NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—The year 1899 has been a bad one for pugilists. Seven men have met their deaths in the ring. That geome rules should be made to end the kill- ings in the ring .is acknowledged by all. What these rules should be the Post-Dis- patch has asked the best living authority on prize fighting, John L, Sullivan. His answer follows: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Accidents 3 - en in the prize ring just as they do in the street, but not so often, by a long way. A man waiking carefully cross the street may be killed by elec- ity from a stray broken wire. A fight between two careful, clever men may re- sult in a chance blow or fall that kills one of th There are men -foolish enough enter the ring when not in condition to ht, and almost always these are the eort that are killed. If these rules were followed perhaps ¢here would be fewer deaths in the ring: First—The referee should stop the fight when it's easy to see that one of the men ls unable to defend himself any more. The referee should order the strong man to his corner, and see that he goes there. If this been done in 8t. uls that fellow would not have been killed - Seconc—Examinations o the fighters shoul! made a week or more before the ht 8 a good yan, and again on e night of the fight. Third—Seconds or club doctors should not be allowed to give “dope” to a man when he is almost out. Whisky or brandy is all right, but strychnine and such drugs make the knockout a lot worse when it comes. I saw a boy recently lie on the mat in- nsible haif an hour after a punch. They : given him an injection a round before he was put out. Fourth—The ring should be padded. There ehould be no posts, as there are now in few rings.

There will be an eclipse of the moon thie (Saturday) evening, which the astronomers describe as partial, but which will appear to the naked eye— if the weather should happen to be clear—as total.

We find that the deceased came to his death on the 14th day of Decem- ber, 1899, at about 10 o’clock p. m. at the Fourteenth Street theater from congestion of the brain due to concus- sion. Said injury was due to a fall, striking his head on the floor from a blow received at the hands of Fred Bellerson at about 9:45 o’clock Decem- ber 14th, 1899, at the Fourteenth Street theater, while engaged in a con- test with gloves (8 ounces), under the auspices of the St. Louis Athletic Club and that his death was without felon- ious intent. Verdict—homicide. RESULT OF VERDICT. After the verdict was rendered all who were arrested at the fight were rearrested and taken back to Four Courts to awit action by the Prosecu- ting Attorney. Their names are: Fred Bellerson, Neise’s antagonist, of Wal- nut Park; Joseph Cappels, timekeeper, 4050 Page avenue; Louis N. Norteman, second, 2718 Dayton street; William Clark, alias “Belfast Chicken,’’ pro- prietor of the St. Louis Nataiorium, Nineteeth and Pine streets; Price Law- son, colored, second, 1519 Chestnut street; William Zachritz, second, 2818 Cherokee street; Charles Fitzgerald, second, Sixth and Elm streets; Charles W...- Whitney, ‘5r,---manager,” 1405 Washington avenue; Tim Hurst, ref- eree, Lindell Hotel. It was a strange crowd, was that which assembled in the Coroner's office Saturday morning, assembled as principals, witnesses and spectators at the inquest on the body of Henry W. Neise, who was killed in a ‘“‘boxing contest’’ at the Fourteenth Street Theater Thursday night. Fred Bellerson, who struck the fatal blow, the referee, seconds, timekeepers and other officials were seated in a row facing the jury. The Coroner, his etenographer and Bellerson’s attorneys sat at a table between the pris- oners and the jury. Bellerson was at one end of the row, nearest the witness chair. His appearance was typical of his calling.

Hasty Wedding Terminated in the Di- vorce Court, Which Has Just Aboslved Mr. Cohn From His Bonds. Charles Cohn of Louisville, Ky., was di- vorced Saturday from Delphine Love Cohn, daughter of Dr. I. N. Love of this city. The decree was granted by the Ken- ‘'tucky Circuit Court, in ‘session in Louis- ville. The cause of action was given by Mr. Cohn as abandonment. , This ends a union that was never in fact a union and separates a couple whose) marriage was.the result. of momentary im, pulse. The ceremony occusred in Jefferson- ville, Ind., Sept. 24, 1898. Cohn is a well-known young man about Louisville, his father being editor of an influential German newspaper. Miss Love had been visiting the family of Col. J. Moses Terry at Louisville and there had met Conn. The elopemefit was planned over the tel- ephone. Cohn had been a most devoted ad- mirer of Miss Love during the summer passed in Louisville. The afternoon of Sat- urday, Sept. 24, 1898, he called her up over the telephone: “Do you want to get married?” he asked, after the usual greetit gs. “Are you game?’ she flashed back at im. Cohn said he was, and an engagement was made to go to Jeffersonville that aft- ernoon. Within two hours they had been made man and wife by Magistrate House. They intended to keep the affair secret until after the Veiled Prophet’s ball, at which Miss Love was to have been a maid , CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO.

LONDON, Dec. 16.—A hastily sum- moned meeting of the Cabinet was held at the Foreign Office this afternoon for the purpose of dealing with the war crisis. | LONDON, Dec. 16.—Gen. Sir Red- vers-Buller himself now acknowledges a defeat by the Boers in his effort to force a passage at the Tugela. His loss of men is not stated, but in retiring he left be- hind 11 guns, 10 of which will be service- able to the Boers, Sunday Gen. Gatacre met defeat on the south. Monday Gen. Lord Metheun met de- feat on the west. Friday Gen. Buller, the Commander-in- Chief, “ritet défeat on the éast. Gen. Sir George White is still be- leaguered and in a bad way with wounded men, fever and scanty supplies in Lady- smith, Col. Kekewich and Cecil Rhodes, be- sieged in Kimberley, may have to be left to their fate. . So much for a week of disaster to Brit- ish arms in South Africa, London is aghast, dazed, and grim at the crushing news. The loss of Cape Colony and all South Africa may well be feared, Gen. Buller reports a “serious reverse.” His advance to Ladysmith is paralyzed. Gen. Hart's brigade was driven back with heavy loss from one ford of the Tugela River. Gen. Hildyard’s brigade got to Colenso. Two hatteries and six naval guns got into action only to find themselves targets for a galling fire at close range of the Boer riflemen. Nearly all the horses were killed. With great gallantry the men stgiggled to save their guns, but only two could be brought off. Ten guns were abandoned and another was wrecked by a Boer shell. Hildyard’s brigade had to retire, but in good order. Lord Dundonald’s mounted troops, with Barton’s brigade, were kept busy re- pelling a vigorous Boer attack on the right flank. The day was intensely hot and trying. Gen. Buller reports heavy losses, but has sent no figures. He has retired to his camp at Chieveley. Meanwhile the Boers bombard Lady- smith furiously. London got the news at midnight, and anxious men and women crowded the War Office. The military critics declare the reverse most serious and the situation an anxious one. Fifteen transports are due to arrive at Cape Town between Dec. 17 and Jan. 8 with 15,000 troops of all arms, but un- less Gen. Buller is able to renew the at- British Generals will be compelled for another fortnight or more to remain practically on the defensive.

BULLER’'S WHOLE LINE BEATEN General Admits That He Moved “In Full Strength” and Suffered Seri- ous Reverse at All Points. LONDON, Dee. 16.—No news has been received from Gen. Buller this morning, and it is still impossible to even estimate the probable loss of the British In the ef- fort yesterday to cross the Tugela River. Gen. Buller’sa report, however, shows clearly that the movement was of a gen- eral character, that practically his whole army was employed, that his troops were repulsed at every point, that his losses— as the report admits—“were heavy," and that instead of being able to flan the Boers, as has all along been supposed to be his Intention, the Boers nearly drove in his own flank.

I moved in full strength from our camp near Chieveley at 4 o’dlock this morning. “There are two fordable places in the which he did, and his leading regiment, the East Surrey, occupied Colenso Station and the house near the bridge. “At that moment I heard that the whole artillery I had sent to support the attack— he Fourteenth and Sixty-fitth field batteries and six naval 12-pound quick-firers, under Col. Long—had advanced close to the river in Long’s desire to be within effective range. It proved to be full of the enemy, who sud- denly opened a galling fire at close range, killing all their horses, and the gunners were compelled to stand to their guns, Some of the wagon teams got shelter for troops in a donga, and desperate efforts were being made to bring out the fleld guns. ‘The fire, however, was too severe, and only two were saved by Capt. Schofield and some drivers, whose names I will furnish. “Another most gallant attempt with three teams was made by an officer, whose name I will obtain. Of the 18 horses 13 were killed, and as several drivers were wounded 1 would not allow another at- tempt, as it seemed that they would be a shell mark, sacrificing life to a galiant attempt to force the passage. Unsupport- ed by artillery I directed the troops to withdraw, which they did in good order. “Throughout the day a considerable force of the enemy was.pressing on my right flank, but was kept back by mounted men under Lord Dundonald and part of Gen. Barton's brigade. “The day was intensely hot and most trying on the troops, whose conduct was excellent. We have abandoned ten guns and lost by shell fire one. ‘The lorses in Gen. Hart's brigade, I fear, are heavy, although the proportion of severely wounded, I hope, is not large.

' Gen, Buller’s defeat is the greatest disaster suffered by the British Empire since the Indian mutiny. The consequences are not exhausted by a loss of prestige in South Africa, nor even by the loss of the South African cdlonies. England’s extremity is Russia's opportunity, and even now the Czar’s troops are probably waiting for the word to advance. from India leaves that country exposed to the machinations of the Czar’s agents, who wil! not fail to sow seeds of dis- content among the natives and prepare the way for a Rus- sian army. » In England it is said that the War Office now realizes that the struggle is not an expedition, but a great wer. What the end may be no man can foresee. Whether it is the be- ginning of the end of British ascendency or is merely a temporary check, to be followed by victory, it is impossi- ble to say. But that the English themselves believe the situation full of peril is manifest. The calling out of all military and naval reserves is significant. = - | ~~ = Lieut. Stacke of the returned First Tennessee Volunteers says of the deaths in the Philippines: ‘‘Many a soldier dies out there, and the people over here never hear anything of the matter. They don’t like to make the death list heavy.” From the first the Administration has practiced deception in its Philippine reports. No immorality is immoral] if it will help Mr. McKinley to a second term. >> i a A The insatiabie greed of the tariff-built tinplate trust has put prices so very high that the excess is likely to produce competition. The exorbitant prices fixed by this trust are very good evidence of the extremes the trusts may reach whenever they feel that they can safely practice additional extortion. a oe 2 Gen. Buller’s defeat emphasizes the terrible blunder into which Great Britain was led by the South African adven- turers. Fighting along the line of a blunder is never profit- able. England’s best way out of South Africa is to admit her wrong and confuse her enemies elsewhere. > , i ae If there is now nothing in the way.of Mr. McKinley’s unani- mous renomination, why shculd the Southern representation in the Nationul Convention be cut down? If there is to be proper unanimity, there will be no occasion to buy Southern delegates. > —ir An announcement of the removal of our war taxation would be much more acceptable than is news of any new system of canceling war stamps. If Great Britain will drop the unjust war with the Boers she will have the sympathy of Americans in her tussle with Continental Europe. ———————— Is Secretary Root a man of caliber so small that he should be so readily taken up as a man suited ta the Vice-Presi- dential nomination? i i POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. On Jan. 1 Uncle Samuel should swear off from buying in- cumbered real estate from foreign sharps. ' The big Highlander is a good mark for the Dutch sharp- shooter. No amount of courage and strength can stop a bullet. Young Hay will not allow the grass to grow under his feet on his way to 'Pretoria provided he meets with no Dutch obstructions. If the American conscience can be stirred by the polygamy of a citizen of Utah, why can it not be moved by the polyg- amy of our new fellow-citizen, the Sultan of Sulu? Tite Boers have killed the Premier Marquis of the United Kingdom and they would get Wales himself if Albert Ed- ward were so careless as to get within rifle shot of them. An automobile may run away. It may collide with any- thing, or it may chase itself madly in circles. It can be more terrible than a Texas steer, once it becomes un- manageable. Possibly law may step in and demand that no man shall drive an auto until he shall have had a thorough training. The members of the People’s Church in Kalamazoo, Mich., dance and make merry, paying no heed to the ideas of other churches regarding terpsichorean pleasures. If the mem. bers of the People’s Church shall become looser in their account of this, the fact will doubtless become known. Trees are known by their fruits. The suffrage women will not be influenced by Mrs. Cor- bin’s anti-suffrage assertion that when women shall have political equality they will have no babies. No amount of woman suffrage will abolish babies. They will continue to arrive long after all suffrage questions shall have been set- tled, and possibly in greater numbers than Can be well pro- vided for. = = — a ae ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. M. L.

It is thought that when Messrs.

WEST ENDS AND SHAMROCKS. Those Crack Teams Meet at Athletic Park on Sunday. The principal for Sunday in the Associa- tion Football League is that to be played at Athletic Park between the West Ends who have been greatly strengthened by the addition of Strup at full back and Casey and Bag- gott in the forward line. ae ig was the star forward of the C. B. C. team. The est Ends will have their full team out. apt. Strump will play at full back, Guinan half back and the regular forward line, oS w , Corcoran, Reed, Kavanagh and Kane, will be on deck.

Many of Them Will Take Part in the California Tournament. The letter published.in Friday's Post- Dispatch stating that all amateur boxers wanting to take part in the California tour- nament would have their fares paid out there and back is already bearing fruit, and several of the crack St. Louis ama- teurs have already announced their inten- tion of making the trip. Eddie Connolly and fought before the a be in New York on Friday night and at the conclusion ef the allotted 2% rounds Con- nolly was given the decision. Kid MecPartland Athletic Club Kid McCoy and Peter Maher are going to have their boning match before the Coney Island Athletic Club on the after- moon of New Year’s Day and commencing at 3 o’clock. “T did expect to do some boxing this win- ter,’’ says Tom Sharkey, ‘“‘but I’ve changed my mind, and will probably kay off and take a trip over the big drink to see the folks. I’ve met McCoy, Corbett and Jef- ies, and when you come to figure it up t is crowding them in pretty fast." Efforts are being made by friends of both to patch up the recent trouble betweerm Bob Fitzsimmons and his erstwhile man- ager, Martin Julian. After their trouble two weeks ago Fitzsimmons announced that he was through with Julian for good. Julian, however, tnsists that the whole thing was a misunderstanding. Julian knows there is still a good fight in the Australian. and he does not intend to let Bob go at this stage of the game if he can avoid it. Local lovers of boxing have been looking forward for a long while with pieasure to the twenty-five-round contest which Clar- ence Forbes of Chicago and Steve Flanagan of Philadelphia are to have in the Coliseum next Monday night. Ever since they saw Forbes box before the West Had Club a few months ago St. Louis followers of the puesto game have come to leok on young orbes as the most interesting boxer they have ever set eyes on. In all their travelis they have never seen a quicker or livelier man on his feet than this youngster, or one 80 quick to take advantage of every op- portunity that presents itself while a battle is in progress. Still they have hever seen Fo face a cleverer or faster man than Flanagan and thet is what adds interest to Monday night's battle. Forbes and Flanagan always enter a con- test in thorough condition. The former has been in trainirg at Crtcago for several weeks for his battle here and is being coached by Harry Gilmore, perhaps the cleverest second and trainer now in the est. On the other hand, Flanagan has been hard at work in St. Louis, having the ben- efit of twoxsuch voteran trainers and sec- ends as Young Mahoney and Bob Delaney of Philadel hia. This batth being for the bantamweight egy + denen of the world will be refereed b fier, who has refereed al] the and little championship contests that have taker place recently. o s a is seconds will not arrive In St. Louis until Sunday morning and Sulcr will not get here until Mcnday morning. Oliver Simon, who says he weighs 150 pounds, wants to meet Bob Douglas.

The only new fact that the trade has assistance in forming conclusions about the future is the resump- tion by the American Sugar pony Co. and other refineries of sales for delivery next year on 6 day guarantees, but only to manufacturers. It can be seen from the movements in Sugar that the organization of the Colonial Sugar Co. has not helped the bear cause as much as had been expected.
