A Savage Glove Ftxht-The Negro Boxer


 Smith Knocked Out i'm Two Rounds.
 NEW YoRK, Aug. 16.-Standing room even was at a premium at Harry Hills where c. A. 0. Smith, the colored boxing champion, and Jack Stewart, late of Glasgow, but now of Canada, met to contend in six rounds un- der the regular Marquis of Queensbury rules with large soft gloves for a purse of $500. Strange to say the affair turned out to be a very scientific display, and although only two rounds were fought which lasted but five minutes and twenty y-fiye seconds in all, both contestants were badly punished and much blood was drawn from each of the principals. The best of order was kept, but the excite ment was intense. Before the big guns were introduced there were some excellent set-tos between well known experts and in more than one case they degenerated into regular slugging matches. All being in readiness for the event of the afternoon the stage was cleared of the small fry and the preliminaries for the regular glove contest arranged. First the gloves were brought on and examined. They were great big pillow-like affairs and looked as though they would not hurt baby, but they were destined to infict some heavy punishment in very short time. The ex- animation of the hand covering having been pronounced satisfactory the principals were

Finally it is said Vanderbilt can control the Dutch stock through Dulman and that if he is willing to pay enough for it he can get sufficient English stock to make up Controlling inter ank

The Striking storsm.n at Brooklyn.

BROOKLYN, Aug. 16.-A meeting of the Storemens Mutual Protective association, which organized on Tuesday night, was held this evening at Irving Hall. Between three and four hundred determined looking men were present and large number stepped up to the platform and enrolled their names. Patrick Carney, the president, counselled the men to refrain from the commitment of any act which would disgrace the association. He told them to be resolute and in a few days Woodruff $ Mclean would be, glad to have them back to work. There are about three hundred members of this association and about all of them have struck. The president stated that the men at the Frank lin stores, although receiving 25 cents an hour, had struck because Woodruff & Mo- Lean had sent orders to be filled and the men wanted to show their sympathy with the strikers

The Electrical Exposition Opened.
 VIENNA Aug. 16.-The formal opening of the long delayed International Electrical ex- position took place at last to-day, having been postponed from July 25th, the time for preparation having been insufficient. The scene was brilliant one and the display is excellent, although probably not what the commissioners had at first hoped to make it. There was brilliant representation from court circles and the attendance was largely made up of Americans and other summer tourists, who had made special efforts to pro- cure cards. The formal ceremonies were presided over by the Hrchduke Rudolph, Prince Imperial. The American exhibit is a creditable one, but by no means the best.

The Hall Time L0ck-A Suit for Infringe.
 ment by the Yale Lock Manufacturing
 Company.
 BOSTON, Aug. 16.-Judge Lowell to-day granted an injunction in an important suit of the Yale Lock Manufacturing company and Sargent and Greenleaf against the Hall Safe and Lock company for infringement by the use of Hall time lock placed upon g safe of the Berkshire National bank. The suit was brought upon two patents, one of which was sustained, while the other was declared to be invalid. The patent sustained is re- garded as more important because it covers the use of device which enabled the banker to set the lock so that it will lock the door at any desired time after the door is closed All the Hall locks now in use have this feature and there is therefore likely to be stir among those using the locks as the owners of the patent intend to assert their rights and have always warned bankers that they were rendering themselves liable by the use of in- fringing devices

The Traitor McDermott-Rossa and the Other Patriots Completely Fooled by
 the Spy.
 BRooKLYN, Aug. 16.-Additional facts con- tinue to come out concerning James McDer- mott and his triple relations to the English police authorities, American nationalists and the Irish dynamiters. The Clam Gael roundly abuses O'Donovan Rossa for having given McDermott his confidence and accuse him of having given him access to the inner circles in Ireland. To-day RossR publishes an emphatic letter denying that he ever gave MeDermott his confidence or introduced him to anybody connected with the dynamite par ty abroad He says he mistrusted him from their first acquaintance and that it was with some hesitancy and only after the written authority of the owner of the Brooklyn Un- ion to represent that paper abroad that he gave him letter of authority to correspond for the United IriShman. He had no susp1sS cion that McDermott would under any cIrcum- stances be able to use such matter to worm his way into confidential relations with the leaders on the other side. Ex-Assemblyman John McGroarty, whose place was frequent ed by the alleged spy, says he was totally de- ceived by him, but did not compromise him. 9oIt any f0Et09f 6n8u OH dAbWck4uS ooLbnAA letters which would have been left unan- swered had he known his true character. Suspicion was first aroused by the number of aliases he thought it necessary to use and by the contradictory statements he made of the purpose of his visits to England, France and Canada. One of the letters asked incidentally when Robert Noonan, a mutual friend, would sail for Europe. McC4roarty, not able to answer definitely, showed the letter to Noonan, who exclaimed, ttYou have done me the greatest favor one man could do another. You have saved my life. have purchased passage tickets for myself and wife, but we shall not go now. eMcDermott was endeavoring to deliver him to the English dstectiVes. Noonan collected evidence against MeDermott, accused him of being spy and murderer when he next met him and offered to prove it, McDermott said he would clear himself in 8 few hours, disappeared and was only next heard or when arrested at Liverpool

brought before the assemblage. First Jack Stewart of Canada and his two seconds Andy Hanly and Steve Taylor paid their respects to the gathering. Then 0. A. O. Smith, &C.,
 companied by George Taylor and Charley
 Williams, came out. They were both fine
 specimens of manhood. but the very anti
 podes of each other. Smith was black,
 short and heavy built with great knots of
 muscle, while Stewart was white, tall and
 slin, but sinewy to degree. Billy O'Brien
 was selected referee and Harry Hill time
 keeper. Simultaneously with the call of
 time the men shook hands and no sooner
 was this done than Smith led of at the face
 with his left. Stewart retaliated
 heavily in the stomach. Then
 1t was punch for punch all
 over theSring, Smith aiming his tremendous
 blows at the face, while Stewart was busy
 swinging his sledge-hammer blows at his an-
 tagonist's stomach and ribs. Occasionally he
 tried to lead for the face but finding that
 Smith hit with him he went back to the old
 and now rapidly becoming sore spot. Once Smith hit Stewart full in the nose and he staggered back dazed, but recovering himself he met the darkey with a straight left-hander on the nose
 which sent the blood squirting five 1eSs 1n0 uRnt1nR then became 1uf1OuS, the colored gladiator gradually failing, but stillhe hit out left and right and administered some heavy punishment. He went to his corner before the three minutes were up, but im- mediately resumed hostilities when told that time had not expired. He was very tired and looked longingiS at the chair into which he sank soon time was called. The minutes rest between the rounds did both men much good and they went at each other like pair of tigers as soon as they were de.
 ivered at the scratch. Stewart opened the ball by hard hit in the pit of the stomach, Smith still foolishly fighting at the head and face. He fought gamely, but once or twice turned his back as though to avoid the show, CT of blows that fell on him. This was fatal as Stewart rushed at him, planting both hands in the face and ribs without return. Smith tried all he knew to turn the tables in his favor, but he could do little more than push and paw. Seeing how matters stood Stewart changed his tactics by fighting at the head and face. This seemed to bewilder the dar- key, who gradually retreated to his own corner, into which he was driven all in . heap and refusing to carry on the unequal strife his seconds threw up the sponge, Stew art being hailed the winner in orthodox style.
