story of No. l33 La Sale street Chicago. the

employer. 1t is supposed that, imbibing

fourth story, where he was found, still warm,
by the janitor. There was no money on the

NEw YORK, June 10.-James Murray and
Benjamin Green, representing the pugilistic
element of Providence, came here last even
ing and went to Coney Island for the purpose
of fighting prize fight for $500 a side and
the light weight championship OF Rhode

in hotel on the island, but after fighting
three rounds the police appeared and took
Murray and his second into custody. The
others scampered off at gait hitherto un-
equaled by man or beast. When asked why
they came all the way from Providence to
fight, one of the roughs said, "There hahn t

Numbers in Nature.

Two or four and its multiplies is the
prevailing number in the lowest orders
OF plants, according to which all the
parts OF the ferns, MOSES, lichens, sea-
weed and fungi are arranged. Three or
the multiple of three is the typical num-
Der OF monoctyledonous or indigenous
plants, without branches and with par
allel veins, to which the grass, the lily
and the palm belong. Five with its
multiples is the model number of the
highest class of plants with branches
and reticulated leaf-veins, to which the
apple and the rose belong. The same
numerical relations may be traced in the
animal kingdom, three being the number
of joints in the typical finger and the
regnant number in the crustacea while
five, In its correspondent geometric
forms, giving the greatest variety con-
sistent with symmetry, prevails among
vertebrate animals, and is of frequent
occurrence among marine forms of life,

to possess mystical virtues before it was
discovered IN nature, one, two, three,
five, eight, thirteen, twenty-one, thirty

added together give the succeeding one.

Rare Real Estate Opportunities.

The listof property which P. T. Kayanagh
offers at auction this morning, is especially
notable. The guardian sale of the elegant
Heathe residence which is to take place on the
22d, will undoubtedly attract much att
tention as it is one of the
finestresidences in the city. It's location is
admirable, and it has all the appointments of
a first-class home.
The house and lot on Prairie street, TO be
sold this week. Thursday, is also desirable
property. ~
The property belonging to the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd and the lots in Nelson's addi-
ton to he sold next Saturday are attractive
offers. In fact KaYanagh's list is booming
one.

A Would be Rarey In the Cooler.

The sensation of the first Rice Park concert
of the season, last evening, was the anticls of
an intoxicated Swede mounted upon small
white horse. The horse was merry, nervous
little animal, and the unsteady hand and
doubtful seat of the drunken Swede, but served
to add fear to the excitement of the horse
caused by the music. and the other excit-
inga incidents of the occasion. The result
was that the horse became perfectly wild,
and series of most exciting plung. S,
jumps. etc, ensued, the Swede being final
ly thrown though not losing his hold
of the horse. The affair attracted a great
crowd, and the Swede oblivious of the con-
dition Of his horse, then thoroughly de-
moralized, and in spirit of bravado, re-
mounted, when the circus was renewed. See
ing that the man was irresponsible and that
the horse was being cruelty treated, and also
that there was great danger of some one be-
ing seriously injured by the mad plunges of
the thoroughly demoralized horse, Officer
Brewer at considerable personal risk arrested
the man and lodged him in the cooler.
