Death of a Hero.

General Zebulon York, a prom
inent lawyer and planter in this
State before the war and zone of
the bravest Generals of the Con-
federacy,'' died at his home in
Natchez, Miss, at 2:10 Sunday
evening in the 8oth year of his
age. He was born October 10,
1919, in Avon, Franklin county,
Maine.
At the opening of the war, says
the New Orleans Picayune, Gen.
York "and his planting partner,
Mr.. Hoover, paid more realty
taxes than any other party in
Louisiana. They owned six mag
nificent plantations, having an
annual output of some $500 bales
of cotton, which meant the owner
ship of some 100 slaves, &C."
At the State election held on
Monday, January Z, 1861, Gen.
York was unanimously chosen as
a Delegate from Concordia parish
to the Convention at Baton Rouge,
and voted for the Ordinance of
Secession, which was passed on
Saturday, January 26, 1861, at
1850 o clock P. M. One hundred
and twenty-one Delegates signed
the Ordinance and nine members
refused to sign it.
After the withdrawal of Loui-
isiana from the Union, Gen. York
returned to Vidalia and raised and
equipped company for the Con-
federate service at the expense of
himself and partner, and he en-
tered the army as the Captain of
his company, which was assigned
to duty in the Fourteenth Louis
lana, which regiment he COM
manded in several bloody battles.
September 2, 1861, Capt. York
was commissioned Major. While
gallantly leading his men in an
engagement at Williamsburg, Va,
Major York was wounded in the
left arm and left side of the breast.
April 2, 1852, he was promoted to
. Lieutenant Colonelcy. He led
the Fourteenth Louisiana in the
bloody battles of Mechanicsville,
Gaines Mill, or Cold Harbor;
Frazier's Farm and Malvern Hill.
At the battle of Cold Harbor the
fighting was extraordinarily Sc
we're, /" continues the Picayune.-
"The enemy had a very destruc-
tive battery upon an eminence
most difficult of ascent. Line af-
ter line of the army had been
moved down by those cannon,
when an order was given to York
to take that battery York, fol-
lowed by his fearless soldiers, ad-
vanced unfalteringly, and laying
his sword on the foremost cannon,
the boys took the battery, which
was quickly turned upon the en-.
envy. A wild cheer went up from
a breathless army watching the
daring feat, but York lost 1877 O
his fearless boys in that perilous
undertaking. In all these blood,
engagements York escaped will

confidence wnned and his efforts were
largely perfunctory. Was this be-
cause he saw the futility Of trying to
defeat Corbett or because 1t was part
Of prearranged plan? This is the
query asked by the maIcontents. Why
did Mccoy cease rushing so early in
the fight when that was his prearrang-
ed plan OF battleP
Corbett is jealous of his reputation
and would never clay down." The
"Kid" is not accused Of this pride.
Money is an object to him, and If
"anything was doing he would be the
one to turn the card His refusal to |
shake hands might all be part Of a pre-
arranged plan. So II ID possible to
draw strong circumstantial evidence
against the two pugilists.
Yet there are other considerations.
Johnny Considine, Corbett's business
partner who would certainly know
II anything was amiss, bet $1,000
against $1,000. When others were Of
fering 2 to / he refused to lower the
odds. He denied emphatically the
story circulated yesterday that Cor
bett was afflicted with rheumatism,
whereas confirmation would have
heightened the price. 1t must be
borne in mind, too, THAT SO many
"fakes" have been pulled off here that
many are hypocritlcal. Then, too, the
contest went so much as expected from
the form of the fighters in many de-
tails that 1t bore the partial impress
sion of genuineness,
McCOY'S HUMILIATION.
The Corbett-McCoy fight Thursday
night differed from most recent con-
tests in that 1t caused more talk and
speculation after 1t was over than be-
fore the men stepped into the ring,
For several days before the date set for
the fight there We're rumors In circu-
lation to the effect that the men were
not training very hard and that they
were out for the gate receipts rather
than the glory of winning fast and
bruising mill.
Notwithstanding these stories, which
were disproved by the result, Madison
Square Garden held 10000 spectators
when the referee called the men who
are supposed to be the most scientific
of boxers to the center of the ring.
From the moment when Mccoy re-
fused to shake Corbett's hand the
crowd knew there was to he no fake,
and when Mccoy made Corbett stag
ger n little in the first round the
cheers were deafening, The surprise
of the evening was Corbett's hitting
power. He, not only outclassed Nc
Coy In feinting and clever foot work,
but when the opportunity came in the
fourth and fifth rounds the former
champion beat down his opponent
with sledge hammer blows which
ralned so fast that Mccoy was be-
wildered.
The knockout landed directly in the
pit of the stomach and was the same
kind of blow that Fitzsimmons used
TO finish Corbett at Carson City. After
the close of the fight Corbett was very
happy ana said he would try to get
on another match with Jef'ries. Nc
Coy was much detected, In an inter-
view he said the only thing to make
him sorry was the fact that his defeat
was administered by cofbett, whom

CRIES OF FAKE.
Now that the .Corbett-McCoy fight,
the last important battle Of the Horton
law, which passed out Of existence at
midnight, has been decided, the priH-
cipal topic around New York sporting
resorts Friday was discussion rs TO
whether or not the affair was a
"fake," cleverly executed, or genuine
battle. From appearances 1t might
have been either with men of such
cleverness involved. Local newspa-
per and fistic critics are almost unani-
nous In advocating the honesty Of the
affair. 1t Is mostly the out of town
visitors who made long, expensive
trips to witness the encounter, that
are decrylng the match.
Whatever the true status, and that
can be arrived at only by induction,
Corbett has lost much of the prestige
gained by the persistence of the ru-
mors. An analysis of the arguments,
pro and con, looking at the battle re-
trospectiyely, will enable readers to
form their own Judgment.
The first argument advanced by
those holding out for the integrity of
the result is great publicity given
the rumors OF LAY down." In the
West Wolcott and McFadden-O'B 'Brien
contests, which are now generally re-
garded as "bald fakes" in the Maher-
Choynski robbery and in numerous
other shady bouts of lesser import
ance, not n peep was heard in advance
until the money was safely placed.
Now, yesterday everyone who ran
might hear those persistent rumors.
Again there was o scarcity of Mccoy
money( . to being offered with no
takers at the rlngside.
Moreover, Corbett was the logical
and natural favorite. He had recent
ly stood 20 rounds before Champion
Jeffries. What chance then would Nc
Coy have, argued Jim's friends. The
IndlanIan was all at sea In the rough
work with Tommy Ryan at Chicago
and fought a disappointing battle
He was equally out-generaled In the
rushing and mix-ups Thursday night,
although Corbett Is not considered
premier in that direction, So much
for the contention of Gentleman
Jim's" friends. Now for the other
side.
There were places where the affair
did not look exactly right II one We're
suspicious. With all OF Corbett's clev-
erness Mccoy might be expected TO
land few hard blows, but he hardly
landed one. His vicious punches were
few and generally went wild, his ef-
forts In the main being faint hearted
pushes. After the third round his

Sporting News.

Clean clever boxing was the feature
of the first smoker given under the
auspices of the South End Athletic
club at the new quarters Friday night.
Taken all in all 1t was the best enter
tainment of It's nature ever given In
this city.
The club house was crowded, three
hundred and fifty spectators occupying
seats around the ring and in the two
galleries. Johnny Lavack was the ref
cree in each contest. The greatest in
terest centered in the six round go be-
tween Art Simms and Farmer Reeder
of Cleveland. The last named has
been making n record for himself in
the Forest City. He has succeeded in
putting a number OF fast men out of
the business and there are many who
were present last night who do not
wonder that this is true.
Reeder is fast, uses good judgment,
and hits hard. He was cool at every
stage OF the game and at no time did
Simms have any special advantage
he glad 10 see the two men matched for
20 round contest. Simms evidently
had several pounds the better of II In
weight. 1t was announced that they
would go six rounds.
IN the opening round neither man
struck hard blow: They feinted and
fddled for good opening but both
were careful taking no chances. The
mix-up. In this It was an even break,
both landing often on head and ribs.
Reeder showed remarkably good judg-
ment of distance in the third. He new
or failed to land when he swung. The
upper cuts found their way to Slmms'
chin. The Akron man countered heav-
lily each time on his opponents head
Tie fourth, nth. and sixth ronds
We're along the same lines On the
points the decision would have been
awnrded to Reedcr. He landed more
frequently than his opponent. In a
fight for a decision II Is probable that
Slmms would wear him out as he hits
harder and is more aggressive. The
crowd wns warm in It's applause, show
ing no partlality.
The six-round go between Johnny
Whitaker, OF Akron, and Grant Nick
ems, OF Cleveland, was the hardest o
the evening. Nickens weighed at leas
IL pounds more than Whitaker, wa.
All these combined to make him to,
hard q proposition for the local man
Nlckens has very vicious left whicl
he uses to good advantage The fourth
fifth and sixth rounds were very fast
At the end Of the contest Whittake
had badly bruised face, His left ey,
was almost closed. Nickens announc
ed that he was ready 10 go against an,
13S pound man in Ohio
The other contests were three rount
affairs. Those who furnished amuse
ment were: Walter Fenton vs.. Clyd,
Falor, both of Akron; Charles Cheer
VS.. George Rogers, both Of Akron
Fred colly vs., WallIe Young, both OF
Akron; and Nyle Mooney, Of Newburj
