AWARDED TO MURPHY.
The Australian Matched With Warren
4 Riotous Crowd.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 14-Biily
| Murphy. of Australia, and Tommy War
| rem, of California, met at the gymnasium
Of the Occidental Athletic club tonight
for purse Of 81, 800 and the featherweight
| championship. The fact that both men
were so well known IN sporting circles
here caused great interest to be taken in
the match.
1t was $3.50 when the fight commenced
and it proved to be one of the shortest ever
seen III the club rooms in this city,
Murphy opened the first round by
reaching Warren's neck with his
right. The latter countered on the Aus
tralian's jaw, and Murphy led odt
with d straight right hama blow which
caught warren on the neck and sent him
down. He rose in an instant aud struck
Murphy on the jaw before the round
closed.
In the second round Murphy again
reached Warren's neck aud sent him
heavily against the ropes. The latter
rallied and in-fghting closed the round.
In the third Warren did most of the
leading and gave the Australian half
dozen staggering right and left hand
blows III the jaw and on the
body. Murphy was apparently distressed
and when the men came up for the fourth
-CtAllu It SJdkGCu i'll WIN q vicious IuSu
and led with his right and left. Warren
saved himself from knock out by careful
sparring ana dodging. Finally the men
came together in 4 clinch. The referee
tried to separate them, but in the wresgle
the two fell to the floor, Warren under
meath with Murphy's knees pressing heav-
lily on his stomach. Murphy rose, and
Warren still lay on the floor holding his
hand III evident pain over the spot where
Murphy knee had been digging into him.
immediately loud cries of foul were heard
and as Warren did not rise the
excitement became great. When Warren
at last reached his feet, ten seconds had
passed aud Murphy. supposing the fight
was ended, had gone TO his corner ana sat
down. The confusion was so great, how
ever, that il was impossible to hear the
referees decision. Murphy rose and
walked TO Warren's corner and the men
resumed the fighting Murphy struck
Warren on the jaw, knocked him down,
and just as he was rising the police broke
into the ring and stopped the fight.
The greatest confusion again ensued.
Warrens friends commenced To yell FOUL
and the referee tried in vain to announce
the decision. The decision was the cause
of another outburst, but the referee re-
malned firm and the crowd soon dispersed. |
The referee awarded the fight TO Murphy.

A CRITICAL CONDITION.
The Levees from Memphis to New Orleans
Liable to be Broken.

VICKsBUEC, Miss. March Il. - The
steamer Helen Mead, under charter to
Louisiana levee Tor the past few days, re-
turned here last night. Her master re-
ports the weakest places on the Louisiana
side are at Wilson's point, Alsatia and
Lonewood levees, but the conditions are
critical everywhere. At Willow point,
La. he found water running over the
IeYee. He an experienced river man and
considers that Louisiana will inevitably
90 under even if the Mississippi. jevees
were down.
President Maxwell, of the Louisiana
levee board, is in the city to buy material.
He takes more hopeful view OF
the situation and says his people
are still hopeful and working, though
owing to rains in the past few
days they have done little beyond patch
ing the levees. The contractors still have
their hands tools and camp at LongwOod,
but have sent away their teams because
unable to use or feed them at Longwood.
They went TO Lake Providence Colonel
Maxwell thinks Pecan Grove levee is safe.
There is plenty of good dirt there, a good
protection levee and the main line can be
completed in four days good weather
He considers Alsatia leyee the most dan
gerous point Oh the Louisiana line and the
one whose crevasse would do the most
damage. Barges and 100 men are at work
there. He regards the situation as
very alarming With floods Of rain
aud high water in the up
per rivers, he thinks some lavees
must 90, bpt not necessarily on the LOuisi-
ana siue. Work viii be resumed along
the whole line as soon as the weather
breaks. lie says the people of Louisiana
are determined 10 hold their side.
The Queen * Crescent authorities are
confident they can operate the Shreveport
division for some days after the crevasse
occurs, but do not think the service can
last week, being satisfied that the over
How can not be averted. They only guar
antee freight trains for few days. Als;,-
Tia levee would not flood their tracks, but
Pecan Grove or LOngwoOd levees, If down,
world compel a suspension.
At Bolivar the river is rising rapidly but
the levee is iii superb condition and 40 ap-
prehension Is felt. The circle ievee back
Of Laconia viii break before Tuesday
next. The water is within ten inches of
the top and rising rapidly. There are coo
people living inside the circle Of whom $50
are white. The negroes Will suffer from
hunger unless ratiOnS are served by the
government. The whites are able to take
care of themselves The destruction to
stock and other property will be enormous.
The Arkansas levee, which commences at
PoSsum Fork, about 100 miles above the
Louisiana line, Is not to be compared with
Mississippi leyee and will be washed
almost entirely away by the present high
water if the coming rise proves as great as
l. expected The condition OF affairs at
SappingtCn HoOt remains unchanged.
