Suffolk Football Gamo Anniversary
Reception Kailroad Change.

Suffolk. Va, Nov. 24.-This was an
other big day for peanut receipts. but
the total number of bags which came
in are hardly as many as last Satur-
days receipts. The demand is still less
than the supply. Despite many reports
about the crop being so short, there
are plenty of peanuts in the country
and this years product, taken with
those left over from last season, will
bring up the crop to an average one,
still not as big as last years, for that
was abnormally large.
One very noticeable thing about pea
nuts this year Is the small difference
between the price of bunch and run
ming nuts. That is because the latter
average much larger than usual. The
factories, by screening the running
peanuts this year. get from 80 to 40 per
cent. of the jumbo or highest priced
factory goods.

johnson couldn't afford to pay.

NO MORE TROOPS FOR CHINA.
All Those Under Orders Will Re
Sent to Manila.


Washington, Aug. 25.-The important
development in the Chinese situation
yesterday was the decision of the gov
eminent not to send any more troops
to China. All the troops now at sea,
amounting to, about 1000, together
with those under orders for service in
the far East which have not sailed,
amounting to about 1000 more, will be
sent to Manila. Secretary Root said
that no more troops were being sent
to China because they were not needed.
1t was stated at the department that
the encouraging condition in China
was the main reason why the orders
of yesterday regarding the troops were
issued.
A dispatch was received from Gen.
Chaffee yesterday, dated Picking, Aug.
is, which was not in response to the
request sent him a few days ago to
report the conditions and require
ments Gen. Chaffee did not report
further fighting in Peking, and for
that reason the Washington officials
feel assured that hostile demonstra-
tions in the Chinese capital have
ceased. The dispatch related largely
to transportation conditions, and
stated that the railroad between Taku
and Picking could not be used at the
present time as portions Of it had been
destroyed by the Chinese

New York, Aug. 26. - Whipped into
insensibility in less than two rounds
is the story in brief of Tom Sharkey's
meeting with Bob Fitzsimmons at the
Coney Island Sporting club last night.
When the men came together Sharkey
assumed the aggressive, rushing fierce
ly and swinging wildly. Fttzsimmons
had no difficulty in side-stepping out
of the way. Bob soon began feinting
Sharkey into leads, and when the sail
or tried his round-arm blows he left
himself open, of which Fitzstmmons
was quick to take advantage as he
stepped inside and put powerful right
and left smashes on the sailors body
and neck
He Stabbed Shnrl<ey
with his left, making the sailor lose
his temper, then Sharkey rushed more
wildly than before, missing most Of
the swings, while Fitzsimmons was
getting to him with great force and
using both hands. At the close of the
round Sharkey, with a terrific left
swing landed on the shoulder and neck,
put Fitzsimmons down to the floor of
the ring and then fell over him in his
mad rush. Tom regaincd his feet
simmons still on the floor The spscta-
tors were cheering like wild men, and
when Fftz got to his feet the men
shaped to go for each other, evidently
not having heard the bell
Amid the Uproar.
The referee rushed between them,
sending them to their corners, and this
is where Sharkey says he would have
finished Fitz had he had ten seconds
more. In the second round Sharkey,
having gained confidence from his
knocking Fitz down in the preceding
round, went after his man as If to an
initiate him, but Fitz, having the
cooler head and better Judgment, out
generated the younger man. who
seemed to lose all control of himself
in his frantic endeavors to land on
Fitz. Fitz stepped in with a crushing
right to the body and ready left to
the jaw, While the best Sharkey could
do was to
Swing n Left
which landed in the middle of Fitz-
simmons hack. There was fearful
force behind this blow. as F'itz said
after the fight was over that he felt
as if he had been hit with a pickax in
the small of the back. Fits GOODNESS
never forsook him, and he watched
Sharkey's wild efforts with evident
satisfaction as the sailor was leaving
himself very open. Fitz stepped into
him and literally battered Sharkey
down with right on the body and with
lefts and rights on the head. Sharkey
took the count and came up groggy.
He staggered back to the ropes with
Fftz Hot After Him.
Sharkey was then unable to protect
himself and Fitz sent that fearful right
once more to the body, following up
with right and left to the body.
Sharkey wabbled,. but still had
strength enough to keep on his feet.
Fitz stepped in again with another
right on the body, following twice with
rights and lefts on the head and fin
ished his work and the fight with
singing left hook on the jaw, which
sent Sharkey down and out It was a
short but hard fight in which Fitz
proved his superiority. About 5000
people saw the bout.

Order Restored at Akron After .
Nigllt Of Terror.


Night Of Terror.
Akron, Ohio, Aug. Is. ~ When day
dawned in Akron Thursday morning 1t
revealed scene Of desplation and the
evidence Of violence and lawlessness
unparalleled in the history Of this city.
The rioters had done their awful work
and disappeared. One child was lying
cold in death and nearly q score OF
people were suffering from the wounds
Of pistol balls, buckshot and missiles.
The city building was a heap OF
smouldering ruins and beside 1t
steamed the watersoaked ashes OF
Columbia hall. The police force of the
city was disorganized and scattered.
Electric wires, deadly to the touch.
lay across the streets in the vicinity
of the burned buildings and debris OF
all kinds was
Scattered Far aud Near.
The downtown streets were just as
the mob left them, and although moth
ing was being done by the rioters,
crowds of spectators. hundreds in
number, hung around waiting for
something to turn up. At o'clock the
crowds began to increase as the Curl
GUS spectators hurried to the scene of
the trouble. A policeman appeared,
and then another, timid at first, but
with increasing assurance as no vio-
lence was offered. Then Company G
OF Canton, a detachment of the gallant
Eighth Ohio regiment, marched down
the street from the train and halted
before the ruins of the building, was
at once set to patroling the fire lines.
There was no illwill or disquiet on the
part of the crowd at the lines. There
was
No Talk of Violence.
The turbulent element had skunk away
with the coming of daylight and order
was once more fully restored after an
awful night of terror and anarchy. 1t
was $3.50 when the soldiers arrived un-
der command of Capt. A. Fischer.
They were met at the Valley depot by
Mayor Young and party of city Of
ficials. They were marched immedi-
ately to the scene of Wednesday
nights rioting. AS the troops marched
up the main thoroughfare, Kisses and
groans were heard. The lawlsss ele.
ment which figured so prominently in
the rioting was still in evidence, al
though no open resistance to the
troops was shown. On the advice of
friends Mayor Wound sought his office
by back streets and alleyways, as it
was feared that his presence so early
after the rioting would cause a fresh
outbreak. At 900 nine companies of
the Fourth regiment arrived in the
city and
Marched to the Scene
of Wednesday nights rioting. Shortly
before 10 o'clock Mayor Young issued
proclamation closing every saloon in
Akron until further orders The may
or is taking every possible precautian
to prevent renewal of the outbreaks.
If the situation demands more drastic
measures the mayor states that the
city will be put under martial law.
In the Akron riot history again re-
peated itself-the innocent ones were
those to suffer. While the guilty ones
were practically uninjured. One killed,
one fatally injured and twenty per-
sons more or less injured is the result
Of the mob's work. The arrival of
troops on the scene had a salutary eff
feet on those who would have de-
lighted in renewing the rioting.
