The great battle r the featherweight championship of the orld is now a thing of the past, as George 'ixon, the colored boy from Boston, has on that title by defeating Fred Johnson, ie feather champion of England. The intest was witnessed by a large and en- loti&stic crowd of sporting men from this ty and Tarions other parts of the country. ixon is the acknowledged champion atherweight of America and as this was i International battle there was an im- tense amount of interest taken in the fight id the betting was exceptionally heavy. ; was unquestionably a great battle and ne that will be long remembered. Coney Island was crowded all the after- oon with prominent sporting men eager to ;t f.heir money on the man they could get ie best lines upon. Both Dixon and Jonn- inweighed in nnder 117 pounds, and there aa considerable surprise shown at the Eng- shman's ability to get down to that weight l'A still look strong and fit to fight The "fer trains came down heavily loaded, and t it drew toward the time for beginning ie rosh for seats became something itonnding. The seats were J5 and $10 each, nt that cnt no figure with the bulk of ports, as they put up their money as though . had been blank paper. The BettinC W Very Heavy. There were fully 6,000 people present by ie time they were ready to put on the first ont, which was a ten-round go between 'harles Kelly and Con Sullivan, both of his city. There was so much Dixon money in sight hat the Johnson men, who went down pre ared to back their man at even money, 'ere soon compelled to drop down to 560 to 100, then to $70 to S100, and the takers rere so numerous that another reef had to e taken, and odds fell to $100 to $60 on )ixon with but few takers. The first pair I Druisers, Kelly ana bnlliran, hopped pon the stage at 8:40 p. at The boys, who re in the 105-pound class, were "evenly latched. John L. SulliTan came in in a most hi arions condition and attracted no little at ention. He was so much interested in the en rattling rounds the boys put np, in which nock-downs were conspicuous, that he did iot see Jim Corbett come in and walk past m, despite the lccttbat the crowd cheered imv heartily. Neither of the lads were nockeil out, but Kelly was declared the inner on scientific points. Then came the star performance of the vening, and everybody settled himself to njoy what proved to be an excellent exhi ition of science, skill and strength. The Contestants Enter the Ring. It was just 9-30 when Dixon came down he aisle and climbed upon the stage. He as accompanied, bv Tom O'Eonrke his naaager and Morris Kelly and Eddie Jailey. Fred Johnson was very slow about asking his appearance in the ring, but rlien he did show up he received a hearty releome. He wm accompanied bv Charley sorton, Billy Plimmer, Ben Rolands :md Jenny Murphy, his handlers. It was 0:50 then the men confronted each other. First round The start was fast and fort ius Dixon doing all the work and landing lsht and left on stomach and head, forcing lolinson to the ropes and punishing him ernbly. A great shout went np, tor all honjcht Johnson was coin;; out In the first ound, bnt he plucklly stuck to his work ind took his medicine. The gong sonnded ime and that saved him. Bis seconds got lim in shape In less than a minute and he Mie up strontr. -econd round Dixon "forced the fljrlitlnir. rhlcli was fast and furioii", and Dixon did he bulk of tho leading Jo'inon at one line seemed to be gone.

Johnson was layine hack for In iRhttne. in which he excelled, but George lit, stopped and got awav too quickly for ilm. When the bell rung Johnson was very veary. Johaxon Freshened TJp a Little. Third round Both men were strong and sparred for an opening. Johnson was the Irst to lead, but fell short or his mark, and Dickson came forward with a great rush anding hard and often. Johnsoa gained strength, however, and again led. As be fore, lie fell short, but lien Ueorze rushed aim ho planted his riuht full in Dixmi's tace. and in the clinch which followed punched htm hard In tho stomach. Alter .he bieak an ay Dixon was moiecaieful, finding that his opponent n as a irrent in flghter and capable or getting away from punishment. Fourth round Johnson came np very strong which forced Dixon to be a little more cautious. They sparred a few seconds for an opening, when Dixon came n ith a rush and planted his left on Johnson's stomach, and with the same swing landed It on his Jaw, while he followed it up with a right bander on the neck. Johnson planted his riabt heavily on Dixon's ribs, and some bard in-fighting followed before the call of time. Firth round Johnson was fnll of fight and be followed Dixon nil over the ring lookin" Toran opening. He led lightly with his left, but got a stiff counter on the jaw for his pains. Dixon then rushed him and landed a sood left on the face, only to receive a blow twice as hard on the side of his head rrom Johnson's rLrht. Tney came to close quar ters a number of times during this round and clinched lepeatedly. They had to be separated a number of times, and the round finished In favor of Dixon. Both Men ere Still Strong. Sixth round The men came up strong. Johnson led with his left on Dixon's chest Dixon, on a rnsh, snung his left on John son's stomach and aealn in the race. On the next rush he landed acain the same way. bnt got a stinging c.outon the side of his head with Johnson's rlsht that made the smile disappear from his face. He tried to get equal c, rushed his man and fought liko a tiger with both hands. Johnson held his own in pretty pood rorm and did not seem to mind his punishment in the least, but banged away with both hands like a "ladi ator. Seventh round Both were eager to get to work. Johnson's mild leaa was followed by a swinging right which made his head go back quickly. Dixon used both hands to ad vantage and landed many good blows, and would doubtless have finished his man bad it not been for the clever dodging ot the English lad. Eighth round Dixon started to do his fighting with his left hand, but after receiv ing two or three swinging blows he came to bis senses and was forced to nse his right band for all it was worth. Iloth fought well all through the round, and it Is difficult to tell which man had the best or the round. It was clever work all the way through. M here Johnson Had the Best of It. Ninth round Dixon was not over-anx-Ions to get into close quarters, and spent as much of the round as possible in walking around and sparring. He only fought when he got a good openinz, or was forced to do so bv Ills opponent's attacks. Johnson used its right hand to advantage, and landed sveralhlOBS DIxonon's head with telling Tect. Ifanythliig, Johnson had a shade a hAg of the round. r rents, round Dixon held off until he got an opening. Then he landed on his oppo nent with Doth hands and lalrly staggered the Englishman. The clever manner In which Johnson avoided punishment rrom Dixon's left caused the latter to c hange his tactics and commence playing tor Johnson's wind with his right, which he landed suc cessfully many times In the Briton's stom ach. Eleventh'Tound Johnson showed himself to be a good, stiff puncher with his right band, and no one was more keenly aware or that fact than Dixon, who avoided It as much as possible and did not fall into the wupjonnson was setting lor mm witu ma short leads with the left. Johnson, If any thing, bad a trifle the best of the round. Twelfth round Both boys fought well and; to the surprise or the speotators.John son held his end up fully as well as Dixon, as the Englishman could certainly stand an awful lot of punishment, and as the blows of Dixon, which were severe, had but little effect upon him. He took his medicine In great shape, and was perfectly oontentea with countering with bis right every time Dixon came to him. Thirteenth round There was but little real hard fighting done In this round, aa both v ere cautious and only led where they thought they had a good opening. Dixon got In some telling blows toward the close or the round, which had a marked effect on the Englishman, who was a trifle tired at the call oT time, when be went to his corner. Fourteenth (and last round) Johnson was a trifle groggy when be came up owing to punishment he had received in the pre vious round.and the manner in which Dixon followed up the advantage and planted bis right and left did not improve Johnson's condition in the least. They had scarce ly been fighting two minutes when Dixon Planted his' left fnll on the point or ohnson's Jaw, following It up with the right with such force that he fell on him as ho went down. The full is what finished Johnson, as the back of his head struck the floor with such torce that he was knocked insensible. He made four or five efforts to rie, but the attempts were fruitless and Dixon was declared the winner. THROUGH THE R00P OF A CAR. Charles Danzlger Speaks or His Experience in the Keystone Wreck HetVas Thrown 40 Feet and Landed In a Swamp A Narrow Escape. Charles Danziger, a local newspaper man, was in the Valparaiso wreck, on the Ft. Wayne road, Sunday morning. He arrived home last evening, dressed in a hand-me-down suit and wearing an old slouch bat He said he was glad to get back alive, and he was fortunate to escape with only a, few slight bruises. He lost bis pocketbook, satchel and all bis eflects, bnt he will be busy to-dav making out his bill, to be pre sented to the Pennsylvania Company. Dr. Danziger had a most exciting expe rience. "The train," he said, "was running 50 miles an hour when the accident oc curred. We were out of Chicago aboilt 41 miles. If I had remained in the sleeper I would have been all right, but I went forward into the smoking car next to the engine. There were 14 of us enjoying a smoke when suddenly the car commenced to rock. I realized at once that it was off the track. Some of the men rushed for the door, but I called to them to hang to their seats. The next instant the heavy iron rods under the car broke through the floor, and w,e couldn't tell how soon one of them would transfix us. This was a terrible experience, and we were all thoroughly frightened. The engine ran for a short distance on the ties, and then struck a gravel train. The tender took the roof off our car. and the force of the collision threw seven of us through the opening. I was thrown about 40 feet, and landed on my hands and knees in a swamp. My face and clothes were bespattered with mud. I realized I wasn't hurt, and looked around to see whom I could help. Nearby was an old woman, and I thought she was dead. Her lace was covered with blood. Like myself, however, she was more fright ,ened than hurt. One of my companions had his skull fractured, another had a leg broken, and thev were all more or less hurt. "The train was a sight. The first four cars were piled one upon the other and smashed into pieces. The wreck was caused by a broken rail. 1 saw it afterward, and the piece was not very long, but it did the business." Mr. Danziger's home is in Canton. "When he arrived there he got off to rest. He was very nervous and couldn't sleep. At home he discovered that he had received an ugly cash in the thigh. He has been slightly bilious ever since, but he doesn't think he has been injured internally. Thern wero 103 people on the train, and the escape of those in the first four cars was miraculous. WANT MOKE POLICEMEN. Tho Ontlylng Districts . Bothered With Crowds of Tonghs on &unday. Chief Brown has issued orders that here after on Sunday a number of policemen shall patrol the hills back of Glenwood and Hazelwood, owing to the fact that there have been a number of firfits there recentlv.

On Sunday there was a picnic in a grove near Glenwood, and it wound up in a Iree-for-all fight A number of people were hurt and the police are now looking for those who caused the disturbance. When the police were notified they had five miles to travel and when they got there they found no one to arrest EASI1VICK AT HOME. The Tonne Man Was Badly Used TJp in the Wreck, bnt Expected to Recover. William Eastivick, the voung man from the East End who was hurt in the Harris burg wreck, reached home last evening. He came in on the limited, and the fast train stopped at East Liberty to let him oft He is in very bad shape, but is expected to recover.

POISON MICE. CREAM. Over 100 People at Asbnry Park Were Made Deadly Sick by THE WARH WEATHER'S "LUXURY. in Awfol Fate Jot Toung Men to Hold Up to Their Sweethearts. SO SOLUTION FOR 1 GREAT MYSTERY fSrrCTAt, TSLKGBAM TO TOT DISPATCH. 1 Asbury Park, June 27. When Dr. Alexander Williamson hurried to the resi dence of Mr. Simon Wolf, Saturday even ing, he found Mr. and Mrs. Woltand their three children suffering from a peculiar sickness for which he could not at first find a cause. Mr. Wolf and his wife had violent headache and dizziness, and some nausea. The children had these symptoms, and also a numbness of the legs below the knee, and of the hands. . Dr. Williamson gave emetics and stimu lants, and found that the symptoms decreased" somewhat before the medicine. Mr. Wolf told him that as the room was warm he and his family had eaten some ice cream that had been delivered durintr the afternoon. Dr. Williamson tasted this ice cream, but did not observe anything peculiar about it During the ' evening Dr. Williamson and several other doctors got a number of hasty calls, as the result of the appearance of the same symptoms in other families that had had ice cream for dinner. , Sickness In All the Hotels. Aa the doctors did not meet, no general alarm was sent out In fact, none of the cases were serious, and the doctors thought very little about it But yesterday the whole town was alarmed by the breaking out of tbe sickness In a dozen hotels and boarding houses and nearly 50 private houses. This was in the afternoon, just after tbe Asbury Park Sunday dinner hour, and so hasty were -the calls that every doctor in the town wa to be seen dashing through the streets. Those who did not get the news in any other war took the alarm at this, and soon the whole story was oat In West Asbury Park there is an ioe CTeam manufacturer, Frederick Kurrus. He is a German, aged 38 years, and for 12 years Asbury Park has known and loved his ice cream. Friday Kurrus received from New York, and from his sources of supply in Asbnry Park, several hundred quarts of cream, which he set to work to freezing for the snpply of his regular Sunday customers, lor ice cream is as much a pan ot the Sun day Asbury Park as church and a midday dinner afterward. , Six Kinds or Cream in It When Kurrus and his son and several employes quit work Friday evening, they had nearly ready six great canisters of ice cream, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, peach, pineapple, lemon and pistache. This meant 240 quarts of ice cream, whereof several times that many sojourners at Asbury Park would eat on Saturday evening and on Sunday. Saturday morning the Kurrus delivery wagons were busy taking this cream about At some places they left freezers of various sizes, containing assortments ot the cream in layers. At other places they left bricks, also assorted, in tin. They supplied hotels, boarding t ousts and families. As has been said, it was the Sunday din ner that caused the horror. From the Angola House, from the Powelton, from the Surf House, from the Shoreham, the Franklin and the Gngg Villa and a score of other places, came reports of the disastrous effects of using the Kurrus ice cream. The symptoms were every where the same, varying in violence according to the quan tity eaten and tne age and pnystcai condi tion of the eaters, and to add to the strange ness of the attack there were many who ate yet felt not the slightest sickness. Some had temblt griping pains, accompanied by headache, .dizziness and diarrbma; others had nausea, with a numbness of the lower parts of the legs and arms; some were able to sit np, and others were so sick that they had to take to their beds. Kone of the Cases Fatal. In two cases the doctors feared that death would follow. To-day the doctors, having got over their hurryin'a to and lro some what, have been consulting and considering the case. Some of them say it was certainly tyrotoxicon bred in the cream and not boiled ont of it; others say that it was ver digris from the canisters that had not bean cleaned properly; others give up the matter altogether and frankly admit that they don't know what the cause was. It is said by some that tbe strawberry ice cream did the mischief, bnt this is shaken by others who point to sick persons who say they ate only of the vanilla. Kurrus says that he bo'iled the cream before using it, and that he carefully washed tbe canisters, which were copper-lined. ' As no one is dead, and as the Board of Health is fretful over the expense of a chemical analysis, it will never be known Vhy over a hundred people of Asbury Park were sick. Kurrus himself lays it all to the cream. He says the cans in which it was 'brought to him mast have- had the poison in them. There was not a great deal of ice cream eaten in Asbury Park last night, although there were lots of young people about the streets and although everyone was com plaining of the worst heat, into which ice cream fits so well. ' A JOKER IN TE0UBLE. He St r nek a Man With a Board While Look ing at a Swinging Potato. Joseph .Suams was arrested at the market house last night by order of Superintendent O'Mara. Adams is known as "Dutch," and is a practical joker. He rigged np a notato and a string on one of the market stands, and had it swinging to and fro like a pendulum, and soon a crowd of curious people w,ere stooping down to look it at In tne crowd -was Harry Fitzgerald, who stooped lower than the rest, and Adams hit him across the hips with a board. Fitz gerald could not see the joke and cora Elained to Superintendent O'Mara, who ad him arrested. Adams has been under police serveillance for some time. Only two months he was arrested by Superintendent O'Mara with two other men for alleged complicity in a case of grand larceny committed in Jersey City.

MOST OP THE PATRONS WEALTHY. the Examiner Bad Previously Given Fair Warning of the Break. FIRE8, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS Goshen, N. Y.t June 27. The Goshen National Bank has dosed Its doors. Cashier William M. Murray, who Is also County Treasurer, did not make his appearance this morning, and it is rumored he has ab sconded. The bank has a ' capital of $110,000. It reported May 17,'" a surplus ot $29,000; deposits of $278,000, and total aisets of $447,000. The stock holders, as a rule, are wealthy men, and if the Investigation does 'not show too heavy losse, they will put the bank on its feet again. -Cashier Murray received a salary.of $2,000 and $5,000 more as Country Treas urer. It Is not thought he speculated, but his expenses were heavy. He is undoubt edly mentally unbalanced. The bank did not open for business this morning. The directors are in session, making an examination. The National Bank Examiner, at a recent examination, had directed the officers' attention to the unsatisfactory condition of the books, and that many loans were bad. It is said the public funds are in a trust company in New York. It is supposed that the surplus is gone and that the capital is impaired. Examiner Gateman is busy examining the books of the Goshen National Bank, and until he gives the directors his report only rumors are current Murray's direct liability to the bank is thought to be an overdraft of $7,000 and a note tor $11,000 unsettled.
