THE BATTLE 4 DRAW.
Dixon Unable to Down Young
Critic in Twenty Rounds,
BUT HE SHOWS HIS SUPERIORITY.

Griffo, Though a Dozen Pounds Heavier
Than the Colored Featherwsight, Would
Have Been Defeated Had 1t Been n Finish
/ Fight
Boston, June 30.-Flve thousand spec
tAtors witnessed one of the prettiest fights
ever held in this city at the Casino last
night John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan
were very conspicuous in the front rows
and Sullivan was continually running to
Critics corner with tips and suggestions
for the Australian Dixon was in grand
shape, and presented a strange contrast
| to the burly Critic. The latter seemed
/ overfat, and his heavy form created the
expression that Dixon would have hard
tussle to win, but here was where the col
ored lad proved his gameness and adroit
ring tactics. He was cuffed and slapped
and cut about the face by his heavier OPP
| ponent, but on more than one occasion
during the twenty rounds it looked as
though his left hand would finish the
Australian.
Critic is great fighter, and no mistake,
but the impression gained from the battle
of last night is that at anywhere near even
weight the colored boy would win. Critic
tipped the beam at 1876 pounds, while Tom
O'Rourke told the newspaper men present
that Dixon weighed 1913 pounds. Referee
Jonhnny Eckhardt's decision of a draw
was the only decision that could be rem
dered, but the real honors are Dixon's.
Both men started in with an evident
determination to make quick work of his
adversary, punching beginning in the first
J round. In the second round Critic re-
| ceived warning from Mr.. Eckhardt that he
must refrain from "ruffing" with his ell
bow on the negro's chin. He did as re-
quested, and needed no further instruc.
tions.
From the third to the eighth round
there was terrific fighting on both sides
AT the end of the seventh round both
were tagged out, and Dixon's nose was
bleeding.
When the men were called for the ninth
round Dixon's smile had returned, and a.
he rushed Critic to his corner he laughed
aloud at some warning given to the Aus
tralian by one of his handlers. Many
blows were struck on each side, though
but little damage resulted. Both were
fighting hard at the sound of the gong
In the tenth round the spectators were
treated to a minutes slugging match, ant
before one could hardly disentangle tn,
blows that had landed the men had broker
away and were in the center.
Rounds II, - and l3 were very even
but repetition of their predecessors
Dixon would lead, Critic would duck ol
if not would meet his opponent with
punch on the eye or nose Dixon woult
back away and repeat the performance
= sometimes landing on Griffo's body, which
was an ugly red in patches. Thus thu
> battle continued until the last round.
In round 20 and last there was a furious
two minute exchange of blows, in which
, | the honors were divided and then a wall
2 around the ring The pair had Tough
their fight of fights, and at the finish thel
sh ook hands and laughed good naturedl,
at one another. The referee declared tn
affair drawn.

Fatal Fire in Brooklyn.

BROOKLYN, June 9o.-Fire last evening
destroyed the Woodruff stores, five story
brick structure on Furman street, causing
81 ,O75,OOO loss, During the progress of the
fire the south wall Of warehouse fell
with terrific crash. Four employees of
the Ferry company were on trestle work
which runs through the yard. They were
playing a hose on the company's property
when the wall fell. Three of them were
caught beneath the falling wall while the
fourth jumped and escaped. A rescu.
ing party was formed, which in short
time succeeded in bringing their limp
bodies out of the debris. Two of them
had been killed outright, while the third
man received injuries which will prob.
ably result in his death. The dead are
John C. Barrow, aged 25, and James
Prentice, aged 26. Samuel Solan, who
had his right leg cut off, will die.

MARsELLEs, June 3O-The police have

NEW York, June 3d. Today's Press
says The cruiser New York, which Is ly-
ing at anchor of Stapleton, L. l., is said
to have lost sixty of her crew by desertion
since her arrival. The trouble is said to
have been caused by too strict executive
officer, who, instead of applying a mild
punishment for mild breaches of discip-

blood, impeded in It's circulation, flowed
in slackaned and la6orious currents.
An increasing fever consumed the body
with internal fires; the head throooed
with anguish; the parched lips burned
with a raging thirst. As death drew
nigh insects swarmed upon the body and
birds OF prey commenced to feast upon
IL before life was yet extinct.
"Yet no vital organ was directly
touched, aud the stubborn life surrend-
cred to the foe invincible only after a
long and protracted siege. Even the
pitiless and Stolid Roman endured not

yrotracted and intense. For death, II
not FASTENED by other means, did not
usually take place for four or five days.
Rarely, however, was the wretched

mon in an age when no discrimination

uausted IN the endeavor to Intensity

about the middle OF the Fifteenth GEN.
tury Though there are historic illusions
to its earlier use), consisted In two
upright posts, connected at the
top by crossbeam, from which
the rope might be suspended.
In employing the gallows the
offender was, in early times, driven TO
the place in cart, which, after the
halter had been adjusted, was driven
from under the beam, leaving the man
TO fall as far as the rope permitted. 10
more recent times similar fall was Sc
cured either by attaching a weight
much heavier than the human body to
the other end OF the rope, which pass
ing through wheel at the beam, pulled
the body upward some feet, when the
weight was released, or by requiring the
prisoner to stand on platform while
the rope was adjusted, the support OF
which was removed, when the criminal
fell TO the eud of the ropes length.
Far superior to hanging as a means
of taking life judicially is execution by
the guillotine aud by electricity. The
guillOtine is at the present time en-
ployed 10 France and her colonies, in
Belgium. Norway and Sweden, and in
Italy. The accompanying Illustration
gives a clear idea of its workings. The
electric chair is so far In use In the
state OF New York only. Although It's
operation was attended with some
bungling at the outset, consensus OF
opinion pronounces IL now the safest
and most humane method OF taking
life; and, judging by the several re-
ports from the other side, the probable
tiles are that the system will soon be
introduced into European countries.
