MR.. RUNYoN's STATEMENT
Regarding the Trouble at the Grant
House "Wednesday Night.

House wednesday Night
In Police Court yesterday morning,
the case against F. c. Darby, charged
with disorderly conduct at the Grant
House, Wednesday night, was dis
missed.
Mr.. Howard A. Runyon, who was ac-
cused by Miss Weeks Of insulting con-
duct toward her, says the charge is but
part of a plot on the part Of the woman
and Mr.. Darby to place him in q bad
light before the public and to iniure his
business. He states that the woman
called once before, ostensiblY to nurse
Mr.. Darby, aud that be determined
when he learned of it, that it should not
happen again. When Miss Weeks call
ed Wednesday night, he further
states. he tried to dissuaGe her from
going to Darby's room, but she insisted,
alleging that she had business matter
with him and would remain but a few
minutes. Mr.. Runyon says she was In
the room for two hours and half, and
when she came out he met her on the
stairs. The electric lights were turned
of at the time. 1t was then that be
noticed Darby at the head OF the stairs
and inquired of him why he was out In
the hall 10 his night-shirt A quarrel
followed and Darby was arrested.
The above statement is made by re-
quest Of Mr.. Runyon, who feels that the
publication 10 yesterday mornings
REGISTER did him an injustice. He
states that he has endeavored to con-
duet an orderly house, and it was be-
cause OF that fact that the trouble &C.
CURED.

ELI GOT THBRE.
A LIVELY LITTLE SCRAP WHICB CAME OFF,
LAST NIGHF
Two Colorsd Men Come Together in Saloon
and "Fight' Four Interesting Rounds
for a Small Purse.

There was a great pugllistic encoun-
ter in back room of prominent Mar
ket street saloon last night.
For good solid interest, the Corbett-
Mitchell alleged mill wasn't In it, while
fun cropped out at very frequent inter-
walls all during the performance, and
along towards the last the crowd OF
spectators had to hold each other up,
so weak had they become through ex-
cessive laughter.
1t was hilarious scene, from start 10
finish, and man with kodac could
have laid the foundation for an inde-
pendent fortune by taking snapshots
at the antics of the contestants, as they
pranced about the floor in the eDdeavor
to hit one another while avoiding being
hit themselves.
One OF the contestants, when in his
normal condition, presides over the Gus
pidores in a popular place Of resort not
far from this Office, and answers to the
name of Eli. His opponent figured
technically as an unknown, and claimed
to be the heavyweight colored cham
pion of Old Virginia. Each man had
his admirers, and each man was backed
by admiring friends to the tune OF five
dollar note.
The two men stripped to the buff
about 9 o'clock. Eli got drink OF
brandy and was rubbed down with sand
paper, the unknown having exhibited q
preference for "a little good Ticker,
sah," got it and they faced each other
for the first round.
Time was called by the referee, we'll
known young gentleman with a turn for
sport, and at it they went, hammer and
tongs. AS a rule there was more spar
ring than hitting, but still some good
blows were gotten in, to the general ad-
vantage of Eli, while the Gro Nd cheered
the perspiring combatants aud en-
couraged them by every means in their
power. At the end Of the fourth
round the unknown, who had been
steadily getting the worst OF it, clutched
Ike In a death-like grip, and 1t took
about twelve men to pull the two
"sparrers" apart When finally separ-
ated, the unknown gave up the fight,
and Eli secured the purse Of $40 and the
congratuation of the crowd.
AS he resumed his clothes the jubilant
Eli said to his hacker:
"Gollf fMr. -, dat niger didn't
stand DO show at all. Deed, I'd fit, and
fit and ht all night, but what I'd done

A Horse walking the Union Bridge on
the Railroad.

A Horse walking the onion Bridge on
the Railroad
Yesterday morning. about 8 o'clock,
there was sight on the Union bridge,
which made people think their eyes
were deceiving them. They saw horse
walking on the railroad bridge, fully
sixty feet from the earth, from the
Wheeling side. About fifty feet from
the mouth of the tunnel the horse
made misstep. and his legs passed De-
tween the ties, leaving him In a oao
position, and hindering his evident In
tention 10 reach the Ohio side.
Toll keeper j. H. Rodeheaver heard
a noise and walked out to see the morse
approaching. He thought something
had gone wrong with the general work
ings Of things, and 1t was an apparitlon.
When the horse fell, he went out TO
convince himself that it was really a
horse, and then soon called fifteen men
from the Top mill, and section force
Of Panhandle workmen TO the bridge.
BY main strength they lifted the horse,
and dragged him to the mouth OF the
tunnel. Never before did horse at
tempt such caper on the bridge and
had q train come along bad accident
must have resulted. Fortunately 1t
was not time for train.
Thomas Leland, the North Main
street blacksmith, lives in the Ravine,
at the East End OF the Top mill tunnel.
His horse broke away, and ran through
the tunnel, and the subsequent excite
meut resulted.

THE CORBETT-JACKSON BATTLE
Local Sports In Earnest In Their Efforts
to Bring 1t Here.

The local sporting men who are agi-
tating the project to pull of the Cor
bett-Jackson fight in this city, appear
to be thoroughly in earnest, and it is
possible that Wheeling will be made
famous in sporting circles as the scene
OF one OF the big battles Of the period.
The matter was discussed FIRST as joke,
but was taken up seriously, and now it
said that $4,000 is assured, in case
there will be no interference on the
part of the authorities. 1t is said that a
considerable amount OF money can also
be secured from Pittsburg parties.
An effort will be made to ascertain
the law bearing on prize fights, and
secure an official construction Of the
law before any further effort is made
to bring the fight here. 1t is not at all
probable that the fight will be pulled of
in West Virginia, however.

Oddities of Wnr,

From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Contrary to general opinion. the improve
ment in firearms has not increased the
murderous results of battles. The battles
which have been fought in the South Ameri-
can wars since 1899 show that only one out
OF each seventy-nine men engaged vas
killed. In the Franco-German war of 1870
II one in each fifty-three met death. while
in the Crimean war one in each thirty
five of the effective force was left dead on
the field. In our great civil war enc out of
every sixty-five men was killed, and one in
each ten wounded In Napoleon's early
wars one out Of each twenty-eight was
killed, and I'm the early British conflicts as
high an average as one death to each ninc-
teen engaged Is reported.
