In jackson Park.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-Probably the most
important meeting yet held by the
worlds fair directory was concluded just
before midnight, tonight. When an
adjournment was taken the directors
had formally voted to abandon the lake
front as part of the site of the exposi-
tion, and the fair will now be concen-
trated at jackson park.
Estimates were submitted showing a
saving OF million dollars in construc-
tion and operating expenses by putting
all the fair in one place, and this, to-
gether with the interminable delays
encountered in harmonizing the various
interests affected in the use OF the lake
front, resulted in sending the entire
show to the southern part of the city.
Nothing will be- done with the lake
front, save to beantify it with fountains
and statuary as memorials OF the exhi-
bition.
A delegation OF labor leaders presented
demands for the employment of union

the establishment Of the arbitration
system. The directory promised to pass
upon their demands before the contracts

SLEET AND SNOW.
INCLEMENT WEATHER BEYOND
THE ROCKIES.
Thursday Nights Storm Was One of the
Worst Of the Season-Teiegraphic Com
munication Paralyzed.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The sleet storm OF
last night was the most serious in effect
: os1tciegraphic communication, expert
enced here for years. This morning
nearly all the train dispatchers in the
railroad Offices here we're without COM
munication with outside points, and
trains ran as best they could without or
ders. Fortunately no accidents occurred.
Great forces of linemen are out and
communication with all points is be-
ing gradually restored. The Western
Union company suffered more than at
any time since the great sleet storm OF
1883. Not only the wires but many
poles were down. The Postal company
was in the same condition. The signal
service predicts that the warm rain of
today will be followed by colder weather
tomorrow.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 20.-A heavy snow
storm prevailed yesterday in South Da-
kota and Southern Minnesota, the snow
fall being heavy and general. Today it
was showing hard IN North Dakota, and
the northern part of Iowa there was a
heavy sleet storm. There has been no
delay in the railroad service thus far,
ANToNITo, Colo, Feb. 2O.-A terrific
snow storm and wind has been raging
tor the past three days over the noun
tain range west of Antonito.
Railroad traffic is entirely suspended
toward Durango. The Durango express,
which passed through Wednesday morn
ing, is now cooped up in the noun
tains.
Reports from all over the northwest
indicate that the heaviest snow storm OF
the season prevailed last night. Rail-
way traffic is not interrupted much
trains through Wisconsin, however, are
delayed somewhat by the sleet. Tele-
graphic communication with all points
west and northwest is badly demor-
allied, but as large force OF linemen is
at work repairing the damage, every
thing is Expected to be in shape soon.

sorted to clinches when possible
Fifth Round-Some hot mitigating,
with little material advantage, marked
this round.
Sixth Round-Mitchell got good left
on the Marines cheek, the latter twisted
him backward to the floor, but apollo
gized at cries of foul. He again rushed,
but Mitchell caught him each time on
the ribs, ducking as he did so. Cries of
foul were made several times by the
fiends of both men.
Seventh Round-The referee cautioned
Mitchell to stand and fight. Some good
counters followed. Mitchell caught the
Marine right-hander or the nose, send
ing him to the floor. LaBlanche seemed
dazed when he got up, but lodged the
clinches OF Mitchell, and with one or
two good stops bade fair to wind him.
Near the end of the round Mitchell went
down from a light tap.
Eighth Round-Mitchell found the
Marines mouth with left-hand stop,
which was the only good blow of the
round.
Ninth Round Mitchell grazed the
Marines cheek with his right, and the
Marine dropped to the floor. The latter
endeavored to get in his right several
times, but it was stopped each time.
Tenth RoundEMitchelps stops were
too much for the Marines rushes, and
punch full in the chest sent him to the
floor.
Eleventh Round-The men warmed
up to work in this round, and the ex-
change of blows was more even.
Twelfth Roundabout the middle of
the round. few blows having been
struck, after little fddling by La
Blanche, Mitchell, in stopping lead OF
the Marines, hit him lightly with his
left on the jaw. The Marine dropped,
and rolling over on his face, remained
raised on his wrist until counted out.
He was roundly ieered by the spectators
on leaving the ring.
THE DECISION HELD IN ABEYANCE.
Immediately after the close of the
| fight the board of directors of the club
held meeting for the purpose of award
ing the victory. The circumstances Of
the fight were so suspicious, however,
that the directors decided to make no
award, and postponed consideration Of
the matter until next Monday night,
when meeting will be held for the
purpose. AS the articles of agreement
say the fight must be won to the salts
faction Of the club, all bets remain open
until the directors decision is rem
dered.

debris, the sight was awful. Dead and
roasted bodies in all conceivable atti-
tudes were found. One man was still
alive when taken out, but died in few
minutes. Every fresh body brought out
steamed as if it had been parboiled.
The dead are: Mrs. Nellie Supple,
John Hancke, John Murray and James
Flynn, car cleaner; H. Killain, train
boy, and an unknown man burned be-
yond recognition, supposed to be col
ored sleeping-car porter. Daniel Gull
berte,. William D. Brown and another
employee, named Rankin, were badly
but not fatally hurt.
Engineer Fowler, OF the New Haven
train, was committed without bail. Both
he and the fireman assert that the block
signals were set for a clear track, the
lights on the rear OF the Boston train
had been extinguished, and the fog was
too dense for them to see it.

LEFT TO THEIR FATE.
SEVEN MEN ABANDONED ON A
DESERT ISLAND.
A Dastardly Trick Played on Them by
Their Partner-Rescued After Over
Two Months Privation.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 20.-The Chron-
icle's San Diego special says: About
two months ago Captain Bartells, an
aged shipmaster, was arrested for as
sault and battery upon another seaman,
and in Justice Sloane's court on the
day of his trial he created sensation
by assaulting the complaining witness
while on the stand, and badly injuring
him. Upon being fined for contempt of
court, he wound up the performance, by
cursing the judge and other officials. He
was admitted to bail and that night
boarded his vessel and departed for past
ures new, leaving his bondsmen to suf-
fer. 1t seems that before he left here,
he had gathered seven men, named Jill
lison, Anderson, Smith, Hartz, Reddy,
Mccoy and Johnson, to go down to
Guadalupe island and kill wild goats
for their hides and tallow. Bartells
was to do the TRANSPORTATION, sell
the product, furnish provisions and
divide at stated intervals the proceeds.
They had been there since last Septem-
Der, and everything went all right until
the 1st OF December. A few days prior
to that day, the vessel arrived at Guada-
lupe from San Pedro, where Bartells had
disposed of about 1000 goat skins and a
large quantity of lard, estimated in
value at 800. The. vessel was again
loaded with skins and tallow, and late
in the afternoon of November 30th, the
money for the last sale and all the pre-
vious sales, was to have been
divided according to contract. Bar
tells feigned sickness and proposed
to put settlement off until the
following morning. The men agreed, and
went ashore for the night. On going to
the beach next day, they were horrified
to find that no vessel was in sight. Bar
tells had sailed away during the night,
and had taken away with him not only
the money, but all the provisions. AT
the time the men were out OF flour,
sugar, coffee and salt. They had but a
pound or so OF sea biscuits left, and after
two days these were exhausted. Having
no cartridges, powder or lead, they were
compelled to resort to all sorts Of
primitive means to capture goats
for meat and their bread
| for two months and five days
consisted OF palm seed pounded into
-four and baked without salt. Water
was scarce, and vile at that. On the 9th
day of this month the schooner Ellen
returning from shell hunting cruise
was compelled to put under shelter ol
the island on account of bad weather
and the men, more dead than alive
managed to attract the attention of the
captain, and they were taken on boarG
the vessel and cared for. After an un
eventful trip the schooner has arrived al
San Diego.

New YoRK, Feb. 2O.--A horrible acci.

middle of the railway tunnel through
Fourth avenue, near Eighty-fifth street,
resulting in the death OF six people, and
the painful injury of several more. The
Boston express, which had been emptied
Of passengers, was moving slowly through
the tunnel toward the shops where it
was to be cleaned. There was dozen
or more car-cleaners on board. The fog
was dense. The New Haven accommo-
dation train, which left the Grand Cen
trail station soon after, came up at a
high rate of speed, and crashed into the
rear of the other train, COM
pletely demolishing the two last

DEsoLATIoN AND RUIN
Caused BY the Overflow of the Ohio and
Its Tributaries. .

NnEELING, w. Va, Feb. 20.-The
river is falling here very rapidly. The
scene in the flooded districts is one OF
desolation and ruin. There is much suf-
fering among the poorer classes. At
Parkersburg and points between Wheel
ing and that place the situation is very
discouraging. At Parkersburg the water
is still rising. The damage cannot now
be estimated, but it is enormous, and
suffering is great. The deluge
has completely paralysed business
and the city of Parkersburg is cut off
from the outside world. The suburban
town of Riverside is still covered, and
the inhabitants aare camping on the
hills until the water subsidies.
A special from Findlay, O., says: The
Blanchard river is driving all the
residents of the lower section out OF
their houses and doing considerable
damage to property. Not for twenty
years has the river been so high.

A FISTIC FARCE.
THE MATCH BETWEEN La BLANCHE
AND YOUNG MITCHELL.
The Marine Knocked Out in Twelve
Rounds-The Awarding of the Victory
Postponed-Was It a Put Up Job?

SAN Francisco, Feb. 2O.-The Califor-
MIA Athletic club tonight resumed its
monthly glove contests which had been
discontinued since September, last. The
principals in tonight's event, which was
for a $250O trophy, were George La
Blanche, "the Marine," and Johnny
Herget, better known as ."Young Nit
chell," the San Francisco middleweight.
The fight took place at the old gymna-
sium of the club, which had not been
used for this purpose since the Billy
Murphy Frank Murphy contest. Nit
chell's advantage in height and reach
and the fact that he was about ten years
younger than La Blanche, made him a
slight favorite in the betting, but Hthe
Marines" we'll known rushing powers
and ability to stand punishment, suf-
feed to make the betting light. Both
men trained faithfully to reach the re-
quired weight, 154 pounds, and though
Blanche was reduced too much, the
Marine expressed confidence in his
ability to fight strong even at 145.
PRELIMINARY BOUT.

tween Rochette and young Huntington,
