pugilist, fought % rounds with Oscar
Gardner, THE Omaha. Kid" before the

Referee Dick Roche decided in favor Of
the champion. The decision did not
please a great many of those who wit
messed the fight.
Dixon did nearly all the leading, but
Gardner met him cleverly and counter
ed very fOrcibly nearly every time they
came together. Dixon found Gardner
very awkward opponent to get to
and many of his well meant blows fail
ed to land through the clever lodging
of the Omaha, Kid
It was one of the c1eanest and clever
est bouts ever seen in this or any 9TH
er club and if the referee had not pick
ed winner, but called the bout a draw
everyone would have been satisfied. The
attendance was 1000. The men scaled
122 pounds at o'clock in the afternoon.

work on any other road, sued for $4,000
damages for blacklisting. The common
pleas and circuit courts gave him 900
Schaffer asserts that he has not en-
gagged in any strike. The circuit court
says in it's decision:
UNLESS the applicant shall present
consent from the parties for whom he
last worked, or clearance papers show
ing that he did not engage in a certain
strike, it becomes the duty of the COM
pany or party under such agreement,
upon the discharge of an emplOye not
engaging in such strike, to furnish him
evidence or clearance papers showing
that he did not engage in such strike.
A failure to do so, whereby a man is
prevented from obtaining employment
elsewhere, constitutes an actiOnable
wrong, and compensatory damages may
be recovered; and if such consent shall
be withheld maliciOusly, exemplary
damages may be recovered"

he gave the railroad company a quit

Usage county, in return for which the
railroad company was to give him an
annual pass over its entire system and
also establish a station on the land
decided to the road by Mr.. Curry. The
pass was to be renewed each year as
long as Mr.. Curry wanted it.
The pass was issued all right for the
year 1887, but after that no pass was
forthcoming. Mr. Curry wrote for it
again and again, but it never came. At
length in 1890, he brought suit against
the railroad company for 81, 900 damages
because he had been deprived of his
passes.
The case has been fought through the
Usage county district court all these in
tervening years, but last March the
court found for the railroad company.

THE OLDEST RAILROAD.
The Abandoning of the First Rails
Over Which q Locomotive Ran.

The first railroad upon which a locomo-
tive ever ran in the United States is to be
abandoned after 20 years of service says
the Baltimore Sun. This is the old "Grav-
ity road" belonging to the Delaware and
Hudson company, extending from Car
bondale to HOnesdale, in northeastern
Pennsylvania, and crossing the Moosic
mountains between those places by SER
les of 20 inclined planes,
coal mined at Carbonate to HOnesdale
for loading there on canal boats to be
taken to New York. 1t was completed in
1923, the builder being Samuel Carpenter
Bump. at that time a resident of Balm
bridge, N. Y. but from 1856 until his death
in 1889, a resident of Baltimore, Bid. He
was builder in Baltimore and the father
of Orlando Franklin Bump, a well known
lawyer of that city.
When the road was completed the own
erS imported from England an engine
called 1.-The Sturbridge Lion built by
Robert Stephenson. HOratiO Allen acted
as engineer, but it was found the first
trip that the engine could not climb the
elevations, and since then the road has
been operated by stationary engines. It
has afforded a novel trip for thousands of
tourists.
The cause of the abandonment of the
road lies in a contract made recently by
the Delaware and Hudson company by
which its coal from Carbonate is here
after to be delivered to the Erie railroad
by another route and taken to New York
by the Erie. The change will mean a big
setback for HoneSdale.

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
s. 81 goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr.. E. z. S. Clinkenbeard, a prorni-
nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, KY,
writes:
1.-TWO years ago was a great sufferer
from Rheumatism. I had tried every
