Early last evening officers Briggs and
Bates suppressed a very loud and disa-
Tosset< on Bark street. One Of the prin-
cipals to the affair was Mary Ellen Goff.
who is the mother of a l3~-months-old
babe. Mary is at times inclined to be
very lively and last night was one of g.
liveliest occasions i'm her history. ThinL
were quiet in the Tossett mansion for =
long time after the officers named left,
but later on there was more troable there
and Mary and her child were thrownAinto
the street. They fingered there some
little time and were found at last by off,
Ger Gammell, who took them both to the
Second station. The infant was suffering
greatly from the cold nnd IL ana Mary
were taken TO the Central station.
A horse that was being led across RAN
dali squsre yesterday afternoon by a halter
around its neck became unmanagable and

at mischief.

The amusement committee of a well
known locst club in the vicinity Of Branch
avenue, having purchased a set OF box
ing gloves, arranged n program OF
bouts for last evening. The fret number
was a three round bout between Murphy
and Mclaughlin. In which the former
won after a hard contest. The next was
a five round bout between Rice and Riley;
these men were so evenly matched IL was
decided a draw. The next was a ten round
go between McCaffrey and Crossin. There
was some very hard hitting and all the
rounds were exciting. In the seventh
round Crossin landed an upper cut that
made Mccartney drop in n heap and the
latter was unable to responed to the call
for him. Ths last, and certainly one OF
the most exciting features of the evenings
sport, was the 10 round 90 between Cum
mings and Nolan. This match had been
looked Toward to with about as much
local interest as the debate between Fitz-
simmons aud Maher in another part Of the
country. The mtn were apparently even
ly matched. The first round ended with
tue time limit, bat there was lacking
any go. In the second Cummings landed
his left on Nolan's eye and received an
upper cut I'm return.
The remaining rounds were very excit-
ing, and the honors between the two
men, while not exactly easy, were even
ly divided, and the referee decided, much
TO the satisfaction Of every one, the on
test a draw. J. Ratigan was referee, w.
j. Rankin, time keeper and p. Pagan
ana j. Cannon. seconds.
