BOBBY AHEARN TALKS.
He Does Not Like the Way tn,
Match Is Arranged.


Tomorrow is the date set for the
glove contest between Fred. Ross
and Bobby Ahearn. Both have
trained earnestly, and a good con-
test is expected. There was lit
tie misunderstanding last night
between the managers of the affair
and the principals, as to who shall
select the referee. The principals
claim a word in the matter,
and would not agree to allow the
managers to select referee with.

An agreement was finally arrived
at.
Everything is all right, then,

remarked the reporter for the
LIGHT to Bobby Ahearn last night
"Well, everything is not all
right by a id sight," re-
sponded Ahearn. "I've been in the
business tod long to be worked like

"That stiff, Ross, sat back In his
chair and let me do all the talking
in making this match, and there

Ross was also seen last night,
and did not seem to be in excellent
spirits. He did not have much to
say. Later he and Ahearn were
seen together, in a heated argu-
ment. Neither of the men were
pleased with the arrangements OF
the affair.

Row at a Hanging Bee.

JASPER, Fla, Sept. Joseph
Norton, white, was hanged here
for the murder of James Denmark,
also white. 1t was intended to have
the execution private, but the
crowd broke down the enclosure
around the scaffold. Norton, In his
statement from the gallows, said
he did not kill Denmark, but that
his life had been sworn away. He
pointed out Messrs. Miles and Nc
Alpin as two men who had sworn
falsely. This caused riot. Meal
pin tried to ascend the gallows to
assault Norton, but after strug-
gle, was arrested. A novel feature
of the execution was the use OF a
white gauze veil over Norton's
face, instead OF the traditional
black cap. This was at Norton's re-
quest. Norton's crime was commit
ted the night Of Jan. 4. He and his
young wife, only two weeks a bride,
attended ball given in their hon.
or. During the ball Mrs. Norton
danced frequently with young
Denmark. Norton was jealous, aud
he struck Denmark, knocking him
down. AS Denmark arose, Norton
shot him with a pistol, which his
victim gave him to keep while he
was dancing.

raised by owners of public drays,

city carts and dog catchers' wagons

via, lady passenger left her seat
beside little girl and went out on
the platform OF the car. The
woman was seen to fall off the
train and was found considerably
bruised. She gave her name as
Mrs. Metcalf, after some hesitation.
Chief OF Police Sanford, of this
village has received a letter from
G. M. Wilcoxsen, of Seneca Falls,
asking for any information
which he could give concerning
Mrs. Metcalf. Mr.. Wilcoxsen who
is president of the Seneca Falls
savings bank, fears that the al
legged Mrs. Metcalf is Mrs. George
Kierlin, of Storm Lake, Iowa. Mrs.
Kierlin, the letter states, left home
on the knights Templar excursion
for Boston with her little girl,
Mildred. 1t was her intention to
stop at Seneca Falls on q visit.
Mr.. Wilcoxsen has received letters
every day from Mr.. Kierlin Of
Storm Lake, addressed to his wife,
in his care, but nothing has been
heard OF her. 1t Is believed that
Mrs. l.. Kierlin gave an assumed
name with the hope that by so
doing her friends and relatives
would not be alarmed.

Anfiu10niaI Oreg

WASHINGTON. August 0.-The report
of the mineral resources now being issued
by the geological survey. gives a short
account of antimony and platinum. 1t
says that antimonial ores have been
found in number of the western states,
chiefly in Arkansas, California, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada and Utah. 1t is usu-
ally found in the form OF sulphate. but
also occurs combined with iron, copper
and lead. The product of the United
States has risen from 60 tons in 1882 to
250 tons in 1894, valued at about $45. 900.
Nearly the entire supply is from Calitor-
MIA and is smelted in San Francisco. A
lesser quantity came from, Nevada. The
imports we're small in 1884, being valued
at cnly $213, 900, about two thirds of the
usual amount. The production of platin-
um is still insignificant. The results of
the examination of black sands of the
Oregon have proved disappointment,
the amount of platinum being scarcely
noticeable, although the sand contains
ST.. .55 in gold per ton.

PROF. GLEASON'S EXHIBITION
He Shows Q Remarkable Hsstery Ov

He Shows Q Remarkable Hastery Over
Horses
A large crowd was at Hazards paviI-
ION last night to witness the exhibition
of Professor Gleason, the horse tanner. 1t
is certainly an interesting entertainment,
and one that is also instructive. 81
Professor Gleason is master over
horses. and the effect that he produces
upon them would seem to be the result Of
como hypnotic influence. The entire
floor Of the pavilion had been hoored over
and spread with sawdust. Professor
Gleason fret opened his exhibition with
a short address upon the general care and
characteristics of horses. and announced
some of the feats he would accomplish
with strange animals. Professor Gleason
has patented some pridles, bits and other
harpess which he uses to obtain control
over the no rses. One Of the nrst animals
treated was big sorrel. The animal was
very fractions at first. but by the time
Professor Gleason had had him in hand,
he would stand quietly and allow the at
tendants to beat a drum and rattle tin
pans close to his ears and not stir.
One of the most interesting features of
the exhibition was the driving of span
of animals through crowd exploding
firecrackers. Professor Gleason handled
the ribbons, and finally caused the ami
mails to stand quietly and allow the at
tendants to throw the 6recrackers at their
hoofs.
The last animal brought out was the
liveliest OF any shown. A bunch CT tin
pans was tied down his back near his
hoofs. The horse careered about the
place and kicked in wild style. that
caused the audience to roar with laugh
ter. but his front legs were hobbled by
means of a rope tied to bands about his
- 4 Al 4. Il
the horse's belly end the end in Professor
Gleason's hand. By means of this the
animal was thrown upon his knees every
attempt it made to kick and plunge, and
soon was tired out. 1t was harnessed to
cart and after few trials was perfectly
dOcile.
