Onds to Spare-A Big Pugilistic
Surprise at PhiIadelphia-The
Unexpected Happened, and No

In Better Shape Than Maher.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-Pugilis-
tic history was made very rapidly at
the Arena here tonight when, in one
minute and fifty-one seconds of COM
b1ned sparring and fighting, Joe God
dard, the Barrier Champion" retired
Peter Maher with sort of pivot punch,
which was delivered so suddenly that
hardly spectator realized what had
come off.
UP to the time he received his quietus
Maher looked like a winner What few
punches had been landed were in his
favor. AS a matter of fact, Goddard
landed the punch which proved so dis
astrous to Peter while trying to escape
from one of the latters vigorous on
slaughts near the ropes. -
Goddard was in better physical con-
dition than Maher.
There was the usual fiddlng at the
opening and no end of feinting, both
men being apparently desirious Of
drawing the other into a lead. Maher
led first with his left, and fell short
Goddard also tried the same, without
effect. Goddard, however, invariably
followed up his lefts with his right to-
ward the body, which saved him from
at least one good stiff counter.
Maher f1rally landed with his left.

FOR the body and landed, but 1t did not
amount to much. and a clinch follow

Maher again took the offensive, land
ing with his left on Goddard's face.
Goddard returned with the right on the
body. Maher rushed Goddard to the
ropes. There was slight mix-up.
Suddenly Goddard. who appeared to
be breaking away, brought his right
arm around in backward movement.
The heel of his glove caught Maher
on the jaw or about the face, whether
on the jaw, where Goddard says it
did, or on the cheek bone, where Maher
says it did. will probably never be re-
Vealed. AS Maher received the punch.
he was partly tripped by Goddard,
whose right foot was covering one of
Mahers.
Peter fell face forward, striking the
floor with a great deal of force.
When Maher went down the specta-
tors thought it was only an ordinary
knock-down, but the referee tolled off
the fateful ten seconds and Maher was
still on the floor
1t was fully ten seconds beyond that
time before ne rose to his feet.

TRADE SITUATION STRONG.
There Is Nothing Disheartening in
the Outlook.

NEW YORK, May 13-Dun & Co.'S
review will say: Nothing disheartening
can be seen in the industrial situation.
except the closing Of some cotton mills,
owing to- over-production and the fall
of print cloths.
Cotton has not risen. The sales Of
wool have been only 4005, 600 pounds at
the three markets for two weeks,
against Ia, $50, 600 last year, and II 216,-
$50 in 1882, but prices are somewhat
/ more firm and there is more demand
for goods apart from the large govern
ment orders. The demand for boots
and shoes which passed all records in
recent months. has abated, and yet
many orders are coming forward and
just at the point where there is a gen.
eral change from one season to another,
the actual receipts were per cent larg
er/than last year and IL per cent larger
than in 1892, though smaller than in
other years. Leather is rising.
The output of pig iron shows prac-
tically 10 change; General expectation
of expanding demand holds prices
steady for all finished products of iron
and steel.
Money is easier since the policy of
contraction has ceased and only 81 ,700,-
COO went to the interior during the week
while the new loans of the chief banks
averaged As per cent of the total to
commercial interests, against 70 per
cent one week and Is per cent two
weeks ago, with rates much lower than

NINE TRAINS A DAY.
The Missabe 6 Northern Handling
Considerable Ore.

Nine ore trains a day are now being
run over the Duluth. Missabe & North
ern road. Each train carries between
1,25O and 1,300 tens with forty-saven
cars usually, although they" sometimes
come down with but forty-six cars.
Last season but forty-ffve cars were
hauled in a single train, but the extern
sive improvements trat have been made
since the close Of navigation last fall
have put the tracks in such splendid
condition that the increased loads are
made possible. The new ore cars are
carrying as much as thirty-two tons to
load, which is more than was cx-
pected Of them. Ore that is loaded
with steam shovels is packed better
than when loaded by hand, and more
of 1T is put in car.
When the Oliver and Biwabik mines
begin shipping, which will probably be
next week, the number of trains will
be increased until one will arrive at
the docks every hour of the day and
night, except that between and 12
T. m. trains will not be started from
the mines. Later in the season when
the shipments will increase trains Will
he run III a continuous stream, one in
sight of another as they were last July.
1t requires from ten to twelve hours
for a train to make round trip.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 13.-Henry
q. wilkins, secretary and manager
the Merchants and Manufacturers' as
sociation, of Milwaukee, today appear
ed before the meeting of the trans.
continental railway association and
made strong plea in behalf of local
business interests, against granting
d1fferentlal OF 80 per cent in less than
carloads or ever carload shipments to
the West. He was in turn followed by
a. j. Vanlandingham, representing st.
Louis, and j.. j. Waite, who spoke in
behalf Of the Chicago merchants The
question will now be thoroughly con-
sidered and voted upon by the Trans
continental Railway association. al
though no decision is expected for at
least two days.
In addition, to the opposition of the
Milwaukee, Chicago and ST. Louis mer-
chants to the SO per cent differentiaI,
a graded system Of freight rates were
asked for. AT present it costs no more
to ship certain lines of commodities
from New York to San Francisco than
from st. Louis to the Pacific city. The
claim made was that the freight rates
should be so graded that the st. Louis,
Milwaukee and Chicago merchants
would not be charged as much as the
/ New York shippers in" sending goods
to San Francisco.
