FOUGHT TO \ FINISH.
Terrible Fisticuf Match in the Anthl a
cite REGIONS.


CUMBODE, Pa, August 2l.-In the an.
thracite regions the settlement of pers onal
disputes has generally been decided by
pugilistic science. One of the worst
tights of this description occurred last
night on Shoo-Fly Hill, some miles from
here. VIM. Murrah and Chas. Devinney
cousins, met in the ring In the crowd
there were at least fifty women. After the
rules had been read the men shook hands
and the fun began. Murrah got first
blood and first knock down, but weak
ened in the fourth round, and from the
eleventh to the twenty.ilrst round was
knocked down ten times. In the twenty
fifth round he expressed his willingness
to quit, but his seconds under-estimated
Devinney's waning strength and insisted
on two more rounds. They finally cot
him to finish the twenty ninth, when he
insisted on throwing up the sponge.
Murrah is laid up from the effects of his
punishment. Though several officers
were in the crowd, no arrests were
made.
