Probable Important Meeting of Base

A special from New York says that John
T. Brush arrived in that city yesterday,
ostensbly for The purpose of taking in the
fistic carnival, but several other mag
mates are due today, it is not unlikely that
matters of grave base ball import will be
discussed. When asked what, in his opin-
ion. would be the outcome of the present
base ball tangle, the sage of Indianapolis
shook his head and said:
Il don't know. We can't always do what
we would like to, and when some things

GREAT POULTRY AND GAME RHc,ox
Monterey, Va, Makes Fine Shaving
In ShiDments

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
MONTERREY, Va. January 8. 1899.
The closing days of the poultry and game
season bring this section of Virginia into
prominence as relates to this industry. the
shipments for the fall and winter of 1898
being far in excess of any previous wear.
as careful summary will show From
Monterey alone, a village with four stores
the shipments of dressed poultry for this
season is estimated at 900 bounds a
most remarkable showing in view of the
TACT That this Industry is in its infancy
or the game. such as bear, deer, wild t,,r-
Keys, pheasants, cartridges and rabbits II
would be impossible to make even an an.
proAlmate estimate. The shipments of
game from this point are greatly aug
mented by the smuggling of deer, turkey
ana pneasants across the West Virginia
line, where a most rigid law prohibits both
klihhg ana nandiing of same. and Monterey,
SO near the border, forms a CONVENIENT
market.

Warm milk from the COW and
G. O. TAYLOR Whiskey saved my life
more than 20 years ago. This was
the statement made in our Office
within a few months by a resident OF
that part OF Boston called the
Brighton district. Inqriring into the
reason for the statement, we learned
that the person who gave the infor
nation was 20 years OF age, and that
at so he was said to have that dread
disease, consumption. Warm new
milk and Whiskey was recommend
ed, and knowing his COW. and be-
lieving in our representations that
e.. O. TAYLOR Whistles were pure, he
found within a very brief period OF
time that what seemed a simple
remedy was really a sovereign one
A few months use of what cannot
be set down as a medicine effected a
radical cure.

fcsSiOnal commentators.

DAVID SULLIVAN KNOCKED OFT.
Defeated by the "Omaha Kid in
Seventeen Rounds.

The fight between Oscar Gardner, the
Omaha Kid" and David Sullivan of Ire
land ended disastrously for Sullivan in the
seventeenth round before the Lenox Ath-
letic Club in New York last night.
Sullivan seemed full of fight when the
seventeenth round opened, and went right
at his man. In a clinch the legs of both
boxers became entangled, and Sullivan fell
to the floor. The moment he got up Gard
ner planted two fearful right-hand swings
on David's head. and then put the Irishman
down and out with a wild left-hand swing
which landed flush on Sullivan's mouth.
All three of the blows were delivered with
in ten seconds. Sullivan had never before
been knocked out. Gardners legs were in
poor shape, but, despite Sullivans efforts
to make him use them, he refused to be
coaXed into Sprinting, and saved himself
for the supreme effort when the time ar
rived. Gardner waited frequently for Sulii-
van to go to him, and would either lead or
get inside Suilivans leads and counter
hard. These tactics puzzled Sullivan and
made him lose his temper. Sullivan was
beaten fairly and squarely. Over 6.00o per-
sons were present.
The men were billed for twenty-five
rounds at catch weights. Gardner said he
weighed 1907 pounds. and Sullivan's sec
onds said David was five pounds heavier.
After the men had donned the gloves the
betting took turn in Gardeners favor,
$2,o0o being laid on him at 100 to so.

An Accident Narrowly Averted.

An Accident Narrowly Averted.
What came very nearly being a
frightful accident occurred last
evening on West Main street at
the F. & G. G. crossing, and but
for the presence of mind of night
officer Powell, three human lives
would have been sacrificed.
Mr.. Powell was standing near
the tracks in conversation with
another gentleman, when loud
shouts attracted his attention, and
upon looking around he saw a
freight train rapidly backing down
upon lady just in the act of cross
ing the tracks. The lady, Mrs. E.
R. Kirkpatrick, was wheeling a
baby carriage and leading little
boy. 1t will be remembered that
the wind was blowing quite a gale,
and as Mrs. kirkpatrick is hard of
hearing anyway, she was not aware
of the approaching danger. The
brakeman on the car saw the i'm
minent peril of the mother and
children and made frantic effort
to warn them, at the same time Civ
ing repeated signals to the engin-
eer to stop. When the train came
to standstill the first car had
passed over the spot from which
Mr. Powell, with wonderful pres
ence of mind, had succeeded in
rescuing the now thoroughlyfright-
ened woman and children.
1t was a very narrow escape TO
say the least.
