BRUTES :AT BATTLE.
Fearful Prize Fight, With a Wife
as a Second.

Fearful Prize Fight, With Wife
as a Second.
PITTsBURG, Feb, 6.-There was an
extremely bloody prize fight on Second
avenue this afternoon. Thirty rounds
were fought before the police inter
fered. Martin Carlin. an English
puddler. and Billy Williams, a Welsh
IRON worker. have been living near each
other for years, but quarreled inces-
sa ntly. Finallyit was agreed that they
should settle their grudge by regular
fight in the ring. Both are large men
and very powerful, so that when their
friends heard Of the approaching battle
they began to wager comparatively
large sums of money on the result.
The;battle took place at o'clock this
afternoon behind the Car stables of the
Second avenue line About 300 men
and women gathered, and formed a
ring. Williams wife acted as his Sec
ond, and a puddler performed a like
Office for Carlin. They also had seconds
and water carriers. The battle began
without any formality. and with less
science. The men stripped to the waist.
and began to hammer one another.
Whenever one was knocked down time
was called. The terrific csledge-hammer
blows which they exchanged never
missed, for neither tried to war off the
others blows, being too intent on doing
up his enemy. When they had fought
twenty-five rounds both were cut aud
bleeding on their faces and breasts.
When the thirtieth round was reached
both men were almost blinded from
blood and dirt. but were doggedly hit
ting one another as well as their ex-
hausted condition would allow. The
police here interfered and stopped the
battle. The two men needed medical
attention, and had to have their wounds
dressed before being carried home.

the slightest hitch in any OF the details;
the visitors were royalty entertained,
and one and all left for home with the
avowed feeling that the st. Paul people
were "corkers." The prizes and trophies
all went to the Northwest, Chicago and
Milwaukee securing nothing. The St.
Paul Curling club trophy, the handsome
silver tankard, the st. Paul Jobbers'
union prize, and the consolation trophy
all went to Manitoba, while st. Paul
captured the Merriam medal Poor Min
neapolis was mot in it, to use a figur-
Rtive term of speech. The Flour CITY
men were made of too weak clay to COM
pete with the lusty st. PauliteS and
men from the North.
The games did not conclude until 6
O'Clock. The electric lights were turned
on some time before the last lends"
were finished, and the water on the ice
splashed about with the swinging of the
bro0mS, forming

as it went in sheets against the window
paneS. The ice near the close was in
very bad condition, and had been worn
down until the sawdust on the floor
showed through in places. Taking into
consideration the extreme baImineSs of
the weather during the last week, IL is a
wonder that 1t lasted throughout the
bOnspiel- When all the games were
over and The various prizes mad been
distributed, there was general hand
shaking, for the Winnipeggers had to
hurry away to catch the train for the
North. No formal ceremonies were
tndulged in when the prizes were
awarded; they were simply handed to
the victOrs and the medals pinned upon
their breasts. When they left the club
they reSembled a lot of foreign embassa-
dOrs, with the shining gold medals
dangling on their Waistcoats.
The first contest finished was the lob
bers' union. The final game was be-
tween the two Winnipeg rinks, s. G.
harstone and Mark Fortune. 1t was
over by dinner time, and the redoubta-
Die Mark Fortune had succumbed to his
brother curler, the score standing IA
to IL. The game was an intensely inter-
eSting one. and up to the passing of the
last stone 1t was impossible to tell which
would win. W Nhen the last lend" be-

MADRID, Feb. 6.-The year 1891 was
marked in Spain by succession of
floods, which destroyed thousands of
human lives. drowned an almost count
less number of horses, mules and cattle,
swept away valuable crops, and did
other damage to an incalculable extent.
The disaster at Consuegra, where hun
dreds upon hundreds of people were
awakened from their sleep by the In
rush of the waters and who, when they
sought safety in flight, were over
whelmed by the mad torrent, is still
fresh in the minds of the Spanish people.
Already this year there has occurred
at Seville flood in the Guadalquivir
which did immense damage, and to-day
come reports from many places in the
northern part of the kingdom stating
that heavy floods are devastating the
country there. From the dispatches
received it Is evident that the floods
prevail throughout all the northern
provinces. Already great damage is
done and greater is feared, as the
waters show no sign of subsiding.

FAST SKATING EXPECTED,
Some Coming Events Which Cast
Their Shadows Before.

The principal events of the season in
local skating rinks will be decided
within the next two weeks. The first,
the final trials in the contest for the one
mile state championship, are scheduled
for Wednesday evening. Feb. 10, pro-
viding the conditions are favorable for
fast time. They will occur at the Junior
Pioneer rink, under the auspices of the
skating association, who offer a verv
handsome medal to the one making the
fastest time. The mark which now
stands is 3 minutes Il seconds, made by
both PannelI, of st. Paul, and Johnson.
of Minneapolis. This time is almost
sure to be lowered by these two, and in
all probability by Bird, Davidson and
Hairy. and possibly by Smith, who is
improving at short distances very rap
idly.
The second event, which will with
out doubt be the most exciting of any
race for long time, is the three-miIe
scratch race for the amateur state
championship. All of the leading
skaters will participate, and as the dis
tanee is one which will admit of the
hardest kind of work, and as at least
four or five of the probable contestants
I are so closely matched that choice al
this time is impossible, it cannot help
but furnish plenty of excitement. and
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-02-07

much interest is already being taken in
the practice work of the expected start
ers. This race will occur next Sunday
afternoon also at the Junior Pioneer
rink.
The third and final contest will be
ten-mile scratch race, also for the anna
teur Minnesota championship. This
will be skated as soon after the three
mile race as arrangements can be COM
pleted, probably during the week of
