j FIFTEEN ROUND DRAW.
charley lI'Keever and Young Critic Give a
Fine Exhibition.

The second entertainment Of the Olym-
pic Athletic Club, Of Athens, Pa, last
night furnished the finest exhibition OF
scientific boxing ever seen in this State In
the 15-round contest between Charles Nc
Keever and Young Critic, Of Australia.
The contest went the full limit Of rounds,
and the decision--8 draw-was about as
fair as could possibly have been given.
There was big crowd Of spectators pres
emit and the bout was watched with Intense
interest from start to finish.
Both men were in fine condition, Critic
looking sunburned from his training by
trained little fine and he did not seem to
have the old. time force Of his blows, al.
though he appeared as speedy as ever.
Mckeever's Judgment of distance was
not as good as CRITICS and he was away
of In some Of the blows he sent after the
agile Australian. In the early part OF the
.bout--for the first five or six rounds
Critic did most of the leading and he was
all over McKeever, many Of the rallies he
made with Charley putting the latter in
the light almost of a novice.
!, About the eighth or ninth round, how.
ever, Mckeever steadled himself and went
after Critic in hot style. He used his left
with good effect on CRITICS body and ribs,
and his right on the Australians head.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds,
times, and he landed with both hands on
the head and body, but the crafty Critic
kept up good bluff and came back fast,
and mixed 1t up at lively rate.
1t was anybody's contest when the gong
gang at the end Of the fifteenth round, and
the decision a draw seemed to please all
hands.

A FREQUENT MISTAKE.
The Heart Often Blamed for Trouble 1t
Does Not Cause,

The secret of the success OF physician
Is his ability to diagnose case Ii you
don't know what ails you how can you
know what to do for it. The heart is the
pumping sta ion; 1t pumps the blood to
different parts of tho body. OF course 1t
is an important matter that this blood DO
freed from all impurities, and the heart
can't do this.
Such work falls on the kindeys; hence
the kidneys are called the filters. They
must filter out all the uric acid that forms,
together with other impurities, or their
delicate fibr0S become clogged; then comes
the trouble, backache, headache, sideache
and other aches follow; people complain
Of s1eeplessncss and lame lack without
approaching the cause. Very often the
doctor makes mistake, and saysi 1t arises
from the liver or heart, This is demon
strated by citizen in Newark. Mrs Turn

She suffered with pain in the extreme
lower portion of her back. was forced to
give up and lie In her bed most OF the
time, lost all ambition from tho continual
pains, which seemed to exist whether In
or out Of bed. She could not lie on hei
back; the urine showed deposited sedi-
meut; and came with scalding sensa
ton. She had fierce headaches. OF course
Mrs. Turnbull employed a doctor. He
thought her difficulty came from heI
heart. At any rate, right or wrong, sh'
derived very little benefit from his treat
ment.
Thun one day she wcut to Mehk's drug
store and got box of Doan'e Kidney Pllls
and began taking them This soon told
the tale of her trouble, for rapid improve
Inent followed. She was very soon cured
of her complaints and Mrs Turnbull con
tinues to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as well she may. The facts of her case as
above related, are told US she itold then

one to verify them.

NEED A NEW BRIDGE.
The Third Street Structure Trouble Is
a Brought to Thi6Result. -.

Messrs Gallagher. Mealey and White,
comprising the bridge committee Of the
Levy Court, this morning gave audience
to A. G. McCausland, who yesterday sent
to the court communication calling at.
tention to the apparent doreliction OF duty
on the part OF Bridgetenders McHugh and
Russell. the tenders at the Third street
bridge. MIR McCausland Is president of
the Wilmington and New Jersey Ferry
Company, the boats Of which line have
frequently boon delayed at the draw.
Before the committee this morning Mr..
McCausland said the trouble was the
more frequent now that the bridge Is not
operated by electricity. He did not place
Sc much responsibility on the bridgetend.
ers, knowing that they could not perform
the duty as fast as 1t might be. He thought
that dozen men should BIO kept on tho
bridge 10 order that navig alton might not
be impeded.
In replying to Mr.. MoCausland, Mr..
Gallagher, who acted as chairmant stated
that the bridge In question had caused the
court more concern than any under Its
control, and 1t was the body's object to &c
commodate every one.
b Mr.. McCausand: thought the regular
traffic should DO considered secondNrily
and backed by his remarks by the govern.
ment rules in reference to the bridges and
at the same time no took occasion to re.
mark that all needed an all round
Earring up.
Then Mr.. Moaley said that at present
there are fourteen men at work on tho
bridge, seven during the day and seven at
night, and believed they oil tried to be &C.
commodating.
Mr.. White thought 1t good idea to en-.
ploy n machinist to make thorough in.
spectioh of the bridge aud see If the gear.
ing is sufficiently strong. No one voiced
his expression, however. MIR. Gallagher
said the bridge had been built years ago
when the street railway line was not
thought of, intlmating that 1t was be.
cause Of that the trouble existed.
1t finally transplred that the gearing of
the bridge was even heavier than that Of
the Market street structure, which weighs
450 TONS or 100 more than that at Third
street. The conclusion OF the committee
was that new bridge Is needed and should
one soon be erected, there need DO no sur.
prise.
