weight of Pennsylvania, who spurred very
cleverly with "Yank" Sullivan, his pupil,
Next on the program was "Barney" Hurler, a
young blacksmith from Sheusniloah, and
"Danny" Leary, both foathorwelghts. This
p,ilr went in lor blood and business from tho
start ntl fi.ught three very spirited rounds,
After this came the event of the evening. As

he was Kriet(d by a shout that rhook the
llltle hall, Ho is a little fellow weighing ox
actly i:3 pounds anil locked well In his red

a left hauderhy duckingaiidoouutertd Conry
lightly on the head. They quickly got into
close quarters and clinched. They were parted
and both rushed, Conry landing on Hughes'
hinl just as time was called. In the second
round Conry forced tho fighting, but It did
not avail him anything, as the little man had
no trouble in avoiding his rushes. Conry
reached Hughes' head twiro and "Dinkey"
responded on a counter on Conrj's hi ad and
wild. The third round was a wrestling
match, botli men clinching several times.
Honors were even. .When time was called
for tho fourth round both men rushed for
ward, tho hitting becoming fast anil furious,
Conry clinching and attempting to throw his
man. Tho Lost Creek man attempted his
rushing tactics again, but tho little follow
dodged and lauded several blows on Conry's
faco and body. Timo was again called ai d
the lclcrco declared the match a draw.

stands fifty jards from any dwelling, so tho
men went to work without fear of Inter

ofllue hy throwing the weight of their bodies
against tho doors, tho locks giving way llko
punk. They next went to work on the safe
door, soaping its edges and boring a hole in
tho face that would admit a lead pencil.
Through this holo powder was sifted and a
lighted squib inserted. When the fire
reached tho powder theio was an ox plosion
that tumbled big ledgers out of tneir ease,
but the door remained unopened. The ex
plosion had foroed tho iuner portion of tho
door to fall inwaid, doing no particular
damage to anything else. When the agent
arrived at revtn o'clock the door was quite
warm. J lie only tool left by the cracksmen
was a small pocket knife.

as Mr. Ilurdctt tcllB us In the historical

times, nnd even our asylums for sick an

not in the proscnt ago of perfect photogra
phlo reproduction, why not icproduco
tho most beautiful, the most popular, tho
most uoled of these art treasures ?" was
