A BIG CUT IN THE GRADING BILL , The llalnnce Due Ityitii At Walsh Fixed nt $ 17,1)51.57 Another and Stormy Session of the. Commissioners. Appropriation sheet No. M of the general /und came up before the county commission ers yesterday afternoon on second reading. On this sheet were the names of John Cor coran $2 , Sam Chambers f'3 , nnd John Gor man ? 1 , for witness fees in the Investigation of Mount & Grlnin's coal bill. Mr. Berlin moved that thcso three names be stricken from the list. No second being received , the chairman called Mr. Turner to the chair nnd seconded the motion In order to bring the matter before the board. Mr. O'Keeffo objected to this and moved to amend by putting the street on Its passage ns read , Mr. Berlin said the attendance of these witnesses had not been requested by the board , mid , while the amount involved was small , It would bo establishing a bad prece dent The witnesses on the other side of the case had not been paid by the board , but If these bills were allowed these other witnesses could bring In their bills also. Mr , O'Keeffo took the floor mid reiterated his oft-reiKated statement that the board was continually doing things which It had no right to do. Mr , Anderson said the county attorney had said these claims were illegal and the hoard had no right to pay their bills. Messrs. O'Kcoffe and Anderson had n warm little spat over the records of the board. The latter said the records of the board in the years past were silent as the grave on the amounts paid out on the hospital contract. Things waxed very warm and the air was sulphurous for a few minutes , as these two old war horses raked up the records of the past and accused one another of u variety of crookedness. Pence finally settled down on the scene and Mr , O'KeelTe's amendment , to put the appro priation sheet on its passage as read , was called for. Mr. Turner became hopelessly entangled In parliamentary rules and called for advice on all sides. Ho finally decided that lie would put the amendment first and It was carried. The question was called for as amended , but the quondam chairman said ho "didn't see no use votin' on the sumo thing ugin. " Mutters were finally straightened out and tuo nppropriatloii sheet was earricd as orig inally read. The county clerk requested permission to employ seven extra clerks to make up the tax list for 18)0. ! ) These books must bo prepared for the treasurer by October 1 and the clerk stated that the work was fully one-third moro this year than last. On motion of Mr. Corri- gun the request was granted. Peter Martin kicked against paying tax on three dogs , and swore tlmt ho liud never owned n dog in his life. The finance com mittee will wrestle with the dog question. The contract with Eli Johnson lor ruiinini ; n county gmder was signed and the bond approved. The county engineer submitted u profile of Lciivcnworth street us directed by the board last Monday , showing the amount of dirt to bo moved in grading that street cast of the Lcavcnworth street park. On motion of Mr. O'Keeffo the matter wns referred to the city engineer with n request to establish the grade of this street so that si change would not bo likely to bo In u year or BO , Mr. O'Keeffo remarked tlmt the county might pay the city's share of the cost of gVuding , but ho wanted the matter fixed so tlmt the grade could not be changed. The bills of the three assistant county at torneys for Muy were presented und referred to the finance committee. A report of the committee on bridgcs.wliich was adopted , recommended that thu contract Tor constructing the sewer on Q streetwest of South Omalm , bo awarded to E. .1. Brennun. The finance committee- reported in favor of reducing the coroner's bill for April by strik ing out W for swearing witnesses. The re port was ndopted. The bill for May wus al lowed in full , hiivlng no such item. The bills of Drs. Kosewutcr and Baldwin for post-mortem examinations were allowed to the extent of $ . ' . " > each. Thu report of the finance committee on the insurance on the hospital building was adopted , giving each of the following ngcnts insurance to the amount of FJ,000 at the rate of $18 per § 1,000 for llvo yearsV. : .

The contract between tlio board nnd E. .T. Brcnnnn for constructing tlio sewer in Q street west of South Omaha ut § 7.83 per linear foot wns ordered signed. The board then took a recess to innito up the report on the hospital. The committee on construction was called to order by Chairman O'KcefCe , who pre sented u statement ho hud prepared , finding the amount due the contractors to bo $17- OM.fiT. This amount wus figured as follows : Amount of general contract $1SO,0'CI 00 KMrns ( allowed ) 7.8.U KJ Urudln and excavation ID , ' . ' ? ! 10 Total fU'.ino Itt 1'ald on general contract $101,185 40 " " extras , 3.438 wi " for grading and uxcuvutlng 10,231 10 Total miS')5 ' ) 2.- . llulniicodno $ sj , ! > 7i 07 Of this amount bo stated that the con tractors hud been allowed $1PU81.10 , ut the rate of JB cents per yard for grading , which amount ho claimed should have been only " . " cents per yard , milking $5t'i0.10 : which had been overpaid on the item of $ IO'JS1.10 for grading. Deducting this , there remained $17,051,57 still duo the contractors. As soon as this report was rend Mr. Ander son read n long history of the records of the commissioners bearing upon the famous grading vouchers , showing each voucher which hnd been paid the contractors , by whom signed , and for what purpose drawn. During the reading of this statement Messrs. Turner und O'KeelTo kept up u running lire of sarcastic remarks bearing upon the question. Mr , Anderson claimed that the contractors had been paid & 0SO. : > ri for grading up to 18S8 , while un estimate purported to show thnt they hud only received * llll ! > 7.7il. Ho diluted upon this for over nn hour , during which the entire listing of tho. hospital wus vuked over , The last grand Jury and various other things eunin in for consideration. Mr. Berlin wanted to know if there was u contract for grading ut - , " > cents. Mr. O'Keeffo said ho hud nlwnvs claimed there wus , but when Air. Anderson demanded the contract , O'Keeffo ungrllv demanded to know whore n hundred other contracts wore of which there was no record. Ho said ho hud always claimed the contractors should only have hud ' - . ' . " > cents for grading , but the other two commissioners on thu old board had ulways claimed they were entitled to ! tt cenls l > er yurd , but the court wus the only body which could settle the matter , Mr , Berlin requested to bo Ijiformed us to some of thu details In the juutter , but Mr. O'lCeellu lost his temper and expressed him self In very lurid language. Anderson und Turner then hud u long wrangle , going over nil the ground uguln. Turner $ uld ho didn't propose to nssuino any responsibility for whut hud been done before ho became u member of the boaul. The question was finally brought around to the report presented by Mr. O'Keofe. Messrs , Corrlgau and Tumor signed the re port , but Air , Anderson moved to amend by allowing the contractors $ 'ITOS.57. At this point It wus discovered that the ro- jtort of Superintendent Coots hud never been before the board , and the committee arose to ronstder tub report. Ttao rcngrt , was taken 0 up nnd referred to the committee on con struction , and the board adjourned to give the committee time to make its report , The committee was called to order nnd n recess taken at Mr. Anderson's request to idlow him to present n minority report. CT After waiting nearly two hours Mr. Ander son appeared with his reitort. Ho objected to Mr. Coots' report being ac cepted , as ho had notcertllled that the buildIng - Ing was completed according to plans and specifications , mid niiidon motion to ttiat ef fect , which was lost. Mr. Anderson then proceeded to rend n very voluminous ivpoit , covering about tlf- < een pages of legal cap. It went Into all the details of the history of the hospital ns re viewed by him before , winding up by reciting that , according to the records , the contract ors had received a total of ? 1 ! IH , ! > .V.W on ac count of the hospital , and as the contract that all claims of sub-contractors bo rejected. Ho moved that this report bo made the report of the committee on construction. The mo tion was lost. The committee then rose nnd Mr. OlCeeffc's ' report , signed by himself , Corrlgan nnd Turner , was presented to the board. Mr. Anderson called Turner to the chair and presented his report , wading through the entire thing again , while the other mem bers looked longingly nt the door. Ho then moved that his report bo substituted for that of the majority of the committee. The motion to substitute was lost , Anderson and Berlin voting for it. Anderson took the chair nnd Mr. O'Kccffe moved the adoption of the majority report. Mr. Uorlin moved to amend the report by Allowing the contractors $10,071.07 on condi tion that bond bo given covering the estimate of about * 7,000 which is alloat and cannot bo found. This amount was arrived at by allow ing the contractors 1 % cents per yard for the grading. Mr. O'Keeffo opposed this , saying that the kind of grading Hynn & Walsh mid done was entirely different from that done by Jensen , who used a machine , while Hynn & Walsh had to haul the dirt a long distance nnd had to load the dirt with shovels from corners , etc. etc.Mr. . Berlin defended his course nnd bold that the amount ho proposed was a fair and reasonable allowance. Mr. Turner was again made chairman and Mr. Anderson took the Hoor. He charged that a Job was on foot to 11 x up the thing so that the contractors would be let down easy nnd the matter kept out of court. Mr. Berlin's amendment was called for and was lost , Messrs. Berlin nnd Anderson voting for it and the other members against it. ' The majority report was called for and carried , Corrigan , Turner and O'Kccffo voting ing for it and Anderson and Berlin , against it. The board then adjourned , after a continu ous session of seven hours , until next Satur day at" o'clock. CONSIDERING IJ1UCIC. Hoard of Public Works to Kxpcriincnt to Secure the Host. The board of public worksnt its meeting yes terday afternoon , considered the question of the kind of brick to bo used this year In paving. The contracts for tills work call for Galesburg - burg brick , or brick equally as good. The board will decide what particular paving brick sludl be allowed under tbo latter part of this clause. Mr. Kierstead expressed himself in favor of patronizing homo brick makers provided a brick could bo furnished which would wear as well , or nearly so well as the Gales burg. In order to determine this point , a number of the various makes of brick will Do placed in 11 largo revolving cylinder and tumbled about promiscuously. The brick which comes out of this test with the minimum amount of " " will bo decided other "chipping" on , qualities being equal. Mr. Kierstead reported that ho had exam ined the North Omaha sewer and found that a crack had been made along the top between Eleventh and Twelfth streets , which could bo repaired at an expense of about SIOO. Major Furay Introduced n resolutionwhich was adopted , calling for samples of paving brick , to be submitted to the board by noon oil the 14th inst for inspection and trial by the board. The city engineer was directed to ask the council for authority to repair the North Omaha sewer. THE TIlEATJEMtS. "Chris nnd Lena" is the attraction at the Grand opera house this evening. Largo crowds of satisfied play-goers have witnessed its production by that favorite dialect come dian , Pete Baker , in every country on tno glebe where the English language 's spoken. This attraction tins not only been pleasingly reconstructed by the talented actor himself , but the cast has been wonderfully strength ened by well known talent , including such successful people as Josie Sisson , who did moat pleasing work as the star in the "Littlo NugRets" company , nnd John Shceban , who has had great success in the delineation of Irish character. Pete Baker , however , is the central llgnro in the play. His German dialect is perfection , his dancing graceful , and his actin ? artisdo from the most critical point of view. Tno prevailing comedy of the play is smoothly hinged on n serious plot that brings out several exciting situations and thrilling climaxes. The play is replete with a grand harmonious blending of pretty songs , witty sayings and comical situations , and is bright with' the sunshine of music. It is handsomely staged nnd dressed , and will-be warmly welcomed at the Grand toniirht by all old friends and many new ones. The box ofllco will bo open after 10 o'clock this morn ing lor the side of reserved seats. Mr , E , II. Sothcrn will appear at the Boyd on Juno Si , 'J-l and ' , ' 5 in his greatest creation "Lord Chumley. " One can well understand why Mr. Sothcrn made an imme diate success of the piny in the cast , consid ering how near his performance of "Lord Chumloy" approaches that of his father's "Lord Dundreary. " The elder Sothcrri was inimitable la the character ho created and made famous throughout the English speak ing world , and it is but natural to suppose that the gifts of the father transcended to the son. Mr. Sothcrn will also appear in "The Highest Bidder" during his Omaha engage ment. On the last three nights of the same week the "Shennndonh " Broiison ' comes , Howard's great war play. It will bo performed by the original New York company , which includes Mr. Henry Miller. Immediately after the Omaha engagement the company disbands , two or three of the principals going to Lon don , England , to appear in the production in that city. For the coming week nt the Eden musco Manager Lnwler has arranged nn excep tionally good show. No one but Mr. Lawler would think of finding a handsome fat woman , but the popular manager of the musco has scored this triumph. Mrs. E. M. Fenuimoro is a beauty from Belolt , Kan. , and she weighs 001 pounds. Mrs. Fennlmoro will bo at the musco for ono week. Among other interesting attractions arc : Churl 10 Diamond , harp soloist and song and dance artist ; E > ncr- hon & Mliburn In ballads and bone solo ; .loo Black , thu legless dancer ; John nnd Annlo Whiting In a great musical turn , and the Hamilton Comedy company in some of Its best productions. EVLTV department will present exceptionally good features , mid the entire .show will bo what Mr. Lawlor intciub to make all lib entertainments Ilrst class in every respect. "Judgo'I Cooley and company will hold their linal rehearsal of "Hamlet" this after noon. The costumes specially ordered for the production arrived yesterday from Chicago cage , and s.urpass In inagniliccnce and cor rectness of detail anything ever seen on the Omaha boards. Ophelia's dress is a poem , and the kind's raiment is royal from crown to ' sanda's. ' The play will 'bo magnificently staged , six'chd scmiery and properties having been ordered for It. Cooley proved his familiarity with thu lines last evening by challenging anybody to open his book at random , giving him a cue and accepting a forfeit If ho failed to catch it. Ho has ar rived ut letter-perfection of the part , and Is said to act almost as correctly as ho reads. The sale of reserved seats will bo continued tomorrow. Permit * .

The gentlemen who compose the committee having In chnrga the Investigation of Oma ha's resourced for entertaining the next general conference of the Methodist Episco pal church met the local committee of seven nnd members of the committee of ono hun dred in the new club room of the Paxton last evening. Among the Omuhuus present were Bishop Newman , II. T. Clarke , Max Meyer , General Lowe , Clark Woodman , J. L. Mc- Cnguc , Mr. Uoblnson , C. F. Wellnr , Colonel Scott , Samuel Burns , Hov. C. W. Snvldgc , Hev. J. E. Ensign , A. T. Hector nnd others. In the absence of General ( Jowln , chairman of the committee of seven , Bishop Newman nominated II. T. Clarke as chairman of the meeting. Upon taking the chair Mr. C-lnrito said : "These gentlemen by whom wo have been called upon to meet tonight , have been appointed a commission to Investigate whether this city can entertain the next general con ference of the Methodist Episcopal church. The Inst general conference designated this city ns the place for holding the coforcncc , nnd seven brethren of this city were appointed at n local meet ing to sec what could bo done In the way or transportation nnd entertainment of delegates. Two years from now the way to obtain iissistunt'crfrom the railroads would bo more clear than It is now. The otllcers cannot pledge themselves so far ahead , as , while they are connected with certain rail roads today , they may bo connected with others tomorrow. When the time comes there is no doubt but that wo will receive ample accommodations from them. , luspenk- ing with the bankers of the city I llnd that they are particularly Inclined to bo liberal towards us , mid so are the mercantile houses and all busi ness men of the city. I do not think it advis able to begin active work yet among thcso gentlemen , but I speak the sentiment of Omaha when I say we are well able to take care of these people and that wo can make It to your interest us well as ours to meet here. Wo will take you in nnd care for you und from what you have seen today I nm sure that you nro satlsllcd that we can fulfill anv prom ises we make. " a Mr. Chirk Woodman stated that ho had talked with a number of railroad oflleinls , and. while they were not willing to iiuiko any pledges so far ahead , he was assured from what they said that when the proper time came liberal rates would be offered. Ho was certain that all denominations of 'Church people ple in Omnlia would take pleasure in enter taining the delcgacts .and visitors to the con ference. Mr. Max Meyer was called upon by the chairman. Omaha , he said , had never done anything by halves yet , and never would. There had never been a single body assem bled hero and there had been some largo ones but that had been well entertained und whose members had gone away well satisfied. In Omaha , he said , it was not necessary to begin preparatory work in a matter of this kind two years in advance. Thirty days would bo sufficient in this rushing western city , and when the guests of the city _ left they would go with a desire to come again. J. L. McCague suid that there could bo no question of Omaha's ability to entertain the conference. Her present hotel und hull facil ities were in themselves sufllcicntly commo dious , but if there were any possibility of a doubt as to this , other halls nnd other hotels were to be built in the immediate future , nnd would bo completed before the meeting of the conference. Mr. Robinson spoke to the same effect. Mr. C. F. Weller was certain that if the conference should meet here its members would bo handsomely entertained. There was but one sentiment among the citizens , and that was to entertain the conference and entertain it royally. Colonel Scott suid that his father nnd mother belonged to the Presbyterian church , but that he hud a warm plnco in his heart for the Methodists. "I have been told , " said he , "that fciO.OOO was required. Was that nil. If it were $300,000 we would raise it. Omaha is no five-cent place , gentlemen. In old England they build u foundation and then give it two years to settle before building the superstructure. In Omaha wo build the superstructure first and then the foundation. " 1 will promise you one tiling , brethren , if you comeliero ; wo will give you the finest yellow-legged chickens in in the world. " Samuel Burns nnd Rev. Mr. Savldgesrc- iteratcd that Omaha would _ not be remiss in entertaining the conference. A. I1. Hector said that one man had raised ? 1.000 for the Brndslmw sufferers in a few minutes , and , taking that for a criterion , it would not require much time to raise ! 0,000 for the conference. Colonel Finley spoke of the growth and achievements of Omaha. Omaha had enter tained the Presbyterian conference and could that of the Methodist brethren. Ho was willing to bo one of 00 to pledge $100 each to make up the S0,000 ! said to be required. Mr. Dale said thnt from his talks with busi ness men ho was assured that there need be no difficulty in the matter of funds. The gentlemen forming the commission' , by request , then spoke briefly. They all com plimented the city highly and the enterprise of its citizens. From what tney said there seemingly was but one obstacle to the con ference coming here , and that was the qMcs- tion of a suitable building for Holding the meetings. Mr. Hobbs said that ho wanted to make a correction. Tin : Bun had stated that Chicago was after the conference. This was not true. Chicago had it once nnd was will ing for some other city to entertain it now. He spoke of Omaha's elegantly paved streets , her admirable system of street transit , her business blocks and electric lights. Ho would bo glad to bring hero pcoplo from the east who had never seen the west and who would bo glad to see it , and then , ho said , the Methodist church was u church of temperance and might do something towards doing away with those vipers ho hail seen in too many of Omaha's handsome blocks the saloon. Mr. Shlnkler of Covington , Ky. , spoke of the practical necessities of a conference nnd questioned whether Omaha had a suitable building for its accommodation , lie had heard , ho didn't Know how exactly , that Omaha was not possessed of sufficient accommoda tions for the conference , that was why the commission had been appointed. It was to investigate soon into Omaha's facilities in order that if it should bo found that she was unable to take care of the delegates another place might be selected. Ho was sure that the pcoplo of Omaha were a liberal people nnd ho didn't know why the action of the general conference in nominating Omaha for the place for holding the next con ference should not bo carried out , but for ono tiling. Where could its meetings beheld hold ! The Coliseum wouldn't do , It was too" far out , and , speaking entirely for himself , ho considered it in no wise suitable. He liked Omaha mid respected her power and zeal. Mr. Magee said that It had been stated that Boston objected to Omaha und ho wanted to refute this statement as it was not true. Dr. Palmer spoke eloquently of the natural beauties that surrounded Omaha. As for himself ho came from Gotham , n villuiro too small to build u monument to General Grant ; a village which had surrendered to Chicago tbo world's fair , and whoso own Depow had lifted his silver volco ut the dedication of Chicago's auditorium. There should bo no more section alism ; no more north und south ; no more great west ; no more proud east. He was glad to come Into the west. The western people were u great people und were going to aid in building a monument to Grant on the banks of the Hudson. His body had been laid there by his wish "New York , because the people of thnt city befriended me. " lie hud said , It was not for any local body to build that monument. In conclusion ho thanked the com mil too for the entertainment it hud afforded and expressed n hope that matters would bo so arranged that ho could meet tlio pcoplo of Omaha again in IblKI. J. B. Maxtleld , the local member of the committee said ho was certain that Omaha could entertain the conference. Max Meyer asked permission to state thnt the Coliseum was not the only largo building In Omaha. The Grand opera house was wen larger und there was ample room for com mittees. And then u new opera house waste to bo built by October I of next year. Tlio bishop thanked the committee of seven for the work it had done , nnd the meeting then adjourned , alter which thdro was an in formal reception of the visitors. The commission will visit the Grand opera boiibo Monday morning und muke their do- cikiou possibly later in the day. They wore reticent lost night , but from what they did say It was evident that the question of a lullding of bufllcxul capacity /or the meet was the only obstacle In the way of Omaha having the conference.

' A largo meeting of property owners on Lenvcnworth street west of Park nvenuo and on adjoining streets was held at the corner of Park avenue nnd Lcavcnworth street last night to consider tlio proposed boulevard and the viaduct on Lcaveuworth streot. The meeting orgnni/.cd by electing H. C. Patter son chairman and ( ! . M. Cooper secretary. The property owners were unanimously In favor of both projects nnd nearly every one present had something to say about the mat ter. It was the general opinion that property owners on the street would donate fifty feet on each side for the purpose of making a boulevard IfiO feet wide. A committee , consisting of J. T. Bell , Col onel C. S. Chase nnd J.V. . Griffith , was ap pointed to draft a series of resolutions to bo presented to the meeting. The committee retired nnd presented the following : " Whereas , The eltj of Omnlia Is now entering upon an extensive system of Improvements In llii < way of parks nncl houlovards , wu deem It of Iho ulmo-,1 linpoi tuni'C that ( lie demands of tlio future bliould bu kept steadily in view ; therefore , lEo mlvrd , Thai wi > urpn upon the park com missioners the necessity of widening West Ijcavcmrnrlh street Into a boulevard of at least ono hundred und Hfty ( I.IH ) feet from thu Missouri I'aclllc cro.-slnj : to Ihu now park.

The report was adopted and a committee was appointed to consult with the park com missioners , county commissioners and city council to present the matter to them and urge the construction of a boulevard'along West Lcavcnworth street. The chair ap pointed as the committee , Leo Hurlburt , II. B. Wiley , Leopold Doll , Dexter L. Thomas , George Squires , R. C. Patterson and Hugh McCaffrey.

Lum hud Just arrived from Denver and Friday night was at the army meeting. At the trial in the police court lie stated that at the conclusion of the services the captain asked if any brother was in need of u place to sleep. Lum needed such a place , und so stated , after which ho was taken in tow by a private and led to the corner of Eighteenth and Howard streets , where ho was lodged hi a barn. The man was released , and to help him on ills way the Judge and Captain Mostyn each contributed 23 cents. A BLOODY Pit IK 13 FIGHT. Tim O'JIprii ami Harney Taylor Hat tie at South Oiiiahn. The hardest and bloodiest prize fight that has taken plnco in tlio vicinity of Omaha for a number of years took place at Gcrmania hall , South Omnlia , last night between Tim O'llern of Chicago nnd Barney Taylor of .South Omaha. The men entered the ring ut 10:30 : sharp , O'Hcrn stripping at UO pounds and Taylor at 100. The light was with four ounce gloves to u finish for u purse of $100 and the gate. Ed Hothery and Paddy Murphy were behind O'Hcrn ' , while Taylor was esquired by Pete Boyle nnd Tim Flynii. Pat Butler held the watch for Taylor and Jimmy O'Donncll for O'Hcrn. After the usual wrangle Dan Paul was agreed upon as referee and the men ordered to shake hands. "Timo ! " called Paul , nnd the two giants faced each other , O'Hern , who showed a magnificent physique , towering u full head taller than Taylor. The men sparred cau tiously fora minute , ns if measuring each other's strength. O'Hern ' then assumed the the aggressive , und forcing Taylor back into his corner , nuulo n lurci ) for his wind with his loft , und catching him hard , knocked him against the ropes. Taylor came back like u cyclone , only to get it biff , bung in the Jaw and neck with vigor that caused him to see several million , ttturs. He was very groggy and another , punch would have sent him out , but the calj of time saved him. Taylor came up frdslj in the second , as if yearning for more. IJo did not delay , but rushed In nnd planted J ) good oneonO'Hern's neck and another iu 'tlio short rlbj. But O'Hern was like'i ( Stone wall , nnd cutting loose ho landed Mi' ' ' with on , Taylor's Jaw an emphasis tlmt sent him with n dull thud to the resin. First knock down for O'Hcrn. In the third roundlhcre was little monkey ing. O'Hern was urttlbus for a knock out. Fiddling Taylor baok.hito his own corner , lie feinted warily withbiH loft , then sent In his right , with awful fore , splitting Taylor's ' cheek nnd drawing tie | , blood in u torrent. First blood forO'Hej'n , but not satisfied with this ho kept up his hurricane tactics and landed u half dozen good licks on Taylor's Jaw and nose. In the outset of the fourth round O'llorn savagely upper cut Barney , producing another bucketful of goro. Then the men clinched , and in thu close lighting Tim had much the best of it. They wore separated by the referee , and almost Instantly Taylor landed heavily on the Chicago man's jaw. This ho repeated twice , finally getting homo u necker that sent O'Hern to the boards. Ho was quickly on his pins , however , and rushing in it was hammer and tongs until time was called. Taylor emerged from this round u hideous spectacle , indeed. His nose was swollen to.twlco Its normal size , his cheek split open und his right eye closed , while his body was ono mncur of blood. Bath men caniujuji smiling like a June morning for thg fifth. A quick exchange of sharp blows ensued , thuu the men fell back an 1 the round was consume J in H play for wind. Iu the sixth O'Her lca. oft wlthhb right but failed tj laud , Taylor esuntenng bin hard In the Jaw. IIo took advantage of the Chicago boy's surprise , and pasted him two moreIn quick succession In the mouth nnd neck , the latter knocking him to his knees. The seventh opened with a clinch , then , breaking , Taylor , who seemed the HtroiiRGi of the two , forced matters nnd rained n storm of blows ngaiustO'Horns' ribs , finally knockIng - Ing his man down. This was Taylor's besl round. But as .strange nn It may appear the South Omaha man was not In the next. O'llern hit him hard nnd often , One blow laying tin gashed cheek open afresh , nml another almost scaling his only re maining optic. A hard knock-down from O'Hcru's right ended the round. Again In the ninth O'Hern forced the lightIng - Ing , Jabbing Taylor repeatedly with his l ft , mid smashing him In the ribs with his right until It looked like n knock-out. But tlio South Oiimhog was gnino and he took his gruel ns if ho had beei ) brought up on It. When Taylor come up In the tenth both eyes were about closed and his face und chest were swathed Iu blood. But lie wasn't out yet by n long ways nnd rushing in ho dealt O'llcm ' u reminder of this fact tlmt made his teeth rattle. O'Hern recovered and drove his right against Tim's frontispiece with such vehemence that Tim went down like n log. Ho was up though , not exactly like neat , but up nil the same , nnd rushing blindly at the Windy City representative ho administered n sockdolager that sent him against ono of the posts us If he had been hit with nn ax. The eleventh round was all O'Hcru's. Ho had Taylor groggy and blind all through it , and tilt him at will. The twelfth was a repetition of tlio pre ceding round , save at Its close Taylor gave about as good as he received. The thirteenth was opened by n straight right-hander from Taylor on the side of O'llorn's head , but the Chicago man got back with interest , punching Tayloi in his sore eyes and bleeding mouth in n style that was sickening to behold. In the fourteenth Taylor again took the in itiative and catching O'Hcrn with a swinging right in tlio Jaw , had him groggy , and the next Instant sent hi in down with a hard body blow. O'Hern arose quickly and , obeying nn admonition of his second , went after Taylor like n house u-llro , but the calling of time put n check to ills good intentions. Ho continued this determined onslaught In the fifteenth and landed loft nnd right in tlio neck on the jaw and ribs at will. Taylor was nearly gone , when time again saved him. "Put on the kibosh I" called O'llern's second end , ns ho anadiS for his man in the sixteenth , and this he would have done without a doubt , for his first smash scut Taylor sprawling on Ills back , and when ho nroso like u drunken man , it was clear the end was near. Again O'Hern smashed the bleeding , trembling , staggering man , and ho whirled like n top , then he took another In the ribs , and was fast succumbing to tlio terrible onslaught , when Chief of Police Muloney jumped through the ropes nnd stopped the light. A scene of wild confusion followed , but the referee knew his business , and mounting a chair he said , "Gentlemen , this light is u draw. " And the crowd scrambled from the hall , some of them satisfied with the result , but the majority very sore on Chief Mnloney bc- cauge ho shut the affair olT before O'llern could have gotten in one more blow , which would have undoubtedly put the gory Taylor to sleep.

A sneak thief came within an ace of mak ing a rich huul at the Union depot last evening. R. B. Price , a traveling salesman repre senting Boyd & Co. , diamond brokers of Chicago cage , had been in tlio city most of the day selling goods for his house , und at 9 o'clock went to the depot for the purpose of taking nn cast bound train for Des Moines. His samples , which consisted of diamonds nnd other precious stones , of the value of $10,000 , were carried in n small leather grip. Walking into the waiting room , Price placed his grip on the shelf in front of the ticket oflico window and was in the net of reaching into his pocket for his purse , when a neatly dressed man stepped up behind him and In an instant had grabbed the grip con taining the valuables and was out of the door. Price discovered his loss just as the man was passing out of tlio door , und in un instant was in hot pursuit , screaming "Stop , thief , " at the top of his voice. Tlio cry was taken up by the loungers about the station , and a mo ment later fifty men were following the man , \vho was fleeing down the tracks toward the river. Casting a glance over bis shoulder the thief saw his pursuers were gaining upon him , und dropping the valise , ho darted between some freight euro and escaped , while the crowd gathered around the valise , all seeming afraid to touch it , until the arrival of Officer Foley , who secured the gems nnd turned them over to their owner. During the time the thief was making his flight , two men were observed standing at the cast end of the depot platform , and as they were quiet and uninterested spectators , apparently , it is believed they were accom plices , and that the thief was attempting to reach them nt the time ho dropped tlio valise.
