catch-can STYLE but as Moth was then I'M
acquainted with that style Of wrestling he
could not get up match. At Detroit, last
April. Col. J. III. Mclaughlin backed him
for $500 to wrestle Bob Wright at GRECO
Roman. Moth won three straight falls. He
wrestled Muldoon at Cincinnati on Christ
mas last for four hours without fall and
the match was declared draw. At Albion,
Mich, four months ago. he met Col. Nc
Laughlin in mixed match for $3.50 side,
and won. Moth met him again at Ft.
Wayne, Ind. at five styles, soon after,
with the same result. He got three straight
falls from Andre Christol at Greco-Roman,
at Adrian, Mich, four months ago. Moth
met Theodore George, the champion Greco
Roman railroad wrestler, at Madison, Wis,
last summer, and won the match by three
straight falls.

hour and half on one fall. at catch-as-
catch-can, when Ross backed out. He met
and defeated j. j. Lawlor, at Toledo, by
threee straight falls at Graco-R Roman. His
feats in Minneapolis are familiar to all the
readers of the GLOBE. He twice defeated
Mervine Thompson in mixed wrestling con-
tests and also in heavyweight lifting. He
gave Wilkes McDermott FIVE straight falls
in thirty-fve minutes, Graco-Roman style,
and defeated Thomas Cannon in Market
hall last month on foul and one fall.
CANNoN's RECORD.
Cannon was born in Fyldesley, Lanca-
shire, England, April 10, 1852. of Irish
parentage, and when boy worked in the
coal mines, where he soon developed con-
siderable amount Of muscle. He first came
into prominence by defeating Henry Lord,
the light weight champion of England, in
two straight falls at Manchester Royal Oak
grounds, March II, 1869. In April of
the same year he defeated Lord in
a return match at the above grounds
He defeated David Bently at Ince
recreation grounds, near Wigan, July
IS, 1870. He next met Frank Robinson

match he won after tussle of nearly six
hours. He was defeated by Edwin Bibby

feated Edwin Bibby at Farnsworth Nov.
16. 1874.

the Metropolitan police, serving fifteen

sparring at the olympic.

The Barnes-H adley fstic contest at the
Olympic theater last evening called out fair
crowd, though not so large as is usual OH the
occasion Of sparring matches at that place.
These two spared about two weeks ago
for scientific points when Barnes was the
winner. .Hadley was not satisfied with the
decision and wished another match, being
of the opinion that he was better man
than Barnes. Even after last nights de-
cisiOn he has not the least doubt that he is
the more scienced man of the two. All
through the four rounds his face was two
shades darker than it usually is, while his
eyes became much whittier than usual, as
Barnes would continually whack him on

ENGLAND,s BURCHARD.

If the alliterative Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
proves as great an enemy to the GLAD
STONE party in England as the Rev. BURoH-
ARD did to the Republican party in the
United States, the Liberals will regret the
day that Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN was born.
In his Leicester speech Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
said that the defeat of the Liberals in the
boroughs was due to five Ps-priests,
publicans, parsons, Parnellites and pro-
tectionists. If there is any truth in Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN's attempted humor. then
there is the strongest combination against
the Liberals that could be formed in Great
Britain. The strength of the combination
will not be fully developed in this election,

THE report of the commissioner of the
general land Office clearly shows that there
has been good reason for his crusade against
the land sharks. 1t was unavoidable that in
withholding the patents few worthy set
tiers should be inconvenienced, but it was
of still greater Importance that notorious
land thieves should be checkmated.

were badly used up, Dunn's having both
its ears in ribbons.

General Raum Aroused,

Washington, Nov. 12-General Raum
has written the following letter to the
second comptroller, who recently disal-
lowed an item of $3.50 in the generals
accounts:
l see it stated in morning paper that
you rendered decision to the effect that
am held indebted to the United States
for an amount alleged to have been
overpaid as brlgadier-general of the
United States volunteers, and that the
decision is based upon the supposition
that was absent from my command
without leave during portion or all of
the month of March, 1885. i beg to say
that the time | was granted leave of
absence l was performing services of
the second brigade, third division, fif-
teenth army corps, under Gen. Sherman.
When came north reported to Hon.
Il. M. Stanton, secretary of war, and
pointed out that would be able to re-
turn to said command within the time
limited by my leave of absence. AS
Gen. Sherman was then on the South
Carolina campaign the secretary of war
directed that wait at home for orders
and that he would promptly give me a
new assignment as hrigadier-general.
This new instruction was verbal one,
but acted upon by me in perfect conf
dence as to its validity. AS soon as [
received orders reported to Gen. Han
cock at Winchester, Va, and was imme-
diately assigned to command. 1t
never entered my mind tlat was in
the least derelict Of duty, or that was
absenting myself from the service with
out authority. feel great pride in
the honoroble record of service made by
me during the war, and I am unwilling
to lie under the imputation of miecon-
dact respectfully request reopening
of your decision.
