The contest was to last ten rounds provided neither were knocked out in that time. Four ounce gloves were used and Queensberry rules governed. They appeared on the stage shortly after SI o'clock and were applauded by a large and expectant audience. Daily and Wilson secouded Corey and Demerly and Ward stood behind PittB. Hamil, of Fort Wayne, was chosen referee.
First round—Pitts led and lauded several times on Corey's face and body, but at the close honors were about even but both men badly winded. Pitts was giveH tiret, knock down in this round.
On time being called for the second round both men came up determined to finish it if possible, and if there ever was a slugging match, hammer and tongs, biff bang, give-and-take-fashion, this was one. The round was started with a ruih aud continued the same until the call of time. After Pitts bad been knocked down once and over the ropes, tbe officers appeared and stopped the fight.
The referee then came forward and declared the fight a draw. These mei are pretty evenly matched and another fight will be the result.
A Midnight Marriage-
Justice Waller Joues, of Linden, is gaining much notoriety through his midnight marriages, tbe one below being the third at which he has officiated. His lateBt escapade occurred last Wednesday night in the marriage of John Evans and Miss Lllie Bowen near that place. The wedding was no the outcome of a long legitimate courtship. Their young hearts had never quivered under the ouelauught of Cupid's arrows. Far from it. Tbe fair Lillie was 6iinply the victim of misplaced coafidence while wayword John fell into the wishes of his own caprice. Some three moatbs ago John thought the title of papa would create a harsh, grating sound on his delicate ear-drums and to avoid the inevitable hied his carcass into the State of Suck«rdom. But his conscience smote him which, together with the fact that the poor girl he had betrayed had located him in his new home, that his capture was only a question of moment aud the vision of bare prison walls staring him in the face prompted the young man to return. On Wednesday night at 12o'clock the prodigal came tripping in over the Clover Leaf aud going at once to the home of 'Squire Joues aroused that gentleman and stated his desire. Soon the two were safely incased in the house of Bowen aud in his usual impressive two-dollar manner the 'Squire pronouuced the words which not only made them man and wife but gave to the unborn babe a father lor sure.
