A FURIOUS SW ORD CONTEST.
Duncan Ross Loses His Head and
Makes a Fierce Onslaught on His
Opponent.
WASHINGTON, July S.-Duncan G. Ross,
the we'll known athlete, and Sergeant Walsh
of the Fifth United States artillery entertain
ed about one thousand people in Athletic
park this afternoon with sword contest on
horseback. Eight rounds were fought,
Walsh winning five and Ross three. Both
were we'll protected by armor and at the
so und of bugle rushed at each other at full
gallop. At the end of the seventh round
Walsh had secured four and Ross
three points. The eighth round was
hot one and ended with
bloodshed. The horses approached each 9th
er at full speed, their heads nearly touching.
Walsh acted on the defensive. The horse
men circled around each other, slashing and
thrusting at each other until Walsh made a
backhanded cut that caught Ross on the
sword arm and left an ugly cut on his wrist.
The bugler sounded the recall, but Ross was
apparently too Infatuated to stop and slashed
vigorously at Walsh who called on him to
stop while he warded off the blows. Ross
kept on and hit Walsh twice on the side,
once on the side of the head and again on
the arm, the last blow passing through the
armor and drawing blood. Walshs horse
stumbled and fell on his rider. The police
then interfered, arrested Ross and look him
to the station house, where he left collateral
to answer charge of assault and battery.

RATES FOR COAL FREIGHTs.
Vessel Owners Resist the Effort t.
Lower Rates.

Lower Rates.
PHILADELPHIA, July Slightly six vessel
owners, captains and ship brokers represent
ing the whole shipping interest OF Philadel-
phia met to-day in the rooms of the vessel
owners association to take action against the
combined efforts of the eastern coal receivers
to reduce the freights below the minimum
rates. Commissioner Petit said the associa-
ton would resist the endeavor 'tooth and
nail' and rather than accede to their de-
mands they would order tie. He said six
vessels were chartered in Baltimore yesterday
to load for Chesapeake ports at minimum
this port without any cargo. An effort was
made in New York to break through their
rates and since the establishment of rates
not one single violation has been reported.
The Philadelphia & Reading road are the
strongest backs the association has at pres
emit. A captain said that their adversaries
had Just taken time when the country was
ripe with labor troubles to break up the as
ISOLATION and he further said he would
tie the vessels up rather than ac-
cept low rates. Captain Jesse Murdoch
been started at the very lowest rates and the
only way in which to maintain their rights
was to stand firm 9, and he considered it their
duty to stand up for their rights and protect
themselves. Captain McElwee said the cap
tain of the schooner Grace Green, which is a
non association vessel, showed him an asso-
citation bill of lading and wanted to know if
he was entitled to such a bill. Mr..
Petit answered that it was a question
for a lawyer to decide. The captain said he
intended to take load of coal to New York
for fifty cents ton. A motion was made by
Mr.. Smith that the vessels in the association
stand firm by the bill of lading and mini
mum rates If not obtained in Philadelphia,
seek other ports. Also that captains and
brokers take no freight under the minimum
rates and solicit no orders for less than asso-
citation rates. The motion was adopted. Mr..
Petit said that the sole object of calling the,
meeting to-day was to let the eastern re-
ceivers know that they intend making de-
termined stand and the association will not
yield an inch from this time ont, even
though they tie up every vessel the associa-
ton has on their books. The meeting then
