A NEW BUILDING.
Contract Let for the Frazee Block ON
Second Street.

w. II. FraZee today closed a contract
ing at the corner of Second street and
Grand avenue the foundation Of which
has just been finished. The improve
ment will cost Mr.. Frazee 50, 900, exclu-
sive of fixtures, and when complete he
will have the finest store building in
the city. The addition to his present
floor space at his disposal and the di-
mansions of the entire store will be
49X71 feet. The basement under the cor
ner will be commodious and well-light-
ed room and has already been rentedfor
use as a barber shop. The entrance to
the basement will be on the Grand
avenue side.
The first floor will be occupied by the
dry goods and clothing store Of Mr..
Frazee, and will nave three entrances
one on Second street, one on Grand av-
enue. and the third and main entrance
or the corner of these two streets, fac
ing to the southeast. Ample provision
has been made for the lighting of the
store room; in fact, both the Second
street and Grand avenu fronts will be
a succession of fine show windows.
The office will be located on a nice
balcony in the west end of the room,
from which a complete view OF the en-
tire store may be obtained.
The second floor will be divided into
commodius and well-lighted Office
rooms, eleven in all, eight of which
face the street. The entrance to the
upper story will be on Grand avenue,
at the west end of the building. The
block will be heated by steam, from a
furnace located in the basement.
Work on the structure will be COM
menced at once and pushed as rapidly
as possible, and Mr.. Frazee hopes to be
able to occupy his enlarged quarters
by the first of November.
Mr.. Frazee deserves much credit for
his enterprise. and it is hoped that his
action will have the effect OF restoring
confidence in the future Of Laramie
which has been, and is being, somewhat
shaken by railroad changes and ru-
mors of further reductions in the force
in this city.

filled the Office of state zoologist, has
rendered his resignation to Secretary
Edge, of the State Board of Agricul-

Media, March 1s.-The Republican
primary election throughout the county
was quiet one, and light vote was
pOlled. In many of the precincts not
more than half the Republicans came
to the polls. The election was remark
able from the fact OF so many candi-
dates running on the ticket without
opposition.
The only contests we're for members
Of the Legislature in the Eastern dis
trict, register Of wills and coroner, and
in these offices the fight was between
two candidates. From the returns re-
ceived in Media and the country dis
tricts It looks as If Prothonotary
Mathues' entire slate, Thomas II. Gar
vim for the Legislature, George S. Pat
chol for register of wills and Edward
| Fry for coroner would be nominated
Garvin and Patchol are very certain of
winning, but Fry may have a close fight
with HIS opponent, Thomas Minshall, the
present coroner.
The nomination of Garvin and Pat
/ chol is a victory for Mathues over the
/ river front faction, headed by Clayton
and Mcclure. whose slate was Edward
Taylor for the Legislature and William
IL, Hall for register OF wills and Min
shall for coroner. Robinson and Coo
per were in sympathy with Mathues
but otherwise kept hands off. Cooper

in Media, the Providence, Middletown

DALY'S GREAT FIGHT.
HE FLoORED THE LIGHTWEIGHT
CHAMPION THREE TIMES. --
REFEREE MCOY'S DECISION WAS
RECEIVED WITH HISSES-A
BRASS BAND WILL MEET DAILY
ON HIS RETURN.

At Cleveland last night Jack" Daily,
of this city, before a crowd of 1000
spectators, clearly demonstrated his
claim to the lightweight champion
ship of the world, when he fought
Champion Lavigne to a standstill in
twenty round draw.
Lavigne went into the ring at 1873
pounds, while Daily tipped the scales at
1877 pounds. Tom" Costello was Off
cial tilne-keeper, and Buck" Con-
nelly sounded the gong Daly's sec
onds were TONY Stannard, of this
city; Al. HerfOrd, of the Eureka Ath-
letic Club, of Baltimore, and Sam"
Fitzpatrick, a former trainer of La
vigne. Lavigne was looked after by
Bill" Lavigne, Charles GOff and
Tommy" Kelly. kid" Mccoy acted as
referee
The fighting was fast and clean up
to tn efourth round, when DAILY, by
hard upper cut, floored the Michigan
lad. In the same round Lavigne land
ed hard on Daly's heart, which would
put many a man out Of the game for
good, but the plucky Wilmington boy
kept hammering away at Lavigne.
In the seventh round Lavigne struck
Daily in the stomach, and the crowd
/ yelled foul" but the claim was not
allowed. Clean, fast fighting was
shown in the eighth and ninth rounds,
| and in the tenth round Daily again
lOored the 'Kid" by fearful counter
on the side of the head. On up to the
eighteenth the fighting was about even,
| The eighteenth round was fast and
| furious fighting. Davigne got in on
Daly's wind thre times, but Jack
jolted the Kids head on several oc-
casiOns. Daily had slightly the better
of the round.
HonOrs seemed even in the nine
teenth round, but in the twentieth
Daily had his man going, and Lavignt
clinched repeatedly to save himself
When "Kid" Mccoy announced his
decision as a draw, the crowd became
wild and hissed him. Cries of robbel
were hurled at Mccoy, and finally The
| police had to restore order.
In an interview after the fight Sam
Fitzpatrick, manager of Daily, said:
DAILY was in the pink of condition
and / am satisfied that Davigne had
also trained hard. At first George kick

to allow the championship clause Il
be inserted in the articles. Last st
