Nine Battles at Valley Junction With
CantOnians as Spectators.

A big cooking main was held at Valley
Junction Thursday afternoon and night.
About 80 Canton sports were in attendance.
The main proper was between Sherodsville
and New Philadelphia, the former having sew
eral Canton birds and being backed by Can
tonians The Canton gentry showed poor
judgment in placing their bets. The first two
fights were won by New Philadelphia. Can
ton men bet heavily on the Sherrodsville birds
and lost about all they had. They did not
have enough money, to retrieve and came back
without being ahead financially though Sher-
rodsville won majority of the battles. The
third battle was draw. Then Sherrodsville
won two battles losing the sixth after long
fight. The next three battles were won by
Canton birds in the hands of Sherrodsyille
handlers. Sherrodsville won five battles and
New Philadelphia three, one battle being
drawn. The Canton party returned this morn
ing. One Canton man missed the first two
fights and in consequence came back $40 win
npr.

CONTUMAClOUS WITNESSES
Sugar Trust Gases Not to Be- Tried Before
November.
MIR. Birney Outlines the Governments
Going to the Supreme Court.

Speaking to a Star reporter this after
noon of the approaching trial of the al
legged contumacious sugar trust witnesses,
Messrs. Mccartney, Chapman, Seymour,
Shriver, Edwards. Havemeyer and Searles,
District Attorney Birney stated that none
of the accused would be tried before No
vember. When the case of Broker Elver-
ton r. Chapman was continued last June
by Judge Cole until fall, at the request Of
the defendants counsel 1t was then
thought that the cases would be called
the latter part of next month.
Mr. Birney. however, now says that so
early a trial of the cases is hardly practi-
cable. for the reason that both criminal
courts will all of next month be occupied
in considering Jail cases-that is. cases IN
which the accused are In JAN awaiting
trial. Indeed Mr.. Birney believes that both
courts will not be able to dispose of such
cases much earlier than the middle of No
vember. And not until they ere disposed
of will other cases be called ZIP for trial.
Mr.. Birney stated that he proposes to call
up as the first of the alleged contumacious
cases that Of Broker Chapman. He. Of
course. expects to convict Mr.. Chapman,
and if he succeeds he will, as he now con-
templates call as the next cases those
against Brokers Mccartney and Seymour.
These will be followed in all probability by
those against Correspondents Edwards and
SnrlNer. the alleged HlfnlbeFS Oh the sugar
trust. Havemeyer and Searles being the
last ones to be called up for trial.
1t is expected by Mr.. Birney. of course,
that in the event of a conviction of Mr..
Chapman or of any of the remaining de-
PENDANTS the cases will be carried 20 the
Court of Appeals, and. in all probability, to
the United States Supreme Court. hut he
explained that such action on the part of
one or more of the defendants would not
cause him to- delay the trials of the other
defendants until after such appeal had
been finally disposed of by the higher
courts.

FATAL FIRE on sHIPBoARD.

Seven Persons ON an English Steamer
Lose Their Lives.
LONDON, September 1G.-F'ire broke out
on board the steamer Iona, from Edin-
burgh to London, today. The flames spread
with so much rapidity that before aid
reached the vessel six of the passengers and
the stewardess of the Iona were burned to
death.
The fire was put out after four hours
struggle.
The fire broke out when the Iona was off
Clacton, in the fore part of the vessel The
Passengers were aroused, and it was sup
posed that all had escaped from the burn
ing cabiu While the crew were busy fight
ing the flames soldiers on board assisted in
lowering the boats and in supplying pass
engers with life belts. There was no wind
and the sea was perfectly smooth.
There was, however SO much excitement
and confusion among the passengers that
the captain was unable to restore order.
Suddenly it was discovered that some
women and children were missing The
stewardess re-entered the burning cabin,
it is presumed to try to rescue those who
We're missing, and she also perished
The darkness and the volumes of smoke
issuing from the burning cabin combined
to make a terrible scene. Here there was
passenger rushing tc and fro in anguish,
seeking his wife, and there there was an
other searching for his daughter. 1t was
not until three compartments had been
burned that it became possible to enter the
cabin, where were discovered the charred
remains of six women and one child.
Then the engines of the steamer were
started up again and the vessel proceeded
ON Its way to London.
There are various rumors as to the origin
of the fire. Some Of the passengers alleged
that male passengers acted in q cowardly
manner. seekilg first their own safety, in
stead of assisting the women and children
into the boats.

ceses, and it IS generally believed that he
will select Washington. Right here an
other and very important possibility arises.
Since the discussion of the selection of a
primus bishop by the general convention
has been going on there has been feeling
among many that Washington should be
selected as the see city, and the bishop of
Washington become the primate Of the
church. Being national in his character
of administering his duties in connection
with the Episcopal Church, 1t Is but nat
ural that he Sipu1d reside at Washington,
which is the Seat of the government, and
where the Episcopal Church has already
laid the foundation Of a grand cathedral.
whose inf1uenceis expected to be the means
OF advancing itAe power Of the church for
good in every direction.
On the other hand it ia claimed that the
primate should be elected by the general
convention. This consideration leads many
clergymen in this diocese to oppose the
suggestion that Washington be made the
see city. as this diocese would be deprived
of the right of choosing its bishop.
