Just tllnk 0f II. \ pflZe HSHL looh piace right in the heart of this city yesterday, and one of the fighters was sent into dreamland in sleep so deep that those who were present had thoughts of hiking for other states or olit of the country for feG that they would be arrested as accessories to a murder. It was the real thing, too. for blood flowed freely and the settlement of the supremacy of twOl alleged hsht- CTS was at stake The fight took place in a stable not thousand miles away from the vicinity of South Main street, and as there are many stables in that vicinity you can pick your choice. The pugilists were said to be d man named Hine and another seeker after pugilistlc hpnors named Tiffany. Both are en- ployed in local factories, and it. is rc ported in the same factory that each has been threatening to Go things tc the other for long time. This cul- minated yesterday in delightful scrap in the stable not named.
 In the first round Hine, as the name is given, and who was rated as the best man of the two, went after his man hot foot. It was a Diff. bang af- fair in that round and Tiffany got q pretty good beating. He gave some good thumps himself, but when tho round ended it was said by one who was present that Tiffany wanted to cult right there. His seconds prevailed on him to stay. however. and stay he did. It reminded some of those pres ent. this wanting to quit, of the fight at in thn ion hp,Isn i1, tho east end. when Denny Leary and George Gassman fought. In that fight I.eary beat Gassman to a pulp in the first round and Gassman wanted to quit His second. who is a gentleman well known in this city to-day. forced i,im to stay by threats anG otherwise. and he did stay. and what beating he gave poor Leary in the next round or two.

 When the second round opened Tiff fany showed that he possessed little gameness at that. for although getting Il fearful beating in that first round he went after Hine hammer and tOngs. It was Diff and bang by one and the the other until Hine went down from fearful blow. He was up in a second and the slaughter went on. Both men were badly used up when tlat round Yded. .' 1Va fAUy,E"
 The next round was the last one. Tiffany had rcgained confidence and lie went after Hine with a vengeance. Hinc fought like a wild man. and as those present describe it. it was q wild fight in which any one might land the knockout blow. It was fearful ham, mering each man got and finally Tif- fany landed one blow that would feli an OK and down went Hine. and as his Lead struck the hard concrete a hush came over the crowd of sports present. Tor they realized that the blow might mean death. IIinc was picked up and everything possible done to revive him. and when he did show signs of recov. crinc consciousness there was sigh of relief from those who were attending to him. Some of those who were pres cnt skipped as soon as they saw the force of the blow and they were more than anxious to find out if liinc had recovered.
