SwIPING WITH SWORDS.
The Career of 'Sergt. Walsh. the
Competitor of Ross.


Competitor of Ross.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the mounted sword contests to occur at
Calhoun Park, tomorrow, as they will be
the first exhibitions of the kind ever seen
in Minneapolis or the Northwest. Duncan
G. Ross, the athlete, is known all over the
country from his wrestling exploits. Sergt.
Charles Walsh, his competitor, is much less
widely known, as he has not been so long
in the arena. He is of Irish parentage and
learned to handle the sword from his
father. He fought in the rebellion, being
connected with Sherman's campaign, as a
member of the Eighth Missouri mounted
infantry Fifteenth army corps. The SER
geant is a much smaller man than Ross,
but is credited with being the most
expert swordsman. He has engaged
in several contests, the most not
able of which are those he had
with Ross. At San Francisco, on April %,
he won the championship medal from Ross.
Their next contest was at Denver, which
Ross won. the score standing II to 6 in
Walsh's favor. when Walsh was disabled
by blow on the head Being unable to
continue, the combat was awarded to Ross.
They next met in Washington, D. c.,
WHICH ScoIe was won ny w alSn the score De-
ing to 5. Meantime Walsh met and de-
feated all corners. The last time these
gladiators met was at Chicago in three
days tournament. Ross was defeated by
Walsh the first day. but Ross eventually
won the tournament and the championship.
Sergt. Walsh arrived in Minneapolis yes
terday and is stopping at the st. James.
He says he will meet all corners. The con-
test, which takes place Thursday, will be
for the championship of the world.

FOUGHT TO A FINISH.
Two Miners Pound Each Other
Through Eleven Hard Fought
Rounds.

Two Miners Pound Each Other
Through Eleven Hard Fought
Rounds.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 27.--A Barray's
station, Pa, special says; One of the most
quietly arranged prize fights witnessed in
this section for years took place about one
mile distant from this place. The prin-
cipals in the affair were miners named
Jimmy Sullivan, better known as
''Bucky," and Miles McGurk. Sullivan is
80 years of age, six feet in height and
weighs ITO pounds. McGurk is 80 years Old,
weighs 100 pounds and stands almost six
feet. A jealousy has always existed be-
tween the two men and their friends as to
who is the better man. Last evening it
was decided to fight it out there and then.
As the night was dark miners lamps were
secured and the party went to an old mine
breach in the mountain, inside of which
the fight took place. The breach is about
twenty-five feet deep, several hundred feet
wide, and to avoid detection the crowd
went down to the sandy bottom of the hole,
hung up lamps around the rugged sides and
arranged the ring. Dick Smith was chosen
referee. Time was called and the two men
shook hands. Eleven rounds were fought,
during which
BOTH WE'RE TERRIBLY PUNISHED.
In the first round McGurk struck Sulli-
van on the neck, turning him around like
top. Sullivan eyed his man more cautiously
in the second round and closed McGurk's
right eye with terrific Highlander. The
third was characterized by desperate slug
ging equally divided. In the fourth and
fifth some hard mitigating was done.
During these rounds Sullivan's nose was
broken by well directed and powerful
blow from McGurk. The sixth and seventh
were light ones, the men sparring for
wind. In the eighth Sullivan forced the
fighting, and knocked McGurk clean off his
feet. In the ninth McGurk was groggy,
but game, and got in two hard ones on his
opponents nose. In the tenth McGurk
was again knocked senseless by his adver-
sary. The crowd soon dispersed. Sullivan
came here from Chicago several years ago,
and claims he is not only an acquaintance
but relative of the slugger from Boston,
to whom he bears resemblance.

FRIGHTFUL MISTAKE.
A Woman SprinkIes Herself With
Sulphuric Acid, Thinking it Holy

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 27.-Mrs. John
Prill, of South Twenth-eight street, made
a mistake yesterday which may cost her
her eyesight and disigure her face for lite
She became greatly frightened when the
terrible storm which passed over this sec
ton broke in its fury, and she ran up to her
bed chamber for vase of holy water with
which to sprinkle herself, in the hope that
In that way she mig Int ward off the impend-
ing danger. In the excitement of the mo-
ment and the semi-darkness of the room,
she missed the bottle in which the water
was kept and seized one filled with sui
phuric acid. Mrs. Prill was nervous and
was not sparing with the terrible fluid but
dashed it i'll her face and over her head in
considerable quantity. The first intimation
she had was the terrible pain which the
acid inflicted. She cried out almost instantly
in her anguish and the neighbors, hearing
her cries, ran in to see what was the mat
ter. They found the lady lying on the
floor almost crazed with pain. Great red
blotches, the work of the acid, were al
ready appearing on her face and neck 1t
was some time before the situation was un-
derStood. but when it was everything pos
Sible was done to stop the work of the de-
stroying agent. The physicians who at
tended Mrs Prill say she will i'll all proba-
bility lose her eyesight, and that her face
will be disfgured. The acid had eaten into
the flesh before its course was stayed.

TURNED INTO STONE.
The Fate of a Man who BIasphemed
A Yarn with a Moral.

Special to the Globe
LIMA, O.. July 27.-The following re-
markable story was related by reliable
farmer who lives near the county line be-
tween this and Mercer county: Last week
while at work in the fields, farmer by the
name OF Sylvester Redyan, owner of several
hundred acres of fine farming land in
Mercer county, began cursing in most
shocking manner about the drought injur-
ing his crop. and wound up with an oath
that he would cut Gods heart out if he
would come down. No sooner were the
words uttered than vivid streak of fire re-
sembling lightning came down from the
cloudless sky and struck Redyan. His
companions who were in the harvest field
with him were rendered insensible for sew
eral minutes. When they recovered they
were nearly frightened to death at the sight
which presented itself. Redyan, the man
who just few seconds before had uttered the
terrible curse had been transformed into
stone and lay on the ground near where he
had stood when he made the shocking offer
to the Supreme Being, His clothes had
been burned from him and the lips were
parted in the stone figure just as Redyan
had finished the oath. An awful heat arose
from the piece of stone, and was so intense
that no person could go near it. While the
story is so strange that it may not be be-
lieved, its truth is vouched for by reliable
men of that vicinity. Each of them had
been to the place and seen the TRANSPORTED
body and do not hesitate to say that every
word OF the account is correct. Redyan
was man about 40 years of age, and had
a family of wife and five children, who
are nearly wild with grief. Redyan was
addicted to swearing and could scarcely
speak word without accompanying it with
an oath. The country near where the af-
fair happened is not very thickly popu-
lated, which accounts for the remarkable
transaction not being given to the public

The Maroons of Minneapolis, new base

ers: John Hart manager and captain; Howie.
pitcher; Reed, first base; Belden, second
base; O'Donnell, short stop; Heffelfnger,
third base; Heating, left; Robinson, right,
and Brown, center field. The Maroons are
open to challenges from any amateur team
in the state.
The Western National league clubs begin
playing in the East to-day as follows: De-
troit at Washington, Chicago at. Boston, st.
Louis at New York and Kansas City at Phila-

There is not much probability of meeting
between Jerry Murphy, the Minneapolis
lightweight, and Tommy Warren; as the lat
ter considers the disparity in their weight too
great.
The only Northwestern league game to be
played to-day is that between Duluth and
Minneapolis at Minneapolis.

WASHINGTON. July 27.-The Anticipated
return of Sunset Cox to his home and re-
Stunning seat in the house of representa-
tives made him the subject of conversation
in which Senators Beck, Voorhees, and
Butler participated VOORHEES, had the
floor. He was reviewing some of the mem
orable scenes while he served as member
of the house. The most exciting. he
said, was the thirty-seventh congress.
1t was On the 30th of January.
1864. Cox was member of the house and
at the time represented an Ohio district.
Owen LovejOy was member from Illinois.
He was man of passion and forcible in
argument. Cox and Lovejoy had locked
horns. LoveiOy made one of his charac-
teristic speeches. 1t was in degree per-
sonal to Cox and it irritated him the more
because Lovejoy, who was a large man
physically, had sneeringly alluded to the
stature of the Ohio member. When Cox
got the floor to reply he made very brief
but whitening speech, repelling the imputa-
ton on his physical proportions and con-
cluded with the following verse. which he
dedicated as fitting epitaph to the Illinois
member:
Deuealu tnlS StoHe OWeH LoVelOy lies,
Little in everything except in size.
What though his burly body fills this hole
Yet through helPs keyhole crept his little
soul.
The speech was such whitening shot at
Mr.. Lovejoy. that political friends of the
then Ohio member subscribed at once for
100, 600 copies. On the fly leaf of the
speech in pamphlet form, ''admiring
friends" added:
This Owen Lovejoy, who died of late,
Straightway went to heavens gate,
There Gabriel met him with a club,
And knocked him back to Beelzebub.

assets consist of stock on hand
worth about $4,000. book accounts
amounting to $4,000 and machinery
that cost 500, 900. The causes of the fail
nre as stated by the secretary of the COM
pany are the steady depreciation in the val
ues of stock that has been going on for
from six to nine months, the Gould strike
that totally destroyed the Texas and South
west trade and incidentally the depression
caused by the local labor troubles and the
adoption by the company of the eight-hour
plan. This company was the first tobacco
manufacturing establishment in the country
to adopt eight hours as days work. No
corresponding reduction in wages was
made. The company had pay roll of
