FORDWYER
HE DEFEATED LEO PABDEM.0
OF NEW YORK LAST NIGHT.
Match Was Wrestled In Mixed Catch-as-Catch-Cnn
and Oraceo Roman
and Dwyer Won Two Bouts in the
Former Style Pnrdello Says Ho
Wants Another Match and Will
Olve His Shnre of Proceeds for
Sweet Charity Largo Number of
Spectctois Thronrrcd Bicycle Club.
M. J. Dwyer again demonstrated his
ability as ti catch-ns-cttch-can wt os
tler last night, at the tllcycle club
rooms, when In the presence of a large
number of spectators he scored two
falls on Leo Pnrdello, one of which
was made In tho lightning time of four
minutes and fifteen seconds. Tho match
was mixed, nnd In tho Grneco-ltomnn
bout Pardello won out In twenty-four
minutes and fifty seconds.
As tho defeated wrestler picked him
self up, nfter Ills lost fall, he excited
ly challenged Dwyer to another match
and in his excitement lapsing Into a
mixed Latin-English tongue, declared
his desire to moot tho victor before tho
club again. Ho merely wishes to win
back his laurels and says that ho will
donate his shore of the gate receipts
to some charitable institution.
Dwyer at first angrily protested that
ho had won out fairly nnd squarely
nnd was not particularly desirous to
enjoy another evening with his, swar
thy antagonist, anyway. I-aterlho put
himself Into the hands of the club, nnd
salel that If Pardello Inslsteel, ho bad
no choice other than to take him on.
Tho match was called promptly at 9
o'clock, when the president of tho club,
11. F. Connolly, announced the condi
tions of the match and Introduced the
participants and officials. The style of
tho first bout was decided by tossing,
and was catch-as-cateh-e'an. The
strangle hold was barred and only pin
falls counted. Hugh Keenan was tef
erce and Sheriff C. II. Schadt time
keeper. As Pardello and Dwyer cn
tetod hearty applause greeted them.
CONDITION OP THIS MEN.
Dwyer weighed 160 pounds and was
In his usual splendid condition. Par
dello was twenty pounds heavier. UN
physical condition was not, however,
ns good us Dwyer's, as ho seemed fat
and rather flabby. Ho Is, however, deep
of chest, broad of shoulder and pos
sessed of a pair of arms which remind
one of the provetblal brawny black
rmith. His strength is enormous, but
Dwyer's activity and speed were so
far superior to the Italian's that the
disparity In power was easily made up
for In tho eiUch-as-cateh-can bouts.
Tho culturlst proved himself easily
the better man at this stylo of the
game, but in tho Gracco-Ttoman Par
dello hud Dwyer going from the Hist
and every now and anon would grimly
seize the culturlst In a bear-like hug
that looked like sure falls, and out or
which tho latter cleverly wriggled.
More than once the Italian put the
nerves of the spectators In the front
seats on odvjo by desperately shoving
Dwyer off tho mat Into tho ring ef
eager lookers-on, and when at last
ho put the "professoi" cleanly on his
back, ho received nn ovation which
must have made him feel that he was
amongst warm-hearted strangers In
deed. In tho first bout Pardello showol
himself possessed of tremendous
strength, but also manifested the fact
that he wasn't exactly. In tho pink of
condition nnd was unable lo do any
very .erlous aggressive work. Ilo
broke several dangerous looking half
nelsons nnd managed to evade sovetal
other of Dwyer's pe-t grips, but at
last came tho deadly neck hold, which
had done for Leonard, Henlck nna
other of the wrestlers who have been
in the city of late, and when the Ital
ian was caught In this, the majority
of tho spectators leaned back in their
chairs and mm mured, "Just wait for
tho iu-xt round, though."
PARDELLO DIED HARD.
Pardello died hard, however. For
about a minute. Dwyer had the Ital
ian's brown, muscular left phouldi r
pinned tei tho mat anil was ilevotlni;
his lull energy to brlntr down t':e
swarthy right also, but by exerting u
tiemendous trserve strength. I'oi
elello resisted until nt last, lir-h V
Inch, it went down, the two slimline: s
touched tho mat, and Dwyer had th.
llrst fall.
Alter a lif teen minutes' intei mlsM.m
tho two men enteicd and began ih.'lr
bout In tho Graoco-llontan stjle. He. -tho
visiting wrestler appeared tin. -oughly
nt home, nnd his rugged fe.it
utes assumed a very sfiious expres
sion as ho clasped Dwyer In a cIosj
embrace and begin business. Dwy.ir
wasn't neatly aa comfortable ot he
had been In tho pree ding bout nnd
us- a ti'ap'jo-Roman wrestler he bad
more elefenslve- wotk to de tli.m In all
his local oaUh-tis-oatPh-e.in I. utts to
gether. He dlbpluyed eotlderablo
cleverness, hows ve-r, and breike several
powerful nee a holds in a manner
which convinced his big opponent that
he was no novice at th- game.
Towards tho cntl of this bout, Pat
dello secured a magnificent full nel
son. His big arms clo.icd nrouiig
Dwyei's neck In n l-'ck . hlch looked
as hunt to Ineuk ns steel, hut, never
theless, Dwyer broke It and won .1
Ail-round Aid.
Tho subject of lnter?st Is a
unique study, it lias been the
midnight theme of many a trav
eler o'er rough rends leading lo
tho happy city of Success. It hus

doubting thousands In distress.
Its muglo power rules business
Is tho pIol of u world's com

cheerful round of npplause In so doing,
fhortly afterward, however, tho Ital
ian caught Dwyer's arm In a vlce-llko
grip nnd, hugging him i-lo, filmic 1
him to the mat. Tho 'jultttiMt tousled
ilosperntcly, but bis ant.tgoiilst'fi big
body weighed him down, and after
several second Rpfer;e Keemin pro
nounced him down, p.ml Dwyer had
met his first fall In Bentuton.
THM THIRD FALL.
Twenty-four mlnutrs nni ilftv sec
onds was the time of this fall and
Dwyer's being tin shot lor, the Inltcr
was accorded the prlvlbita (f choos
ing tho stylo of the last bout. Ho
naturally took ratoh-tifl-catch-can.
and after tho rccest tho two men en
tered ngnln, ParJello omplatnlng of
a swollen, bruised iljht leg,
Dwyer tushed tho work In this bout
nnd ftom llrst to !ast l.il his man go
ing. In four minutes in.l liftmen sec
onds ho secured a combination arm
and leg lock, there was a llghtn'n?
fall nnd the scalp of Pardello was side
by side with those of Gehle, Leonard
and Derrick ns ornaments tei Dwyer's
belt of local victories.
Tho match wa3 followed by Tar
dctlo's demand for another match. Ho
said that he wasn't In condition to
wrrstlo catch-as-catch-can, for nt
l?ast a week, but would then bo ready.
Another contest is likely to bo held.
HORSES ON A GALLOP
WITH REIN BROKEN
Tkrlllinrr Experience of Two of tho
Crystal Hoso Company's Perma
nent Men Collided with Pole.
1'eiinunent Men Robert Wlllard nnd
Hairy Rice, of tho Crystal Hoso com
pany, hail nn exciting experience nnd
remarkable escape from Injury yester
day Just at noon, while responding to
nn alarm lrom box 24 at city hall.
One of the reins on the off horse be
came detached as the team was gal
loping up Linden street and us n con
seeiuenee when Willnrd, who was driv
ing, attempted to make the turn Into
Washington avenue, the oft horse could
not be guided and essayed to continue
straight up tho street, while the nigh
hoi so sought to turn up Washington
avenue.
The result was that the team shot
diagonally across Washington avenue
and collided with tho Iron pole support
ing tho tiolley cable. Tho horse near
er the pole went down and was jammed
up against the polo by tho wagon.
The tongue and whittle tree of the
wagon were broken and the harness
was all broken anel tangled. The wag
on, however, kept Its position, and the
llremeii, by exerting their utmost
strength In bracing themselves and
clinging to tho railings, succeeded In
saving themselves from being thrown
on'. Diver Willnrd kept the reins and
upon recovering from the shock of tho
collision succeeded In checking the
standing horse until passersby came up
to give a hand.
The thrown horse was gotten up nf
ter much elllllculty. it was found to
have surtained bad cuts on tho right
hind leg. but It is thought It escaped
permanent disability.
Much excitement was caused by the
ueeldi nt. The streets In the immediate
vicinity of the scene are usually
crowded with pedestrians at this par
ticular hour and the crowd was greatly
swollen on this occasion by the -hundreds
who were hurrying to the alarm
box n block above.
The lire was at the residence of Rev.
Charles C!. Spleker, In the rear of tho
Holy Trinity Lutheran church, Adams
avenue and Mulberry street, of which
Mr. Spleker Is pastor. Th blaze was
a slight one on tho roof near the chim
ney and was easily extinguished.

HE LIKES THE
MOST OF IT
J. A. LANSING TALKS ABOUT
THE "RIPPER" BILL.
Soys Ho Favors the Dominant Idea,
tho Centralization of Powor, but
Believes Amendments Should Be
Mnde Says City Solicitor Should
Bo Elected by the People The
"Ripper" Clause Is Necessary but
Appointed Mayor Should Servo
Only Until Next Election.
President J. A. LuiiHlng, of the board
of trade, ex-select councilman from the
Seventeenth wnrd and an able student
of municipal affairs, when asked for
an expression of opinion on tho "rip
per ' bill, yesterday, said:
"I think that tho new charter, as It
nt present stands, should be amende.!.
There nro certain features In It which
I am opposed to, but I must say that I
consider the central idea, namely, the
centralization of authority and with
ntlthorlty, responsibility, to bo a splen
did one.
"t have always contended that what
somcono has called the sub-dlvlston of
authority Is not a good principle when
applied to tho government of cities. I
believe that power should be central
ized, as far as possible, in tho chief
executive of the city, who can thus be
held directly accountable for any mis
management In any of the departments
under his control. The most effective
government Is the most etllclent one,
and I believe that we can have on clll
clent government In this city If the
mayor Is given the power to appoint
tho heads of the departments of pub
lic safety, of public wotks and of pub
lic charities.
"I don't believe that tho mayor
should be given the power to appoint
tho city solicitor. I believe that that
ofllclal should be electeil directly by the
people, and that ho should bo able to
feel himself free from any debt or ob
ligation when he assumes office.
LINE SHOULD RE DRAWN.
"The Hue should be (Irmly drawn be
tween tho legislative and the execu
tive departments of n municipality.
Tho councils should not be permitted
to huvo any executive powers, nor
should they have the control, cither
directly or Indirectly, of ony executive
elcpartinent. Their powers should bo
strictly legislative powers, and there
should be a limit ilxed beyond which
they could not go.
"That section of the new bill, which
provides for tho election of a select
council nt large. I most heartily en
dorse, though I nni of the opinion that
It should be amended slightly, so as to
Insuro a cettaln minority representa
tion. I would favor the idea of elect
ing pay one-citarter of the members
every year. In that way, 1 think, mat
ters would soon adjust themselves so
as to prevent tho council from being
composed entirely of members of one
particular belief.
"The trouble with the system of
ward representation Is that tho coun
cilman generally looks after the Inter
ests of his own particular bailiwick
llrst and the Interests of the city tit
large second. That Is the wrong way.
Tho Interests of the- oltyat largo should
be conserved llrst nnd the Interests of
an especial section second.
OBJECTION RAISED.
"Objection has been raised to the
'Upper' clause, but according to my
view, such a clause Is necessary to
start the new government on Its way.
I don't believe th.it tho mayor ap
pointed by the governor Hhould servo
for two years. He should servo only
until the next regular municipal elec
tion. The citizens of the city bhould
then bo given the opportunltyto chooso
their own mayor.
"Common e'ourtesy should Impel the
governor in appointing tho mayors to
re-appoint thoe who will be legislated
out of otllce In caso the new churter
becomes a law. These mayors were
elected by the people for a certain
term and they should be permitted to
servo that term. The governor wilt, In
my opinion, be. bound by something
more, perhaps, than cemunon decency
to recognize the rights of the people In
this respect.
"I don't approve of tho feature which
prohibits a mayor from holding any
public ofllco for two years after his
term. That's a little too harsh. There
might be some reason In making him
Ineligible for re-election, but there Is
no good reason for depriving him of
certain of his rights of citizenship."

in most other stores. Not only more, but something "dif
ferent" novelties that appeal to you, because of their
novelty.
Schimpff, the Jeweler,
Has everything going in the jewelry line. Think ol what
you want; it's there. Prices, too, are less than you think,
when you consider that no matter what you buy, quality is
