A DISGUSTING EXHIBITION.
A Brutal and bloody Prize Fight-An AZ

A Brutal and bloody Prize FIght-An Ac-
cident to Ono of the Participants.
New YoRK, Nov. 1,-Tonny Flanna-
gan, OF Cincinnati, and Pete McCabe, OF
Albany, fought desperate battle, last
ing ten rounds, for n purse OF $500 in the
dining loom Of a hotel at City Island.
The battle was witnessed by thirty
club men, who paid $40 a head for the
privilege.
Flannagan was declared the victor at
the close OF the tenth round, after al
most demolishing MCCabe.
An accident occurred in the sixth
round which might have terminated in
the death Of one Of the principals. Nc
Cabe, while being rubbed down, asked
his seconds for drink OF brandy. One
OF his attendants handed him a bottle
containg ammonia instead OF the brandy
bottle. McCabe raised the stuff to his
mouth and took swallow. He sent up
a yell and dropped TO the floor and roll
ed around in intense pain.
On the call OF time for the seventh
round, McCabe was upon his feet and
continued the fight, although his lace
bore an agonizing look that told Of the
pain the fellow was enduring. McCabe
is 90 years old, five feet six inches high
and weighs l2s pounds. Flanagan is
the same age, five feet six inches high
and weighs I30 pounds.
The fighting was Of the hurricane
order and was bloody from the start to
the finish. Flanagan showered blow
after blow on the face and neck OF his
opponent, while in return he received
terrible punishment about the chest and
face.
first knock-down in the second round.
The battle became so wicked toward the
finish that many OF hespectators turned
their heads away to avoid the sickening
sight. At the end OF the battle Nc.
Cabo's left eye was completely closed
and his right cheek bone was laid bare
from two.inch cut. Flannsgan's face
was also sorry sight, his face being
badly swollen aud bleeding. The fight
which was one Of the gamest on record,
lasted forty minutes.

WINNIPEG, MAN, Nov. 1.-The rail-
way situation has become SO serious
TINT a proclamation has been issued
calling the Legislature together for the
dispatch OF business on November 8. 1t
is not yet known just how the govern
uent proposes to deal with the case, It
is understood, however, that the princi.
pal object OF tho meeting is to retaliate
upon the Canadian Pacific for its action
in the present case. II is believed that
the Legislature will repeal taxation, ex-
emptions and pass legislation taxing the
company's property in the province to
the utmost that the law allows. The
line is taken that If the Canadian Pacific
wiiifuliy injuries the Province, the gov.
ernment is justified in using similar
weapons against 1t.

Is Assured in West Virginia if
Protectionists Stand by
Their COlOrs.
Voters Warned to Keep Their
Weather Eyes Open at a
Critical Time.

The West Virgians who believe in
Protective Tariff and desire TINT the
voice Of this State shall be so recorded
should understand fully what the situa-
ton is. The poll of each party shows
that a majority OF the voters OF West Vir'
ginia are on the side of Protection.
This means that the State is lost to the
party OF Free Trade unless the managers
oithat organization can recover it be-
tween now and next Tuesday. They
have no hope Of accomplishing anything
by asament-that effort has exhausted
aud proved futile.
The Lost Cause of the Free Trade
party covers everything in the State.
The State ticket is gone, the Legislature
and three il not all four OF the Congress
men. This is the word that has reached
Democratic headquarters, and this is the
word that has spread panic through the
Free Trade ranks.
This is what induced the leaders to
make the urgent appeals which have
brought into the State money to be used
at the last hour in the hope OF recover
ing the lost ground. To make sure of a
careful distribution of the funds, Federal
OiIice.holders, some OF them residents OF
the State and some Of them from other
States, have been relieved OF their pub
lie dntics 10 go on missionary tours into
the interior, carrying the money in their
grpsacks, generally split up into con-
yenient s. bills. In other cases lump
sums have been sent.
Within few days man protesting to
have been a Republican has been sent
toChareston with $500 understood to be
intended for use on the head of the
State ticket. The INTELLIGEHcRR has
thenlne oithis as ofother ENJOYS extra
ordinary who have been sent on this
business.
Men are to be employed to remain
away from the polls where they cannot
be bought oughtright to vote the Free
Trade ticket. Other men are to be
bought, II they can be, with the cheaper
circulating medium ofpromises, ofwhich
there is an abundance in the treasury
The promises Of Government employ
ment made in Wheeling alone could moi
be kept il West Virginia were to get ten
times her share OF the National spoils.
Notonc OF these promissory notes will be
worth a cent alter election day. But the
Sbills are good all the time, aud these
are the main reliance to hold in line a
State whichisproudly called Democratic.
II Protectionists are in earnest they
will watch every poll, get out every vote
see that it goes in as the voter intends
and is counted as it is polled. II every
Protcctionist vote in the State goes into
the ballot box and is counted as it il
polled, the Doodle scheme will bt
thwarted.

his labored and disconnected speech,
Chairman Martin introduced EyEhe Hon.
Thomas A. Weeks" with the remark
that "Alps well that ends we'll" Thomas
at once launched out into an eulogy OF
Cleveland and wound up with the most
virulent abuse of the Republican party:
He referred to Grant and Hayes and
charged them as well us the Republican
party with being thieves and robbers;
that they had stolen the earth; had
stolen the navy; and that there was no
crime too great for them to commit. He
frankly admitted that he knew nothing
about the tariff, and said he realized that
his audience was better informed on that
question than himself. His sole and
only mission seemed to be the abuse OF
the Republican party.
The record OF Weeks is that he is en-
ployed in Baltimore in n public office
and has tue odor OF McClellan's Alley
clinging to his garments, for he was one
Of the prime movers in counting out j..
Morris Harrison, of Baltimore, in 1884.

from Pittsburgh named Charles Hof-
man while passing down Main street
noticed a horse and buggy standing in
front of Mansfeld's saloon. George
Majors, who had hired the vehicle, was
in the saloon, and when he came out his
equippage was gone. Hoffman had
taken it, and he was not satisfied with
enjoying d ride, but attempted to sell
the outfit at several places. Yesterday
tho horse and buggy were found in Bel

latter jaded from over driving. Holman

taken before Squire Atkle, who sent
him TO Jail in default OF 81 100 bail.

General GoE, and the coach in which

He was compelled to speak in open air
as the Opera House would not acCommb-

some one remarked that they had to

whereupon General Golf remarked
that their weight might crush this

mated that there was fully 1000 people
present, this being the largest political
assemblage ever held in Weston. He
was cheered to the echo at frequent in
teryals from the time that he took the
stage until he closed. All the seats pro-
yided were occupied by ladies and the
hrndreds who drank in his wisdom and
eioauence did not show fatigue from

England's dignity by not indulging Mr..
