Nav ORLEANS, February 9.-Andy
Rowen. a local lightweight, fought Char
lie Johnson, of Minneapolis, with thin
y,oves at Abita Springs today. There
had been bad blood between the men
since the recent Bowen Nc Hale fight.
powen told his managers that his fight
with Johnson would be made regardless
of monev. so the stake was fixed at 500
aside and gate receipts. Bowen was
taken sick last Wednesday with laigrippe,
and his hackers wanted to forfeit the
stake, but he would not per-
NIT it. All last night he suf'
fered with fever, and came into
the ring this morning looking badly !,
and weighed 1876 pounds. johnson was
a head taller, longer in the reach aud in
the pink OF condition. He owned up to
1877 pounds, but appeared heavier. Only
about 200 people we're present. 1t proved
a great fight, lasting three hours and
twelve minutes, and would have been
going on yet but for the arrival OF the
train.
In the first round Bowen rushed John
son and Knocked him down three times,
punishing him severely around the body,
Bowen was not hurt, bnt exhausted him
self so that he was not strong enough
thereafter to deliver the finishing touch.
After the first round he continued to
force the fighting, but his plucky leads
met with clinches and upper cuts from
Johnson.
In the sixth round Bowen cut his eye
against a stake in a clinch, and had his
lip cut in the next round. After that he
waited for Johnson to lead, and as the
latter could not be coaxed or abused into
doing it, thu fight lasted iorty-three
rounds. Bowen disobeyed his seconds
anG rushed his man, at intervals getting
in some fine body and jaw blows, and
receiving upper cut, in return. Bowen Is
facs was terribly swelled and bled freely,
and Johnson's chest, sides and back,
were cut and bruised.
In tie last few rounds Johnson
did lead several times, but Bowen
rushed him III return and did
terrible punishment considering his con-
dition. Johnson's uppsr. cutting served
him in good stead, although his returns
did not please Bowen; but when train
time came the end of the fight was as far
off as ever, and the men were told to
come forward and shake hands. Bowen
objected, but finally yielded, and that
ended his first drawn fight.
Johnson is said to be really we'll
known Northwestern lightweight, al
though some declare he is Jimmy Col
line, of st. Louis, wanted in connection
with the recent fatal fight there. The
net gate receipts were divided between
the men, while Bowen's manager gave
him 5000 stake. Bowen smashed two
knuckles OF his right hand on Johnsan's e
head during the fight. A party of rou9hs
gave considerable trouble at one time,
but were finally ejscted by the Sheriff,
who witnessed the affair as a spectator
and peace officer.

THE GKAND PACIFIC.
The Sale of the Famous Hosteiry-
Partly Denied.

CHICAGO, February 1.-The story of
the sale of the Grand Pacific hotal is de-
MED tonight in O measure. John B.
Drake, one of the proprietors of the ho-
tel, says he has an absolute lease for five
years, and no matter what sale has been
made, will continue to operate the hotel
at least that length of time. The story
about its ssle was that it was sold yester.
day to Lsvi q. Letter, and
would be torn down A curious
feature in the great hotel is that it is at
its prime, and with ample patronage.
The location Of the new Board of Trade
and many great office buildings in that
vicinity the past few years, however,
has caused an enormous rise in the value
OF real estate, and the demand for Office
buildings is so constantly increasing,
that it has rendered the operation of the
hotel there comparatively ynon-productive.
After much discus ion arbiirators and
appraisers were appointed who have
sold the building and leasehod of the
ground to Letter for $4,000, and he
will put up business block. The price
appears very curious when it is consid-
cred that the hotel cost over $3.50, 900,
and the land is among the most valuable
in the city.

AN EVENT taxes place in Salt Lake
City today that ble-discounts Sena-
tor Edmunds's bill for the suppression of
Mormonism. A year ago the American
population in the "City of the Saints"
carried the municipal election by a mar.
row majority of less than so. Today the
contest for the control of the city is to be
fought over again, and it is estimated that
the American element will win by a very
respectable majority. There has been a
great increase of population in the capi.
tai OF Utah during the past ten years.
In 1885 it was estimated at 35 ,00O
and now the estimate is put at
10000. ibis increase is almost en-
tireiy anti-Mormon, and at the present
rate the followers of that astute
leader and able executive, the late Brig
ham Young, will be in a weak minority
where he once ruled with deepotic
sway. With strong American senti-
ment in the ascendant in Salt Lake, the
peculiar family relations encouraged by
the polygamous wing of Mormopism will
coon be frowned down. Few Mormon
women will be found with faith strong
enough to stand up against the active
disfavor of their family relations devel-
oped by healthy American sense of the
essential purity of homogeneous mar
risges, and of the essential nastiness in
herent in any system based on plural
ity of wives.

WE FULLY appreciate the dilemma in
which Mayor Hazard was placed when
he was required to either veto or sign the
Retrenchment Ordinance. If he had
vetoed it the Council would have shifted
the blame OF bankrupt treasury to his
shoulders, and would probably have laid
back on their oars and refased to make
another effort. And to sign it was to en-
dorse some of the smallest and meanest
pretenees at economy that ever a muni-
cipal legislature was guilty of. The

Pennsylvania Road.

HARRISBURG, Pa, February 9.-This
morning, at Marsh's Run, near this city,
two freight trains were to take siding to
allow the Pacific express to pass. A
brakeman of the first section of the
freight left the switch open, supposing
the second section would come in on the
same track, but it took another switch.
Before the brakeman could remedy the
mistake, the express rounded curve
and dashed into the freight. All day the
track has been blocked. Fireman En-
erton was the only one killed. Engineer
Stermer and Engineer Vagle were seri-
ously hurt. but will probably recover.
Two express messengers were badly in

New ORLEANS, February S.-A sad
accident occurred this afternoon in Car
rolton. Eight boys, all residents of the
upper city, secured two pinnaces and
started out to take a ride on the river.
Their course led them between two
empty coal barges lying at the head of
Octavia street. There was a strong cur
rent running at the time, and, despite
their efforts, the yawls were hurled by
the current against the barges, causing
both boats to upset, and seven of the
eight unfortunate youths were thrown
into the river and drowned. Wilton
Beeby, aged 7, the only one who escaped,
saved himself by catching on one of the
overturned boats. None of the bodies
