One Round, of Two Minutes, I Fought,
when Parkinson Commit! Foal Play,
and Kiiy near Off $1000 In
Stakes, at the Consequence, Ktc.
In The Evkhino TKi.KORA.pn of Monday
afternoon we stated that a mill had bnen
ar named between Thomns Kelly, of this city,
and William 1'arkliison, of l'ottsvllle, and was
to come off yesterday morning, not many miles
from tbe city. The preliminaries of the match
Were arranged at Hemline, on the 21st of Janu
ary last. It was then and there agreed the
agreement being In writing, and attested by
- 'William Draper tliai the light should trans-
J lire on the liitii of March; Hint It should be a
air stand-up encounter, conducted according
to the new rules of the Iinndon l'rizo King; tliat
the stakes should be 8,i00 a side, the llrat dopo
filt of $ii to be placed In the hands ot
Joseph Laurence, of llurrlshurg; the hocoikI, of
$75. In the hands of Frank liueen; the third, of
$100, lu the same handH, on the 6th of February;
the fourth, of $100, In the same hands, on the
I'Jlh of February; and the fifth and final, ol 8200
a side. In the same hands, on the 12th of March.
It won further agreed that the fighting weight
should be one hundred and twelve pounds; and
that, In case either of the combatants exceeded
this on the day previous to the enoounter, the
ptakes to bt 5irielted. The same result was to
follow If every Instalment was not paid on
time, and, also, if either man was not at tiie
place of weighing, ready to toss for the choice of
ground, at the appointed time.
Jf the authorities happened to Interfere, and
no referee had boen appointed, t tie referee was
to name tiie time and place of fighting; and if
either combatant were arrested, the fighting to
take place outside of l'ennsyl vania. The men
were to be in tiie ring between the hours of tt
and 10 A. M., when the referee was to bo mu
tually chosen, and the money won In a fair and
r wire stand-up encounter, or not paid over by
Frank Queen, the llnalstakeholder.
The gentlemen who Into entered this solemn
covenant are not unknown in tbe sporting
world. Thomas Kelly, wheu ready for the
onset, stood five feet five Inches in height, and
weighed but one hundred and nine pounds aud
a half. He is a native of St. John, New Bruns
wick, but for eight years past has resided In
this city. Ho istwenty-three years old. Twice
already had he entered the prize-ring.
Ills first contest was with Adam Exfort,
Whom he easily vanquished in 1865, after right
ing twenty-seven rounds, which, occupied one
hour and twenty-seven minutes. In this affiiir
he passed 'by the name of "Hastings' Kid."
- Subsequent to this affair, under the alias of
"Buckshot," he gained another victory in
thirty rounds, lasting one hour. He was trained
by Mike Cnrr, at Point Hreeze, In this city, aud
Was in splendid conditiou wiien be appeared
on the ground yesterday morning.
William Parkinson, a Welshman by birth
and a puddler by profession, is thirty-four
rears of age. live feet three and a half inches
n height, and weighed one hundred and
eleven pounds and a half. He has been work
ing recently in un iron foundry at Tamuqun,
Pennsylvania.
Before coming to this country, he aoqulred a
game reputation in Kuglund, where h was
engaged In several mills, all of which he claims
to nave won, excepting one. Four years ago
he came to this country, and has several
times attempted to get into a fight, without
success, l'urkinson finally met Kelley at the
fight between Collyer and McUlade last Janu
ary, when the preliminaries were arranged for
the contest which ca me off yesterday. Parkl n
eon at once repnired to Pottsvllle, whore he
went into training under Ned Williams, of
peripatetic renown, by whom he was put Into
superb condition.
At the appointed honrat least one thousand
persous were present to witness the fight. The
ecene was about one mile west of Donglassvllle,
In Berks county. "Oyster Jack," of this city,
officiated as ringmaster. Near the ground was
a high hill, which was crowded with specta
tors, while many of those who were in the
immediate neighborhood of the ring climbed
up the trees, to avoid standing In one foot of
enow.
The crowd was nbont evonly divided between
the friendsof the rival parties, and outside bets
were freely offered by both sides, and as freely
accepted. Kelly's seconds were Paddy Maley
and Johnny Lazarus; while Parkinson was
backed up by P. Jones and C. Jones, Esqs.
Johnny Iilckey ollielated as Kelly's umpire,
and John Churchill as Parkinson's, and after
considerable wrangling, Mr. Coleman was
chosen referee. Just before the right com
menced, Johnny Hlckey, whom Parkinson had
previously challenged in vain, stepped exci
tedly forward and offered to maul the victor
for $1000 or S5000, as he chose.
When time was; called both men came up
to the scratch, aud after sundry preliminaries,
f-rinnlngs, poslngs, and feintlngs. each lot his
eft fist fly at the other's face, but each blow fell
short. Another pass, preceded by several feints,
was then made, Kelly contriving to plant his
left list on Parkinson's mouth, drawing first
blood, while Parkinson smote his opponent
kindly upon the forehead.
The action then became quite lively, and
several blows and counter-blows were mutu
ally inflicted, when the two specimens came to
close quarters. Parkinson thereupon seized
Kelly by the leg, just above the knee, wheu
the cry of "Foul !' was forthwith raised.
They continued to tug away at each other,
however, until Kelly sank upon the ground.
iiiHt. ns ha nlanted a furious left-hauder iu the
ribs of bis opponent, who tumbled over on him
as he fell. The referee promptly decided that
Kelly was the winner ot tne nght, ana eutiiiea
to the stakes; although there was a great deal
f dissatisfaction at this summary termination
of the sport, and loud cries, amid considerable
contusion, lor tue continuance oi tne connict.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
Obhkrvancb or this Hkrhrw Thanksgiving,
Tint Fkast ok Pukim. The following Is a brief
history of the origin of the Festival of the
Purim, which will be celebrated by the Hebrews
all overtho world to-morrow:
In the dnys of Ahaaucrus, King of Persia,
who is xald to be the Artaxerxes ijonglnianus
of history, the Jews were scattered over
his hundred and twenty-seven provinces,
where they enjoyed comparative peace and
prosperity. This continued for some tlmo, or
rather until a courtier, llaman bv name, was
raised to the rank of Prime Minister. So full
of pride was he at his promotion, that his arro
gance knew no bounds, and he even com
manded every one to bow down to the earth
as ho approached. This was acquiesced in by
all except an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin,
named Slordecnl, who, believing it to be wrong
to bow down to any savo tlio great King of
Kings, refused to pay such undue homage,
which so Incensed Hainan that he determined
on the destruction, not only of the ollending
Mordecal, but of the whole Jewish race.
Esther, the Queen, who was a Jewess, learned
of the Intended destruction of her race, and
gave a banquet, at which sho intended to sue
and prevail upon the King to save her people.
At this banquet Esther unfolded the tale and,
told tho King what H wicked man proposHd
doing to her people. Tho King, in a burst of
anger, demanded the name of tho inhuman
monster, whom Est her pointed out in tho per
son of his Minister Hainan. Frantic with rage,
the King ordered bis Immediate execution on
the gullows he was told he had prepared for
Mordecal; and as the laws of the Medes and
Persians could not be changed, the royal pro
clamation went forth that the Jews should de
fend themselves from their enemies on the
rnemornble 14th of Ad nr. But there was little
heed of this, for "fear was on the Inhabitants,"
nnil Instead of a day of sorrow and walling, it
beoamo one of Joy and feasting, and so ordered
to be observed.
The origin of the name of tho feast Is from
the "lots" cast by Hainan, tho Hebrew word for
"Purim," and ever slnco tho feast has been
kept up as a season of rejoicing, in commemo
ration of the goodness ot Ood to His people of
Israel, whom He has declared "shall never bo
destroyed, even though they be in the land of
their enemies."
On the Saturday preceding Die Feast of Purim.
sermons ate preached upon the observance of
the feast in the various synagogues. Theeveu
ingbeforo the day of the festival is generally a
season of rejoicing, and was formerly almost as
much observed amongst the Hebrews as Christ
mas eve is amongst Christian nations. On the
morning of the duy, which occurs to-morrow,
there Is a 6erviou In the synugogues, and the
history of the origin of the feast is read instead
of a regular sermon. During tho evening the
people moot in social gatherings, and all ore
merry, and congratulate each other upon tho
great blessing that the duy commemorates. In
former days, the custom generally obtained of
giving and receiving presents, but of late years
it has not been so generally observed.

out irom Kaighn's 1'oint, N. J., where she was
built, and steamed slowly up to the Company's
wharf, second below Spruce street, whore she
now lies. Perhaps a more perfectly modelled
criift never walked the water, and she floats
almost like a feather. She is an exact fac
simile of the Star of the Union, differing only
in Die amount of tonnage, she is 200 feet in
length, with 30 feet breadth of beam, and 19
feet in depth. Sho will carry 850 tons of mer

One of the soldiers is represented in a kneeling

characteristic of the picture is the expression

In th Treatment of Chronla
Piseasei.
DR. S. W. BECKWITH'S
ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No. 12 20 WALNUT ST.
During our investigations in the treatment of dis
ease in its various lormg by the agency of electricity,
we have obtained very many valuable and startling
facts, which, aaded to the previous though limited
iiilormation, possessed by other and loss fortunate
operators, place ua beyond all previous knowledge
ot this mjBteribUs agoiit. Jjuring tho course of our
practice we have treated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and by
means ol our new discoveries have established our
selves as the most successful Medical Klectnciuus in
this country or Europe.
Kitctrical investigation has provod that the human
body acts on the prino.yle ot tue galvanic battery.
The biaiu, mucous aud serous inouiorauos, the skin,
tissues, and lluids constitute tho negative and post
tive lorces, and every action, whetner montai or
physical, Is the result of these antagonistic lorces
Umeetiou, rtepiiatiou, circulation, secretion, aud
excretion are due aoiely to electrical iniluonoe.
There is a polar actiou established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part ol
tbe boay, establishing aud preserving a proper
balance of the electrieulelemont which oouBtitutua
health, and a disturbance of whioh causes disease
There are strictly out two conditions of disease
one of niUummaiion, or positive ; the other weak,
debilitated, negative and as electricity contains
these two conditions iu the actiou of tue positive
and negative currents, all we have to do to to
neutralize tho disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
Among the chronlo diseases in which electricity
ban been, and is daily being by our agency, of the
greatest utility, a cure being rapidly eflected alter
the tuiiUro oi aii oiuer means, ore:
1. Knlleusy, Chorea, or St. Vitus' Dance. Paralv

2. bore Throat, Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea, Dysentery,
Obstinate Constlpailon, Htcmorrboides, or Files,
Bilious, Flatulent, aud Painter's Colic, and all alleo

8. Catarrh, Cough, Intlueuza, Asthma (when not
caused by organio disease of the heart), Uronohitls,
Pleurisy, Pleurodynia, or Rheumatism oi the Chest,
consumption in ine eany stages.
4. Gravel, Diabetes, and Kidney Complaints
5. Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, JStifl' Neck,
Spinal Curvature, Hip Diseases, Cancers, Tumors
