While Boxing for Charity
at New Orleans Jack
Cummings Receives
Fatal Injuries.
FIFTEEN WRIRLWIHD ROUNDS FOUGHT
Walter Griffin, His Opponent, Ar
rested But Is Too Weak to
Be Moved to Jail.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13, 1S97.-The new
Tulane Athletic Club was opened last
night at the big benefit for INDECENT yell
low fever patients and families in the
city. An attractive programme, includ-
ing boxing bouts was arranged, and
among these was contest between
Jack Cummings and Walter Griffin. Both
are local men and both had been train
ing to fight for some time. There was
much interest in the contests and large
crowd was on hand. Professor Duffy
was the referee.
The fight was of the whirlwind order
from start to finish and both men gave
and received much punishment. Each
was very clever.
Fifteen rounds were fought, but before
the end of that time both of the fighters
were in an apparent state Of exhaustion,
and physicians and others had made eff
forts prior to the fifteenth round to bring
the battle to close.
In the fifteenth round Griffin hit Cum
minis hard punch and the later sank to
the floor, not from the effects of the blow
but from lack of vitality. He was picked
up and carried to his corner and sent to
his dressing room. He complained that
his head hurt; asked that he be laid on
lis stomach and became unconscious.
From that time he never spoke audfbiy.
Physicians were summoned and made an
examination of the man.
DIR. Bloom of the Charity Hospital said
that the mans injuries were fatal, and
that he was suffering from hemorrhage of
the brain and possibly concuSsion.
An ambulance was called and the poor
fellow was taken to the Hotel Dfeu. ,Fhe
best of attention was given him, but at
Ais A. M he died. Griffin also was so
badly punished that he was taken to his
home. Policemen were sent to watch by
Griffin's bedside.
When Cummings death was announced
Griffin was placed under arrest, but was
not able to be moved. Cummings was a
motorman and Griffin the son of q police
officer. The former had been married
but seven months. The fatal termination
of the fight may have an effect on the
scheme to revive boxing contests and may
prevent the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fight
on Monday night next.
During the forenoon Griffin had recov-
cred sufficiently to warrant his removal

The total registration for the November
election is only PISS. Last fall it was
2s,546 or 1095S more. The enormous de-
crease is due to the fact that voters
seemed to forget that they had to regis
ter in person. Another point which tend
ed to keep the registration down is that
little or no interest is being taken in
the approaching contest. The Republi-
can leaders concede the election of the
entire Democratic county ticket. AS a
result, they did not make any particular
effort to get their voters out or to see
that their names were registered.
Under instructions from Leader Davis,
Democratic precinct committeeman, on
the other hand, sent for Democratic vot-
ers and requested them to register. Many
of those who did not respond were regis

that it is the county's duty to bury all

MISS COSSIO ARRIVES.
The Cuban Heroine Reaches
New York But Has Nothing
to Say for Publication.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 1S97.-Miss Evan
gelina Cossio, commonly known as Cis-
neros. who recently escaped from Span
the Ward Line steamer Seneca, which
arrived this morning from Havana.
When seen at Quarantine Miss Cossio
asked to be excused saying anything as
she was not yet recovered from seasick-
ness, from which she had suffered dur
ing the entire passage, and which kept
her in her stateroom the whole time.
She occupied stateroom No. 9, on the
starboard side.
Her name was not entered on the pas
senger list but instead the name of Miss
Juana Sola was used. She was travel
ling under the care of a gentleman who
accompanied her from Havana. When the
Seneca reached Quarantine the towboat
]. Fred Lohman, with several newspaper
representatives and four women, went
alongside the steamer and waited until
the Health Officers inspection was over,
when they went on board and accom-
panied Miss Cossio to the city.
Miss Cisneros's escape and safe arrival
on the Seneca was a daring feat. While
she was still in prison her friends secured
a passport for one Juan Sola, and state
room No. 8 on the Seneca was held in the
same name. This was three days before
the boat sailed. On the Sunday when the
Seneca was to leave Havana detectives
watched her gangways with extra eau
ton. All day long they remained at their
post, examining the passports which
fore leaving Havana. Their vigi,,
lance would probably have prevented
the departure of Miss Cisnoros from
Cuba even after her escape from Jail,
had it not been for a little refreshment
which was served to the detectives by
friends of Miss Cisneros, who were
aboard and around the Seneca. The re-
freshment included wine. The Chief OF
Police of Havana came aboard while the
refreshment part of the plot was IN
progress, and, IT is alleged, that ne TOO
fell victim of the wileS OF the Clsneros
faction.
1t was only a few minutes before the
Seneca was ready to pull out from her
dock when slim young Fellow came run
ming across the wharf. He mad no pag-
gage, and was fashionably dressed. He
walked quickly up the gang plank. The
detectives stopped him.
my name Is Juan Sola,'' he said, and
he showed his passport.
Everything was satisfactory so Tne SEN
or was allowed to go aboard. 1t is said
that if it had not been for the wine, the
strange treble and rather curious Inquire
OF SenOr SOld might nave dttIdCtcu tie
suspicious of the Spanish detectives. But
the scheme worked successfully. Miss
Cisneross friends, when they saw that
everything was satisfactory, disembarked
and watched the ship pull slowly out un-
der the frowning Spanish gun, carrying
it's burden to safety under the Stars and
Stripes.
Miss Cisneros did not court danger any
more than was necessary, and at once
went to her cabin. And the next day,
when MORO Castle was left far behind,
she appeared on deck, transformed into
Senorita Juana Sola, alias Cosio Cis-
neros. and dressed in becoming red
