Carroll and Bowen Smash Each 9th
err For Twenty-Five Rounds, and
the Meet is Declared n Draw.
New Orleans, Aug. Skinny Car
roll and Andy Bowen met tonight for
the second time in the presence of a
large audience in the Auditorium Ath-
letic club and fought for a purse of
81, 800, of which the winner was to re-
ceive $1,000 and the loser $500.
Both men entered the ring in first
class condition, having trained care
fully for many weeks. Both men
weighed in at $50 pounds at the ring
side
Gloves were donned and time called
for the first round.
The men advanced to the centre of
the ring. Bowen knocked Carroll down
and then landed right on CAROLS
face, Carroll missing vicious return.
In a hot rally in the centre of the ring
Bowen had the best of it. Bowen
pushed Carroll through the ropes at
the end of the round.
The. second round was a rooster, the
fighting being fast and furious
In each round to the ninth, the fight
was Of very interesting character.
neither party appearing to have any
advantage materially.
In tne 2hlnIn, CarrOll STRUCK Bowen
under the jaw, knocking him down
The fighting continued to the twenty
fifth round, the contestants being fairly
matched in the matter of giving and
taking punishment.
In the twenty-fifth round, Carroll
seemed to have the best of the fight,
and the opinion was very general that
he would have won in a few rounds
more, but Referee Duffy decided the
fight a draw and the purse will be
equally divided.

BULLEr-PRooF SOLDIERS.
Conditions. Which Would Increase
Hand-to-Hand Fighting.
TLondon Spectator

If we are right in our reasoning, and
if, again, there is not some latent but
fatal defect in Herr Doves system,
the result on warfare will be a very
remarkable one. Since the object of
war is to kill-''to place hors de COM
bait is only a crude way of putting
the fact-new ways of killing infantry
and cavalry will have to be devised.
The chances of hitting men in the face
at long distances with rifle fire will not
be good enough. But the only ways
of killing effectively that will remain
open Will be artillery fire, close combat
with bayonet, and dubbed rifie-pre-
ferably the latter, as the cuirass will
make the bayonet difficult to use with
effect-the riding men down by caval-
ry charges. The first of these. artil-
Elery fire, has hitherto been regarded as
of comparatively little Importance in
the matter of killing. 1t is often de-
clared, indeed, that the chief effect
produced by the guns is the moral eff
feet Though not many men are killed,
men do not like to be within the range
of artillery. Possibly, however, the
effect of artillery fire could be increas-
ed In any case, and since everything
is relative, the fact of the falling off of
efficiency in rife fire must increase the
Importance of artillery fire.
1t is obvious, however, that the chief
effect of the bullet proof soldiers on
the circumstances of a battle would be
to increase enormously the hand-to-
hand fighting. But hand-to-hand fight
ing means an advantage to the strong
est and most athletic force Now, it
will be seen from the bare enumera-
ton of the changes which seem likely
to follow the bullet-proof soldiers that
a great advantage will be given to
England. Bullet-prOof cuirasses will
give an advantage to the nation which
can only bring a small number of
troops into the field. But that nation
is England. 1t will increase the inn
portance of artillery. But this should
be in favor of England, for though we
have not the CONSUMPTION, and so can
not get men in large quantities, we can
manufacture as many guns as we
choose. Next, the revival of close COM
bat ought to be in our favor, for Eng
lishmen are surely better at the rough
and-tumble of close fighting than their
neighbors The infantry are natural
ly more handy and more athletic, and
the cavalry are, if not theoretically
better riders, more capable horSemen.
An Englishman is more likely to get
his horse to do the impossible than a
Frenchman or a German. If, then.
Herr Doves invention enters the reg
ion of practical warfare, the change
will be in England's favor. 1t will give
us chance to escape being pressed to
the ground by hostile millions
In the navy, no less than in the army.
the cuirass should be of enormous i'm
portance. During a sea fight a great
many things will want doing under a
storm of rifle fire, but will hardly be
doable except in one of Herr Doves
jackets. A few bullet-proof sailors
would be a. .godsend TO a. captain when
he was fighting his ship against heavy
odds. In the field, too, the cuirass
would be of great use to artillerymen.

Fatally Wounded, and He Himself
Corpse-AI Through Jealousy.
Ottumwa, Ia, Aug. S.--W. S. jenkins,
baggageman for the Burlington at
the depot at Charlton, Ia, today shot
his sweetheart, Julia Murphy, her sis
ter, JOSIE their mother, Mrs. Eliza
Murphy, and himself Jenkins and
Josie are now dead, while the mother
and younger sister are fatally Woun-
ded.
Jenkins had been devoted to Julia
for five years and she had received his
attentions. Mrs. Murphy kept board
ing house and jenkins boarded there.
Becoming more and more enamored of
Miss Murphy, he became more bold in
speaking out against the attentions of
other men, until after quarrel over
the matter, Mrs. Murphy requested
him to find another boarding house.
This he did and did not seem at all
hurt, but kept calling a the Murphys.
No one knows why he became par
ticularly excited and jealous today, but
he went over to the house in bad
mood.
He had some words with Julia about
the attentions of a man. He then
drew a pistol and shot her Turning
to the mother, who had rushed into
the room, he shot her twice without
a word, after which he stepped into a
hall where her sister stood and shot
her, killing her instantly. He then
blew out his own brains, firing into his
right temple.
jenkins has always borne an excel
lent reputation and the general belief
is that he was insane. The coroner
will investigate tomorrow.

was out in the Mediterranean with a
rowing commission, and we were at
Alexandria at the time the obelfsk was

presented by the Egyptian government
to this country, but the people were
wild about having it moved. We had
to place a guard around the men who
were working on the shaft, and even
then there was almost a riot.
But that was one of the prettiest
pieces of engineering work l have ever
seen. The engineers who were moving
our shaft had couple of big wooden
cases built that fitted around the needle
like the pieces of wood around the
lead in a pencil. There were couple

the shaft like the trunions of a can

jacks and just picked that immense
stone off it's pedestal, swung it around
horizontal, and then lowered as gently
as could be on a long sliding way, with
cannon balls under it for rollers. They
had a square hole cut in the stern Of
the steamer and had it slid into the
hull through that and replaced the
sheathing outside.
'Under the shaft in the inside Of
the pedestal there were a lot of bronze
toads and ornaments and the Lord
