WON EVERY WAGER.
The pointers" q Certain Young
Man Received During Ex-
position Week.

"Did you know that one of Sedalia's best
known young men won many dollars dur
ing Exposition week on pointers he re-
ceived from Mrs. Mclaughlin, the clairvoy
Mt who resides on Ninth street. just east Of
the K. 7. railway track ?" asked certain
Ohio street clerk, yesterday, of BAzOO re-
porter.
The news gatherer replied that he had
no: heard anything In regard to the affair,
when the clerk continued:
"Well, tit fact, nevertheless, and it Is
no longer secret. The party referred to
first visited Mrs. Mclaughlin after reading
the interview a BAzoo man had with her,
and SO impressed was he with what she told
him that he has visited her number OF
times since"
"What do you mean by giving him
edg of slang phrases is quite limited.
"Why, l mean simply this: The morn
ing the Exposition opened he called On the
lady in question and Intercepted her As to
which horses would prove the winners in
the different races. Without the least hes
itation Mrs. Mclaughlin named over the
lucky animals, although in one case she
told him she was not quite positive, but
believed that such and such would be the
result.
"Her interrogation, of course, was hardly
satisfied, for one of the horses she named
he was certain would be beaten. However,
he determined to follow her advice, and ac-
cordingly backed every horse she had
picked out, but only for small amount in
each instance"
swell, how did he come OUT"
"On top, by large majority, for he won
every bet he made. Satisfied with his first
days experience, the clerk called upon the
ciairvoyant each dsy of the fair. and re-
ceived pointers that enabled him to win
quite large sum of money.
'1n addition to the races, the clerk
quizzed the lady as to the result of the Sc
dalia and Jefferson City base ball contest,
on Wednesday last, and on the informa-
ton he received from her, that Sedalia
would win the game by more than two to
one, he scooped in about $40"
"Then the party referred to is q firm be-
lever in Mrs. Mclaughlin?
HE certainly is, although he would
raise old Ned if his name was published
IN connection with what have told you.
There is something in it, though, and when

The Quicksteps, Saturday afternoon, al.

Defiance nine, Of Philadelphia, played the
best fielding game they have played this sea-
son, and came out of the contest with only
three errors--a fly ball which Parker
dropped from over confidence, and fumbled
grounders by Smiley and Barber. With
these exceptions the fielding of the
home nine was perfect, and bril-
liant throughout. Pyle pitched a
great game, and exercised such perfect
judgement that he caught Defiance player
mapping after two good base hits had sent
him around to third base. Cunliffe caught
without an error, while all the felders set
tied down to business in the most practical
and efficient manner. In fact, the Quick
steps showed the audience just what
playing they are capable Of and
If they continue to do as well during the
balance of the season they will make strong
showing in the race for the Interstate pen-
nant. The effects of discipline and hard
practice were plainly apparent, and the re-
suit was satisfactory in the highest degree.
The visitors proved much stronger team
than was expected, and their
fielding, like that of the Quick
steps, was faultless, except in
in one inning, when they became demor-
allied and indulged In some wild throwing.
Their pitcher, Pollard, is a wonder. For
five innings he bothered the Quicksteps com
pletely, but during the balance of the game
they got the hang of his delivery and
pounded him with freedom. He 10 only II
years old, and gives promise of being ter

The Defiance were weak at the bat, and
their record of three base hits with total
of four, shows how effectively Pyle was
working against them.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Good Supplies in the Philadelphia Markets
--ArrivaIs from the South.

--ArriVals from the South.
philadelphia Ledger
The wholesale and retail markets are
pretty well supplied with early vegetables,
for nearly all OF which they are indebted to
the South. The supply of peas is now COM
ing from Virginia in good quantities and
quality, but the traffic in them
is said to be dull owing to the
fact Of the large quantity of canned peas
which are now being thrown on the market
by the Gamers. 1t is said that
canned peas were put up last year
to an extent double that of previous years,
and that in large hotels and restaurants
where the shelling of new peas is quite an
item of expense, especially in the early part
of the season when the price rules high, the
canned goods are used in preference to the
newly sealed. They are bringing $3.50 and
s. per barrel, and retail at from Is to 20
cents per quarter peck.
No new tomatoes ara yet received from
points north of Bermuda and Florida. The
wholesale dealers in some instances report
the receipts as unsatisfactory, much of the
fruit arriving in green state, and liable to
rot before they ripen. A box containing
six quarts, sells for 81. New potatoes come
from Florida and Bermuda, the former sell
ing for IS and $500 per barrel, and the lat
ter at So and $3.50. They retail at 20 and
20 cents per quarter peck. Cabbages, which
come from Florida, Charleston and Norfolk,
have been high, but last week the market
was easier, they selling at 81 so and So per
barrel Good cueumbers, from Florida,
are selling at $3.50 bushel
Lox, aud retail at 5 cents each.
String beans from Florida, savannah and
Charleston are plenty and worth from 50 to
$3.50 bushel, retailing for 25 cents per quar-
ter peck. A few egg plants arrived from
New Orleans last week and were
readily sold at 30 cents each There
was also an. arrival OF peaches from
Florida !; a box containing 6S sold
for $40, few arriving earlier sold for 81
per dozen. The steamer City of Savannah,
arriving from Savannah last Tuesday,
brought 1000 packages of Southern vegeta-
ales. The retail market is well supplied
with rhubarb plant, radshes, onions, aspar-
agus and greens grown on reighborng truck
farms. All vegetables promise large but
rather late yield, in all parts of the sur.
rounding country.

Slightly Imnrovad.

DIR. ]. Paul Lukins, who is suffering with
a severe case of blood poisoning, was Wis
tied Saturday by Charles NJ. Thomas, pro-
fesser of surgery, of Hahamann Medical
College, of Philadelphia, who made a
thorough examination of the sufferer and
also prescribed remedies from which the pa
tient has gained considerable relief, and is
slightly improved, although far from out of
danger. The doctor, while attempting to
put an anatomical specimen in glass jar,
on Monday, cut his thump on the glass, suf-
ficiently to allow the liquid from the speci-
men to poison the wound, He did not take
the trouble to cauterize the wound which
rapidly infiammed, and continued to in
crease until the poison went all through his
system. Prof. Thomas entertained the hope
that his patient will pull through, but ad-
mits that the chances are very much against
him.

Two Men Beat Ebcll Other In SickeninR

CHICAGO, May 20.-A brutal prize fight
too place at o'clock this morning at Shelf
field, suburb of this city. Four hundred
sports were present. The participants were
James Walsh, of Cincinnati, and Thomas
Lynch Of Chicago. Owen McManus, who
fought a hard-gloye fight some time ago
with John Files, assisted by man named
Mcclure, were seconds for Lynch and L.
Murphy and Doc. Cameron, well-known
sport OF New York, acted for Walsh. Jerry
Sullivan acted as referee. The fight was
for $500 stakes, under the London prize
ring rules.
After little cautious feeling, Walsh drew
first blood with a left handler in Lynch's
mouth. In the next seven rounds Walsh
was thrown as many times, and both men
were badly battered. In the ninth round
Walsh received his first severe face blow,
which caught him In the left eye. It was q
heavy blow and the eye began to swell. 1t
was lanced by penkife, and about an
ounce OF blood came forth. From the 10th
to the 9th round Walsh repeatedly
displayed his wrestling powers in throwing
his opponent, and the scene became brutal.
No attempt at guarding was made, and,
with the exception of clinching and little
dodging, the fighting consisted Of heavy
slogging and return work. The body blows
dealt each other sounded sickening.
Even old, seasoned heads turned away at
times, and one man, who claimed to have
seen twenty ring battles, said 1t was the
most desperate battle, except one, he had
ever seen.
From the twenty-seventh to the thirty
fifth round Lynch was knocked down re-
peatedlY, but showed up game to the last.
1t was all punishment for him, while Walsh
was looking better each time. Finally, with
quick, straight, left-handed blow followed
by staggering hit from the right, Walsh
knocked his man into bis corner, and when
time was called and Lynch could not re-
spond, Walsh stood up and was declared the
winner of the fight in thirty-eight rounds.
The "mill" lasted one hour and ten minutes.
Both men looked like chunks of raw meat
but Lynch was in dilapidated condition
and had to be carried to a carriage. The
spectators quickly returned to the city by
rail and river, but the police learned of the
affair, and this afternoon arrested the two
principals, two seconds, and about 90 spec
tators. To-ni<h Walsh and Lynch, looking
like Jumps Of jelly, lie on cots In an armory
cell, while attendants are bathing their
wounds and administering nourishment and
stimulants.

SAVANNAH, Ga, May 20.-An out-of-the-
way hamlet in Laurens county is exercised
over a terrible crime, the details of which
have just been received In this city. On
April Ambrose Lingo disappeared, his
horse returning home riderless. A few days
ago his body was exhumed few feet from
his doorstep. The mystery in which the ap-
parent crime was so long wrapped is solved
by the confession of his wife, who has been
committed by q coroner's jury for the mur-
der. Her story is that her husband was un-
kind to her, and on the evening OF his dis
appearance fayed her with buggy whip
after which he lay down and went to Sleep
Soon afterwards his wife went to make a
fire, carrying in one hand a piece of pine
and in the other hand an axe. After kind
ling the fire she noticed that Ambrose was
lying ON the bed with his hack toward her.
Raising the axe, she stealthily cTept to the
bed and gave him a blow on the head, in
tending to stun him, so that she could get
her things and fee befpre he could arrest
her. She then dropped the weapon, ran off
and concealed herself behind fowl house
to await the result.
After 6 few minutes she returned and
found her husband few feet outside of the
door, lying on the groundin the last agonies
of death. She at once dug shallow hole a
few feet away, dragged him to II and
dumped him in. Then, piling in lot of
pine straw and dirt, she covered the whole
with lot of rails lying near, after which
she went on with her farm work, ploughing
often within few feet of where her victim
