FOUGHT TO A DRAW.
An Interesting MIL Between Mike Brcn
nan and Tommie Mccarthy.


nan and Tommie Mccarthy.
New York, Sept 49, The much talked
1t ten round bout with small gloves
between the heavy weights Mike Brennan.
champion OF Montana, and Tommie Nc.
Carthy, Of Buffalo, champion OF western
New York. took place last night at the
knickerbocker rink, in a quiet New Jersey
town. There was great interest in the con
Test for the reason that Brennan had fought
| torty-nine rounds with Joe McAuliife and
four round draw with Jem Corbett aud
that Jack Dempsey had publicly expressed
high admiration for McCarthy's skill and
strength, and predicted that he would beat
his man within ten rounds Mccarthy had
the advantage in height, weight and reach,
standing & feet tall and scaling at lS5
pounds, 20 Brennan's 5 II. o IN. in height
and weight III pounds Brennan, who is
y years old, had the advantage in expert
ence, having been in many hot battles
Mccarthy is but 20 years old.
Jack McAuiife, the light weight cham
pion, was referee Mccarthy opened the
leading aud planted several hard left hand
RS on Brennan's stomach. Brennan re-
turned for the head, hut WAS not true in
his aim, and Mccarthy easily avoided
hem. In the third round, however. Bren-
uan caught his man on the nose and drew
trst blood. In the fourth aud fifth rounds
Mccarthy was more cautious, but Brennan
landed a cOaple on the body. Near the end
pf the fifth, Mccarthy got in a still one on
Brennan's jaw and turned him around,
but failed to follow up the advantage thus
gained
In the sixth each man landed facer and
there were several clinches, in all Of which
Brennan seemed 60 do the mere effective
work. In the seventh Mccarthy twice
tried to get in right hand upper eut, but
couldn't Brennan hit him twice in the
face with his left. In this round McCar-
thy cut Brennan's under lip with a full
right handler and the blood trickled down
on his breast in stream. After that
Brennan seemed tired, and another rap on
the jaw sent him reeling about and down
70 his knees The ninth and tenth were
slow, each man evidently being willing to
keep away from the other. Jack Nc
Aulitfe declared the match draw and
the crowd applauded.

A Remarkable Suicide.

One of the most remarkable suiciues
recorded in the annals of self-destruc-
ton occurred near Chiquet, New Bruins
wick, recently. Before committing the
rash act, the self murderer, W. r. T..
Jones, dug his grave and placed rough
coffin of his own make at the bottom.
The dirt from the grave was kept from
rolling back into the excavation BY
boards held in place by trigger, to
which.a string was attached. Every
thing in readiness, the deliberate Mr..
Jones. as subsequent developments re-
vealed, got in the coffin, took dose Of
poison and then pulled the string aud
was buried beneath tons of dirt II is
believed to be one Of the most unique
and successful instances Of suicide on
record.

previously reported indications that while the
volume of general trade is heavy, there has
been distinct check to the movement of
staples to retailers as compared to the distri-
button some months ago Improvements IN
trade is reported following more seasona5l
weather at Omaha, San Francisco and lin
cinnati.
The overfiows along the lower Missi sippi
Valley have checked trade at New o. leans,
and even at st. Louis similar influence has
been felt Advices from Chicago are nod
rately cheerful. At New York, lille the
quarters total of bank elearings is 4 per cent.
larger than in 1889, for March, the total this

over the first quarter of 1889, blf the increase
in the bank elearings in the first quarter of
1889 over 1888 was II per cert.
Special investigation by Bradstreet's into
the general trade for the asst quarter and
into mercantile collection Eat twenty-one cities
shows that the late mild Winter low prices
and depression in the eopl trade have had
unfavorable effects upon retail distribution of
heavy wearing apparel and kindred goods,
and the influence of heavy stocks carried over
by retailers is reflected in a less active de-
mand than anticipated and slow collections
at many points. There is less discounting Of
bills and small demand for accommodation.
Wheat has not varied in price much, tend
ing upward toward the close Reduced stocks
abroad and crop damaged at home are the
stimulating features for our efforts have de-
clined visibly, notably from the Pacific coast.
