JUDGE-MURPHY MATCH.
Northeastern Pennsylvania Lightweight
Is Going Out Of His Class to Make
q Fifteen.Round Match.

James Judge. the champion light
weight of Northeastern Pennsylvania,
and Patrick Murphy the welterweight
and instructor of the South Side Ath-
letiC club, are to be matched to box
fifteen rounds for purse of $3.50. The
bout will take place in this city in
about two weeks.
While Judge is by far the more clev-
er of the two, he is showing poor
judgment in pitting his agility and
science against the fifteen pounds
heavier weight that Murphy can bring
into the ring. Murphy is one of the
stiffest of hard punchers at even his
own weight and is much better than
the average boxer one sees i'm local eX-
hibitions. SO with these qualifications
II is an even thing that he gets the
decision.
If Judge Is determined to go out of
his class to fight his way up the pugil-
istc ladder he ought to stipulate in
his articles with Murphy that the lat
ter shall not weigh over $50 pounds
and that he, Judge, shall enter the ring
at catchweight. His friends, which
are legion in and about Scranton, would
much prefer to see him idle and ready
to whip the best man in his class rath-
er than risking n punch from a man
like Murphy, and the short nap that
would follow such "A blow.
The affair is being arranged by COM
petent representatives of the two fight
Crs and it ought to be a good go.

John Ennis, Evidently Insane, Tries
to Wreck Train

Lewistowr, May Am attempt was
made to wreck a Pennsylvania Rail-
road train at Mattawana, this county,
this morning, that resulted in one car
being derailed. Fortunately no one
was injured.

man, probably aged "a years and evil
IDENTIFY insane, named John Ennis, who
claims to hail from Stonlngton, Conn.
Ennis placed a lot Of ballast on the
track in such a manner that when a
train struck ii one of the cars was de-
rallied. The young fellow was seen by
the track watchman, who followed him
westward to Ryde, about six miles dis
tant. where he deliberately walked into
the Juniata river, rand where the watch
man and track foreman arrested him.
Ennis does not look like an insane
man. He is of medium height, has red
hair and a fair complexion and weighs
probably 10 pounds.

BICYCLE PROVERBS.

A bicycle can do almost anything save
climb a tree.
A drop of oil in time may save many
gallon of perspration.
1t shall be said of all bicycles that their
way IS the way Of the crank
1t cannot be said of bicycle rider that
he begins the way he should go.
IL is a wise Cyclometer tHat can show it's
master an extraordinary days run.
As the handle bar Is bent, so shall the
spinal column Of the rider be inclined
A soft answer turneth away wrath, but
a soft tire tilleth man with evil thoughts
The man who looketh behind him in a
crowded path would better be a pillar OF
salt.
The rider who pursueth his way with his
head bowed runneth to his own destruc-
tion.
As the spoke is bent, so shall the path of
the bicycle devlate from the straight and
narrow way.
The oil cup that goes too long uncovered
Will become possessed of as much grit as
the rider Of the bicycle thereof,
1t is not meet that bicyclsts should gre Il
each other with clasping of hand. Rather
let them pay formal, distant greeting.

PRISONERS NEAR FREEDOM.
Turnkey Heard Them Working and
Gave the Alarm.

Chambersburg, May 9.-George Toms
and George Ellicott, confined in Jail
for burglary, attempted to break Jail
last night.
About 1 o'clock this morning Turnkey
Brough was attracted by a peculiar
noise in the lower tier of cells. He
awakened Sheriff Greenawalt and the
two made an investigation
The two men were confined in the
same cell They had cut a hole
through the floor and had sawed in two
and removed an iron girder a foot
thick. This gave them access to the
cellar.
Toms had crawled through with a
bundle of clothes, but the hole was too
small for Ellicott to make his escape.
When the men found they were dis
covered Toms returned to his cell.
Toms is under sentence to the peni-
tentiary for three years, and will be
removed there next week. Ellicott
had not been sentenced. The saw used
was one for cutting iron and the sher-
iff cannot imagine how they procured
it, as he had kept a strict watch over
the men.

tube works at McKeesport, where sew
eral thousand men are employed.
Recently the puddlers at his mill
were reduced from $3.50 to 81 a ton.
About one hundred of the men struck.
The company has always paid scale
wages, but has not recognized the
Amalgamated association.
The latter will hold Its annual con-
vention at Detroit in two weeks. There
is talk of demanding an increase in
pudding from the present rate, $3.50
a ton to IS among the puddler of the
Mahoning and Shenango valleys.
1t is stated by well posted manufac-
turers that the wages paid now in the
iron and steel mills of the United States
are as high as the trade can afford,
i'm view of the continued season of low
and still falling prices.

ElX-StcMnrt Gnmc.

of the world Saturday night at the
end of his three nights game with
Herman f.. Stewart, of Bnghamton,
n. Y, at Hardman hall, New York
witty. On Friday night Stewart led i'm
the match by forty-five points. Ely
however, quickly made up his loss in
Saturday nights game, making 244
points to his opponents 1S2, and reach
ing the 600 limit by the time Stewart
had made 5S3 points.
Jerome Keogh, of this city, has chal-
lenged the winner. His challenge was
printed in Saturdays Sun with which
he posted 500 as a guarantee of good
faith. Keogh offers to play for $3.50
but he is willing to double or quadru-
pie the amount if Ely desires it.
The champion has Il right to dictate
the battle ground so there is little like
lihood of the match taking place in
Scranton, although Keogh will offer
every reasonable inducement to bring
Ely here.
