The seventh might be said to have been
Fitzsimmons, but he did no particular
damage with his punches, The eighth
saw the beginning of the end, for Fitz-
simmons never regained his balance
after that round. Jeffrics began the
round with straight left on the face
that again brought the blood out of his
opponents mouth. The Cornishman
staggered against the ropes, but came
back again for another facer. There
was fear in Fitzsimmons' corner and
Julian yelled to Fitzsimmons to be
careful. Fitzsimmons planted one of
his lefts on Jeffries' jaw and staggered

METHODS OF THE OIL TRUST.
Ohio Refiner Says Railroads Discriminate
In Favor OF the Standard Outsiders
Unable to Secure Rates.

Washington, June l0-Ex-State SEN
ator Theodore T. Davis, of Ohio, was
the first witness before the industrial
commission yesterday. He is both
producer and a refner of petroleum, To-
Gated at Marietta, and his testimony
dealt with the operations of the Stand
ard Oil trust and the Argand Oil COM
pany. He complained of the discrimina-
tons of the railroad companies, saying
that the managers of some of the roads
were interested in rival companies
which were so favored that his COM
pany had been compelled to suspend
business. This discrimination was
also practiced by the pipe lines against
producers not in the combine. Out
siders were also unable to secure fair
rates from railroads, witness averred,
forcing the conclusion that the rail
road companies were concerned for the
success of the pipe lines.
Mr.. Davis said that the Standard COM
pany had been able to come into con.
troll of most of the producing area
through cooperating companies He
declared that as retiner he had
purchased considerable oil from
the Standard company and that
1t was the custom of the
Standard company to charge up its
losses of oil by fire, leakage, etc., in
any given district to the purchasers in
that district. lie also said that the
Standard company had such close rela-
tions with the railroad com anies and
so completely controlled the markets
as to render it almost impracticable for
any rehner to enter upon the manu-
facture of lubricants.
osborne, Kan, June lU.--Joe Juy,
the l9-year-ald son of L. W. 1oy, living
seven miles south of this city, attempt
ed suicide during fit of melancholy.
He went to the barn, where he took
large dose of laudanum, and while
crazed by the drug stabbed himself be-
tween the third and fourth rib, pene-
trating the left lung and barely miss
ing the heart. He was discovered in
the hayloft, unconscious. His reeov-
arv is doubtful.

The Snow OF 81.


Richmond, Va, February is, 1899.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
AS there are various opinions as to the
snow-storm OF 1857 and the one Just past,
worth
The snow-storm of 1857 commenced on
saturday. January 18th, and continued
M late Sunday night, covering the ground
from IL 70 feet on a level, and drift
ing I'm many places from 10 10 70 feet. The
railroads were blocked for days, and in
some OF our streets there We're drifts up
TO the second story of the houses-for in
stance, on Pearl street, occupied by the
principal wholesale merchants, the snow
was up to the second stories. and tunnels
were cut from one side of the street TO
the other and at the toll Office of the
anal company on Basin Bank, between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, the snow
was from Il to - feet, and the only way
10 get in the Office was by a tunnel which
was used for weeks. There We're many
such places where tunnels had TO be cut.
The storm of 1851 differed from the one
lust over. On Monday the weather was
clear and very cold and continued so.
that the snow did not melt, but remained
TO the last OF March. Carriages, buggies,
and boxes were on runners, and the only
way OF furnishing fuel and provisions
was by this means. Sleighing was good
on our streets for six weeks or more
There was no fuel or provision panic, as
most OF our people made provision for
same during the summer months James
river and the canal were closed by ice for
six weeks. II. h. SNEAD.
