Test of the Courts-Other Coast News.

FRESNO, CAL, May 25.--A few days

An English Referee Awards Fight to
the Defeated Man.
New YoRK, May 25s--A special cable
to the Police Gazette says: The oft
postponed prize fight between Dick
Burge, of Newcastle, and Jem Carney,
of Birmingham, for 91000 and the light
weight championship of England, was
decided today. The battle was fought
in the hop malt exchange boxing room.
Betting was 100 to 80 on Carney, and
several heavy bets were registered Car
ney had the best OF the fighting from
the start, and punished Burge terribly.
After the men had fought eight rounds,
it was any odds that the champion
would win; 100 to 30 was laid by Chip
Morton. In the ninth round Carney
fought the Newcastle man to a
standstill. In the tenth round,
Burge showed great pluck and
made game effort to turn the tables,
but Carney landed his left heavily on
Burgess neck and fought him to the
ropes. In the eleventh round Burge
clinched Carney. Desperate in-fghting
followed until they broke away, when
Carney knocked Burge down by a tre-
mendous blow on the left ear. Bulge's
seconds, on seeing their man defeated,
shouted Foul" and to the surprise OF
all present, the referee awarded the
fight to Burge. Intense indignation
was expressed with the decision.
Carney cried like a child at the injus-
tice done him. The men fought with
two ounce gloves. Both pugilists were
terribly punished, especially Burge.
The fight lasted forty-two minutes.

BARDSLEY STILL In BED.
THE QUAKER CITY'S DEFA ULTINc
TREASURER IN A BAD FIX.
His Bail Raised to $5o,ooo-The Fu-
gitive Bank President Not Yet Found.

PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-City Treas
urer Bardsley was still too i'll this NOM
ing to appear before magistrate to
answer the charge of misappropriaring
,city money. The hearing was continued
till Friday next, and his bail fixed at
$25, 900.
This afternoon the attorney-general
had an affidavit prepared and presented
to Magistrate Pole, charging Bardsley
With having collected $56, ,604 belonging
10 the State Of Pennsy y1vania, and failing
to account for the same. Magistrate
Pole thereupon increased Bardsley's bail
from s25 900 to $4,000.
Two detectives have remained in a
room adjoining Bardsley's bed room
since Saturday night, when the first
wBrrant was served. In view of Bards-
ley's condition it is hardly likely that
any effort will be made to secure bail.
THE FUGITIVE BANK PRESIDENT.
Up to late this afternoon Gideon w.
Marsh, the fugitive president of the
keystone National bank, has not been
located. A detective agency, acting for
Marsh's bondsmen, is working diligently
and sparing no expense in efforts to ap-
nrehend the fugitive. A description of
the missing man has been sent to va
rious United States and foreign ports,
and the agency offers $1,000 reward for
Marsh's arrest and detention.

THE ITATA AFFAIR.

No News of the Charleston-NavaI Oficers
Roman Mute.
WAsHNGroN, May 25.--The fact that
mo word was received at the navy de-
,partment today from the Charleston is
taken as an indication that she has gone
on down the Peruvian coast towards
Callao. Respecting the reiterated state
nents from Paris to the effect that the
insurgents have arranged to surrender
the Itata to the United
States naval authorities when
she reaches Chile, the officials of
the navy department stand mute. 1t
may be stated, however, that there
have been no negotiations between this
government and the Chilean insurgents
upon the subject. Still it is plainly
evident that some kind of under
standing has been or is expected to be
reached, which will result in the easy
transfer of the ltata to either Admiral Nc
Cam or Admiral Brown should she reach
Chile. This, of course, would not be in
the shape OF formal agreement, but an
intimation may already have been con-
yeyed to our naval officers at IQuique by
the insurgents, that such a course will
be pursued, and doubtless this has
formed the basis of many OF the cable
grams that have passed between Wash
ington and Iquique during the last two
weeks

SAN Francisco, May 25.-The directors

Jackson. Jackson expressed his willing
ness to fight again, and offered to cancel
his arrangement for match with God

to Furnish Racing News.
CHICAGO, May 25. The Corrigan s.
racing associa ton met defeat and rep
rimand before Judge Blodgett, in their
application for an injunction to restrain
the Western Union company from
charging them more than other associa-
tions are charged for racing news. The
court said without considering any
other phase of it, the contract the court
is called upon to force the telegraph
company into, is of such doubtful
character that courts ~of equity cannot
respect it. This furnishing of news OF
horse-racing is a species Of gambling,
and it is against public policy. 1t en-
ables people to gamble on horse races at
other points without going there. The
court might just as we'll compel the
Western Union to report a prize fight by
rounds, and let the association sell the
pools on it. The motion for an injunc-
tion is overruled."

CHICAGO, May 25.-Captain Ewers,
U. S. A., agent at Tongue River agency,
was in the city to-day and had an inter
view with General Miles about the sit
uation among the Indians in the west.
The captain has just completed tour
of the camps within radius or 200
miles of the Tongue River agency,
and he said the people now
to be feared were not Indians,
but cattlemen who want all the land
they can grab for their cattle to roam
over, and will not allow any one else to
establish themselves. The cattlemen,
Captain Ewers said, were the people
who stirred up the Indians by stealing
their land and taking advantage of
them in every way, and the Indians are
complaining bitterly of the encroach-
ments of these marauders.

why the second and third wards of the
City of Port Huron have deprecated
in taxable real estate value within
the last ten years, or if unable to do
so, hide their heads with shame, when
meeting the tax payers of the back
Towns. 1t is time that everybody
did some thinking for himself; it is

look at this swindle as it is, and meas

two wards were equalized at less, by
S74, 200, i'll the year 1890, than in 1880.
The combine has been more clever to
these two wards than the others,
making it possible to avoid paying
a State and County tax ON an acquired
substantial growth of over S2,000,000
between the year 1880 and 1890. There
is nobody who is conversant with the
growth of the city of Port Huron
within the last ten years, but agrees
that every foot of its real estate is
trebled in maket value; and they are
fully aware, that the increase of its
personal wealth has also trebled within
the same time. While on the other
hand every farmer and every resident
of the rural villages knows of the great
depression of values of both farm and
village property. The farm lands,
taking worn out farms, farms with lit
tie or no improvement, unreclaimed
land with the loss by the great fires of
all valuable timber, cannot be sold to-
day taking all together for $1,000 per
acre. What will become of the rural
Towns and Villages, if this infamous
those Judas. lscariOts among
should still be permitted to ply
their Infamous trickery?
The time has arrived, if it ever will
arrive, when pleasant speech should
he permitted to deceive or impose
upon the credulity of the people no
longer. 1t is time that lessons should
be taught shysters and demagogues by
the people. WILLIAM GOwAN.
