M'AULIFFE VRIPS GIBBONS.
stopped by the Police After Six Very
Iiyely Rounds

NEW YoRK, Sept. u.-Sporting men say
that no prize-fight has attracted such uni.
versal interest since the great battle be.
tween Dempsey and Fitzsimmons. as the
lightweight championship match between
Jack McAuliffe and Austin Gibbons, which
was contested tonight before the Granite
Association of Hoboken.
Prominent sporting men from all parts
of the country We're present, eager to see
Gibbons, the young Jerseyman, who,
though victorious in all his previous bat
ties, had never before faced a man in
McAuliffe's class. Owing to tho fact that
Gibbons had decidedly the advantage in
both height and reach many people be-
lieved that they were going to see a repeti-
ton OF Dempsey's downfall in New
Orleans, as Gibbons is another one of those
long, lanky, powerful fellows of the Fitz-
simmons order.
There were 1000 spectators present. As
the men entered the ring both were cheered.
After the usual preliminaries the men
settled down to work. For 81 rounds they
pummeled away at one another Paterson's
boxer getting the worst of it all tile way
through. He was clearly outfought out
generated and unmatched.
In the middle of the sixth round Captain
Hayes Of the police force, stepped in and
ended the fight, and then there was a big
howl from all quarters, and il looked Tor Il
time as if there would be 500 fights instead
of one.
Jere Dunn, the referee. awarded the
battle to McAuliffe, and this brought out
more yells. Tim Gibbons saws he will ask
the courts to enioin Richard X. Fox from
paying to McAulitfe the $1,000 stakes.
A rumor was in circulation that the
Jersey friends of Gibbons had prompted
the police interference, and this promised to
make trouble. There is general dissatis-
faction over the result. The Granite Club
comes out about $4,000 ahead on the fight.

Carried Away by a Balloon.

JACKSON, MICH, Sept. 1.-THE first
night balloon ascension ever heard of
was made here last night and came near
costing Thomas II. Phillips his life. AT
$50 the balloon, which had been in
tiated with hot air, shot up with w. G.
Waite on the trapeze, hanging to rope.
Under pyramid of japanese lanters,
which had been attached to the balloon,
was Phillips, he had become entangled
in a half-inch rope which had caught
the belt he was wearing. The balloon
shot up 800 feet, but Phillips main
tanned his hold on the rope until the
balloon descended with the double
weight and he landed under the wheels
of a buggy. The buggy passed over his
thigh injuring him somewhat. The bal
loon again rose after Phillips had landed
and Prof. Waite gained an elevation of
300 feet. He landed safely.

A FATE RICHLY DESERTED.
He Was Doubie-dyed Villain and Lyncl
Law WAS .IistlY Metnh ONT tn Him.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA special from New
Albany, Ind. says; Wednesday night, at
Sellerbnrg, eight miles from here, John
Bennett criminally assaulted two l3-year-
old girls, Nola Smith and Jennie Stock
dale. The Smith girl lived in the Bennett
family, and Mrs. Bennett being called
from home, left her to take care of the
house and cook her husbands meals.
Wednesday night the girl asked Jennie
Stockdale to spend the night with her.
In the middle Of the night Bennett
entered the room and committed the as
sault. The girls, as soon as possible, noti-
fled their mothers, who with about 30
women, armed themselves with clubs and
stones, and, going to BENEFITS house
caught him and gave him terrible beat
ing. When they left he hitched a fast
horse to his buggy and fed.
From 10 to 75 men went in pursuit of
the fugitive. Trainmen arriving here
early this morning say that Bennett was
caught late last evening in Wood township
by posse Of his pursuers, hanged to a
tree and his body shot full OF bullets. The
locality is remote from telegraph station
and the wires cannot be used to verify the
report. NOla Smith, one of the victims,
is SO badly injured that she will die.

PEACH GROWERS, C0MPIAIyE
They Ailege That shippers Have over
charged Them In the Matter of lreiyhts

They Ailege That Shippers Have over
charged Them In the Matter of Freights
There is considerable stir in the peach
shipping centres, notably around Clayton,
over the threats of number of peach
growers to institute suits against certain
shippers of the fruit for alleged over
charges in freights.
A great many peach shipments are
handled on behalf OF the growers by
shippers at various stations, who charter
cars from the railroad company at a GER
tain rate per car for each trip. The general
capacity of the cars is 500 baskets each
and the freight charges to the growers are
assessed at a rate per basket bassed upon
the 500 estimate. But many of the cars
will contain over 600 baskets, and in this
case the commission men, who nav the
freight and deduct it from the growers re-
turns, charge the same rate per basket ms
though there were but 500 baskets. From
Clayton; for instance, the rate per car to
Philadelphia is $50, or Is cents per basket
al the rate OF 800 baskets to the car. But
when 600 baskets are loaded upon a car.
the commission man, it is alleged, charges
the grower l6 cents on each basket, or a n
excess of SIG over the chartered rate for
the car, which amount is returned to the
shipper. The latter also receives a draw
back from the railroad company, so that
his part OF the peach business is very
profitable
The shippers claim that their arrange.
lments are strictly legal and business-like
but many growers hold a contrary opinion
and threaten to go to law for redress

The Vanishing Vera Ava Is None Other
Than Miss Diss Debar, the Spook
Priestess.
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.--No trace has
been found of Miss Vera Ava, the al
legged wealthy English woman, who
came here some weeks ago TO work for
the reclamation of fallen women and
who suddenly disappeared on Wednes-
day evening.
Concerning her identity an afternoon
paper says: Vera Ava it is now ascer-
tanned is none other than Ann O'Delia
Diss Debar, the spook priestess of New
York.
She was seen on the street and recog-
nized by a New York newspaper
woman who called upon Police Lieu
tenant S. Heat this morning and told
him of her discovery.
According to the New York lady, the
notorious spirltualist carried stock Of
wigs and other make-ups, and has Of
late been travelling across the country
swindling gullible church people.

statements furnished me by the lady

A BRoEER,s SUICIDE.



Desperate Act.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-About 8
O'Clock this morning the ianitor of the
Haehnlen building, at No. 41S Library
street, discovered the dead body Of
Charles NJ. Stokes, ST., well-known
stock broker, lying on the floor of the
room he occupied as an office.
There was bullet hole through the
dead mans head, and beside the body
lay revolver with one chamber dis
charged. The case was evidently one
OF suicide, and the police were notified
and took charge Of the body pending
the arrival of the coroner. The exact
time of the suicide cannot be fixed.
AS yet no one has been found who
saw Mr.. Stokes later than o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Some time after that
hour he must have gone to his office
and shortly after his arrival there shot
himself.
The deed was evidently committed
while Mr.. Stokes was seated in front of
his desk, for the cloth top was deeply
stained with blood. After shooting
himself Mr.. Stokes evidently arose from
bis chair and made his way into the
front office, where his body was found,
as blotches Of blood are visible on the
floor of the inner office to the other one.
The supposition that Mr.. Stokes shot
himself some time late yesterday after
loon Or early in the evening is borne
out by the fact that the blood stained
cloth on top of the desk was dry or
nearly SO this morning when the suicide
was discovered. No known reason can
be ascribed for the suicide. Mr.. Stokes
was q man about 60 years of age and
was one of the best known stock brokers
in this city. He was member
of the stock brokerage firm of j. G.
Walmough 81 Co., which for years has
represented the Philadelphia Traction
Company on the floor of the exchange,
the dead man leaves a wife and six
children.
