BOXING SHOW.
Twenty Round Bout Between Owen
 Zeigler and Matty Matthews.

New York, January 1.-The Greenwood Athletic club of Brooklyn held a boxing show which began at o'clock this after noon and the house was uncomfortably crowded The star event was a twenty round bout at catchweights between Owen Zeigler, of Philadelphia, and Matty Mat thews of this city, both welterweights, with good records. They fought the twenty rounds hard and fast, each displaying a great deal of science and good judgment. From the opening round neither let his op- ponent have an idle moment, and before five rounds had been gonne through each mans face was well marked up. For fif- teen rounds Matthews had a slight lead, and although Zeigler did most of the lead- ing, Matty's counters on the wind were very effective. Zeigler got home some swung both hands to the head stopping Matthews Matthews, however, always had a left uppercut or a swing ready when Zeigler came within reach, and the latter must have been in grand shape to withstand such hard punishment on the stomach
 Toward the close of the fight, Zeigler was the stronger but once, in the seventeenth round Matthews caught him with a left hook on the jaw which fixed the Phiadel- phian to his knees. Zeigler was very strong in the last round, but Sam Austin, the referee, could not decide on either man as a winner and declared the bout a draw The decision was a popular one.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Crop of Tobacco Caused Quarrel Which
 Ended in Death.

Columbus, O., January "A special to the Dispatch from Middletown, O., says:
 Advices have reached this city of the in- stant killing during a quarrel of Philip Kuch by John Clifford, residing three miles northwest of here, at the hamlet of Jack scarborough. The altercation arose over the division of crop of tobacco which Kuch had raised on the Clifford farm. After a heated discussion Clifford, it is claimed, stepped into shed, and, returning with a shotgun in his hands, fired at Kuch, the charge tearing away his face. The officers of Madison township were appraised of the murder and on repairing to the Clifford home they received a defy from Clifford who had barricaded himself in his house He threatened to kill anyone who might attempt to arrest him.
 Later Clifford committed suicide.

Started Over a Dog Tight

Fannie Thomas, a colored woman, was going along the street Friday, when her dog. which accompanied her, got into a fight with larger dog belonging to some white children. She picked up a rock and threw at the ehildrens dog, when one of the little girls, Vida Henderson, told her not to hit her dog. The colored woman, it seems, slapped the child, causing her nose to bleed.
 The little girl ran home and told her mother, and the latter immediately set out to follow the negro. All down through Elyton and Smithf1eld the negro went, fol- lowed closely by the indefatfgable mother who had in the meantime sent for her hus- band and a policeman. The negro wo- man then came back toward Birmingham and about Fourteenth street met her hus- band, Dick Thomas. There, it is charged he made insulting remarks to Mrs. Hender- son, who was still following the woman who struck her daughter. Finally MT. Henderson arrived with the policeman and had the two negroes arrested. Judge Fea- gin found both of them guilty and fined them accordingly. Laura Altman one of their witnesses, who on the stand denied every charge made against her friends, in the face of the strongest kind of evidence was arrested for perjury and will be tried before justice.

A Mans Curiosity This Time

George Washington, who was on trial yesterday morning, does not resemble his ilustrious namesakc either in color, yer acity or honesty. He was sent up into the room of Eddie Magnum to repair a stove, and while alone in the sacred precincts of Eddie's boudoir-Eddie is a woman-he let hs curiosity get the better of him, and fled open her trunk. The most available thing he saw therein s5.20, which the owner said he appropriate On the other hand, George avered that Eddie was down stars gambling at the time and lost heav- fly. He refused to express sympathy for her, and says she then had him arrested. Nevertheless, his crime being one of grand larceny, he was bound over to the grand jury.

ENGINEER HERO.
Lee Chalfant Heroically Saves Hun
 dreds of Lives

Columbus, O., January 2.-It is not often that it falls to the part of a stationary en- gineer to play the part of hero but that is what happened to Lee Chalfant, substi- ute engineer at Wolff Bros. shoe factory today. Though badly scalded, he leaped through binding clouds of steam, raked the fires from under the boilers and pre- vented an explosion that jeopardized the lives of 800 employees in the building.
 The regular engineer of the plant is i'll, and Chalfant was working as a substitute. This morning he noticed that there was too much water in the boiler and so opened valve to let some of 1t out. Then he went around in front to watch the gauge while the water ran into the well. He soon saw that the water was going out too fast, and that a jet of steam was escaping with great force. In trying to shut it off he was badly scalded, but in spite of the pain he thought only of the horrible conse- quences of an explosion.
 There was but one thing to do and that was done quickly. Seizing a shovel he sprang to the furnace doors and began raking out the fires. The boiler cooled down and the danger point was passed. Then Chalfant gave the alarm. He was taken to his home, where he lies in pre- carious condition, but with prospects for his recovery.

A Court of Silence

Judge Feagin had to pass judgment yess terday morning on three rather unusua types of criminals; rather, men charged with violating different sections of the city code. They were white deaf mutes all of them, and one brought up a fourth "dum- my as a witness. It was very quiet trial At first the judge couldn't help speaking to the men, asking them what they had to say for themselves, although he knew per- fectly well that they were deaf and dumb; he spoke through force of habit Finally, however, the judge called them up to his side and the examination was carried on by means of pencil and papers. The men all responded, or rather wrote their answers promptly. This was such a tedious process that all the details of the cases were not brought out but in substance they are as follows:
 Fred Heyman and Frank J. Merath, both of Memphis, went to house in Second alley the other night, seeking admission but for some reason the proprietress didn't want these men of silence to enter. She couldn't make them understand, 1t seems and one of them kept kicking at the door, and it is said broke several little panes of glass, so great was their desire to gain ad- mission.
 Finally the madame got mad, and stick ing her head out of window, whistled for policeman, and when those upholders of law and order arrived, she had her persist ent callers arrested. The landlady was sick yesterday morning and could not come to court, consequently her reason for not re- ceving her dummy guests is no, definitely known. The surmise is that woman-like she asked, Who's that?" and receiving no answer, kept the door locked. The callers, thinking their gentle taps had not been heard, proceeded to knock with their feet
 On the trial yesterday ,af,er deal of writ ing, the fact was established that Heyman had only been standing by waiting for his companion to finish kicking the door, con- sequently he was released Merath was fined s3.
 The fourth mute, who was one of Officer Culpepper's proteges, turned out to be J. G. Wells, of Indiana. Wells celebrated the advent of the new year too enthusiastically and got drunk. It was not an hilarious drunk, for he couldn't "holler bit, but he was too drunk to keep his equilibrium So he was run in" When the judge inquired his occupation, the rather unusual vocation

or any other meridian for It's entire course, but takes a somewhat devious route through the Pacific. It is strange that it is shown on so very few maps of the world. The reasons why a crooked course was given to it and why it was placed in the Pacific are interesting and easily under- stood
 Suppose the Date Line had been run through our country on the meridian of Chicago. In that case when 1t was Mon- day in New York, Cleveland and Indianap- oils it would be Tuesday all the way from Chicago to San Francisco and out on the Pacific. Of course that would be a seri- ous business inconvenience. It is evident that the Date Line should not pass through any continents. It is practically a neces- sity that such line had to be fixed some- where, but it obviously had to run through an ocean.
 It should not pass through the Atlantic ocean, because in that case when it was Monday in London, Paris and Hamburg it would be Tuesday in the United States; and this would be inconvenient in regions that have such enormous interests in common and are so closely united by telegraphs and cables. The best place for the Date Line was in the Pacific ocean. If we follow the line through the Pacific wa shall ob- serve that the ideas above expressed have had due weight in marking it's course.
 Passing through the middle of Bering Strait the line suddenly turns to the south west till it reaches TO degrees east longi- tude. In this way Boring Island ard the entire Aleutian chain, all a part of North America, are kept on the American side of the line. When it Is Monday in New York it is also Monday In Attu. our most western American possession.
 Then the line sweeps eastward again and follows the 1S0th meridian far south till it reaches the neighborhood of the Fiji Islands. As this group and other islands round about belong to Great Britain and are closely united in business relations with New Zealand and Australia, the line takes wide sweep to the east so as to give them all the same calendar day. It then returns to the 1S0th meridian, which it follows to the Antarctic.
 The annexation of the Philippines. which lie sixty degrees beyond the 1S0th meridian going west, makes it incumbent on all Americans to know everything about the Date Line.
