For the pn < t few days ( ho topic of cnn- vdrantion m sporting circles hn.i boon tlio Nugcnt-Ktiith fight of a week ago. An- oilier pugillpflf encounter has ju l taken place which will doubtless furnish a ( homo equally interesting. Knrly Sunday morning occurred 0110 of the most hotly contested , nlboit promptly wound nj , prlzo lights ever Keen in this cltj. The principals were "Zcko" Murdoch. a wcll-knoxvn gambler , recently anhed hero fiom Davenport , lown , nnd Robert Poland , alias "Windy Jk > b"nn equally Well-known "man of the tow.1" ' Thu nfl'nir } ) ' won entirely im promptu , and grew out of n quarrel which both men bad nt a caloon "open ing" on Fifteenth street. A per emptory challenge was issued by Mur doch to settle tlio nfl'uir In a ring outside of the city , when ! police in terference would bo Impossible. Poland , vilio Is aptly styleil "Wmdj , " Ilnully con cluded to nceet ] ) tlio challenge , and ( nicks worn engaged for the whole party , in- chilling MHno twelve or fifteen sporting men who happened to bo present. The party was driven out on Sherman ave nue , beyond the city limits , where u level miot was selected and u ring marked out , 0. A. Smith , the pugilist , aetcd as "mas- tor of ceremonies" and referee , superin tending the ? details of tlio arrangements. AltliotiK.lt the air was rather eliilly , the men stripped to the waist and faced each other. Murdoch was much taller and a trillo heavier than his opponent , and those circumstances , added to that of his being a 'scientific ' sp.-irrcr , gave him n ninrked advantage over Poland. When time was called both men advanced and shook hands. The round opened with a emulous sparring for the first moment or two. Then Murdoch reached in and beating down the guard of his opponent , commenced to rain in a series of telling blown. Poland defended himself as best bo could , and succeeded in planting several stinging blows on the phtz of his opponent , but it soon became. ovidcut that ho was the weakest man of the two. The round closed with some vicious fehort-arm work , and Poland bu- ing exhausted , rushed in and clinched with Murdoch. Both fell , Murdoch on top. SECOND ItOUNI ) . The two men we ro at once separated. and without waiting for the formality of taking the customary two minutes' rest they rushed at it , again. It was soon evi dent that Poland was badly used up , nnd that unless he .soon regained his wind be would have to throw uu the sponge. Murdoch commenced to press the light , and again beating down Poland's guard. planted vicious right and left banders all over bis face and body. Poland made 'frantic endeavors to brace himself and dealt Murdoch one or two savngo cuts which , how ever , failed to draw blood. The round was closed by Murdoch's planting a ter- rilie right bander on Pohind's ear which almost throw nim from his feet lie fell back exhausted nnd called for the refcreo to close tbo fight , saj'ing that ho had enough. The nye men were then told to shake hands which they did very reluct antly. Poland was covered with blood , and the short round and a half had quite evidently used him up pretty thoroughly. Murdoch , on the other hand , was as fresh ns a daisy , and hardly scratched. RAILWAY MATTEK9. Nine Jlourn Tiino in the Shops The licit Ivlno Mai , I2tc. The Union Pacific shops' whistle blew "the assembly" nt 7 yesterday morn ing.Late Late Saturday afternoon n notice over the band of General Superintendent Smith , was posted through tbo various departments of tlio shops , to the cfl'ect that dully work would be extended from eight to nine hours , beginning each day nt 7 n. m. instead of 8. a. m. as has been the custom for the past two months. An otlicial of the road was approached on the subject and asked to explain its eignificance. "It means , " said he , "that the eight hour system is played out so far as our experience with it is concerned. Since the reduction of time some several weeks ago , the1 work of the chops has never been thoroughly satisfactory. It has actually occurred that wo have failed tote to get eight hours' work out of the men , whether through intention on their part or sheer inability J am not prepared to way. Hut tlio fact is that each day saw discrepancy and left over odd jobbs which , in the course of the week , accumulated to a formidable task , and demanded extra hours of work to dispose of. " The schedule of wages is the same , and the men seemed pleated enough at the rhango and the opportunities it oilers for more earnings. Tim hours are now : From 7 a. m to noon ; from 1 p. m. to 5 p. in. , nine houri ? a day. 1I1E 11KI.T LINK. Mr. S. II. II.

The work of condemnation has been go ing on rapidly for the ptist few \\ocks , and the land lias nearly all been secured Mr. Clark bald , however , that until ( ho right of way had been secured for the en tire line , It would not do to make a de tailed ( statement of the route. "For. " said ho , "if F were to tell you exactly how our line will cross such and such points , the land in those places , which wo" have not secured , would bu put up tea a much higher price than we could in all reason iillord to pay. " Mr , Clark , however , gave the reporter n general idea of the route of the line. It will commence on the south line of California street , limn run west t > uvcral blocks until It htrikes Fifteenth strei < t. On this thoroughfare it will continue northward ifor n mile or M > , running parallel with the line of the Northwest era for hovcral blocks , and fhootiiig westward when it reaches the fair grounds , until it strikes the blutl'a.

"What do you think of the ticket made up in Saturday's eonv ention ? " was ask ed of several prominent democrats yes terday morning. The responses were all of ( ho same ten or and to thi ) etl'eet tint "tlio respeot.iblo element of the county democracy would handle it with a ment n\c anil slaughter the ticket in tlio goriest of gory fashions. " " " said "If 'do ' the "Say , one , gang' or machine crowd in the Douglas street democracy think they can saddle such rill'-raU'upon us. they are fooled and it is the purpose of tlio rank and file to give it their time. With the exception of one or two men on the ticket , who are clean , personally popular men , ' .snowed under * does _ not half express the disastrous fate which awaits that ticket. " The "kick" which the county democ racy is making is of great vigor and dangerous ' gerous to its interests' in the isnio of the present campaign. A bolt is imminent. NOl'KS. Mr. John O'Connell , a prominent third warder , has announced luniiolf as an independent - dependent democratic candidate for shcrifT. He has many friends iu this city. especially among the workingmeii , and will make a lively rustle for n lirst place. Judge D J. Selden announces himself as an independent candidate for justice of the peace in the first district. The judge says that "do boys" have had it too much their own way and he proposes personally to sustain his interests. Under stress of much electioneering , Mr. P. Ford , the democratic candidate for Mieriir , has temporarily lost control of bis voice , and now goes about declar ing political gospel as husky as a si Lam- boat whistle in a fog. Lenvcmvorth Street Griitlc. A large delegation of property owners on Leavenworth and College streets were present at the city council chamber last evening to meet the council committee on grades and grading. Prominent in the delegation were John T. Bell , C W. Hamilton anil City Attorney Council , all heavy property owners on Leaven- worth street. The gentlemen were pres ent to consult with the committee in ref erence to the established grade of Letiv- enworth street between Twentieth and Jacob. This grade , which was estab lished by ordinance some three months ago , bad not proved ( -atisfaetory to a number of property owners on thntstrcct and College street , some being dissatis- lied because the street would be out too much in front of their property , and others becau&o it would be lined "in too much. The deepest cut couti'tr.pHto.d in the grade is thirteen feet , and at the in tersection of Collesro i-trcet n 111 ! of twenty-three feet would be necessary. An outline of the strict bad been prepared - pared by some of the members of the delegation , showing the grade as estab lished. Over it had been drawn n pro file indicating a compromise grade which some of the members of the delegation favored. The latter grade reduced both the cuts and fillings contemplated In the established grades , but , if adopted , would make the street a series of .steep rises and declivities. Mr. Hamilton , in front of whoso property the street would be cut away ten feet by ; the established gradu , was in favor of the compromise grade , which reduces the cut by several feet. feet.City Attorney Council , however , ex pressed himself ns being in favor of oven a more radical grade than ( ho estab lished one. Ills property fronts the street where both the deepest cuts and the largest fills will be made , but ho consid ered that the grade which would improve the htreet the most , without reference to tbij property abutting on it , was the one which should be adopted. It would , in the cud , he believed , result in the value of the property , lie expressed I ho belief that Leavenworth btrei-t , if properly graded , will -shortly become one of the leading MroeU of Omaha , be ing to tiio southern part of the city what ( 'umiiig street is to tne northern part. The committee took the matter under advisement and will repoit their deliber ations to the city council this evening. Amnteiir Tlieati-lualH.

OMAHA'S I'OIiICIS Something About tbo 3Icn Who Ciitnrd ( lie City .Alnr.sliul Oiiin inliiK AVnntH n Iinrfjer 1''orco Tlio I'nd-ol AViiRon. "What this needs " said city , MnrMiaj. Cuminings to u reporter yesterday , "is a largely increased police force. Wo have now thirty men.which number Is entirely lee small. Tlio force should consist of at lea = t fifty men , and then it would bo none too large. At present wo haVe not men enough to patrol llio cityns it should be patrolled , nnd il is a wonder that with the small number of policemen we have , there is not more crime committed In the highways nnd the bjwajs. " Marshal Cuminings being pressed for facls in support of bis statements , gave the reporter Homo points concerning Omaha's police force , Vthleh may not prove uninteresting , especially as the general public know nothing of llio men who guard llio city's "homos and lire sides , " and of the life they lead. There arc at present thirty men on the police force of lliis city. Of this mini ber , one is sick , which leaves n force of SO men for ncttinl duty. Of those , two ollieers urn detailed for jail duty , one in the day linn ; and one at night. Then there is a man especially detailed for "city business" to collect lines , licences , etc and one man assigned to special court duty , who "calls court , " serves subpunaes , etc. And , finally , there is one man who is known as tbo olllcer-at-largc , who has the entire city an his heal , and who is supposed to make " " of the and a general "round-up" tramiH suspicious characters ho meets in his travels. This leaves twenty-four men for actual duty on beats. Ten of thc > -c are assigned to day work and fourteen to night duty. Two of then- men are known as roundsmen and are detailed to make a general night and day "roundup" of thu city , and to see that all the policemen are not sleeping or loaling in saloons , and are otherwise strictly attending to duty. The territory covered by tin so po licemen extLiidd from Ninth street to about Sixteenth street and Irom Loin en- worth street to ( uminjr. A number of policemen are compelled , under the pres ent order of things , to patrol two and even three streets , homo of them for a distance of eight or ten blocks. Twelve hours constitutes a day's work for the members of the day force. They go on their bents at 7 o'clock in the morn ing and leave them at 7 o'clock iu the evening , and go to roll-call at the police court , when , alter that formality , they give vui > to tin1 night men The "owls" patrol their beats until 5 o'clock in the morning , when they go to "early dawn roll-calf , " and two policemen are son t out to patrol the town on dogwatch , from .1 to 7 o'clock. On the lirst of each month the nion arc "changed around" that SM , the ni lit men ex-change places with the day men. This rotation is kept up the year around , and gives the men an equal taste of night and day work. MnrMinl Cummins * , of course , is the " executive bead of "the force , and from him all orders emanate , though he , m turn , is under orders from the major He is assisted by Cant. Sullivan , who at tends to the minor details , sees that all orders are strictly executed , and acts as n sort of general roundsman. The general headquarters of the police force arc tlio city jail. Here the orders are issued every night at roll-call , and here are kept tlio books containing the descriptive circulars and rewards ( otlercd tor the apprehension of thieves , murder ers , and other criminals , etc ) . The policemen nro required to look over these descriptive circulars every night , so that they can bo on the lookout for llio crimi nals mimed tbcicin. The salary of a policeman is $70 per month. The captain receives $80 a month and the marshal . ! , ( iOO a year. Till : MA YOU THINKS < > , TOO. Tn this connection the utterance - anco of Mayor Boyd concerning a needed increase in tlio number of men on the force may be aptly quoted : "I tell you now what 1 have often said be fore that Iho present police force is too small. It ought to consist of at least lifty men. The present force is cntirnly too small to guard thu oily properly. And yet I don't see how we can make the increase yet , bccnu-e there is no ! the necessary money in the city treasury. " mi : I'ATitor , WAGON . At the last meeting of tin1 city council , the appointments ol two drivers of the patrol wagon , handed in by ( ho mayor , were confirmed. It is expected that the "Pilaok Maria , " will bo completed and out on tiie streets within ten days or two weeks. A Novel 1'ai-ly.

Mr. Io\d ! prefaced his remarks by de claring lus heartfelt sympathy for the movement iu the interest of Irish nation ality as it was being conducted by Charles Stewart Purnell. The .speaker declared that the dimensions popularly believed to be existing in Ireland are all m.\thicnL and that religious elements and civil factions of all Kinds were united at heart in the aiUanecuicnt of Ireland's hopes , and that Pnrnell , although a reformer , had no stronger supporters than the bi. hops of the Catholic church. He de- lined the political situation in Ircl.im ! and stated that out of the 105 candidates for parliament , Mr. Parnell hopes to gain at least W of these. In the birth of a new parly , great dilliculties are always encountered , and thus the new part.v of Irish nationality , in Mruirgling for a foot hold. merits IheJ support of the true patriot of every nation. PKNAIOlt \ AN WVCK. Prolonged npnlauso gieeted the intro duction of Nebraska's senior senator. He began by stating that 'the clVorls of the oppressed against power , the weak against the stronger , should enli t tbc sympathy ot every American citizen. He cited tliu discus sion which arose in congress twenty years ago , upon the right of an individual to expatriate himself troni the land of his nativity and adopt as his home the nation of his choice. It was at that time discovered that England denied this right. Challenging the tyrannic dogmas of the British go\ermin.'iH , con gress ptibMHl the free land laws and opened the gates of tlio land to the pil- ofrim from every clime and nation. Eng land's power is founded on her wealth. Kich be.\ond conception , hui" money , ac companied by her power , readies to every corner of the globe , lie cited the compulsory delivery of Kossuth from an Austrian prison under stress of Ameiiea'd threatening cannon , and declared that the f 'n i ted Mates lias so inuuh submitted to the power of Great Britain as never to demand peremptorily the surrender of lier detained oitixens. But Eng land has shown' signs of weak ening ; she but a. short time since recoiled from impending contlict witli Itussia and has ingloriously retired from a disastrous war with the Arabs. Die speaker reverted to the fact that Irish soldiery had won England's great est b.tttlcs and followed the drum-boat if her conquests around the world. While , said the speaker , we are looking to the interests of liberty beyond the seas , we have grave considerations at land uion our own shores , for the holies of the tuturc. depend upon the purity of American institutions. He pointed out that while Kiiglihh yeomanry is strug gling from under the oppressions ot n titled aristocracy , ( lie American people were bitting supinely by while a iiccrngo noru dangerous and formidable than hat of Great Britain was growingnp within the republic. So luhaueed is hi ° rebellion of the British yeomanry bat the day of Us liberation in not far distant , anil its advent would bu attended vith Iribh emancipation. He declared hat England had the enmity of every nition under the aim and recited the oc casions upon which Mio ha.s shown her instility to America. Further wrongs she has done nslio ; did u > wrong when site hurried Irish American citi/.ciis into ler dungeons ; .she did us wrong when she assisted ( lie enemies of America to lestroy this country. She has cruelly mprcssed Ireland , taunted the Irish peo- ) lo with vain promises , rubbed them of s\cn their subsistence and cheated them lersislontly of their God-given rights. [ 'he American citinen is entitled to lAaomblu lor popular declarations of sympathy for a libcrty-Htrngglingland , mil Mich a meeting as this ono was per- cclly compatible witli the home duties if American citi/.ens. TlitsspunkiT said that he was sometimes censured lor remarks alleged to favor certain parties , but had on tnis occasion aid nothing to which exception could bo alvcn , as ho bad meiely repealed his itteninceh of twenty jcurn ago. In proof > l tliis he read from n congressional vport a portion of a resolution deiioiinc- ng England for the sei/.uro of Mason and jlnlell and oilier Ann ricnn citi/eim. 'rom tins sami ! document lie quoted the ligh disliiution which Irishmen have von in all parts of the world , and the glories of Ireland's arms , which con- jluded in a splendid panegyric upon the tame of Hie great Celtic nation and her ons. ons.Wo hnvu learned , ho resumed , lh.it bore are tilings dearer to us than lilo. t is national liberty , and for this boon ho greatest and purest of'tho names of hose on the pageH of history Inn c yielded heir llvos.

But England never wearcs of lufnming the fulliiitmo of Ireland , and ler lying enemies are scattered every - where from Washington to the vutiean. .

He recited the wrongs of Ireland , denounced tlio toric.s and launched analbuma.s at Glad- stcjiic , Bright , Chamberlain ami Dilko. U is us much the right of Ireland to take independence from English tyranny as It was the right of America , and ii.s'muoh Ireland's prerogative to win that eman cipation by the situc means a did Amer ica , if .she were able. Ireland docs not beg , but isappealin ' to her expatriated sons that their brothers at homo are in the. thick , of the lluhtnot that tight In which it would be better to see them , but the only struggle which limy are able to make. With woul of passionate lire , the speaker painted the martyrdoms of Ire land , and invoked tin * sympathy of the audience iu the steps which thai land ie taking for vengeance. Not for arms docs Ireland a k Anieilea , but. . as did llio continental congrt ss in the dark days of the revolution send Iratern.ilgreot.ingn to the Irisli pcopli'j so does liclnnd today appeal to America for all the aid , moral and material , that is possible to nllbrd helaiid will ue\er rest content until the gra.sp of monarchy is taken fron her. Already England sees tbo handwriting on the wall , and in stead of tbc " " "Impos-ildo" answer , of some months ago , the query COIIICM , "Will j on promise to ask lor 'no more than houii' rule ? " The speaker quoted Mr. Parnejl'.s patriotic repl.to Ibis iu < ; > tion , refusing to engage himself to bind the people or plnee himself as a Mumb ling block to a nation's progress. Tlio "peakerconcluded w ith : i spirited declar ation , that if England refuses to gr.int the last demands of Iivhiml , the entire world of Irishmen will unite themselves in one terrible but righteous conspiracy to attain the hopes of liberty. HON. jtntx i , . wiisrKu : ! , Hon. Joint L.
