minuie and twenty seconds Jimmy
Scanion, df Cincinnati disposed Of
Jimmy Graham. Iowa champion, be-
fore the Wilmington Park Club last
night. scanlcn is in splendid form and
appeared at his best. Graham had
trained too much and was net good. but
he never could fight with Scanlon.
After stepping about the ring for half a
minute the Cincinnati man had sized
his man up and With one punch On the
ear sent him 70 the ropes. Graham re-
sponeled after seven had been called.
Another short right to the jaw settled
his chances and he would have been
laid out cold but for the interference Of
his seconds who threw the spong into
the ring. Scanlon meets Dan Creedon
here on March | and there will be a
large bunch of money to wager that he
lbests the Australian. After this event
he Will force Ryan or Root to match.

Will win a place in the middle weight

Arguments in Ann Trial.

Knoxville. Feb. % Argument in the
Hamilton-Ahn murder case began yes
terday morning and the case Will go to
the jury today The evidence for the
defense was all in Friday morning. The
first witness to appear on the stand was
Dan Liebbe, Who was recalled for the
purpose of tess;ifying with regard TO
who broke the paddock off the granary
and took his gun out of John Aim 8 oats
bin. JOIN: Richmond testified that IL | he
people III tia, neck of the town would
tell all they knew the mystery would
be cleared up. Mrs. Yancey, who lived
across the creek from Maryville. about
100 feet from the bridge, said she saw
Alfred Aim on the morning of the shoot
ling of Hamilton IN the, RI rect. forty feet
away, going south toward Lovilla. This
was ar hour before the shooting. The
surprse OF the morning was that tllf
defense at this point rested and tina,
without putting the defendant upon the
stand. There was a sort of impression
that Ahn would go on the stand and
clear away considerable of the mystery
with regard to the case. Attorney Stone
began arguing for the prosecution and
the conviction Of the defendant shortly
after noon. He made the following
|points: That DR. Hamilton was shot
and killed no one questioned; thai the
shot was fired from no great distance,
as was shown from the character and
location of the fence and outbuiIdings;
thar it could not have been done by 9TH
er than person familiar with the sur
roundings;; the defendant had many
times threatened the life Of Hamilton.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
VISITORS IN BUFFALO.

Hundreds of Hotels, Boarding and
Rooming Houses, Besides Many Pri-
vate Homes, on the List.
So much mas been said and written
about the ability of the city Of Buffalo
TO care for the crowds which will at
tend the Pan-American Exposition this
summer that a few facts and figures
will be appreciated by the general pub
lie.
In the first place, there are listed
more than 200 hotels, which will give
accommodation to 10000 people; there
are $50 boarding and rOOming houses,
atfording accommodation for 1880,
while 1000 owners of houses. most of
whom never before hung out their
latchString for a consideration, have
signitied their intention of opening
their houses for the accommodation of
visitors to Buffalo this summer. These
1000 homes will accommodate at least
100000 visitors.
The Exposition Company has arrang-
ed to furnish tent accommodation on
the Exposition grounds for $50 uni
formed men. There are also two com
panieS arranging tent systems which
will afford additional accommodation
outside of the grounds for 800 or so.
In addition to all this, there are a
large number of buildings throughout
the city now being remodeled and con-
verified into hotels, the plans of which
are not far enough along to afford an
accurate description or to estimate &C
cOmmodation at the present time. 1t is
safe to estimate the present capacity
of the city of Buffalo to accommodate
100000 strangers. To this may be add
ed accommodations for at least $4,000
in the surrounding towns, such as Ton
AMANDA, La Sale, Niagara Falls, Lock
port, Williamsville, Gardenville De
pew and Lancaster, all within a short
trolley ride of the city
Rates In hotels range from 81 per
day upward. AS ridiculous stories have
been circulated in regard to eXOrbitant
hotel rates, it Is well to note the rates
that have been established at the IrO-
quois, the most expensive hotel in the
city. These are, for one in a room
without bath, So and upward: for two
in room without bath, So and upward,
thus making the minimum rate $3.50
per individual The rate for room
with bath for one person is S. or for
two in n room $3.50. This is on the Eu-
rOpean plan. Of course there are rooms
and suites Of rooms in this hotel for
much higher rates for those who wish
to pay them, but the prices here given
are the highest in the city for hotel

A Wrinkle In Cooking Steak.

The proper way to cook a beefsteak
is to broil 1t, but oftentimes it may
happen that it Is not convenient, and
the steak mustjbe' fried. This may be
done very satisfactorily If a little
thought is given to the matter. Put an
iron saucepan over the fire and let it
become very hot; then rub the pan with
a piece Of butter and put in the steak
and quickly brown one side; then
turnsit and brown the other side. This
W1llYSkeep in the juices. Cover the pan
and cook the steak three minutes;
again turn it and cook 1T three minutes
longer. If the steak is not Of extra
thickness, the meat will be cooked
sufficiently in that length Of time.
Place the steak on hot platter. spread
1t with butter, season with salt and
pepper and serve,

EVENING DRESS IN BLACK AND WHITE.
falls away almost in tunic fashion the
dress, to reveal an underdress of lace
With this either very tight sleeves fit
ting closely to the wrist are worn or
very short sleeves made of q tiny puff,
the latter being, of course, essentially
empire.
Quite as conspicuOusly as the empire
dress forms the idol for evening wear
so does the little bolero distinguish all
the day dresses.
But these picturesque styles do not
detract from the popularity of the lace
and jeweled frock made on the more
conventional lines, with short sleeves,
pouched bodice and narrow belt, and
we still rejoice in the plain cloth dress
es with many stitchings and lace or
lisse cravat tied with a velvet knot and
set into jeweled ends.
The evening dress Illustrated is the
always desirable combination Of white
and black. 1t is Of crepe de chine bear
ing an applique Of black lace in waved
lines and single motifs, and the bodice
is tucked win the lace brought round
the figure in very becoming fashion
and the lisse fastened into the center
Of the decolletage with an ornamented
button.
The very latest mode for the couture
is to dress it low, but women in gener-
al should be very careful before they
adopt this style. With a classical head
and well proportioned figure nothing Is
more beautiful, but fortordinary folk it
is distinctly trying.
With the present low style of hair
dressing it is absolutely necessary to
have the hair full and loose in the
front and, of course, waved. Rumor
