DISTINGUISHED RAILROAD MEN

Trip OF Inspection Over the Road

A distinguished party of railroad OFF,
cials occupied the dining car "Winches-
teri on side track near
the Union Depot this after
noon. They included Hon. Thomas
g. PIatt and Marsden j. Perry, receivers
Of the New York Il New England Rail

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Chief
Engineer Bidwell of the New York
& New England Railroads, Colonel
Douglas, independent engineering ex-

OF Baltimore; General Manager

the receivers were directed to make tour
OF inspection of the New York

last Tuesday. They have trayersed all the
lines as far as Fishkill with the exception
of the Boston and Ashland divisions, and
expect to complete their tour tomorrow.
Senator Platt i, left the party today
in this city, and took the train
for New York. The combination car in
Johnson's and is admirably designed for
official visitations. Senator Platt re-
ceived the NEWS representative very
cordially, but was not inclined
to make any statemint as to the condition
of the road. He said that Major Johnson
and Colonel Douglass had been re-
tanned for the expert investiga-
tion,. and the results OF their
examination would be forthcoming i'm
due ecourse of time. 'Neverth heless he
intimated that the results had been

agement of the road had been demon

such costly disasters as had befallen the

healthy condition.
Senator Platt deftly parried every at

A BRUTAL PRIZE FIGHT.
22 Hard-Fought Rounds in
a Warwick Tavern.
BOSTON AND wooNsOcKET SPORTS
Battle for $500 and To Pay or Old
Scores -scventy-F Providence and
woonsocIsct Men Witness the Mill
Mitchell of Boston Finally Wins.

There was prize fight at the Warwick
Hotel on the Silver Hook road, at II
o'clock last night, between William
Mitchell of Boston and Henry Jones of
Woonsocket, for purse of $500. The fight
was more for blood than money. The
men fought before on the 10th OF last
December and there has been consider
able hard feeling between them since
David Anderson OF Providence seconded
Mitchell and Herb Harrington acted as
second for Jones.
The first round-The men came up eau
tiously, waiting for an opening. Jones led
first and landed on Mitchell's jaws, Mitch
countered on Joness breast and chin. A
clinch followed.
In the second round Jones hit Mitchell
a hard one in the chest, which nearly
knocked him over the ropes.
In the third, Jones hit Mitchell a
swinging right handler on the nose which
drew the claret, but Mitchell did not
seem to mind IL, and came up smiling.
In the fourth round Jones hit light
blow on the jaw, Mitchell countering with
one on the ear.
In the fifth Jones led again, and landed
on Mitchell's wind. At this time II looked
as IL Jones would win in very few more
rounds, but the people were disappointed.
In the sixth round Mitchell got his second
wind, and hit Jones terrific blow in the
jaw, which brought him to his knees.
The seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
seemed 10 be in favor of Mitchell.
In the eleventh round Jones again rail-
lied and landed heavy blow over
Mitchell's right eye, cutting severe cash
which soon covered his face with blood,
but he came up savagely in the twelfth
round and planted his right in Jones
wind.
In the thirteenth round Mitchell hit
Jones heavy blow with his left over the
right eye, which soon began to swell.
In the fourteenth round Mitchell hit
Jones over the left eye and that began To
bulge out too. In the fifteenth round
nothing was done, but in the sixteenth
round Jones made another rally and aimed
savage blow at Mitchell's. jaw, which,
had it hit him, would have ended the
fight then and there. As it was Jones
lost his balance and fell heavily to the
floor.
In the seventeenth, eighteenth, nine
teenth and twentieth rounds the men did
nothing as they were nearly exhausted
and very groggy. In the twenty-first
round Mitchell hit Jones another blow on
the breast. Jones countered with one on
Mitchell's mouth.
In the twenty-second and last round
both men came up very weak, but
Mitchell seemed TO be- the stronger.
Jones knees were bending under him and
Mitchell hit. .hima wicked blow under the
chin and knocked him out. The men
fought according to Marquis of Queens
berry rules, in 22-foot ring, and they
weighed about one hundred and thirty
five pounds. There were about seventy
five OF the sporting fraternity from Bos-
ton, Woonsocket and Providence present.
They tried to keep the matter quiet.
