THEY FIGHT FOR A GIRL.
The vanQuished Man Gives Up All Ckalurs
 to the Fair N.aitlon's Favor.


 W1LEEsBARRE, Pa., Nov. 11.-A des- perate fist fight took place at secluded spot near No. colliery of the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company at Plymouth Saturday. afterhoon. The principals were Elmer Gross and Frank Anderson. For some time they have been rivals for the hand of the same girl, and as she did not show any marked preference, they decided to settle tho matter them selves.
 They selected William O'Brien, of Ply mouth, as referee. J. k. Power acted as second for Gross and Ed. Hcffernan for Anderson. A twenty-four-foot ring was staked out and the battle began at 4 p. m. in the presence of about fifty spectators.
 Gross stands near six feet high, and weighs lSo pounds. His opponent was but little less. For tho first foar rounds Anderson seemed to have the best of it. He showed moro skill and activity, and pressed Gross hard. In the third round he landed terrific blow of Cross eye that knocked him clean off his feet, and closed the eye. In the fifth round An derson began to play out, while Gross, though badly punished, seemed as strong and fresh as at first.
 In the sixth and seventh rounds their positions were reversed. Gross forced the fighting and drove Anderson all around the ring, pouring in a torrent of sledge-hammer blows. Finally he got in smashing blow on tho jaw, laying open Anderson's check and knocking out several of his teeth. Anderson went down as if ho had been shot, and could not stand up when time was called. The referee gave the fight to Gross, and Anderson, in the presence of witnesses, renounced all claim to the hand of the maiden for whose favor he fought.

 No company has ever presented "Jim the Penman" in Waterbury heretofore that equalled the rank of A. M. Palmer's company. It is composed entiriy of star performers.

Dr Charles Shulz was recently fined in the Bridgeport city court and sentenc- ed to thirty days in jail for stealing money from Henry Twardokos. Now Twardokos has found out that the money was stolen by his own son, who was the principal witness at Shulz's trial. Dr Shulz was at once released, and the boy. who is only II years old, was locked up. With the proceeds of the theft he bought a gun, dumbbells and other articles. and his possession of these things aroused his fathers suspicious. Being hard pushed, he at last confessed.

Road Overseers to be Elected.

Among other changes made in the
road law at the last session of the Legis-
lsture was the insertion of provision
making road overseers elective, instead
of their appointment by the Comfy
Court. Following are the sections bear
ing upon this matter.
See. 10. The several county courts shall
divide their counties into convenient road
districts, said districts to include within
thei: respective limits not less than one nor
more than six school districts, and the
boundaries of such road districts shall be
the same as the school districts or districts
from which they are formed, except when
any school district lies in two or more
counties, in which case the county line shall
be the boundary of such road district: Pro-
vided, that no part of any incorporated city,
town or village shall be a road district or
any part thereof. And at the annual school
meeting in the year 1890, and every year
thereafter, the qualified voters within such
road districts shall choose by ballot a person
to act as road overseer in each of such dis
tricts, who shall serve for a term of one
year, and until his successor is duly elected
and qualified. 1t shall be the duty OF the
clerks OF the school districts to cast up the
votes for each candidate within five days
after such meeting, and transmit the same
to the county clerk, who shall Immediately
issue certificate Of election to the person
having received the highest number of vo tes
In each of said road districts.
Sec. 16. The person elected to the office
of road oyerseer shall be a resident tax pay
er of the road district for which he was so
elected, and shall have resided in said road
district one whole year next before the an
nual election thereof. And it shall be his
duty to keep the roads in his district in
good repair, according to the provisions of
his act; and it shall be the duty of said

The Bloomfield Meeting.

The rally for tariff reform in the
West Is taking shape in spontaneous
meetings, with little or no semblance
to the meetings of the campaign.
They are called by the people them
selves without the authority or inter-
vention OF any party committee.
There are no candidates with interest
to be advanced; the speakers are invit-
ed to discuss principals and issue solely
with view to forcing issues on princi-
pie. These meetings have high edu-
cation value, not only because they
expose the injustice of the present sys-
tenn of taxation, out because tn y illus
trate the earnestness of the people in
dealing with them, thus offering to
the politicians opportunity to obtain
education of kind badly needed by
some of them.
The meeting at Bloomfield, Ind,
Saturday. addressed by Senator Voor-
hees and others, was a part of this
spontaneous popular campaign against
high taxation, and the address made
by Senator Voorhees, was worthy it.
Its fierce Arrangement of Plutocracy
was received with prolonged cheering
by the 10000 people present.
Those who, as he expresses it, imag-
inc that "they are rightfully born,
Ooo1So ~ho opahiCus ~ AhOhhS anu ii0O
the brid led and saddle burden bearing
millions" are now in the flush of VIC
tory bought with ill-gotten money,
and being so, they sneer at all such
protests as demagogy. But it is a
very serious business. When any
country can show a thousand men
with from $5,000,0 900 to 100000, 900
each, while the i'm nense majority Of
its people have only the privilege of
struggling for existence, it's political
conditions can only be made stable by
the force of stronger government
than is possible in this country.
Without an early and radical change
in government methods. American
poverty will grow radical. 1t is
already ripe for the revolt against Plu-
tocracy and, If it cannot reform, it will
tear down the system by which the
power of money il made omnipotent in
Republic.

shall be a master or q slave. TIL,
wrong is in our unjust and senseless
system of taxation rather than in the
men who try to evade and defeat it
And yet these men are themselves the
opponents of a better and perfect sys
tenn.
If we were to tax the source from
which wealth is produced instead OF
wealth after it is produced, we should
avoid all this false swearing and trou-
ble, while not man, nor CENTS worth
of property could escape its just share
Of taxation. Even the strongest adj
vocates of our present system admit
that it has many Objectionable feat
ures, but no man can point out, prove
any view, social, fiscal, or moral, a
single valid or serious objection to the
single list.
There is no question so vital, yet
there is no question more neglected by
those who suffer most from it.

Wedding i'm Poverty.

Justice Ryan secured an opportunity
couple Of evenings ago to use his
sharp tongue to the discontinue of an
impecuuious bridegroom. The fellow
struck the Recorders office with only
50, of which he paid 81 for the mar
riage license. Then he asked to he di-
rected to Justice of the peace, and
ambled over to Justice Ryan's with
the bride. The facetious Squire ad-
justed the knot hymeneal i'm no time,
and. when he had filled up the certifi-
cate and handed it to the bride, he
turned briskly to the groom, and re-
marked lightly, as if in contempt of
the trifiing stipend: 1.-TWO dollars is
the legal fee" The fellow gave little
start, and then sheepishly cast his
eyes on the ground, while he reached
his hand to the bride for something.
That something proved to be u red
bandanna handkerchief with knot
in one corner, which the groom pro-
ceeded most awk wardiy to unite.
When it opened he produced four
dimes, two nicke's and two quarters,
amounting to 81 90, and rendered them
to the Squire with the apology:
" That's every cent / got, boss. I
thought YOU charged a dollar" When
Justice Ryan had recovered from his
amaZeuenth he read the fellow lecture.
Yonsprecious idiot, do you expect to
start out in life broke. I've good
mind to unmarry you again, and he
took the certificate from the BRIDES
hands and made a feint of tearing it
up, whereupon the bridegroom groan-
Ell and the bride shrieked. "Oh, don't,
Jedge, please-pap'll kill him If we go
home without the certificate" The
inference to be- drawn from this was so
plain that the Squire could not con-
tinue the lecture. He merely remark
ed, "pd ruther you'd said you wanted
marrying for nothing,n tossed the
chicken feed" on the table, told the
bride to gather it up, and turned to his
docket.-Star-Sayings.
