JERSEY CITY, y. j.; Feb. 24.-AbOut
4, 600 men gathered tonight 10 witness the
contest between Jack Dempsey and Pete
Mccoy. Chief of Police Murphy, with a
force of fifty men, kept back the surging
crowd from the twenty-fOur-fOOt ring
erected on platform in the corner of the
rink. Among the sporting men present
We're LaBlanche, the Boston marine, with
whom Dempsey Is matched To fight; Tom
BOgue and john Keenan,, also Of Boston;
Gus Tuthill. Dempsey's backer; Tom Ryan,
Johnnie Clarke and Arthur Chambers of
Philadelphia and a host of club men from
New York. Previous TO the opening of
the exhibition, Tom BOgue, manager for
1.-The Marine" said that LaBlanche did
not care to talk about his approaching fight
with Dempsey, but said that it was ex-
pected Dempsey and The Marine" would
meet in a short time. ''If they do" he
said, ''all we ask is fair referee and a fair
decision" The early part of the evening
was taken up with short three-round bouts
between light-weights and with wrestling.
1t was 1880 when Mccoy jumped over the
ropes. He was accompanied by Dan Gill
of Boston and Tom Evans. Dempsey fol-
lowed Immediately and was assisted by Gus
Tuthill and Tom Cleary. w. +. Harding
was chosen time-keeper and Mike Cleary
referee. In the first round Dempsey made
no attempt to fight, but he made three
points to McCOy's one. In the second round
Mccoy got in some good work, but in the
third. fourth and fifth rounds Dempsey
fairly made sport of him and had him
winded. In the sixth and last round Nc
Coy fought for all he was worth, but was
unable to stop Dempsey's body blows and
upper cuts, and McCOy's friends felt re-
lieved when the referee called time La
Blanche sat all the time in the reporters
gallery surrounded by friends, who offered
to wager 81, 900 to $500 that the fight
would be declared a draw. The referee,
however, declared that the fight had been
won by Dempsey. The receipts. which

DULUTH, Feb. 24.-This city is greatly
interested at present, and the local papers
are devOting columns in the question as TO
who will get the valuable franchise across
the bay, which is i'm the power of the village
council to dispose of. The brief history of
the franchise is as follows: In 1870 the
United States congress compelled the viii
lage of Duluth. on account OF its cutting a
canal through Minnesota point, to construct
dyke from Bice's point to Minnesota
point, so Is TO separate the waters of Su-
periOr bay. and not to divert the current Of
the St. Louis river from its natural outlet
through Superior entry. This dyke cost
the Duluth people SlOO, 600, but not pro-
ducing the desired effect. the following con-
greSs IN 1871 ordered il pulled down again,
and 10 appease the wrath OF the DuluthanS
the state of Minnesota granted to the then
village of Duluth, with the privilege to dis
pose of it as it saw lit. the right of way
across the bay on the line of this Dyke
from Rices To Minnesota points, consisting
of piece of land 800 feet wide and about
a mile long. During the dark days of Du-
luth this franchise was supposed to be
about worthless, but, since Duluth has
grown so rapidly, dock property has in
creased in value TO such an extent that this
franchise, at present, is worth something
over half a million dollars. Several COM
panies have been organized within the past
three years To secure this valuable prop
erty. and each time have been opposed by
most of the people, and in some instances
mass meetings have been called to protest
against the council giving away this priv
Ilege. Two years ago 4 company, organ
lied as the Duluth * Transfer
company. nOminally secured from the
then village council this franchise,
but il is considered by good
lawyers that the way they secured it was
not legal. Within the past ten days two
more companies have organized and will try
and get this property. The last company
is composed entirely of ST. Paul capitalists,
with w. l.. Banning at the head. One or
two of these companies are known to be
trying 10 get possession in the interests of
one of the lines of railroads that now have
a corps of engineers in the field locating
their line toward Duluth. 1t is considered
to be very shOrt-sighted policy if this very
valuable property is given away for nothing,
as the case looks at present.

CHICAGO. Feb. ga gentleman con-
nected with the Denver IL Rio Grande this
morning said:
/ saw dispatches last night at the Grand
Pacific which led me TO believe that within
the next forty-eight hours the California rail-
road war will be at an end. The cut is so
wild that the roads cannot afford to keep it
mp. Freights are cut right in two, and pas
senger rates are about one-third what they
were. The executive and administrative
officers Of the differeLt roads are now scat
tered all over the country, but they have
been comforting by wire, and 1 look for a re-
enforcement of the old rates, or at least an
agreement among them TO maintain some rate.
There never was such railroad fighting as
is going on nov among the transcontinen-
tai roads None Of them know just what
they are doing. They don't stick to one
rate long enough to get the news over their
whole line before they make a new one.
Half of the ticket agents at Western points
don't know what rates to make. To-day
there is no change in passenger rates. The
Missouri river roads do not give the ship
pers any rates. They simply send them
over to the transcOntinental roads and
these latter make the rates.

cial agent, .'came in here this morning tC
