IJay St. Louis, Dec. Ii Yonr corre spondent called at the training quarters of the tall Australian to-day. When questioned regarding his training, Fitzsimmons referred j oar correspondent to his trainer and mana ger. Jimmy Carroll, who said: "It will no doubt lie a big surprise to many of those fa miliar with the different methods of training pugilists for ring contests when I say that I have not. nor shall I up to the time Fitzsini minis" fights, go by any set methods or rules laid dow n as the proper form for trainingith letes. "Fitzsimmons is by nature a hard-working, industrious man. anil is never so well satished as w hen emnloj ed at some sort of work. I shall take advantage of this -plendid trait and tiy to make hi- training a pleasure rather than tlichaid work it usually proves to be to the fighter in general. I shall end him out on long waits, ot course, nut these walks will be al was in the direction of pleasure, such as bunt ing, fishing and rowing. Ashe is a first-class liorseshoer, lie will occasionally show Ins skill in that direction by doing up a couple of mules or horses in fact. au sort of animals that need shoes that slio up for lam to exercise upon Of course there will bo Tiall punching and sparring. The former will bo done when Fitzsimmons feels inclined to exercise a bit, which will be pictty often, and the latter will take place whenever any of the inhabitants of the Bay who apirc to pugilistic honors or who would like a little free practice in the art of self-defense show uo at the quarters to have a 'little spar.' as they term it. My methods in training men dilfer greatly rroni those of most people, and, in my opinion, to be a good trainer a man must lie a good reader of human nature and give a man the work winch will bo the least hardship for him and give him the most pleasure. For what will suit one man would be hard work for another, and one must have his man carefully sized up liefore he prescribes a course of train ing for him." A FOUL IS DISALLOWED.

It moved rapidly east ward and was centered yesterday off the coast of Massachusetts, accom panied hy northwesterly gales on the Atlantic coast, from Portland to Hatteras. Tho gales extended inland to the lakes. The cold wave in the Northwest moved with remarkable rapidity, until in all the States east of the Mississippi river the temperature fell 20 or more. Tho fall was most decided in the lake region, New York and New England. These sudden changes were caused by a high barometer area of great mag nitude, which moved in from the extreme Northwest and was central at Omaha.

Tbe striking Baltimore and Ohio switch men have aboutrabandoned all hope of suc cess and are now looking for work in other yards. None of their officials have arrived in the city and the men have about aban doned the hope of help from that quarter. Yesterday full crews were at work in 'the Glenwood yards and all the freight was handled without difficulty. The railroad officials consider the strike at an end and believe that nothing will occur from now on to bother them. The Superin tendent says he thinks the road will excer-i ence uo further embarrassment on account of the switchmen's desertion. Industrial Notes. Jones & Laughlins' No. 2 mill was closed down yesterday for repairs, which will not bo completed before tho first of next week, when work will be resumed. The Linden Iron and Steel Company will re turn to coal, because tho supply of gas is in sufficient to run the plant without interruption. A coal elevator is being constructed on the river bank.
