A "FAKE" FIGHT.
The North JudsOn Affair was
of that Description.
A PUT-UP JOB FROM THE START
A Disgruntled "Sport" Characterizes
the Affair in Plain and
FOrcible Terms.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, February 16.-A dispatch
from Milwaukee says McAuliffe is desir-
GUS of having another fight with Myers,
in San Francisco, under the auspices of
the California Athletic Club. If that in
stitution will put up purse, he says he
"will fight for the stakes now up and the
purse besides-that will make nice
little pot"
In the meantime, while the two gladi-
ators are trying to arrange for whack at
the San Francisco sports dollars, the
Chicago contingent continues to de-
nounce the so-called Indiana tight.
The Tribune has the following inter
view with we'll known sport who at
tended the fight: II have often wondered
how long people would consent to be
gulled. Prize fighting is queer fake:
There never was sporting event
except special horse-race in the State,
when as much as 5000 was put up to
stay. 1t is pulled down within an
hour after it goes up. They talk about
Billy Madden's bad management l
tell you he's the 'smoothest duck next
to Pat Sheedy in the sporting line so far
as money-making is concerned. But
about the fight. There was no fight,
and there was no intention of having a
fight. The boys went down there for
the gate money; now they are talking
about having another fight. Well, the
suckers will bite again."
The Evening Journal says: Various ex-
cuses have been offered for the unex-
pected and embarrassing fiasco at North
Judson, when two men, each having a
reputation as "knocker-out." faced one
another in the ring for nearly five hours
without getting scratch. The most
commonly accepted theory is that it was
a put-up lob from the start and was en-.
gineered to make money, not only by the
sale of tickets, but by batting some ath-
letic club or coterie Of sport-loving men
into offering big purse for "scrap ir
private"

Charge of rlismanag e ment.

NEW YORK, February 16.-The Sun
this morning had an article criticisinp
the management of the Illinois Central
Railroad by Vice. President Hartman.
The Sun prints tabular showing, made
up from statements by the Illinois Cen
trail since 1882. From this it appears
that $3S, ,265 $40 worth OF the roads Sc.
culities have been marketed; that dis.
bursements of $25, 49, ,S07 are reported
leaving difference of $12, ,547 ,093, which
is remarkable discrepancy. The Sur

Hartman and Fish to explain.

FAMIsHINa FOR BUGS.

PhiIadelphia's sloth Said to BE Dying
FOR a Diet Of Insects.
PHILADELPHIA, July "a. - A large
sIoth from the West Indies, which was
recently added to the Geological gar
den's collection. is in danger of starving
to death for lack Of its natural food.
IR its native wilds it lives on insects,
which it collects by rolling about in the
underground and then licking them out
of its stiff coat.
The Zoo people have been unable 10
supply, artificially, enough bugs for the
lazy but hungry animal, and have tried
to cultivate its taste for food more easily
obtained. but the beast does not take
kindly to it.
But one Of the keepers got an idea TO
save the sloth. He suggested that hotel
and lodging house keepers be asked to
collect some barrels Of live reaches. They
have got some small quantities in this
way, but it takes a good many bugs to
keep the sloth on good terms with HIM
self, and the management of the garden
will try to enlist more people in the
work of collecting household vermin.

Considerable Cash
COLUMBUS, N. J., July el.-A well
dressed man about S5 years Of age, dark
eyes and hair. medium height, prepos-
sessing appearance and very fluent
talkeT, successfully swindled nearly
every merchant in this town out Of vari-
ous sums Of money ranging from So to
$4,000. The man gave his name as G.
r. Hadden and represented that he was
agent fer the Cincinnati Paper Bag
company, OF Ohio. with . branch Office
on Market street, Philadelphia.
His plan was to take an order for 5000
or 1000 bags and as an inducement for
the purchaser he offered to throw in q
large number OF bags with q special
business card printed ON them, the pur-
chaser 10 pay only for the printing,
which was at q very reasonable figure.
The goods failed to arrive at the deslg-
mated time and an investigation re-
vealed the fact that no such company
was located af Cincinnati and that there
was no branch Office Of the kind In
Philadelphia. The swindler gave his
customers the choice Of paying for the
goods IN advance or Of having them
shipped g. O. d. Every person. who
gave him an order paid for il an ad-
vance. The business community is very
much enraged and will use every effort
to secure the arrest OF the swindler.
The same person has also been onerat-
ing az BOrdentown, but met with very
little success there.

Thomas A. Edison on Executions
By Electricity.
INSTANTANEOUS AND PAINLESS


The '.vvIEarl Of sEenlo Parks Gives I'm
portant and Emphatic Testimony on
the Power % Electricity In the Kemm.
Ter cnse-Convinced That : powcrrul
Dose win Produce Instant Death.
NEW York. July s4.-Thomas A. Ed.
ison, the Wizard of Menlo Park, was
before ex-Referee Becker in the Kemm-
Ter reference to testify as to the proba-
bilities of electricity in its application as
death dealing force.
Mr.. Edison said that twenty-six years
he had been actively interested in the
workings of electricity, and considered
himself very well acquainted with dy-
namos. On Saturday. hearing that he
would probably be called to testify In
in the case, he experimental on $50 Of
his workmen with the view OF ascertain
ing their resistances.
No Doubt OF It's Emcacy.
He found that the average measure-
ment was |, 900 ohnls, the resistances ex-
hibited varying from $50 to 800 ohms.
He had heard of tests that proved that
some parts of the body exhibited q re-
sistance of zoo, 900 ohms, and he did not
doubt It in the least. A burn was con-
elusive evidence that the contact was
imperfect and that very little current
passed through the body.
Il have come TO the conclusion, /" said
Dir. Edison, ''that l 200 volts will cause
instantaneous and painless DEATH
willing to Experiment on smith.
eff Mr.. Smith, who stated that he had
experienced shock of 1900 volts with
out serious injury, will come over to my
laboratory and successfully Withstand q
shock of 100 volts will give him 500. =
In his experiments on his workmen
Mr.. Edison found that eight volts Of al
ternating current was all they cared TO
try.
In the cross examination Mr. Edison
testified respecting the Westinghouse
machines and admitted that Il was
based on belief.
A. E. Kennedy, one Of Mr.. Edison's
electricians, next testified. He believed
1000 volts was enough to cause death in
all cases.
