STOPPED BY THE POLICE,
Tommy Ryan and Billy Smith
Fight to Draw at Coney
Island.
The Mysterious" Is All but Out
When the Officers Break
Into the Ring.

COMFY ISLAND. N. Y, May 27.-The
one absorbing event at the Seaside Club
house tonight was the 25-round mill be-
tween Tommy Ryan and "Mysteri-
Gus" Billy Smith. Smiths seconds
were Billy Hennessy of Iowa, Jimmy
Kelly of California, Smiths brother Bob
and DickO Brien OF Boston. The We,tern
man hadJoe Choynski of Chicago, Harry
Pidgeon of Canada and Jimmy Berry in
his corner.
The men weighed in at 142 pounds.
From the start the fighting was
fast and furious. In the third
round Smiths eye was cut. Up
to tn, eighth, when Smith bled Ryan's
nose with left-hand jab, honors were
about even and neither man was badly
punijhed. In the tenth Smith landed on
Ryafs neck and knocked him down.
Smith got in several hard ones. In the
eleventh round Ryan went to the ground
agsn.
Up to the eighteenth Smith was right
after Ryan, and the Western man, though
he put up a fierce and game fight,
wis getting much the worst of it.
Ryan, however, got in many hard
nes. In the eighteenth the tide OF
iattle changed. Ryan iabbed his right on
he face and his left on the body. In a
breakaway Smith uppercut with his right
on the body. Ryan split Smiths ear with
a fearful left-hand smash. He then hit
Smith right and left and Smith turned
away and lay over the ropes.
The police interfered and the gong
sounded three times, Ryan hitting Smith
once more. Owing to an agreement be-
tween the men, which was to the effect
that if the police stopped the fight it
should be declared draw, it was SO de-

and Rodgers amused themselves by hit
ting him in the face with their fists till he
was almost unacceptable.
Yesterday morning Heaphy, with hi.
face bandaged up, appeared in Judge
Joachimsen's court and swore out war
rants for the arrest of Nolan, Fennell and
Rodgers on the charge Of battery.

CRASHED INTO THE PIER,
The Steamer Oakland Smashes a Few
More Piles at the Ferry.

=
More Piles at the Ferry.
The steamer Oakland met with another
accident on Sunday night, in which some
more of the States property was badly
damaged. On the 1915 trip from Oakland
she ran into her slip with bang which
sounded like an explosion of one of the
Berkeley powder works. The passengers
were crowded on the lower forward deck,
and the shock WAS so great that everybody
fell on top of each other.
The bow of the boat had slid under the
apron and struck the piles full tilt. The
heavy logs were torn to pieces, some of
them being broken in half while the
steamer got off with but little damage.
Captain Brown was in charge of the Oak
land at the time, and he himself brought
the boat into the slip. Just exactly how
the accident occurred could not be learned,
but it was said on board that there was
misunderstanding of the bells in the en-
gine-room.

An inquest was held yesterday in the
case of Ferdinand NJ. Lynch, who died
few days since Lynch was the line
repairer for the telephone company who
lost his life at the corner of Sixth and
Berry streets. The testimony showed
that he had been at work on certain
wires the day previously, and resumed
his operations thene1t morning. He made
the necessary connections and by some
means grasped . live wire. The shock
killed him and he dropped dead to the
ground. The jury returned a verdict OF

Descent to the Water.

GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, May 27.-Lord
Dunraven's yacht Valkyrie III was sue
cessfully launched this morning. 1t wa
learned yesterday that the yacht might le
launched on the night tide. When it wis
found that the water would be sufficiently
high it was decided that the launching
should take place at top flood.
Shortly before midnight the yard ras
lighted up brilliantly. A squad of carTtn-
tiers was ready at the ship, but there was
no cheering or excitement in the yards as
the yacht took the water. The place was
almost deserted by visitors. Besides De-
signer Watson, the workmen, three sncta-
tors on the railway and about twent on
the ferry wharf no one saw the laun,hing
of the craft of which so much is exrtcted.

Butler Back at Ben.

through the city yesterday, stopping
over during the AFTERNOON. When
asked if he had anything to say about
Senator Tillman's attack upon him in

No, sir; I believe uot. My con-
sideration for his brother, George D.
Tillman. who is a manly man, gentle
man and always strikes right out from
the shoulder, never hitting below the
belt, restraints me from saying great
many things that | could say. | have
denounced Ben Tillman to his face as
a coward, liar aud thief aod he did
not resent it. III should kick him
pow he would howl ike spaniel and
doubtless indict me for assault aud
battery. You know. you cant keep up
with constitutions liar like be ls, and
| shall leave him to enjoy all the glory
be can gain by attacking man behind
his back. wbeo be has 10 opportunity
to reply His statement, so far as, it
relates to me, is tissue of falsehoodS
from beginning to end.
Here is one specimen. He refers to
an intervsw between Gen. Gary and
Gen Ruger at Edgc6eld. 90 the day of
election Gen. Ruger was no, at Edge
fold at all and the statement is pure
fiction. He is equally at fault about
the second Republican meeting at
Edge6eld His account of what oc-
Cured is fragrant misrepresentation
of what did occur But why attempt
to follow a man who is SO utterly re-
gardless of the truth aud reckless IN
bis statements. Let him 60. "-Ths

He SAW WASHINGTON.
Edward Green, Who Claims to be
One Hundred and Ten Years
Old, Lives IN Sumter.

Edward Green, is an Old negro man who
is freouentlv seen on the streets, but it is
doubtful if any WHO see him have &C lcea
that they are looking a. man "ho has pass
ed the three score and ten milestone By forty
years. Yet this is the length OF ihe earthly
pilgrimage that Ed u ard Green claims 10 have
made He tells very clear and connected
story when questioned concerning his his
tory, and after hearing him relate it one is
inclined to credit his claim to such unusual
age.
He saws that he was born pear Charleston,
or perhaps within the city, on February Is,
1885. he was owned by Edward Linning,
ESQ whom be served years. AT Mr. Lin
ning's death the estate was divided and
Edward was sold to Lawrence Belzer, CT
Clarendon County, with whom be lived and
worked for eight years At the end of this
time Mr. Belzer sold him to Mrs. Buford, Of
Sumter, who in turn sold him to Myles
Moran, after keeping him in her service for
eight years. He remained the property Of
Mr.. Moran until the close OF the war, when
all slaves were ernancipated.
Edward relates many incidents of public
importance aud record that occurred during
his early life in Charleston, and the only
question is whether he saw what he relates or
has them second band.
One of his favorite stories is that he saw
Washington when he visited Charleston, and
says be remembers the day of the week that
Washington left the citv-Thursday, q.
oclock 10 the afternoon. The description he
gives of the personal appearance of Washing
ION does not accord With the generally ac-
cepted idea. but there are those who have de-
cIared that the accepted belief concerning
Washington physique is incorrect. Edward
Green may be right when be says that Wash
ington was not very large man, but just
about the medium size, but straight and
square shouldered.
Edward is a remarkable old negro whether
he be liO years old OF not, and be is one
more added to the list Of those who have
seen Washington. He deserves great credit
for not having laid claim TO having been
Washiogton's body servant during the Revo-
luton.
Edward Green is stepfather to Wm J. An
drews, the well known caterer of this city
his last wife whom he married after he became
the property of Mrs. Buford having been the
mother OF Andrews.

The following, in regard TO the pro-

The supervisors meeting, or road
congress, which was set for the 24th of
September, 1895, at Columbia, is post
poned until the 2nd day OF October,
1895. The postpooement Of the meet
ing is owing to Two important facts !:
First, l have been quite i'll. aod have
not sufficiently recovered, | fear, to at
tend the congress on the 24sh instant !;
second, l just received notice on yes
terday that there are two road machine
companies who desire to meet with rs
aud exhibit their machines and enter
upou contest road working before the
convention. The Western Road Ma
chine Company has challenged the
American Road Machine Company to
work before the congress. and they
have asked for an extension Of time 10
order to prepare. This will be quite an
interesting and important feature OF
the congress. I have been making an
effort to get reduced railroad ates for
