A Fight That Didn't Go.

About seven o'clock Wednesday night there was noticeable an unusual hurry and excitement among the sporting fraternity of the city. By persistent efforts a RKVIEW man finally got the tip that a knock oat prize fight was booked to take place near the junction at 8:30 o'clock and that the secrecy was necessary to avoid police disturbance. Hastening to the Junction we finally located the ring iu the cellar under the old cooper shop near tho Big Four freight depot. Entering we found some 300 persons already in the hole eager for. the fray. In the middle of the room waB found a twenty-four foot ring covered with saw-dust—truly an ideal mill. It was then discovered that the principals to be wero

Friday Clark, who lias already gained seme local notoriety as a "scrapper," aud Mose Bowman, a colored man employed at Alfrey's beading factory, totally unknown to fame but a keen aspirant for pugilistic honors. Tiuie flew rapidly, the hour set tor the fight passed, the crowd grew impatient and yet the men failed to appear. A skirmishing party set out to learn the cause of the delay when it was discovered that the mother of Clark had gotten onto the racket, and instituting a hasty search fcund her boy in a room nearby preparing for the fight. Taking him gently by the hand she lead him home, saying: "It's bad enough to fight white men, but when it comes to fighting "niggers" you should be ashamed of yourself." This was soon reported back to the cellar, and after giving vent t« their usual complaints they returned to town a thoroughly disgusted gang.

AN OLD TIME "MATCU."

In connection with the proposed prize fight which was to have come off on Wednesday night an old resident referred to a glove contest which occurred in Crawfordsville in 1840, and with decidedly unexpected results. The contest he said took place in a blacksmith shop on the west side of Green street directly opposite where Music Hall building now standB, The shep was run by a large muscular (. ood natured individual named Seller. He had in his shop several pairs of boxing gloves, and occasionally when business was not rushing would invite some friend or acquaintance to put on the gloves for a friendly contest. One day he and a man named Mattox put on the gloves for a friendly bout in presence of four or five persons who bad dropped into the shop. On the first round honors were about even. On the second round Seller hit his opponent squarely in the breast and he toppled over dead. The blow had been fatal, and terrible was the consternatiou created iu the little group surroundiug the men. Seller was in a terrible condition, and his expressions over the accident were pitiful iu the extreme. He surrendered hluise.". at once to the authorities, but was acquitted after examination, it being clear that tho unfortunate affair was without malice or evil intention of any kind. Seller was liberated iu a day or so after, but the matter so preyed upon his mind that he never after seemed anxious to be seen around among the people aud aeon left the locality for go~H That put an end to boxing matches tor many years in this locality.

Sleigh Collapses.

A sleighing party of four studeuts of DePauw University had a narrow escape Tuesday night at a point five miles from that city ou the Natioual road. Mr. Win. H. Wise, of Cincinnati had the reius, and was accompanied by Ed. NelT, of Wabash, aud their lady friends Miss Edith Boosa, of Rockport, aud Miss Florence Line, of Richmond. The party encountered another vehicle at a narrow passageway on tho road aud In turnnng out the students' sleigh upset, precipitating them down the einbankineut, the deep snow alone shielding them from iujury. The team ran away and was uot captured until this morniug. The ladies were comfortably quartered at a neighboring farm house, while their gallant but crestfallen attendants footed iu back to town whore they each secured cutters for the returu of their classmates to ihe dormitory.
