T. 81. Carroll defeated M. j. Sullivan.
K. Muller defeated +. Carter
C. Cathcart defeated w. Cook Jr.
e. Lyons Jr. defeated j. o. Keoghn Jr.
NJ Kirchner defeated S. Viclni.
The first brace of boxers to appear be-
fore Critical audience-F. II. Smith of
the Olympic Club and c. f. Dixon of the
San Francisco Athletic Club-received
quite al ovation. Smith was looked upon
as sure winner, and such he proved to
be in surprisingly quick order.
When the signal to proceed to business
was given. Smith walked briskly from his
corner and met his opponent half way.
They shook hands, but on breaking
away Smith let 60 the right, and catching
Dixon on the jaw the latter went to the
floor a completely knocked-out man.
When he recovered his thinking-box he
asked what was the matter with the
lights, ard on being informed of the result
of the bout he was the most surprised man
on earth.
T. 81. Carroll of the Olympic Club and
NJ. j. Sullivan of the San Francisco Ath-
letic Club were the next boxers to enter
the ring. They scaled 13O pounds and
were in splendid condition.
Carroll held the winning hand from the
start, using his right frequently on his op-
ponents body and face to good advantage.
Sullivan was game enough. but his knowl-
edge of the 'manly art'' is very limited.
He landed a few blows in the first and Sec
ond rounds, which bothered Carroll some
what, but in the subsequent rounds Carroll
completely smothered him.
Sullivan was knocked down twice in the
third round and the sound of the gong
was the only thing that saved him from a
knockout. The sixth round was very hot.
Sullivan fought an uphill fight and
showed great staying qualities, but. as
previously stated, his lack of knowledge
of boxing deprived him of the prize. Car
roll was awarded the bout.
f. Carter. pet of the Olympic Club
and F. Muller of the San Francisco Ath
letic Club, 135 pounds. came next Muller
was the more powerful man. Carter
opened by swinging wild. mis- blows going
over Muller's head. He was using very
poor judgment. Muller was on the de.
fensive and swung at Carter whenever the
latter came within reach. Just before the
gong sounded corners Carter caught Mul.
Ter stiff right on the neck, sending the
receiver to the floor. When Muller re.
gained his pins he ran madly at his op.

tion that if the rosy liquid was not glow

there would be trouble.
Season burg, kno wing his patron only too
well, decided that the imminent trouble
would manifest itself when he asked pay

and his "lady FREUD" out of the house.
They departed breathing out threatening
and slaughter, and made their way to a
saloon across the street, where they as
suaged their thirst with steam beer and
dallied for time at the lunch-counter.
There was long knife on the counter,

the barkeeper, seized and hid it under his

the saloon-keeper's side. Seasonburg fell

the dripping knife in his hand. turned
upon sailor, who showed disposition to
avenge the liQuor-dealer, and drove him
back into the saloon.
Then he took to mis- heels, throwing the
knife into an alley as he ran. Near the
corner OF Montgomery and Pacific streets
he encountered the patrolmeD, who after
a short but furious battle took him into
custody. He was booked at the old CITY
Prison last night for assault to commit
murder. Seasonburg's wound is danger.

WILLIMAkTIC.

Right on the Verge of a Water Famine.
 Willimantic, Sept. 12.-This city ap- preached the nearest point to a water famine yesterday in its history. The river at the pumping station was sixty six inches below the top of the dam, and the pumps drew in so much air with the water that they became inop- erative. The water in the reservoir. on Hosmer mountain had been drawn off to within six or seven feet of the bot tom. The water liberated from the Ashford ponds has got as far as Mount Hope, but has not made its way to the pumping station. It will arrive to-day, and assisted by the rains that are now certain to come soon, will relieve the city from any further danger this sea son. But it was a very close call, and some action should be taken by the au- thorities to meet the growing water demands of the public. It has been suggested that if Coventry Lake is too expensive, a decided addition might be obtained by collecting the water of the numerous large springs in the sur rounding mountains, and pumping it with wind-mills into the reservoir, thereby improving the quality as well as the quantity of water. ,@

During the early years of the war MT. French united with the Methodist Episcopal in Milford, and for over thirty years he had been an active. devoted and jealous member of the church of his choice, The children who attended the classes taught by Mir. French had the privilege of being taught by Christian teacher.
 Mir French was fond of boating and sailing. He knew "all the ropes about a boat, and all the snags and shallow places in the harbor and sound. Many fishing parties have been in the habit of coming here, year after year, during the fishing season, and always engaged MT. French long ahead to take them out.
 Mir. French leaves three children, Andrew A., now in Baltimore, Mrs. An nie James, a widow whose home is in New Haven and William, who resides In Brooklyn. Two brothers survive MT French, the Rev. W. G. French, who for the past twenty-five years has been city missionary to Blackwell's island, and the Rev. Lewis French of Noroton, who for the past thirty-eight years has been rector of St. Luke's church in that place.
 The sad tidings reached Milford early yesterday of the sudden death of the Rev. George H. Griffin, which took place at his home in Springfield on Sat urday night. MT. Griffin was pastor of Plymouth church for twen years coming from the Union semi ary here and was ordained and installed in June 1865.
