ECHOES OF THE FIGHT.
Disgusting Scenes at the Creedon-
Greggains Mill.
THOUSANDS OF LIVES ENDANGERED

During the Fight n Crowd of Rouchs Set
Fire to tho Building-A Serious Panic
Averted by the Timely Advice of Cool
Headed Spectators.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Very few of the @ 600
Or more spectators of the Creedon- Greg
gains mill Mt Roby Monday night will
unless they be of that class of sporting
element that knows no fear-forget their
experience for n goodly time to come
Seven thousand men of all degrees of re-
spectability and social standing from the
millionaire and the prosperous tradesman
down to the board of trade clerk and
thence down to the genius tough cooped
up like rats for over three hours in a
monster wooden barn, dignined by the
name of an arena, having only two exits,
OF width of only four feet, and on the
outside like n besieging army mob of
nearly Thousand brawny stock yards
men, iron workers and railroad hands de-
termlned on securing free admission or of
getting satisfaction by violent methods.
From almost the moment that the first
train load of spectators had 6Sllnd their
seats the besiegers commencea n bonn
bardment of the wooden walls and roofs
with rocks that had evidently been brought
there for the express purpose, and the
COMMANDMENT was kept up to the very
end, stones sometimes falling as thick as
hail and the echo drowning the excited
shouts of the partisans of the contestants.
Ever and anon one of the outsiders would
manage to work his way in, either under
the flooring or through some undiscovered
hole iii the wall only to be spotted by the
Pinkertons on duty and thrown again into
the darkness after being dubbed almost
into insensibility.
Scenes of the latter character were en-
acted during almost every hour, and at
one time when dozen or more of the bel
ligerents had managed to work their way
in in body, and the officers found them
selves unable to cope with the numbers,
the spectators in that corner Of the hall
smashed their chairs and utilized the
pieces as clubs with which to defend them
selves in the event of a bloody conflict.
The most critical moment however was
during the twelfth round, when the mob
set fire to the ticket office which was stu
ated but few feet from the main en-
trance. One of the idiots invariably in
attendance on such &C casons yelled fire"
and like Il flash half of the people on the
inside were on their feet or standing in
their seats, while hundreds made II break
for the door Only abe yells and appeals
OF the cooler heads to sit down, and the
fact that the men kept on fighting pre-
vented what might have been one of the
most awful panics on record
~ moment or two more of thAprevailing
suspense and thousands of fIlen would
have been struggling at the two narrow
exits and the lives of half of them might
have been sacrificed. 1t was feared that
the mob would attack the spectators as
they left, but it was evidently afraid of
superior numbers. Nevertheless the
spectators breathed n sigh of relief when

No Need of sticky Starch.

To prevent starch from sticking" va
rious things are useful. Clean, white
lard is as good as any Put heaped
teaspoonful of it to full pint of thick
starch while hot, stirring it we'll through
and through the mass along with pinch
of salt. White wax, white soap and par
a!lin are all used in like fashion. Put
i'll bit of either as big as the end Of
your thumb While tho starch is boiling
hot and stir until thoroughly dissolved.
For the collars and cuffs and shirt
bosoms paratfin is perhaps best rs it
helps toward polish. Put in likewise
two tablespoonfuls of strong gum arabic
water. To make this choose the cleanest
white gum and pour a pint of boiling
water over four ounces of it. Let it
stand till thoroughly dissolved, then
strain and bottle for use. The gum much
diluted is n fine stiffening for nets, mas
Inns and other mesly fabrics that starch
might blue and cloud.
Gum tragacanth can be used in like
manner and gives Il clearer liquid, be-
sides being very much cheaper To dis
solve it use cold water, as hot cooks it
and utterly ruins it.

CROCHETED FRILI..

When making trimming, says The
Delineator. of this kind of sleeves or
anything to be joined, it is best to meas
ure the braid and join ends before be-
ginning to crochet. In this way the
piece will be crocheted whole instead of
being joined with seam. When this
Is done, the loops upon the edge of the
braid must be counted and n piece hay
ing some multiple of nine be used in
order to make an even number of points,
as nine loops are required as a founda-
ton for each point.
To Begin Frill-With the thread OF
crochet cotton selected, make d. C.
with l CHI. between in each loop on each
edge of the braid.
Next Row-On one edge, make IS d.
c., making III each double and in each
chain. Then make CHI, loose d. c. in
next d. c., CHI, / d. c. in same d. C.. !;
o CHI, d. C. in next d. c.; this last Il. C.
forms the first stitch Of the next IS d. c.
Now repeat from y.
In each succeeding row make . less in
the center of the doubles (the solid
points, and more chain Of 5 between
these points until there are but doubles
and chains of 5. This gives the fullness
which the illustration shows.

most of the crowd of sporting enthusiasts
to the Grand Opera House last night The
champion looks in fine trim and appears
fiji even now TO meet any antagonist 4
speech was called for and Corbett arose
and simply stated that his fight with
Mitchell would undoubtedly come off
before the Coney Island Athletic club, and
that he would train faithful and hard for
the contest and do his utmost to retain the
championship on this side of the water
The principal bout of tho evening was
the Leeds Young go, and though no de-
eision was given under Prosecutor Perry's
orders. it WAS evident that the Atlantic
City man had all the best of the bout.
The preliminary bouts between Tommy
Devlin. of RoXborough and Johnny Car
rigan, of Manayunk, and between Pro-
fessor Jack Lynch and Walter Campbell
were interesting and finished with honors
about even.
John S. Mccormack, of PHILADELPHIA,
made his first appearance on the profes
sionnl stage against Dominick Mccartney
and put up good fight. though lie was no
match for his more experienced opponent.
