in the squared circle last night for the third
time, and the Washington lad wiped out his
two previous defeats and scored his first
victory over his Wilmington competitor. 1t
took eleven rounds to decide the contest, and
at its conclusion Glynn appeared to be dead
to the world. He had decidedly the best OF
the fighting up to the tenth round, and ap-
parently had Bateman at his mercy.
Soon after the opening of the tenth round
the situation changed altogether, and Glynn
suddenly collapsed without any apparent
reason, and seemed to be able to offer no de-
that Bateman showered upon his head with
right and left. He fell to the floor repeat
eddy, and was finally counted out. Mr.. Con-
roy, manager for Critic, was the referee,
and had an easy thing of it.
There were several features of the fight
at it's unexpected termination it was boldly
charged that Glynn had been paid to lie
down in the interest of those who bet
heavily on Bateman.
The preliminary fight was between Bill
Nally and Patsy O'Connor. 1t lasted only a

ing him out. Hugh Lyon challenged the
winner of the Bateman-Glynn fight.
Several impromptu scraps occurred
around the ring. In one of these Pat Raedy
knocked out Jack Daily with an unlocked

contests were given at Steubner's road
house, near Highlands Md, under the aus
pieces Of the Vendome Athletic Club. Nearly
500 persons were present.

SPORTS OF THE DAY
Dan Stuart Still Trying to Arrange
Fight.
GLYNN DEFEATED BY BATEMAN
Current Notes of Interest in the
Foot Ball Field.
BOSTON'S BOXING MATCHES

Dan A. Stuart has returned to Dallas
from Ell Paso. To an Associated Press re-
porter he said:
There is very little talking to do this
time. 1 will say, however, that I have Sc
lected a battle ground for the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons contest, and there are going
to be no more legal complications I have
hung up $4,000 purse, and If the fight Is
interfered with Corbett and Fitzsimmons
can each take $4,000 apiece and walk off
with 1t. In these hard times such an
amount Is worth riding out to Ell Paso on a
Pullman for"
Where is the battle ground located"'
THAT will not be announced said Stuart,
until the morning of the fight; but you
may say that If all who wish to see 1t will
be in Ell Paso on the morning of the fight,
which will be announced later, they may
have the opportunity without wearing the
new off their shoes"
do you believe Corbett will fght?"
He cannot do otherwise. His friends
throughout the country will not tolerate
any surrender on his part. l do not ant1c-
ipate any trouble, however in getting his
signature to the new articles of agreement.
1 have every reason to believe that the ar
engagements 1 have made will be satisfac-
tory with him. 1 leave In day or two for
New York to see him."
IF Corbett persists in his determination
to retire, will you let Maher in as an oppo-
nent to Fitzsimmons?'
1.-THE fight will be between Jim Corbett
and Bob Fitzsimmons." answered Stuart.
How about Fitzsimmons"
II have already got his signature to the
contract. There is no trouble about him."
Can he get up his side bet?"

A TRICK IN BATTLE.

The Enemy Was Lead to Make n
Charge by a Fcisned Confusion.
From the Fittsburg Dispatch.
The enemy is making some movement in
the strip of woods on our immediate front
We throw a few shells in that direction.
We notice that We are receiving fiattering
attention from the rebel batteries. Cast
iron enough to make junk man rich is
showered upon us. Two batteries now
gallop out of the woods on our front. and
commence to shell us. Bravely our men
stand to their work. The supporting cavalry
in our rear seem to be getting the worst of
it. There must be at least twenty rebel guns
playing on our six. A reserve battery of
six twelve-pounders is sent to our aid. We
sandwich them among our own and soon
their deafening roar encourages our men
to renewed effort.
The enemy's battery on our front have
ceased their fire, but those on the hill still
continue to pound US. Our glasses tell us
why the guns opposite are silent. The pick
cts of another fence are coming out of the
woods and presto, the fence is built The
p!ckets are tipped with glittering bayonets,
and as it moves forward another fence is
built in the rear, and behind the second APP
pears a third. That looks serious for us.
orders are quickly given to bring up the
canister lay it on the ground beside the
guns and cover 1t with small tarDaulins.
Lieutenants and sergeants are called up and
we instruct them to play Yankee trlck on
our foes.
The deadly fences with their glittering
tips slowly advance. Boom, BOOM thunder
our guns and we see the palings knocked
off and sometimes whole panels cut out,
but the fence is quickly repaired and on
it sweeps with terrible earnestness, appar-
emily little needing our fire. They with
in canister range they halt and give us
sharp volley from their muskets. Now
comes our Yankee trick. We are apparently
thrown into confusion our fire ceases, the
men run from their guns and the officers
and non-commissioned officers attempt 10
drive them to their posts.
The horses are brought up, and just as
we are about to attach the guns to the lin
bers the rebel yell comes from 5000 threats,
and, In the eagerness to capture us, their
splendid formation is broken and they rush
forward like mob, every man for himself.
This is just what we had planned.
Davy, the little bugler, sitting on his horse
beside us, his bugle held just in front of his
nervously twitching lips, turns his eyes to-
ward us for the word A nod is given him
and ta-ra-ra, the notes leap from his bugle,
the apparently demoralZed gunners leap to
their guns, the black monsters leap back
with the recoil from their double charges
of canister, and death and destruction are
sent sweeping into the ranks Of the over
confident mob. They don't seem to realize
the situation, their front recoils, their rear
presses forward All are thrown into con-
fusion and soon their flight takes place, leav-
ing their dead and wounded. Our Yankee
trick is successful.

of Mr. Olmstead's counsel, she was not al
lowed to state that the charges contained in
Mrs. olmstead's legal proceedings were not
true. She was allowed to state, however,
that she could not remember Mr.. Olmstead

Referring to the statement that Mrs. Ohm

Mrs. Webb. the next witness, stated that
she told her sister, Mrs. Olmstead, that she

MRS. Webb denied the statement of Mr.

OF the removal of her fathers body to the

Mrs. Olmstead that the body was to be re-

Another Class A Record.
HENRY CLAY WAS RATIFIED.
But He Remembered a Quotation that
Did just as Well.

Did just as Well.
From the Courler-Journal.
In the early twenties of this century Mr.
Clay was appointed by the legislature of
Kentucky a commissioner to Virginia to
ask of that state that commission be ap-
pointed to make a definite line. of demarca-
ton between the two states. Upon his ar
rival in Richmond ne was received with
great courtesy by its most distinguished
citizens. He said that his profession, poll
tics and affairs of government had occupied
his time So exclusively that he was aware
of knowing little Of polite literature, or the
favorite publications of the day. This
prompted him to ask an old friend whom
he knew to be literary man to select some
lines to introduce when addressing the
legislature, as a quotation expressive of bis
feelings to the state of Virginia, as his
birthplace. His friend suggested a stanza
from SCOTS Lay of the Last Minstrel"
which he highly approved and memoriZed.
The day appointed for his address found
the galleries halls and every available
space crowded with eager. expectant audi
tors, and many beautiful women in bright
attire gave brilliancy to the scene. He
held the attention of his audience with
entire success. until he came to the part
where he meant to Introduce the quotation.
Then his memory failed him. The shock
was appalling for a moment. He stood
rigid and pale before a thousand watchful
eyes, in his mind only blank, before him
a turbulent sea of upturned faces. With
a characteristic gesture he threw up his
hands to his forehead, and in his most
sonorous tones he rected the following
words:
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own, my native land!
concluding his speech amid deafening ap-
plause.
Every one present had supposed that he
was overcome by emotion, and none but
the friend who had selected the quotation
for him perceived the cause of his mo-
mentary panic.

From Hardware.
Frenchmen Of late have carried off the
palm in the line of inventive genius. They
are far ahead Of all competitors in the pro-
duction Of horseless vehicles, and their
latest is a bicycle for use on land and
water. The improvement has been patent
ed by Frenchman living in New Orleans.
1.-THE wheels are preferably of copper,
their side plates inclosing a large CEN
trail air space. The rear wheel, forming the
drive wheel, has en- its sides lateral blades
to engage the water when the bicycle is
SO used, and its felloe is toothed to enable
1t to take hold of ice when the rubber tire,
which is only designed for land use. Is re-
moved. To hold the bicycle upright when
used In water. side weights are connected
by suitable balls to the wheel axles, but
when the machine Is used on land these
weights are raised by chains which pass
through a tube depending from the frame
bars. links of the chain engaging stop or
pin to hold the weights raised. The saddle
of the machine is of a form designed to
prevent the water from splashing up
against the rider, and has at it's rear end
lateral mud and water guard.

ONE WAY TO ARRIVE IN PARIS.
A Train Dashes Through n Window
and Lands in the Street.

and Lands in the Street.
From the Engineer of London.
The accident happened at the Care Mont
parnasse, the Paris terminus of the Com
pagne de rOuest. The lower part of the
station on the street level is occupied as
restaurant, and all trains enter on the floor
above. This particular train came into the
station at half speed, smashed the buffer
posts into splinters, crossed a broad plat
form, crashed through a window and fell
into the street below. Not person in the
train was killed or even seriously injured
but a woman selling papers in the street
was killed.
The train consisted of a locomotive,
tender, postal car, three baggage cars and
eleven passenger coaches. 1t left Granville
on October 90 at S:45 am, and was due in
Paris at $3.50 PM A great deal of time
was lost on the way, and on nearing Paris
the train was twenty-five minutes late.
There were 100 passengers. On arriving at
the Rue de Chateau the speed was about
forty miles an hour
1t is asserted that when the engineer
tried to put on the brakes he found that
they would not work. He then signaled
for hand brakes. The speed dropped to
about twenty five miles an hour, and before
the hand brakes could be damned down the
train dashed into the station.

ONE WAY OF HUNTING RABBITS.
BY the Aid of Sand Crabs and Lighted
Candles.

From the Jacksonville Times.
"A. Gilbert is a good man to go hunting

all ordinary ways fall" said C. S. Beer
bower to a group of sportsmen yesterday

came pretty near starving to death. The
only thing we had to eat was crabs. Now.
crabs ale good enough for change, but
they pail on your appetite when you are
compelled to eat them as a steady diet.
One night, while in my tent thinking of
home, fireside, friends. and conjuring up
the menu of the Jacksonville free lunch
counters, Gilbert came to my tent and said:
What, weeping, old man? Don't weep.
I didn't know you were that hungry. l

have a way of catching rabbits that will
not fail. The secret was impaired to ME
by an old hunter on his deathbed. prom
fsed never to use it unless in actual want.
Gene and we will try it
"'What kind of meat are you going for?'
".Rabbits,' he answered. The rabbit,
YOU know, shares the hole of the sand
crab. Under this beach We tread on here
are thousands of rabbits snugly sleeping
in the homes of the sand crab
Yes said 1, but you can't get them
out and / almost wept with disappoint-
ment.
1.-THE only answer he gave me was the
whistlipg of a tune from an opera. Finally
Gilbert spied a sand crab He caught him
inst as the crab was about to vanish down
his hole He caught another and another.
finally he had bagged a dozen. 1 was too
weak to help him.
Then he sat down upon the beach and
sawed a tallow candle into half-inch bits.
He lighted a match, melted some of the
tallow, and liberated the crab, which ske-
de- 6dled for his hole, and into it he went.
Mr.. Gilbert spread shrimp net over the
hole. 1t got too hot down there for the
rabbit for we could smell fur scorching.
The rabbit made bolt for the open air,
and he was our meat. Altogether we
caught an even ten.
Yes, Gilbert is great man. Great

A Princess Who Drove IL Dangerous

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The heroine of romance in real life has
just died. This was Princess Victoria of
Capua, daughter of the brother of the King
of Naples. A very handsome woman of the
Amazonian type, she lived alone for many
years in her chateaus I ear Lucca, her one
hobby and object in life being the breaking
in of wild horses The peasants of the
ncigtborhood used to call her Diana. She
would drive a four-in-hand of half-broken
animals through the most rugged mountain
passes with a resolution which astonished
all who met her. Equally strange is the
story of her birth. Her mother was a beau
tiful Irish girl. who, having attracted the
love of the heir presumptive to the throne
Of Naples, accepted his hand, but refused
to live at court because his family denied
her tie privileges of her rank. So the pair
retired into obscLrity and lived on the
revenues of the princes estates. She had
only two children-the princess, whose
death is just announced, and son, who
became insane owing to hatred of women

Talk about newspaper enterprise" said
the young man with soiled cuffs and a

drive and we'll worth the telling
Our literary editor got an idea. OF
course, 1t was of no use to him; couldn't
use ideas In his department, you know. So
he gave 1t to the city editor. The idea was
a novel one, as might have been expected
from a man who spends the heft Of his
time reviewing the title page of fictional
literature. 1t was to print few chapters
OF the Bible under a scare head and with
lots of cross lines
We'll, sir. We did it, and there was never
probably such an excitement among our
readers. 1t was brand new to nineteen
twentieths of them, and the way they be-

they Dragged about the Starters enter
prise was caution, 1 can tell you. Why
sir, we sold more than 100000 copies of

wholly unable to meet the demand
