RAALBEC'S RUINS.
They Are the Grandest Monuments OF the
Past In the Orient.

Past In the Orient.
The ruins of Baalbec, tho ancient
metropolis Of Syria, especially those on
tho "platfornI" where the temples stood,
are the grandest III the orient. The
platform referred to above and upon
which the largest Of the famous Baalbec
temples were erected Is an artificial
mound about 30 feet higher than tho
surrounding plain, which gave room for
immense vaults under the gigantic
structures which in ancient times graced
the wonderful city of the cast "
"a good idea Of the immensely Of
these ruined temples may be gained
when 1t is known that there are several
stones In what remains Of their founda-
lions which are 05 feet long. Is feet
wide and 10 feet thick, and what is
still more remarkable some of these
giant blocks Of limestone were raised to
a height Of 30 feet from the ground.
Three temples formerly stood upon the
artificial platform-the Temple of the
Sun, the Temple Of Jupiter and tho
great circular temple. The first was 800
feet long by 100 broad and was sur
rounded by Corinthian columns Of gran
ite 10 feet high and 2 feet 0 inches in
diameter. Six only Of these immense
columns now remain standing Tho
ruins of the Temple of Jupiter stand on
q portion Of the artificial mound some
10 feet lower than that upon which
those Of tho Temple Of the Sun arc now
scattered about. Its dimensions were
originally $50 by 1870. The circular
ruin, almost az imposing as either Of
the two whose dimensions are given
above, is supposed to have been tho
chief seat of the sun worshipers Of very
ancient times. The gigantic blocks Of
stone which contributed toward forming
the graceful outlines Of this once most
famous circular temple were so scatter
ed about by the earthquakes of 1872, 975
and 1859 that its dimensions in feet
cannot be accurately given. These three
temples and the platform upon which
they were erected were once surrounded
by wall which was wonder within

formed it being 80 feet long, 10 feet

ABANDONED.

The hornets build in plaster dropping rooms,
And on the messy porch the lizard lies;
Around the chimneys slow the swallow flies,
And on the roof tho locusts snow their
blooms.
Like some sad thought that broods here, old
perfumes
Haunt the dim stairs The cautious zephyr
tries
Each gusty door, like some dead hand, then
sighs
With ghostry lips among the attic glooms.
And now heron, now a king1sher,
Fits in the willows, where the rifle seems
At each faint fall to hesitate to leap,
Fluttering the silence with drowsy stir.
Here summer seems placid face asleep
And the near world o Pigment of her dreams.

THE ZEIGLER-ABBOTT FIGHT.
The Philadelphia Pugllist Defeats the
EngliShman.
IN TWENTY WELL FOUGHT ROUNDS
From the Beginning to the End of the Con-
test the American Showed His Super
iority-zeigler Will Now be Matched
to Fight Young Critic.

BALTIMORE, Aug 20-The international
bout between Stanton Abbott, champion
lightweight of England and Owen Ziegler,
Of Philadelphia, who fought Jack Nc
Auliffe to draw, occurred last night at
the Eureka Athletic club pavilion in the
presence of 1900 spectators. Abbott
weighed 1872, while Zegler was 1917. Alb
bott looked a triie thin and overtrained,
while Ziegler's muscles stood out in
bunches and he looked to be in the best
of condition Jake Kilrain and Frank
Farley were in the Englishman's corner,
and Turkey Smith and d. l.. Bailey as
sisted Ziegler George Maatz, of Balti-
more, acted as referer.
In the first round Ziegler landed on the
face and then on the breast. The English
man got in face blow. He was very cool
while Ziegler danced around the ring and
lunged viciously.
Second Round-Ziegler got in two light
face blows and a rib roaster, and the En-
glishman fell to his knees AS he rose
Ziegler gave him a terrific righthander on
the left eye, nearly closing that optic.
Third Round-Zlegler forced the fight
ing, and after getting in a strong face
blow Abbott slipped and fell against the
ropes.
In the fourth and fifth rounds Ziegler
pounded at Abbott's stomach. Abbott
responded with light blows, but his reach
was short.
The Englishman came to the front in
the sixth round and got two strong blows
in Ziegler's face. Abbott ducked cleverly
and kept Ziegler working hard. The
fighting was sharp but uneventful until
the end of the eighth round, when the
American was fought to the ropes.
The Englishman seemed to freshen as
the fight progressed. He was slow, how
ever, and as the eleventh round opened
the American delivered what was nearly
a knock out blow before Abbott got his
hands up.
Thirteenth Round-Ziegler landed saw
agely on the nose and on the damaged
left eye in quick succession, and followed
it up with heavy body blows. The Eng
lishman again looked distressed as he
went to his corner.
Fourteenth Round - The American
played on Abbott's wind bag and got a
sumner on the neck. Abbott was gamey
and cool, but his blows were feeble.
In the fifteenth Ziegler continued play
ing on Abbott's stomach. The sixteenth
was hot round, and al in the Ameri-
cans favor. 1t closed with the English
man against the ropes amid shower Of
blows
Abbott aimed some savage blows in the
eighteenth, but fell short Ziegler deliv-
cred another sumner on the neck, and the
next moment gave the Briton terrific
face blow. The American also had the
best of the nineteenth.
The twentieth and last round was a
savage one, give and take, the English
man being stormed with face, neck and
body blows until he was against the ropes.
| AS the round ended the referee declared
Ziegler the winner. He will be matched
against Young Critic. ,-,-..- ea

patient resides on South White street, and the
operation was performed by DR.. NJ. s. Kistler.

ear, the kind of fly or when it lodged there
he does not know. On Thursday the ear
began to give him considerable trouble from
severe pains, and he consulted the doctor
Yesterday the operation was performed
successfully, and twenty live worms were
taken from his ear. The supposition is that
the fly laid the eggs which produced the
worms and caused the pains. The patient
has been greatly relieved since, and no other
trouble is anticipated.

George Chisnell Commits the Act While

George Chisnell, at one time a well-known
sprnter of this county, shot his wife yester-
day at their home in HazletOn.
Chisnell, it seems, has harbored ill-feeling
toward his step-son, Nicholas FIGHTER and on
returning home yesterday pulled out
revolver and, with the remark, Now, Mich
olas, you and l for it, fired his gun Mrs
Chisnell ran in from the kitchen and a second
shot struck her in the hip and she fell to the
floor. Her injuries are pronounced not fatal
by the attending physician.
Chisnell surrendered to the authorities last
evening and said the shooting was entirely
due to family troubles. He has been ON a
spree for several days.
Mrs. Chisnel is the mother of six children
and was a steady and thrifty housewife.
