A Pennsylvania Prize Fight Of One
Hundred and Fourteen
Rounds,
One OF the Contestants, Shifts tho
Grass no Times, hut Fin

pITrsBuRG, December 4.-Ross Grove,
on the line of the West Pennsylvania rail-
road, nine miles from Allegheny City,
the most brutal and hotly contested
prize fights that ever took place in west
orn Pennsylvania. The principals were
Patrick Moran and James Mccoy. One
hundred and fourteen rounds were
fought in l hour and 80 minutes. The
fight has been on the tapis several
months, and IA for a purse of 5000.
Both mon are pugilists of some
repute, Mccoy having fought several
battles in this vicinity, while Moran has
participated in II number of fights in this
country and England. Mccoy is % years
old and Moran Ok, Owing to the great
difference in g it was thought the
former would have an easy victory and
betting was 2'to | in favor of Mccoy.
Tho encounter was to have taken place
Thanksgiving day, but was postponed
for some reason, and was generally be,
lieved to be off. This afternoon u hun.
dred sporting mon left tho city and ar.
rived at Ross Grove at 3 o'clock. A ring
was marked out but no ropes put up, and
at ia time was called. In the begin
ming Mccoy broke his right wrist, and
for the rest of the battle fought with his
left hand. Both men appeared de-
terminsd to win, and 500 were covered
with blood. After Mccoy broke his
wrist he fought desperately, and sue
ceeded i'll knocking known his antagon-
ist ITO times. In the lllth
round Moran cot i'm n terrific hlow on
McCoy's neck felling him like an OK.
He was picked up and carried to his
corner but was completely dazed and
wanted to stop fighting but his friends
prevailed on him to continue and he

teonth round. Both men were terribly
punished and Mccoy had to be carried
to the train. The fight was with hare

THE TUKN-NEitIIIN

Elects II Full Corps OF Officers.

The annual meeting of the Turn Verein

This society is one of the most sue
cessful if not the most successful society
of any in Omaha at the present time. 1t
has steadily and surely grown up with
the growth of the city, and now numbers
in its ranks nearly n hundred members,
among VIII m are to be found some of our
most pr nnent and popular German iti
ze".s. The principal secret connected
with the great success of this society is
the fact that all the members work in
such perfect harmony that all those petty
jealousies and riyalrIes which tend
to disturb in q NUN Der Oi
cases societies Of this character
are entirely absent and the result is that
all the members pull together to render
their society the grand and undoubted
SUCCESS which has resulted in the brilliant
achievements it has already attained.
The next funniest of the Missouri Val
ley Turn Bezirk will be held in Omaha
in July, 1884, which is a very good thing
not only for the Turner's, but also for the
city of Omaha, and it is to be hoped thai
our citizens will exert themselves to thu
utmost to give the Turner'S a hearty re
ception.

That Peculiar Glow.

For some time past a peculiar glow
has been perceptible in the western sky
at evening and in the eastern sky in the
morning which has every appearance of
being the reflection of a co~niagration
somewhere near. 1t has occasioned con-
siderable comment, and the Virginia
City New Enterprise III speaking of it
says: This light is not formed by the
rays of the sun upon the clouds, but
something in the atmosphere above the
clouds. This has been well observed here
every night. A few days ago the earth
passed through that region of space in
which it was liable to encounter more or
less numerously those cometary frag-
ments which form the November me-
teors. We passed the point where We
should have met with the meteors, and a
very few were seen, yet may We not have
reached the point in the int~erplanetary
space swarming with meteoric matter N
the shape of an im~palpable power, that
which astronomers call cosmical dust z
This dust, catching the slanting rays of
the sun, would produce exactly the effect
now nightly observed here for over u
week. Our Comstock watchmen report
that the same redness is seen mornings.

a large amount, which were held:by the
late commission without its jurisdiction,
has been automatically presented to the
Spanish government. AS the action of
those colonial authorities which has
given rise to those claims was admittedt to
be illegal, full reparation for the injuries
sustained by our citizens should be
no longer delayed. The case OF
