He had stood up and wanted to go on with the fight lonC after his seconds had thrown up the sponge. Kilrain had his hand on his heart and this made his friends think that his ribs were broken.
 My ribs are all right" said Jake, but my heart is caved in," and the tears came faster than ever. He was certain that he would have won the battle had his seconds let him go on. They were as certain that had the battle continued Sully would have killed him.
 When Paddy Ryan and John L. Sullivan fought at Mississippi City Suliy. who was then the strongest man alive, knocked Ryan out with a fearful punch in the stomach. A few minutes later, when Ryan came to. he said to Tom Kelly. his second {:

 Australian Jimmy Ryan handed Tommy Williams dream tablet before the Ken lucky Athletic Club in Louisville about a year ago. For the first three rounds Will Hams seemed to be having all the better of 1t, and he tapped the cock-eyed cyclone some good jolts. But in the fourth Ryan smiled wickedly. and without any appa- rent effort he hooked one under the jaw of Williams that staggered the Londoner. Three more in the same place laid him low.
 But Williams was game to the core. and. as he groggily rose to his feet, Ryan hit him again and he dropped to his knees. Once more he reached his feet and then came the blow that adjusted the machin- cry in his chronometer. The Lights Went Out.
 Who put out the lights?" Williams ask ed. excitedly, as he began to feel his req son returning.
 NO one" said Screw Saunders. his chief second; you were knocked out"
 T guess not" said Tommy. "I had him going when that fellow put out the lights Then someone hit me from behind"
 Williams said when he was fully recov- cred that he had been knocked out several times, but this time he was more confused than he had ever been Said he:
 Everything got dark. I felt dizzy and then shut my eyes and went to sleep. No 1t did not hurt"
 Jim Hall. the Australian, who came here with reputation which he failed to sus- tain, had rather peculiar experience in Louisville when Joe Cnoynski gave him the somnolent swipe.
 It was the opinion of everybody who saw the fight that the yellow streak fin Hall caused him to deliberately lay down, but Jim claimed to have Deen knocked out, all right
 Joe gave him the finishing touch in the third, and as he raised himself on one el- bow minute or two later, he turned to a reporter and said. sleepily:
 "Oh, I'm tired; femme sleep a little long CT. Faint time to git up"
 He thought he was back In Memphis in his own little bed and that his landlady was calling him in the morning.

 When John L. Sullivan received the fln- ishing touch in his battle with Jim Cor bett at New Orleans it was the first time in all his career that he had experienced a sensation of the kind.
 After he had been dragged to his chair and when he had recovered his equilli- brium somewhat. he said to Jack McAu- life, one of his seconds:
 What happened, Jack? What hap happened?"
 "You're licked" said McAulifre in sad voice.
 'Is that all?" said Sully Why, I thought I'd fallen off the Brooklyn bridge"

 There were two great big tears in his eyes. and 1t was thought that he had lost his reason.

Proposed Barge Line.

Several months ago a company was or- ganized in Tuscaloosa for the purpose of building and operating barge lines for the transportation of coal from the fields of the Warrior section by water route to Mobile and New Orleans. 1t is under stood here that the line is to be put in operation in the near future. Capt. John Murray who is perhaps, the oldest nav igator of the waters of Mobile Bay, Mis- sissippi Sound, the Gulf of Mexico and Lakes Borgne and Pontchartrain, this morning talked of the scheme. Captain Murray for fifty years has been travel ing up and down the water routes from Mobile to New Orleans on the bridges and in the pilot houses of vessels, and. therefore, is thoroughly acquainted with the deep water as well as shoal places, especially over what is called the inside route. He does not need to refer to chart to describe the several shoals and reefs along the line of travel most fre- uuently used between the Gulf and the Crescent City. He says that the distance by water, via Lake Borgne Canal, be- tween the two cities, is but little more than thirty miles further than by rail. He spoke most favorably of the scheme to barge coal to this port and New Or leans from the mines of Alabama.
 Captain Murray, the past week, brought a vessel to Mobile from New Orleans via
 
 very pleasant, due entirely to the fact that vessels do not come into direct con- tact with rough weather as they would in coming the outside route. There are, however, said Captain Murray, some mat ters of vital importance to mariners, to which he called attention. He says that in Mobile Bay, about three miles north east of Grants Pass, is a small buoy which should have a beacon instead About twenty miles to westward of Grants Pass, on what is called Grand Batture, should be placed beacon. West of Round Island, about six miles, on Belle Fontaine Shoals, should also be placed a beacon. Five miles further to the westward, on Deer Island Shoals, there should be a beacon. At the ent- rance to Pass Mary Ann, to the south ward, right north of Cat Island, on an old oyster reef, is a buoy which should be slIpplanted by a beacon. West southwest from Pass Mary Ann light is a buoy, but too small and here, too, should be beacon. Northeast from the mouth of Lake Borgne Canal, on Dago's Point. or the east end of Chef Menture, should be a beacon in about seven feet of water.
 The reason, Captain Murray said, bea- cons should supplant the present buoys where mentioned, is because of the buoys being small and setting low on the wa ter, at certain times, causing danger to the mariner. Already, he said, there Is considerable business between this port and other ports on the Alabama and Mis- sissippi coasts, and New Orleans, and the above lights would prove of great benefit to the mariners.

 It was thought by many In certain circle, that with the recapture and de- portation to the Insane Hospital at Mount Vernon of Charley West, the many att tempts to enter residences would cease, but this seems not to have been the re- suit. It is an almost daily occurrence now to have reports from responsible cit izens of attempts to get in their residences and yet few, if any. captures have been effected. The entrance into and ransacK- ing of Frank Petronovichs residence. an account of which appeared in today's Ad- vertiser, was but one of three reported.

When Steve O'Donnell. Corbet's old spar. ring partner. and Peter Maher came to- gether, the Irish champion gave Steve ar awful "Malleyrewing." Steve was always great as a trial horse, but never could fight bit. And every time Steve stop per Peter's glove with his jaw he became imbused with the idea that he was in a railroad collision.
 Was the whole train wrecked?' he inquired when he woke up at the close of his last fight with the Irish champion. i Dunkhorst, who received a 'iuke" punch on the jaw from Fitzsimmons sleepily opened his eyes and asked: Did the roof fall on me?"
 Doubtless Jimmy Handler was the victim of the queerest halluclnation. He was fighting with Billy Vernon and the brick maker had put in some jolts that had made the Newark boy blind. Handler is noted for his staying powers and. although dizzy and staggering. he managed to land a rap that put Vernon fast asleep. Hand Ter was still groggy when he went to his dressing-room and, sitting down, began to weep copiously.
 whats the matter with your" inquired one of his helpers.
 'I kin lick that feller"
 Certainly you kin," was the reply.
 'sWill he give me another match?" asked the fighter
 "Whut you want to fight him again, when ye put him out?"
 Didn't he lick me?"
 Nav" was the response. It was half an hour before Handler could divest himself of the impression he had been whipped by Vernon.
 When Terry Hit Him.
 Little Freckles o'Brien, the clever light weight of New Orleans. who once atempt- ed to knock the redoubtahle Terry Mo Govern out while that shifty scrapper was off his guard. got the torrid end of it and hied himself to the land of Nod. He said to the writer several weeks afterward: q was in New Orleans at the time Terry was there and his manager could get no one to go with him for a friendly bout agreed to stand up before him for four rounds. and the understanding was that there should be no slugging. We were just to tap each other lightly and go in for points. Terry didn't seem able to@reach me oftener than I did him, and finally 1 came to the conclusion that 1t would be a great thing for me to be able to say had knocked him out.
 The good opening I was looking for came at last and I landed one square un- der the jaw that shook him like an Arkan- sas chill He staggered, fell against the scenery and seemed to be right on the edge of the jumping-off place. l tried to follow it up and fix him for sure. but the little fellow rallied and came at me. There was fire in his eye. He reached me with both hands about 100 times. It seemed like it was raining cannon balls. At last I felt like stone slab had fallen on me and that the page of my life in which that scrap was written had been bloted out. When I was coming to I thought for an instant that I was dead. Somebody said I was all right and just for a moment | fancied I was waking in the other world have come to the conclusion that in the future I will confine my knock-outs to the rankest dubs and will take no chances on these tOrpedoes.
