Park To-Day.
"What the pugilistic talent irould call a
"rattling" prize fight took place early yes
terday morning, between "William Bissell,
of MclCeesport, and George Gillen, of Mans
field. It is some time since a local fistic
argument was fraught with so many features
of old-time bruising as the one in question,
ana tlie few who saw it couldn't well desire to
tee livelier scenes of gore. The battle was for
KOOasideaud J300 of sate receipts. Queens
berry rules governed and two-ounce gloves were
used. The battle ground was on a boat "far
from the inaddmc crowd." Nobody aboard
the boat seemed to be able to tell just where it
was located when the fight took place. It was
on the uhio river, but whether it was in Ohio,
Pennsylvania or West Virginia waters was a
puzzle that nobody could solve.
There were about 110 spectators at the fight,
made up of all sorts and conditions of men
from the honest politician to the chuck-a-luck
manipulator. Of the number named 00 paid S5
each to board the boat. The "crowd" left
Union depot at 12:05 yesterday morning, and
journejed to Rochester, where the boat was
buarded. Once aboard all was serene, as re-Jie-hments
and Hasks were numerous. The
boat sieamed off. and was soon enveloped in a
dense foi. The principals ereputto bed,
and during their rest of about three hours
there were lots of fun.
THE IIUUISIXC STARTS.
Shortly after 4 lo'clock the bruisers and their
seconds appeared in a ring formed on the bare
deck of tho boat. The ring was about 21 feet.
William Simpson was selected to carry out the
cry thankless duties of referee. Bisell was
attended bv a McKee-port man, while a Mans
field citizrn esquired Gillen. The latter
weighed 147 pound, and Bissell was a pound
heavier. Gillen certainly looked in the better
condition, as lbssell was much too finelvdraun.
This fact nearly lost the AlcKeesport man the
battle. Juat before the procecdincs 6tarted
betting was britk.it S10 to $8 on Bissell. The
referee introduced the contestants and added:
"Now, gentlemen, we want no remarks.
These two men are friendlv, but are going to
Jisht. We want no more. D'je hear that?"
This oratonal effort was creeted with cheers,
but the muse which subsequently followed
showed that there was no respect at all for the
referee, and the battered faces and bruised bod
ies showed that theirs must have been a very
f unnv friendship.
The battle lasted five rounds or nearly 20
minutes and for banging, thumping; smashing
and rolling over few if any have excelled it.
From start to finish the contestants simply
b-mered away at each other's bodies and faces
without intermission except during the minute
at end of each round: indeed, it was surprising
that human nature under the circumstances
could hold out so lone
THEEE WAS LITTLE SCIENCE.
The first round showed that neither man had
much regard for science, and they banged
awav at each other just like two energetic
blacksmiths at work. Bissell, to use a phrase,
handled himself much better than the young
man from Mansfield, but the latter insisted on
giving one in return for everyone he got. He
used his right baud with great success, while
Bissell kept pegging away at Bissell's nb.
Whatever hnnortheir was in hrst blood Gillen
got it by cutting Bissell's mouth. The round
ended ic favor of Gillen, and even money was
bet on his chances of victory.
Jn tho pext round, however, Gillen was
almost beaten into a helpless mass. His face
was knocked out of shape and his body
bruised. Once or twice he stood dazed and
exhausted amid the yells ot his friend- urging
the poor fellow on. He rallied and thumped
IJi-sell around until the latter's month and
ryes were iwful to look at. The argument
continued, and in the third round Gillen ap
peared more vigorous than ever He fought
Bissel' round and round the ring, knocking
his fare into a mass of blood. Bissell now
fctood sull. with his hands down, and looked a
most pitiable object.
AS EXCITING SCENE.
His wind had failed him. but Gillen was ac
tually so stupid and blind himself that, instead
of going in entirelj lor Bissell's gore, he mads
his waj to Bissell's rorner, the opposite direc
tion to where Bissell was standing. The yells
and shouts of the crowd were deafening Gil
len had a chance to settle the affair, but his
senses were so much battered out of bim that
he didn't know which way to turn. They closed
again, and Bsell was knocked to his knees by
a swinging right-hand blow
From this tage on the affair was simply a
question of brute strength. Each blindly
ttruck out at the other as long as human na
ture would stand it. Clinch after clinch took
place amid the most Indian-like yells of the
crowd. Both men were cut and bleeding ter
ribl and when the fiftn round was halfthrongh
Gillen reallv seemed to have more life in him
than hisopponent The were as glaa to clinch
as a drowning man is to grasp a life bouy, and
dnrngnne of their clinches near the ropes
they both toppled over the r pe, Gillen under
most, ills head struck the deck violently and
be became unconscious. He lay in that con
dition for nearly a minute and the fight was
awarded to Bissell. Oh! what wild scenes fol
lowed. The party returned to the city at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The principals presented
a sorry appearance.
AK0THEE BETJTAX BATTLE.
Tommy Kynn Defeat Con Doile in a Des
perate Prize Ficlit
Chicago, October 5. One of the most brutal
fistic encounters on record took place this
morning in a barn near Shelby, Ind.. a small
town about 75 miles from Chicago. The con
testants weie Tommy Ryan, of Grand Rapids,
lightweight champion of Michigan, and Con
Dojle, a local pugilist of Chicago. The fight
was for a purse of $500, to a finish, with two
ounce gloves. Marquis of Qucensbcrry rules.
Rvau stripped at L7 pouuds, while Doyle
weighed in at 136.
Billy Mcer, who was to second K-,an, tele
graphed from Peoria late last night that ho
would not be present, owing to having missed
the train. George Siddons and Bill Richards
acted as Ryan's seconds, and Harry Gilmore
ana Frank Girard did the honors for Dojle;
Malaclu Hogan acted as referee.
Time was called at 4:05. The battle, which
lasted 27 rounds, was for blood from the start.
Rau was evidently the more scientific of the
two, xnmagiug to avoid Dole's hravv left
handers, and in truth Hammering Dole's face
and body almost into mince meat," Before
time was called in the twenty -eighth round,
Doyle, whose eyes were nearly closed, jumped
from his seat, staggered toward Iljan'e corner
almost crazed, wanting to fight it out in rough
and tumble stvle. Gilmore tben threw up the
tponge, and Rjan was declared the winner.
The mill lasted 1 hour and 55 minutes.
Will Mnn in To-Dny.
The members of the Allegheny Athletic
Club will commence football practice at Expo
sition Park this afternoon. A good turnout is
expected, if the weather is fine, as the practice
is to enable tho committee to select a team for
next Saturdays game. The new club is boom
ing, aud members' subscriptions are flowing in
much faster than even the most sanguine ex
pected. The entrance fees of ten new mem
bers were received on Saturday, and more are
expected this week. Secretary Dansen states
that there is more money in the club's treasury
now than will pay the season's expenses.
A Clin Hence to Feilci.
The following challenge of a somewhat novel
nature was received at this office last evening:
Seeing that Mr. Foden, who is to appear at
the Academy of Music this week, claims to be
the champion one-hand balancer of the world,
I am prepared to balance htm in that style for
a gold medal; that is, I will undertake to dupli
cate bis tricks better than he can duplicate
mine. I will contest against him in private In
presence of two umpires and a referee and a
lew friends on each side, or 1 will meet him in
public I will meet Mr. Foden at The Dis
patch office at II o'clock Tuesday night.
"JOHSTODD."
Broke the Record.
Boston, Mass., October 5. The 25 mile bi
cycle road race, under the auspices of the
Boston Athletic Association, yesterday was
made interesting by the breaking of the
amateur record for that distance by W. Van
Wagoner, of the New York Athletic Club, in
1 hour 26 minutes 55 seconds, who started from
i-cratch. The best previous time was that of
A, A. McCnrdy, at Waltham, in 1SS6, but yes
terday's record was fully 5 seconds lower and
was made over a muddy road.

Ten in in Cincinnati.
Washington, October 5. President Tonng,
of the National Baseball League, in an inter
view published this morning says:
"At a meeting of the magnates of the League,
to be held on the 8th instant, all phases of the
baseball sitnation will be discussed, and in the
event of a sale of the Cincinnati club having
been determined upon, arrangements will be
perfected looking toward a new League team
for that city. This Is only contingent, however,
upon a bona fide sale of Mr. Stern's holding,
for he cannot dispose of the fraucnise which
the League holds for Cincinnati."
Mr. Young intimates that when the League
plans are perfected at the coming meeting,
their announcement is likely to surprise Its
opponents. .

THE LAST HOUKS OF TEE OLD LAW.
Receipts Double the Usual Amount for the
Entire Week,
AYEEAGING A MILLION ETEEI DAT
New Yoke, October 6. Keeping the
Custom House open until midnight last
night, it is estimated by careful authorities,
saves the merchants and others 5250,000 and
costs Uncle Sam that much. So great was
the interest to have goods entered not later
than yesterday that entire invoices in all
their details were cabled from Enropfe.
This was done Because captains of steam
ships can enter them at the Custom House
much quicker than merchants can receive
their invoices, which usually arrive ou the
same steamship as the goods.
Great was the joy of the importers and of
the Inman people when the City of Chicago
came racing into quarantine at o o clock.
The agents of the line had a tug ready.
Captain Redford slid over the side of the
steamship, and the tug, with full steam up,
ploughed the waters of the lower bay, and
made about the fastest record of any tug to
the Barge Office. A cab was there for Cap
tain Redford, and he was driven lickity
split to the Custom House. He was in his
uniform, and he grasped the vessel's entry
papers as he strode into the rotunda. He
was quickly
SUEEOUNDED BY THE MOB
of howling brokers and merchants and im
porters who had goods on the City of Chi
cago. In response to their cheers he lifted
his cap, and in another moment he plumped
the papers down on to the desk ot Deputy
Collector Gunner, who, with Chief Clerk
Dunn, was awaiting his arrival. They
were quickly signed, and the brokers, after
giving another cheer for the captain, flocked
to Deputy Collector Stanwood's desk: and
deluged him with their entries for goods on
the steamship.
In the height of the hubbub another
rolling cheer went up as Captain Grund
tiech, of tde St. Regulus, came in with his
papers of entry lor bis steamship. He had
been taken off in a tug at quarantine. The
papers were signed, and recorded a second
piece of luck of the Inman people. The St.
Regulus is a regular Red Star boat, but for
this trip she has been chartered by the In
man Company. The brokers and mer
chants and importers having goods on her
poured in their entries on Deputy Stan
wood, and he, with nis chief clerk, Judge
Quackenbush, made things hum in passing
them.
All this time the brokers and importers
having goods on the Etruria were in terri
ble suspense. She had not been sighted,
and the delay in her arrival would cost'
these merchants many thousands of dollars.
They did not despair, even though they
knew that it was a five-hour trip from Fire
Island to quarantine, and it was then after
6 o'clock, and the Custom House would
surely be closed at midnight, Tbe same
anxiety was felt about tbe Zaandam, but
nothing had been heard of this ship, either.
no time to see the comte.
Collector Erhardt sent his excuses to Gen
eral Butterfield, the host of the Comte de
Palis, for the dinner at the Union Club, and
went out and got what he says was the cold
est duck he ever tasted. "It tasted like tal
low." he remarked. His special deputy, Mr.
Couch, went to his home in Brooklyn, but
both were back at their desks by 8 o'clock.
Deputy Phelps was on band, and he
probably had the most peculiar ex
perience of the day. Many of
the importers, in order to make
sure of their position, wanted to pay in cash
the duties on the goods which were entered
after 3 o'clock yesterday, the hour from
which the Collector's new departure was
made. Mr. Phelps says be has never been
noted for his wealth, and he never so much
appreciated the fact as last yesterday after
noon and all last evening. Tne importers
begged him to accept in cash the duties on
the goods entered after the closing of the
cashier's office.
The importers had big rolls of $1,000 bills
with them, and they thrust them into the
face of Mr. Phelos, begging him to accept
them and give them receipts. All told tbey
fired at him 5300,000. Indeed, the import
ers were almost Irantic when the deputy re
fused to accept their money and informed
them that inasmuch as their entries were
all right it was not necessary to tender bim
the money, but to hand it to the cashier to
day. But many ot them were so urgent as
to insist upon the deputy giving them writ
ten notices to the effect that they had ten
dered the duties aud that they had been re
lused. This would secure them in cases of
legal complications.

There were a number of tugs waiting off
the health officer's pier at quarantine last
night for various vessels expected Rfrom
Europe. Each tug captain had'orders to
takeoff the captain of the vessel he was
waiting for and bring him with all dispatch
to the city that the ste imer might be en
tered at the Custom House before midnight.
The tug Mutual had steam up to meet the
steamer Bessarabia, expected from
Mediterranean ports with a costly
rargo. The .tug H. C. Cheney
had a man at the quarantine tele
graph office whose duty it was to signal the
Cheney as soon as tbe Netherlands-American
steamer Zaandam was reported off the
bar. The Zaandam left Rotterdam on Sep
tember 17, three days before the Werken
dam, of the same line, which arrived yes
terday, left Amsterdam. The Zaandam,
like her sister ship, has on a heavy cargo of
Sumatra tobacco, on which the increase in
dutv, according to the new tariff, will be
51 25 per ponnd. Up, to 11 o'clock, how
ever, the Zaandam had not been reported.
The tug Vulcan was on hand to keep a
sharp lookout for the Mediterranean steam
er Peconic, and the tug John C. Carnie was
waiting for the Thingvalla steamer Thing
valla, due here from Copenhagen. There
was
JOT AMONG THE -MEBCHANTS
and brokers having interests in the Cunard
steamer Etruria's cargo when that vessel
was reported outside Sandy Hook bar at
half-past 9 o'clock last night," A number of
dry goods men had been waiting at the
Cunard pier and at the Bowling Green
office of the line to hear from the steamer.
The Etruria plowed on her way to quar
antine, where a tug was waiting to take off
Captain Haines. A cab with two fast horses
was also waiting at the Battery to receive
the Captaiu as soon as he landed. The
Eturia reached quarantine at 11 o'clock.
The crowd in the rotunda during the even
ing iraj if anything, more dense that that
which filled it during the afternoon, and the
wait for the incoming of the expected steam
ers was a long and dreary one. The im
porters had made special -arrangements for
bringing Captain Haines, of the Etrnria,
to the Custom House as soon as he lauded
at the Barge Office, and Deputy Collector
Gunner, of the Navigation division, ex
pected him at 11:15 o'clock. '-
"I'll give $100 to have that clock set back
ten minutes us they do in Congress," yelled
an excited broker at 11:45 o'clock. "I'd
gladly set it back if I bad tbe
authority," said Mr. Gnniierl"batXbaTe
no right to ao it, and at midnight precisely
this divisiou will be closed."
From that time on all the brokers had
their watches in their bands, and their eyes
turned toward the door.
JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME.
"He'll be here before the clock strikes,"
said an enthusiastic broker who represented
a house having a big invoice on board tbe
Etruria, relerring of course, to Captain
Haines, of that ocean racer.
Deputy Collector Gunner had turned
down the gas, at the desk and had began to
call out, formally, "The custom house is
closed," when there was a commotion and
burst of cheering at the door, and belore
Mr. Gunner uttered the word "closed," the
crowd parted and Captain Haines, accom
panied by his purser, entered the rotunda.
Deputy Collector Gunner had left his desk
when the Captain made his appearance, but
sat down at mother nearer the door as soon
as he recognized him, and in a twinkling
the ship's papers were signed and her cargo
was guaranteed against the duties decreed
by the McKinley bill. It was about the
closest shave on record, and Captain Haines
amply deserved the enthusiastic cheers that
greeted him.
Just how much of the merchandise on
board the Etruria escapes tbe exactions of
the McKiuley bill by the entrance of tbe
vessels not known, but all the brokers had
their papers ready and accommodating;
hence it may be inferred that tbe clearance
was comparatively complete.
The Z.iandam's captaiu did not make his
appearance in time, and those who had
goods on board of that vessel must pay their
duties under the new law.
A BITTER EDITORIAL
CAUSES A DCAL OF COMMENT AMONG
THE CITIZENS OF RICHMOND.

bine U'hilo People While on Hl nunt.
lag Trip.
rFPECIAt, TKLIOEAM TO TUB OI8FATCH.1
Richmond. Va., October 5. A good
deal of comment has been caused here by
the following bitter editorial on President
Harrison in the Richmond Stale:
Some months ago President Harrison en
tered the borders of Virginia and did some bog
shooting. A few Richmond gentlemen went
aboard his vacht and tendered an him invitation
to dine in this city. In return for their courtesy
they were snubbed by tbe President, whose
general conduct on that occasion indicated a
want of breeding, for which a corn-field negro
would have been tabooed by bis associates.
While the visitors were aboard the yacht the
President was summoned to dinner, and be
and bis friends coolly turned away from the
Richmonders wlthont even asking them to
join in tbe repast. It is now statod that tbe
President has informed a committee of colored
men of thi city that he will attend the eman
cipation celebration here in the middle of the
month. He is so anxious to come that he said,
despite another engagement, he would stop
here "even if it was only for an hour."
Thus it is seen that President Harrison, while
willing to snub the white men of Richmond,
graciously accepts the invitation of the colored
men of Richmond. In view of this fact, it is
hoped that white citizens will not intrude them
selves upon his Excellency. If they do. and
get snubbed, they will only get what they
deserve. He will be tbe guest of tbe
colored people of this town. Of course Rich
mond housekeepers should not interfere
if their cooks, butlers, chambermaids anl
washerwomen choose to entertain Mr. Harri
son in the kitchen. Pot liquor and fried cab
bage, middling and any other dishes especially
tickling to tbe newly-enfranchised palate,
may not be unwelcome to the Prei
dental taste. No considerate Richmond
housekeeper will begrudge the colored
servants tbe pleasure of a social time with
their friend from Washington. Tbo .nurse
will doubtless be allowed an evening off, no hot
supper will be demanded from the cook, and
the chambermaid will be permitted an early
absence to join with her chum, tbe washer
woman, in the alley soiree, where she will have
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Harrison. He will
come in by the back gate. If he wishes to see
the gentlemen of the house be must take off
his hat and wipe his feet carefully upou tbe
mat, tben wait until he Is spoken to. This is
tbe only way for Richmond white men to re
ceive Benj. Harrison this time.
CHEAP AND HEALTHY.
Separated Milk, nnd Jam Mnbe a Good
Enoimb Diet for Anybody '
British Medical Journal.
Mr. Gladstone baB reminded the world
that "separated milk" is a highly nourish
ing and most valuable article of food. At
present immense quantities of it which
could not be put to better use than in aid
ing the direct food supplies of the popula
tion are thrown to the pigs or disposed of at
nominal rates for mixed trade purposes.
Separated milk, it is almost needles to say,
contains all the milk except the tat, which
is converted into butter. Now, fat is a very
necessary thing for infants, for children and
infants cannot do without it. But children
and adults can easily find other means of
getting the required hydrocarbon, either in
tbe form of suet, lard, sugar or jam.
Very few people, perhaps, know how
large a part cheap jam plays in the feeding
of the poor school child. The cheapness of
sugar and the great abundance of cheap
fruit preserve are playing a most important
and, indeed, an invaluable part in the feed
ing of the children of the artisan, the laborer
and the cottager. It is surprising, but satis
factory, to see nowadays how the child
brings to school a hank of bread and
jam. There is no better form of hydro
carbon. Separated milk and cheap: jam
are additions of vast national importance to
our dietary; and not ior children alone.
Hence the aavice to the cottager diligently
to cultivate bis fruit trees, and to hold sep
arated milk in high esteem, is as sound
economic and physiological advice as a
statesman can give, and he does well who
lends to it the emphasis of popular power.
HIS HEART WAS WE0HG.
A Man With His Vit il Orgnns Ont of Place
Fnnnd in n Dissecting Kaotn.
Philadelphia Kecord. 1
A man with his heart on the right side,
and bis internal arrangements generally
wrong, fell under the knife of the doctors at
the University of Pennsylvania a few days
ago. Dr. Thomas C. Clark, while dissect
ing and demonstrating upon the body of a
man, probably 50 years old, discovered a
complete inversion of the abdominal and
thoracic viscera, the peculiar nature of
which is that tbe heart, instead of being on
tbe left side, was found to be on the right,
and the aorta, or great artery, instead of
arching to the right, turned to the left.
Upou further examination it was found
that the stomach and spleen were also ou
the right side, while the liver, instead of
being on the right, was on the left side
a complete inversion of these organs.
Dr. Joseph Leidy, LL., D., the eminent
scientist aud professor of anatomy in the
University of Pennsylvania, visited the dis
secting rooms and, after a thorough ex
amination, said there was a complete trans
version of the organs and a most wonderful
anomaly. He stated that in all prabability
there was not a similar case in existence.
The cadaver was afterward presented to
the University and placed in the' museum.

Redwood, Cal., October 5. A sensa
tional suicide occurred here this morning.
Last mgbt Louise Esslinger, aged 22, was
married to George Wehrlin, at the residence
of C. Groner, her uncle. At 4 o'clock she
and her husband were driven to their resi

mainder of the night.
On again entering his house at 6 o'clock
