A FRlGHTFUC ACCIDENT.
One Mans Heart Cut In Two and an
Arm Of Another Severed by Saw.

One Mans Heart Cut Tn Two and an
Arm Of Another Severed by Saw.
WYANDoTTE, Mich, March 10.-One
of the most frightful and at the same
time one of the most peculiar accidents
that has ever occurred in this state,
happened six miles west of this city in
Taylor township. As a result one young
man was killed and another was
manned for life. Herman Meinke and
Amos Coan were using an old fashioned
machine saw converting lot of timber
into logs and sticks. just before noon
Meinke placed an extra heavy and
knotty piece of wood on the table.
While he adjusted il he and Coan, who
stood directly back of him, were en-
gagged in conversation.
Gut His Heart in Two.
When the blade had dug its way
about half way through the wood it
struck snag and the saw leaped from
its bearings. In its lightning fight
through the air it took slightly up
ward direction and struck Meinks
squarely in the breast. The saw severed
the ribs as if they were madesof paper
and striking the heart full in the center
cut that organ in two. Meinks was
thrown backwards by the force of the
blow, and the saw thus released skirted
over the dead mans shoulder and strik-
ing down ON the left arm cut that
member clean off about four inches be
low the shoulder. The accident was
caused by the breaking of wooden
screw, with which the saw had been
fastened to the frame.

A Full Account Of the Contest Between
Hall and Fitzsimmons at New
Orleans,
Which Resulted In Complete Knock.
out for Jim Hall In the Fourth
Round.
History of the Negotiations Which Led
Up to the Contest for the Big
Purse.

NEW ORLEANS, March 10.-The short,
sharp contest between Hall and Fitz-
simmons, which resulted in the knock
out of the former in the fourth round,
is the talk OF the city. as it doubtless Is
Of the whole country. The history
of the negotiations which led to this
great match, if given in detail, would
fiji an ordinary sized book, but for the
purpose of the present report they may
be given briefly. Fitzsimmons came to
this country an unknown man, so far
as the American annals OF the prize ring
is concerned, and soon won
Both Fame and Money.
Hall, from the Antipodes. observing the
success achieved by the lanky, red
headed blacksmith. desired to emulate
his success and crossed the Pacific
ocean engaged in similar quest. The
records showed that he had defeated
Fitzsimmons in Australia and he was
not long in questioning his fellow
countryman's title to the middleweight
championship of the world. He show
cred challenges upon him and made
every apparent effort to secure a fight,
but to all these Fitzsimmons for long
time turned deaf ear. insisting that
Hall should make a reputation before
presuming to fight for the
MiddIeweight Championship.
After the Fitzsiln,nons-D Dempsey fight
Fitzsimmons made several efforts to Sc
cure match, but all resulted in disap
pointments and he finally consented tt
meet Hall at st. Paul for purse ol
$4,000, the conditions being that botl
men should weigh in at the middle
weight limit Both men trained hare
| for this event and many thousands O
| people gathered in the Twin Cities &,
witness it. Legal authorities inter
fered, however, and the original pro
| gramme for the fight was r, -
Finally Abandoned.
| A proposal was made, however, tha
the men should meet and settle tn
| question of superiority in private fo
half the sum hung up in the origina
| purse. Fitzsimmons eagerly acceptet
the proposition but the Hall party hest
tated and finally refused. The Olympi
club last September offered an enor
nous purse for the match but Hall re
fused to meet Fitzsimmons on the dat
mentioned, urging that his theatrica
engagements were of more importanc
to him than anything else and the fgh
was again indefinitely postponed
Finally the Crescent City Athletic clu
conceived the idea that match be
tween Fitzsimmons and Hall would b
an attraction for which they could al
ford to offer sum
Equal to a Modern Fortune.
When it was learned that there was
| possibility of bringing the men togethe
both the Crescent City Athletic club an
the Coney Island club engaged in
very lively competition for the contest
The match was made for the larges
purse to be offered and the bargai
was finally closed with the Cresen
City Athletic club for purse of $40
900. Never before has such sum bee
at stake on the issue of a single fight
A purse of $4,000, and stake of $40
900 made the enormous sum of $60,0
dependent on the result.
