ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 24.-One hun
dred citizens of Ashland were induced
tonight to pay s. apiece to witness the
rankest prize fight that ever occurred
here. Danny Needham, of st. Paul,
and Jim Connolly, of Boston, the former
lightweight and the latter middleweight,
were to fight with two ounce gloves to a
finish. The Bostonian weighed twenty
pounds more than his opponent, though
Needham was the favorite. They fought
well for six rounds, with the exception
of the second, when Connolly received
a left-hander on the jaw, and it was
called Knockout. John II. Clark,
of st. Paul, acted as referee. Needham
was seconded by Mike Conley. Paddy
Mcdonald, of Duluth, seconded Con-
molly. The first round began with hard
blows by both men. 1t was give and
take, and both went down together at
the start. Connolly, however, had the
best of the round. knocking Needham
down twice by stinging left-handers on
the jaw and neck. Needham took pun
lshment like little man, and at the
close got i'll two good ones on COnnOlly'S
jaw and neck. In the second Needham
laid his man out by a very easy blow on
the jaw and he tried to keep on his
back, but the crowd wouldn't have it.
He was dragged to his feet, and in the
third, fourth and fifth fought like a
tiger, but Needham was on his mettle
and made it interesting work. The
crowd then believed they were to see
night, when suddenly, at the opening of
the sixth round, the beaneater flew under
the ropes and persisted in staying there,
although he showed no signs of pun
ishment. Needham Vas fresh at the
close, though showing the most punish
ment. He was ready to proceed and
won the admiration of the crowd. A
party who saw the Meyer-Gilmore fight
thinks Needham will stand no show
with Meyer. A shower of curses fol-
lowed the wind up, and a well known
sport took the stage and denounced the
affair as big fake, and asked the crowd
to follow him and demand a return of
their money.

Hopkins Dying.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 24.-Capt. j. NJ.
Wise and Chris Kinsinger have made
application to Judge Sage. of the United
States court, for an order to remove
Benjamin E. Hopkins from the county
Jail to his home to allow him to die sur
rounded by his family, and promising
to pay the cost of such watchmen as
would be required to keep him safely.
His honor directed DR.. Bowling, the
government surgeon, to report to him
upon Mr.. Hopkins condition. The court
port indicated no immediate occasion
for apprehension of death in Mr.. Hop
kinS' case, and remarking that it was
the duty of the court to execute the law
and to protect the general public rather
than to consider the comfort of individ-

"A Man VINO Knows TaSCOtt Says
He Saw Him in Louisville Yes
terday.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 24.-That
ubiquitous but elusive individual, Tas-
colt, who was reported to have been az
rested yesterday at Lebanon, Mo-, is
said to have been seen again, and this
time in Louisville. Deputy Sheriff
Jerry Bates, as is his custom, went to
Kesker's restaurant on Third street
this morning for his breakfast, and,
while eating. observed there man and
woman: seemlngly strangers in
the city. There was nothing
manners, however. They were well
dressed but quiet in their manner. The
! man had light, close-crOpped hair in
pompadour style, and had little light
mustache. His eyes and nose were
rather prominent, and he resembles
much the picture of millionaire Smells
murderer. published yesterday in the
Evening Times. The woman's appear
ance was not particularly noted, except
that she was evidently stranger here.
The mans face struck the deputy as
being strangely familiar, and suddenly
it flashed into his mind that
uc WAS ldSCOtI, WHO'LL lie Udu
taken to the Frankfort peniten-
tiary in 1856 for the unlawful appro-
priation of lot of tickets of the Florida
Southern railroad, which he had tried
to dispose of here to ticket broker.
Mr.. Bates first impulse was to place
the people under arrest. Taking second
thought as to the complications that
might arise if it were a case of mis-
taken identity, he desisted, and after
lettering, about the restaurant
until there was no apparent
excuse for his remaining, he
left. He could not dismiss the matter
from his mind, however, in spite of his
having heard of Tascott's supposed az
rest in Missouri, and finally went back
to the restaurant, but was chagrined to
find that they hid gone. He immedi-
ately put detectives on the track of the
parties to find out who they were and
their business here, and was somewhat
mortified to think that he had not ap-
pretended them and taken chances as
to identity. He feels positive now that
the man was no other than Tascott him

A DRAW.
The Fight at Duluth Between
Bonner and Black Frank a

Draw.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 24.-About 800
people saw j. p. Donner and Black
Frank fight ten rounds at the Duluth
theater tonight, and although Referee
Slim Sullivan, of Ashland, decided it a
draw, there were many claims in the
audience that it should have been given
to Bonner. Charles Gleason seconded
DOnner and Allcock did the same for
Frank. Frank Hayes and Jim Murnane,
of Duluth, were timekeeperS.
First ROund-Frank led the fighting
by an attempt to reach Donner with his
left, but they clinched and before sep
arating DOnner caught Frank on the
nose and struck two severe blows. They
came together again, Frank forcing the
fighting and again getting counter on
the mouth and nose.
Second Round-Donner's left cheek
caught hard blow, but Franks nose
and mouth were reached twice in sue
ceSSiOn, showing blood. Both clinched
again. Frank fell with Donner on top.
The frequent clinching gave Donner a
slight advantage, as every time they
separated, or just before separating,
Franks stomach caught severe punish
ment.
Third Round -Donner fell. but
jumped up lively and reached Franks
Wide-Open mouth, causing a fresh sup
ply of blood to decorate the hands of
the referee in parting them. Frank led
for Donner twice, but failed to reach
him, except for short blow. A very
heavy right-hander from Donner sent
Frank two feet away, almost against
4l,n n inf 4Inn nE fltn tor
Fourth ROund-DOnner landed short
on Franks face. Frank caught Donner
on the neck with his right. Both fell
twice, Donner always on top.
Fifth ROund-DOnner seemed a little
winded, more so than Frank, ,and hOnors
were easy for a few passes, but Donner
protected himself better than Frank.
The close of the round showed little ad-
vantage.
The sixth. seventh and eighth rounds
were of like character. Bonner
seemed to recover his wind and pun
ished Frank severely, but the latter
stood it we'll and came up smiling ev-
cry time. After one and two passes
and clinch and falls, Franks mouth
and nose showed signs of severe hand
cut, and his left eye showed rough
treatment. Frank bled continuously
all the time.
The ninth and tenth rounds were
tame; neither was forcing the fighting,
but each staying well. Frank was much
the worst punished of the two. but it
seemed to have little effect or him.
At the close of the ninth round Don
ner said: "You wish it was the tenth,
don't youw NO." said Frank. II
will fight YOU" Before the referees
decision was announced shout for
DOnner went up; in fact, Donncr had
been the favorite all through. While
Frank was pounded much worse than
Bonner, he stood it so well that there
was little, if any, difference i'll the mems
condition at the finish.

A Chicago BuGaboo.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-SOmething very
much like oil has been struck in the
water tunnel shaft on the lake front,
and, as a natural consequence, there is
10 little excitement manifested in the
ultimate outcome. A constant stream
of water and quicksand three inches in
diameter is pouring out of the shaft and
through small wooden trough wends
its snaky-like way to the lake. The
water is almost completely covered
with a black, oily substance, which.
when skinned off and put by itself,
soon forms into soft, pliable cake re-
Sembling black sponge. The odor
from this, however, bears no resem-
blance to that of petroleum, and the
men around the shaft are puzzled.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-Chief of Police
Hubbard received dispatch tonight
from Detective Aldrich, who was sent
to Lebanon, Mo-, to identify the man az
rested there as Tascott, the Smell muir
derer. The dispatch simply said:
wrong man. Leave for Chicago at
II O'Clock with picture"
'Just as thought" said Chief Hub
bard when he had read the dispatch
through several times. II had hopes of
better news"
Il thought we had Tascott, sure"
said Inspector Bonfeld, land l was JUS
6fied in thinking so, considering the
tone of the dispatches we received last
night"
1t is stated that a new line of action
will now be adopted in the search for
Tascott. Some of the police officials
believe Tascott has not left the
city, but is hidden here by his
friends, who are looking after his well
fare until they can arrange to get him
out of the country without danger to
him or themselves. The police, there
fore, while following up closely the out
side clues, will devote good deal of
their time to thorough, systematic
search of Chicago and its environs.

participating in joint tariffs which re-
duced their proportions from Chicago to
the SeabOard from 2715c to zoe, and to-
day Mr., Blanchard sent the following
notice to Western lines: "On behalf OF
the joint committee, and as its vice
chairman, l respectfully give notice
that the reduced tariffs being published
from points in Iowa and Nebraska,
which are in violation of recent agree
ments, and are based approximately on
zoe east of Chicago, are issued without
proper authority, and the companies in
interest reserve the right to decline the
to advance the billing to the tariff rates,
and to charge their proper proportion
of the agreed rates based on
the authorized scale. On be-
half of these lines, l request
without admitting any responsibility
during their continuance that the re-
qniSite legal notice for the withdrawal
of such rates be promptly issued. l
issue this notice by authority and re-
quest of Chairman Fink" 1t was tele-
graphed here from New York this
morning that the Chicago & Alton was
quoting a rate on Colorado and Utah
business, which gave that line only 20
cents on firSt-claSS freight of this
CIldIdcIcI lrOm chicago 10 CHe missouri
river. The competing roads at once
wired their agents to make the same
rate on this class of business, and to-
morrow they will all drop the local rate,
Chicago to Missouri river points to 20
cents, a cut of cents below the prevail
ing rate. The other classes will remain
the same, that is, first and second-class
20 cents, third II, fourth 14119 and fifth
1l19. The Chicago, Burlington q Quincy
officials to-day vigorously denied that
they have been discriminating against
Chicago. They say that the Burling-
toms through tariffs from Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Kansas points are
made on grain the sum of their pub
liShed local tariff to Chicago-that is.
the local tariff to Chicago on corn and
oats is IL cents per hundred from Iowa,
Missouri and Eastern Nebraska points.
This is the same as the rates made to
East st. Louis. Beardstown and Peoria,
and it constitutes the basis of the
through rate to Atlantic SeabOard points.
The Burlington claims that no other
Western or Northwestern road has yet
reduced local to Chicago, and conse-
quently any through rates made by
them to the SeabOard are, as charged,
Determinations against Chicago.
