A SKELETON IN THE TREE.
The Man Had Fallen Into Hollow While
Escaping from Indians.

Escaping from Indians.
MAYS LANDING, Nov. 30.-A startling
discovery was made by a number OF wood
choppers on the hills east of Blue Anchor.
Two Of the men cut down an old tree, and
when it toppled over it exposed part OF a
skeleton and the bottom OF a pair Of
mouldy trousers. One OF the men searched
the clothes and found q book, which soon
fell apart. From what could be deciph-
cred of the writing IL was learned that the
writer had been chased by Indians. He
being hotly pursued when he leaped into
the tree, and, finding its trunk was hol-
tow, had dropped as his pursuers appeared
in sight. He was unable to regain his
freedom after the Indians had passed, and
had died Of thirst and starvation. He had
kept the diary for about a week. The
men buried the bones.
IL was impossible to learn from the
book the name OF the unfortunate man or
in what year he died.

No Vessels Went Out.

The great wind storm, which has been
raging along the Atlantic coast has not
vet abated and the difficulty of naviga-
tion was considerably increased by the
heavy northeast winds and the driving
thick snow which has fallen almost con-
tinuously along the coast since Monday
night.
Many of the coast wise vessels due at
this port are storm bound and their wary
shippers have put into neighboring ports
to escape the storm AS IL would be inyit

MAY ACCEPT A REDUCTION.
The Result of Today's Wage Confor-
ence Anxiously Awaited,

The Result of Today's Wage Confor-
ence Anxiously Awaited.
PlTTsBURG, Aug. 9,-At the meeting
Of the conference committee of iron
manufacturers and the Amalgamated
Association today it is probable that the
latter will have considerable power to
settle the present wage dispute. 1t is
learned that the workers representatives
will have the privilege of accepting a 10
per contradiction on the finishers' scale,
but on pudding they are to consider no
proposition for reduction. The finish
Bfs include the rollers, heaters and the
roughers and catchers, who are among
the best paid in the Amalgamated Asso-
Eiation.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
workers committee will have power to
accept a reduction, ii is anticipated that
lhey will make a stiff fight. Day by
fay, as the Association holds out, an
occasional firm signs its scale. Should
the Mahoning and Shenango valley
manufacturers sign shortly, as the Anal
gsmated people expect, the action
would have great bearing on the fight.
In Pittsburg, should it be found imper-
ative to accept the cut Of 10 per cent. on
finishing, or a greater reduction, it
might cause trouble in the ranks of the
Amalgamated Association. There would
be some danger of disruption, as some
Of the finishers. including the roughers
and catchers, have been talking for sew
sral years of quitting the Association.
The roUghsrs and catchers contend that
they do not get a big enough percentage
Of the wages. A general reduction in
the finishing department would affect
them.

CHICAGO. Aug. 9.-Director General

said, ION the half dollars. My opinion
is that every half dollar is worth at least
seventy-five cents. A moderate estimate
will give us $500, ,oOO profit there, SO that
We may thank congress for making us
present of nearly $4,o00,oo when we
had asked only loan of s., GOO, ,000."

FOUGHT FoRTY-Two ROUNDS
A Lively Drawn Battle at the Coney
Island Athletic Club.

-----T-
New YORK, Aug. 9.-About 5000
persons witnessed sgiree bouts at the
Coney Island Athletic club last night
The first 60 was between Bill Plimmer
the Englishman, and Jerry Barnett, 9
young New Yorker. Plimmer won In
eight Gounds. The second fight was an
other eight-round bout between Charlie,
Kammereer and Jim Sullivan, both oi
New York, at 154 pounds. The referes
declared the fight draw.
The tinal bout of the night was be-
tween Eddie Pierce, another ex-amateur,
and George Siddons, Of Chicago, and
was to be finish. 1t was for 81 600
5000 Of which went to the loser. AL
Smith acted as judge. Honors were
even until the fifth round, when Pierce
began to rush matters. He landed sew.
eral terrific body blows and had the
bost of the round. The sixth was q rep
etition of the fifth, Siddons remaining
on the defensive.
Siddons fell to his knees in the eighth
round from sheer weakness after a
clinch, but Pierce did not have the
wind to follow up the advantage.
Pierce inflicted terrible punishment on
MS man up to the twentieth round,
when the spectators began to give up all
hope for the plucky Chicago man.
To the amazement Of all and delight
of the Chicago mans friends, however,
Siddons made an onslaught ON Pierce,
driving him half way across the ring,
The multitude howled at him for his
rally. In the twenty-second round
Pierce chased Siddons into corner and
hammered him all over, while Siddona
turned his back and made not the slight.
est attempt to reply, yet even these
dozen or fifteen blows could not knock
Siddons off his feet.
The fight now became monotonous
and there was very little interest taken
in it until the end. Both men were
completely exhausted at the end of the
forty-second round and the referee de.
clared the contest draw.
