DECLARED \ DRAW.
The Bout between Erne and o'Brien
The Decision Fair.

NEW YORK. December Frank Erne,
of Buffalo. and Jack O'Brien of New
York. fought twenty-five rounds, at 1913
pounds. at the Coney Island Sporting
club tonight, and at the end OF the con-
test the referee. George Siler, Of Chicago
declared the bout a draw. This decision
was fair and Just, but it did not satisfy
n number OF persons who had picked
favorite. OBrien did a lot Of forcing and
fighting. but Erne's work was of clean
~ and more scientific character. o Brien's
blows fell with force that was not be
hind Frnes 1t was the old case OF a
clean boxer against a hurricane fighter.
0f the two O'Brien's face bore the worst
marks. Both Of his eyes were badly
damaged and his mouth and nose were
nuffed up. Ernes left eye was smashed
but this will not hurt him half as much
as the punishment received in the Dody
during the fight. OBrien invariably got
in pile-driver blows on the stomach, ribs
and kidneys. and the frequent visitations
- his fists LETT red welts on the Bunalo
lads body. ,..
O'Brien was an even-money taVolile'
obout tho fifteenth round, while before
the fight began 100 to 20 was laid against
him. 1900, .hr,o
During the fight O'Brien scored thIee
l,uock-downs, while none was recorueu
against him.

Dewey deserves the very best treat

even after his work was done and is still
sticking there. The plan to provide him

R. Harris. of r. Harris G Co.. said he
thought the scheme one of the best that

while he was absent from the city sup
posedly on a visit to a neighboring town it
was discovered that the signatures on
document filed by him with the county re-
corder, purporting to be release of
mortgage were forgeries. Publication of
the facts in the case caused many of his
patrons and their lawyers to make search
of their own accounts. The result was a
revelation. for instead of his having prac-
ticed fraud on but two occasions he had
indulged in forgery Of the wholesale kind.
Two notes and mortgages for $500 each
dated May II. 1892. and July .. 1892 re-
spectiyely, and signed by William Mat
thews, were the means Of getting leo

interest regularly, but the mortgage and
note were entirely fraudulent. The swim
die he perpetrated before departing was to
secure 500 from Philip Doerr, a careful

to be a myth. Every effort was made to
locate Hughes at the time. but without
success. Now comes the news If his

PUNISHED A SHAM SUICIDE.
Doctors Dose n Man for Pretending
He Had Taken Poison.

Binghamton, y. Y, May l3.-Miles Sal
isbury, a resident of Norwich, had tiff
with his wife and determined to play
practical joke on her. Obtaining an ounce
bottle of carbolic acid he smeared por
ticn OF the poison upon his heavy growth
of whiskers, staggered into the room
where his employer was sitting, said he
was tired OF life, had taken carbo.ic acid,
and asked that his wife be informed.
The employer called two doctors by te,o-
phone and produced a cupful of mustard
and warm water When Salisbury saw the
matter was being taken seriously he weak
ened and declared it was all a joke. This
his employer refused to believe, and aid
was called, Salisbury being held while the
mixture was poured down his throat
Then the two doctors arrived, and in vain
did the Joker sputter. kick, and protest
Fmetics were forced down his throat while
Salisbury fought like a tiger. At last
worn out with his struggles and protesta-
tions. he succumbed. and the doctors
thinking he was sinking put stomach
pump down his throat and worked 1t Wig
orously. This caused the patient to nearly
faint away and he was given heroic treat
ment to revive him
At last the doctors had time to look
into SaIisbury's mouth. and found he had
taken no poison. The physicians left in
| disgust. but it will require some time to
restore Salisbury TO his normal condition.

DEATH OF AN ABLE swINrLER.

notice in a San Jose paper, copied from
an Ohio exchange, announcing the death of
George C. Hughes of consumption at Day
ton, Ohio, on May 10, was the first infor-
nation that has been obtained OF the
whereabouts of the enterprising individual
who disappeared quietly one morning in
April. 1894, from the pretty little city of
Roses. leaving many victims of his frau
dulent manipulations, from whom he filch-
ed about 1000. Hughes was a trusted
real estate agent and notary of San Jose
before his dishonnor was discovered. Then
it was found that his method was to go
to some man with money to loan and pre-
tend that he had borrower. Later he
would return with forged notes and mort
cages, on which he would secure loans
and pocket the proceeds. Or April H. 1894.
