THE wEIR-MURPaY FIGHT.
A Battle For Blood Between the
Spider and the BritOn.

CHICAGO. March 27.-Within the next
sixty hours. Frank Murphy. of Birming-
ham, Eng, and Ike O'Neil Weir, of
Belfast, Ireland, will have met within
the ring for the featherweight cham
pionship of the world. The articles of
agreement stipulate that the mill shall
take place by Friday, and Charles E..
Davies, better known as the "Parson"
said this morning that the conditions
would be complied with to the letter.
ALI the arrangements have been made,
the men are ready, and with the COM
parative few that have been selected as
spectators, are only waiting for the
word "go." This word will be given
out but three hours before the fight by
Mr.. Davies, who has the secret of To-
cality and time, locked in his own
bosom. 1t is known, however, that the
former will be within two hours ride of
this city and the latter either
TONIGHT OR TOMORROW NIGHT.
AS the time for the meeting ap-
proaches the interest increases in in
tensity, and the sporting resorts are
crowded. not only with the local fra
East and from Michigan, Indiana, Wis
cousin and all other nearby states.
But small proportion of these, how
ever, will be in at the finish, for only
100 men, all told, will be admitted to
the special train: the tickets have been
coupOned and cOunterSigned to such an
extent that forgery OF imitation is inn
possible; and ten brOad-shouldered
members of the sporting fraternity,
several of whom have themselves seen
service in the ring, have been specially
assigned by the "ParSon" to see to it
that interlopers and frauds who may
attempt to secure entrance to the Spe-
cial, are given the 'raZzledaZZle."
THE FIGHT,
as is pretty generally known, is to be
with skin gloves and to finish. The
purse is 81 500, of which the loser will
receive $3.50 as balm for his injuries,
while the winner takes the balance, as
well as the belt presented by Richard K.
Fox as emblematic of the championship
of the world. Both men are in for
blood, and, barring accidents, there is
no question but that the mill will be
desperate one. Murphy, who has been
IN training at Beloit, Wis, is in perfect
condition. He has long desired to meet
the Spider" and the fact that his am
bition is in so fair way of being real
lied has put him in unusually good
SpiTIlSs WtlI lids III III bulS City,
and the man who has him in charge,
says that he is in shape to fight for his
life. To make matters
THE MORE INTERESTING,
there is no good feeling on Weir's part
toward his adversary, ana this is ac-
leepted as an Indication that he will fight
.Wickedly. 1t is promised there will be
nothing of the McAuliffe-Myer sort of
fighting in the coming mill, and the
fact that Parson Davies holds the stakes
and that he has declared that he will
not give them up until one Or the other
is knocked out. is a guarantee that ev
erything will be OH the square. Dick
Roche. of ST. Louis, will be the referee,
Betting is heavy, with slight advan-
tage toward Weir. The largest bet so
far announced is one of $4,000 even be-
tween William DAILY, Jr., and Ed Nc
Avoy, the latter favoring the Spider"

THE LYDECKER CASE.
Testimony of Sparrow, the Ex-
pert SOunder.


WASHINGTON. March 27.-The Ly-
decker court-martial to-day decided to
exclude the testimony given by the ex-
pert sounder, Sparrow. before the court
of inquiry, and he was placed upon the
stand to testify de novo. He explained
his system of sounding for defects, say
ing that he had examined $4,000 feet of
the tunnel and made 800 openings. His
notes were accepted as evidence. Maj.
Lydecker had directed him to give the
tunnel fair and full examination. He
found that the brick work was fairly
well laid, the packing in very loose
state and in cases lacking entirely.
The largest cavity was $50 feet
in length it would take man ninety
days to fill it. He told how these holes
might be concealed from inspection by
hastily erected dummy walls. John B.
for building the tunnel, testified that
the lining and packing had been let to
subcontractors. He learned after the
investigation that some of the govern
ment inspectors had received pay from
his firm for overtime work, and had
been borne on the pay rolls under fcti-
tious names. Neither he nor his part
ner were aware of this at the time. The
bad work was due to the Indifference of
the wOrkmen, to the careleSSneSS of SUI
perintendence, and he supposed he was
himself somewhat to blame. His firm
received no benefit from bad work, eX-
cept perhaps saving of cement. They
were ready to make good the bad work
done here in 1888, but not in 1887, eX-
cept under protest.
