ONLY LASTED TIN MINUTES.
Pritchard Whips Smith in Three Hounds
A Surprising Rally.

LONDON, July 27.-The boxing match
between Jem Smith and Ted Pritchard
for SIS, 900 took place this evening, and
Pritchard beat Smith in three rounds.
Smith showed strong disinclination to
take punishment and was easily de-
feated by Pritchard. The hight only
lasted ten minutes.
The match was postponed on account
of the leaking out of information re-
garding the location of the rendezvous
A new meeting place was appointed ior
this evening, only 30 people De-
ing present. In the nrst
round Smith took a decided
lead. He gave Pritchard heavy blow
on the body, drove him all over the ring
and foored him twice before time was
called. Pritchard then seemed to be
dazed. In the second round, how
ever, surprising change occur
red. Pritchard was sprightly while
Smith appeared to be weak. Pritchard
forced the fighting with such effect
that Smith soon showed signs OF nav
ing enough. Twice the men went down,
but at the close Of the round
Smith was hardly able to stand.
The third round was a one-sided
affair. PrItchard had it his own way
and placed his opponent prone and help
less on his back. The display was far
from scientific. Both men tried to set
tie the affair as quickly as possible.

THEY EXPECT TROUBLE,
Nebraska Railroad Managers Will Test the
Eight-HOur Law.

OMAHA, NEB., July 27.-Nebraska
railroad managers are actively engaged
in an effort to defeat the law enacted by
the recent Alliance Legislature, and
which goes into effect August 1, making
eight hours days work.
All the companies have prepared in
structions to their employees, declaring
that they will be employed and paid by
the hour after August /. 1t is no secret
that organized labor is opposed to this
scheme, as the eight-hour measure was
fostered by them at the time of its con-
sideration by the Alliance.
Many OF the companies expect trouble
when their men discover what is being
done. The new law provides penalties
for attempting to avoid its provisions,
and it was only after consideration and
legal advice that the railroad companies
concluded to fight the law. A strike
would force the roads to terms or result
in great damage. The railroad en-
ployes understand the situation.

The Police Have a Clue.

PHILLIPsBURG, n. j., July 27.-The
police now have positive clue to the
Easton, Pa, bank robbers. Two of the
men stopped at Bath, Pa, The week
before and hired team of Keim & Co.,
liverymen, and drove to Easton, when
it is supposed they arranged for the
job. Last week they again hired the
same team and drove to Easton. The
bank was then robbed and the men,
four in number, drove out of the town
very quickly. The men were seen to get
into certain carriage on a back
street with valise and pack
age. The team was then driven
to Pen Argyle, where three Of the
robbers took train on the Pennsylva-
MIA, Poughkeepsie & Boston road, while
one returned the team to Bath. The
liveryman says the horses were COM
pletely tagged out when driven into the
stable. The driver disappeared very

THE SENTENCES MUST STAND.
Parnen Asks Amnesty for John DAILY, but
He Won't Get 1t.

LONDON. July Elm the House
when the prisons vote was under dis
cussion, Mr.. Parnell claimed that cer-
tain convicts under life sentences, es-
pecially John DAILY, should be granted
amnesty or else treated as political
prisoners. Mr.. Parnell said that it was
a grave blot on the nation to treat men
like Egan and Daily as ordinary prIs-
oners, adding that In the special case OF
DAILY there was rvery reason to believe
that he was not guilty of the charge Of
of being in possession of dynamite with
intent to cause an explosion.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt opposed
any relaxation of the sentence passed
upon John DAILY, and Mr.. John Red
mond urged that further inquiry into
Days case would prove that the pris-
oner referred to was the victim of con-
spiracy upon the part Of Irish police
agents.
Sir Henry Matthews, the Home Secre-
tsry, replied that "alIeged proofs OF In
nocence" had already been examined,
and they had been found 10 be inven-
tions, and consequently, the sentence
must stand.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Secretary
Foster has more trouble on his hands.
This time it was Commissioner OF lmmi-
grafton Owen who has caused 1t. Mr..
Owen was appointed chief of the newly
created immigration bureau not long
ago, but as his powers and duties were
not clearly defined he was left to slash
around on his own hook, and the first
thing he did was to get Secretary Fos-
ter and she administration into trouble.
He decided that under the immigration
law tin plate workers could be brought
into this country under contract because
the manufacture Of tin plate is not an
established industry. Now Repuoii-
cans have for months been claiming
that we were actually manufacturing
tin plate and that the Mckinley bill
would give great boom 10 the indus
try, consequently Mr.. Owens decision,
which was given TO the press without
previous consultation with Secretary
Foster, puts the Republicans In an om-
barrassIng position. Moreover II Is
claimed the decision was procured by
ex-Representative Neidringhaus, OF 81.
Louis, who wants to fill tho places OF
striking tin workers In his factory with
low priced Welsh tin workers. This Is
another source Of embarrassment TO Sec
tary Foster. 1t is said that the latter
will nullify Owens decision, on the
ground that he had no authority TO
make 1t, and look into the whole ques-
tion himself.

tacle.
PARIS, July 27.-The execution OF
young Berland and Dorc, two accom-
plices of Mere Berland, in what Is
known as the Courbeville murder, took
place this morning ou the Place De La
Roquette. Berland walked calmly to
the guillotine, but desperate struggle
took place on the scaffold. Finally the
executioners succeeded in forcing the
criminal down upon the bascule and
from there slid his head under the knife.
Dore did not make any resistance. The
execution of the men only occupied
eight minutes of time. Mere Berland,
as already cabled, has been granted re-
prieve.
The usual crowds Of people had gath
cred last night and very early this
morning on the famous Place de lie Ro-
quette, where all Paris executions by
the guillotine take place. The vicious
and the gamins, the cocottee, and the
grisette were out-in force, filling the
cabarals, gargottes and the cafes OF
the neighborhood with their baleful
songs and vile orgies. OF course the
sergeants de vile and the agents de
surete together had their hands full In
keeping the crowds in order, consider
ing the mixed, rough, law-defying con-
course of people they had to deal with.
Dore aroused from his apparently
peaceful slumbers at an early hour, got
up slowly, dressed himself calmly and,
under the circumstances, quickly, ana
thanked the prison officials for the kind
ness extended him during his contine-
ment. Dore left his cell and the prison
q few minuths later with extreme COM
posure. But though he had thus far
conducted himself with wonderful
courage Dore faltered and trembled as
he reachedthe shadows OF the red painted
uprights of the guillotine. The murderer
at the sight OF the instrument OF the ex-
ecution seemed to become dazed and
helpless, and 10 this condition the
executioners helped him up the steps to
the platform OF the guillotine and quick
ly threw him upon the bascule, strapped
| him down, slid his head into the lunette
and in second or two the knife fell and
Dore's head rolled into the sawdust
filed basket awaiting 1t.
Young Berland died in an entirely
different manner. When he was awaken
cd he showed considerable amount OF
bravado. He walked jauntily across the
prison yard and maintained his air oi
bravado and cool ~impudence until ht
reached the platform OF the guillotine
Just as the executioners were upon the
point of throwing him upon the oas
cule or sliding plank, Berland made
desperate resistance, and a terrible
scene took place. In spite OF his strug
giles he was eventually thrown upon th'
fatal plank slid beneath the grim up
rights, and as the young criminal wa
writhing furiously the knife fell an'
Berlond's head rolled into the basket

Of refunding the amount appropriated

Ground that certain Virginia State

fuses to pay West Virginia the

A somewhat similar case has been de-

that West Virginia will receive her
money as soon as it is available. The
bonds are not those Of the State
of West Virginia, but OF Virginia. AS
the matter was summed up in former

ard the West Virginia officers are amply

DEPARTMENT to assume the authority tol
