than held hiB own and put Gardner down
squarely in the sixth round with 11 rlcht
Hush on the chin. Gardner also went to
the lloor In the llrst round , but It was not
a clean knockdown , Forbes was cent down
In the fifth with a left on the chin. The
righting was furious In the last round ,
with Forbes touvlnr the better of the ex
change , but Gardner's blows had the moat
steam behind them und Forbes was rather
tired at the close.

PIERRE , S , D. , Doc. 1. ( Special. ) The
total amount received on liquor licenses by
the state up to November 30 Is $51,300 , as
against $31,000 for the whole of last year.
Whllo there will bo a little more received
on this fund this year. It will not get up to
the amount of last year. This can bo ac
counted for by the fact that a number of
firms erected storage warehouses when the
now law went into effect and paid a license
on those as wholesale houses and are sup
plying from depots on state lines , which re
lieves them much of the state license.

classified list. For cmo reason or another
these commodities , which belong to what

"Within thu last few months there has
been an advance In all of the articled which
enter Into railroad equipment and mainte
nance. Labor Is higher. In all of the In
creased business duo to the prosperous times
the rallroado have derived no other ad
vantage than an Increasu In the volume of
business. There has been no Increase In
rates to meet the Increase In expenses.
"I am thoroughly convinced that this era
of prosperity will continue , that the rail
roads thai Is , Investors In railroad
property will , under the arrangement wo
propose , uecuro their share of the pros

PHILADELPHIA , Dec. 1. Inquiries at the
ofllco of A. J. CasHatt , president of the
Pennsylvania railroad , elicited n statement
denying the report that the Baltimore & Ohio
had been absorbed by the Pennsylvania rail
road , In these words :
"Thero Is no truth In the reports which
Imvo found their origin In the rumor that
J. P. Morgan , William K. Vanderbllt and A.
J. Car > att have combined to take the control
of the eastern rallioad situation Into their
own hands. The declaration that the I'cnn-
nylvanla railroad has absorbed the Baltimore
& Ohio IH . < absurd aa would be a declara
tion that the Now York Central had ul-soibed
OKI Pennsylvania. The facts ao they exist
are to bo found In the denial of the rumor
rnadd yesterday b ) John K. Cowan , presi
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio. "
ST. PAUL , Dec. 1. President Hill of the
Oreat Northern , known to bo a heavy holder
of Baltimore & Ohio slock , places little cru-
dcnco in the reports that the Pennsylvania

"During the past few months there have
been many transfers of individual holdings of
stock , for the moat part Involving no large
blocks. The reports which have been current -
rent regarding u transfer of any consld
crable amount of stock have lltllo to ri1"-
omtnend them ng true. "
