rest Of Two Of the Gang.
At daylight yesterday morning gang of about one
hundred men and boys crossed into Jersey from the
foot OF Eighteenth and Twentieth streets to witness
prize fight between two Sixteenth ward rowdies,
who had been matched TO fight for 500 side The
two aspirants for pugistic fame are known as Jim,
O'Donnell, alias "Coppers," lounger about the
corners OF Ninth avenue and Eighteenth street, and
the other Mike Carry, well known desperado. The
two principals left the city on Sunday evening, but
most Of their admirers crossed In small boats
during the night The place selected was,
just north of Gutenberg on the upper
road where there is very little travel and
which was selected by well-known hotel keeper:
near by ring was soon pitched and everything
arranged for the conflict Both men were welr
seconded and no trouble was had In the selection Of
q referee. J
AT little past four o'clock the men stripped for
the contest both being well built men aud appa-

went quickly to business, Curry getting In the 1rsS
blow: They made s lively work for some time, when
Curry received telling blow on the ribs which caused
him to drop.
The second round was very light, but in the third
Curry drew first blood, which was duly granted him
amid the cheers Of his friends.
On the 1th round o'Donnell got heavy blow ON
the side of his head which sent him to grass Curry
was doing heavy work, and 1t seemed that he was q
little too much for his adversary; but O'Donnel wax
quick In movement and did his work "like good
fellow" on Curry's ribs.
In the eighth round the latter received terrible
blow on his right eye, which caused him again to-
fall
The ensuing rounds to the twelfth were very light
but In the latter O'D0nne caused Curry come tho
drop; so well had he punished him about the body
that he was getting "winded."
In the fourteenth round constable Of Hudson
county, named Donnelly, appeared on the ground
and ordered the principals to desist threatening
them with arrest. They at first declined, when Dom
nelly stated that he had renorcements, and started
off, as they supposed, to get them. He nad hardly
got great distance when a cry was raised that q
whole armed force was after them, and such rush
was seldom seen. In second almost not q vestigoi

A Double AFFLICTIoN.-On his arrival home
yesterday (the 3Oth) Judge Drury found a
telegram informing him of the death of his
mother, at her home in Rhinebeck, N. Y.
He had left her in her usual health but a
short time before, to attend the funeral OF
Mrs. GarviD, of Buffalo, the mother of Mrs.
Drury, and had remained there some days
after the funeral, instead of coming directly
home, which accounts for the telegram being
sent here instead of to Buffalo. Mrs. Drury
was 81 years old, and had been a widow
some 8 or 10 years. Mrs. Garvin was the
widow of an episcopal clergyman, who died
nearly 20 years ago. She was 78 years old.
Her funeral was attended by the Bishop and
a large number of the clergy. The death of
these two aged ladies occurred within five
days of each other.
