The crowns are not extremely high and the brims are not narrow, but are proportioned so that they make a well balanced hat. They are becoming to nearly every man. regardless of his fea- lures. You may not like the style, but We can suit you from our stock, as We have several specials that We had made for the man that has "a style of his own."

Moriarity Bests
Mcconnell,

The announcement that c. ]. Moriarity
and Edward Mcconnell would meet last
night drew about 800 people to the National
Hall on Walnut street near Ninth, last
might. The men have been trying to get
together for about two years, but did not
succeed until last night. About 300 gained
admission to the hall. 1t was very or
nerly crowd. as the police had warned the
men that II there was the least disorder
the room would be cleared. All kept quiet,
as they were expecting to see fight.
1t was announced before the men came
into the ring that Mcconnell and Moriarity
would spar ten rounds for points. It was
stated that there was no money put up on
the contest. Despite announcements the
spectators expected to see fight. After the
go there were several cries of fake" and
the majority of the spectators were dtssat2
isfed with the contest ami claimed that
every thing had been fixed before the men
came In the ring. The whole ten rounds
were very tame. Captain Chambers and a
squad of policemen were present to see that
the fighters kept within the bounds Of the
law.
In the first round the men SPARED for
points, Moriarty doing most of the lead
ing. In the second Moriarity stlll lei, but
gained little advantage. Moriarity gained
in the third. Mcconnell led in the fourth
and had things slightly his way.
The last part OF the fifth was q little
lively. both men landing several times.
Morlarity had decided advantage in the
sixth. In The seventh. eighth and ninth
the men spared for wind, neither doing
any fighting. Mcconnell landed couple
of good blows On Morlarity's stomach.
There were few light blows. but In the
last part Moriarity landed on McConnelrs
nose and drew first blood. The referee gave
the fight to Moriarity.
Preceding this there were several bouts.
James Collins and James Kelley boxed four
rounds and George Russell and Isaac An.
derson, colored, went together for six
rounds. Johnny Glynn and BILLY" Rob-
erts gave three-round exhibition. George
Fisher and James Gibbs boxed three rounds

William Purvis, Who Was Saved from Eo-
gal Hanging by Miracle.
PuRvIs, Miss, Nov. 12.-The jail hero
was broken open by mob shortly after
midnight, and William Puryis, an alleged
murderer and whitecapper, was liberated.
The crowd gathered silently, but quickly,
around the jail, overpowerod tho guards,
and a little while Inter broke into the
prison. Puryis was at once set at liberty,
and he lost no time In speeding away.
Though many persons in this section be-
heve that Puryfs should have gone to the
gallows, there is afeeling Of relief over his
escape.
Purvis was one of the whitecnps who
committed so many outrages some years
ago, and was tried for the murder of one
OF the men connected with tie whitecap-
ism, He was found guilty and sentenced
to DO banged. Upon tho day fixed for his
execution the rope was placed around his
neck and the trap sprung, but he slipped
through and fell to tho ground. The peo-
pie believed 1t q miracle, and would not
let the sheriff proceed with the hanging.
The case was taken to tho supreme court,
and that body affirmed the verdict of the
jury. Ho was condemned to bo hanged
on Dec, 10. 1t was thought that the gov
ernor would commute his sentence, but
bis escape probably puts IN end to further
proceedings.
