THE BATTLE WAS A DRAW And Came Near Being; General Among; tho Gentleman Spectator! Three Clerer Contests Given by the Coney Island Athletic Club. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 9. A ttlect few on the inside of the high-toned maBculine society at the Spa have been all agog over the preparations that hare been making for several days for a fin ish prize fight, Queensberrr rales, be tween two well known society young men. One of the principals is Daniel W. Shea of Boston, and the other is Sidney Smith of Ballston Spa, of this county. Both men are splendid specimens of physical manhood and both ara expert boxers. Shea is the eon of a wealthy Boston family, a Harvard college stu dent and tho champien heavyweight boxer of the college and a well known society man in Boston. He is abont 23 years of ags and weighs 178 pounds. Smith is 24 years of age and weighs 158 pounds. He is the sen of the wealthiest family in Ballston Spa. The match was the result of a meeting between the two men during the tennis tournament last week, when a discussion of their respective merits as boxers resnlted in a challenge. The fight was for blood and honor aud there was no money except what was wagered between the friends of the men. At 10 o'clock a. m. two tally-ho coaches drove away from the United States hotel, containing the principals and the preferred friends, about thirty in all. The ring was in a barn on (Smith's property at Ballston. seven miles from Saratoga, and at 11:30 a. m. the men entered the ring and faced each other, stripped to tho waist and wearing four-ounce gloves. Billy Edwards, of New York, acted as re feree. Jimmy Larkin, of the Scottish American club, of New York, seconded Shea, and Smith's corner was looked after by his cousin, George Smith, one of the wealthiest young residents of Saratoga. The proprietor of tho lead ing bath of the village, was time-keeper. It was a game fight from start to finish. First Round After sparring for an opening Smith remarked. "Why don't you make one of those Harvard rushes now?" Ho no sooner had the words out when he was rushed to his corner and over the ropos among the spectators. He got back into the ring and some sharp exchanges followed, thoy clinched and in the breakaway Smith landed heavily from trie shoulder on Shea's nose and mouth, knocking him com pletely off his feet. Shea was down seven seconds and when he got on his feet again made a terrible rush, driving at Smith's head. Smith met him neatly and sent him to the floor a second time, by a heavy blow on the jaw. The Bos ton man was quickly on his feet and some savage in-fighting followed, when they clinched and time was called. Blood was flowing from Shea's nose at the end of the round. Second The men were both pretty well windod when they toed the scratch. Shea recovered his second wind and forced tho fighting and had the bsst of the round all through. A few short range shots were fired when Shea found an opening on Smith's ribs and landed a stinger which nearly took Smith's breath away. Shea followed up the advantage with two or three hard thumps which Smith was unable to parry. At this point one of Smith's friends called out "Time" and claimed the fight. Smith's friends rushed into the ring and rushed him away amid hoots and yells of the the Boston man's supporters. There was almost a free fight among the gentlemen spectators, but Edwards ended the affair by declaring the fight a draw. Shea and his friends were much disgusted with the decision and offered to make nnother match on tho spot for blood or for any amount of money the Ballston man wished to pnt up. After the fight the party drove back to Saratoga, where their appear ance and the story of the fight created a great sensation at tho hotels, it is very probable that another meeting will be had in the near future. WORK OF WIND AND HAIL A Tornado Doe Grant Damage In South ern nilnneiota 3Iarsb.mll Again Storm Svrept. Marshall, Minn.. Aug. 9. The worst tornado and hailstorm ever known in southern Minneeota covered por tions of Lincoln and Yellow MedioiHe connties and the northern half of Lyon county. Present reports indicate a loss in Lyon county of no lass than $500,000. At 4.50 a. m., tho tornado struck Mar shall, and passed over the same coarse as the blow of last Friday when the Cumminga house and other buildings were demoHshsd. The in jured family wa3 in another building. Near Gumming the Icelandic Lutheran church was picked up and thoroughly demolished. Several barns and small buildings were crushed and overturned and innumerable trees blown down. Nearly all the glass on the north side of the street of mo3t of the buildings in town wai smashed. In the northern part of town the ground was covered with hail stones, tho average size being an inch and a half in diameter, but many were much larger. At Canby crops were destroyed in a strip five miles wide. The Canby gun club was overtaken on the prairie and badly beaten by hail. Some of the mem bers are missing. Dispatches from Stillwater, Northfield and Bird Island report great dam age to crops by the wind storm. Large tracts of grain were leveled and will not be worth cutting. A heavy rainfall ia reported. Deacon Divorce Case Postponed. Paris, Aug. 9. The case of Edward Parker Deacon against his wife for adultery with Abielle has been post poned until October. A Fearful Alternative. "Protection is'doomed!"' is the excla mation of those who aro trying to make party capital out of recent strikes and riots. Very well, then; let us havo Grover Cleveland and free trade. And after we get Grover Cleveland and free trade, after protection shall bo no more, we shall then seo whether everybody will have plenty and content, and bo happy therein; whether there never will be any further trouble about wages; whether strikes and riots will be no more; whether there will be no further accumulation of wealth on tho ono hand or examples of poverty on the other. Portland Oregonian. Some Complications of Free Trade. It ought to be evident from this show ing that free trade, which on tho fiscal side will only tax a larger number of persons and on tho industrial side will only increase importations and add a new factor to domestic competition, will not prove the industrial and social pana cea which it is represented to be. "We need but point to Great Britain for con firmation of our contention. No coun try in the world is more vexed with so cial and industrial questions than Great Britain, and most of them have arisen since the adoption of free trade. De troit Tribune. CHAIRMAN CARTER. TVhat Leading Newspapers Think of the Republican Campaign Director. In choosing Mr..Carter as its chair man tho Republican national commit tee selected a leader of whose compe tency and fitness there can be no doubt. Mr. Carter was one of the five men orig inally proposed as chairman when the committee first met for the purpose of organization at Washington. The per sonal reasons which induced him to de cline to be considered for the place were yesterday waived, and the rule of the committee, which was thought to pre vent the election of any one not a mem- TIIOMAS H. CARTER. ber, followed Mr. Carter's objections. Republicans will say with one accord that they are glad to be rid of both the objections and the rule, and that thej' will follow the leadership of this ardent, strong and popular chairman with com plete confidence that ho will carry them to victory. Mr. Carter possesses certain character istics that justify this assurance. He is cool. He does not lose his head. His perceptions are quick, his instincts sure, his judgment is safe and his resolution ready. Few men in the country are more widely or pleasantly known to those on whom falls the burden of polit ical campaigning. To the workers of the party therefore his selection will come with an especially strong feeling of satisfaction. He has never been a f actionist. There is no side, no element, no following with which he is not en tirely friendly. This is not due to the fact that he lacks decision of character or the force to back his opinions and preferences. But he has the great knack of getting along pleasantly with his fellow men, of achieving his purposes without giving offense and of holding his friendships fiimly while always increasing their number. Ho will make a good chair man of that we are more than sure. He will make a good leader, valiant, loyal and inspiring. And he will be able to obtain from the body of distin guished gentlemen who elected him to be their oflicial head that degree of work which is the full measure of any committee's capacity. It will be united, earnest, steady, systematic work. It will be work of honest men, intense Re publicans and scientific politicians. Aud it will win! New York Tribune. Protection Prevents Strikes. This larger prosperity of American working classes under the high wages of a protective tariff naturally tends to reduce the amount of labor troubles, and though some friction is always to be ex pected while social differences exist and human nature remains what it is, never theless it is fully demonstrated that pro tection is preventive rather than pro motive of strikes and labor difficulties. Cleveland Leader. The World Is Better for it. The world is better because of such a remedy as IJallard's Snow Liuiment, because this article relieves it of much pain and misery, and we are thus enabled to enjoy its brighter sido. It positively cures all forms of Rheumatism, Neural gia, Headache, Sick Headache, Lame Back, all Sores and Wounds, Cuts, Sprains, Bruises, Stiff J Joints, Contracted Muscles, Poison, Eruptions, Corns, Weak Back, aud nil pain and all inflammation on man or beast.

Streitz. 4-2 A Democratic Candidate's Plan. John P. Altgeld has declared himself against a nonpartisan judiciary in Chi cago, and has asked the Democrats of Cook county to nominate a full number of candidates for the present vacancies on tho bench and for those which will occur during the year. This attempt to turn tho judiciary of a great city into a partisan body stamps Altgeld as a dan gerous demagogue. The best Democrats in Chicago are satisfied with the present equal division of the judges between the parties, and are opposed to the idea of having them all of one politics. The nonpartisan plan has been in operation twelve years, and the longer it is tried the stronger it grows in favor. Bloom ington (Ills.) Pantagraph. Stevenson's 'Strength." As the days following the Democratic convention at Chicago increase in num ber, it appears that there was more method than madness in tho nomination of Adlai Stevenson to the vice presi dency. While as yet there does not seem to be sufficient proof to positively connect him with the avowed enemies of the government in 1863 and 1864, or to utterly damn him in the north, the mere fact that Cleveland's running mate is openly charged with such disloyalty will perhaps serve to strengthen his ticket in certain sections of the south. Philadelpliia North American. Democracy Has Xo Issue. The stuffed indignation of the Demo cratic editors and statesmen over the force bill is ono of the most amusing phases of tho present campaign. Of course nobody cares a fig about the force bill outside of the south, which is all Democratic anyway, and the bill is not an issue anywhere. The fact is, De mocracy has no real issue on which it dares to make a light, and so they are forced to erect their own scarecrow and shako their fists at the ragged monster. Oakland (Cal.) Tribune. A Plain Issue. This is going to be a campaign of edu cation. The tariff is to bo the issue. There will bo no shrinking from the test on either side. It is a question whether America shall be for the American peo ple, including all who have come to our shores and have adopted onr customs and laws, or whether we shall give up developing our own country aud depend largely on Europe for our manufactures. That is all there is of it. Philadelphia Inanirer. Other medicines might help, but to make assurauco doubly sure use De Witt's Sarsapnrilla to enrich, purify and renew the blood. A. F. Streilz.

The Mugwump wrings the wrinkles from his hair. The loonbird calls throughout the long dark night. The wise owl flutters from her free trade lair.

ENVOI. Here the woodpecker their force bills indite. Even the wild waves don't care what thej say And right is wrong, and everything Is writo On the consecrated shores of Buzzard's bay! New York Recorder. "an outrageous gerrymander. He Won't Please Democrats. We fancy that the Democratic news papers will not bo satisfied -with the election of Mr. Thomas H. Carter, of Montana, as chairman of tho Repub lican national committee. It may bo assumed, we think, that almost anj other person would have suited them better. Bnt tho Republicans will try to get along with Mr. Carter, although of course they are always ready to ac knowledge the candor and wisdom of Democratic suggestions in regard to the management of Republican campaigns. Wilmington (Del.) News. Just tlio Man for tho Place. The selection of Hon. Thomas H. Car ter, of Montana, by tho Republican na tional executive committee as national chairman will meet the hearty indorse ment of all Republicans. Although a young man, Mr. Carter is well known among the great workers of the party as a Republican of ability and energy, and just the man for such a position. As an organizer he has few equals; he is a tireless worker and his efforts will show good results in the northwest. Pottsville (Pa.) Journal. Wait Until Election '!glit. "Who is Carter?' It is tho Utica Ob server which asks this idle question. Late on election night next November say about 1:13 o'clock the next morn ing the editor of The Observer as ho surveys the more or less picturcsqno ruins of the Cleveland ticket will have the fact impressed upon his soul with considerable distinctness that he recol lects who Carter is. New York Tribnne. A Tireless Worker and Organizer. Mr. Carter is a tireless worker. His organizing capacity is well known. He is one of those Republicans who is known as the most loyal of President Harrison's friends. He has wide ac quaintance with the men who are lead ers of Republicanism in the states where the presidential election will be most hotly contested. Chester (Pa.) News. Honest Confession Is a Great Kelief. The New York Sun wants Mr. Cleve land to writo a letter to Senator Gorman frankly acknowledging that he aud not Gorman was responsible for the attempt to straddle tho tariff at St. Louis four years ago. While Mr. Cleveland is writing that letter he ought also to ex plain who suggested tho tariff straddle proposed at Chicago several weeks ago, when his friend Vilas fought so valiant ly against an honest free trade expres sion. Chicago Inter Ocean. A Sad Contrast. The Democratic party has not had an Illinois man on its national ticket since 1860, when Douglas ran for president; and the contrast between Douglas and Stevenson shows how sadly said party has deteriorated. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The I'orce Hill Absurdity. The Republicans, with possession of the presidency and the control of con gress, would be just about as apt to pass a "force bill" as they would bo to enact a lawf or the re-establishment of slavery. The force bill has just about as much of a legitimate place as an issue iu tho campaign as Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Denver Sun. Let Stevenson Testify. The congressional investigating com mittee at Homestead should have sum moned the Democratic candidate for vice president as a witness, and had him give the results of his experience as an employer of nonunion labor in his Illinois coal mine. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Hoiv Tammany Has Manipulated the New York Legislative Districts. The Tammany Hall committee, which had charge of the legislative reappor tionment of the city, sent to the board of aldermen, acting as a board of super visors, the scheme of districting on which Boss Croker and his henchmen had agreed. It is needless to say that the Tammany serfs in the city hall at once executed the orders of their mas ters. The law provides that the super visors shall perform this duty, but in this country an irresponsible Body un known to the law did the work, and tho supervisors had no more to do with it than the Oklahoma Indians or the sav ages of darkest Africa. The reapportionment is a fraud and an outrage upon the Republicans of this city. While the number of districts is increased from twenty-four to thirty, the number of Republicans who can possi bly be elected owing to the gerrymander is only three, or about the same as under tho old apportionment. The Republican voto of this city for Harrison in 1888 was .in round figures 107,000, and for Cleve land 162,000, being a majority of 55,000. Under the manipulation of Tammany the Democrats will have a representa tion in the assembly nine times as large as that of the Republicans. This is out of all uronortion to the numerical strength of the two parties. The Repnb- - , i hcans of New York city are praencauy disfranchised in the assembly. New York Recorder. The Difference. Some of the employees in Coates& Co.'s tin plate mill at Locust point, Bal timore harbor, which was destroyed by fire, received, according to the proprie tor, as much as $5.60 a day. The best paid workmen in Eng lish tin plate mills (the foreman), accord ing to Mr. Wilkins Frick, formerly secretary of the Wales Tin Plate Mak ers' association, of Swansea, received 814.40 per week, or 2.40 ner day. New York Press. Making It Easy for Republicans. The Democratic convention and the Democratic congress together have done much toward making the Republican campaign work this year light and easy, with full assurance of reward. Kansas City Journal. Motion to Amend. Senator Hill should amend it to read, "I am a Democrat on the quiet." Wash i gton Post.

All the trusts are for him.

St. Lonis Globe-Democrat. Steve nnd CIcvc. The first thing "Cleve" did when "Steve" arrived at Gray Gables was to invite him to inspect his new brand of bait and to show him the corner of the refrigerator where the Jeffersonian sim plicity is kept. After examining the tackle "Steve" ceased to wonder at "Cleve's" big luck as a fisherman. New York Press. a ara ut for Democrats. It is found that there were three times as many strikes in the protected indus tries during the Cleveland period as there have been for tho same length of time under the McKinley law. The strikes in Cleveland's time are just as fairly attributable to the Mills bill as are the strikes now to the McKinley law.' A study of these facts ought to teach free trade editors wisdom unless they are indeed past all hope. Illinois State Journal. A House Divided Against Itself. On every question of public policy the Democratic party has developed violent differences and has become a house divided against itself, and there fore unable to stand.
