BARGAINS That II Attract tie - PITTSBURG- Masses 50c A El.OODT BATTLE OX THE WHAKF One of the touchest crowds or people that ever left the Monongahela wharf went down the Ohio river on the steamer City of Tittsbur? last Thursday night, and when ihcboat returned at an early hour yester day morning there was one member of the party missinp. He had either beenthrown or had jumped overboard and was drowned, the authorities have not determined which. The body has not been recovered, and in the meantime no arrests have been made in connection with the disappearance. The circumstances in the cae point to foul play. The excursion"" as under the auspices of an aggregation of residents of the First ward, and, besides low women, ex-pufrriists and gamblers, included a police inspector, a member of the city detective force, a city patrolman and the First ward ex-constable, none of whom were there in an official capacity. rive Dollar. Paid for Everything. It was ostensibly known as the "Million aires' Club." There were lrom 50 to 60 persons aboard the boat, nearly half of them women. Whisky and beer flowed freely and an Italian band furnislied music for dancinj. The expense 01 the trip was as-se-ed at ilie rate of $5 on each member of the party, which entitled him or her to all thev could drink. The boat lolt the wharf at 10 o'clock at night. Fiom all accounts fljhtins bejjan soon afterward and continued until after the party had returned to the city. Alter steaming down as far as Brunot's Island a dense fog had settled and the boat was mooted to the iIand. At least that is tho reason given for the tie-up, which does not seem a probable one, inasmncli as the home ward tnp was begun at I o'clock yesterday morning when the tos was more dense than before. Some time after the homeward trip began a row started among the people on the boat and immediately there aroe a chorus of shrieks from the women and cusos and shouts fiom the men. The cry of "man overboard'' was rai-ed. William Hughes, better known as "Sparrow," had in some way fallen into the river during the fight. A Frnltlr.s Search for the Body. Captain Clark, who was in command of the boat, was at the pilot house when tho cry was raised, and he at once stopped the boat Learning that Hughes had fallen into the river Iro-n the bow of tho boat where the disturbance seemed to have been he ran to the rearand jumping into a skiff began a search. He lowed around fornearly halfan hour, hoping to find some trace ot the miss ing man, but finallv decided that he must have been earned down by the swift cur rent, and fuithcr seal ch would be useless. The boat was staited homeward again and after pi oceeding ud the river about 100 yards parsed a log that was floating down. Buck Cornelius an ex-pugilist, imagined the log was Hughes' body. He ran to a skiff that was fastened to the boat, and casting off tho rope was about to jump when he fell into the kiff on his stomacn. The fall made him sick and ho fainted and Captain Clark was compelled to go alter Cornelius in an other boat. When the ex-pugilist was lanOed on the steamer the diunkenmob, supposing he had been in the watei, rolled Imu on a ban el and resented to other expe dients for resuscitating a drowned person until he reco ered consciousness. There upon he set up a howl that ho had been robbed of a $300 diamond, which he claimed had been taken from his shli t front while he was being tcndetly revivived. He accused Uaitcnder James" Goodwin of taking the stone.nnd another fight resulted, which con tinued until tho boat landed at 1 o'clock at tho Monongahela wharf. From reports received from parties on the boat the fighting had been coneral, but Buck Cornelius and Police Officer Anthony Ilanion, who was present in citizen's dress nnd w ho i also somen bat of a pugilist, weic the principals. rinishrd thr Rattle on tho Tl hart After leaving tho boat they icsumed the fight on Maiket street and punished each other severely, but feaiing arrest adjourned to the Allegheny river wharf, where the battle was finished, Cornelius having his face badly bruised and his ankle sprained, ilanion was only slightly Injured. Officer Bailey attempted to an est the fighters but Lot McTlahe and John Hughes, two other Kirt Ward character". Interfered and the officer had to draw his revolver before he landed the two principals for disorderly conduct and the other two for interfering. A woman seemed their release by putting up foifeits and the hearing in the case will be held to-dav. As tothe drowningof Hughes, the Coroner. United States DistrlctAttorney Lyonand Dis- ti ict Attorney iiiuieign conierrea yesterday afternoon and examined several witnesses us to how Sparrow Hughes lost his lite. Maine Ilanion, propiietress ot a Second avenue tpeak-casy, had been a leading spirit in the Excut'ion paity, but she knew little about tt.e drowning.

The Coroner hashonuthoiitv to proceed in the mattci until the body is re coveied and ho can pioceed with an inquest, and or tliat raon turned the matter over to the District Attorney.
