1 Some of the rising youth have taken the manly-art-o-8etf-defence fever, and: trader the kindly intuition of the good-natured hammerer, Tom Kelly, are making rpid strides toward becoming future bruisers. On certain evenings in the week Tent takes the boys through a course, ot training in a room on Sixth street, and though the members ot the class are particularly sensitive in the matter of being viewedr ja -their ffrtic performances by a critical public, a Dispatch reporter haa. been allowed, through a crack in the partition, to witness the of -the bors in their agile manemvres in the ring. Lt evening was practice night for the first class" in stuffed mittens. SU J.
was the first one called out on the floor, and after dancing around for ten minutes, daring which he gave the empty air several severe raps, he got himself into a position preparatory to giving Kelly a "Dutch winder," which tersely means a heavy downward stroke, when Kelly, who wanted to live to fight another day, gently gave St. J. a thumper on- the north--eye. which is now "closed for repairs." A blonde bookkeeper of the Republican was next called out. His flannel shirt was of a gray color, quite in keeping with his firm determination tn annihilate his tutor at the first onslaught.
He didn't do it to any great extent, for as be reached out his left duke, which looked like a stuffed bladder, Tom gave him a lively tap on the smeller, which sent him to grass. Before another round was completed it was difficult to tell which was the nose and which the boxing-glove, and the blonde sent out for a half dozen leeches. In explanation of this rough treatment, Tom, the teacher, said "he wanted to show the boys how it was done." Several others toed the mark with the muscular Kelly, and retired entirely satisfied.

An Illy Constructed and Fragile Brick Structure Topples Over, Burying Whiskey, Beer and Other Refreshments In the Debris. Some days ago the building on the northwest corner of Fourth and Elm street, was torn down and the foundation a new four-story brick business house is now being laid. The house next to the new foundation is an eight-inch wall brick structure of antiquated construction occupied by Martin Henry as a beer saloon and casino. For several days the saloon building has exhibited premonotorv symptoms of tumbling down, and to guard against this a number of props were pat up to sustain the shaky walls. This morning, at 9 :30 o'clock, while Bernard Fisher and Jno.
W. Cook, bar-tenders, were dispensing refreshments, they felt the old structure shaking with evident signs of distress. The south wall trembled only long enough to allow them to escape at the bacK door, and the workmen on the foundation of the new building to get out of the way, when it fell with a loud crash, tbe red bricks tumbling over on the foundation and the piaster and joists tumbling down on the bar fixtures, mashing bottles and glasses in a wicked manner. Fortunately no one was hurt. In the debris is a $125 clock, several barrels cf whiskey, $25 or $30 in money, cigars, etc.
The whole damage will amount to about tbe property is owned by the estate of Alexander Raiser, roe the lioeek, agents. The adjoining buildings are in a verv unsafe and rickety condition, liable to fall at any moment if not attended to and proper! braced at once. Style, Beauty, Comfort and Cheapness Combined.
