Yesterday there was a good and honest dd-time prize fight on hand. Whether it look place or whether it did not had no cSect on Ohio's election or the morals f the country. All thai there was in it to this: Abiut 30 of the most promi nent business men ot Pittsburg promised lo put up S10 each to see the two men in question fight according to London prize Ting rules. Some of these prominent busi ness wen and their f 10 bills appeared at a iBslie spot about 80 miles from Pittsburg yesterday. The delinquents missed a treat fa their particular way, because one of the best London prize ring rule fields tha,t has foeen seen in many years was that of yester day. STOI'l'EI) AT A STATION'. The train that carried the fighters and tpertators stopped at a station, the name of which nobody professed to know. Every body guecd. and a man who suggested "No Man's Claim," was very badly hurt. But the fighters aud the few spectators got to one of the prettiest spots that nature could have arranged for two young men to settle a fi.-tic argument. Xot a stranger in terfered until the venerable farmer, a Meth odist, bv the war, who was an old man, ap peared at the ring side in his own field, and said: ""Why they have a little spite." It was the lat round but one, and the fooocst owner of the territory and the mot law abiding citizens of that part of the country said as the men came up for the last round: "Why. I would have given a ten-acre lot to have seen the hoys begin this." As a token of respect the stakes and buckets were left on the turf, and the farmer -nt them. The fight was between Jack Dexter and Jlarrv Leonard. The former fought at 131 poinds and the latter at 113. Dexter was seconded by Hilly Simpson and Bilson Jack, and Leonard was ably looked after by "Keddy" Mason and the veteran Etl. Thomas. Both men were seconded well, hut winners alwavs have the call. Strange to say BiUon .lack was remarkably quiet, possibly because he had Simpson with him. Two men could not have fought in a more picturcsuue place than did Leonard and Dexter. Everything connected witli the surroundings contributed to the pleasure, oil wells included. rouGitT ron 37 bounds. The young men met and they fought 37 rounds. They fought according to the old Etrle of lighting on the turf with hare jistsandout of tlie way from civilization. The first round was a terrific one. Leonard .lad the bet of it. He nad the lead off and had slightly the best of the exchange. But the "counters" of the first round told on Leonard's frail body. The contest went on, much to the enjoy ment of the majority of Pittsburg's be'st business men, and continued with responses to time of each man, notwithstanding an infliction or two. and the battle continued Bntil the 30th round. In all this time Dex ter had the bet of it. He was the stronger, hat neither man displayed a knowledge of having been taught by a good man in the basiness. From the first round until the thirtieth the winner had the bc-t of it. At the thirty-sixth round Leonard was knocked down, and in the thirty-seventh he went dawn and his second threw up the sponge. Leonard objected but lie was beaten. THE WIXNEK 1IADLV IJEATEN". Dextcr's hands are all knocked out of joint. He won. but he is a badly punished Bran when liU injured hands and the bruises inflicted by Leonaru are taken into consid eration. Leonard a beaten from the fifth loand because his wind began to fail him, sad lie could not inflict any pun ishment. Leonard was at stages the better boxer, but Dexter forced him to hammer and tongs exchanges. In these Leonard always took the worst of it. Neither man knows how to hit another corrcctlv in a pugilistic sense. Leonard can use his hand's better than Dexter and both need much teaching about fighting a battle. Yet their battle was one of the best of its kind that ha taken place since old Joss Goss and Paddy Itvan fought. In yes terday's fight Leonard in the thirty-seventh round, amid all the talk of Goss "and Mace and other people, wa hit so hard in the etomach that he collar.sed. He died game and he shouted against the sponge being thrown tip. Hi seconds saw that his wind was gone and that it was only cruelty to continue tiic battle longer. AT TERHE HAUTE. The X'auioas Trotters ami PrMrr Have a Hot Argument There. Ttebe IIaite, lM,Oct.9. Theraccs ended with dnrkne-s and with the bet event of llio week. The srent event of the day was tiic free-for-all pace carried over from yes terday, in which the fastest even heats ever gone in a race were made. Grant's Abdullah, who yesterday -howed phenomenal speed, was a hot favorite, hut Roy Wilkes took the first Iicnt to-day. and Guy, a 1G to 1 shot, won the three last heats and the race, making n phenomenal finish in the first heat be won.

Arter the second heat of the 2:24 trot, Pel inarch.by Mambrino.went against his record 2:12 made last week In the. third heat of a a race. liudd Dohle was up behind the hand some iKiy horse, and at the second attempt nodded for the word. It was a bcnutifully rated mile. The quarter waii done in 33 sec onds, the half in 1:0R, three-quarters In 1:3!3, and the mile in 2:llJi. There was lusty cheering when the time was hum; out, thcro having been little houe that, with so cold a day and track so hard, the stallion conld equal his record. Charleston had the speed ot ttip pnrty in the iree-for-all trot and won as he pleased. All the stables will be shipped to-ntght to Lexington.

More than 3,000 people to-daj- saw the bay stallion, Egthorne, in the third and final heat of a race brake the rec ord of Timlico track. He toot it down from 2:1 the Pavonia mark, to 2JS. The bay mare Instant was a close second, and pressed Egthorne so hard that the whip was used freely upon the stallion. Ho took it without a waver. Thebigficld in tho 2:23 class and very likely a justifiable desire on tho part of the management that the autumn meeting of the Plmllco Club shonldbe ended on Satur day may be acceptable excuses for miser able starts. But Hazel and Tom Farrell were distanced as a consequence. Mr. Carlos M. I)e Ganncndia.of Doubs, Md., won handilv with his brown stallion Kioto. Tho fourth and deciding heat in the un finished 257 class nice of yesterday was won and a rousing cheer was given the victor. His time was 2:20.

It is also said that the Association intends to attack the League in most of the cities where heretofore the League has had full sway. New York and Brooklyn are to be included in the new circuit. It is said many promincnt baseball magnates who have been until now identified with the League, and who have grown dissatisfied with the new regime prevailing with tho League, will next year cast their fortunes with the Association.

MIN0E NEWS FROM TOE THREE STATES f SPECIAL TELEOnAM TO THE DISPATCJt.l Johnstown, Oct. 9. At a large meeting of citizens to-night the committee appointed at a previous citizen's meeting presented resolutions on the death of William 31c Creery, of Pittsburg, and "William H. Kem hle, of Philadelphia. A large number of prominent citizens were present, and sev eral speeches were made eulogizing those friends of Johnstown in the time of her direst needs. A. J. Moxham, President of the Johnson Company, who to-day returned from a three months' trip to Europe and who was Chair man of all committees during the first days of the flood, spoke highly of the character of Mr. McCreery, characteriziug him as the most unselfish man he had ever met, with a big heart always overflowing with kindness. Mayor Rose, District Attorney O'Connor, Cvrus Elder. .Tames MoMiller. Dr. "Wagoner, Rev. Mr. Bates and others spoke in highly eulogistic terms of both men. Of Mr. Kimble the resolutions spoke in the warmest of terms, while of Mr. McCreery the resolu tion said: In the death of William McCreery the peo ple of Johnstown deplore the loss of a most faithful friend, personally and intimately known to many of them, and gratefully re membered for his disinterested services rendered in tills community. As Chairman of the Pittsburg Committee"for the Relief of Johnstown, he inspired and directed heroic measures of which no accurate report ever has or ever can be made. Selected by his fellow citizens to bo their leader in a work which excited the sympathies of an entire world, tlie manner in which lie uiscnargeu his onerous duties wns a vindication of tho wisdom of their choice. With him there was no ulterior motive, nor did he think of him self, nor of the record he was about to mafce, but ne thought only of the desolated Johns town and its bereaved and suffering people. To his singleness of purposo and devotion we owe mnch moro than history will record. Mr. McCreery's report to the contributors of funds for the nso of his commltte con denses in a few pages tho history of our calamity and is a description of the almost insurmountable obstacles met and over come in the successful efforts to afford us prompt relief. Of incessant toll, of charity in every form, involving tho receipt nnd ex penditure of over $800,500. but briet mention is made. We quote, the closing paragraph of his report as his best eulogy: "With a full appreciation of the generous freedom with which 'you have given, and a gracious sense of the confidence you have placed in this committee, wc bespeak also your most generous criticism where we have unintentionally failed to wisely bestow what you hnve so freely given. It has been a privilege rather than a task to discharge the duties thus laid upon us, and we, therefore, in our behalf, as well as for the sufferers in the Conemaugh Valley, re turn you our most hearty thanks." Of such worthy service we wish wo were moro desorving, nnd the only way in which we can manifest our gratitude, is by cherish ing tho memory of that good man, nnd of his good deeds, which, like the actions of the just, "smell sweet, and blossom in the dust." SUICIDE OS CABELESSNESS. A McKecsport Printer Takes Enough Mor phine to Kill Several Men. MoKeespokt, Oct. 9. Special. A sensa tion was created hero to-dny by the strange and sudden death of George Hurley from Uniontown. His death occurred at 1 o'clock this afternoon, nnd It was at first thought it had been brought about by drinking to excess. He came here three weeks ago and secured work on the Herald. Last night he declared he had wound up his several days' drinking bout and took a sleep in the press room of the Herald office. This morning it was noticed he slept heavily, and at noon a physician was called. Before anything could bo done he had breathed his last, physicians giving it us their opinion he had taken an overdose of morphine. An investigation revealed that last night while standing at a har he was met by James T. Wells. Wells was suffering greatly, and took out a powder, intendng to take a por tion of It. Hurley asked him what it was, and Wells responded, "morphine." With out a word Hurley grasped the powder.when Wells called out to him' not to touch tho stuff, as there was enough of it there to kill a half dozen men. Before he could he pre vented, iiowevor. Hurley swallowed tho morphine and soon after walked away, no ono appearing to pay any atttcntlon to him after taking the poison. Alderman Dart be gan the inquest to-day, and alter hearing Wells' testimony continued it until to-morrow. Wells said that Hurley assured him he was used to the drag. Wells thought Hur ley imagined he could stand it, but, coupled with his weakened condition, owing to drink, it proved fatul. A HEWLY MADE ABT1FICIAL CAVE Fonnd Ity Boys in a Large Field Keinoto From Unman Habitation. New Castle, Oct. 9. Special. Some boys playing In a field on the farm of J. J. Mars, near New Bedford.have made a strange dis covery. While out hunting they came upon an artificial cave, about seven by eight feet, and deep enough for'a man to stand in. The fresh earth showed that the cave is of recent origin. Some old timbers had been placed over the cave nnd the dirt thrown over it ngain, then covered with sod, brush and leaves, and a small opening was left. Who made it, or for what It was designed, is only a conjecture, but it is doubtless the work of somo fugitive from Justice who has been or who is in hiding. The tinders fool ishly disturbed the cave, so that the pros pect of discovering the secret of the builder is scarce. The field where tho cave was Duilt or dug is at least three quarters of a mile from any bouse. West Virginia's Direct Tax. Charlstox. "W. Va., Oct. 9. Special. It now turns out that $27,328 of West Virginia direct tax money, paid over in pursuance of the act of last Congress on the supposition that it was due to citizens of Jefferson and Bcrkely counties and not to tho State at large, will go into tho State Treasury alter all. It really stands on the same footing as the $500,000 or so of State direct tax monev which the Government refuses to pnythfs State until there is some settlement ot" ante bellum claims held by tho United States against tho old State of Virginia. An ex haustive searcli of the records shows that the citizens of Jefferson and Berkely were reimbursed by an act of the Legislature passed in 1S6(. supplemented by the Joint resolution of 1869.
