HA WKTNS-ELAH HERTY FIGHT.
Declared Draw nt the End of the Twentieth Round.

Hartford, Conn.,. Jan. 25.-Dal Haw- kins of California and Martin Flaherty of Lowell, Mass, fought twenty round draw at the Coliseum here tonight in the presence of 2,000 persons. Flaw kins commenced hostilities in the first round by landing a left swing that f1oored the Lowell man. He was up in an instant and returned the blow with interest. In the seventeenth Flaherty with a series of right and left swings, had Hawkins groggy, but he was too tired to complete his work. In the re- maining rounds both men fought fast and were tired out after most terrific battle. A feature of the fight was Flaherty's magnificent ducking tactics, and his good ring generalship. During the latter part of the fight Hawkins fouled continually although on several occasions it was due to Flaherty's jumping up to avoid blows The men fought at 133 pounds and the bout was refereed by Jimmy Carroll of Brooklyn. In preliminary go of twelve rounds Jack Delaney of New York was given the decision over Joe Gleecher of Mount Vernon.

NO VIOLENCE IN FRANKFORT. The One Thousand Armed Men Left tho
 City Last Night.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 25.-The arrival in Frankfort this morning of from 800
 to 1000 men armed with rifles might
 have terrorized a community less inured
 to unusual and sensat tional happenings,
 but by nightfall the excitement caused
 by the appearance of the warlke visit
 ors had subsided. The train that bore
 the armed men was made up of fourteen
 coaches. Apparently but few here knew that it was expected. The men left the
 coaches in front of the Louisville and
 Nashville station, and, forming into companies, marched to the state house, where their arms were deposited pro- miscuously and the men scattered about the buildings. Lunch was served to them at the rear of the state house. Most of the visitors wore badges of white ribbons, adorned with a picture of Governor Taylor. While it was gen. erally believed that many of the men were soldiers, no person in authority would stand sponsors for the statement, while Governor Taylor and Adjutant- General Collier disclaimed any connec- tion with them. The men hailed from various sections of the state.
 Shortly after their arrival the visitors gathered in front of the main state building, where exSecretary of State Finley addressed them, afterwards in- troducng Stephen Sharp of Lexington former judge of Fayette county and treasurer of state by appointment, suc- ceeding the absconding treasurer of state, J. w. Tate. Judge Sharp spoke briefly and put himself at the service of the men. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions which indicated the purpose of their mission. The resolu- tions as adopted will be presented to the legislature tomorrow
 The armed men, contrary to expecta- tions, on the advice of the republican here, left Frankfort at nine clock tonight. The consensus of opin- ion here Is that the visitors mistook this for the day on which the contest boards were to make their report The men were an hour getting aboard their train and amused themselves during the delay by discharging their guns. The people of the city gave them wide berth. They are expected to return when the contest ends.
