Attho Art Athletic Club, Philadelphia, on Saturday night, Charley Johnson and "Scaldy" Bill Qulnn, the two pugilists who fought a twenty-five round bout hare on January 29 last, met again. "Scaldy" started in to annihilate John son from the tap of the bell, and landed a score of vicious lefts oil the wind and rights on the faeo and jaw, twice send ing Johnson to tho floor. The latter was handicapped in reach and weight and failed to make much of a showing in the opening round. He did better in second, and in tho third landed several hard punches as well as avoiding many of the colored boxer's heavy swings. Although "Scaldy" had the advan tage in every respect and appeared capable of besting Johnson, he did not evince tho same desire to force tin* milling as his white antagonist and refused to emulate his example of making it a stand up give and take affair. In the fourth Johnson went right at "Bill," and got homo several hard right handers on tho jaw, but these didn't seem to phase the colored man, who paid his white brother with inter est.

Judge Edwards Han Decided the WilkeH burre Hunker Cannot He Tried on Sepa rate Charges —D.'pohitorn Are Angry and Will Take the C'une Higher. Tho court room at Wilkesbarro was crowded on Friday morning to hear tho decision in tho Rockafellow case on tho contention of the defense that having been tried and convicted of one of the many charges of embezzlement against him tho ex-banker could not bo tried on tho other cases. Judge Edwards read his finding in the case. The opinion was brief and as follows: "I am of the opinion that the ploa of the defen dont should bo sustained. Tho demur rer in this case is overruled and judg ment entered for defendent, that he go without day. Exception is noted for the commonwealth." Tho word day as appears above means that the defendant go without any day set for trial. Judge Edwards said lie would file a more extended opinion In a few days, when the prosecution would have an opportunity to carry their case to the superior court. When tho decision was given Mrs. Anna Meier, the prosecutrix, walked into the bar In closure and walking back and forth in front of tho judge, expres sed her opinion of tho court, not in loud tonos of voice, but distinctly enough for tho bystandurs to hear. She is one of tho plaintiffs in the caso. She said she did not think justice had been done and would take her case to a higher court. Her case is a sad one. She was not a regular depositor, but had S7OO with which to pay a mortgage and culled at Rockafellow's bank after banking hours with her attorney the evening before tho bank closed. She left the money at the bank for safety until morning, but tho bank never opened its doors again. Rockafellow was not in the court room and was notified of tho judge's decision by Attorney Wheaton in the hitter's office. The aged banker did not express any gratilication or feeling and has ap parently suffered so much as to bo de void of any emotion. He listened to his attorney and at the latter's suggestion wont homo to notify his family. Some of the depositors, especially those having suits pending, severely criticise tho law and believe that justice had not been meted out to the man whom they charge with stealing their savings. The names of the other prosecutors and amounts claimed, are: Annie Kno kosky, $1,600; Hugh Melley, $750; W. .1. Marvel, $2,150; W. M. Alexander, $553; G. W. Lehman, $1,000; I'. C. Eagan, $1,480 George Foorch, Jr.. $990; Edward Hurley, $1,485; Max Levi, $140; Lewis Brown, $1,050; Sol. Ilirsch, $533; E. J. Alexander, $25,000; commonwealth, by ex-District Attorney John M. Garman, $1,700; Louis Tisch, $1,300; Hiram Rhoads, SSB. HHH of Kailroud News. From the Wcathorly Herald. The repair work of tho 1). S. A- S. will hereafter be done at Lehigh Valley shops. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company Is having six engines built at Philadel phia which will burn soft coal only.
