KNOCKED OUT.
Five Rounds Ended the Glove Contest Last
NIght-A Hard Battle The
Rounds.

Fred Nelson knocked out Charles Por-
ter in the fifth round last night with six
ounce gloves.
The fight occurred at Wade's gem
theater ard was witnessed by a large
crowd. Nelson was seconded by Herald,
and Irwin did similar duty for Porter.
Bud Fagg acted as referee and Dave
Mabry Us timekeeper. g..
1t wss a fine exhibition of the manly
art of self-defense. When the men first
appeared in the ring it was apparent that
they were there for business. They were
wary of each other for the first two
rounds, after which Nelson became as
sured of his superiority, and rushed the
fighting. AS TO the scientific feature of
the battle, the men were very
we'll matched, but Nelson was
quick with his fist, and he seldom let
loose without making an impression. He
won as much by good Judgment as hard
work. Early in the last round he got
his antagonist on the floor, and then he
pushed the work till Porter could not
rise. The rounds were thus:
Round Both men careful. Nelson
got his right on Porter's face, but the
latter returned the compliment before
the emu OF the ROUND. tVIueuL tuo
belligeTants were after gore.
Round 2.-Some shy spsring at the
opening, when Porter lead with his right
and reached Nelson's jaw. The latter
got warmed up, and landed couple of
hard ones on Porter's mug. They got
pretty we'll warmed up before the end,
and time found them in clinch.
Round 3.-This was a rough and
tumble inning. The men clinched often
and pummeled each other all over the
ring. Nelson perceived his superiority
and wanted to push things, but Porter
was not yet ready to concede the fight.
The honors of the round were even.
Round 4.-Both men on defensive,
but Nelson soon began to push and got in
hard one on the ear. Then he rush.
ed Porter against the wings and got
in boquet of hard blows. More rushing
and more fine work. Porter was visi-
bly, weakened here, and first thing he
knew he was sprawled on his back and
the call of time found him there.
Round 5.-Porter was somewhat
groggy when he got on his pins. His
left eye was too tightly closed for acute
visual operations, and his guarding
showed weakness. Nelson did not push
matters at first, but presently he began
the fireworks. He damned Porter
against the wings and got a
knock down. Chug, he knocked
him down again and again. Presently
Porter lay stretched out upon the floor,
and the call of time found him there.
When time was called for the sixth round
he was not able to get on his pins, and
the fight was given to Nelson.

LONDON, June I3.-The weavers who
are on a strike at Bennisoh, Austrian
silesia, continue their riots, which
are increasing in violence. They
have repeatedly attacked factories
and shops, destroying the machin-
cry in one and plundering the
stocks of the other. Many buildings
have been wrecked and others have been
destroyed by fire. The police have been
powerless to prevent disorder and de-
struction of property, although they
have succeeded in making an
aggregate OF $50 arrests. In many of
the encounters between the mob and the
police the latter have been pelted with
stones and other missiles, and in some
cases driven from the field of battle. 1t
is now probable that owners will concede
the demands of the men in order TO save
their remaining property from destruo-
ton.

LONDON, June 10 THE riots in Ben

terday. Rioters made number of at
tacks upon the factories and shops and
had several encounters with troops with
the result of their being finally routed
and compelled to flee to the forests. The
families of the strikers are in a starving
coalition and are obliged to rely upon
the authorities for the small supply of
food they receive. The arrival of addi-
tional troops has encouraged the waver-
ing masters to stand firm.

TRADE REVIEW.
The Marked Improvement in Crop Prospects
Tells Upon Trade Throughout
the Country.
army.

NEW YORK, June l3.-R. G. Dunn &
Co.'s weekly review of the trade says
| speculation has been neither large il
volume, nor enthusiastic in tone during
the past week, but the legitimate bust
ness of the country continues unprece-
dented in volume for the season
and highly encouraging in pros
poets. There has been quite de-
cline in exports from New York
for two weeks past, the value having
been per cent. below that of the same
weeks last year, while in imports here 8
| moderate increase continues. Last week
it was per cent. The flow of currency
to this center supplies the demands
and makes the market easy.
The interior cities report rather more de-
mand for money and at Boston rates are
rising; at Chicago and st. Louis steady
and at Philadelphia dull, not much COM
mercial paper offering; but ct most
points the demand is fair with q sufficient
supply.
The crop prospects begin TO rule all
markets at this season, and they are dis
tinctively improving. Wheat has de-
clined 1890, oats lc and corn 38c. Cot

pork have scarcely changed in price and
the rise of PIC in oil is purely specula-
tive. A better demand for refined sugar
IS alleged as the reason for an advance of
3ac in price, but other reports in
dictate that dealers are not buying
freely at the high prices now asked. The
general level of prices is but a shade
higher than week ago, and the pre-

toward a lower range of quotations for a
time.
The capacity of the iron furnaces IN
blast June l was $50, 795 tons against
$50, 099 May l, and 131, 100 year ago.
The tone of the market is fairly conf
dent. Eastern markets are said
to have checked the inoipient advance
IN prices in order not to establish
a market for southern and western pro-
ducers to unload on. The demand for
various forms of manufactured iron and
steel is still good, and prices are steady.
The wool market has been
dull. Philadelphia and Chicago reports
indicate that growers are holding for
higher prices, but no improvement is
dress goods are in fair re-
weight cloths are small. Flannel
mills generally are cutting down their
production. Reports from other cities
show a healthy state of trade with clear
signs of improvement where better crop
prospects have immediate influence. The
Chicago grain receipts are heavy, also
hide receipts, but the wool receipts fall
go per cent. below last years. with good
collections. There is little present ac-
tivity in clothing, though there are
bright prospects for the fall trade.
St. Louis notes strong trade in
nearly all lines. Pittsburg reports
continued activity in iron, flint and
glasses and the Northwestern and South
cru cities generally report better trade
with brighter crop outlook.

throughout the country during the last
seven days number 212, as compared
with POS last week. For the correspond

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
The Tale Related by Brother of Two Of the
Victims.

Victims.
Judge J Il. Davis, editor of push
ing paper at Mount Vernon, Tex. was
in the city last evening. He was on his
way to Arson, Jones county, and told
the following story as the reason for his
trip.
Judge Davis had two brothers, John
and Garrett, residing in New Mexico,
engaged IN the cattle business. Last
Christmas at Sooorro, n. NJ. Christ
mas dance was held, and Garrett Davis,
being popular in the vicinity, was chosen
floor manager. During the night man
named Greslett, manager of the Musca-
tine cattle company, created a
disturbance, and was told by
Garrett Davis that he must
evaouate the room. He was put
out. Later on GresIett was discharged
from the management of the Muscatine
cattle company's affairs, and Garrett
Davis was given the place. Greslett
was wroth over Davis success :.
A couple of days ago John and Garrett
Davis encountered Greslett at q point
about seventy-five miles west of So
zorro, and the latter opened
fire on the two brothers, killing
John Instantly. Garrett was also
fatally wounded, and as his last breath
escaped his body he raised on his side
and shot Greslett dead.
The Davis brothers are to be buried at
Arson to-day, and to attend their
funeral is the sad mission which took
Judge Davis through Fort Worth last
evening.

WICHITA FALLS, TEX, June 13.-The
reputation that this county has in the
old states as a wheat producing county
can be judged BY the fact that during
the past week there has been one party
of four gentlemen here from James,
town, n. Y, who have a
new and improved reaper of very
light draft They came here
for the express purpose of testing the
machine, believing that by having testi-
monlals from the farmers of this county
as TO the merits of the binder they
would be amply repaid for their long and
expensive trip.
There is also another party from
Cedar Rapids. Iowa, who have
something new in the way
of a binder. They, like the New York
state men, had heard of this famous
wheat belt. The Iowa gentlemen have q
reaper that will bind with straw. This
machine, if a success, will be q great
saving to the farmers OF the United
States. The matter of Irvine is quite q
heavy tax.
