crowd of sporting men assembled hero tonight -

Blven under the auspices of the Coney Island
Athletic club. The event of tlm ovenlni !

Joe McGrath , ulmmiilun MO-iiouiul innn ol

two iirellinitinr.V bouts , oneof ten round ;
between Hugh Boyle of Ullnibcth mul Coonli
Sullivan of New York , and another of eigh1
rounds between Hilly Lcodom of Phlladel
phtn und Moffat Flaherty of lUiston. Tin
lights were all of light caliber , and In cense
quunro thereof there was it decidedly slin
nttcndnnec. Many noted sports , however
were present.
The ilrst bout , that between Boyle inn
Sullivan was commenced sharp at 8K : ! ) p. m
After ten rather tame round , In whiel
neither seemed able to put the other out , th
referees awarded the Iwnt. to Sullivan.
It was then announced by Fred Burw
master of coremonioK , thut Jack MeAulilf
was In the ho\iso and wished It announce
that It wns no fault of his that his Ugh

Island Athletic club fell through. Ho wa
ready and willing to light , and sign any art
L'les furnished by the club at 1&I pounds , an
that ho now stood ready to meet any man i
the world at that weight , which is the llgli
weight limit. The Coney Island club ei
ilorsort all Unit McAulilTe had to say.
The second bout of Iho evening that be
twcen Lccdoin and Flaherty , wns the
called. This was a light from start to llnlsl
Flaherty had his opponent groggy and elow
in the ilrst round , but Locdom was sun
elently recovered in the second to do son :
good stiff punching. In the third Klahert
dropped his innn again with a straight let
and then came near losing the light by ma )
ing three fouls. From then until the eight
and last round it was give and take wit
Flaherty's work a ahado to the good. Tl
rofurco awarded Flaherty the contest.

The referee's announcement angered Mur
phy , and for the rest of the round ho ham
mered White at a hot jwico.
From the fourth up to the fifteenth round
th'o fighting was hot and Whlto seemed to
have the Iwtterof It. Murphy got very
angry and seemed to lose his head , while
Wbllo remained cool andMid good execution
on his opponent's neck nnd head.
In the littocnth round Murphy came up In
better shape and bored the right in on
White. The latter ducked Instead of stop
ping blows. He seemed to lae-k steam nnd
Murphy's method of choking him while in
chancery with his elbow seemed to knock
the wind out of him ,
Murphy dropped White In the sixteenth
with a Hitht left in the face. Whlto shrank
from Murphy's leads and his way
of holding his hands while he
took Murphy's swings on the head
led the spectators' to believe White's hands
were gone. Some shrewd ones , however ,
ventured the guess that Whlto was allowing
Murphy to tire' himself out , while sustaining
no severe punishment himself.
Our Wry Lively Itonml.
The seventeenth round wns tame , but the
eighteenth was a hurricane round. Murphy
was doing most of the lighting until White
swung the left on the Jaw , staggering him.
White then ran in utter him and
swung , jabbed and smashed with his left
hand until ho brought the furious New
Xealandcr to a standstill , covered with
blood from thu nose and mouth. The referee
had grout trouble In parting the men , as the
Chicago hnv hastened to llnlMi his opponent.
Tlio nineteenth and twentieth rounds were
slow and neither man did much execution.
Both , however , seemed to bo fresh , but
very wary. In the succeeding seven
rounds , practically no lighting was
done. In the twenty-eighth round the
referee announced that if the flirht was not
finished in four rounds he ? would declare it
no contest. At the end of the thirty-third
round , no hlonsi having been struck , the.
referee declared the contest off.

Niw VOKK , Dec. 23.---There Is u sensa
tionnl rumor going the rounds ot the sport
Ing fraternity of this city to the effect tha
the match between Jack MeAuliffe and Diet
Burgo , for which the Coney Island Athletli
"club recently ottered a < 15,000 purse and sub
scticntly | withdrew it , was to bo a gignntii
fake. The story has created no end of gos
sip here , and is apparently based on soum
facts and figures. The supposition that the
contest was to bo a prearranged affair ii
strengthened by the fact that Judge Newton
ton , the matchmaker of the club , has inti
mated to some persons that ho heard Burgi
was to "lay down" to the American chain
pion , and for these reasons ho refused t
have anything to do with the men.
Newton , when Interviewed this cveniiij
by a reporter , refused to either confirm ei
deny the rumor. lie , however , spoke a
though ho had suspected that somuthln ;
was suspicious about Barge's actions and fo
these reasons alone ho had withdrawn th
purse to save the reputation of the club am
the public from being imposed on.

A careful survey ot the situation rovcals
the fact that Tuesday night's llro was the
most destructive that has visited the city
for n number of years. The loss of property
will not fall much below KXl ) , > 00.
A glance at the charred ruins reveals the
complete destruction which followed in the
wake of the limners. The Orchard building
was completely gutted and the tottering
and unsupported walls are all that remain of
the once handsome structure. The Conti
nental Clothing company's block on the cor-
dcr west Is n wreck of Its former self. Fire
completely destroyed the fourth story , thereof
roof is gone and the third lloor is badly
scorched and water soaked.
The Orchard stock of furniture and car
pets was completely destroyed and not a
vestige saved from the Humus. Thosafe be
longing to the company is burled beneath
the debris , and will not ho recovered for
some timo. The walls are still standing , and
the north nnd east ones will have to come
down , as they are tottering and unsafe.
The Frecland-IXKnnls company's stock ol
clothing occupying the Fifteenth street cor
ner of the block , was badly damaged bj
smoke and water , and the extent of the loss
cannot bo fully determined at present. A
portion ot the stock was removed and car
rled to a vacant store room on the opposite
side of Fifteenth street.
Those who suffered by reason of the fin
are busily engaged in the attempt to deter
mine the exact extent of their losses. It wit
bo some days before a eeirrcet statement cm
bo given. It was expected that Jnmcs II
Byors , the owner of the destroyed Continen
till block , would arrive in the city last eve
ning. Mr. Byors resides at Leavenworth
Ivan. , and was immediately informed of tin
destruction of his property. Ho was unnbli
to come to Omaha yesterday , owing to ill
ness , but will probably arrive today. . Unti
Mr. Byers puts in appearance nothing delln
ito will be done with the burned structure.
TlioiisnniU VUltrd I hiScrnr ,
Thousands of people visited the scene o
the llro yesterday , and all day Douglas am
Fifteenth streets , opposite the destroyci
block , were lllled by crowds viewing tin
scene of destruction. When daylight peepee
over tlio eastern hori/xm it shed itself upoi
a sight interesting tostmly. The front wal
of the portion of the block occupied by tin
Orchard company stood out as a blackenei
monster from the unknown realms , the open
jugs where the windows formerly wore serv
ing as an awe inspircr to the vision , and th
great mass ot frozen water , turned a dul
yellow by the heat and smoke , clustered ti
the walls in all manner of- form and shape
The meshes of wires in front of the buildini
were a mass of ice and pretty to behold
The corner portion of the block looked nior
damaged. The roof had disappeared an
through the fourth story windows u view o
the clouded sky was had. The clock towe
oil the corner was destroyed and only a poi
tion of the dial remained. The entire cornc
was covered with a sheet of ice , and th
thousands of frost-covered wires helped t
make the scene not unlike a look int
fairyland. A rope was stretched aroun
the ruins and police ofllocrs patrolled tli
streets during the day and night , keeping u
a distance the crowds of pcoplo. It wi ;
dangerous to lifo to venture near the totte
ing walls , as they were liable to go down i
any time.
Origin of the lllnzc a Mj'ttpry.
The origin of the lire remains a myster ,
The supposition is that it was caused by
combustion of chemicals , and that the el
vntor shaft was responsible for the rapidil
of its spreading to all portions of tlio bull
ing.
. The firemen on the big ladder who we :
lighting the Humes on the roof were wor
ing to a great disadvantage. The flunn
fairly licked their persons and their fao
and bands were blistered , while the wat
that fell upon them was quickly evaporate
by the intense heat.
The great truck , which had been station !
on the west side of the build ingwas a ma
of ice and it required llfty men to move
from its place where tho'wator had frozi
about it und fastened with the tightness
a vise the apparatus to the ground.
It is n matter of conjecture what the resv
would have been hail the wat
tower purchased by the city soi
time ago been on hand. Accordii
to tlio expressions of the mayor ai
members of the lire and police coinmisssi
it would have paid for itself several times
the way of reducing the loss by mm
thousands of dollars. It would have cnabli
the department to have successfully mot t'
flro at the top of the lire-wall , and won
probably have saved the entire west half
the building , while it would certainly ha
had its effect on tlio blaze in the Orchil
part of the structure. The tower was

at the latest , but it is now stated that
will not bo hero before the 10th of Januai
The Orchard company occupied a port !
of the fourth iloorofthoContinental proper
as a workshop , for the repair and setting-
of furniture , and It was connect
with their own building by a doi
way cut through the lire wall , and closed
an iron door. The llro wall between t
buildings was all that saved the property
the corner , as without it the entire structt
would have been doomed. Lines of lit
wcro run up the stairways , and at this ir
door a bold stand was made. It was jbi
that Truckman Tobin of Truck . who u
working at the front next to the do <
sustained some severe burns when soi
inllammable substance on the tout
lloor of the Orchard bulldi
exploded. The explosion puffed c
Iho llames in all directions , and Tobin , w
was just through the doorway had his f ;
badly M-orcbed and blistered. The in
worn holding their own fairly well at tl
point , when the lire was communicated
the roof ittxivo them over the top of the II
wall , and began working its way down uj
them and foivlng them back.
The fact that the llro had to work its \ \
down was what enabled the llromen to gel
under control , as they were able to et at
something that they could not ao on l
other side of that wall.

n- Yesterday morning.I. F. Tilly , the city
ir- spcctor of buildings , visited the scene of
ir3d lire , and after investigation reached a e
3dM elusion as to what ue'tion ho considered 1
M to tako. Ho decided that the rear wall

3d down , Tho-saino opinion was passed : u
us that portion of the east wall , which oxte
ill from the alloy to the two-story part of

ip- used In ehullding The walls of Tlio Co

lid damaged. Ho denied that the tire pas
re from the Orchard store to the Contlnei

ill buildings und declares that It went
through the former and down through

The only people showing any ncti1

The license lion til met lait night to hear
protests against William Krug , who ap
plied for permission to sell liquor nt UTO'.i '
l eavenworth stivet. A half do/en resident ! *
di'dared thcmse'lves as against the granting
of n license to any' saleioii in that locality.
The witnesses had no personal feeling
against the nppHcant , but objected to liquor
being sold out that way by any ono. This
ease will bo looked into and declde'd later.
In the case1 of Frank Uetclimark and
August Grube , applicants for n liccnso Hour
Foft Omaha , the prntestnnU , Genornl
Brooke , commamlor of the Ueparlmonl of
the Platte. and Colonel Bales , commandant
of the post , failed to show up : Instead Lieu
tenant Wright , adjutant of the Second In
fantry was soul down. Mr. Wright told of
the objections of his superior ofllcers to
saloons being npcniloel near the gate.s of
the fort and personally thought that
tlm location of liquor houses out that
way tended to demoralize the troops.
Upon being questioned Mr. Wrlcht salel that
the Indian soldiers , some llfty-two in mini-
icr , obtained whisky at those places and
lion returned to the post ' lighting tlrnnk. "
Mr. Cobuni wanted to know what was the
difference between selling liquor inside the
> est and Just out of the limits of the reser-
ation.
"Tho Indian soldiers , " s.iid Commisslo net
Coburii , "are permitted to purchase beei
nnd light wines at the post e-antecn. which is
ipemted under the rule's of tlio War depart-
inent.nnd I can't see why the military author ! '
, ies should eibject to our granting licenses
o applicants who live and own property out
that way. Besides , there arc at least llft.\
children from the forfwho attend our public
schools , and never pay a cent toward the
support of these institutions. These mill
tnry olllcers are hero today and there to
morrow , and they elon't contribute ; a ccnl
ownrd the support of our city institutions
why , then , should they come here and asV
this board to refuse He-discs to people wlic
'ivo outside of Iho ttovernniont reservation ! '
Lieutenant Wright was not one of the pro
tostnnts and consequently was not detainee'
nr questioned at length.

The Ilrst charge against th
applicant was that ho had failed to compl ;
with the resolution of the board regardin ;

liquors to minors and others on Sunday.
The attorneys for the defense were willhi ;
to meet the Ilrst charge , but the scconel wa
a little too much for them. Mr. Kosownto
wanted the case to go on and bo tried on tb

Then the representative of the Work

the board should determine the circulatin
of the papers by competent witnesses an
not by u lot of affidavits. But tbo e-ommi ;
sioncrs continued to listen to Mr. Simr-ral.
Mr. N. P. Foil , business manager of Tn

Several questions not pertaining to tli

Frit/ Miller , the applle-ant , was put on tl
