loneliness of the cathedral suggested
to me the Loneliness Of primeral forest?
Oh, how sweet it would be to live for
ever in the depths of the woods; to
hear only the murmering OF leaves

Oh. how sweet it would be to feel

The killing of nine negroes last
week at Palmetto, Ca, while under
arrest, was a dreadful affair, but
when they form themselves into a
gang for the purpose of burning
property, which has been going on in
that place for sometime and nearly
the whole town wiped out by incen.
diarism, and the guilty ones are
caught and confess to their hellish
work, it looks like just fate. The
Governor is very bitter against the
mob and has offered reward for
their arrest.

MCCORMACK PROVES A QUIT TER
BIG FELLOW WHO DEFEATED
KID MCCOY oUTCLAsSED.
M'Coy Showed That His Recent
Knockout By Mccormack In Phil
adelphia Was Fluke.

New York, Sept. 27.-Before 1900 peo-
pie at the Lenox Athletic club tonight,
Kid Mccoy clearly proved that Jack
Mccormack of Philadelphia won by a
fluke a few weeks agosin Chicago, when
he knocked Mccoy out They met at
catch weights for a twenty-round go,
and Mccoy reversed matters in a very
thorough manner.
y He simply smothered the big wrestler
and made. him look like a novice. He
sent him down several times, but Nc
Cormacll was not satisfied with these
breathing spells, as he laid down sew
eral times without receiving aspunch.
He also transgressed the rules by
holding and wrestling, and was fire.
quently cautioned. He feigned being
groggy a couple of times and tried to
catch Mccoy off his guard so that he
could swing his right over. Mccoy was
not to be fooled by these wiles and
kept on the alert all the time.
He would certainly have put McCor-
mack to sleep had the big fellow stood
up and fought like a man. The spec
tators became disguised with McCor-
mack's actions and so did Referee
Charley White, who sent him to his
corner in the eighth round on account
of his dropping, and declared Mccoy
the winner.
Before the fight Mccoy was the IA
vorits at 10 to g. Even money was
wagered that the fight would not last
six rounds. After the men had entered
the ring Peter Maher challenged the
winner. Mccormack looked twice as
big as Mccoy.
