EvERHARDT WON THE FIGHT

New York. Jan. 16.-Jack Everhardt of
New Orleans knocked out Billy Ernst of
Brooklyn in the twelfth round at the
Broadway Athletic club tonight The
men were announced to go fifteen rounds
mt 1871 pounds. The announcer said that
if both men were on their feet Mt the end
of fifteen rounds there would be no deci-
sion rendered and that the merits of the
men would he left to the opinion of the
audience. He added that up to the end
of the fifteenth round the men would box
subject to the decision of the referee.
The first three rounds were rather tame
and caused the crowd to shout derisively.
They displayed so much discomfort that
Tom O'Rourke entered the ring and said:
This will 20 to a decision if the referee
will decide it,"
This vague statement seemed to pacify
the sports, and the fourth round went on
after two minutes interval. The fourth
round was little better than the preceding
ones, but the boxers warmed up a little
towards the end of the round and the men
were led to understand there was no purse
in sight unless they fought "for keeps"
Ernst landed hard right npper-cut on
the stomach in the early part of the fifth
round and Jack put in two haif-hook blows
on Billy's face. After this the fighting
was better. In the eighth round Ever
hardt broke Ernest's nose and after that
the southerner had the better of the mill.
In the twelfth round Evcrhardt tented
with his left and crossed his right on the
jaw. putting Ernst down in n heap. He
was unable to get up and was counted
out. Time of last round, one minute and

DEATH RATE IN HAVANA.
Public Health Statement Shows Heavy
Mortality in That City.

Washington, Jan! 1.-THE current
number of the public health statement,
issued by the Marine Hospital service,
contains Il report from Sanitary Inspector
Burgess at Havana, who says that dur
ing the week ended January Z. there
| were 306 deaths in the city, u of which
were caused by yellow fever, with up
uroximatcly 10 new cases; 1S were
caused by smallpox, with TOP new cases
approximately; 80 were caused by enteric
fever; 3 by so-called pernicious fever; 4
by paludal fever one by diphtheria; 10
by dysentcry; 1S by entcritis l by the
grip; 8 by pneumonia; 81 by tuberculosis.
Sixty of the sixty-one deaths from yellow
fever during the week were among the
Spanish soldiers in the military hospitals.
while all of the IS deaths by SMALLPOX
occurred among civilians in the different
parts of the city Yellow fever, on the
whole. rather diminishes, as might be OK
pected from the cooler weather which
has been prevailing for some time, but
smallpox increases. The vice consul
general at Port Au Prince. Havt under
date of January 1G, reports that the yell
low fever epidemic which prevailed there
has ceased its ravages.
Henry S. Camera, sanitary inspector at
Santiago de Cuba. says that 81 deaths
have been reported during the week dnd-
cd January .. of which three were from
yellow fever. The disease has abated
somewhat. but he has no doubt the fever
will again increase among the newly ar
rived soldiers.

The young Turk agitation is spreading
in the Balkan provinces. Placards post
ed on the walls of the towns denounce
the sultan in unmeasured terms. One
placard which was torn down by the po-
lice of Phlipopolis was printed in red
ink. This has created great stir and
alarm among the Turks, as it is-believed
they indicate determination to resort
to violent measures. The red ink pla'
card read:
"Sultan Hamid is known to be mad,
and our religion prescribes us to. kill ev.
cry mad dog. The young Turks. who
have hitherto abstained from bloodshed
have now decided to assume the title OF
revolutionary, and in future will use
arms against the sultan and his follow.
ers. 1t is our duty now to kill, burn and
ruin everything connected with the Yil'
diz kiosk. We shall blow it up"
The proclamation concludes with cal
upon the Turks to seek revenge, inform
ing them that the hour to strike has ar
rived, and adding:

IN A STATE OF RIOT.
The Village of Byron, Ga. the Scene
of Boodshed and Anarchy

Cincinnati, Jan. ia special to the
Commercial Tribune from Americas, Ga,
says that for over twenty-four hours the
village of Byron, in Houston county, has
been in a state of riot in which four men,
G. c. Richardson. c. l.. Batcman, @. Il.
Bateman and X. H. Baskiers were shot
and several others injured. The trouble
grew out of an election for municipal of
fees, held two weeks ago, which resulted
in tie and created two bitter factions,
charges of fraud being freely exchanged
between the leaders. A second election
was called yesterday to decide the con-
test in which every voter was brought
to the polls, not a change taking place
in the political situation, thus causing
fear of second tie, which was actually
the result. The leaders of the factions
were Charles L. Bateman and O, q,
Richardson. Unfortunately, they APP
preached the polls at the same moment,
when personal collision took place in
which shotguns were produced Their
followers made a rush home for arms,
and in q few moments the village as
sumed a warlike aspect The telegraph
operator, who was lady, abandoned her
key in terror and thus for hours the
outside world was cut off from COMMUNE
cation. The arrival of the sheriff about
dark restored comparative peace, but at
8 y. m. the trouble was renewed, and
at the ringing of the school bell the entire
population was once more in the street.
The sheriff succeeded in establishing bis
authority but the fued, now started, es-
pecialy since the election has to be held
over again, is looked upon as one to re-
suit in further bloodshed.

HOUSE FORECAST.


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE coming
week in the house is likely to be unevent-
full There are no bills of great national
importance on the house calendar which
are to be debated unless the supporters
of the Niciraguan canal subject should
succeed in persuading the committee on
rules to assign them one or more days
for the consideration of that measure.
On Tuesday, Mr. Call Of Massachusetts
will bring the Yost-Tucker election con-
test from the Tenth district of Virginia.
The committee report is in favor of Mr.
Tucker, the sitting member, who is u
democrat, and his side of the contest will
be managed by Chairman Mccall, re-
publican, while Mr.. Walker. the only
republican member from Virginia, will
handle Yost's case. One day of the week
will be given to the pensions committee
for the passage of bills, which have been
reported to the house from the Friday
night sessions.
There are two appropriation bills ready
to he acted upon, the agricultural and
Indian, one or both may be sandwiched
into some of the spare hours. They con
tain no items which are probable to give
rise to much conflict. The rest of the
week, according to present plans, will be
occupied in passing small bills which may
be called up by unanimous consent and in
the call of roll of committees for bills
reported from them.
