, Dixon, at the end of the twentieth round, was strong and belligerent, consequently he did not surrender the championship by Green's decision. The decision was on points and nothing else. BOSTON LOsTtHE THIRD BALTIMORE HAS XOW AVON TWO GAMES OF THE CLP SERIES. No Mercy Shoxvn the New Champions’ Pitchers—Players Reserved by National Lengne Clubs. 0 BOSTON. Oct. 6.—The last game of the season and the third in the Temple cup series was as dull and uninteresting a contest as has been seen here for many a day. The Baltimores won with ridiculous ease, and closed their engagement here by practically exhausting the pitching talent of the Boston nine. In the three games all four of the new champion's crack twirlers have taken their turn in receiving the severest kind of pounding, and for the third successive game the home team was obliged to make a change before the game was over. A slight shower, however, came up just as the Bostons were ending their half and the game was called, the score reverting to the seventh and cutting off four runs and five hits for the visitors.

NEUMANN NOT WANTED ♦ ■ ■ EXEQUATUR. DGMKD THE AMERICAN CONSUL AT COLOGNE. ; ♦ He In Pcr.Nona Non Grata to the German Government-CliargreH Made Against Him I>t Artists. ♦ WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—According to a press dispatch from Berlin the German government has refused to recognize Ferdinand Neumann, of Illinois, who was nominated by President McKinley, on May 28, to be United States consul at Cologne. This news caused no surprise at the State Department. Ex-Congressman Neumann was appointed to his post last May from Illinois,, and went to Cologne soon afterwards. He has since exercised the functions of his office, but this has been only by the tolerance of the German authorities in order to afford them an opportunity to consider certain facts concerning him that had been brought to their attention. The State Department, it is said, never has received officially any charges against the appointee, although certain allegations were current that, if supported, would have made his selection properly objectionable to the German government. Some of these are connected with the world’s fair and a certain concert enterprise in which Neumann is said to have been interested ‘which resulted disastrously to some German artists. The action of tne German government in his case is final, as far as any post in Germany is concerned, for it is a well recognized right of a nation to withhold an exequatur at its own pleasure.

Queza It mango Recaptured. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-United States Consul Pringle, at Guatemala City, has cabled the State Department that the government forces have recaptured from the insurgents the town of Quezaltenango. This town was captured by the insurgents about two weeks ago. It lies about forty miles inland and is the capital of the province of that name. The State Department has gone as far as it deems expedient towards the protection of American interests in Guatemala by having the United States steamer Alert sent theie, although it is not expected that she can be of much service, as most of the revolutionary movement has been confined to the interior of the country beyond reach of a war ship. The two places on the coast where the Insurgents have appeared—Champerico and Ocas—have already been visited by the Alert, which arrived this morning at San Juan de Guatemala. Her commander merely reported his arrival to the Navy Department and his intention to return to Ocas.

(C oucltideci from First Page.) the 2Sth day of September, 1897, after a consultation with the other two directors of said company, he went to the Grand Hotel, in the city of Indianapolis, and demanded of Holt the return to the company of said sum of $5,000. That when he had demanded this sum of money, as aforesaid, Mr. Holt admitted to him that he had received the money, but said lie did not see how he could get the money together to refund it, and said Holt did return to him the said sum of money. ROYAL ROBINSON. Subscribed and sworn to this 30th day of September, 1897. AMOS R. HYNES. Notary Public. And the affiant further says that at or about 12 o’clock (noon) Oct. 5. 1897, while he and L. A. Fulmer were in the office of McBride & Denny, attorneys for the company, Mr. C. S. Denny was called to the telephone. and upon his return stated to affiant and Mr. Fulmer that he had been talking to Mr. E. M. Johnson, who wished to see him at the Grand Hotel at 1 o'clock. TAGGART WAS WITH HOLT. And that upon his return from the said Grand Hotel the said Denny told the affiant and L. A. Fulmer that he had there met Thomas Taggart. Ei. M. Johnson and Sterling R. Holt, and that the said Holt being advised by Mr. Johnson that he was legally liable to the Fulmer-Seibert Company in the sum of $5,000, then and there offered to him (Denny) for the said FulmerSeibert Company, the sum of $5,000; but that the payment of said sum was conditional upon his securing from L. A. Fulmer, George W. Seibert and the affiant their several promises that if the said sum was offered and accepted they would each and all of them forever remain silent as to such payment. And affiant further says that he and Mr. Fulmer accepted said conditions, provided Mr. Seibert would do so, and that they promised to telegraph, and did telegraph, to George W. Seibert, who was at that time at Bluffton, lnd., to come to Indianapolis at once, in order that he might also be a party to the agreement. And further, that the said Denny again went to the Grargl Hotel at 2 o’clock p. m., and upon his return exhibited to the affiant and L. A. Fulmer a check for $5,000, drawn upon the State Bank of Indiana, made payable to C. S. Denny, and signed by Sterling R. Holt, and that the said C. S. Denny told to the affiant and L. A. Fulmer that said check had been given him by the said Holt as an evidence of good faith and to be held my him (Denny) until the hour of 4 o’clock p. m., when it would be taken up and the sum of $5,0C0 in currency be given instead. And the affiant says that about 5 o'clock p. ni. of the same day the said Denny informed him that the exchange had been made, and the suin of $5,000 in currency had been placed by him in a safety deposit vault. HOLT TALKED TOO MUCH. The affiant further says that at a later hour of the same day he and L. A. Fulmer and George W. Seibert consulted together, and agreed and decided that they could not honorably accept the $5,000 upon the conditions heretofore named, because of the fact that after having secured from them a promise of silence the said Holt had procured the publication in the Indianapolis News of an interview', in which he denied having ever received the sum of $5,C00, or any other sum, from the FulmerSeibert Company, thereby leading the public to believe that the said Fulmer-Seibert Company and affiant had attempted to blackmail him. That this decision of the Fulmer-Seibert Company was imparted to their attorneys on the morning of Oct. 6, with instructions to say to Mr. Holt that if the money was not refunded absolutely without conditions it was to be handed to him by Mr. Denny and suit for its recovery by law brought at once. And that Mr. Denny did see the said Holt at the Grand Hotel at about 11:45 a. m. of that day and was then and there authorized by him to pay to the Fulmer-Sei-bert Company the five thousand dollars ($5,000) held in trust by the said Denny pending an agreement, and that the conditions under which the offer was first made w'ere withdrawal.

SO ACTION TAKEN. Hoard of Work* Not Yet Heady tib Say What It Will Do. No action was taken by the Board of Public Works yesterday with regard to accepting the White river interceptor. City Engineer Jeup had been directed at a secret conference the day before to make a report to the board at yesterday’s meeting, but it was nearly noon when he appeared. He asked for further time. The board directed Mr. Mcßride to appear with the contractors at a special meeting which is to be held this morning at 9 o’clock. The contractors believe that this is another effort to temporize. While they do not say so. they evidently believe that nothing will be done until “after the election,” that time to which Mayor Taggart ha 4 * deferred so many important subjects. One reason why the work has not been accepted was because the moment that was done notices of assessments would be sent out to about every property owner in the north part of town, and it was feared that it would work disaster to the mayor’s chance of re-elec-tion if the property owners found out the amount they would have to pay before the election. For this reason the contractors very much doubt whether anything will be done before next Tuesday that will let loose the assessment notices. The point has been made that the administration oared nothing about the Holt transaction, and in support of this it is pointed out that there has been no hurry to accept the work since disclosures w'ere first threatened. To hurry the acceptance of the sewer would not have cut off the Holt transaction, as it was quite generally discussed among Democratic contractors, and they would have understood that the work was accepted on that account and there was great danger of it having become generally known. If it had not been discovered until after the work w r as accepted the conclusion would at once be drawn that the oificials had accepted it to stop the mouths of Fulmer & Seibert and thd effect would have been disastrous. There was no way that the exposure could have been avoided. If it had been avoided by accepting the work, then there would have been great clamors raised when half the people in town received notice of their assessments. No matter which way the mayor looked, there was danger from the Holt transaction, and he realized that it must “land him in the sewer” sooner or later. On account of the assessments that will have to be made public when the work is accepted the contractors doubt whether anything will be done to-day. Mr. Jeup made a trip through the sewer from old Thirteenth street to Washington street yesterday afternoon. lie saM that he had found places in which no plastering had been done and other places where the sewer has cracked. “It is said that the Pogue’s run sewer was accepted without being plastered, Mr. Jeup. Is that true?” he was asked by a Journai reporter. , “Yes, it is true.” “Why was it that the contractors were not required to plaster it?” “Because it was an impossibility. Mr. Anderson (of the Board of Works) and other experts examined it. Deductions were made in the pay.” It is claimed that the Pogue's run sewer was only three feet in diameter and that it could not be plastered because it was too small to work in. Mr. Fulmer says that the White river interceptor is only three feet in a part of the stretch that Mr. Jeup is insisting shall be plastered. Besides there is water in it. It is as impossible to do the work here as Mr. Jeup says it was in the case of the Pogue’s run sewer. Mr. Jeup says that in some places the White river interceptor is six feet in diameter where the plastering has not been done. He also says that he found places where the contractor had plastered the bottom of the sewer, where the water flows, while the top is not plastered. Mr. Jeup and his assistant, Mr. Moore, made a memorandum of such defects as they discovered, which will be presented to the board this morning. L. A. Fulmer, of Fulmer & Seibert, says that there are many inaccuracies in what lias been said about the White river interceptor. He says that it is not true that the inspectors were lax and allowed inferior material to go into the work, before or after the money was paid to Holt. He explained the claim for extras that his firm has. No formal claim was ever made, but memoranda were submitted to the engineer, who ran through them with his pencil and struck out all but about 11.200 of the $13,000 asked, saying that he could not allow them. He nad previously deducted some $-400 from the original contract price on account of excavations they were not required to make on account of the grade bsing raised, bringing the total allowance tho engineer was

P.Wasson&Co. willing to make for extras down to about SBOO. Mr. Fulmer says that the firm abandoned all idea of getting the extras allow ed and urged that the work be accepted any way, as they were paying an enormous amount of interest on the money tied up in the work—about sl,ouo a month. They even offered to accede to a deduction on account of the plastering, which it was impossible for them to do. Such a concession was made in the Pogue’s run sewer when the contractor demonstrated that the plastering could not be done. After making every sort of proposition they could think of the contractors went to their attorneys and on their advice decided to renew the claim for extras in the suit they saw they would be compelled to bring to mandamus the city to accept the sewer.
POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES. Big: Law Suit Against the City May Grow Out of Sewer Scandal. There fs a possibility that very serious results may grow out of the interceptor scandal, according to a prominent attorney, who sees a possibility, at least, of a lawsuit involving a claim for $150,000 against the city, with the Union Trust Company for the plaintiff. The Journal called attention yesterday morning to the fact that Mr. Holt had possibly violated Section 7 of the charter, which makes it unlawrful for any city official to be interested, directly or indirectly, in any contract with the city. When the park bonds were sold to the Indiana Trust Company the Sentinel raised the point that the issue was illegal under Section 7, as Mr. Lieber, a member of the park board, was a stockholder in the trust company. The point was sustained. The bond sale fell through. Mr. Holt is a member of the Park Board. Mr. Jeup, city engineer, and M. A. Downing, president of the Board of Public Works, have both said that the Union Trust Company, of which Mr. Holt is said to be a stockholder, is interested in the sewer contract, and, In fact, is entitled to most of the money that will be paid by property holders. The attorney says the fact that the specifications are said to have been changed may invalidate the asesssments, if Mr. Holt’s interest as a stockholder of the trust company' in the work does not. In case any property holder were to raise a question as to the validity, of the assessments on the two grounds—first, that the specifications were changed after the work began, and, second, because of Mr. Holt’s unlawftil interest (as a city official) in the contract, the trust company would probably enter suit against the city because the officials had cognizance of Mr. Holt’s connection with the contract and because the specifications were changed with the consent of the city attorney and by the order of tho Board of Public Works in directing the city engineer to permit the modification. The suggestion is sufficiently serious to merit consideration. * KNEW IT A LONG TIME. Administration Has Known About the Deal for Months. Leandor A. Fulmer believes that the city officials knew of the Holt scandal six months ago, as he says Y. M. Backus told him he had informed Controller Johnson of it. Mr. Backus was at one time a subcontractor on the work. When he came back from Texas Mr. Fulmer was not working on the intei’ceptor, as he was tied up with other work, and Backus was employed, as the contractors wanted to hurry the work af much as possible. Backus was taken in with the understanding that he was to have a third of the profits without investing anything. When the point was reached that no further advance could be made on account of water and the engineer would not consent to raise the grade Seibert went to Fulmer one day and told him that Holt would have to be paid $5,000, as the work could not be continued unless the grade was raised. “My God! we can’t do that,” said Fulmer. “We’ve got to do it or make an assignment,” said Seibert. “There is no way out of it.” Mr. Fulmer suys that Mr. Robinson accordingly drew the check, charging the stub to salary for Seibert. The officers of the company received no salaries, t>ut the check was so charged, as the money had to bo accounted for. Backus was afterward informed of this transaction when the work was about to swamp the contractors and It appeared that there would be no profits to divide with him. Mayor Taggart said yesterday afternoon that he had never heard of the transaction until Mr. Fulmer told him that a suit wits about to be brought. Mr. Johnson says that Backus never told him anything about the Holt deal. Three or four weeks ago he hinted to Mr. Johnson that there was "something,” but was averse to telling it, Mr. Johnson says. Mr. Fulmer says that last Saturday, when he went to inform the mayor that they had decided to file a mandamus suit the mayor was very friendly, but did not have any suggestion to offer as to how the suit might be brought. “We are also going to enter suit for that $5,000, Torn, I said,” Mr. Fulmer told a reporter. “Are you?” asked the mayor. “What $5,0007” he added hastily. “What $5,000 are you talking about?” Seibert Says It I* Correet. Royal Robinson, who makes the affidavit, has been an active Democrat ever since he became of age. The affidavit made by' Mr. Robinson was submitted to Mr. Seibert before he returned to Bluffton and he declared that it was true and correct. | PERSONS I Whose stomachs rebel againsl T tea and coffee find r | POSTUM * | PLEASES PALATE | AND STOMACH
