Passersby at West Thirty-seventh street and
Ninth avenue were entertained on Monday
night by an unusual trial Of strength. Two
negroes held q butting match on the street for

Policeman McNierney Of the West Thirty
seventh street station interfered.
Tho two men. Lucas Adamson of 1923 West
Thirty-seventh street and Henry Jackson Of
Thirty-eighth street. are natives Of the West
Indies. They met each other on Monday night,
and proceeded to celebrate. AS they were
rounding up homeward they dropped into q
saloon on West Thirty-seventh street, where
they found several convivial friends.
The current of conversation drifted toward
the West Indian style Of fighting, butting.
Friends egged on Jackson, who is an undersized
man, to challenge Adamson to a bout. Tho
challenge was accepted, and each mar deposited
" with a stakeholder for a purse.
Ihe company repaired to tho sidewalk, where
three parallel chalk lines were drawn six feet
apart. Tho rules were for each man to start
from the furthest lines and bring their heads
together over the middle line. 4 referee was
selected and tho word was given.
Two Curly'haired black heads met over the
line about n second a~lterward with a resound-

The fire left her nothing but a sick child and o

KINGSTON. Jamaica, Oct. 6.-The ravaRes Of
the yellow fever epidemic here continue I'M
abated, although 1t is hoped that the recent
heavy rains may help to check it. Many new
cases and several deaths have occurred since
my last advices TO THE SUN. The serious fears
entertained that Kingston would not be the
only place visited by the plague have been
more than realized. and there Is little doubt
that the disease has broken out in other parts OF
the island. In Port Royal there have been sew.
eral grave cases among the seamen and officers
stationed there. The city of Kingston has been
Quarantined by the naval station al Port Royal
and by the military stations at Park Camp and
Newcastle.
The authorities have at last abandoned their
former ostrich.like policy. The official return
OF the ltegistrar-General for September, just
published, admits that there were five deaths
from yellow fever during the month. This re-
turn is a subject OF ridicule among medical men
here.
Among those attacked havo been Mr.. Thomas
OConncll. superintendent of the Port Antonio
branch OF the Jamaica Railway, an American.
He Is grad ually recovering. Mr.. Scnnlon, the
newly appointed United States Consular Agent
al Port Antonio, died of yellow fever this
morning and was buried two hours later. There
Is every reason to believe that The recent heavy
rains and the gradual approach OF the cold
season will do much to check the epidemic.
