JOE CANS FIGHTS THREE MEN.

Joe Cans attempt TO defeat three men
consecutively at Baltimore last night was
not crowned with success. He outpoint-
ed the first man, the police interfered in
the second bout. and the third contest
could easily be called a draw. The agree
ment was that IL either of the men were
on their feet at the end OF the sixth round
no decision should be given.
Cans did not show his usual headwork,
blocking. His first opponent was Harry
Berger of Philadelphia. Berger was far
too strong for Cans. who easily outpoint-
ed him. but could not land the blow that
would do the business. Berger played
almost entirely for the stomach and
landed several times. but not hard enough
for the desired effect He. however.
lasted the six rounds out. and. but for a
split lip and bleeding nose. was but little
damaged. His successor. who was Nc
Governs boxing partner. Jack Donohue,
was not as successful.
Jack began with McGovern's rushing
tactics. The first round was equal. but
In the second right hand jolt on the
jaw I'm a mix-up sent Donohue to the floor.
He took the count. and as he got up he
was sent down and the police stopped the
fight.
The third man 20 tackle Cans was Kid
Thomas OF New York. This was more
OF a sparring match than anything else.
Cans did nothing but block, and the Kid
spent the six rounds I'm clinching. Not an
effective blow was landed by either dur
ing the entire bout.

EAST PROVIDENCE

The Business Mems association held an
interesting meeting last evening. The
interesting part being that few men
who desire to pose as reformers were
given to understand once and for all that
the Business Mems association was not
formed for political purposes. Nor was
IL a reformity body and that II the laws
of the town were not enforced to the lik-
ing of any one of the men. that they had
an outlet for their troubles In holding an
Indignation meeting instead OF attempting
10 drag their own affairs into the as
ISOLATION. The idea OF the reformers was
10 have a committee appointed 10 inves-
tigate the town council and police depart
ment. but tho movement was promptly
killed by the members who are at all
times interested in the welfare OF the
town as their past and present records
will show

USED RAZOR.
White Woman SIashss CoIorsd
Man With Whom She Lived.

Ada Manchester, a white woman, living
with Robert Ford, colored. a waiter at
the Narragansett slsshed the latter per-
son viciously with a razor in a boarding
house on Warmers lane last evening.
The house in which the cutting ARRAY
took place is boarding and lodging es-
tablishment operated by Nellie Brooks,
white, and her husband Peter, who is
colored Ford and Miss Manchester have
lived together in this mouse for some
time.
Yesterday afternoon a white person
by the name of Therese Carr. from New
Bedford. visited Ford. 1t seems that this
Miss Carr is an old acquaintance of
Ford's. and in consequence the latter
took a day off in order to entertain her.
This amount of attention seems TO have
made the Manchester woman jealous,
and been the cause for her action.
The two women were gathered IN Carr's
room early I'm the evening. BY S o'clock
relations had become so strained that a
first-class row was brewing. Ultimately.
the Manchester woman's wrath became
so uncomfortable that she grasped IA
zor and slashed Ford's arm from the
shoulder TO the elbow. cutting deep cash
over 10 inches long. She then disap-
peared.
Ford kept his head. and by Miss carrs
aid succeeded I'm binding up his arm With
towels so as to partially stop the flow OF
blood They then proceeded to Dr. llar-
veys office, which is situated at the cor
ner OF Stewart and Broad streets. Or
Harvey found IL necessary TO take y
stitches to close up the cash
On their way TO the physicians they
met officer Gallagher who notified the
Fifth station after learning the particu-
lars. Lieut. Dairy and Sergt. O'Nel i'm
mediately started for the house where the
cutting ARRAY occurred. They found the
razor I'm Fora room, the floor OF which
was covered in blood. At nrst they could
not find the Manchester woman, but
upon looking behind a door Lieut.. Dairy
at last discovered her. Miss Manchester
admitted that she did the cutting. but
said IL was done in self-defense.
The three persons were taken TO the
police station and examined. A 32-calibre
liver Johnson revolver was found in tho
Carr woman's stocking. She may be
charged with carrying concealed wea-
pons
The Manchester woman was charged
with assault with a dangerous weapon.
The woman pleaded self-defense and
was held in $1,000 for trial on Friday.
Theresa Carr pleaded guilty to carry-
ing a concealed weapon, viz, revolvers
and was fined $50 and costs. She claimed
that the weapon belonged TO Ford, and
that she had taken II from his trunh
and put It in her stocking

PRoVIpENCE 5. BUFFALO 3.

Providence succeeded I'm taking the third
straight game from Buffalo at Adelaide
park yesterday afternoon IN a contest
which was absolutely devoid of features
and was listless TO the extreme
Although the game was close not much
interest was manifested, and the only oc-
casion on which the rooters were aroused
from the lethagy was I'm the sixth when
Tommy Leahy rove the ball TO deep left
for three bases. sending home Henry and
Crisham and tieing the score. He also
crossed the plate a moment later on Dun

much with the stick and although he be-
labored the sphere in a vigorous manner
Il failed TO go safe.
In the absence OF Umpire Rim, "Silver"
Braun was pressed into service. and the
blonde haired one was very much of on
balls and strikes. Despite his stigmatic
decisions. little kicking was INDUCED In
