AMOUNTED SWORD COMBAT.
In which KcKtnney Defeats Duncan
O. Ross

A Scranton PA special saws: The tOurna.
ment OF the Scranton Caledonlan Club at the
Driving Park to-day was witnessed by 5000
persons and furnished programme a thrill
ing as any supposed TO be enjoyed in the
ancient Roman arena. There was an ORR
entail tent.pegging contest on horseback, in
which Sergeant walsh, OF the Eighth MIS-
souri, cavalry. killed his own horse by run
ming him through the body with spear and
narrowly escaped being pinned 10 the
animal himself; catcb.as-catch-can Wrest-
ling match between Duncan c. Ross and
the great Cumberland wrestler, George Ross,
in which Duncan Ross was the winner, and
mounted sword combst OF q desperate ma
ture between Duncan Ross and Lieutenant
Mckinney, OF Ohio, in which Mckinney
was the victor by a score OF to points.
In the sword fight Ross and Mckinney
fought all over tue field and rushed among
The crowd, striking at each other viciously
and endangeripg the lives Of the spectators.
Just before the combat Mckinney addressed
the multitude and said he would rather de-
feat Ross than be President Of the United
states. At the close Of the contest he was
nailed the victor with wild enthusiasm, and
he l. now the hon Of the day.
Lieutenant Mckinney, the winner OF the
mounted sword combat against Duncan
Ross and the present champion in that par
ticuIar branch Of sport, IS a son OF judge Nc
Kinney. OF Ohio. student OF West Point,
and member OF the bar. While In Brazil a
few wears ago rs a member OF Professor
Hartps staff on the geological survey he
was compelled to fight duel and he van
qmshed his man. Carlos de Santos. Since
then be has met aud conquered, in mounted
sword contests, Sergeant Walsh and Major
Mcguire, and now the great Duncan {.
Ross.
The killing OF Sergeant Walsh's horse on
the FIELD Of sport was shocking spectacle
this afternoon. Walsh was first TO start oil
on the Indian pegging contest and In striking
at the peg his steel. pointed spear stuck fast
In the ground. His horse was on ealop,
struck the spear, dashed 1t forward. and
then the animal impaled itself on the weapon,
which entered near the right shoulder and,
passing through, came ont through the back
lust behind the saddle. The riders clothing
was caught and torn by the spear, and he
had a narrow escape from being pinned TO
the horse. Twenty men struggled for several
minutes 10 pull the spear through the horses
body and fiuallv succeeded by some pushing
on the handle OF the weapon while others
pulled on the point. Several ladies were so
impressed by the sickening sight that they
tainted.
A year ago Sergeant Walsh met Duncan
Ross In sword contest here and was
Knocked senseless from his saddle by blow
across the helmet in the second bout. His
experience ON the Scranton field OF sport
has thus far been bitter one.

with his vile, and the couple were assigned
to Room 124. At O'Clock last night Mrs.
Henderson sent word 10 the night clerk Of
the hotel that her husband was seriously III,
and that a physician was needed instantly.
DR.. Harrington, the regular physician, was
out aud n bell-boy was dispatched to
Hudput's pharmacy for al attendant.
The boy stated that an antidote for carbOlc-
acid poisoning was needed, and clerk went
over to the hotel with a proper emetlc, IN
the mean time dispatching the boy for ply
scian. UDOn arriving at the room the clerk
administered ten grains OF sulpbate OF zinc,
and the patient yOmiied quantity OF liquid
but no food. He appeared to be stupidity
drunk and was partly unconscious. Before
a physician arrived he was dead. The hotel
people, in the mean time, bad summoned a
policeman, who rang for ChamOers-StTeet
Hospital ambulance. Henderson had ex-
pired before the ambulance arrived, aud the
surgeon IN charge refused to remove the
body.
Mrs. Henderson said to the drug clerk that
her husband had committed suicide byswa-
lowing carbOlic acid, and the clerk found an
ounce vial Of that liquid In the room, from
which only half dram bad been taken. a
quantity that could scarcely cause death.
Later on Mrs. Henderson refused to say any
thing about the matter. She was much
Frustrated and telegrapbed for relatives in
Cleveland TO come at once to the city.

stay at the hotel and they said that his APP

or. lie was about forty.fve years old,
weighed $50 pounds, and had smoothly
shayen face. His widow Is Kate +. lender-
son. and she appears TO be about thirty'tye
years OF age.

although IL was nearly midnight before he
reached the hotel. Mrs. Henderson said she
came into their room about $3.50 last night
and found her husband lying on the bed.
He called her TO him and said: "Oh, Kate,
Kate. the carbolic acid! She asked him
what he had done, and he tried TO answer
but could not.
James Mulligan. the elevator boy, said
that Mr.. Henderson came 10 about 1870 =. NJ.
carving a small package. He held 1t up
aud sad: "Thats the stuff tbat'll do It,"
The coroner then adjourned the inquest
until tomorrow.
Mr.. Henderson lived at 90 Arlington
Court, Cleveland. He was man OF cousd-
cradle property, and occupied prominent
position in business circles. For years be

Company, in Cleveland, and in 1881 went TO

National Bank officials discovered III some
way that most OF the checks drawn by COY
kendall had been drawn TO the order OF VIII
liam II. Leeker, butcher on n small scale In
the netzhborhood Of Coykendalps store.
Leeker was summoned 10 Chief-of. Police
Murphy. Office Thursday evening. AZ
first he said that he had merely cashed
Coykendalfs checks ~ a matter OF ac-
commodatiou. but when pressed Tor tue
details he exposed Coykeudalps banking
methods thoroughly. some time ago Coy
kendall borrowed $40 from him and pad him
with check. Thereafter be was frequent
caller for cash on bis checks. The amount
which be wanted was usually $40 10 SiVO.
Leeker seldom had that amount OF cash ut
band; aud Il was arranged between the
two that oykendall should take the ready
cash the butcher had; that the check should
then be taken 20 New York and paid
over to the dealers In the mar
ket from whom Leeker purchased bis sup
plies, and that on his return the balance due
on the check should he handed 10 CoykeH-
dali. By this roundabout scheme Coykendall
saved himself from the danger OF rushing
HIS checks up 10 the paying teller's window
for the cash, and so decreased the chances OF
an inquiry being made into the state OF his
account and into the boOk.keeper's method
OF keeping IL.

Mr.. ElIinwOod. OF New York, spoke OF
the duty OF the Csurch toward the specula-
tive tendencies OF the age. He SAID the
whole history OF Presbvterauism was asso-
ciated with educational progress and with
the defence OF the faith - delivered 10 The
saints. The forms Of unbelief bad been e-
