PRIZE FIGHT AT BENW00D YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON,
In Which Jack Gallaher, the Ball Player, Get
Badly Pummsllsd-A Country Boy With
Bis Fighting Pants On.

There was an interesting prize fight ON
the river bank below the ferry landing at
Benwood yesterday afternoon. Unlike the
Jackson-Corbett encounter, it was to a
finish.
Several chaps who had been working on
new railroad near Steubenville came
down the river to Bellaire in a skiff They
desired to leave on the steamer Liberty
and sold their boat to the owner of a house
boat near Cochrap's wharf, on the Ohio
side. After the sale had been consumma-
ted the strangers watched the operations of
game of chance for time but failed to
bite. Finally Jack Gallaher, the ball
player, intimated that there was no one in
the crowd that had any sand in his COM
position
The larger fellow of the crowd vowed
that he was full of sand One word
brought on another and finally fight was
arranged for purse Of $50. The money
was promptly put up, and Gallaher and the
green CHAP prepared for battle. The
location for the fistic encounter was set
tied and crowd that filled several skiffs
! left Bellaire for the West Virginia side
A ring was marked out, and everything
was in readiness No time was lost as the
combatants were afraid of being arrested
Right and left blows rained in quick sue
cession. Gallaher's eye suffered first and
then the right optic of his opponent sud
denly took on reddish hue.
The stranger used his teeth to advantage
on Gallaher's arm. The latter punished his
adversary by Sullivanistic iaw-breaker
The ARRAY continued with increasing in
terest for a time, but the Bellaire boy final
| ~ had to give up. He did it like man.
Just at this time several blue-coats APP
peared on the bank above. There was u
great scramble for the skifls. One or two
witnesses waded into the water up to their
knees in order to leave the scene of conflict
| Gallaher made no attempt TO escape. and
an officer collared him. The other contest
ant jumped into a boat just as the police
man who carried revolver in his
hand was about to nab him. The
gang arrived safely in Bellaire, but the
victorious contestant was unable to find
the stakeholder, John McCarty. He had
skipped He waited about for time with
his friends, and then fearing arrest left for
his home down the river The contest was
an out and out fighs. The stranger &C
\ knowledges Gallagher good man, but he
thinks he lett the impression with the Bel
laire gang that he haG more sand " in his
composition than his appearance indicated
Gallagher was badly punished. The boys

VICTIM OF A RUNAWAY TEAM.
John Gill Meets Death While Trying to
Head or Fractions Horse.

There was sad occurrence in the vicin-
ity of the Second ward market house yes
terday afternoon about half past twelve.
a horse attached 10 wagon owned by Ohm
McGannOn. tue butcher, while standing at
the market house, became frightened and
started 20 run away, down Market street.
A farmer by the name of John Gill at
tempted to head the fractions animal of by
running out into the street and throwing
up an umbrella. This melted the beast to
new tactics, the horse making sudden
turn up Eleventh street. In making
the turn the wagon skewed around
in such way that the rear wheel struck
Gill on the side and back, and he was
thrown with great force against the curo-
ing and lamp post at the southeast corner
or Eleventh and Market street. He was
hurled almost headlong, and no sooner did
he strike the post than he fell senseless.
A crowd quickly gathered about the un-
fortunate man. He was taken into the
Chemical Engine House, where DR.. w. ID.
Clinton, who happened to be near by at the
time, was summoned. The man
was quickly examined as to
the extent of his injuries,
and while nothing serious was apparent, II
was soon evident that he was too far gone
to render medical service of any avail, the
man uuuOuUiCull nav iHe ISbtlNCu OOHSu9-
sion of the brain, by the terrific force
with which his head struck the post. He
died in a few moments after being taken
into the engine house. Telephone calls
were sent to DR.. Reed Baird and DR.. Camp
bell, also Rev. Father McElligot, of the
Cathedral, but the gentlemen were unable
TO reach the scene before the man expired.
CLIPS remains were taken to Friend X
Sons undertaking establishment, where
Coroner Phillips held an inquest, render
ing a verdict in accordance with the above
facts.
Gill was man about fifty years OF age,
and rented the farm Of Peter Wendell, up
Wheeling creek, where he lived with his
wife and children. One daughter
lives with the family of John Nc
Carroll, at 1856 Market street. Gill had
come into the city with farmer friend 10
make some purchases for his household.
The runaway animal was not stopped until
it reached Twelfth street, going down
Chapline.

Answer to North End Democrat.

To the Editor Of the Register:
SR:-In an article in this morning S
issue of the REGISTER. signed North End
Democrat" two of the Committee on
Finance are uniustly criticised.
To understand the situation the public
must know that there is in the city treas
ury, in the general fund, 81, 7Sl04. This is
the only fund available for paving North
Market street, and the public can readily
see that it is inadequate to do the work.
When Mr. Roller, the spokesman of the
North Market street delegation got
through with his speech, the proposition
was put to them, TO show US where to get
the money and we would recommend that
the work be done. 1t was clearly under
stood by the Finance Committee that there
was not nearly enough money to do the
work, and, therefore, when the proposition
was made, it struck two of the Committee
as being eXcruciatingly funny.
In conclusion, we would say that the two
of the Committee hold all Of the delegation
in high esteem. and if it is ever in their
power to grant their petition, they will do
so willingly, cheerfully, gladly. Nobody
regrets our inability to pave North Market
street more than do the two

my own case, my baby boy. then about FIVE
months old, was suffering with what ! supposed
to be the same disease as mine, to such an eX-
tent that his head was coated over with solid
scab from which there was constant flow Of
pus which was sickening to look upon, besides
two large tumor-like kernals on the back OF his
head. Thanks to your wonderful CUTICURA
REMEDIES, his scalp Is perfectly well, and the
kernalS have been scattered so that there is
only one little place by his left ear, and that is
healing nicely. Instead Of a coating of scabs
he has fine coat OF hair, much better than that

two shots were fired by man named
