task defeating Hugh Fitzsimmons Of Greeupoint
last night at the Greenpoint A. G. Fully 1900
people witnessed the bouts. Joe Ward was ref

Jim Brown and Tommy McDermott, both Of
Brooklyn. were the contestants in the first bout
at lis pounds for ten rounds. McDermott
pegged away at Browns body for the first four
rounds and had his man q bit weary. In the
ffth, however. both mixed It up with q venge-
ance. McDermott grew palpably weak and the
referee interfered. Brown received the decision.
Charley McNally, OF Providence. and Jack
HanniEan. OF Pittsburg. next came together.
Ten rounds was the limit and the weight was
100 pounds. Hannigan was an easy winner.
ODonnell and Fitzsimmons shook hands at

hands. It was evident that the latter

them. He piled in blow after blow until Fit1

vicious rush. ODonnell only smiled, and. sail

simmons all around the ring in the fourth. the

NORA CURTIS KILLS HERsELE.
q Young wife who was HoneAiek Tor the
Green Hills OF Vermont.

Green Hills or Vermont
Mrs. Nora Curtis, "a years old, of 46s Dean
street, Brooklyn, committed suicide about noon
yesterday By taking carbolic acid. There is no
mystery behind the suicide, but there Is q story
pathetic enough to excite the sympathy OF any
body.
The suicide was . bride nine months ago. She
lived in Newport, W., and. It Is said. her parents
are in comfortable circumstances On Nov.
10 she was married TO John Curtis at her fathers
house. The bridegroom, born and reared in
Newport, had given up q course at the Cniyer-
sity OF Vermont, for which he had prepared,
that he might the sooner marry the girl he loved.
He had inherited a little money. and. conclud-
ing that there were greater opportunities for a
young man in New York than up among the
hills OF Vermont. he decided to come here and
find something to do. The trip from the old home
to the new was the young couples honeymoon.
It was Curtis's idea to obtain employment
as a clerk or as q private tutor. He felt that his
education had been such that he could serve
acceptably In either capacity. Mrs. Curtis grew
enthusiastic when she talked with her husband
OF their future. She was sure she could help,
should 1t be necessary, by putting TO practical
use her knowledge of music.
1t was easy for tho bride and bridegroom to
build air castles. It was another thing. they
found. to find a realization OF their hopes In the
big city where they were total strangers.
Curtis couldn't Ind work as a clerk or
as a private tutor. He. and his wife
made their home for , short time in a boarding
house across the bridge. The winter months
passed. and still the employment that the young
husband sought was not found. The wife,
though, was always hopeful and happy. she
lived for her husband, and he was devoted 10
her. their neighhors say. They were not 10 want,
for they lived economically on tho money they
brought from their Vermont home.
