M'DONALD WON EASILY.
Ho tlritt CUtisou 111 Dglit nt Locust Dale
jMKt. Night.
The muoh-lfllked-of and frequently post
poned flstlo encounter between Darby .Mc
Donald, of Mt. Carmsi, and William Gibson,
of Palo Alto, wm pulled off last night In a
second-story apartment of ft hotel at Locust
Dale. The event lias been second In im
portance In point of discussion to the Flts-shnmons-Corbett
fight for ninny weeks ntid
sports nil over the region have been more or
lees Interested. The men were matched fonr
times previously, but novor succeeded III
getting together. Tho last match of n few
weeks ago, It will bo remembered, was
spoiled by Sheriff Soott coming to town and
forbidding the fight, lint now it is all over.
McDonald and Gibson bavo at last met each
other and decided the long-debated question
of supcilorlty between tbem. The result
leaves no dsubt. Gibson was certainly In
ferior to the lit. Carmel man and bis stock
as a fighter has taken such a drop that It Is
doubtful be will ever get any backing in
this vicinity again. Many believe that bis
career as a fighter Is nt end. lie made a
miserable showing against hit antagonist and
oven bis greatest friends and admirers re
turned to town disgusted.
Tho fight was for a $100 a side. About 300
sports were In attendance. Of that number
about 75 jpald tho admission feo of $8 and the
rest forced tholr way in. Tho ring was a six
teen foot one. The match was for 15 rounds.
Gibson failed to last three rounds. Tho men
entered the ring at about 10:30 o'olock.
Thorb was plenty of McDonnld money in
sight, but very little, if any, of it was taken.
It is said that Gibson's backers bad nothing
but the stakes on their man. Some of tbem
have since said they feared bo would quit and
their solo object In bringing about tho fight
was to settle tho question as to whether
Gibson could beat tho Mt. Cnrmcl man. In
the first and second rounds Gibson did nearly
all tbo leading, but bo couldn't land. Mo
Donald was more fortunate and in tho first
louud planted n stinger on Gibson's left eye
that almost closed tho optic. In tho third
round Gibson looked awful weary. Sud
denly McDonald landed a hot punch. Gibson
turned his back to his opponent and seemed
to bo trying to shlold his face with his arms.
McDimuld was monnwhllo following up
his advantage and coutlnuly landing blows
right and left until Gibson with a backward
movement sank to the floor. Sonio of the
spectators thought It was a knock out, but
tho majority agree that it was a "quit."
Gibson was in town this morning having
his eye dressed, lie stated that tbo blow be
recolvcd on the eye was practically a knock
oit. It was tbo hardest kind of a punch, bo
says, and be ponhl hardly tfo during tbo re
mainder of t)io light, lie strongly denies
that bo quit aud pap the fight was practic
ally over from the time lie received tho blow
on tbo eyo.

SHARP VETO
jlESSfiGE !
Governor Hastings Rebukes a Concurrent
Legislative Resolution.
THE DUTIES OF THE GOVERNOR,
He Declares, Do Not Inelude the Instruc
tion of Legislators as to Proper
Eubjects For Taxation-Necessity
For Economy in
Appropriations.
Harrtsburg, Jun 8. Governor Hast
ings sent to thg senate last night with
out his approval the concurrent resolu
tion requesting him to state what new
subjects) of taxation he has to recom
mend to the general assembly to in
crease the revenues. The executive re
minds the legislature that If In Its duty
It deems It necessary to pass additional
revenup laws there Is no duty resting
upon him to name the subjects for tax
ation. As It Is the fundamental law of
the commonwealth that all bills for
raising revenue shall originate in the
house of representatives, It would be
contrary not only to the letter, but
also to the spirit of the constitution
that all bills should originate with the
executive.
"I am not aware," Governor Hast
ings adds, " that at any time In the
past has the executive been called upon
by the general assembly to take part
in legislation, and the resolution under
confederation has, therefore, neither
p.-ecedent nor authority of law upon
which to stand.
"Tour honorable bodies were furnish
ed by me more than five months ago
with a detailed estimate of the probable
revenues during the next two fiscal
years, and were advised at the same
time that appropriations would not be
approved In excess ot the estimates so
made unless additional revenues were
provided. During the period that you
have been in session but one revenue
measuie has reached me. commonly
known ns 'tho diivct Inheritance tax
bill.' The amount that will probably
be realized from this measure wlU be
JlrOOO.OOO per annum.
"At this time, when almost all Indus
tries are suffering, when trade is stag
nant and when willing labor can find
no employment, economy in the expen
diture of public moneys should control
the general assembly 'in its appropria
tions, and will certainly control the
executive in the consideration of all
measures. "When the individual citi
zen finds It necessary to exercise tho
most rigid ecpnomy In order to support
hjmself and his family it Is certainly
strong ndmonltlon to you and to the
executive to see to it that his burdens
should not be increased, but as far as
possible should be lessened,
"Our publlo schools must be sustain
ed, our penal Institutions provided for
and the unfortunate in mind and body
whom we have always with us must
receive our shellerlnir enre. There Is
money for all these If wisely admin
istered. "The enormous expense Incurred by
Investigating committees, some of them
perhnps of doubtful necessity, and th"
liberality with which the public funds
have been heretofore used In contented
election cases have Very properly ar
rested public attention, and I earnestly
urge upon your honorable bodies the
curtailment of exjienses of this char
acter." The governor also urges an early ad
journment of tbe legislature, and states
that there will be a deficiency on Nov.
0 of W.620.B9 U8.
The legislature will get away July 1
unless there Is a change In the temper
of the members. A concurrent resolu
tion fixing that date for final adjourn
ment was Introduced in the senate last
night by Mr. Meredith, of Armstrong.
and was promptly adopted. Mr. Mere
dith subsequently moved to reoonsider
tins action, nut the senate refused.
When the resolution reached the house
It waB promptly concurred In. This la
the only concurrent resolution that
does not go to the governor for his ap
proval. Unless the session Is extended
beyond the time fixed many Important
bills will have to be dropped. None of
the appropriation bills have been re
ported. Either body may paBS a reso
lution extending the session, but neith
er wants to assume the responsibility.
