THE PRIZE FIGHT AT ROBY, IND., STOPPED BY MILITIA. The Columbian Athletic Club in the Hand' of a Receiver—Farmer Robbed bv Highwaymen—Trouble Expected at Galveston, Texas—Carnegie’s Steel Mills. Start Up* NO FIGHT AT ROBY. Governor Matthews* Soldiers Awe the Fighters. Seven hundred officers and men of the Indiana National Guard, fortified with swords, bayonets, rilles, a Gatling gun and twenty<seven thousand pounds of ammunition, bivouacked at Roby, Ind., Monday night, outside the arena of the Columbian, Athletic Club. The finished fights which had been announced to take place between young Griffo, champion feather weight of Australia, and “Kid” Lavigne of Bay City. Mich., for a purse of $6,500. and Jimmy Barry of Chicago, and Johnny Conners of Springfield, 111., for a $1,500 purse, were called off before the military demonstration was made at the club house. Benjamin Hayes of Crown Point, Ind., who was appointed receiver for the club early in the day, served an order on Charles Fredericks, Sheriff of Lake County, that he should allow no more prize fights at the club house. The Sheriff went to the club house at 6 o’clock and gave notice to the men in charge, leaving a dozen deputies to see that the order was respected. Dominic O’Malley, president of the club, and the men who intended to fight threw up the sponge after 4 o’clock in the afternoon. No special trains were run from Chicago. Except for the militia the Roby sporting resort was as dull and fully as dark as a cemetery. Less than a hundred sports came out on the electric road half doubting and half hoping that there would be a fight, or at least some fun with the soldiers. “Kid” Lavigne was the only fighter who remained at the clubhouse all night. He was not half as disgusted as Griffo over the action of Governor Matthe'ws in sending the national guard to see that the fight did not come off. Much is expected by the sports from the test case which is to be tried next week in the Lake County court. No such military demonstration to prevent a prize fight nas been seen in this part of the country, and it awed the small crowd of spectators. The militiamen arrived on the scene at 9 o’clock by special trains on the Lake Shore and Fort Wayne roads, both of which run close to the club house. All was dark and still, but the commanding officers suspected a ruse to swerve them. Picket lins were thrown out and a company of boys in blue were detailed for sentry duty around the big enclosed arena. The young citizen soldiers expected to see some resisting force and their surprise was tempered with a feeling of satisfaction that they would not be ordered to fire on fellow citizens. Some officers went into the arena and found a small party of men taking care of the place, but no signs of a fight. Only twenty-four hours rations were brought on each train and no camp equipments so that the officers and men fared alike. A plank sidewalk with a blanket covering served as a couch for ♦hose not on duty but no one grumbled. The stopping of the fight will cost the State of Indiana some money as well as the Columbian Athletic Club. Beaten by Thugs, James Cobb, a wealthy farmer, was returning home from Valparaiso, Ind. When about three miles from home he was set upon by two men, who jumped into his wagon and attacked him with a club, knocking- him senseless, and robbed him of $l5O. He is badly cut about the head and there is a liability that he will lose his eyesight. Officers havebeen searching for the thieves,but have not found any clew. When Mr. Cobb’s team reached home, the senseless and bleeding body of the farmer was found lying in the bottom of his wagon. ' A Genuine Day for Labor. Pittsburgh special: Every department of tne Carnegie Steel plant at I Homestead was started Monday morning giving employment to about 2,000 men. About 500 are yet idle. They will also be provided with work within a few days. About TO) men were given employment in the Braddock Wire Works, which resumed operations. /No wage reduction was offered as has been anticipated. Coinage Comparisons. The issue of standard silver dollars from the mints and treasury offices for the week end'ed September 2,1893, was $554,441; for the corresponding period •f 1892, $660,155. The shipment of fractional silver coin for the month of August was $1,038,046; for the corresponding period of 1892, $1,437,622. Bank Reopens. After being Closed two months the First National Bank of Grundy Center, lowa;’ opened its doors with new officer l and a strong list- of stockholders. Business Houses Burned. A fire at Conway, lowa, started in B. F. Thompson’s grocery store, and in a short time had consumed the grocery, a drug store and a dry goods store, several business offices, the postoffice and three stables, sixteen buildings in all. T-j-.-- T Mysterious Death. Mrs. Matt Thomas of Kelso, Ind., died very suddenly while preparing to take a trip. The case is shrouded in mystery. Indiana Soldiers’ Monument. There was an enormous amount of rejoicing among the Grand Army people at Indianapolis when it was announced that the soldiers’ monument commission had decided to remove v the’ Mexican war dates from the top of the monument and leave only the date of the civil war. This is the most imposing soldiers’ monument in the country, and the Grand Army contributes about $35,000 toward its cost, with the understanding that it was to commemorate the late war. When the commission in charge of it put the dates of the Mexican waron the upper astragal, posts all over the country protested; the Encampment objected, and the National Encamp-

ment took up the fight by declining to assist in dedicating it. The Commission has voted to remove the dates and now all is serene. BUSINESS BAROMETER. R. G. Dunn & Co. Review the Situation. R. G. Dun & Co. ’s Weekly Review of Trade says: The House has passed the silver bill by a majority astonishing to its friends and a favorable result in the Senate is now believed not to be far distant. Instant improvement in the stock market followed, the average prices rising over $2 per share, and there was also a rise in wheat, cotton, and pork. Money markets throughout the country arej more healthy, failures diminishing in number and resumption by a number of banks and other establishments illustrates the general tendency toward revival of confidence. Manufacturers do not yet feel the upward impulse and exhibit on the whole rather less signs of improvement than a week ago. After somedaysof encouragement, too, stocks began to drag again, and in speculative circles somewhat less confluence was seen. But in these and in the moneymarkets the record of the week has been mainly one of satisfactory progress toward recovery. Wheat was affected to some extent by the Vienna report. Corn yielded a little with more satisfactory crop, reports, but in spites of bettdr advances from the more important cotton' producing States the price of that staple was advanced an eighth. The stock.carried over frdm the crop last year just closed, without any allowance for such a decline., in consumption as has been witnessed during the past half-year, apparently renders it certain that there will be no cotton famine for a year to come. The stock of American cotton at home and abroad is about 1,800,000 bales. BROTHER SNEED Led In Brayer Just Before the Lynching. Will Ackison, colored, aged 20, who assaulted the little Upthegrove girl, was hanged by a mob at South Fork, Ky. The crowd numbered probably 150 men, and, with few exceptions, was quiet and orderly. Ackison was brought before the girl and acknowledged his crime. He said he did not know why he did the deed.but supposed the devil was in him. When asked if he desired the services of a spiritual adviser he said: “I would like for some one to help me pray, but it will do no good. I go into eternity an awful sinner. Tell mother I got into serious trouble and must die an awful death, and through you I bid her and my sisters a long farewell. Send my body home to Mrs. Millie Ackison, Harriman, Tenn. Sheismy mother. lam guilty and have nothing more to say.” After a brief prayer by M. W. Sneed the mob led him a short distance away and hanged him to the stringers on the south end of the trestle spanning South Fork River. Sam Upthegrove. | the girl’s father, gave Ackison a good supper, told the mob to not fire a shot into his body, but to be sure that no breath was left in it when the rope A-as severed.

MOB RULE. ’ A Lot of Hoodlums Make a Raid Upon Chinamen. Some time ago the citizens of Selma, Cal., gave the Chinese laundry men notice to leave by the Ist of September. No force was to l>e used and the Chinamen were preparing to leave peaceably. The other night a mob of vineyard hands and tramps, led by T. B. Vinzent, manager of the Stroud vineyards, came to town and made a raid on the Chinamen. All houses in Chinatown were broken into, the money tills and trunks of the Chinamen were forced open and rifled, and clothing, cigars, and other goods were stolen . The mob marched through town taking seven Chinamen with them, when Constable Spencer ordered them to stop and no heed being paid to his order, he opened fire with Winchesters. Six snots were fired. The mob broke and ran, but the officers secured helpandovertookthem. There are eleven men under arrest and warrants are out for several others. TROOPS CALLED OUT To Prevent Mob Violence to Three Prisonera. Louisville special: The State troops have been called out at Pineville to save from mob violence John and James Marlin and George Wagner, who were arrested as being members of tho gang who fired into a passenger train on the Middleborough belt line the other day. The prisoners were removed to the Pineville jail for safe keeping. AmoboflaOmen is searching for other members of the RiceGreen gang, and a lynching is threatened. Mrs. Mary Bowling, who was fatally shot has died, and this has created much excitement in the neighborhood where she lived. It is now said the Object of the attack on the train was not robbery, but an attempted assassination of Henry Wilkins, a mine foreman who was aboard. A mob from the coal mines has been increased by others since the death of Mrs. Bowling and trouble is expected.

RAVING maniac. Samuel Deeterw Shoots Three Persons and Two Will Die. A horrible shooting scrape occurred near Butler, Ind., which will cause the death of two and probably three prominent residents. Samuel Deeter, a wealthy and respected farmer residing two miles west of this city, became demented and procuring a revolver shot and fatally wounded Amos Bachetel, Mrs. John Lowe and William Yates. Bachetel was shot in the groin. Mrs. Lowe in the side and arm and Yates in the back and aim. After the shooting occurred Deeter then set tiro to his mother’s barn, burning up all this year’s crops, the loss amounting to several thousand dollars. The maniac was finally captured by the officers and is now in safe keeping. Death in Flames. Berlin special: The hotel in Salmbach, a hamlet in the Wurtemburg Black Forest, was burned recently. Sixty young women from cities of Baden, who were passing their holidays in Salmbach, were in the house when the fire broke out. Most of them were aroused by the town watchmen in time to escape down the stairs. A few saved, themselves by jumping from the second story windows. .. Four were suffocated in their rooms, and their dead bodies "were taken from tho ruins. There is no fire department in Salmbach. and no systematic effort to savd the hotel or its occupants could bo made. Terrific Explosion on Board a Steamer. Pacific mail steamer Barracoota has arrived at San Francisco in a badly shattered condition. The deck house, hatch, and saloon were wrecked and match wood made of the vessel’s fittings. Tho captain reports that on the 27th, shortly after noon, when twelve aours out of Comax, B. C., sixty miles jff shore, when the steamer’s course had just been shaped so” Acapulco, a

terrific explosion occurred doing tht damage stated. The explosion soetaAi to have occurred in the hole' uAlong the coal and the captain thinks it Wan dynamite, but has no reason tosnspuet anyone. -u r;o'» Terrible Crime of » Love-Sick Youtb. A terrible tragedy has occurred fn a village near Buda-Perth. A young man at a ball, exasperated because hit attentions to a young lady had beefl slighted, imagined that if he inherited his father’s large estates he would be an acceptable suitor. Accordingly he returned to his father’s house and killed his parents, who were in bed asleep. With a hatchet he then murdered his six young brothers and sisters. Then he returned to the ball and danced the remainder of the night. The next day he was arrested on suspicion. He confessed the crime. Gladstone Conßratnlated. A cablegram has been sent by the officers of the National Federation ol America to Gladstone, congratulating him and the liberal party on the paq> sage of the home rule bill. Following is the closing paragraph; “We earnI estly hope that Goa, who has bestowed upon you such wonderful mental and physical powers, will prolohg your life and enable you to complete the great work of ending internecine strife, bringing peace and strength to the empire, and peace and prosperity to Ireland.” Thong “Do not shot exclaimed the'bride <»f Leo Stafford', white the laflAtf. handling the of shooting nimseff atrtW'liyhom* on Trenton Street. East Livhi’pool, Ohio. Stafford pointed the wifeffm at his wife and pulled theitriMpr, little thinking that it was loaded. Wkjvas discharged, the ball striking the wpman ia the left jaw and ranging dowhwprd flpijged in the neck below the ear, inflicting fatal injuries. They have been married but six weeks. Home Rule Wins. London special: Gladstone’s long home rule fight in the House of Commons is ended. The bill was passed by a vote of 301 to 267. There was unusual animation along the route from Gladstone’s residence to the House of Commons. The streets were crowded with people who wished to catch a glimpse of the great champion of Irish home rule and although there was no organized demonstration, the prime minister was cheered throughout the route. ■ Cholera at Leerdam. Amsterdam special: Nine fresh cases of cholera and five deaths were reported in Leerdam recently. The Dutch-American Steamship Company has notified its agents that all emigrants before embarking must remain five days under the observation of an American physician in the company’s hospital. The emigrants will not be allowed to come or go at pleasure, but will be obliged to sleep and eat in the hospital. ♦♦Depletion of Canada.” London special: The Pall Mall Gazette has an article on the “Depfetior of Canada.” The writer advises an entire stoppage of assisted emigration to Canada, and endeavors to discredit the Dominion in the eves of the people ol Great Britain. It is believed the article is due to United States influence, and the fact that William Waldorf Astor is now proprietor of the paper gives color to the suspicion. Strike for Wages. Peoria special: The freight business of the Jacksonville Southern Line, running between here and St. Louis, is tied up by a strike, the trainmen refusing to work on the ground that then wages had not been paid since June. The railroad officials have notified all connecting lines that freight will not be received until the matter is settled. Tbe Pesky Grasshoppers.

FISHES ATTHE FAIR. MOST COMPLETE COLLECTION ' f? EVER SHOWN. Halt and Fresh Water Species from AU (pluses—Appliance" Used In Their Capture and Preparation for Market—Admirable Arrangements for Dieplay. In the Swim. World’s Fair oorrtnpondenoe: A department of the World’s Fair that in all probability will lead to the establishment of aquaria in different

parts of America Is that of fisheries. Besides the live fish, which include specimens of those that live in salt water, are complete collections of the implements used by all nations in catching and curing them. Fishing

chikjt collinr has not received much attention at international exhibitions. London had an exposition devoted entirely to fisheries nearly ten years ago that, of course, was finer than tho present display, but in Chicago a vefy great deal- has been done to’illustrate the industry, and that, too, without any American precedents. Os all the foreign countries Canada sent the’biggest display. Tlwre are models of flab. stuffed fish, a*d fisheating birdst- A scventy-pound salmon from Queen,.Charlotte ’Sound, British. Columbia, suggests a lot of possibilities to the teller of fish stories. Bark and dugout canoes from the west coast of Canada tell’the story of the Indian angler, and a little model of his home and its surroundings shows where he is when not on tho water. A right whale and a shark, well mounted, show other productions of the Dominion.

New South Wales has a group of Australian seals climbing over some rocks, and many pictures of her fish

and fish markets. The activity with which the Norwegians search the ocean is illustrated by their exhibit. Real fishing boats that savor of the hardy viking are there, bearing such namea as Aafjord, Avendale, JRahen, and Tromsoe. As far north almost as Spitzbergen these sharp-prowed crafts part the waves, their masters on the hunt for cod and seal. A model of a viking ship is here to show the little change of model that has been made in a thousand years. Norwegian stock fish and cod liver oil are here in large quantities. They give a §ea flavor to the atmosphere, and you can almost see the fish jumping in the nets and hear the boat’s keel rubbing on the beach and the swash of the surf if you close your eyes foi a moment. All sorts of canned fish from old Norway are piled up, and there is a fisherman's hut from Lofoden showing how two or three boats’ crews bunk m a roughly built pine board box. Gloucester, Mass., which is not too proud to own up that its greatness is due to its fisheries, has staked out a lot of space in which it glories in the fact. It tells of the past and present condition of its industries. A model of the town as it was one hundred years ago, with cob wharves and cheap little fish sheds, is shown, and then the town proudly points to a model of a section of the town as it is to-day. How the wharves and the warehouses have grown! The very men who pace the piers in miniature seem to have a sense of their increased worth. Bound to Sight Mackerel. A ship's topmast thirty feet high is shown and on the crosstree is a Gloucester fisherman eagerly looking out for a echool of mackerel. Another mcdel is that of a manat a wheel ready to point the thijfs cutwater in the direction of those mackerel, in whichever point of the compass they are sighted. A fine model of a boat, with the men in it hauling in their herring nets, is in the pavilion of the Netherlands, and there are barrels of herring and photographs on screens of the fishery work. Minnesota Eends not only fish but fiflh-eating birds The only machinery in motion in the whole building is an apparatus shown by a Chicago man for cleaning fish. Bostonians forsake their devotion to beans and illustrate their fish markets and the appliances for catching the principal ingredients for lobster salad, that strange dish for which the jaded midnight appetite so often yearns. In the Government annex the tanks are arranged in a circle, and within that is another

fl - - IK TUB TISHBBIES B JILDIHO. circle, a very effective plan as it turns out. Tho design of the fishing schooner Grampus, belonging to the Fish Commission, was the work of CapL Joseph W. Collins, and in command of that vessel he made many very interesting cruises. Tho exhibition of salt-water fish and anemones is an experiment which a good many people who knew shook their heads about. At first the sea water was brought to Chicago in carboys, such as are used for the shipment of acids, but this was found to be too expensive and tank oars were substituted. What S*» Water Con n. Sea water in Chicago is almost as expensive as beer. The greatest care 1b taken to keep it from being wasted. About 70,000 gallons of it are kept, on hand. Af.er a quantity of it has been

kept in a tank for a sufficient length of time it is drawn off and is run into a filter in the cellar made of atonea. gravel and sand in strata, as in natural soil. This is to impart new life to IL Then it is pumped back into a tank reservoir over tho tanks and used again. The water runs in such a way as to become aerated again. For the use of big Mississipi fish is an aquarium 72 feet long, 5 feet deep and 12 feet wide. It contains cattish, sturgeon and pickerel. The lake fish, which include sturgeon, whitefish and bass, were gathered at tho Put In Bay station on Lake Erie. The Atlantic fish were collected at Wood’s Holl, Mass. The government steamer Fish Hawk scoured tho Southern waters for specimens. At tho extreme end of the

View or LAGOON, SHOWING WHALES PROGRESS. main Fisheries Building is the angling annex, devoted entirely to the consideration of fishing as a pastime. There the sporting clubs, tho gentlemen fishing liars and tho fly and rod cranks cun flock bv themselves and argue it out. A New York sportsman’s paper has a pavilion in which it exhibits yacht models and photographs having reference to the art of fishing. . Outside of the annex is. a reproduction, by the way, of Izaak Walton’s fishing house, in which there is an oil portrait of the old gentleman. An interesting exhibit is that of the American Anglers. It includes fishing boats, tents and furniture. There is a display also of the flies, rods, reels and tackle and some young women engaged in tying flies on the hooks and making fishing lines. Pennsylvania makes an

aquarium exhibit. It has built a small hillside down which trickles a stream. This runs through a fishway and into a pond on the floor. Around the pavilion are tanks,.the iron work of which is skillfully concealed, and the visitor has the effect produced on him that he is at the bottom of a lane, the waters of which are kept away from him in the same way as those of the Red Sea were divided. Wisconsin also contributes some live fish, and both that State and Pennsylvania show small hatcheries in operation. Primitive boats and tackle used by the Indians of the Amazon and the more modern appliances are in the exhibit from Brazil. They contrast strangely with the steel rods and the graceful flies of North America. I have sketched in a general way the most entertaining features of the Fisheries Building. Outside of these there are all sorts of exhibits with Latin names that are of absorbing interest to the specialist. He can flock by himself and devour the literary works

Hg,<jan wrap himself up in maps telling all about geographical distributions of fish. Fishermen, if they want to know all about what there is in this building, must study algae (very sticky looking things with arms that wave in the water), sponges, corals, polyps and jelly fish. Some of these forms of life so nearly border on the vegetable that it is a little difficult for a non-ex-pert to tell to what kingdom thet should be assigned. But they have such a quiet, easy, Philadelphia way of taking life that they are a standing reproach to the superexcited Chicagoan. Then comes the grand array of worms that dwell under water, and that, spurned by the soaring fishes, get their revenge when they are put on the point of a hook ana used as bait. All the bait worms are exhibited, and the leeches. Then are seen the reptiles, such as turtles, terrapin, lizards, perpenta, frogs and newts. Some compromise oughVto be effected with the United States Fish Commission by which turtle, terrapin and frogs’ legs are not classified with the reptiles. It is decidedly unpleasant to a man of taste. Tbe aquatic biros, mammalia, such as otter, seals, whales and such like live things, are there in minute detail. Fishy Literature. In the sea fishing and angling sections you can find, in addition to those more dramatic and readily discernible items that have been brought to. your attention already, bocks on the history of fishing, its laws and its commerce, eharters and seals of fishermen’s guilds, fishery laws of different countries, including that of New Jersey prohibiting shad from containing bones, reports of and literature of fishes, in which is comprehended some of tho most deliberate lies ever told about size and weight and yarns about the aoclimitization of fish. Then there are fishhooks, jigs and drails and gear until you get tired of looking at it, nets and seines, weirs and pounds, knives and gaffs. The implements uspd in entrapping whalei, seals, cd, mackerel, halibut, herring, hadd ck, menhaden, swordfish, bluefish and the snares for beguiling the wily oyster and ther elusive sponc-,. The only things not shown are pictures of sea serpents, tho real bait that no fishing leave home without a bottle of, and devices for catching “suckers.” But these are caught everywhere most openly in Chicago, and would not bq, attractions at a place whore an admission fee is charged. Crooked nails are always an indlca* tlon of pride, even to haugntiness. ", / /’’l'M .. ...

A party of hunters made a ghastly find in a secluded part of the woods on the County Poor Farm near Newcastle. It consisted of the remains of an old man who had committed suicide by hanging. The body was so decomposed that the flesh was dropping away and the bones protruded in many places. This rendered identification impossible. The unfortunate is thought to have been Israel Shinn, a demented old pensioner, who wandered away from his home in Dunreith some weeks ago. A determined case of suicide took place in the County Jail at Lafayette. A man slated under the name of John Daily was put in for safe keeping. Shortly after he was locked up it was discovered that he had succeeded in cutting his throat, making a ghastly affair of it. It is supposed he had a razor in his shoe, as he had been searched both by the policeman and the turnkey. When found he was already dead. The wound extended completely around his neck, and was a clean cut to the backbone. He had considerable difficulty in cutting his windpipe, but had sawed and hewed at it until the razor went through it. Arrangements have been perfected forth« reopening of the Diamond Plate Glass Works at Kohomo, that have been closed down since May 10. The mills, formerly operating 800 men, will iegin next week with half the regular force, and increase as fast as conditions justify.
