PORTY.Tw0 HARMLESS ROUNDS,
Farley and Dori. Give. n Miserable Kxhibi,
tion on Long Island.

Farley and Doria Give. n Miserable Rxhibi,
tion on Long ISLAND.
Sporting men who did not see the glove
fght between Farley and Doris can congratu-
late themselves on escaping Q wretohed exhi-
bition and an all-night expedition. These
140-pound men fought, or rather faced each
other in q ring ON Long Island last night for
forty-two rounds, during which, under Mar
quis Of Q~ueensberry rules, two hours and
forty-seven minutes elapsed.
Frank Stevenson was the referee and p. J.
Donohue and II. X. Turnbull kept the time.
At the end of the thirty fourth round the
men, who had lone little more than attitude
nize throughout, were told they could have
six rounds more in which to show that they,
ut least, meant to fight. and If they did not
make some hostile showing in that time the
mill would be declared q draw.
Eight instead of six rounds were given
them, and as not one blow was struck during
this time the referee and timekeepers threw
up their positions.
The referee declared the battle q draw rs
far as he was concerned. but said: If you
want to stay here until MONDAY there are
plenty of good men you can agree upon"
The spectators were Disguised, MS were
those who saw these same youths fiddle about
each other for three hours on the banks of
the Hudson last summer.
Two hundred and fifty dollars a side and q
$500 purse was the money fought for. with
skin tight gloves. Farley did all the leading,
and inflicted the only punishment, q cut nose
and u black left eye for Doris.
81 wonder who told those chaps they could
fight" was the exclamation OF u spectator
who went away before the miserable farce
was ended.

A Bad Railway Accident Winch Might
Have Been Much Worse.

Phere was a wreck and p~royidential
escape from a terribly fatal accident at
Kimball, Neb., yesterday morning. In
an accident which befell the west bound
Union Pacific overland flyer at that point
two passengers sustained painful but not
dangerous injuries and considerable rail-
way property was somewhat damaged.
The train, moving at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour was ditched by a
broken rail when within a few hundred
yards of Kimball. The locomotive passed
over the weak spot safely but the baggage
car, a coach and two sleepers left the rails
with a crash. The lamps which were not
extinguished by the shock were blown out
by gentlemen who retained sufficient pres
ence of mind to bethink themselves of the
possibilities of an awful holocaust.
But two persons were injured. a son of
j. Q. Woodward of Laramie and a gem
tleman whose name could not be learned.
The fireman was severely cut about the
thigh by falling through a window. He
was taken to his Laramie home. The
stranger, who is being treated by DR..
Stevens in this city, sustained several
slight scalp wounds.
The train was delayed six hours by the
accident. The damaged cars were re-
placed at this point. Among the passen-
gers was Claus Speeches, the California
sugar king.
1t is doubtless unnecessary to say that
the above account was not given by an
excited young passenger who sent the fol-
lowing telegram to his parents:
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 29.-Big acct
dent on the U. P. No one hurt. | am
uniniured.
Since writing the above it has been
learned that the victim of the accident
being nursed in this city is Paul f. Zeit-
law of New York. He was resting quietly
at the Inter Ocean last evening.
