PARLOR ADJUSTMENTS.
A Brutal Prize Fight In a Private

A Brutal Prize Fight In a Private
Residence Near Altoona, Pa.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March, ia
prize fight of thirty-six rounds took
place in the parior Of Col. Rohme's
residence, near Altoona, yesterday
morning, between John O'Eeal of
Pittsburg and James Kohne of Phil
adelphia, for purse of 81 900. O'Neal
was declared tie winner. The battle
was as desperate as any ever wit
messed in Western Pennsylvania.
The fight was the outgrowth of an
old grudge over a lady whom both
loved, and whom O'Neal married. 1t
was witnessed by thirty persons.
When the principals took their
places.in the ring, which had been
chalked OH the carpet, O'Neal offered
his hand to Kohne, but it was refused.
O'Neal then said: "That settles it;
now, if can knock the dayljghts
out of you L will do it, and will have
no mercy, Kohne replied: "You
are at liberty to do so, providing you
can" This ended the preliminaries.
O'Neal let out with risht-hander,
catching Kohne on the nose, and
drew first blood. Kohne did not fall,
however, and for fully five minutes
they slugged away at each other. At
the end OF that time both were ex-
hallsted and returned to their corners
with no apparent advantage on either
side. In the second round, after
fighting about five minutes, O'Nell
succeeded in hitting Kohne in the
mouth, drawing blood and sending
him to the floor. In the third round
no heavy blows were exchanged, and
the round was declared a draw, as
were also the fourth, fifth and sixth.
When time was called for the seventh
round, KOhne came into the ring
with a very determined look in.his
face, and after fighting for a few
minutes, he succeeded in catching
O'Neil: under the chin and foored
him. This caused the Pbiladelphians
to 20 wild, and they probably took
all The money offered by the Pitts
burgers, SOME few going SO far as to
offer odds. The eighth round lasted
ten minutes aud was q fine display OF
science. Each struck viciously at the
other, time and again, with no result
and the referee finally declared
the round draw. Kohne
came to the scratci, the ninth time
with his face wreathed with smiles,
but before he could get into proper
position he Was rolled over on the
floor. O'Neal, flushed with success,
cried out as he came to the scratch
the eleventh time, that he was going
to hit Kohne hard this time, but the
Philadelphian was on his guard, and
O'Neal caught left t-hander that
caused him to fall against the wall.
The eleventh round resulted in
draw, and the three next succeeding
resulted in quick knock downs for
Kohne. In the next three rounds
O'Neal got in his work etfectually.
The nineteenth resulted in q draw,
but in the twentieth O'Neal sent
Kohne to the floor with such force as
to seriously injure his jaw. After
this the feeling was general that
O'Neal was the best man, but Kohne
steod up bravelv fr sixteen rounds
more. At the end of the thirty sixth
round both his eyes were closed and
he was used up SO badly that he was
clad to throw up the sponge. ONeal
escaped with comparatively whole
skin. The mill lasted nearly two
hours.

The RaYerstlck Scandal.

New YORK, March 2O.-The Herald
has the following details OF the Conk-
ling -Haverstick scandal: Haverstick
had brother and mother living in
San Francisco, and received letters
from them almost daily. The report
of this social scandal, of course,
reached the ears of Mrs. Conkling, the
mother of Mrs. Uhler, in San Fran
cisco, and it was at her solicitation
that George COnkling, her son, came
on here from Nevada in the latter
part Of February, to do what he could
to save the family honor and spare
the family pride. He saw Uhler. saw
his sister, saw Haverstick, and saw
Howe & Hummell, who were his
sisters counsel in the suit between
herself and husband. He wanted his
sister either to 60 back to her hus-
band or 20 with him to the vest.
Howe & Hummell advised that either
one of these courses was the best
their client could pursue. Haverstick
claimed that Mrs. Uhler had been
cruelty treated by her husband
and said il they were divorced ne
would marry her. Young Conkllng
said if it came to that he would not
interfere, but in the meantime he
wanted his sister to 60 to Nevada
with him, or to her mother in San
Francisco. Mrs. Uhler was willing
to 90, but Haverstick, somehow, pos
sessed a controlling influence either
upon her fears or her affections. Only
on Saturday did Haverstick and
Conkling meet at Howe & Hammers
office. to discuss what was best to be
done in the affair.
The reporter knew Conkling IN
San francisco, when he was a slight
male youth OF Is or II, and was en-
ployed in an insurance office. ne
called upon him at the Toombs last
night and when Conkling recognized
him he SAID, 1T is strange how many
familiar faces l have seen to-day.
He was located in cell No. 43, ON the
second tier, and as the Toom6s buiid-
inc is crowded, he had to share LIS
cell with the Allen brothers. Conk-
said after leaving the insurance 6usi-
ness he went into the brokerage busl-
ness and was for some time IN the
employ of James r. Keene, when ne
was in San Francisco: then ne De-
came connected with the government
survey in Nevada and lived in Reno.
E He has a wife but no children.
