BRuTEs FIGHT OVER a WOMAN.
Desperate Battle between Two Heavy

Desperate Battle between Two Heavy
weights in p Low Dive.
NEW YORK, May 10.-One OF the
most brutal fights that has ever taken
place in Newark occurred yesterday
afternoon. The combatents were Michael
Horner and Theodore Buchalsc, each
about 80 years old and weighing about
200 pounds. A buxom dame, who is
only known by the name OF "Big
Mary" with whom both men are des-
peratcly in love, was the cause of the
trouble. The men met in notorious
dive. Both men stripped to the
waist and for an hour hammered each
other in q terrible manner. Once
Horner knocked Buchalse down and tho
latter fell on dog. The animal turned
upon the PROSTATE man, and seizing
him by the neck would not relinquish
his hold until chokcd off. Horner was
afterwards kicked in the stomach and
could not come to time for several min
utes. When Buchalse seized Horner by
the throat and was slowly but surely
choking him to death, the spectators
rushed in and separated the contestants.
They were carried off almost exhausted
and terribly bruised and battered, but
swearing to meet again and fight to a
finish. The fight was witnessed by q
crowd of Italians, negroes and factory
hands numbering nearly 200 persons.

porary insanity, he conceived tho idea
OF Kidding himself and family of all

bis intention is not exactly known, as
particulars are meager, but it is known
he succeeded in killing his wife and
child, after which he ended his own life.

He is strongly condemned for having
met Hopper at Alexandria the other

not been for Bowen's good nature he
could have been forced into the ring or
else compelled to back out of the match.
He is now in training, but Bowen, who
is in prime condition, has the better of
him in the point of rest and exercise by
several weeks, and is therefore likely
to give him hard battle,

NEW YORK, May 10.-A gigantic local
IRE insurance combination is in process
of formation in this city. There are in
the metropolis in the neighborhood of
a4o fire insurance companies carrying

last fiften years combinations have been
formed to raise insurance rates and
lower brokers' commissions. But each
time there was a collapse. For some
time there has been quiet talk among
Insurance men of getting up another
combination, but with stringent rules
which would make it impossible for a
collapse to occur. The present projected

harkable case was brought to light in
the recorders court In this city this

dock this morning weeping Historically.
She had been arrested Saturday at mid
night on the charge of drunkenness,
and when called upon to plead today
she had difficulty in talking on account
of her tears. In broken sentences she
said: III am not guilty. Was never
drunk, and certainly was not drunk Sat

came down in the city to get q hat that
night and was on my way home. When
on East avenue between the two bridges
heard steps behind me. Before l
could turn around some one
threw handkerchief with chloro-
form over my face, my mouth
was held and was picked up by several
men, think, and carried away. l soon
lost consciousness, for / don't remem-
ber anything that happened from that
time until ] awoke in the Jail the next
morning. then found that had been
abused and that my pocketbook, money
and the new hat were missing" There
are circumstances which seem to bear
this statement out. Private Watchman
Haley saw two men carrying woman
at the place and time that Mrs. Yeagley
indicated, and saw them enter a shed
with her in the rear of w. H. Bucks
residence. He gives as an excise for
not interfering his belief that he had
no authority to go on private property
when there was no outcry or disturb
ance. In this shed Mrs. Yeagley was
found when arrested. She was in q
stupor, and her clothes were badly dis
arranged. Her face showed marks OF
violence, but she was not seriously in
iured. The police are completely at a
loss as to the perpetrators of the deed.

inward and the fierce blaze burst up
from the newly added fuel that rose to
the dark sky and shot its glare over the
ST. Lawrence to the southern shore and
even tinged the crest OF Mt. Royal, ten
miles distant. Then it died down into
blackness and nothing but a few broken
towers remained, bounding the seeth-
ing mass of metal and debris, under
which are now. not the bodies, but the
ashes of 100 victims.
By this time 1t was O'Clock and was
growing dark and very cold. The spring
rains had converted the place into
.quagmire, and only horsemcn could get
from place to place. The poor sisters,
most Of them young and delicate, stood
anlfle deep in the mud securing and
experimenting the removal of such fur
niture as had been saved. The patients
wandered about nimlessly, clad in scant
garments. When released many OF
them lcapcd for Joy and bounded like
deer across the fields to the woods.
Patients of both sexes escaped, and
horribly suggestive tale was borne III by
a habitant who was coming through the
woods to the scene of the disaster. A
new decade has come upon the inhabi-
tants from the presence of SO many es-
capped lunatics, and they will count
themselves fortunate if they are not
visited by series of such crimes as only
mad men can devise.
All the time the fire was burning
every high house top in Montreal had
its curious sightseers The long road
was thronged with carriages. The
transport service of Montreal was
pressed into service, and every avail
able cab, omnibus and hack went out
filled with people.
Premier Mercicr has placed the Mon
treal exhibition buildings at the dis
posal of the nuns, and tomorrow the
buildings will be stocked with provi-
sions. /!
The strangest wonder to the firemen
Is that such an absence Of fire fighting
facilities could exist. Although the ap.
plianccs were there they were utterly
useless. The institution had excellent
engines, ten good pumps and new boil
ers, but no connection existed between
the pumps and the boilers.
The Sisters Of Providence spent in
founding and organizing this institution
81, 132, 232, of which S70o, 900 was spent
on the buildings. The building was in
sured by the government for $500, 900.
With the exception of The medical de-
partment, consisting OF tho doctors, the
sisters retained complete control of all
the departments OF the asylum.
