PITrsBURG, PA, Mar 22.--The smoky city
is gaining considerable notoriety as prize
fighting center. Every week we have three
or four of them, and our dailios now find it
necessary to employ special man to shadow
the short-haired fraternity and to furnish
their readers with tho full particulars of the
proceedings within the magic circle. There
was one in the east end last night, particulars
of which were not made public until evening
The principals were Patrick Sweont and John
ME Murphy, for a purse of $500. The fight
was originally arranged between Murphy and
Jimmy WcUden, of the Weedon- Maloney melee
of last June, but as the latter did not
make his appearance Sweeny volunteered to
act as asubstitute. In the first round Sweeny's
nose was broken. Sweeny has been sick for
somo time but manfully came to the scratch
for tho second time, and was again noored. In
the third and fourth rounds he shared the
same fate When time was called for the
fifth round Sweeny stood up, but, after II little
party with his friends, was induced to retro.
Sweeny is only Is years of age, but handles
his fists scientifically. Tonight he announces
his intention of challenging Murphy to sec
ond combat.

Verdict.

partially support her. She said that she
had lived with Haverstick since last May,
having been compelled to leave her husband
after many quarrels, and when he would not
let her come into his house. She had con-
sented to go with her brother to Reno, New,
and on the afternoon of the tragedy talked
with him in the presence of Haverstick of
the matter. That evening all three talked
over the matter. Suddenly Havorstick threw
oil his coat, and seizing something flung it at
her brother. She rushed between them, aud
the shot was fired. Haverstick, she reluct-
antly admitted, had quarreled with her that
evening and slapped her face, but" she
added, che didn't mean to hurt me-"
Conkling was then called, and told the
story of his coming here to effect a reconcilia-
tion between his sister and her husband, or to
take her home with him, They We're to go
to Lebanon, Pa, TO SEQ her children, and
thence to Reno. On Monday evening when
he called on his sister he found her crying
after the quarrel with Haverstick. She
begged him to take her away, and then the
fatal quarrel occurred His story of the oc-
currence did not differ from that already
published. The inquest was then closed, and
Mrs. Uhler was by her consent taken to the
office of her brothers counsel, and thence TO
an uptown hotel. The jury found that
Conkiing had killed Haverstick by firing a
pistol the shot being fired under great PROV
ocation." Bail was refused, and the prisoner
