A Meeting to be Held To- Morrow Night to
Decide Upon 1t.
The General Committee appointed to
make arrangements for the American
Mechanics parade on February %, 1890,
will meet tomorrow evening in the Moor
head building. It is probable the commit
tee will experience some little difficulty in
deciding upon a route this year. The
Southside made an effort to get the parade
last year and failed. This year they will
try again. They will be met by Allegheny,
however, where the parade is wanted on the
occasion of the laying of the corner stone of
the Washington monument. The parade
has gone to Allegheny the past two years.
1t is wanted over there this year and 1t will
be wanted the following year, when the
monument is unveiled. The Southside has
had the parade once in six years, and the
various Councils on that side of the river
will make a combined effort to get the
coming one over there.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcA.l
PETERSBURG, VA, November THE
returns that are coming from the interior of
the State give the Democratic State ticket
large majorities. Ex-Governor Cameron
said this afternoon: II said a month ago
that neither the Republicans nor Democrats
would any longer tolerate Malone. The
General said at Norfolk, at the time of his
so-called nomination, the kickers had per-
haps following of about 500 in the State
"I expect if he looks at the returns from
Petersburg, where live; Norfolk, where
General Croner lives; Shenandoah, where
Riddleberger lives; Augusta, where the
Yosts live, and number of others, he will
find that the kickers voted early and con-
tributed largely, to the majority by which
Malone has been retired from any future
practical influence in Virginia politics."

ASHTON KNOCKED OUT.
Godfrey, the Big CoIOred PugilIst, Defeats
Him Easily - Really Beaten In the
First ROund-Tbe Talent Bet

on the Wrong Man.
Boston, November 1-At the Parnen Ath-
| letic Club rooms tonight Jack Ashton OF
PrOviden ce, and George Godfrey, the colored
| heavy weight pugillst of Boston, faced each
other for IA rounds, the contest resulting in
knock out for Godfrey. Ashton was seconded
by Billy Madden and Steve McMaugh, while
Godfrey's seconds were Frank Sieele and
Frank Carroll, with Jere Dunn, of New York,
referee There were many sporting men in
attendance from Providence, who vagered
their money freely on Ashton at odds Of 500
to $50 and the result of the contest was big
surprise to them, as well as to everybody else.
The men were in good condition, and Ashton
was looked upon as a sure winner before the
contest began.
After the first round, however, Godfrey stock
rose in value and it became painfully evident
that Ashton was over matched. Godfrey got
IN terrific right hand blow on Ashton's cneek
bone in the first round, which seemed to daze
the latter, and he did not appear to recover
from its effect during the whole contest. In
fact after the first round Ashton was practi-
cally out of it In the second round Godfrey
planted another blow over Ashton's left eye
while Ashton tried in vain to return the com
pliment In the third round Ashton rushed
the fighting but Godfrey parried his body blows
and repeatedly sent in his right and left on
Ashton's face. In the fourth, fifth and
sixth rounds Ashton was kept busy de-
tending himself from G0dtrey's sledge hammer
blows. which sought Ashton's face and neck
with telling effect. Ashton's blows seemed TO
annoy Godfrey but little. They were directed
mainly at the latter's stomach, although God
frey received one singer between the eyes in
the sixth round. In the seventh round Ashton
was caught with heavy left-hand blow on the
right jaw and went to the floor. From the
eighth to the thirteenth round Godfrey led at
all points, clearly showing his superiority over
Ashton. HIS blows rained upon Ashton's face
and neck while Ashton kept continually raising
his elbow and his knee to ward them off. Ash
ton was unable to get in but three telling blows
upon Godfrey during the entire contest
In the fourteenth round Ashton came up
pluckily, but apparently dazed, and his blows
went wide of their mark. At last Godfrey sue
ceeded in landing powerful blow under Ash
toms left jaw that brought him to the floor a
beaten man. Ashton made game fight
throughout and showed considerable science,
but he was clearly no match for Godfrey, who
finished in excellent form and showing scarcely
a scratch.
By the terms of the match Godfrey receives
a cup valued at 81, ,000 and Ashton 500 trophy.
At the conclusion of the contest Godfrey was
challenged by Joe Lannon, the well-known
heavy weight of Boston.

A NEW SITE REPORTED.

The Allegheny Electric Plant MAY at Last
Secure Location.
The joint committee of the Gas and City
Property Committees, of Allegheny, who
have the question Of a site tor the new cleo
trio plant before them, met last night. The
subcommittee reported site on Braddock
street and Oak alley, near the Irwin avenue

available. The report of the subcommittee
was adopted, and an ordinance for the pur-
chase ordered printed for Councils. 1t was
also decided TO call a special meeting of
Common Council for next Monday.

Sporting Notes.

SOME of the "stars" may call a halt yet in the
players march.
1T looks as if it was not all plain sailing with
the Brotherhood.
THE great question is: What was the hitch at
the Brotherhood meeting yesterday?
THE Brotherhood evidently expects to have
plenty of money from which topay big salaries.
WONDER if Dunlap and few others will get
bigger salaries next year than they have been
getting recently?
G. S.-As all the games were not played of,
one being tie the bet is certainly draw. A
had out the three winners, and he might have
had the required three had the game been
played off.
THE final deposit in the Priddy- NJ cClelland
race is due at this Office tomorrow evening.
The parties interested would confer a favor if
hours of and o'clock In the afternoon.

revenue bill passed by the General Assembly at
its recent session, fixing license for the selling
of pools and book betting, was unconstitu-

tors of local poolrooms guilty of violation of
the law prohibiting the selling of pools and the
making of book bets on races run on tracks
outside of the State, and assessed a fine of $50
and costs. An appeal from this decision was
taken by the defendants, who will carry the
case to the Supreme Court which meets in this

This is the second judicial decision on this
