Another feat Is that OF supporting
with arms and legs the weight OF three
horses. Sandow rests on his hands and
feet with his back towards the floor. A
heavy wooden platform Is then placed
on him, resting on his shoulders, chest
ann knees. This platform is con-
constructed to fit about the neck TO
prevent It's slipping or moving In any
way. A long wooden bridge is then
placed across the platform and three
trained horses walk upon tho bridge.
They remain there about five seconds,
while every muscle'oi the giant under
meath stands out like whIpcord. The
weight of the animals and apparatus Is
said TO be $500 pounds.

was born in Prussia and was delicate
child. When about Is, Sandow began
TO develop unusual strength, and be-

erweight limit Is lis, not 122 pounds,
and that Griffen must get 10 this hgnre
to fight his man. He knows that the
Braintree.lad cannot get to this weight
and be strong. Then follows wrangie
between O'Rourke and Carroll, and
finally compromise is reached. The
lads will meet at 100 pounds. ORourke
believes that Grifien will be weak even
at this weight, but when he discovers
on reliable authority that Griffen got to
that weight when he whipped Jimmy
Lynch, the l22-pound champion. right
of the reel, he resorts to another suoter-
fuge. he will have nune OF the three
sportsmen suggested by the other side
for neutrality-suspicious. whose rep
utations for honesty are untarnished-
for the reason that one OF them was at
one time q believer in Dixon, but had
changed his opinion after seeing Grifien
whip Jimmy Larkins, Jimmy Lynch
and Australian Billy Murphy without
apparent effort. He wants stakehol-
der suitable to himself alone, and as
Carroll demurs 0'Rourke saves his man
from possible thrashing. The match
is off.
Then O'Rourke sneers at Pierce and
tells him to "go and get reputation. T"
Smith he jollies with the illusive pros
pect OF a match, and Van Heest he
simply bluffs. "Put up ten thousand, ="
he says, "and my boy will fight you. J"
The bluff works like charm. Johnny
cannot raise half that sum, and
O'Rourke saves his midget from all the
dangerous little fighters who obstruct
his path.
The champion bluffer'of the opposite
sort Is sly Billy Madden, renowned for
his modesty as we'll as his beauty.
Billy always wants to fight Sancho
Panza would not be in 1t with him for
BON bastic challenges. His men are all
world beaters, and Billy affects deep
sorrow II you will not believe him. In
Peter Maher, he declared, he had the
champion not only OF tho earth, but OF
the whole planetary system. Peter
was soundly trounced by Bob Fltzsim-
mons while Billy was still boasting.
In Joe Goddard, the Barrier Cham
pion" OF Australia, Billy hilariously
proclaimed that he had man that
could whip anything breathing. He
worried ever body living about his new
paragon, and even tortured jim Corbett,
who is not at all sensitive, by logging
his footsteps and bombarding him with
challenges. Ed Smith, second rate
pugilst, whipped Goddard handily a
few months ago, and Billy was in the
depths OF despair. But lad Of Billy's
elastic temperament cannot long be
kept down. Now be bobs up serenely
with George Dawson, another Austria
liam, whom he vociferouSly proclams
can whip any 140-pound man in either
hemisphere. He is especially anxious
to match MIN against Jack McAuliffe,
for SO, 600 a side. Madden apparently
forgets that Dawson was soundly whip
ped in Australia by Tom Williams, who
in turn was quickly subdued by Billy
Smith of Maine, at q recent seance given
by the Coney Island club. A great part
of the American public know this, and
the chances are that modest Williams
little game won't work.
The principal managers OF Amer

eloquence, but never with any
OF the golden coin, are Billy Madden.

WESTON, w. VA, June 30.-A suit
for damages, brought by Wesley Brown
VS.. S. III. Hardman, has been in progress
IN the Circuit Court here for the past
week, was decided this morning against
Mr.. Hartman, the jury rendering a
verdict giving Brown $3.50 damages.
Some OF the best legal talent in this Sec
ton we're employed, among whom may
be mentioned Hon. John j. Davis and
Hon. r. G. Linn. The case has created
great deal of interest and was holly
contested on both sides.
1t grew out OF the obtaining q watch
by false pretenses from Mr.. Hardman,
June 10, 1890, and Mr.. Il. finding the
watch bearing the same number and
answering the description on the per.
son OF Mr.. Brown had him arrested, the
trial came on in due time and the jury
acquitted Brown. He then sued Hard
man for damages for false pretenses.
Judge Bennett has the case under con-

Strange to relate, the strongest man
In the world is only feet inches tall
and weighs only 1919 pounds. His name
is Eugene Sandow, and he is now as
tonishlng American audiences with his
wonderful feats OF strength. He ham
dies 56-pound dumpbells as schoolooy
would handle weights Of two pounds
each. He Ia not in the least muscle
bound and turns somersaults and hand
springs with the ease Of professional
acrobat. One Of his tricks is to turn q

Four men carry on the stage an I'm

brass and about four feet long, and the
bells, which are hollow, feet In diam

the bell over his head with one arm,
then dropping 1t suddenly catches 10

release a man from each bell. The total
weight OF the apparatus and men Is

taking half their winnings. II they $50
on the road" with them after reputa-
ton has been secured, they do the same
act OF kindness for them. And here let
me say that the managerial business is
highly successful II properly conducted,
To accomplish this business principals
must be applied, and Billy Madden,
Dave Holland aud Gus Tuthlll, who is
the only manager who ever backs a
fighter. are business to the core. They
have formed pugilistc trust, just as
the Havemeyers planney sugar trust,
J. G. Todd a cordage trust and Paris
and Allen a whisky trust.
And note the results. Billy Madden
controls Joe Goddard. George Dawson
and Joe Butler. Dave Holland owns
Al O'Brien and Peter Msher, while Gus
Tuthill has hypnOtized Jim DAILY, Jim
Corbett's old sparring partner. Some
months ago it will be remembered that
Goddard and kahei fought at the Coney
Island CLUB for purse OF $500. That
was big figure for two men OF their
reputation, but Madden and Holland,
who controlled them, wOnld not permit
them TO fight for less. The original
sum offered was $4,000 but Madden
and Holland insisted on So, 500 more,
and they got ii. Score one for the
trust,
In Philadelphia recently Madden put
his new world heater, George Dawson,
the Australian, against Hollands COM
ing champion, Al 0'Brien. The Phila-
delphia people who ran the show offered
Madden and Holland fine sum for the
champions. out they would have none
of it. They insisted upon the larger
end of the gate receipts, and they got
it. The house was jammed, sportsmen
from Philadelphia, New York and other
cities expected a "good run" for their
money. Instead Of that Dawson on In
structions from Madden played light"
and fat money was won without the
slightest exertion on the part OF the pu-
gilists and without the public gaining
the slightest insight as to Dawsob's true
worth.
Jim Daily, controlled by Gus TuthIIl.
and Joe Butler, guided by Billy Mad

Club for $500. Neither man was
worth more than $1,000, and that sum
was offered by the club. Madden and
TuthilI wanted $4,000. Judge Newton
refused to entertain the proposition.
Finally 50, 500 purse was agreed upon
"a 81. 500 gain for Messrs. Madden and
Tuthill. Score another point for the
trust.

Influence of Association.

The broadening influence Of associa-
ton among artisans, mechanics and
laborers of all classes can hardly be
over estimated. The mixing of me-
chanics from the different European
races in the manufactures of America
has had an important, and far reaching
effect on the development of the arts in
America. The Englishman brings the
careful execution, the fine skill, the
honesty of work that he has been
trained to in his native land. The
Frenchman brings the artistic sense,
the refined taste and the exquisite
touch of hands trained to nicely of
detail. The German brings the patient
industry, and methedical habits and
sound practical knowledge of applying
honestly the education he has gained in
country famed for its systems. While
the Scandinavian brings an aptness for
mastering new ideas, and new practices
that makes him a marvel even unto his
own countrvmen. To all of this COM
blned the Yankee brings an inventive
genius and an aptness to assimilate the
technical phases of business methods,
that makes a completeness in all
branches of arts and mechanisms.
The Association of the differing ways
and practices of the various natlonali-
ties stimulate progress and advance
ment to higher level and bring about
a fellowship of international advance
ment, and the elimination of national
and race prejudice.

They Game From Out About
Married Man In the Case.

they Came From Out About Fairmont'
Married MAJ in the Case.
Miss Grace Dean, n Of the young
girls whose disappearance was chron-
icled in yesterdays REGISTER. has been
recaptured.
She was found at Lumberport, Har-
rIson county, in company with Charles
Berkshire, a barber and a married man,
of Fairmont.
Berkshire is in jail and Miss Dean Is
at home. Miss Baker, the other runa-
way. has not yet been located.
Berkshire is a weIl-known barber OF
| Fairmont, aud before he married was q
frequent caller npon Miss Dean. About
a year ago, however, he married a
Miss WheatIy, Of Clarksburg, and his
wife and one child were abandoned when
he returned to his old love-Miss Dean
with whom he continued TO CORE
spond after his marriage. Last Tues
day Berkshire and Miss Dean met al
Grafton, aud there and then concluded
to elope, the father agreeing to forget
and desert the wife and child, who were
on a visit to her mother at Clarksburg'
Miss Deans father, who is an en-
gineer on the B & o. road, heard OF IT,,
and with a revolver started after the
pair, at first swearing out a warrant for
Berkshire. He did not catch sight OF
! him, however, but he was arrested
at Lumberport, Harrison county, and
taken to Grafton and lodged In jail.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs:
| Berkshire, mother OF the accused, ana
also for his wife, who was on a visit to
her mother at Clarksburg, but was sent
for yesterday.
Several attachments were sworn out
Yesterday at Fairmont upon the fixtures
in the barber shop operated by Berk-
shire, and the whole affair is certain to
result in a peck of trouble for him, as
the girls in the case are said to be only
| seventeen years of age.
