For Joe Walcott, a New Star, to
Knock Out Austin Gibbons.
BRILLIANT WHILE IT LASTED.
The Fighting Was Scientific and
Square Knockdowns Were Nu-
merous Enough to Make It Very
Interesting-A Pair Of Moder-
ately Good Fights Before the
Event of the Evsning-General
Sporting News.

CeNEY ISLAND, n. Y, October 15.-
In less than four rounds tonight Joe
Walcott, of Boston, Tom O'Rourke's
colored wonder, succeeded in stopping
Austin Gibbons, the Paterson light
weight, at the same time pushed hlm-
self right 10 the front Of his own class.
The fight was at 40 pounds, ten rounds,
but the pace was too fast for the Jersey
man, and he was practically out after
right-hand swing had sent him TO the
floor.
The mill was pulled of by the Allan
tic Athletic Club. A fair crowd at

him furiously, and although the latter
showed no lack of aggressiEeness him
self, Walcott's heavy blows proved 100
much for him and he was carried to his
corner before the conclusion OF the
fourth, very badly punished.
Though Gibbons wanted TO resume,
the fight was awarded TO Walcott.
The curtain raiser was bout between
Tim Murphy, of the Pastime 4. c.. and
Jerry Sullivan, Of Brooklyn. 1t was
somewhat tame until the fourth, when
Murphy did some furious work and was
given the fight.
Billy Ernst, of Brooklyn, and jim
Holmes, of New York, met at 1873
pounds aud after five rounds Of hard
lighting Ernst was declared the winner,
| Holmes having injured his arm severely
during q period Of in-hghting.
In the first round of the Walcott-
Gibbons battle, Walcott led quickly

srUMp rs A bright Fox TERRI Err.


A weli-known Character in the ONCE of
the Clerk of the Municipal court-His
Equine Friend Joe.
Stump is all exceedingly bright and
denlonstrative fox TERROR who takes
charge of the office of his master,
Samuel s. Adams, the clerk of the mu-
nicipal court, when that official is called
away, and Stump bosses the office Just
as much while his master is present.
His usual position is on the high win
dow.sill where he can have a good view
of Market street and see any Of his com.
panions who might be passing, and ct
the same time should the door latch
rattle, preceding the entrance of any
visitor, Stump wants to have the best
possible view of who ever comes in. The
way his ears prick up and he bends his
head, this way and that, to get an all.
over measurement Of the visitor, within.
pering and tapping with forc.foot to
gain his attention, is extremely comical.
His special friend, and the one whose
visit throws Stump into an astonishing
fit of ecstatic jollity, is police patrol
wagon driver, John Purcell. When
that officer enters the room Stump flies
to meet him, and with every pretence
of canine welcome, tumbling and roll
ing over the carpet, does everything to
court the visitors attention.
1t is known, however, that Stump
is u most artful rascal. All the fawning
is done to coax Mr. PARCEL for an inyi-
tation 10 the patrol wagon station at
Front aud French streets. 1t is there
that Stump's dearest friend, the big,
black police horse Joe stays. The
fox terrier would rather be in Joe's
company than anywhere else in the
world. He would rather rush along
barking in front of the police wagon,
yelling and jumping at Joe's nose
than be presented with q porterhouse
steak. Should Joe take any notice of
him, which he occasionally does, by
bending down his head and showing
his teeth to his canine admirer, the fox
terrier is in the seventh heaven of de-
light.
Above everything else Stump is a
''hooray" dog, and would rather get
into noisy racket than eat his meals.
The noise and bang of the police wagon
as it thunders along the street he looks
upon as show gotten up for his own
| peculiar benefit by his friends, Mr.. Pur-
cell and Joe. lie is in dead earnest
when the procession is going along.
| His expression is a serious one, and not,
like most dogs when fun is in the air, of
n merry hilarious kind. AS a certain
French writer says Of the Englishman,
che takes his pleasures seriously" so
the terrier has his fun in dead earnest.
stump has an idea also that Mr. Pur-
cell knows more than anyone else in the
world for he once introduced him to u
cage of live-caught rats. The memory
of that occasion will never vanish from
Stump's imaginative brain, for on each
visit Of the patrol driver to Mr.. Adams
Office, the officer is met with question
from Stump, amy more rats down at
the stable?

to the extraordinary point Of, for the
first tinio in his life, insisting upon his
own way in his own house.
"Mr. Lillibridge Laplock- Sir!" This
from Mrs. Laplock, as the poor, bad
gerod little mnn saw the faces of the two
sisters bent upon him in stern and por-
tcntious surprise, was enough.
He at once left the ladies and began
hasty preparations for departure; but
not until, when quite alone, he had as
suaged his resentful feelings in sundry
heated fisticuffs with invisible forces,
which, from the vigor of his movements,
could not have included less than the
concrete representative embodiments of
the Patchwork League, the Clawtalkon
Circle, the Ferosis Society, the Suffrage
Persuaders, the Society for the Cure Of
Crippled CANNES, and the abstract Lap
lock family Mind.
Whatever comfort ne may have de-
rived from this secluded though violent
form of relief, the next night found
Rosemary Villa closed, in the hands of
servants at aboard wages" and the Lap
lock family, including daughter and
ward, tossing upon channel steamer
on their way from Folkestone to Bou-
logne.

FOR PURLIC PRINTER.
President Cleveland selects Thomas II
Benedict for the Place--Two Other A p
pOlItments.

President Cleveland selects Thomas IL.
Benedict for the Place--Two Other APP
pointments.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Presi-
dent sent three interesting nominations
to the Senate to-day. One was that Of
Thomas u. Benedict of New York, who
was public printer under Mr.. Cleve-
lands former administration, to be
public printer again, which involved a
high compliment from the President.
inasmuch as some % applicants have
been pressed upon his attention by Sen
ators and Representative who wanted
to name the head of the greatest print
employees Wearied with their impor-
tunities, President Cleveland turned to
Mr.. Benedict, whose administration of
the office before had won his confidence.
AS Mr.. Benedicts relations with Sena.
tor Hill are very friendly, there will be
no opposition to his confirmation,
James d. Neomans of Iowa, who was
nominated for interstate commerce com.
missioner in the place of the late ex.
Senator McDill Of Iowa, owes his ap.
pointment to the fact that he was an
Iowa man, and partly to the fact that
lie had HAD experience as railroad man.
No practical railroad man has been u
member of the commission al any time
since it was organized.
In nominating Charles II. j. Taylor,
the well-known colorcd speaker and
writer, formerly of Georgia and now of
Kansas, to the recordership of deeds Of
this district, now held by ex-senator
Blanche X. Bruce, colored, formerly of
Mississippi, President Cleveland follows
the practice, observed ever since Fred.
erick Douglas was appointed recorder
years ago, of selecting colored man
for this place. The white citizens OF the
district do not like this. President Cleve-
land seems to like Taylor, for he ap.
pointed him minister TO Liberia under
his former administration, and minister
to Bolivia under his present administers.
ton. Taylor went to Liberia, hut after
looking the place over returned on the
same steamer and resigned. But his
nomination to the Bolivian mission
failed Of confirmation. -.
