THE N PER CENT REBATE.

Judge Thomas, in the United States
Circuit Court, in Brooklyn, N. Y, on
the 9TH inst. decided four test cases on
the rebate question in iavor of the brew
ers. The re ate Of IL per cent on beer
stamps purchased on July a., 1897,
before the President signed the bill
cutting off the relate, was involved.
Many thousands OF dollars worth OF
stamps we're purchased on that day by
brewers in all parts Of the country, but
the commission Oner afterward decided
that the rebate would have to be re-
funded. claiming that the act went into
force on midnight between the 23rd and
74th. The fight against this decision
was taken up by the United States
Brewers Association, and this decision
scores victory for them. The Gov
ernment must refund several hundred
thousand dollars.
Brewers Of Louisville, KY, formed an
agreement to abolish "Eighths" after
October 1. The Illinois Liquor Dealers
Association at their recent meeting at
Peoria passed resolutions to request
brewers to cease filling and selling
Eighths. The Ohio Brewers Associa-
ton at their late convention called
attention to the annoyance and losses
due to Eighths and Sixths, but it. will
require some sort OF an interstate agree.
ment to secure their abolition.
Brewers OF Richmond, Va, have
combined to fight the junk dealers and
others who buy used beer bottles.
Counsel has been engaged to prosecute
any case brought to light. The brewers
OF Richmond estimate their annual loss
from this traffic in bottles at not less
than $40, 600 annually, and they have
determined to make hot and vigorous
crusade to stop the traffic. All the bot
ties are registered under State law.

The tramps on the Boston and Maine
railroad became 80 numerous that about
two weeks ago 1t was determined TO drive
them OF and the trainmen have had all
they wanted to do ut this job lately. The

trains have blind baggage vans. The

al. get aboard, and then he will dash for

upon the front platform and there remain
crouched down until the car slows up
near the next station, when he will de-
bark before the trainmen do and hide

THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS.


Following is description of the
contest by rounds:
Round One-The men went to the
center very cautiously, each with his
eye fixed upon his opponent and
circling around, watched every move
ment. For n few seconds they tented,
and then, Armstrong stepping in, tried
a high left swing tor Denny's jaw,
which, however, fell short and invited
a similar move from his opponent
which landed on his neck. Armstrong
jabbed Denny on the cheek before he
could get out of range and followed 1t
up with a pretty left-hand swing on
the neck. Denny tried low right
swing for Armstrong; ribs, which was
cleverly countered, and the California
man put In neat uppercut on Denny's
jaw in return, followed by a nasty left
swing, which, however, was neatly
blocked, and "a clinch resulted. After
the breakaway Armstrong landed twice
on his opponents face and Denny got
in a couple of hard punches in return
on his opponents neck.
Round Two-Denny landed lightly
on his antagonists neck and followed
it up with hard jab on his ribs. Arm
strong retorted with a couple of stifl
| ones on Denny's face and neck, and
| then followed general miX-up all over
the ring, during which most of the
blows fell on guard-arm and shoulder
but from which Armstrong came out
second best, having received Denny's
gloves on all sides with only an occa-
sional return on his opponent This
round was exceedingly fast.
Round Three--Armstrong tried low
swing, but Denny saw his game and
returned a heavy ticker on his wind.
Armstrong tried again and this time
landed lightly on the Australian s
neck. but the end was in sight. An
overreach by Armstrong obtained for
him regular hailstorm of blows with
both right and left, the majority of
which landed on his head and neck. He
fought hard, however, and got in sew
eral facers, but there was no power in
them. Denny got back little and let
fly strong left swing which caught
the Californian on the point" and
iloored him. In jiffy he was up and
although daZed made strong effort for
Denny's wind with left swing, but
the power was gone, for, although the
blow landed, Denny stepped up and
sent him down again with an uppercut
on the same spot. Refusing to give in,
Armstrong gamely came up in two sec
onds and received his third, and again
his fourth knock-down.
Al the call Of three seconds Denuty
Marshal Chillingworth stepped up and
forbade any further action and the
crowd rushed the ring. Armstrong lay
where he fell till twelve seconds We're
marked Off, and was then assisted to
his corner, where he was attended to
by his seconds.
