TO wRESTLE FARMER BURNS

Match Arranged Between Hugh
Dougherty and the Champion Middle
Weight of the world-The Articles.
Another sporting event that will in all
probability interest the fraternity OF the
three cities more than any event that has
taken place here in some time has been
arranged to take place next Saturday
night. Articles of agreement were today
signed by P.J. Griffin for Farmer
Burns and j. D. Denning for Hugh
Dougherty for wrestling match to take
place at Turner hall, this city, at the time
stated above. The match is for $50 a
side and the entire gate receipts. best
three in five falls. two points down, no
holds barred, and Police Gazette rules to
govern the contest.
Dougherty claims to hail from Cslifor-
mia, and though no one here seems to be
able - call the turn on exactly who he is.
there are many who believe from his ap-
pearance that he will give the Farmer
a hard rub. Dougherty will probably
strip in the neighborhood of 40
pounds, while Burns weight is 100
The latter will probably arrive in the
city tonight. when all the arrangements
for the match will be completed.

DIXON KNOCKS OUT SHELLY.
A Lively Fight OF Eight Rounds at Ne'
OrleanR

Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7.-George Dixon,
the champion bantam-weight pugilist,
and Jack Shelly, of Brooklyn, were greet
ed by more than 5000 persons at the
Olympic club last night. There were
about 400 negroes present. The fight was
for the championship and s12, 800, and was
easily won by Dixon. This fight brought
out prominently feature of southern
ism"-to coin a word. Little outside
money was put up on the fight, because
the southern people wanted to back the
white man. but did not dare. They had
never seen Dixon, but had heard lot
about him. They wanted to see the col
ored boy lose, but felt that he was too
clever, therefore they held off.
Description OF the Battle.
The fight was Dixon's from the start.
Sicily could not hit his antagonist to do
any damage, while Dixon put in his blows
where he pleased. Telling blows were de-
livered by Dixon in the first, second. third
(when he knocked Sicily DOWN, fourth,
fifth and sixth las he pleased),
seventh (Skelly down again), and
eighth, which was the last. In this
round Dixon went at Sicily hammer and
tongs and knocked Sicily to his knees.
Sicily pluckily tried to get up, but he
couldn't. He rolled over on his face and
laid there until he was counted out.

1t was announced that Charlie Mitchell

The vote for governor at the September
election for two previous presidential years
has been as follows: 1SSS-Republican,
rs, s.22; Democratic, 1887; Republican
plurality, 2S. 995. In 1884 the Republican
vote was Il, 522; Democratic, 1880; Re
publican plurality, %, 7O2 In 1890, owing
to local dissatisfaction and apathy, the
Republican plurality fell to about $4,000.
Comparison this year is made both with
the vote of September. 1873, and Septem-
ber 1890. This being the first time the
Australian system of balloting has been
used in state election the returns are
very late.

Republican vote has fallen off 4,236 or 20
per cent, and the DemocI attic vote
has fallen off 124, or per

The Prohibition vote shows less change
when compared either with the vote OF

thus far is 1855; over Smalley and Allen,

is relatively the same as those reported
the Republican majority will hardly reach
