Arthur Chambers aud John Clark Fight for
the Light Weight Championships Tame
and Uneventful Affair.
BUFFALO, March 27.-A prize fight between
Clark and Chambers is reported to have taken
place this morning at Navy Island, Canada.
DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR.
BUFFALO, March 27.-The prize fight, which
took place to-day, near Black Creek, Canada,
about ten miles from this city, between Arthur
Chambers and John Clark, of Philadelphia, for
$1,000 side and the light weight champion
ship of America, was, on the whole, a tame
affair. The parties, with their seconds, Joe
Goss and Billy Edwards for Chambers, and
Henry Higgins ard Thos. W. McDermott for
Clark, with Daniel Munce, of this city, referee,
accompanied by number o. pugilistically in
olined roughs, blacklegs and gamblers from
Boston, New York. Beouklyn, Philadelphia and
this city, and large deputation of reporters,
boarded tug in the harbor at o'clock this
morning, arriving at the point named about
10. One hundred and thirty-seven rounds were
fought. Clark was pretty badly used up, more
however, from the hard work of lodging Cham
bers and throwing himself down to avoid pun
ishment than from blows received, although
his face showed signs of a fight, while Cham
bers left the field comparatively unhurt. After
having fought 1875 rounds the spectators began
to call for draw, or finish of some kind, and
Higgins, Clark's second, again threw up the
sponge, having done so on the 1920 round, to
which Clark objected Clark protested. but
finally Chambers said he would rather give him
$500 than punish him any more, and this offer
being accepted. the fight closed, after having
lasted two hours and twenty minutes. The par
ties separated at Black Rock. The fight caused
considerable excitement in this city among a
certain class.

Last Nights Opera.

Owing to the indisposition of Mr.. Hall
and another member of the Hess Opera COM
pany change in the opera announced for
last evening was rendered necessary, and in
place of I'll Trovatore,'' which had been an
nounced, "Martha" was substituted. While
at first some felt a very natural disappoint-
ment, the first act had not been concluded
before everybody was we'll pleased and pre-
pared to enter into the enjoyment of the en-
tertainment to the fullest extent. Miss Alb
Martha, and sang and acted her role with
great fidelity and attention to detail. Her
solos were, of course, excellently rendered,
and "The last rose of summer" was sung
with fine expression, bringing out loud en-
core. While the "Casta Diva'' has been
better rendered in st. Paul than it was by
MIR. Turner, his execution of the very diff
cult passages was eminently salts
factory, and called forth an encore, both
long and enthusiastic. The repetition was
much better than the first performance, and
was deservedly applauded. Mrs. Seeuin
made very attractive Nancy, and Mr..
Peakes has rarely been surpassed as Plunket.
His voice is we'll adapted to the part, and he
handles it with all the skill of finished
artist. The chorus was more than usually
strong, and the finale to the ttCasta Diva
scene in the fourth act drew forth the rare
compliment of most vociferous encore.
Tonight we will be favored with Fra
Diavolo. with strong cast, including Miss
Montague, Mrs. Seguin, and Messrs. Castle,
Turner, Peakes and Seguin. 1t is several
years since this most entertaining opera has
been produced here, and there is every in
dication of crowded house.

and the sentiment was unanimous in opposi-
ton to the programme arranged by the Demo
Gratis. Messrs. Garfield, Keifer, Williams,
Wis, Balfort, Conger and others made lengthy
speeches sustaining the views above
indicated, and it was finally
agreed that every endeavor should be made by
the minority to prevent the passage of the
bills named above unless they shall be relieved
OF the provisions in question. The sense of
the caucus was that if the Democrats should
insist upon carrying out the plan already
adopted by them the effect would be u stoPPaSe

following resolution was adopted without OPP

RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this caucus
that hereafter and until the appropriation bills
are disposed of no pairs by Republicans shall
under any consideration be made.
This resolution appears to indicate deter

VAS 1T Il CRIME?
The Mysterious Death of a Young Lady
Yesterday Morning.

The Mysterious Death of a Young Lady
Yesterday Morning.
The neighborhood of East Seventh street,
near Broadway, was yesterday in ferment
of excitement. In modest frame cottage
designated No. 255, the first named
thoroughfare, young girl peacefully reposed
in the sleep that knows no awakening.
There was nothing to indicate in the pro-
found and calm gaze of the upturned face
other causes of dissolution than
those which usually precede the
most natural and peaceful death,
but the blatant tongue of rumor was busily
natural crime. It was currently reported, in
short, that the young girl was the victim of
atrocious though not unusual crime. The
victims name, for such she is supposed to be,
is known as Miss Kittie Wright, her
former name being Mrs. Rogers, her maiden
name being assumed about one year and a
half ago, following separation from her
former husband, after matrimonial expert
ence of only three weeks.
In order to properly elucidate the nara
tive it is necessary to state that Mrs. Wright
has been suffering from an organic weak
ness for the past two years, her
health being further impaired
by the result of an accident while out riding
last summer. A few weeks since she was
taken seriously ill, and was forced to con-
fine herself to the house, having been in the
employ of boot and shoe manufactury in
this city.
The female neighbors of the Wrights we're
naturally interested in the illness of the
young girl, and it was rumored befo re long
that her sickness was due to an improper
intimacy with a young man connected with a
prominent St. Paul tobacco house.
DR.. Roy was the attending physician until
Tuesday last, when he was dismissed and
Drs. Hagan and Murphy were summoned,
but they could do nothing save to alleviate
the sufferings of the patient. AS DR.. Roy
left for short visit to Montreal last night,
he could not be seen, and the other physi-
clans are decidedly reticent. It seems to be
proper case for the coroner and county
attorney to investigate.
