Dear Carrie now has left us,
But she has only gone before;
Siie has left II world of sorrow,
All troubles now are DER.
For she has entered the heavenly portals
And Is with the blessed one;
She Is now heavenly angel,
Her task ON earth is done.

To remain a little while:

How her heart was free from guile.
And ye who mourn for Carrie.

GAME SPORTS At MASPETH.
Four Pugiiists Pummci Each Other In
Approved Stvle,sBlood Dyed the Saw.


Maspeth. L. l., Oct. 21.--About 500
sports were present at the Empire Attn
letic club tonight The main attraction
was the 2i-round bout between Jimmy
Barry, of Chicago. and Jack Medden, OF
Brooklyn.
The contest practically decided the
105-pound championship of America.
as both lads are champions in their
class IN the west and east respectively.
The opening bout was at catch weights.
between Jimmy Handler, of Newark,
and Harry Fisher, of Brooklyn. who
boxed ten rounds.
Tim Hurst was referee. The sparring
was decidedly of the rough and tumble
order. In the second round Handler
got in n stiff left on the Jaw which
floored the Brooklynte. Fisher had his
revenge later and rushed Handler all
over the ring. forcing him on the ropes.
At the tenth round both men were
covered with blood and neither could
land the decisive blow before the bell
rang. The referee decided the bout a
draw.
The attendance had increased to
about 1000 when the stars of the even
ing came into the ring. John l.. Sui
livan occupied seat In one of the
boxes and was loudly cheered. The
seconds for Madden were Jack Barry,
John McTiernan. Dick Howell and
George Insly. Barry was looked after
by Tom O'Rourke, Professor Deforest
and Casrar Leon.
Madden cropped to the earth in the
fourth round. Thet referee seeing he
had no chance to win, stopped the bout
and declared Barry the winner. One
minue and twenty-threc seconds of the
round had elapsed.

FIGURES UPON MINING.
4 Few Items Cleaned from the Report Of
the De nartmcnf of InfcrnnI Afrnira

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 2l.--The Sta
tistics OF the mining regions, which viii
be included In the forthcoming report
OF the department of Internal affairs
are now in the hands OF the printer.
The aggregate production of coal for
1894 in the anthracite and bitumhnous
districts Of Pennsylvan Is 81, 306.3s9
tons, decrease of 5.2S5.072 tons from the
production Of 1893 This decrease was
caused partly by the business depres-
sion and partly by strike in the hi
luminous region that was In progress
from April until August. The produc-
ton OF anthracite coal was 4j,50g 179
tons as against 47.179, 563 tons in 1893.
reduction Of 1673.3s4 tons. The b-
luminous production was SO, 300 210 tons,
as against 43.421 9S9 tons In 1893 a re-
ductlon of 3.62le 179 tons. While the pro-
duction shows this great falling off. the
total number OF employees In and about
the mines has Increased. The number
employed during 1894 was 226,s72, as
7,O51
This seeming incongrulty can best
be explained by the reduced number of
days the mines were in operation dur
ing 1894. In the bituminous region,
where strike was In progress for sew
era1 months. and where the general de-
precision In all kinds of business caused
a dlminution In the coal production OF
3.621. .6SS tons as compared with 1893.
The hard times were felt to q greater
degree than In the anthracite regions.
