other struggling day for the contestants. If
ever two men did their best to break each other
down. Golden and Hegelman did, and they
were feeling the effects of the struggle last
midnight. It is certain that Golden will use
every possible effort to run Hegelman down to-

Hegelman's lead, about i've miles. is not great
as he is liable TO "crack'' at any time. His
attendants, however, state that he can stay

A prominent w. G. 7. q. woman remarked

by the same lady that at one of the meetings

they have not been treated rightln the mat

thing to do with the home.

explanation he said that the project instead

A FIVE MINUTES FIGHT.
George Dixon Whips Eugene HOrnbncker In
Very Short Order.

Very Short Order.
New YORK. December 27.-Eugene Rorn-
hacker was done up last night in quick order
by George Dixon, of Boston, near New Lon
don, Conn. Dixon was backed heavily by the
Boston people, who captured many hundreds
of New York mems money When
the men entered the ring both looked
determined and in good condition. A we'll
known New York sporting man was selected
as referee. At the call of time both stepped to
the center of the ring, and Hornbacker imme-
diately led with his left for Dixon's
stomach, but while he landed safely
he got a stingipg blow in the face
in return. Dixon then forced the
fighting, rushing Hornbacker, and not only
driving HIM all over the ring, but gaining four
clean knock-downS before the close of the
round. Hornbacker was hit so hard that he
was verv groggy at the call of time, and it was
easily to be seen that the fight was about over.
When the men were called up for the second
round, Hornbacker was still stupid showing
plainly that he had been severely punished.
Eugene tried to rally and force the fighting, but
he was not in it. Dixon was fresh and he
pounded the plucky little German all over the
ring, and knocked him out with well-deliv-
cred highlander, on the side of his left cheek
after they had been fighting about one minute.
The whole fight. rest and all, lasted only five
minutes. About l50 people paid $40 each TO see
the MILL Dixon is to be matched TO fight Nc

John QuiIlan, Armed Capable, Was Out
for Battle or Booze.
A wild-eyed and erratic citizen of Alle-
gheny, named John Quillan, who has no re-
gard for the instructions of the gentlemen at
Harrisburg who regulate the conduct of resi-
dents of the Commonwealth, purchased a
bottle of whisky last evening, and, taking it
in one hand and revolver in the other,
started up Ohio street to exterminate few
of the pedestrians who traverse the high
ways and alleys of that region.
The first person he encountered was G. G.
Jackson, the coal dealer. Thrusting the
muzzle of the revolver in Mr.. Jackson's
face, he ordered that gentleman to apply
himself to the muzzle of the bottle.
Mr.. jackson respectfully declined, and a
row was likely to ensue, when Detective
Murphy appeared on the scene and relieved
Mr.. Quillan of his weapons.
