Abettors in a Brutal Contest.
 New York, June 14.-"Dick" O'Briem of Boston met Fred Long of Minne- apolis in the arena of local sporting club tonight and punished him so se- verely in the first round that the police interfered and arrested the principals and their seconds. O'Brien and Long were to have fought twenty rounds at catch weights. Long was overwhelm- ingly outclassed. O'Brien hit him whenever and wherever he pleased and chased him all around the ring. Long fought wildly and when his guard was down O'Brien sent a crashing blow to the nose and Long went down in a heap bleeding profusely and insensi- ble. It was seven minutes before he recovered consciousness.
 The men arrested were: Walter De- Baum, referee; Dick O'Brien, Fred Long, James Larkins, John Mcbride, Jimmie Grath, Jimmie Kelly, Danny Mcbride, William Schraam, Jack Sheri- dan, Edward Wallace, Tom McManus, Timothy O'Keefe, James Shaughnessy, Edward O'Brien and William O'Brien.

H0AR REPLIES TO TILLMAN.
Declares the Vague Charges Against tn,
 Honesty of Senators Infamous.

Declares the vague Charges Against the
 Honesty of Senators Infamous.
 Washington, June 14.-The senate de- bate on the sugar schedule of the tariff bill proceeded to-day with only one di- verting incident to relieve the monotony into which the discussion has elapsed. This was the sharp exchange between Mir. Hoar of Massachusetts and MT. Tillman of South Carolina, representing the two extremes of senatorial proceed ure. Mir. Tillman again referred to published charges of irregularity in connection with the sugar schedule and asserted that the senate would stand convicted before the American people if it failed to investigate the charges.
 Mr. Hoar calmly and impressively re- pelled this statement, his tone and lan- guage being calculated as rebuke. He declared that the vague charges of ir- regularity were not only preposterous, but infamous. MT. Tillfnan reiterated that senators would stand convicted by the people if they sought to hide be- hind the senatorial toga.
 MT. Allison, in charge of the bill, made a speech in defence of the sched- ule. MT Pettigrew of South Dakota, spoke at length in favor his amendment to the place on the free list articles controlled by trusts, severely arraign- ing the various large trusts. MT, Allen of Nebraska urged legal procedure against the trusts. Only one roll call occurred during the day, on Mir. Lind says amendment to place all trusts on the same basis. This was rejected, 26- 29.. MT. McEnery of Louisiana voted with the republicans in the negative and Senators Pettigrew and Mantle with the democrats in the affirmative.

that not person owning property along Ivy street appeared in behalf of the petition. Many of the persons who appeared in favor of the petition made insulting remarks; they were intoxi- cated.
 "The owners of property along the unconcreted walk did not oppear. Un- der these circumstances your commit tee thought it proper to make the rec ommendation it did. We did not be- lieve that the sidewalk should be forced upon these property owners
 Councilman Riggs-"Now that you are getting personal, talking about in suits and intoxication, I may say that Mrs. Brady who owns the land along the unconcreted part of the street said: That petition won't go through. All derman Rourke is my brother and he'll knock it out. I got this news straight
 Councilman BroWn--"As one of that committee, I say that this petition should be denied" Councilman Riggs-"I move the re- commmittal of the whole matter" The motion prevailed. When the recommendation for a sewer on Gibb street came up Council man Wrinn moved that the matter be recommitted.
 Councilman Riggs objected. He said that there is only one man and he is in the sewer contracting business that objects to this sewer. He has a small lot there which he uses as a sort of store yard. He does not intend to build on.
 Councilman Wrinn-"Mr. Chairman MT. Anthony Carroll wishes to answer the remarks of the councilman from the Ninth. I move that we give him permission"
 The motion prevailed. MT. Carroll said: Councilman Riggs has not told the truth. Only 120 feet of the 1,40O were represented at the hearing before the | sewer committee. That I claim was not a fair representation. There are others
 who are opposed to the sewer being constructed"
 Councilman Riggs-I do not know
 I simply told what I heard. I did not use your name, Mir. Carroll" | MT Carroll-''That is all right. only wanted to set you straight" The matter was recommitted to the
 committee on sewers. Councilman Shepard moved to amend Councilman Fishers motion to accept
 the report of the committee on rail,
 roads and bridges, granting the F'ail Haven and Westville Street Railway
 company permission to discontinue the
 six minute car service west of Norton
 street on Derby avenue. | Councilman Burgess seconded the
 amendment. Councilmen Clifford anG
 White opposed the motion to recommft | the resolution. Councilman Graves supported the amendment.
 l It was suggested by Councilman I Shepard that there was a chance tC swap concessions. The people in the
 Eleventh ward did not want two tracks
 on East Chapel street when only one
 car was used.
 | Councilman Porter had seen a sched-
 ule which stated that this road carried
 51 per cent of it's passengers over the
 line from which it was asked to with
 draw the cars. He favored the com.
 mittee report.
 The matter was recommitted by z
 vote of 21 to g.

HAILS1ORT AT EAST HAMPTON.
Nearly Every House and Factory in the Town Suffered From Broken Windows.

East Hampton, June 14,-One of the
 most destructive hailstorms that has
 ever occurred in this vicinity passed
 over here shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon and ragged for over fifteen
 minutes. Nearly every factory and
 house in the village had more or less windows broken and vegetation was
 ruined. w. I. Brooks is among the
 heaviest losers and he estimates that the loss to his hot houses and straw berries will exceed $500.
 Many of the hailstones gathered measured two and one-half inches in circumference Persons who were out when the storm began rapidly sought shelter while the horses not un- der cover were made frantic and there were several narrow escapes from seri-
 ous runaways. The storm covered a radius of about two miles.

SHIELDING HIS AssAILANT.
Though He is Dying, Frank M. Rittman
 Refuses to Talk.

Providence, R. l., June 14.-Frank M. Rittman, who was probably fatally wounded in a shooting affray, Satur- day night, is still in critical condition at the Rhode Island hospital and is not expected to live. Notwithstanding the assurance of the physicians that his wound is fatal, he persists in utterly refusing to give any information which could lead to the detection of his as- sailant. He does not seem to believe that he will die
 The police believe they have two clues, which may lead to the discovery of Rittman's assailant One points to a man who was wounded Saturday night, presumably by Rittman, and the other to a woman who is believed to have been present at the shooting, but who has disappeared. Search is being made for both of these suspected per sons.

TWO NOT4BLE EXCEPTIONS,
No Flags Displayed Yesterday at Arnory
 or Hillhouse High School.

Yesterday was quite generally ob- served throughout the city as flag day, the national colors being displayed at nearly every place where there was a flag staff and from many windows the starry emblem waved in remembrance of the one hundred and second anni- versary of the adoption of the stars and stripes as our national flag. In the general observance of the day in this manner there were. however, two nota- ble exceptions, probably due to over sight. No flag floated from the flag staff on the Second Regiment armory and the staff at Hillhouse nigh school was also unadorned by the beautiful colors. The day was, however com memorated in the public schools by brief exercises.

Stellar Attraction.
Usual Contests on the Streets--Greatly
Reduced Prices on all Spring and
Summer Values.

by those who have been fortunate
enough to see them as weird, wild,
grotesque and sensational in the ex-
treme, and hence prediction that
novel attraction will occur on that day,
is justified. The young men will be
given vacant room in the center of
the city for robing and disrobing for
their various acts, and while the latter
will not take very much time the Indi-
ans will entertain the crowd for an hour
or more on this line. The boys have
been travelling around of late, charg-.
ing regular admission for the privi-
lege of seeing these ghost, war, squaw
and others dances, and the people who
come to Redwood Falls on Tuesday,
asidefrom getting goods cheap, will
see an attraction we'll worth the drive.
Mr.. Baldwin announces that aside
from this attraction, there will be the
customary street races, such as bicycle
contests, foot races, etc, classes and
prizes to be fixed on the day of the
fair.
Business men are making special
prices in all classes of goods and those
who come to Redwood Falls on Tues
day for the purpose of making purch-
ases or for seeing the street attractions,
or for both. will not be disappointed.
