PENSIONS FOR ALL
Republicans and Democrats Unite in
Talking and Votinsr for
LIBERAL RELIEF FOR SOLDIERS.
The Service Bill Passes the Honse Without
Anj Difficulty.
CLEVELAND STILL A LIYISG ISSUE.
Hii Celebrated Vetoes the Snljcct of a Fierce Tartisan
Drbatf.
The service pension bill passed the House
yesterday after a Ions debate. But few
members opposed the measure, but many
devoted their energies to attacking each
other. Cleveland's policy also afforded a
fivorite subject lor discussion.
"Washikgtoi.-, March 21. Pension mat
ters occupied the attention of the lower
House of Congress to-day. Mr. Cheadle, of
Indiana, spoke at length in favor of a ser
vice pension law. He explained the pro
visions of a bill authorizing a service pen
sion for life to every veteran over 50 years
of age who served GO days and was honora
bly discharged. Under the general law all
invalid pensioners who receive less than f8
a month, and all who receive no pension,
will be beneficiaries under it.
At the conclusion of Mr. Cheadle's speech
Mr. Clement, of Georgia, said that, after
listening to the speeches of gentlemen on the
other side, he was inclined to wonder why
Commissioner Tanner had been requested to
resign. The gentleman from Kansas (Mr.
Peters) had justified the action of Tanner
in putting upon the pension rolls those who
had rendered good service be'ore they had
left the army without permission. The gen
tleman had also justified Commissioner
' Tanner in increasing the $2 rate and in re
rating pensions. Then why had Tanner
been asked to resign?
A DEMOCRATIC CHARGE.
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, charged the Re
publican party with being false to its prom
ises to the country in the matter of pensions.
The Democratic Representatives from In
diana came here as friends of the soldier,
and so far as it lay in their power the Re
publicans must meet the service pension
question and no longer dodge it, and go
borne and deceive the soldiers. The Indi
ana Democrats were ready to vote on the
service pension bill. The Democrats were
determined that the Republicans should
carry out their pledges to the soldiers. The
Democrats were readv.
Mr. Buchanan, of 25ew Jersey, suggested
that this was the first time the Democrats
had been ready in five years. Mr. Cutcheon,
of Michigan, inquired "whether the Demo
crats while in control o! the House had
passed a service bill. Mr. Bynum replied
that they had not, but that they had not
gone home and asked for votes under false
pretenses.
Mr. Spinola, of Sew York, said the Re
publicans would have to face the music.
The Democrats intended to make them do
so. They intended to draw the line ot battle
on the service pension bill. The Democrats
did not intend that the Republicans should
mask themselves as the special friends of
the veterans. The Democratic party had
forced the pension rolls from 528,000,000 up
to 5100,000,000: and yet the Republicans
went on the stump and told the people that
they were the friends of the men who saved
the Union.
TANNER AN ISSUE.
The battlefield of the last election had
been in Indiana and his old friend and
comrade, Corporal Tanner, -had marched
out like a gallant veteran and advocated
tl"-platform of his party. The pledges Cor
' pVal Tanner had made had been made at
the suggestion of President Harrison. After
the pledges had been made and Indiana had
been carried lor the Republicans, Corporal
Tanner had started out to fulfill those
pledges.
Here was a gallant soldier who had left
both his legs on the battlefield. He had
been rewardedby the Republican party for
political services, and yet he had been
obliged to resign his office. Otherwise his
head would have been thrown into the
basket "Why? Because he had done what,
at the suggestion of President Harrison, he
had promised to do. That was the way the
Republican party rewarded the veterans.
Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, impressed upon
the House the necessity of thoroughly in
vestigating the workings of the Pension
Bureau. He had this morning an insulting
letter from an employe in the Pension
Office named George Baber, charging him
with a lack of information on the subject of
Mr. Bussey's rulings. 1: this man had not
been absolutely destitute of personal honor,
he would not have written a letter marked
"confidential" in order to insult him
(Euloe).
the aiississirri humorist.
Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, said that he did
not belittle the services of the Federal sol
diers. To do so would be to belittle his own.
He had been one ot the men whom they had
had to overcome, and that had been a Hercu
lean task. Laughter. He did not take
pride in the isct tnat he had to be overcome,
but he did take pride in the fact that it took
an immense force to overcome him. Laugh
ter. When he remembered that
there had been but 000,000 enlist
ments in the Confederate armv; when he
remembered that the South had no
navy, no Treasury; no stores, and when he
was told that it had a bad cause, the idea
had occurred to him that had the South had
a clean field, a fair shake, and a good cause,
it would have been a mighty bad buzz-saw
to monkey with. Laughter.
When the country came to counting
hundreds of millions for the payment of
pensions, it was weighing the money not on
the apothecary's scale, but upon the Fair
banks improved plattorm car scale.
Laughter. He did not know where this
thine was going to stop. He had a high
regard for the Government. He was mighty
sorry he had tried to break it up, but if
gentlemen were going to carry pension
legislation to its legitimate conclusion,
Congress had better stop and have an ac
counting. It looked to him as if the country
would have to let the Grand Army take the
Government. Laughter.
FOR LIBERAL TENSIONS.
Mr. Breckenndge, of Kentucky, ex
pressed himself in favor of a liberal pension
system, but opposed to the abuse of that
system and opposed to making the Pension
Bureau a great political machine. Mr.
Morrow, of Calilornia, stated that the
trouble with Commissioner Tanner was that
when he came into office he found abuses
existing in the machinery of the bureau
The fault with Mr. Tanner was that he did
not obey the recommendations of the Secre
tary of the Interior.
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that the mi
nority had suddenly become wonderfully
patriotic, and if it could only destroy the
unpatriotic record it had always made, it
would be wonderfully benefited." The gen
tleman from Kew York (Mr. Spinola) had
said that the Democratic party had run up
the appropriations for pension lrom 28,000,
000 to 5100,000,000. There was not a dollar
of that money that had been appropriated
under any general pension bill ever passed
by the Democratic party or ever signed by a
Democratic President, except that increas
ing the pension of widows. "With this ex
ception, every dollar of appropriation was
due to the patriotism of the Republican
party and its love of the soldier. v
THE MOST POPULAH DEMOCRAT.
Referring to President Cleveland's veto
of the dependent pension bill, he slid that
when Mr. Cleveland was renominated no
man had shouted louder in his behalf than
the gentleman from Indiana f Mr. Bvnuml.
And yet Grover Cleveland, who had hurled
bis veto in the faces of the soldier, was the
most popular Democrat in the United States,
and three years hence would drag the Demo
cratic party at his carwheels. The Demo
crats were not to be credited with any of the
pension legislation of the country, but they
were to be credited with the
fact that to-day there were 20,000 Union
soldiers in the poor honse, who would have
been comfortable under the bill which
President Cleveland vetoed. Every night
that these soldiers went to bed they went in
the knowledge that thev lay there smitten
by the Democratic party, because that party
never favored pension legislation except
when it was out of power. Everv wrong
done to the Union soldier had been done by
the Democratic party; every right done had
been done br the Republican party.
Mr.Tarsney, of Missouri, inquired whether
the Republicans intended to pass the de
pendent pension bill, vetoed by Mr. Cleve
land. Mr. Grosvenor replied that they
would not. They would pass a Republican
bill, a bill whicFi would not contain the
pauper features. The Republican bill
would have nothing in it to degrade the
manhood.
A DEFENSE OP GEOTEE.
Mr. Spinola suggested that a Democratic
Congress had passed the arrears and the
bill increasing the pensions of widows
from58 to 512 a month. The bill which
President Cleveland had vetoed had been
an insult to the veterans of the country. He
stated that the great bulk of the Union
army was made up from the Democratic
legions of the Xorth. This caused a sar
castic laugh on the Republican side.
Mr. Strublc, of Iowa, vigorously antago
nized a suggestion made by Mr. Bynum
that an income tax should be levied for the
purpose of paying pensions. Mr. Allen, ot
Mississippi, thought that the men who were
speculating, while the soldiers were in the
field, were bearing a part of the burden of
taxation. Gentlemen might say that an
income tax was odious to the farming
classes. They thought that it was time that
the wealth ofthe country should bear some
of the burdens of taxation. Whisky and
tobacco and incomes should bear as much as
the toil and sweat of the farmers. The
trouble with the Republican party was that
it represented incomes and not honest toil.
After further debate the bill was passed.
ITS THIRD FATALITY.
Another Death Canscd by ilio Fifth Avcnne
Traction Line A Couplin Fia Driven
Through a Boy's Heart Fall List of
Yrilerday's Cimualties.
The third death on the Fifth Avenue
Traction road occurred last evening. As
the four-car train was on it's way to the
East End at G o'clock, four boys got aboard
at Soho to steal a ride. The boys jumped
on the steps between the first and second
cars and the train had proceeded as far as the
St. Agnes' Church, when Conductor E.
Smith, who was on the front car, stepped
ont on the platform. The boys, on seeing
the conductor, all jumped off at once and
fell over each other as tbey alighted.
Patrick Maddigan, aged 11 years, fell in
such a position that the axle box of the
second car caught his head between the box
and the gronnd and smashed his skull, kill
ing him instantly. The other bovs fortun
ately escaped injury. Maddigan was picked
up and carried home on the opposite side of
the street, where the Coroner viewed the
remains.
W. H. Rockwood, the gripman, who ran
the train, and Conductors E. Smith, J.
McCompsey and George Brunner, who had
charge of the cars, after making the trip,
went to the Nineteenth ward police station
and gave themselves up to Captain
Mercer. Superintendent Davis went before
Magistrate Hyndman, and gave bail in the
sum of 51,000 for each ot the men. jtio se
cured their release until the Coroner's in
quest at 11 o'clock this morning. Rock
wood, Smith and McCompsey and a number
of citizens were witnesses to the accident, and
the Coroner has secured the address s of a
number of citizens who will be subpoenaed
on the case.
Deputy Coroner Grant Miller went to
Elrod station on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad yesterday afternoon to view the
body of a little boy who had been killed
there on the railroad. The little fellow's
name was "Winiard W. Lang. He was 11
years old, and the son of a respectable, hard
working miner. While on his way home
from school he went between a broken or
parted train to enter his house. Just as he
stepped on the track the engine backed up
the cars to make the coupling. Before the
boy could escape he was caught between the
bumpers. A coupling lint set to drop in
the draw head struck him in the breast and
was driven through his heart. The little
fellow died without a murmer. The body
was taken into the boy's house, not 20 feet
away, by the train hands.
John Coleman was I badly burned about
the head and face by an explosion in a fur
nace in Jones & Laughlin's mill. While
removing a superheated ball, Coleman's
companion, Charles Guenther, according to
custom, threw water on the metal. Some
of the fluid got into the furnace and it ex
ploded. The roof and sides were torn off
and the hot metal nas thrown into Cole
man's face. No others were injured. The
Southside Hospital doctors don't think
Coleman's burns are serious, but his eyes
are badly injured.
A Hungarian fell off a bridge at the Lucy
furnace and broke his leg. His name
could not be learned.
A horse and wagon, 'while backing up to
the dump at South Ninth street, went over
the embankment into the river. The horse
was drowned. Thompson, the driver,
jumped and saved himself.
John Wallace, 21 years old, was working
in one ofthe pits at the Lucy furnace, when
a heavy piece of hot iron fell on his head,
inflicting painful injuries.
While passing Mrs. Johnson's house, on
Rebecca street, in Allegheny, Albert Reed,
a young boy, was shot in the eye with an air
gun. The sight was destroyed. Three boys
were playing in the house, and it was doubt
less an accident.
A team ot horses ran away in the East
End with Mrs. Pen nock Hart and her
daughter. The carriage struck a lamp post,
throwing the driver to the ground, and the
wheels crushed his foot. The horses were
soon stopped and the ladies were uninjured.
0. THE WATCH.
The Robbery of a (silver Timepiece Makes
a Grcnt Deal of Trouble
Mrs. Adams, who keeps a boarding house
at the corner of Thirtieth and Smallman
streets, reported to the police yesterday that
she had been robbed of a very valuable
silver watch. Mrs. Adams stated that she
had let the watch on the mantelpiece and
went on with her household duties.
Meanwhile James Burke, a boarder, had
a visitor inthe person of Jack Lowe, and
Lotn were in the room where the watch lay.
It was subsequently learned that Burke
had been in aTwelfth ward liquor store try
ing to sell a watch that answered the de
scription of Mrs. Adams' missing watch.
Both Burke and Lowe were arrested, and
an information will be lodged against them
this morning.

THE
WHOLESALE SUICIDE.
Continued from lirst Page.
throughout the country "death chambers" as
I would term them places where people who
hare been outlawed by tho ruling class, could
go and terminate their existence by a painless
death, such as inhaling somo deadly gas (a
plan which I believe has been adopted in some
cities for tho extermination of dogs), then
cremate the bodies so as not to use any of the
surface of tho earth at their disposal (tho land
owners would probably encourage the move
ment since it does not encroach on their
domain). I say that if this plan could be put
into successful operation it woula have a bene
ficial effect in two directions: It would afford
an opportunity of escape for thousands of pco
plo whose live? are a nightmare of torture, and
at the ame time bring the horror of tho situ
ation homo to that class of people which fat
tens aud thrives under tho system that strews
the land with ghastly human wrecks, victims of
man's insatiate last lor power and piofit.
A VIVID IMAGINATION.
Imagine In all the great cities of this country
the death chamber to which 1 have referred
looming up sad and somber, with a long train
of weary, careworn people trudging thither to
find an exit from a world in which they had
been denied the poor boon of supplying their
bodily wants with the things which the labor of
their bands might produce were they not de
nied the chance to work, and let this thing con
tinue, for it would become popular, and it is
just possible that the ghastly spectacle would
touch tho heart of the ruling class and cause
tho establishment of a better system for
the people. (The people will do noth
ing for themselves.) Such a scene as
this brought constantly before the
eyes of those who have monopolized all tho
good tbings of the world, might open their
hearts and move them to united action in tho
way of ci vine more and better ounortunitics to
tho working classes. But failing in all this it
would still have a beneficial effect. It would
in time become so popular as to entirely wipe
out tho dependent classes, or at least reduco
their numbcis to such a minimum that the
wealthy non-producers would be compelled to
either engage in productive employment or ray
tho surviving producers such prices Tor their
labor as would enable them to make of their
lives a blesMng instead of a curse.
Hoping that these susgestions will result m
tho beginning of an agitation which will result
in establishing and perfecting a painless death
and a wholesale system of suicide, I do peace
fully, after many years of hard and unappre
ciated work in tho labor movement, sign my
name to this document in the proud hope that
I have finally struck tho keynote in this, tho
last, best and only remedy for poverty, and
have discovered the perfect solution of the
much vexed question of labor and capital.
M. A. COLLINS.
HIS LAST COMMUNICATION.
The above is the exact language of the
strange document left in the possession of
W. H. Jackson. The letter was not dated.
It was written in pencil, in a full, flowing
hand. Throughout the manuscript were
lines across which the pencil had been
drawn. In three instances these corrections
were ot sentences the writer had duplicated
in an absent-minded manner.
The body of a man answering in every
particular the description given of Collins
was taken from the river three weeks ago.
It was not identified and has doubtless gone
the way of countless thousands to the pot
ter's field or the dissecting table.
M. A. Collins was a character seldom met
outside the domain of fancy or romance.
Had fate grauted him other environments
he might have carved for himself a fame
commensurate with his zeal and ability.
The world does not generally stop to con
template the history of a man who takes his
own life or to inquire into the causes which
led him on. The unfortunate subject of
this sketch realized this and governed him
self accordingly. To the literature of blasted
hopes, unrequited ambition and misguided
enthusiasm he has added a manuscript
which may give in death the fame denied
him in life.
WITH THEM. NOT OF THEM.
Collins was a familiar figure in Chicago
during the exciting days when the city
slept over a volcano. He was not an
Anarchist or a Socialist, though well
versed in the doctrines of both. Believing
that the imprisoned Anarchists were being
denied a fair chance, he devoted every
moment of his time to a fruitless effort in
their behalf. He was about 42 years of age,
and a fine sDecimen of robust manhood. A
Southerner by birth and education, he was
possessed of the best traits ot the typical
Texan. With the agility and strength of
an athlete he combined the gentleness of a
woman.
In conversation Collins was singularly
fascinating. -liver enthusiastic, he pos
sessed the faculty of inspiring others with
his own unflagging zeal. To a few close
friends he related the history of his life: a
history full of exciting incidents, with
chapters of alternating triumphs and re
verses. At one time comparatively wealthy,
he saw his fortune swept away in a day. He
told of these things without any indication
of bitterness and always seemed to regard
them as in keeping with the inevitable
heritage of mankind. About a year ago a
patent which had yielded a small revenue
expired, and Collins found himself pen
niless.
A STRUGGLE TVITII POVERTY.
Educated as a gentleman and experienced
in no regular trade, he waged for months an
unequal struggle against poverty. He found
employment with W. H. Jackson, and for
six months worked at laving sidewalks.
Witn the first money saved Collins issued a
prospectus outlining what he termed "The
Industrial Co-operative Union." Asso
ciated with him was G. W. Hughes. The I
ideas enunciated in the prospectus were sub
stantially the same as those embodied in
Senator Stanford's bill now before the
United States Senate. Collins believed that
it was the duty ot the Government to loan
money on land at 1 or 2 per cent interest.
He also believed that the money power, as
he termedjt, would defeat any such measure
it ever presented" to Congress. He accord
ingly proposed that the people should ignore
the Government and institute a co-operative
system of exchange, with private banks and
a currency of their own.
In his espousal of this cause Collins was
more than usually active. With the little
money saved from his wages, Collins rented
halls and endeavored to form a society for
the spread of his theory. The new crusade
was a flat failure. The small crowds which
gathered to hear preached the new theory
went away without evincing any degree of
interest. Having reduced himself to abject
poverty, Collins again resumed the mo
notonous task of nailing down sidewalks.
His cultured mind revolted against this
work. The letter printed above sneaks for
itself. It reveals most clearlv the workings
of n mind rendered desperate bv the con
tinued frustration of cherished hopes and
exalted ambitions.
Was M. A. Collins insane when he wrote
the letter? There will be many answers to
this question.

t6riCIAL TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, March 21. There seems
to be no doubt ot the speedy removal of all
the people who have had the management
of the helpless blind in the Pennsylvania
institution that is supported by the State
in its appropriations for charities.
To-day the Legislative Commission be
gan its open sessions. The commission had
decided to prosecute a general investigation
of charitable and penal institutions, and
have summoned as the ffcst witnesses the
Board of Managers and officers of the Blind
Asylum. The commission claims to have
information that has not yet been made pub
lic, in relation to the asylum, and if
it is found necessary to take up special
lines of inquiry or individual cases the in
mates needed will be summoned. The chief
witness to-day was Harry S. Brown. He
has investigated these abuses in all their
phases, and" his testimony was listened to
with intense interest.
Senator McAleer asked the witness if he
could furnish the names ot any boys who
had been cruelly treated. He gave offhand
the names of seven.
"What were the causes which led to the
present state of affairs?" asked Mr. Dear
den. "Primarily a desire to save as much
money as possible out. of the State appro
priation. The fond was inferior and the
pnpils sat at a fourth class table, because
there are four grades of food furnished,"
Mr. Brown detailed how the spirit of
economy had caused the institution
steadily to deteriorate from what it
was under $)r. Chapin, world famous tor its
humane treatment of the blind and the ex
cellence of its instruction to its present con
dition. The school was now run on a par
simonous plan. The managers did not give
sufficient attention to the institution.
GIFT OP A SECOND FLAG.
Illayor-Elect Gonrlcy Presents n Banner to
the Soho School From John Grey Conn
cIT, Jr. O. TJ. A. M. Tenchins American
Patriotism to the Children.
Soho school, of the Fourteenth ward, was
presented with a handsome flag last night
by John Grey Council No. 249, Jr. O. U.
A. M. A large number of persons were
present, and the exercises were very pleas
ing. The building was decorated with
flags. The boards of the different rooms
were covered with specimens of the pupils'
work, and were inspected with interest.
In the large school hall a great number
were gathered. On the stage, were ranged
75 pupils under the care of Miss Louden,
the principal. Mayor-elect Gourley, W. TJ.
Ford and the Itev. Mr. Farron were also on
the stage. In the front seats were the mem
bers of John Grev Council No. 249 and
Oakland Council No. 296, Jr. O. U. A. M.
School Director William Holmes acted as
master of ceremonies.
The feature of the occasion was the pres
entation ot the flag, which was made by
Mayor-elect Gourley in behalf of John
Grey Council. Mr. Gourley referred to the
grand work performed by mechanics, the
bone and sinew of the nation, but said that
to the school teacher you make a lower bow.
She is doing a work in which she is aiding
God in the amelioration of the human race
and benefiting civilization. The 15,
000,000 school children in the country
at present will in the early part of the
twentieth century shape its future and des
tiny. Mr. Gourley then revieweJ the history of
our flag. He said that on July 1 it would
contain 40 stars with 13 stripes to represent
forever the 13 colonies.
He then presented the flag in behalf of
the Jr. O. U. A. M., and it was received bv
W. K. Ford in behalf of the school. He
said it was a pleasing duty to act for the
grandest institution ofthe world, the public
school of America. He eulogized the Jr. O.
U. A. M., saying it was an organization
that desires that the schools shall not stand
still, hut be carefully guarded and go on
progressing.
The flag is the second one presented to the
school by the Jr. O. U. A. M., who have
undertaken to keep it supplied, the first one
having worn out. Mr. George Beecber gave
a brief address on the objects of the order.
The remainder of the exercises were national
songs rendered in excellent style by the pu
pils on the stage, and national airs played
by the Allegheny City Band.
BURNED AT MIDNIGHT.
Tho U. & O. Icohonse nt Clenvrood De
stroyed by Fire No Menus nt Hnnd of
Fnttinsr Ont tho Flnmes Possible Suit
Against tho City fur Damoircs.
The icehouse of the B. & O. Kailroad at
Glenwood took fire last night about mid
night and was totally destroyed, with a
loss of about 51,000. The building was one
of the ordinary class of houses of that
description, but it was out of the range of
the fire engine of that district.
The water supply, it is said, was deficient,
and the fire had to be allowed to take its
own way. The Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany will, it is said, institute suit against
the city for the loss sustained on account of
the inadequate fire protection afforded. The
scarcity of ice in the present season, and
the small chances of getting any stock of
that frigid commodity, will probably in
crease the figures of the damages caused.
Attention was called some months ago to
the small supply of water in the Twenty
third ward, and Superintendent Brown, of
the Water Bureau, explained that there
were so many manufacturing establishments
in that locality, which used water to a large
extent, that the mills would absorb the sup
ply in a case of necessity, such as a fire, and
would not shut down work to give the fire
men a chance.
He had called attention to this fact sev
eral times, but the water supply remained
the same, and perhaps other buildings wilt
have to burn down, as he predicted, if the
mains are not enlarged in that vicinity.

Jack McAulifTe and Jimmy Carroll foneht
a desperate battle at San Francisco. The
betting was extremely heavy at 2 to 1 on
McAulifTe. The fighting was terrific, and
both were terribly punished. The attend
ance was large and great excitement pre
vailed. ISFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
San Fbancisco, March 21. There was
not an empty seat in the big room of the
California Athletic Clnb this evening when
Jack McAulifTe and Jimmy Carroll com
menced their battle.
McAulifTe weighed 134J pounds, Carroll
135X pounds. As they toed the scratch
McAulifTe seemed to have a shade the bet
ter reach, while his opponent appeared to
be the sturdier of the pair. The New
Yorker was the first to lead. After a little
preliminary sparring he shot out his left
hand, catching Carroll lightly orftjtfe jaw
and rushing him to his corner, where an
even exchange of light blows took place.
NOT A VACANT SEAT.
As early as 6 o'clock this evening specta
tors began to assemble at the gymnasium of
the California club, and two hours later
there was not a vacant seat in the large
building, fully 2,000 persons being present.
The betting became more brisk this even
ing, thongh the Carroll men still persisted
in their demands for 2 to 1, and
considerable money was placed at those
odds. Among the heaviest bets made was
one of $2,000 to J1.000 on McAulifTe. Pre
vious to the contest an effort was made to
pass a resolution instructing the Board of
Directorsto arrange a match between Joe Mc
AulifTe and Peter Jackson, but the club de
cided to leave the matter in the hands ot the
directors.
It was nearly 9 when the contestants, ac
companied by their seconds, appeared in the
ring. McAulifTe was the first to step over
the ropes. Both men were received with
much enthusiasm.
Time was called at 9:10 and the fight pro
ceeded as follows:
THE BATTLE BEGINS.
In the first round McAuliffe opened with a
rnsh, but Carroll escaped by dodging, he follow
ing this in a moment and reached Carroll's
neck three times with his right. McAuliffe
made another rush and again fonnd Carroll's
neck: the men clinched and the round closed.
Second round Carroll opened by a rush on
McAuliffe and jagged his jaw several times.
McAuliffe returned a hot right; hand blow in
Carroll's ribs and followed it up with a swing
on the neck. Carroll countered with a hard
left one on Mac's jaw. The men then sparred
cautiously till the close of the round.
Third round Tho men sparred full a minute
and then Mac led out with his left catching
Carroll under the chin, repeating it before
Carroll bad recovered from bis first shock and
a clinch followed. Carroll then tried a bard
swing but Mac dodged. In tbo clinch that
followed McAuliffe received a sharp upper cue
IN MAC'S FAVOR.
Fourth round McAuliffe reached Carroll's
ear with his right and then gave him a vicions
upper cut with his left. McAuliffe made a
half-dozen terrific lunges, all of which Carroll
escaped by clean dodging until just before the
round closed, when he received a sharp rap in
toe nos ana immediately countered onaic
Auliffe's jaw.
In the fifth round McAuliffe aimed for Car
roll's jaw, but received a bard jab on the
month, which sent him down on bis knee. He
rose at once and several rallies followed, in
which Carroll received a left-hander in the
neck.
Sixth McAuliffe again caught Carroll in the
jaw with a hard right-hander and followed it
up witn two stinging oiows on tne wind.
McAuliffe continued to play for his opponent's
wind and reached there several times with
marvelous rapidity.
Seventh round McAuliffe continued the
same tactics and landed two more left hand
blows on Carroll's body. Somo sharp fighting
at close qnarters followed, in which neither
had any advantage. McAuliffe continued to
do most of the leading, but Carroll escaped
much punishment by clever dodging.
SOME HEAVY TODNDING.
Eighth round There was little done till near
the close, when thero was a sharp rally, in
which the latter received considerable pound
ing. Ninth McAuliffe's advantage in reaching
had served him well so far. There was another
hot rally in this round in which Carroll brought
a little blond from Mac's forehead.
McAuliffe again rushed the fighting in tho
tenth round and landed on Carroll's ribs
several times, though the blows were not hard.
McAuliffe had a narrow escape from a swinging
right hander which just grazed his ear. He
responded with a terrific right swing on
Carroll's jaw.
Eleventh round Mac opened the round with
a hard left hander on Carroll's stomach, hut re
ceived in return a terrific jah in the mouth.
McAuliffe then caught Carroll in the nose, and
the latter again countered ou the neck.
Twelfth round This was tho shortest round
of tho fight so far. There was a hot rally, in
which a number of blows were exchanged. A
clinch followed, in which the men fell heavily
to tho floor, McAuliffo on top. Carroll rose,
and some terrific slugging at close quarters
followed, until both men were very gory. Car
roll here scored a clean Knock-down by landing
on Mac's jaw.
CAB BOLL'S STAGGERING BLOWS.
In the thirteenth round both men fought
hard for a knork-out, althongh they were very
tired. McAuliffe did most of the rushing, but
just bofore the round closed Carroll gave him
a staggering blow on the jaw which almost
sent him to the floor.
Carroll seemed to bo the fresher when the
men came up for the fourteenth round. They
sparred carefully and there was little done dur
ing tho first half of the round. Then Mac
landed with bis left on Carroll's check, the
latter countered with a light tap on Mac's
jaw.
Fifteenth round Mac again fonnd Carroll's
wind hard. Just before tho round closed Car
roll forced matteis, catching Mac heavilyin tho
wind and again in the jaw. The latter saved
himself from further punishment by a clinch.
Sixteenth round Mac landed well witli his
lone left, and prevented Carroll from getting
closo enough to him to do much damage with
his right. Carroll now seemed to be tho
stronger man. 'Little was dono in this round
beyond a right hand sting on Carroll' ribs
from Mac's right.
The seventeenth round opened with a short
rallv, with honors about even. Both men were
evidently very tired, and little else was dono
during the round.
The men clinched in the eighteenth, and as
they broke away Carroll nnper-cut Mac
viciously and then gave him several right and
left handers which staggered lnm perceptibly.
Mac closed the ronnd with a left hand punch
on Carroll's mouth.
Nineteenth But little damatrc was done in
the nineteenth until just at the close, when
Mac reached Carroll's nb3 three times and
each time received a sharp counter in the necK
wnicn staggerca mm.
MAC DOING niS BEST.
Twentieth Mac resumed punching opera
tions on Carroll's body with but little effect.
Carroll feinted seveial times, but made littlo
effort to lead.
Twenty-first Mac landed a hard right
hander on Carroll's jaw. and attempted to fol
low it np with his left. Carroll escaped by a
cfevr dodge. A moment later, however, Mao
reached his neck, and then gavo bun a left
hand swing in the ribs.
Twenty second Mac again reached Carroll's
neck. Iho latter tried to return tlio Wow, but
Mac jumped away. Carroll next staggered
back from a right-hander on the cbeck. Car
roll attempted pivot blow several times, but
failed to reach Mac, as the latter ducked
cleverly.
Twenty-third Carroll gave Mac a left-hand
swing full in the mouth.
Twenty-fourth Mac landed hard en Car
roll's wind twice and received a hot one in the
throat.
Twenty-fifth Eoth men did considerable
leading, but tho blows were light, with the ex
ception of one right-hander of Carroll's which
caught Mac on the car hard.
A TAME EOTJND.
The twenty-sixth round was, very tame, but
,22, 1890.
in the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth thero
was some sharp lighting at close quarters, in
which McAuliffe had the advantage. He
pounded Carroll about the neck and body until
the latter staggered under his blows.
In the next two rounds thero was some moro
heavy bitting with" very littlo advantage to
either men.
M-The result of the fight is uncertain at 3:10.
A later edition will give full particulars.

West Chester, March 21. Dr. James
Atkin died to-day at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. J. Davis Ashbridge, in West
Goshen, N. Y., in the 96th year of his age.
He was born in New Castle county, Del.,
and after studying medicine in New York
City, began practice in Chester county,
Pa., in 1830. He had quite an eventful
life having once been attacked in the West
by Indians during the Black Hawk war,
and during his youneer days was employed
as a surveyor by the United States Govern
ment, and completed the running
of the lines for the Government in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and as far south
as Texas. His surveys were of the Western
Reserve in Ohio and the Territorial lands
of the West, where now prosperous cities
stand, and later he established the meridian
at Indianapolis.
After completing his surveying labors
in the last mentioned city he purchased a
corner near where the State Capitol now
stands, for which he gave a half worn pair
of shoes, and on which he soon afterward
realized quite handsomely. On his trip
home to Chester county, shortly
after, he was in an explosion on a
steamboat, in which George Kinnard, the
first Congressman from the district including
Indianapolis, was killed. When President
Jackson was inaugurated the first time, he
rode on horseback from this section to
Washington to witness the ceremonies, and
was introduced to the General by the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.
