TRoUNCED JOHN L.
Mixed Up With Lineman and Got a
Beating.

Bridgeport. Conn, May 9.-John L
Sullivan. former champion pugilist. IS
today suffering from the effects OF
whipping given to him by Frederick
Bierbaun, a telephone Hneman, last
night. Sullivan had just closed his sea
son as Simon Legree, in. '"Uncle Tom
Cabin" He and Bierbaum met in the
barroom of the Fremont hotel. The
boxer made a remark that the hneman
did not like. Cant you be a gentle
MANI" said Bierbaum. This threw the
ex-pugilist into frenzied rage and he
struck at the lineman. The blow caught
the latter on the side of the head and
caused him to stagger. He rushed back
at Sullivan, however, and caught him
on the head with left swing. The men
clinched and rained blows on each other
at such a rate that they could not be
counted. Sullivan did not display any
of his old-time fighting qualities, by any
means for the hneman who is young
and husky, finally forced Sullivan to
break out of the clineh badly whipped
man.
Friends of both finally separated them
and Bierbaum was hustled out of the
side door.

Experience in the east In regard to
the effect Of asphalt pavement upon

servers that the influence Of the I'm
pervious pavement depends upon the
character of the soil. Where there Is
a substratum of rock the trees will
suffer. because the pavement will pre-
vent moisture from reaching the roots
from above, from which direction all
nuurishment for the trees must come.
