DEMPSEY BEATS RITZ.

Three Quarters of IL Length.

On the Schuylkill, I'll Minutes 2434 Seconds,
Three Quarters of II Length.
/ Special Telegram to the Sunday Register.
PHILADELPHIA, October 9.-Pat Demp'
sey won the three mile single scull race
from John Ritz at Showmont on the
Schuylkill to-day in p minutes 2ii sec
onds by three fOurths of n length. The
water was rs smooth as q lake and the
Oarsmen had every Indictment to V ictOry
| except spectators, The rival attraction
of base ball called many interested in
sports to the diamond. While the old er-
rOr of trying to get the attendance of the
public without letting the public know
through the newspapers what is going on,
explains the paltry hundred that gathered
to see the start.
Harrington Fitzgerald acted rs referee,
and JOS. Siebert as Judge ut the finish.
w. A, Rennert was time keeper for Ritz
and Ellis Ward for Dempsey. Both men
were in splendid condition andat the word
"GOn Mt 5:O3 caught the water nearly at
the same time. Ritz soon got n lead how
ever, which he held for about Il mile, when
Dempsey seemed to gather fresh strength,
and came tearing down thcriver with that
powerful stroke of his. Inch by
inch the PROV of his shell forced along by
the side OF Ritz's boat and finally took the
lead. lie held it well, made the turn and
came toward the finish closely followed by
Ritz. The latter gained gradually on
Dempsey and many thought he would
pass him. The last quarter was very
closely contested. But Dempsey managed
to hold his place and came over the line in
the time given. The race was for 5000 a
side.

Captain Black in front of the court room
and assembled the stairs with him Parsons
placed his hand a~ffectionately on Captain
Blacks shoulder and spoke In q more gen
tie voice.
HAS NOTHING TO REGRET.
He concluded holding up his head
proudly: "Even now / have nothing to
regret" He had spoken continuously
five hours and forty minutes and he SAM
into his seat exhausted. Judge Gary was
about to pronounce sentence when Capt.
Black desired that a motion in arrest
of Judgment should be entered. MI.
Grinnell having assured him that no tech
nical matters should interfere with the de-
PENDANTS rights, the Court proceeded to
execute the solemn duty devolvlng on
him.
SENTENCED TO DEATH.
In brief but impressive words, and IL
tones which at any time would have com
manded respectful attention, the Judge
gave fitting expression to the judgment
of the Court. His face worked convul'
sively when he began, and when he
reached the word Hang" he fall
tered and could with difficulty
utter, It'll you-are-dead."
The last words were scarcely audible.
The date fixed was the third of December
A deep hum arose, and every spectator
was on his feet to get a glimpse OF the
prisoners. Captain Black arose tc
give some technical point when
silence was restored for a moment.
When the matter was decided the prison
ers rose and began slowly to walk out OF
the court room with the Bailitfs who had
them in charge.
THE PRISONERS,
who had turned to listen to the sentence
with added pallOr, exhibited no other emo,
ton on hearing the fatal words. As they
rose Mrs. Parsons came up and kissed
her husband. Mrs. Ames also kissed
Parsons on the cheek. The relatives OF
the other defendants wrung their hands,
but none of the I'M shed n tear. They
aimed to cheer up the condemned men by
a show of fortitude. The condemned
men passed slowly out of court to
the Jail. AS, Parsons passed some
police officers he drew his hand across his
throat in a significant manner. Whether
the motion had reference to his W fate
or was intended as 4 prediction of the fate
awaiting them they could not tell.

OFF TO CANADA
with 100000 Bogus Receipts Behind
4 big Packing Firm Fails.

n tblS tachlnS tlTIl tiS
CHICAGO, October 9.-An afternoon
paper says: n. NJ. Necld, partner in the
well known packing house of. c. Fergu'
son & Co. is in Canada. He has issued
bogus ware house receipts for people az
gregating 800, 600. lie has practically
bursted the firm. The loss will fall alto
cether on the banks, $780, GOO on n single
New York bank.
"Thc banks here who lose by it," said a
prominent director, ''arc all rich, and will
not know the loss. The worst loss is OH q
New York institution. Nceld left for Can
ada night before last and no one has heard
from him.
Necld was a fine looking nan ofabout 4
years. He was the managing partner in
the firm of j. G. Ferguson Go, which was
a very old and rich one
and came originally from indianapolis.
lie has been a big s%pecnlatOr in bonds and
in stocks and has been wrong for a long
time. The biggest loss has been in Wall
street. No particulars at all are yet OBJ
tainable concerning the failure. Mr.. Fer
CURSOR is locked in his private office and
refuses to make any statements whatever
until later in the day, after he has had
an opportunity to ascertain exactly the
extent ofthe disaster that has overtaken
the firm. The firm of Fl. Ferguson & Co.
is an old one and stood high. They own
ed q warehouse and this was
made regular" n short time ago. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Neeld issued n number of
fraudulent warehouse receipts and that
Chicago and New York banks loaned
money on them TO the extent above stated.
Neeld was one of the Directors Of the
Chicago Board of Trade.
The firm was composed Of j. c. Fergu-
son, Ed. Ferguson, "A son-in-law of Goodbidy,
of LiverpoOl; Neeld, a son-in-law, anda Mr..
Inward, also a sOn-in-law. The latter
had his headquarters ut New York and
from that place managed the shipment.
For that reason some banking was done
there. The New Corn Exchange Bank is a
heavy loser. Mrs. J.. {. Ferguson was
very wealthy and loaned money to start
the house here. She now holds a mort
gage on it. The defalcatiOn grew, it is
believed, through u year and it is pre-
Sumed that it started with no really dis
honest motive.

A Biz Snake Ioose.

NEW YORK, October "a boa-constric-
tor about 10 feetin length contained in a
large wooden box was being conveyed from
the Hamburg Steamship pier to the estab-
lishment of Richie Bros, 30 Chatham
street shortly before noon to-day and
when opposite the City Hall Park it was
freed by the lid becoming displaced. The
reptile glided into the Park and tried to
get into a grass plot. There was consid-
cradle excitement until six men succeeded
in throwing a bag over its head, and car
rying it the remainder Of the distance.
Fully 1000 people were present when the
reptile was recaptured.

SToCKs-The great majority Of the
Transactions of the morning were confined
to New England, Reading and Western
Union, and IN the afternoon Pacific Mail
attracted considerable attention, and I'm
der great pressure to sell, declined mater
tally. The opening prices showed irregu-
lar changes, the difference being generally
from to !, while New England
was down 3 per cent. The prin-
cipal activity in the morning was in
New England. Reading and Western
Union. The former, after several violent
fluctuations, which left it..about per cent.
below, the opening price, and having in
the meantime touched both highest and
lowest for to-day, became weak, and
Reading sympathized to a certain extent.
The remainder ofthe list was generally firm
until toward noon, when it sagged of.
Pacific Mail at this time became decidedly
weak and so continued until near the close,
at which time a general rally took place.
The market closed fairly firm, close TO the

giving him none. On the third day they
killed him and dragged the body into the
backyard where it was burned. The body
was exhumed by the Coroner. 1t was
found that the skull was crushed in three
places. The strangest past Of the story is
that for three weeks fully fifty men knew
Of the murder, talked of it among them
selves and yet stood in such mortal dread
of Furlong that they didn't dare tell the
story till his suicide removed all danger.
The two accomplices in the murder have
fled the country.

PARSONS GROWS TIREsoME.


Parsons said his physical condition was
not so good rs it had been once and he felt
exhausted. He was told to 90 on and no
limit as to time would be placed upon him.
Parsons resumed but, though ut times,
dramatic, his speech was in the main pure
~ a~rgumentative. Many got up and went
out for lunch, but the Court and Parsons
had to stay. Most of the time after one
o'clock, when both Parsons and everybody
in the court except the Judge was
hungry and tired out and anxious for q
recess, the speech was wearisOme in the
extreme. The monotony was relieved
lonce in q while by q remark
which revived the interest. He walked up
every policeman in the room by saying
that a mans standing on the force de-
pended on his clubbing, and clubbing con-
stantly. His motto must be "Hit
everything in sight" if he would
have preierment. When he had
finished speaking from his notes, Parsons
entered upon an account of what he knew
about the Haymarket meeting, and of his
movements Immediately afterward, up
to the time when he surrendered himself
in court. When he began this portion OF
