The floods AbatIng.

QUINCY, Ills, May 2l.-The great
food in the Mississippi is slowly abating
and it is thought the worst is passed. A
trip though the submerged district shows
that the reports of loss and suffering have
not been exaggerated. Over %, 900 acres
of the richest farming lands in the state
are covered with water from six to ten
feet deep. The damage to farm, mill and
railroad property has been enormous, and
the aggregate will reach $4,000, 900 on
crops alone. The damage to levees,
houses and railroads will approximate
5000, 900. Much sickness prevails among
the people who have been driven from
their homes by the floods, owing to want
and exposure, and measures have been
taken to alleviate their sufferings.
QUINCY. ILL.,, May 81 Reports re-
ceived to-day record the drowning of
Samuel Moore by floods in the Indian
Grove levee district and of two children
of Mrs. johnson in the Sny district. Two
families living in the Sny district are UNI
accounted for and no trace of them can be
found.
1t is probable that many fatalities will
be recorded when all the facts regarding
the flood are fully known. Much sick
ness prevails among the destitute people
from the inundated districts, but the re-
lief committees of Quincy are rendering
every possible assistance.
The river to-day is falling slowly.

FORTY-NINE ROUNDS.
Glove Fight Between McAuliffe
and Glover.
The Former the Victor After
FOrty-Nine Rounds.
An Enthusiastic Crowd Wit
ness the Contest.

SAN Francisco. May 2l.-. The fight
between Joe McAuliffe, heavy weight
champion of the Pacific coast, and Frank
Glover of Chicago, which took place at
the rooms of the California Athletic club
tonight, has been anxiously awaited for
by sporting men. Each of the principals
put up $1,000, which with a purseI of
81, $50 offered by the cub made the prize
So, $50. When the men appeared in the
ring late in the evening both we're In ex
cellent condition, but the noticeable fea-
ture was the great difference in size.
Glover weighed It's pounds, while the
Pacific coast champion carried more than
200 pounds. Hiram Cook acted as referee.
Barney Farley and Tom Clearly were Me-
Abilities seconds, and Billy Delaney and
Tom Carr filed a similar office for Glover.
Before the principals appeared in the
ring about two hours had been occupied
in sparring contests by o number of local
celebrities, and in that time the betting
had been spirited and slightly in Glover's
favor. Just before the contest opened
President Falda of the California Athletic
club stepped into the ring and made a
short address in which he said that so
far as the club was concerned the match
which had been arranged between Glover
and McAuliffe was to be strictly a glove
contest.
When the men who were to take part
in the main event of the evening stepped
over the ropes a few minutes later they
were greeted with a storm of applause
from a thousand persons present. They
sat in their corners a few minutes putting
on their ounce gloves and attending to
other preliminaries, and at the call of the
referee stepped quickly to the center of
the ring and performed the usual hand
shake.
Time was called Immediately and the
men spared cautiously for fully a minute,
when McAuliffe led out strongly with his
right, hitting Glover on the neck and
sending him down amid the applause of
the spectators. He was on his feet in
stantly, when the men clinched, but broke
away. Several other clinches followed in
quick succession when the round closed.
In the sixth round McAuliffe's nose
began to swell. Glover was decidedly
cool. A clinch followed. McAulife
lead for the %latter's head and time was
called.
In the seventh round there was no
fighting of any moment. McAuliffe
made a vicious reach for Glover's neck,
but the latter Owed under. The former
then touched him lightly on the cheek,
which caused the Chicago man to laugh.
In round eight Glover tried for Nc
Abilities head, but was stopped by the
%latter's left. The men cliuched. Glover
lodged a lunge for his head, and got in a
hard one on McAuliffe's head.
At l:45 a. N Glover and McAulife
have fought forty-four rounds. Nc
Auliffe shows considerable weakness, but
Glover has a bunch over his left eye as
large as his fist. Glover is in somewhat
the best condition.
Glover was knocked out in the forty
ninth round. Time, three and one-quar-
ter hours.

Tried to Take His Life.

CHICAGO, May . l.-LilIie Richmond
this morning created a decided sensation
on the west side by Disgusting herself as a
man, putting on a false moustache, taking
up a position near the corner of Fulton
and Ann streets and when 2. J.. Bolan-
der, a prominent real estate agent, passed,
endeavoring to kill him with a revolver.
A policeman had been watching her
nervous movements about the corner for
some time, and becoming suspicious
started toward the supposed young man
just in time to strike up the revolver and
defect the shot which would doubtless
have ended Bolander's life. AS it was he
was only slightly wounded.
When taken to the station Miss Rich
mond claimed she had been living with
Bolander and hat they we're married ac-
cording to her belief by legal contract.
A couple of months ago he deserted her
and she learned he had been married a
long time and lived with her while his
wife was away. Brooding over this she
determined to kill him. She claims he
first imposed on her by d~rugging her and
then deceived her into the belief that
their common law marriage wal valid.
Bolander admits that he roomed with the
girl during his wife's absence, but denies
drugging or deception in the contract
matter.
