Another was the base of a skull, with
the yertabrae attached 10 the larynx,
and dried-up brains The third was
part OF the pelvls, with section Of the
thigh-bone attached The doctors We're
able to distinguish these only after the
charred flesh had been scraped away.
A bunch OF black hair. corresponding TO
that OF that murdered boy. was dug from
the dirt of the cellar this morning.
From the bottom Of the stove In which
the body Is supposed to have been burn
ed. the detectives scraped a substance
which they suppose was formed by the
blood and grease from the body.
The corpse was evidently burned on
the second floor, after which the stove
pipe was removed and the unburned
portions thrown into the chlmney-flUe.
the base of which rests on the cellar
floor.
This morning the chimney was torn
away, and scarf-pin was found. II

HNOChED OUTIN ONE Round.
Walcott Took Two and Three-ouartcr
Minutes to Nanquish O'Brien.

BOSTON, MASS. Aug. 2S.-An audi
ence of $500 people witnessed the Wal
cott-O'Brien boxing match this even
ing at tine West Newson-Street Armory,
under the auspices Of the Farragut club,
which resulted in the latter's defeat IN
one round.
Joe Walcott, of Boston, is the recog-
nized liO-pound champion OF America,
and Dick O'Bren, Of Lewiston, Me-. ~
considered one of the cleverest fighters
in the same class.
This was their second fight, the first
being won BY Walcott.
OBrien had plenty of hackers about
the ringside. and from his appearance
there was a strong indication that he
would put up a great battle.
Walcott showed himself to be n better
fighter in every way. knocking his oppo-
nent down four times during the round.
and ending IT in two minutes and forty
five seconds.
Both men came 10 the centre at the
sound of the gong. OBrien lost no
time. and started for Walcott with
rush. lie landed his left lightly on the
colored mans face. That blow un-
doubtedly gave Walcott the impression
that his opponent wanted TO fight fast,
for he measured his distance. and sent
his left for OBriens jaw, landing heavily.
The blow knocked OBrien across the
ring. where he fell. When he regained
his feet. Walcott hit him a similar blow,
dazing O'Brien, and sending him again
20 the floor. The time-keeper counted
eight seconds, and then O'Brien regained
his feet but staggered about. Walcott
followed it with another left for the
jaw. Down went O'Brien for the third
time. but az the end Of nine seconds he
was on his feet. As he put UP his
guard the spectators acted like mad
men, and there was a cry to stop the
fight. Before their wish was realized.
however, Walcott planted his left I'm the
same spot, and O'Brien went into OBJ
livon for the time being. He was as
sisted to his corner, where he remained
for a few minutes, and then retired 10

clared his willingness 10 box Layigne at

a contest for the nomination.
1T is now evident that both Pennsyl-
vania and New York would be against
General Harrison, said this man. our
information is that Platt VIII never al
low New York TO cast its vote for him
We all know how quay feels towards
Harrison. and if it is true that he has
won his fight, 1t means that Harrison
could expect nothing from Pennsylva-
mia.
II think II is generally be-
lieyed that the masses Of the
Republicans of these two States are for
General Harrison. but the bosses will
control the delegations. General Harri-
son Will never allow the use of his name
in a convention in which New York
and Pennsylvania are against him. He
would have been glad TO have seen Quay
beaten, as good thing for the party"
