BANTAMs FIGHT.
Murphy and Plimmer Have rs Round Go
At New Orleans.

New Orleans, September 25.-The
Olympic Clubs carnival opened tonight
with fight between Johnny Murphy of
Boston and Billy Plimmer, the English
bantam weight champion. The contest
was 25-round go with gloves, under
Marquis of Queensbury rules, for purse

Murphy this evening tipped the scale at
lib 1-2 pounds. John Eckheldt of New
York was referee. The gong scalled the
men to the mark at 9.16. PIimmer had
the best of the first round. In the tenth
Plimmer tried to clinch Murphy who
tapped him with the right and left and
threw him down. In the 18th round
Plimner weakened Murphy with a hard
right haEd punch in the ribs In the
18th, Plimmer caught Murphy under
the chin, and he went down but quickly
jumped for his punishment. Plimmer
hammered Murphy all around, but
could not get him out. Murphy came
up gamely in the 18th. Plimmer forced
the fighting in the 21st round, and sent
in a terrible blow on Murphy's mouth.
Murphy began to weaken and staggered
around. He was almost gone when the
gong sounded. In the a2d. Murphy came
up weak, and ran into hard left hand
swing and was nearly staggered. He
gamely caught Plimmer under the chin
and foored him. Plimmer staggered
up and hugged Murphy till the gong
saved him. While sparring in the 25th,
Murphy stopped, to scratch his head, and
planted hard on the chin as the gong
sounded. The 25th ended with both
men sparrine, and the contest was de-
clared a draw, according to the agree
ment, as both men were on their feet at
the sound of the gong. Murphy was
badly marked, but Plimmer had scarce
ly bruise, with the exception of "A swol-
len lip. The fight lasted an hour and
forty minutes, and was hot and heavy
from the beginning to the end.

AN AsIATIc FLEET.
1t Will Be the Strongest Force We Haye
Had in Those Waters.

Washington September "a. 4.-Secretary
Herbert decided today to add the York
town to the Asiatic squadron. He tel
egraphed orders to Mare Island navy
yard to have her docked at once and
have all necessary repairs made as soon
as possible. The Yorktown reached San
Francisco today from Behring Sea. She
draws only IA feet of water which pecG-
liarly adapts her for the shallow har-
bors of China. 1t is expected she can be
made ready to leave San Francisco about
October 20 with short stop for coal at
Honolulu and should reach Yokohama
about November 10 or almost simultan-
eous ly with the Machias which will pro-
ceed TO the same destination by way of
Europeaafrom New York within the next
two weeks. The Charleston ought to
be at Yokohama before the end OF this
week. These three vessels with the Baltl-
more, Concord, Petrol, and Monoeacy,
will make the Asiatic feet the most for
midable the United States has had in
eastern waters for many years.

English Trade Unions Assume an Offensive
Attitude.

London September 24.-Recently the sec
Ietary of London Painters Trade society
addressed letter to Baroness Burdett-
Couts, stating a comp laint was lodged
against her by branch of the Painters
Union for permitting her stable man at
Brookfeld to paint her stables instead of
having the work sdone by union painters
In.reply to.the letter the Baroness writes
Brookfeld is owned by her husband and
she denounces as "monstrous and intolerable
the oppression the union claim to have the
right to practic which would deprive every
workingman of the right to work out his
own advancement by his own energy and
rob him of lis birthright of personal hber-
ty.''
The action of the union is generally con-
demed by the newspapers which call atten-
tion to the great services of the Baroness
10 the working classes in spending many
years and much of. her fortune for their
benefit.

Bangor, September 24.-There have been
but few new developments in the case of
the finding of the deComposed body of the
mansin the north Brewer woods by Henry
b. Curtis. who.was out hunting. The body
was in such a bad state that the man IS
features were not recognizable. There is no
clue to his identity. The body had probab-
ly been in the woods month. The man
was dressed in a.blue shirt and dark clothes.
He was about five feet ten inches in
height and about fifty years old. He had
a full black beard and W ould probably
weigh $50 pounds. The note book (Which
was found near him showed that love was
the cause of the suicide.
No one is missing in this vicinity that
would tally to the description sof the re-
mains and it is thought that the man must
have been wandering workman or tramp.
Unless, the notes in the book lead to his
identity it will always remain a mystery.

Augusta, September 24.-Although the
Maine election is now twiee-told tale. the
drifting away of the smoke from the bat
tlefield has left visible several interesting
facts The full returns from every city,
town and plantation in the entire state
have now been received at the Secretary
of States office, and MIR. a. D. Russell,
the experienced and efficient engrossing
and election clerk, has nearly completed
the tabulations.
Some interesting facts are shown by these
tabulations. There was very little cutting
on the votes for higher candidates, and the
total of the vote for the four congressman
is within few votes of the total for Gov
ernor. Under the former style Of marking
the ballot the Governors are much ahead of
any other candidate on the ticket, as
many put the cross against the first name
only, thinking that thereby they were
voting the whole ticket.
The complete returns show that the
exact vote for Governor, as it will be de-
olared at the next legislature, is as follows:
Cleaves, 60, $50; Johnson, 30,62l; Bateman,
(Peo.) 5,32l; Hersey. (Pro) 2.730; Scatter
ing, 3;a remarkably small number. Cleayes' s
exact plurality is 3S,978.
The only county officer elected who is a
Democrat is Arthur Doyle, a FreLch Cana
dian candidate for register of deeds in the
Northern registry of Aroostook county.
There are fifteen towns and plantations
in this registry, and previously lave been
so overwhelmingly Democratic that THERE
publicans in that region have not made
nominations in other years. Dogle's plu-
rality this year over Leyite Thibideau,
the Republican candidate, was onlysll7.
Within the borders of that registry are
three legislative districts, which. the Re-
publicans have not for years considered it
worth while to contest. In William Dickey' )
district no Republican was nominated this
year, but such was not the case in the other
two districts. In the Frenchville and
Madawaska Remi A. Doyle, (R) is elected by
AZ majority, his vote being 267 to 225 for
Joseph Michand, DO. In the remaining
district the contest resulted as follow:
