An Ice Floe Flushing Light.

A remarkable phenomenon was wit
messed on the Thames during the even
ing Of Friday. Anumber of pedestrians
q YqnxhaIl bridge were startled by
noticing thai one Of the larso masses Of
ice which were floating with the tide was
emitting flashes of light at intervals Of
about six seconds. Not only was this
curious and unusual sight seen from
Eauxhall bridge, but one gentleman who
had noticed it at Chelsea bridge followed
it along the Thames embankment for
some distance.
The area of the mass was several
square yards, and this was the only ono
out of the many hundreds which wero
passing the bridge at the time that pre-
sented any unusual appearance. Con-
lectures were numerous at the time as to
the cause of the flashes, but no satisfac-

a Great Season For Maple Sugar.

UNLESS am greatly mistaken" SAID
Loren Cushnan yesterday, "the coming
spring will be great season for maple
sugar making. 1t is well known to those
who have engaged in that business that
a good season always follows winter
that furnishes abundance of cold wealth
er. The maple sap is always sweeter
after period of intense frost and fur
nishes larger percentage of sugar. Not
only that, but the trees yield larger
quantity of sap after cold winter than
they do after a winter that has frequent
thaws and periods of warm weather.
The snow i'll our county is very deep,
and unless remarkably warm weather
should come it will be on the ground
until well along in April. There is such
an immense body of it that sugar MAX
ing will not commence until late in tie
season, but when we get at it we shall
make moro # tho toothsome sweet than
wo have made before in years" Nor

Yesterday.
LONG ISLAND CITY, March S.-All
Long Island seems to have felt what is
now supposed TO have been an earth
quake at 1890 o'clock this morning.
At Long Island City the shock was
specially severe, in many instances
shaking pictures from the walls and
creating havoc among chinaware and
bric-a'brac at several points. Persons
fled in terror from thor houses to the
street in their night robes. supposing
the houses to be settling or falling.
The most of those persons say a dull
boom and strongly marked Simultaneous
trembling OF the earth were perceptible.
The seismic disturbances lasted several
seconds and then passed away in u
southerly direction.

THE FIGHT ny ROUNDS.


Round 1.-The men shook hands at Q
O'CLOCK In the orthodox old time fashion,
ooth men coming to the scratch with n
jauntiness which showed their SEEMING
lack OF care. They commenced work
IN very cautious manner until Fitz.
simmons finally led with his left and
ieli snort OF his mark, Halls left on
I Ine encounter barely touching his face.
fltzslmmcns was the most active of the
Two and he set lively pace by doinr
all tho leading and landing frequently
with his left on Halls body Hall was
slow and did not succeed in landing a
single blow with fleet.
Round 2-Fitzsimmons still pursued
his leading tactics and landed his rirht
ana lett several times very hard on
Halls body. He also got in good
right and left on Halls face. 1t was
well toward the close OF the ronnd
before Hall commenced to land n few
good blows, but then they were by no
means dangerous. Fitzsimmons had nv
far the best OF the round.
Round AT the call to centre, Hall
stepped brisklY forward, and led off with
his left, and caught Fitzsimmons square
on the nose. The blow dazed the lanky
man, yet he fought gamely, and re-
turned tho compliment by sending his
left hand on Halls stomach. Hall
landed again lightly on the neck, then
both men clinched. BY mutual consent
they separated, both laughing. Hall
LED with his right and left, reaching
ms big antagonists body and neck.
Content for tho moment with this, Hall
walked around the ring, Fitzsimmons
following. Fitz missed a swinging right
handler, but he planted his left on
Halls stomach. Hall got his left hand
lao In fltz's face again, making the
champions head bob back. Hail fol-
lowed this performance with beautiful
right and left hand blow on Fits head
and side, but the big Australian rot
back most too Ear for the blows to do any
damage. Fit retreated apparently no
worse for the blows. Tho round ended
by fltz missing swinging blow for
Halls stomach.
Round THE mon were both in ex-
cellonJ condition and full of fght.
When the gong sounded for tho fourth
round they responded like gladiators
and went at each other as though thew
intended TO find tho winner in short
order, but they had scarcely warmed up
to their work when Fitz landed that
dangerous right of his on the point OF
the jaw and Hall fell to tho floor like a
dead man. 1t was q hard fall and the
back of Halls head came in contact
with the floor with such sickening
thud that it could be heard oil through
the building.
1t was clean knock out and it was
some minutes after he was counted out
before his seconds succeeded in ro-
storing him to consciousness. and then
he had TO be carried TO his corner. The
scene was the widest that has been
witnessed at tho ring side Tor many
years. Bob caught up the American
nag and waved it over his head like an
indian, while tho crowd cheered and
yelled like llottentots. f'itz was de-
clared victor and tho winner woro q
