A brutal prlzo flpht occurred In a snloon In this ctt.y lost nlijht which Ims resulted In tlio death of ono of tlio partlclpnt.ts. Thomas E. Jnckson , well known In tlio local prlzo lighting circles , was the victim. Ho wns only eighteen years of ago. Jackson fought with Ed Ahoarn , n Jlocnl light weight champion , cloven bloody rounds , and nt the opening of tlio twelfth fell fainting into hlci second's arms. The fight throUKhout was ono of the most ilesponUo battles over witnessed In tlio ring , Rclonco bolnir lost sight of and iflvo and talto slugging marked the llpht throughout. When JacKfton foil unconscious ho was carried to n room ubovo tlio saloon and thrco physicians were called. They worked vig orously , bill without ttv nil , and at 11 o'cloctc Jackson died. The chief of pollco has ordered the arrest of all pnrtlcs concerned in the affair. The affair has created intcnso excitement , as prominent people will likely bo- coino Involved. The referee wns the sporting editor of a lending morning paper The spectators were principally Pool alley snorts , who raado up ttio purse of $30 for which the men , or rather boys , con- tested. Two-ounce gloves were used. Ahcarn Is a gaslltter by occupation and a fighter bv inclination. Jackson was known In sporting' circlet as. Jack King , and his parents were Ignorant of his pugilistic u'm- bltlon. An eye witness of tbo battle says It , wns ono of the bloodiest contests ho ever wit nessed. After tbo first round science was entirely disregarded , The bodies of the men were striped and blotched with blood , tholr tights were stained and their gloves slippery - pory , both having bled freely from ttio nose and face , The crowd which contributed the $ H ) for which tbo men were fighting cheered them on wlillo the floor was getting slippery from their blood. In the eleventh and last round both mon were BO weak they could hardly stand up. Ahearn with an effort struck Jackson a swinging blow , which floored him , fulling on top of him from the impetus of his own blow. When time was called for the twelfth round Jnckson was put on his feet and shoved for ward by his seconds , but almostimmcdiiitcly foil buck unconscious. His body , as scon nt the morgue , presents a horrible appearance. Tlio Up * hang In shreds ; the lac'j is ono livid mass oCbattcrcd liuman llcsh , black and blue and terribly swollen. His chest docs not show marks or bruises to any great extent , sd'thn man must have received all ttio blows on his face and head. Ahoarn , the surviving principal , was ar rested this afternoon. Ho seems to bo proud of the light bo made and says Jackson must have had heart disease. The proprietors of the saloon where the light occurred , and the seconds'nnd two time keepers have been ar rested , and several others will probably bo behind the bars before morning , so there are many uneasy sports to-nighl. Young Jackson left homo about a month ago on account of a quarrel with tils father , who , it appears , had objected to his taking part ! n pugilistic encounters in a gymnasium. l''lshts On the iocKs.

Early this morning ttio men appeared at the docks and went to work peaceably with the "black logs , " the men who had taken their places during the strike. Later the strikers and "black legs" became involved in n dispute on the India dock , and the men who had been on atriko drove the "black legs" out of the dock. The police interfered and quelled the disturbance. The strikers then withdrew and the "blacklegs" resumed work. The striking workmen ana "blacklces" on the Albert dock to-day had some trouble , in which the latter received injuries which necessitated their removal to the hospital. Tlio men who made the assault were dis charged. The directors of the dock companies threaten a general lockout if the men do not live up to tlio terms of the agreement their representatives have signed.

At the meeting bf Tenth street property owners and the special committee of the council to consider the viaduct question yes terday afternoon , thrco propositions were submitted. Ono was for n sixty.foot viaduct the second for an eighty-foot viaduct , giving the abutting property owners the right to oc cupy the ground In front of their property up to the viaduct ; ntul the third n viaduct ono hundred feet in width , the full width of the street. Councilman llascall atntcU that the railroad company could not touch ono cent of whatever money inlclit bo appropriated until the viaduct and ilopot arc built. Ho also stated that the Union PuoHlo would exert themselves to got the eastern roads to cross their bridge nnd como Into the depot , ns n business matter , to prevent another bridge ifrom boliiR built. James Stophcnson asked how It was pro posed to ndjust the damages for the various widths of viaducts. Hnicall said that n , number of property holders had said they would waive all dam ages If a CO-foot viaduct wns put In. Stephenson turned to William Paxton nnd asitod him if ho would waive damages for any width of viaduct. Mr. Pnxton replied that ho would not. StcphciiRon then announced that ho would wnlvo all damages 1C a 100-foot viaduct was built. Paxton asked llascall what his individual preference wns. llascall stated that ho was in favor of n 100-foot viaduct ilrst , last and nil the time , butit was only a question of ilnnnco. If nil the owners of abutting property would waive damages ho would bo In favor of 100 feet , but if the damages were to bo oiled up ho was In favor of stlx\.y foot. Councilman Uutlcr nrgucd in favor of an SO-foot viaduct , so as to give property owners light nnd air lor their buildings. D. C. Patterson said ito would waive all damages for a sixty-foot and thought ho would for an eighty-foot viaduct. Herman ICountzo stated that 100 foot would bo his preference , but when It came to the question of feasibility ho was In doubt whether the city could afford to build a via duct 100 feet ia width. "But it seems to mo llku n plain business proposition , " said Mr. Kountzc. "If the railroad company will build a depot on condition that wo put , In a viaduct , wo tujht to accept. " C. IA Goodman said If a majority of the pcoplo want a 100-foot viaduct , nnd wo can raise the money , it should bo built. Jlin Stcphcnson thought 100 feet would bo necessary to accommodate the traftlc. Ho honed the plot of a few property.holders to pet hold of a few feet of property by having n narrow viaduct , would bo knocked in the head. The council has no right to give strcnts away for any other purpose. After a little more argument pro and con , the matter was put to a vote. The three propositions weroplit separotuly.aud it was Dually settled as being the sense of the meeting that n report should bo niado in favor of a viaduct eighty feet in "width , and allowing property owners to use the Inter vening tun feet for buildings or for light and ventilation. The proposition decided upon will give a viaduct with n roadway sixty feet la width , the same ns the roadway of Tenth street , with n sidewalk on each side ton feet in width , leaving ten feet on each side of the viaduct as the street now stands. AN IfliroKTAVTOASIi : . A Bill That Will Ho Kllod In tlio United Statcu Court To-day. To-day Hon. J. L. Caldwell , of Lincoln , will lllo a bill in equity in the United States court in the case or the Western Union Tele graph company vs the Union P.icific road. It will bo remembered that some time last spring the Union Pacific announced that under the provisions of an act of congress It proposed to take possession of all telegraph lines along and on its right of way and operate them. Tlio Western Union company remonstrated and applied to Judge Urowor , of the United States circuit court , for an in junction restraining the Union Paciilo from taking passcssion or conflse.Uing.nny lines In use by the former. 1 he matter was fin ally , by mutual consent , referred to the attorney general for a settlement , but appears through some failure on the part of Mr. Garland , to have gotten buck into the courts. Under the provisions of an agreement made in 1803 yeais ago by the Union Pucillo that corporation agreed to maintain nnd op erate a line of telegraph along its right of way and to employ its own operators and ngents , nnd to furnish the government and the public means for the transmission of messages , subject to the control of congress , according to an agreement made , by which the government ceded lands and loaned money to the enterprise. The Union Paoillu , in violation of its contract with the govern ment , granted to the ' Western Union tlio ex clusive right to so'nd all telegrams over its richt of way , thereby giving the latter a monopoly of tbo business and depriving the government of the use of the Hue to which it was and is entitled. Congress put in a protest and by an act approved by President Cleveland in 188S in sisted that the Union PacitUs should adhere to the provisions of the agreement made with the government. The railroad company , fearful of the results which might follow if the mandate of the national executive body were disregarded , at once took steps to annul the contract with the Wcstoru Union , which was made in ISM , wheruupon .the lat ter applied for an injunction in the United States circuit court , Mr. O.ildwoll , who is an attorney of abil ity , Ims been chosen by the government to protect its interests. The hill he will file to day will cite the above mentioned facts and Will ask thai the Union I'ucillu bo compelled to adhere to the provisions of the agreement mmlo and legalized by the senate nnd house of representatives.
