PHILADELPHIA, February 2S.-A savage
and unequal fight, for $50 a side, took place
yesterday morning, soon after daybreak,
between "Chap" Horter, aged 90, and Frank
Garry, aged 45, both Of Port Richmond.
The brutal contest took place in rear room
Of q saloon not far from Third and Race
streets, and was witnessed by twelve spec.
tators, all Of whom had been drinking free

ing in general fight among them.
selves before the main fight had ended
The men simply took of their coats and
vests, and, after having thegloyes adjusted,
went to work. Horter was the first
to lead and struck bis opponent q light
blow on the nose. 1t was returned with a
resounding thump in the chest. Horter
led again and struck Garry hard blow in
the jaw. This ended the round as the
round, as the two seconds came to blows
themselves regarding an alleged foul. After
they were separated the principals cameto
thescratchfor the second round. The bur
ly Epglishman, although limping on bis
rheumatic leg, managed TO deal his OPP
ponent two terrific blows in the
face, which were weakly returned, and
Horter fell into hissecond's q arms. Another
row ensued between Kenworthy and
Byrnes, in which three Of the spectators
took part, and for five minutes there was
such pandemonium that one man ran
out OF the place, fearing the noise would
attract the attention OF the police. Before
the third round the men removed the
gloves and fought with bare knuckles.
This round resulted in Hofter being ter
ribly beaten. In'the fourth round he sue
ceeded in getting in a blow on Garry's
eye, closing it up, but in return received a
round.hander in the ear, knocking him
among the spectators. The fifth round
almost ended the battle Horter's
face was almost pounded into jelly, and
and when released from ''chancery" he fell
to the floor as limp as dish rag. The
sixth and last round resulted in Horter
being battered TO insensibility, and his
second threw up the sponge. - VA an
Then the lookers.on began general
fight. Everybody was every body's oppo-
nent, and the battle ragged SO furiously that
the saloon keeper threatened the crowd
with loaded revolver. After comparative
quiet had been restored Horter, was put TO
bed and Garry went home In back. It
is probable that the unequally matched
men will again come together, and fight
the feud out in staked ring for heavier
stakes. ..s.l........f,. t,..,...,

seventy Lumbcrmen Poisoned.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, February 2S-A lum-
herman, Alfred Eversen, arrived yesterday
from Manistee and reported to Captain
John Fitzgerald that seventy men had been
poisoned to death on Sunday in lumber
camp near Glencoe, Mich. A new cook
had Just begun work, and the first batch
Of biscuits he mixed with a can Of strych-
nine used to poison wolves He mistook
the poison for baking powder. The biscuits
were eaten by every man in the camp,
and seventy out Of eighty died in horrible
agony. No physician was near and nobody
familiar with antidotes was at hand. The
story seems improbable, but 1t Is given for
what it is worth. Captain Fitzgerald says
that the news comes from a very trust
worthy source, aud he believes that it is
true. The camp Is twenty miles from tele
graphic communication in the forest.

NORFOLK, February 2s.--Gov. Cameron,
Adjutant General Mcdonald and Major II.
@. Carter, Of the First Battalion State Ar.
tillery, arrived this evening to arrange an
expedition against the illegal oyster dredg.
ers in the waters Of Virginia. The Norfolk

fantry), Governor Cameron, Generals V.
D. Groner and McD Donald, Maj. Carter and
Col. Hudgins, with the Fourth Artillery,
will comprise the expedition. They
will leave tonight in the steam
ers Victoria ]. Peed and Pamlico. The
objective point OF attack Is unknown, as
the orders have not been made public.
For some time complaints have been made
to the State authorities OF depredations by
foreign dredgers from both the eastern and
western shores Of Chesapeake Bay, and it
is understood that arms have already been
sent to 0nancock, Accomac county, anti
cipating another war against. the piratical
oystermen. It's likely that this time the
Governor will proceed as far as the Potomac
river on one side Of the Chesapeake bound
ary line OF Virginia and Maryland on the
other. Sheriff Slade, Of Norfolk, will ac-
company the party, and from all appear
ances Governor Cameron has determined
that the depredators shall not escape as
easily as they did last year.

In addition to the property scheduled in

900 shares Of the San Antonio, 5000 shares
