THE COON" NOT IN IT.
Teddy McGovern Defeats George Dixon, the
Negro Pugilist.

Chicago, Ills, June 23-At Tattersalls
tonight, Terry McGovern defeated George
Dixon, the eX-champion, in six rounds.
Dixon, although not knocked out, was in
distress and holding on for dear life as
the bout ended. The fight was fast and
furious from beginning to end with Terry
on top of his man all the time. Dixon
tried in every conceivable manner to get
the advantage but his blows did not
have the steam behind them that his
younger opponent was dealing out. Nc
Govern took matters rather easy during
the first two rounds and the colored boy
landed repeatedly and near the end Of
the second round staggered McGovern
with a vicious blow on the jaw. McGov-
ern recovered quickly however and was
forcing matters when the round ended.
McGovern woke up in the third round
and put in some of his famous short arm
jolts to his adversary's stomach. Dixon
clinched repeatedly to avoid punishment
but McGovern kept after the colored boy
constantly and Dixon looked troubled as
the round closed. Dixon did some good
work in the next two rounds, but Nc
Govern was too strong for him and made
the veteran break ground several times.
The last round was all McGovern's. He
went after Dixon with both hands but
Dixon lodged the issue and grabbed Terry
around the next at every opportunity to
escape punishment. McGovern worked
hard to make Dixon keep away and fight
out the latter would no sooner step back
than he would come in again and hold
McGovern for dear life. Even in this
manner Dixon received a severe beating
and was very weak at the end of the
bout.

TRIO OF STRONG MEN.

The President Of the State Norma
and Industrial School at Greensboro
gave the visitors Of that institution
a treat in furnishing a trio of strong
men and able congressman at yester-
days commencement occasion. The
speaker of the day was Judge De
Almond, of Missouri, one Of the first
men in public life in the United
States. He is Of all the Democratic
leaders in Congress the ablest. with
the possible exception of Bailey, and
is easily the most direct. clear-cut
and forcible speaker in the present
House. He strengthened himself in
North Carolina by his great speech at
Greensboro yesterday. Only the pres
ence of the campaign prevented a
large gathering Of the States public
men to hear him.
Mr.. John H. Small is the foremost
of our younger public men in the
cause of public education, and his adj
dress was worthy his reputation.
Mr.. kitchin did not make a SET
speech, being at home. He is one OF
the States first Young men.
DR.. McIver could not have secured
n more popular trio to q to the
glory of commencement.

COAL MINERS STRIKE.
Will Begin July l. Ten Thousand Miners Are
Involved.
(By the Associated Press.)

Birmingham, Ala, June 23.-Indications
are that the Birmingham district is to
witness a general coal miners strike on
July 1st. Such a strike would involve
10000 miners directly and the closing
down of the mines would throw nearly
10, 900 other men out of work. The State
Miners convention has been in session
here since Wednesday, formulating the
miners demand including a new wage
scale, and a conference between the min
ers and operators will be held on Monday
next. 1t is stated on excellent authority
that the miners will demand a higher
maximum and minimum basis for mining.
Leading operators say that it is impossi-
bic for them to grant a raise and they
even intimate that they may not be able
to obtain the old scale.
