Knocked Out in the Eighteenth Round at

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28.-Joe Wal.
colt knocked out George Green in the
18th round at Woodward's pavilion
after one of the fastest fights ever seen
in San Francisco. 1t was rather one
sided, however, Walcott leading in
every round with perhaps the exception
of the second and twelfth. Green
showed none of his old time dash and
vim and seemed to be utterly at sea at
meeting and guarding against the
sturdy little colored mans rushes.
Walcott took his opponents light left
hand jabs with smiles and paid him
back with right cross-counters on the
head and jaw. Green fought against

the amount.

THE RAILROADS.

President Chauncey NJ. Depew. OF the
New York Central, and official mouth
piece for the vanderbnts in railway
matters, has spoken regarding the ches-
apeake & Ohio. There have been of late
several interesting rumors ahoat, and
the Vanderbilts have always been
toned in connection herewith. The In
tervlew with Depew 10 taken as an Off
clal statement. He says that the report
Of the operation OF the Vanderbilt in
terests along the route of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio in West Virginia has been
greatly magnitied.
The report said that the Vanderbilts
were building a spur TO the Chesapeake
e. Ohio, which would give them. a
straight line to the east with coal to'be
mined from some 100000 acres Of land
recently acquired through the agency
OF John +. McGraw. Mr.. Depew said
that the land secured was more valu-
able In timber than coal and that this
spur was to be an outlet. There was no
intention to mine coal on a tremendous
scale, and in fact there was little In II
aside from the natural expansion Of a
railroad in reach OF business.

Mayor jain Randolph Butts and City
Clerk Charles Hamilton Watkins leave
this morning at I o'clock over the Bal
timore & Ohio road for Clarksburg,
where they will attend the first v
ton of the recently organized West
Virginia Mayors Association. A large
attendance OF municipal chief execu-
tives from all parts of the state is an
tIcipated.
Mayor Butts is down on the pro-
gran1me to open the discussion with a
paper on THE Need of a State
workhouse." However, the mayor
a y he attends the meeting u%nprepared
toepeak on this subject, principally be-
cause he does not favor such a state
institution. A state workhouse would
work u~njustly to Wheeling and any
other town having Its wi workhouse,
for the reason that all OF the counties
OF the state would be taxed for It's sup
port.
Mr.. Butts will no doubt be expected
to give his views on the workhouse
system as 1t has worked in Wheeling,
and he is fully qualified, having taken
an especial interest in this institution
both as councilman and mayor.
In conversation with a reporter, the
mayor suggested that the need felt in
many parts of the state for municipal
warehouses; could be supplied by the
location OF several in different parts Of
the state. to which prisoners from
neighhorIng towns could be sent by ar
rangement with the authorities Of
towns having warehouses;. This sys-
tenn works we'll in Ohio. Cincinnati,
Dayton, GAINESVILLE, Cleveland, Toledo
and other cities have warehouses, and
to these are sent municipal prisoners
from other and smaller towns. The
mayor suggests the adoption OF such a
system in this state.

OF the Revolution held a special meet
ing in the rooms of the chamber of
commerce In this city Saturday after
noon at 4 o'clock, for the purpose OF
considering the matter of consolidation
with the national society of the Sons
of the American Revolution.
There was a large attendance Of the
Wheeling members of the organization,
but the out-of-town members were not
represented. Letters J were received
from several, some of whom favored
consolidation with the other society,
and others expressed decided senti-
mehts against amalgamatioR,
The amendment to the constitution
of the West Virginia society, changing
the annual meeting from the fifth OF
April to the twenty-second of Febru-
airy Washington's birthday was
brought up, and, under the rules OF the
body, consideration was deferred for
thirty days. A special meeting was
called for January IL, for the purpose OF
voting on the amendment.
The matter of amalgamation with
the Sons OF the American Revolution
was deferred until the next annual
meeting, which will occur February 22,
IL the Caldwell amendment passes at
the special meeting in January. AL
though there is a division Of sentiment
out In the state regarding amalgama-
tion, here in Wheeling where the great
majority OF the Sons reside, opposition
to amalgamation is unbroken ana
unanimous. insuring the defeat of the
proposition. But for the circumstances.
which render complete amalgamation of
the two societies throughout the coun-
try impossible, there would be little or
no opposition in West Virginia.
