GALVESTON, TEX, May e.-The fremont
opera house was comfortably filed with. a
very enthusiastic and interested audience
at 9:10. The contestants were Billy Moran
of Philadelphia and Bob MCGEE, colored, of
Galveston, bantam weights. Both men
entered the ring at 600. Moran appeared
stronger on his under pinning than MCGEE.
Moran lead throughout, MCGEE countering
on Moran's wind. The fighting was fierce
and rapid for ten rounds. MCGEE
clinched to avoid the desperate upper
cutting Of his opponent, McGee's long reach
and active dodeins doing him good service
Moran exhibited more science. MCGEE
stood firm under shower of stomach
blows. and rallied At the end Of each round.
The first to fifth rounds were Moran's,
from the fifth to fourteenth round MCGEE
countered and Moran rushed the fighting,
and was losing force. In the fourteenth
round both men came up fresh. Moran
landed heavily on -McGee's face and ribs,
but at this point the audience interrupted
the fight aud the referee decided it draw.

A RACE OPPRESSED
Russia's Brutal Treatment Of the
Jews.
Stories of Extreme Suffering Told
by the Miserable Fugitives
from Tyranny.
MANS INHUMANITY.


BERLIN, May 29.--The Hebrew relief
committee here has secured long rail
way tunnel at Charlottenburg in which
to shelter Russian Jews en- route to
Hamburg fer embarkment. Boxes of
clothing and necessaries, enormous
boilers of tea and coffee and
supplies of bread and brandy are
in readiness to relieve the misery
of the crowds of fugitives that daily
pour out of the railway trains. Many
heart-rending scenes are described and
tales are told of extreme suffering.
Many of the fugitivcs had to leave on
days notice and were compelled
to abandon everything but what
they stood in, while others, often
octogenarians who are hardly able to
walk, are seen staggering under sacks
containing all their worldly posses
sions. In many cases the fugitives are
of the poorest classes, with numerous
scantily- dressed children tagging at
their mothers skirts and crying for
bread. All are shy and suspicious, re-
membering their i'll treatment at Rus
sian railway stations, and fear fresh
torments and privations if they enter
the waiting rooms. A doctor attends
the children who are i'll from the eff
fects of the journey. The fugitives de-
scribe how the streets in which they
lived would be suddenly cordoned
with the police searching for Jews, who
would fly to the synagogues for safety;
how the doors of the synagogue would
be wrenched off and troops of armed
men would tie their hands and feet and
plunder everything in the place, and
how on arriving at the frontier the po-
lice would extort fresh bribes to al
low them to cross.

FATAL EXPLOSION.

The Boiler OF an Indiana Sawmill Bursts,
Killing One Man and Injuring q
Dozen.
FRANKFoKT, Ind, May 29.-Frank-
fort was the scene of terrible disas-
ter Thursday afternoon. The large
boiler at P. Z. Kramers sawmill ex-
ploded with appalling results. Frank
Hall, the engineer, was instantly
killed, and William Davis. Eric Koontz,
benjamin Keys and Van Swarengen
were fatally injured. Of the thirteen
men employed in the mill scarcely one
escaped without more or less injury.
Others are suffering from broken limbs
and scalds and it is difficult to deter
mine the exact extent of their injuries.
The explosion took place shortly after
o'clock and the mill is complete
wreck, debris being scattered about for
radius of 200 yards. The cause of the
explosion is not known, the boiler hav-
ing been pronounced safe and insured
only a week ago. One of the employees
says that he looked at the guage
only few minutes before the ex-
plosion and it showed plenty of water.
The bodies of some of the men were
frightful to look upon. The engineer
was mutilated beyond recognition, his
clothing torn from him and his body
literally cooked by the steam.

MT. w.a.w,n,. Imprs...on of Prescott.

Mr. Redewflfa impression of Nrsso"'
 From very interesting letter written by A. Redewill, and pub hshed in the Phenix Herald, we quote the following:
 Prescott is to Arizona what Dem yer is to Colorado-the miniug cen ter of the Territory. What Phenix is to Southern Arizona. in com mercial, agricultural and horticultu- rsl point of view, Prescott is like wise to Northern Arizona, the min ing and commercial city of our Ter ritory. There is no prettier sum mer resort to be found anywhere, and our people of the Salt River valley know this, as the presence of some 30 to 100 Phenicians now at tests. With the advent of the new railroad to Phenix, it is not improb- able to presume that thousands will flock here, not only from Phe- nix and Tempe but also from Tue son and all Southern Arizona, dur ing the summer months. The hotels, of which there are six, are full, and but few vacant dwelling houses are to be found. Living here is but little higher than at Phenix. Ex- cellent board is to be had here for $6 per week, while room rent is but a trife higher.
 Hay, grain, fruit and vegetables are, however, very dear. Hay sells at x2S per ton, barley at from g to 2.25 per cwt. Peddlers from Phe nix bring wagon loads of fruit here which they dispose of readily as fol- lows: Watermeions, 75 cents to Sl.50 each; peaches and grapes, 15 cents per pound. Eggs sell at 90 cents per dozen, and chickens at $ per dozen. Hence our Salt River products command here from three to five times their price at Phenix. Everything else, however, is com paratively cheap.
 We are regaled daily with heavy showers accompanied with binding flashes of lightning and terrific peals of thunder. A house and barn were both struck the past two days, but no one was hurt, the heavy rain putting the fire out.
 If you would Ike to see a gath ering of great number of Pheni- cians in Prescott, just stop at the postoffice about the time of the ar rival of the stage. They swarm there like Prescott bed-bugs or Phe- nix mosquitoes, to get welcome home papers"

In tn. Coil. of . snake.

GRANT, Mo-, Aug. I9.-Mrs. Wm. St. John, the wife of farmer living at the edge of town, had an expe- rience with a snake last Monday that almost caused the loss of her own life after she had saved that of her baby. Her little two-year-old boy was playing in the yard and she heard him crying. Going to the door she was surprised to see him lying on the ground. She went to lift him up and was mortified at the discovery that he was in the folds of an enormous blacksnake. The reptile was around the child's body three times, and when Mrs. St. John reached the spot the baby was al- most choked, and was black in the face. Mrs. St. John grasped the snake by the throat and tried to pull it from the child. but she could not move it. Grasping it tightly she lifted the baby and carried it into the house. She still held the rep tiles neck, and getting a butcher knife she first cut of its head and then tore it from the child's body. After the snake was loosened, Mrs. St. John worked for half an hour before she could revive the child, and then it was several hours before it fully recovered.
 When all danger to the baby was over, Mrs. St. John fell into con vulsion from which she recovered only to have another, and it was several hours before the physicians pronounced her out of danger. The snake measured eight feet in length, and was fully four inches in diame- ter. It was the largest ever seen in the neighborhood.
