Indianapolis. Ind. OUTPOINTED BY M'COY CIIOY.NSKI NOT Qt'ITiS SO CLEVER AS THE SCIENTIFIC KID. Latter Scored the Only Knockdown of the Six-Itonnd Flht Kid Lavigne Whipped. CHICAGO. Oct. 6. Kid McCoy and Joe Choynskl fought six rounds before the Fort Dearborn Athletic Club to-night. Both men had agreed to a draw In case they were on their feet at the end of the sixth round and that waa the decision, as both were not only on their feet, but comparalvely fresh. McCoy, however, clearly outpointed the Callfornlan and scored the only knockdown of the fight, putting Joe to the boards with a left hook to the mouth in the third round. The Kid made a careful tight of It. He took no chances whatever, contenting himself as a rule with stabbing Choynskl with his left. He Used his right but seldom, but It generally counted hard when he did put It In operation. Choynskl sccred many times, bringing the blood from McCoy's nose. In the first round and pr.ee or twice Jarring McCoy considerably with his right. Many of his blows, however, fell shcrt. In the preliminaries Billy Xauffman, of St. IouIs, and Jack Robinson, of Chicago, fought a six-round draw. Lew Mansttcll, cf Chicago, knocked out Jack Falvey, or Chicago, in the first round and Jack Hudson put Jim Qulnn away in four rounds. The McCoy-Choynski fight by rounds follows : Round 1 Both men shaped up well as they came together and were evidently In KOoll trim. McCoy landed a right n the ribs and escaped a return. He tried a left for the face, but It was blocked. McCoy tried his left again and put it in hara on the face and a right to the ribs, Choynskl countering on the ear. in a ciinen Mcioy b?at a tattoo on Joe's ribs with his right and brought it up to the tr. thoynfkt lamming his right . to the Kid's r.b.. Cntynski was cautious and fiddled considerably. McCoy refused to be drawn cut, but watched his man like a cat. No particular damage done. J Round 2 Choyn.-kl hooked his left, but missed. In the clinch McCoy landed hard on the ribs and ear, but Choynskl brought first bicod with a short hook on McCoy's nose. Chonskl landed a light right on the mouth. McCoy, quick as a flash. Jabbed his left twice to Choynskl' s nose. McCoy put his right on the ribs. Choynskl countering with :i l?ft on the face. Joe landed a left cn the mouth as the bell rang. Round Z McCoy cot to work at once and slammed a hard left to Joe's mouth and a right hook to the ear. Joe put his right on McCoy's ear. the latter coming back with a hard left to the mouth. McCoy repeated the blow, Choynskl putting a light left to the chin. McCoy Jabbed his left twice to the face and then to the ribs. Then, suddenly shifting he tied the Callfornlan up by feinting with his right and sent his left with terrific force to the mouth. Choynskl went down like a shot. He got up immediately, but his mouth was bleeding freely. McCoy was on him at once, but Joe fought back hard, putting hi left and right to the face, sending McCoy's head back. McCoy put his left straight and hard on the Jaw. This was decidedly McCoy's round. Round 4 McCoy put two hard lefts to the face. Choynskl countering with a left to the mouth. Choynskl swung his left lightly on McCoy's ear. The latter then sent Joe's head back twice with straight lefts. Choynskl evened matters with a right and left hard to the Jaw. McCoy swung his left and right to the head. He left an opening and Choynskl staggered the Kid a little with a hard right to the neck. Round 5 Choynskl blocked a left and sent his lelt hard to. the Kid's eye. McCoy then feinted and rut a terrific right over to the car. staggering Choynskl. The latter, who was decidedly aggressive, placed his left on the ear. In a clinch both landed hard rights on the ear. McCoy put a hard left on the neck and Choynskl a hard right on McCoy's mouth. McCoy brought his left to th ear and partly wrestled Choynskl to the floor a the gong rounded. Round 6 McCoy put his left to Choynskl's nose, starting it to bleeding. Choynskl missed a left for the chin and McCoy put his right hard on the kidneys. McCoy reddened Joe's ribs with his right In a clinch, the latter bringing his left over on the neck. Choynskl sent his right to the rlba and McCoy countered with a good left hook to the mouth Just before the bell rang. Choynskl landed a right swing on the Jaw. shaking the Kid up a little. Choynskl's lips were somewhat swollen at the finish. Beyond a skinned nose McCoy did not bear a mark. L AVIfiXE KNOCKED OUT. Whipped liy Ceorne .McFadden In the Nineteenth Round. NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-George McFadden. of thU city, knocked out George (Kid) lAvIgne. ex-lightweight champion of the world, in the nineteenth round before the new Broadway Athletic Club to-night. They met at 123 pounds and put up a fight which was as sensational as it was prolific of hard hitting and clever ring work. McPadden's blocking of the Kid's rushes and leads was phenomenal, and toward the end of the bout he had the Saginaw boxer very raw and ore. At the opening Lavigne was the favorite, but after the twelfth round odds of W) to SO were freely offered on McFadden. Lavigne was well battered, and several minutes elapsed before he realized what had happened to him. McFadden left the ring virtually without a mark. McFadden fought carefully at the start, Ctopplnj Lavigne'a rushes. Toward the doe of tn fourth, round he staggered the

Kid with a left" and right on the head, and in the fifth he took the aggressive, getting In on the Kid's wind and stopping tne latter's rushes In a way that set the spectators cheering. In the 6lxth Lavigne, unable to reach his man. seemed to have lost his temper and fought wildly. In the seventh Lavigne came out slower than usual and seamed tired. McFadden landed twice on the Jaw and again on the face, and the Kid rushed him to the ropes. In the eighth the Kid rushed again, but Mac's guard was perfect and the round was McFadden's, who landed hard on the face and Jaw again and again. In the ninth Mac landed his left and right on the face and body and seemed very tresh and strong as he stopped the Kid's rushes. Lavigne kept on leading ineffectually and getting smashed in the face, but In the eleventh soon after a clinch, In which the men fell. Lavigne nearly put Mac out with a left to the pit of the stomach. When Lavigne came up for the thirteenth his left eye was almost closed. He still rushed viciously, but McFadden got much the better of the exchanges. In the fifteenth McFadden sent Lavigne down and staggered him again with a hard right a moment later. Lavigne took heavy punishment In the sixteenth and was evidently going down hill. Both men were a bit wild In the seventeenth, with Mac forcing his man. Lavigne went down from a right on the Jaw. but got up Instantly to get a left and right on the head. Toward the close of the eighteenth Lavigne fell from a left Jab and push with hands. He got up In two seconds, only to go to his knees from a right uppercut as the bell rang, and he went to his corner groggy. At the opening of the nineteenth round McFadden went right to his man and had him reeling with right and left swings on the head. A right swing on the Jaw put Lavigne to the ilocr. where he lay six seconds. He got up reeling and tried to clinch, but was sent down twice more with similar blows. Each time he took almost the limit to get up. but it was beyond doubt that he was unable to cope with McFadden, who stcod waiting to give him a final blow. The Kid clinched as he got up and the referee separated them. Then Mac nailed Lavigne with a left back of the ear and the Kid went down for another nine seconds' rest. A left to the body floored Lavigne for the fifth time. He got up. only to go down again, this time from a clinch, with McFadden on top. McFadden jumped up at once, but Lavigne rce slcwly. He staggered across the rinsr. with McFadden hot after him. Lavigne rushed to a clinch. When the referee broke them McFadden swung hU right to the head and uppercut his left to the chin. Lavigne went down again, but got up within the limit. He stood in a dazed condition. McFadden measured him carefully and with a left swing this time sent him down and out. Time of round 2 minutes 3 seconds. Before the principal event Jimmy Hayward, colored, of Chicago, defeated Eddie Daly, of Baltimore, in a twelve-round bout in which the white man was pretty thoroughly used up, though wonderfully game.

Oct. 6.-A paragraph recently appeared in certain Indiana papers to the effect that a policy of insurance had Just been written on the life of Melville W. Mix, of Mlshawaka. Ind.. for f2Du.ftuO In the "New York Mutual" Insurance Company, the largest ever written In the State. In an Interview yesterday Vice President Robert A. Grnnnlns. of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, said: "There are so many so-called Mutual Life Insurance Comlaries that the insuring public are often confused ns to which company is really indicated. To avoid mistakes of this kind it should be borne in mind that The Mutual IJfe Insurance Company of New York, Richard A. McCurdy, president, 1st not correctly referred to as the 'The New York Mutual,' although many newspaper paragraphs so style it. The Mutual Life of New York is the oldest active company of its kind In this country, and Is without question the largest, strongest and best in the world. This is the company referred to in the paragraph published in the Indiana papers aa the one in which Mr. Mix insured."

TRADE IS? PROSPEROUS

VOLUME FOR FOUR DAYS EXCEEDED THAT FOR SIX, A YEAR AGO. Record fur Failures I the Smallest In dumber and In Amounts Involved for 3Iany Years. NEW YORK, Oct. 6. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say to-morrow: The grand demonstration in honor of Admiral Dewey effectually stopped business of most kinds for two days at the chief cities of the country, and yet the remaining transactions of the week would have caused wonder a year ago. At New York, where the interruption was greatest, payments through the clearing houses exceeded $1,039,000,000 In four business days, a record never before approached, and outside of New York the gain reflects a great expansion in the volume of that kind of business which does not depend cn exchanges. It has been a week of remarkable monetary changes here and elsewhere. The Bank of England raised its rate 1 per cent, before and V2 per cent, more after Its weekly statement, from Z to 5 per cent., with the hope that the outgo to New York might be checked, but the Bank of Germany lost also and raised its rate to 6 per cent., and the Bank of France lost heavily. While high rates were paid here for money required in speculation, no stringency embarrasses any branch of legitimate business, and the stock market has held up surprisingly. With such business as the great steel companies are doing it is not strange that their stocks are firmly held. There have been heavy sales of rails deliverable next year, VQ being fixed as the price after consultation, and about 250,000 tons, fairly divided between Eastern and Western works, were sold. For their protection the great companies bought billets in large quantities, for which, it is said. $33 was paid by some, and of bessemer pig nearly 200.000 tons, the Federal Steel Company taking 110.000 and Pittsburg works taking advantage of old options.- Other large rail contracts are expected soon, especially those of the Pennsylvania. While bessemer pig ro.e 25 cents and gray forge at Pittsburg declined 50 cents, finished products were not changed, excepting another rise of 15 cents per keg In cut nails, and there is reported some disposition to hold back orders because of the general rise in prices. The wool market Is strong, with sales of 10,582.152 pounds at the three chief markets, prices being maintained, although the advance at London has been checked. The cotton mills, after the general advance in prices last week, have had a large business, being helped by the rise In material. Alter advancing about 2 cents wheat declined sharply, uncertainty in the Transvaal being used by speculators as excuse for the fluctuation. The closing price is unchanged, with Atlantic exports of 3.5C2.0S2 bushels (flour included), against 2,884,533 last year, and Pacific exports of X7,052 bushels, against 702,414 last year. Corn exports were 2.M2.232 bushels for the week, against 2.531,002 last year, and the price rising 1 cent. The merchandise exports from New York have been In four weeks $31.2c2,622 in value, against J32.71S.494 last year, which, with the Increase in manufactured exports and in 'cotton exports from other points. Insures an enormous outgo for September, while the Increase In Imports at New York has been about .19,500,000 in value, apparently not enough to reduce the excess of exports for the month below $30,000,0u0. FAILURES ARE FEW, While All Classes of Business Are Very Prosperous. NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: "Distributive trade, while smaller at some markets, Is still of encouraging volume, industry is active, railway earnings are heavy, prices' still tend up ward and bank clearings Increase, while failures lessen.' Fall festivals and other celebrations at several cities have exercised an appreciable effect upon retail trade and proved a stimulating factor In wholesale lines. In industrial affairs activity Is widespread and "strkes are fewer and less costly than In most years. Though lessened by holidays, bank clearings, swelled partly by heavy October dlsbursemets and partly by general business expansion, tend to en-, large as the season advances. Prices as a whole manifest aggressive strength. Farm products are .especially -prominent in this direction, the South's greatest staple, coiton, owing to short-crop advances and owing to speculation. leading in extent of gain with an advance of nearly cent for the week, of nearly 2 cents as compared with a year ago and of quite 2H cents a compared with the low-water price touched in the season. of 1S9S-99. The manufactured artide is strong, in sympathy with the raw product, but is also strengthened by reported heavy dealings in print cloths and by the fact that manufacturers of most lines of staple cottons are heavily sold ahead. War rumors have played an important part in the week's operations, tending in some respects toward checking the buoyancy of cotton, affecting Londorr wool sale prices and strengthening the tone ot wheat and other cereals, which are strong In fare of heavy increases In the visible supplies. "Hides and leather are strong and higher. Iron and steel hold all of their old strengtn, the former on heavy buying at Pittsburg and farther West, while large quantities of steel rails have been bought by leading railroads and further heavy business Is ua der consideration. Export trade in Southern Iron has almost ceased, and there is talk of reimporting some already shipped. "Since July 1. thb season, the exports of wheat aggregate 53.799,413 bushels, against ."2.408.121 bushels last year and 60.9S0.412 la 1897-9$. Since July 1, this season, corn ex-, ports aggregate 0,&17.Cb6 bushel., against C9.C5y.S4N during the same period a week ago and 43.618.KJ2 in 1897-98. "Statistics of failures plnt to continued trade improvement and to a still ebbing tide of business mortality. Failure reports for the first and second quarter? of the year left little to be desired, showing, as they did, fewer failures than In any but the most favored years and liabilities the smallest for at least seventeen years. ' Returns by months showed failures and liabilities in June only about half wbat they werts In January, indicating that failures wera woll down to the minimum. The oresen report of business failures Is. however, everi better than any that has gone before It in recent years, and the third quarter of th year 1S99, appropriately enough, shows the fewest failures, the smallest liabilities and the smallest proportion of assets to liabilities of which there is any recent record. As indicative of this good showing being representative of existing conditions, it is to be remarked that failures and liabilities alike found their minimum this year in September, and corresponding totals of previous years show that the month Just closed comes near to, if not actually, possessing the record of the smallest business embarrassments and liabilities. There were only 2.026 failures, involving 113.550.963 In liabilities and Sfi.340.286 In as. sets In the third quarter of 1899, a decrease of 15 per cent, in number and of 48 per cent, in liabilities from the same quarter of last year, which. It Is hardly necessary to add, was a very good one for business generally. Compared with the second quarter of 1S99, liabilities are 18 per cent, smaller, and com. pared with the first three months of this year liabilities are less than half as heavy. Perhaps the most satisfactory showing of all Is that made by the Southern States, which have at last, apparently, begun the share in the prosperity earlier noted In other sections of the country. "The total number of failures for th nine months was only l.Oto. a falling off ot 20 per cent, from last year, of 28 per cent, trom 1S97 and of 37 per cent, from 189n. which year held the record for the most numerous nine months' failures, exceeding even the pan'.c year 1S93. As regards liabilities, the total for the period under reviewJ05.853.21Jv is 35 per cent, smaller than It was last year, 45 per cent, smaller than In 1S97, 61 per cent, smaller than in 1S96. 80 per cent, smaller than In 1893. the panic year, and 14 per cent, smaller than In 1S92. The per. rentage of assets to liabilities Is only 41 per cent, this year, against 51 last year, 55 in 197. 58 In 1S96 and 70 in 193. "Canadian failures for nine months number 975. aggreeatlng $S. 585.901 in liabilities, a decrease of 10 per cent. In number, but a gain of 13 per cent, in liabilities from last year." .. FOREIGX-DLILT STEAMERS. WltneaH Defore Induntrlal Conimli11 Ion Advocate Their Purchase. WASHINGTON, Oct. C-Frank L Neall. of the firm of Peter Wright & Son. of Philadelphia, and N B. Kelley, secretary of the Trade League, of Philadelphia, were the witnesses before the industrial commission to-day. Mr. Neall is a broker, and his testimony dealt with the subject of marin? transportation almost exclusively, lie stated

that since the Transvaal question had become acute Great Britain had taken at least seventy-five vessels, that were ordinarily engaged in the foreign carrying trade of the United States. The result naturally had been a very marked advance in freight rates, and Mr. Neall declared that the tonnage of American vessels available for ocean traffic did not exceed 300,000, whereas the total tonnage of the vessels of the world was 28.CO0.0u0 He favored a revision of the maritime laws of this country so as to permit the purchase of foreign-built freight steamers, commonly known as tramps, for mlf cellaneous transoceanic business. These vessels could be built a fourth cheaper abroad than In this country, and wherever owned they had. proved very profitable. Within the past two years the practice of leasing such vessels by Americans, he said, had Increased four-fold, and after paving a profit to the lessees they were netting their owners 20 and 25 per cent, per annum. Mr. Neall announced himself as opposed to a discriminating duty for the benefit of American-built ships for the reason that he believed such a system "would precipitate retaliatory measure on the part of other nations. In reply to a question he said that there was not a single line of steamers crossing the Atlantic that is composed entirely of American vessels. Mr. Kelley explained the purposes of the Philadelphia Trades League to be to protect the shippers of that city against railroad discriminations. One of the discriminations which gave the league most, trouble was found In the misdescription of goods. He also complained that the railroads were in the habit of putting down rates in competition with the lake traffic at the beginning of the lake season and also of the rates to the Inland cities on imported goods. An Electric "Combine PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6.-Articles of Incorporation of the Philadelphia Electric Company, with an authorized capital of $25,000,000, were filed at Trenton, N. J., today. The company Is 'authorised to manufacture and supply gas, , electricity, light, heat, steam, compressed and liquefied air, power, ice, cold storage, etc. The company, it is said, will absorb the Pennsylvania Heat, Light and Power Company and the recently formed National Electric Company, both of this city, and will ultimately control the electric lighting of Philadelphia. The controlling factors in the concern are P. A. B. Wldener. W. L Elklns, Thomas Dolan. William F. Harrtty and Joseph F. McCall. .... Broom Corn "Cornered CHARLESTON, 111., Oct. 6. The farmers appear to have cornered the broom-corn market, and prices have rushed up from $60 to $90 per ton.' Last year the brokers cornered the market and" ran the price from $50 to $180. There have been fifty buyers in the central broom-corn belt this week after the "brush." Yesterday they took everything they could get, regardless of quality, at $S0. To-day they offered $90, and where the price may go no man can tell. There Is no shortage to speak of this season, but the clean-up of last yen's crop makes broom corn a scarce article in all quarters. LnrKent Furnace In the World. PITTSBURG, Oct. 6. The Carnegie Steel Company, limited, will Immediately commence the construction at Rankin ot two blast furnaces, each of which will have a capacity of 1,400 tons of Iron in twenty-four hours seven hundred tons per stack. These furnaces1 will be the largest in the world In every detail. The estimated cost of the Improvements outlined will be between $7,500,000 and $8,000,000. With the Iron and steel furnaces now building and projected, the company will have within a year a producing capacity over 100 per cent, greater than any other concern in the world. HANK CLEARINGS.

The platform opens with felicitation on 'The results which have followed the res toration of the Republican party to power in all the branches of the federal government. On the subject of national finances and the currency the platform says: "Bonds and notes payable in coin must be established by law to be payable in gold, and provisions made for supply of gold when required. The Republican party stands unreservedly pledged to maintain the existing gold standard, and we look with fontifipnre to the Fifty-sixth Congress for the enactment of measures to so perfect our mcnetary system that mere snail be ample money for the expanding business of the country and to so arm and guard the treas ury that It can at an umcs proieci xne na tloral credit." The platform urges the opening up of new markets for the manufactured products of the United States, the development of the merchant marine of this country, and such Improvement of the principal harbors of the United States as shall make them accessi ble to t,he largest vessels anoai. . On the subject of trusts the platform savsr "Thp Renublican party of Massachu setts Is unqualifiedly opposed to trusts and monopoly and the capitalization of fictitious and speculative valuations." The national administration Is lndofsed Jn the following paragraphs: "We express our confidence In the patriotic Ideals of Pres ident William McKlnley ana the high quail ties of statesmanship with which he has im pressed them on his administration. He has enforced an efficient conduct of affairs in every department of the country; he has ro conducted the diplomatic service as to win for the United States the respect and admiration of foreign nations. The recent war with Spain, which was necessitated by humanity, has been overwneimmgiy vinai cated bv the results so speedily and splen didly attained. We commend the tact, the patience, the skill and the statesmanlike spirit with which the President hag approached the perplexing problems arising from the war. Under the treaty with Spain the law of nations put upon the United States the responsibility for the peace and security of life and property, the well-being and the future government of the Philippine islands: accepting thl9 responsibility. It 13 our profound trust that the present hostilities can be brought to an early termination, and that Congress, guided by a wise and patroitic administration, will establish and maintain In those islands, hitherto the home of tyrants, a government as free, as liberal and as progressive as our own." The administration of the Navy Department by Secretary John D. Long is particularly commended. The cause of civil-service reform Is indorsed and stringent naturalizationlaws and further restriction of Immigration are urged. - Regarding lynchlngs In the South the platform saj-s: "We condemn the depriving of any person of his life -or. property without due process of law, and we especially condemn the " unwarranted lynching of colored citizens in other States. We affirm anew our support of appropriate legislation to secure equal protection by law- of life and property of every citizen of the United States, without rerrd to race or

GlaM Worker Urair First Blood from v the Xevr Trust. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. - ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 6. Trust organization received a hard jolt in. Indiana today, when Judge Ryan, of the Superior Court, rendered a decision finding as sufficient the steps taken In the courts of this county to enjoin Indiana manufacturers from transferring their plants to the new $17,000,000 window-glass trust, and also asking for the appointment of receivers for the Indiana concerns for violation of their charter rights. The action filed by the workers was much discredited and made light of, and the manufacturers indicated that it would not stand the test of the law. They filed demurrers to the action, setting fortn four grounds, all of which were overruled by Judge Ryan. The first was that the court has no jurisdiction; second, that plaintiffs had no legal capacity to sue: third, that the complaint does not set forth facts sufficient to constitute case of action; fourth, that several cases of action have not been properly adjoined. The ruling of the court was exhaustive, and covers twenty-seven type-written pages. It is sweeping in its nature, and all In favor of the plaintiffs.

DIFFERENCES By Hervey White Mr. White has written a story of Chicago so powerfully conceived, so skilfully elaborated, and imbued throughout with such a spirit of humanity that one can hardly believe that it will not take rank among the foremost of recent American novels. It is a piece of realism which rises in the end, by sheer force of feeling, to the pitch of the best romance. Clotby $1.30 A LOCAL HABITATION By Walter Leon Sawyer Mr. Sawyer's book is about the people who live in the typical cheap lodging-houses of the modern " city wilderness," in this case the South End of Boston. The life is harsh enough and crude enough, it is often sufficiently comical ; but Mr. Sawyer, with wit and humor and the gift of satire at his command, has never forgotten that it is the life of real men and women, and by virtue of his unforced and constant sympathy has produced a novel which once read is not likely soon to be forgotten.
