M'PARTLAND WINS THE FIGHT.
Referee White Punches Fellow
Who Disputes His Decision.

nv A|ASRWtCS I1AB DcCiBiOhs
New York, Aug. 19.-For an hour and
forty minutes, including rests, KID Nc
Partland, of this city, and Owen zeigler,
of Philadelphia, battied In the ring of the
Lenox Athletic Club tonight, with the
result that at the end of twenty five
rounds the referee decided in favor of
Mcfarland.
1t was a just verdict, in view of the
Kids" extreme cleverness, his cleanly
delivered left-hand smashes, that cut the
Quaker's face up badly, and his superior
ring tactics.
There was some dissatisfaction on the
part of Zeigler's friends and one OF his
handlers called Referee White a vile
name, at the same time accusing him of
robbery White retaliated with clinch
and punch in the fellows face
The police grabbed Whites enemy by
the collar and ran him out of the build
ing.
The insult was uncalled for and the ref
cree could not be blamed for his action.

Washington and Great Falls r.. r..

All during this hot Summer workmen have
been busy on the line OF the Washington and
Great Falls Railway. with the result that at
present the road IS double-tracked for more than
three-fourhs OF its entire length This facilitates
travel in no small deg-ee, and absolutely assures
the safety of those who weRd their way Glen
Echoward. The mile or so over which but i
single track extends IS fitted out with ono OF the
most thorough systems Of block signals ever used
in this country. By means Of colored slides in
the daytime and electric lights al night the
gripmen of oncoming trains notified Of almost
the exact position Of cars which they TO meet.
The weight Of the vehicles on the special rails
used for that purpose makes connection that
changes the signal ahead and keeps the crew of
the first train informed. This automatic arrange
mcnt makes accident on the road extremely i'm
probable and has the effect OF adding greatly
to the pleasure of the journey TO- timid people.
