RETURNS FROM THE FIGHT.
Big Crowds Heard Tidings Of Fistic
Battle at Central City Hotels.

The news of the Jeffries-Corbett
fight was received by special wire at
several hotels in the city last night.
In each case the places where they
were received were crowded by very
enthusiastic throng, who gave vent to
their feeling as the returns came In
in most hearty manner.
Not very heavy betting was done,
but in that which did occur Jeffries
was the favorite. AS the first rounds
came in, however and the news OF
Corbett's wonderful showing was an
nounced, the latter sprang into favor,
and the followers of the present cham
pion began to look trifle blue, while
"Pompadour jim was again hailed
as the prospective king.
The eighteenth, nineteenth and twen-
tieth rounds continued to come in with
the crowds cheering for Corbett, and
then there came like a thunderbolt
the news that in the twenty-third
round Jeffries knocked Corbett out and
remained the premier pug of the world

STRENGTHEN MONUMENT SITE
Piers Will Be Erected to Help Sup
port the Surface.

There will be meeting of the county
commissioners this morning to pass
upon the question of advertising for
bids for constructing fifteen piers in
the mine workings beneath the court
house, in the neighborhood of the point
on which the soldiers and sailors
monument is to rest. Engineer Ed
mund Bartl has made a survey, show
ing the need of the piers. and also has
prepared specifications for their con-
struction.
The point where it is proposed to
erect the monument is about in the
center of the plot lying between the
fountain and the Columbus statue, on
Washington avenue. There is a very
large and substantial pillar remaining
beneath that particular spot, and by
strengthening the roof in the sur
rounding chambers it will be made an
absolutely safe foundation.
The work on the monument is under
way, and there is a probability that ii
will be dedicated this summer.

Main avenue, was instantly killed ut

and came together.
One of the locomotives was tipped
over by the force of the collision, and
on this Eshenbaugh was the fireman.
He was pinned underneath the wreck

move the body, which was removed
to Cusick's undertaking establishment.
No one else was injured by some

in charge Of Engineers Gable and Sta
Piles. The wrecking car was hurried
ly dispatched to the scene and at an

Anna Shields, the Kansas giantess,
who was the stellar side-show attrac-
tion at Forepaugh's circus, which ap-
peared in the city Thursday, and who
suffered a broken leg Thursday night
by the platform on which she was
seated giving way, is one of the most
interesting patients at the Lackawanna
hospital. The bone has not been set
yet, and cannot be until the swelling
subsidies, but the mountain OF femin-
inc loveliness," as an energetic press
agent described the giantess, does not
appear to suffer any great pain.
Contrary to the description given by
the barker who announces the giantess
as Miss Annie Shields, she is a married
woman, the wife of Shade Shields, OF
Texas, who travels with the show, in
the dual capacity of strong man and
Rough Rider. He is feet inches
tall and weighs 275 pounds, and is Just
one inch shorter than his big wife, who
is feet inches in height and weighs
290 pounds. He Is staying in the city,
waiting for his wife's recovery.
Mrs. Shields was seen yesterday at
the hospital by Tribune man.
She was born in Germany, but came
to this country when yet child OF
three years. at which time she did not
weigh more than eighty-five pounds
with her parents, both of whom were
but ordinary-sized people.
AS she attained womanhood how
ever, she grew and she grew and she
grew.
There Is a pretty romance connected
with her story of her courtship and
wedding. She declared that no man
could gain her hand who could not
first implant a kiss on her ruby lips
The youth from all over Kansas, her
home, attempted the feat. Big husky
lads they were for the most part, but
none were Of stature sufficient to win
the prize.
AT last there appeared one day Shade
Shields, of Texas. He was one inch
shorter than the maiden fair, but this
was no particular hinderance in the
performance of the feat before him
They then Joined forces, and for the
last sixteen years have toured the
country together. with various cir
cuses and side shows
1t was necessary, yesterday to shift
Mrs. Shields bed, and it required the
entire hospital force, aided by several
patrolmen on the neighboring beats
to perform the task.
Mr.. Shields was born in Texas and
has six brothers almost as big as him

gan, the prisoner who was injured, and
was taken to the Lackewanna hospital
also, rested easily.
The FIVE other prisoners who were in
jured, are receiving treatment at the
county Jail from the Jail physician,
Dr. J. r. Saltry. Yesterday they were

system Of Chicago. reaching every part
of the great metropolis of the West.
All these trains stop directly at the
Lake Shore station in Van Buren
street, thus enabling passengers on the
Lake Shore Railway to reach almost
any part of Chicago by simply stepping
from one train to another, thus saving
the expense Of cab hire and considera-
BILE annoyance. The Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railway without
doubt offers more conveniences to it's
patrons than any other railroad be-
tween Buffalo and western cities.

LaPlume Is Without Ruler.

Just at present the borough of La
Plume is worrying along as best it can
without a burgess. William Tingley,
who was chief factotum of the munich
pality, is also station agent for the
Lackawanna railroad, and has been
transferred by the company to a sta
tion in New Jersey.
Yesterday a petition was filed with
Judge Archibald by Attorney r. H. Hol-
gate, asking for the appointment of a
burgess to fill the vacancy. 1t was
signed by n. r. Dickinson, l.. II. Hol-
gate, Harlan Howe, b. C. Powers and
S. j. Slocum. Mr.. Howe is spoken Of
as the likely appointee.

ACCUSED OF THEFT.
Joseph Marley, of Mulberry Street
Charged with Robbing a Man.

The police were yesterday notified by
a certain Rochester man. who was
visiting the city, that he was robbed
Thursday night of $125, and who ac-
cused Joseph Marley, OF Mulberry
street, in whose company he was dur
ing the night, of the theft. They had
been together most of the night in sew
eral Penn avenue saloons, and when
they were through the Rochester man
was in a very hazy condition, and
thinks his companion took advantage
of his helplessness to rob him.
Marley was arrested yesterday after
noon on Spruce street by Detective
Moir, and given hearing before Alder
man Millar In default of $500 bail he
was committed to the county Jail.

WENT TO SEE THE FIGHT.
Scranton Was Represented at Coney
Island Last Night.

A number Of Scranton sports went to
New York yesterday afternoon on the
3.33 Lackawanna train to witness the
Jeffries-Corbett fight at the Coney
Island Athletic club
Nearly all of them would have their
friends believe that they were called
to the metropolis on business, and were
anxious that The Tribune account for
their absence in that way.
The prevailing opinion among them
was that Corbett would't last ten
rounds with the boilermaker.

FEAR FOR LIEUT.. MURPHY.
Dispatches Say Two officers of His
Company Were Wounded.

Dispatches from the Philippines Of
recent date contain a notice to the
effect that i'll an encounter in the
province of Abby, April 13, between
Company f, Forty-seventh infantry
and a large body of insurgents, five
Americans were wounded, among
them two officers. This is the COM
pany commanded by First Lieutenant
Thomas p. Murphy, of this city, and
as it has only three officers, there is
fear that Lieutenant Murphy may
have been one of the two wounded
officers referred to.
There is a possibility, though. that
non-commissioned officers We're meant
and this possibility is heightened by
the fact that when a commissioned
officer is wounded the name is invar-
iably given in the dispatches.
