Tales! ‘Telegrams (0 The Slat IT WAS A HARD FIGHT. Needham’s Hard Hitting Counts For More Than Gilmore’s Science. Mryxearouis, Mrex., March 27.—The Gil- more-Needham fight came off this morning, Needham winning in the twentieth round. There was a vexatious delay in arranging the preliminaries. There was wrangling over the amount of the purse and the Teleres. Shortly after Lay oe the tip was given and a start was made for point about 8 miles up the Mississippi river in Anoka county. The ob- jective point was a barn, and the shivering were glad to get even its slight protec- tion. At3:03 a.m. the men had stripped and were ready for business. From the start it was plain that while Gilmore was easily the most scientificman he lacked in the hard hitting Soe that finally gave Needham the fight. the twentieth round Gilmore received A TERRIFIC THUMP IN THE NECK and went down like a log. He was plucky and managed to again face the victor. Down he went again from a vicious left-hander in the throat, this time not to rise until it was too late and Needham had won the battle. It wasa good fight, hard fought, and the spectators raised a purse of 40 for Gilmore. Gilmore wore drab tights and was seconded by John McGill, the feather-weight, and a St. Paul sporting mi Needham was encased in maroon tights and was handled by Jobn H. Clark and Dick Moore. A_ well-known local sporting man was referee. Objection was made to the way Needham’s hands were strapped, but Gilmore’said briefly, “Let ‘er go.” TIME WAS CALLED. Time was called at 3:29. For two minutes the men were engaged in feinting and sizing each other up. Then Needham reached for Gil- more’s breast and landed, but lightly. He re- peated the blow and Gilmore countered lightly on the same spot. Needham also opened the second round, landing right and left on Gilmore’s breast. Gilmore smiled. A second later he placed a heavy blow on Dannie’s neck and got = in time to avoid a swinging right-hander. Gil- more followed this up with a stinger on Need- ham’s left eye, and Dannie neatly countered on Gilmore's right optic. Thirdround. Needham led as usual with a hard one on the shoulder, and followed it up with a savage lunge, which was vented on the air. The fourth was a scientific round, and ended in a clinch, with honors easy. Needham was still the first to lead in the fifth round, but his blow, aimed at the stomach, fell short.’ He then rushed Gilmore and got in two good ones. Aclinch followed, and a neck ex- change succeeded theclinch. The stomach was the favorite play of both men in this round. The men were very carefui in the sixth round. Needham scored first with a thump on his 0 ponent’s head, getting a heavy one on the reast in return. Needham countered on Gil- more’s neck. SCIENTIFIC SPARRING. The seventh round was simply an exhibition of scientific sparring. The tenth round showed clever work by both men. Gilmore led for the first time in the begin- ning of the round in the eleventh, but fell short. He got a rib-roaster in return. Gilmore then got in a good one on Needham’s mouth. Gilmore led in the 16th and was promptly stopped. Needham led for the face, but got an upper cut which knocked him to the ropes. | One hundred to seventy-five was offered on | Needham and taken, The 18th round was an exchange of light blows and much feinting. THE FINISH. Gilmore acted on the defensive in the 20th round. He had two eyes in mourning and was nearly winded. Dannie’s right eye was badly swollen, but that was about all. He was in good condition. Needham forced the fighting from the start, and rushed his man all around the ring. Fi nally his opportunity came. He landed on Gil- more’s neck, and the latter went to the floor. Just before time was called Gilmore stag- gered to his feet. but he was groggy and almost done for. Neediam rushed him savagely, knocking him flat in his own corner. @ Gilmore lay there 15 seconds, and the fight was awarded to Needham. 200 well-behaved sports pi oo THE STRIKERS YIELD. They Suddenly Discover there are no Funds in the Treasury. Fat River, Mass., March 27.—The strike of the weavers in this city ended this morning and the operatives will return to work on the old basis to-morrow. | At a mass-meeting on the park, which was at- | tended by thousands of operatives, the execu- tive committee of the Weavers’ association ad- vised giving up under protest and submitting | tothe state board of arbitration. | This resuit has been reached at two meetings of the board mentioned, held yesterday after- | . Secretary Connolly | jority of the committee realized | stated thata that there we NO FUNDS IN THE TREASURY }upon which so large a number of strikers could rely, and thought it best to yield before there was any suffering. The contributions expected from outside quarters had fallen below expectations, and under the circum- stances it would be wiser for all concerned to resume their places. The Rev. John Brown ad- vised a similar course, and it was voted to re- turn to-morrow. The gain in the number of operatives employed to-day has been very light. and manufacturers were surprised when the result was announced, though no excite- ment prevails in the city. H REFUSING TO GIVE UP HOPE. Mr. Kunhardt Still Confident the Con- | serva Was Not Wrecked. New York, March 27.—Notwithstanding the fact that the loss of the gunboat Conserva is accepted as established among shipping Mr. Henry Kunhardt, whose cousin, rdt, wax a passenger on board, is as to-day as yesterday that the Conserva He says that he believes she must have collided with some vessel, and | that such a collision would do her little harm, because she is like a battering ram and would | cut through another steamer almost unscathed, He advances the following theory in explana- tion of the finding of the Conserva’s boats: HOW THE BOATS MIGHT HAVE BEEN Lost. “If the Conserva had collided with any vessel she would have immediately lowered her | boats to save the sinking crew. The sea must | have been very high at thetime and the Con- serva, seeing they could do nothing with the boats, may have allowed them to goadrift.” Mr. Kunhardt thinks there must have been more than one vessel lost, judging from the amount of wreckage found, and from the fact that the chairs and sofas found were painted white, he believed them to have been the Nanti- coke’s, rather than the Conserva’s, which were | painted in colors. He is confident of the Con- serva yet reaching port Wanted Her Husband Killed. AN ALLEGHENY WOMAN CHARGED WITH OFFER- ING A MAN TWENTY DOLLAWY TO DO THE JOB.

The latter had a $2,000 insurance policy on his life, and it is alleged that she entered’ into a conspiracy with a man who was to do the job for #20. In- stead of killing Thurmg, however, the man in- formed the police authorities, who arrested her. The husband was rather dazed when his wife was arrested, and could not understand why she wanted to kill him. She was locked up for a hearing to-day. Death of the Duke of Buckingham.

Brxz. Hamnison. & | his partner were aware of CONTRACTOR QUACKENBUSH. He Testifies as to His Work upon the ‘Washington Tunnel. At 1 o'clock to-day the Lydecker court- martial reassembled and Mr. John B. Quacken- bush was called tothe stand asa witness for the prosecution. Within the last six years he has, asa member of the firm of Beckwith & Quackenbush, had a contract with the govern- ment to construct the Washington aqueduct tunnel, The original calculation was that the tunnel was merely to be cut, with lining where necessary ‘with con- crete. The work of excavation was done by the firm itself, and the other work was done by sub-contractors, The latter contracted to do all brick work and king. At first the 4 was dry, and afterward with mortar. itness did not obtain consent or approval of Major Lydecker to the sub-letting, which was done because it was thought that the work would be done better. “Had you any knowledge of the character of the sub-contractors before eS let them the contract?” asked Major Davis, “Of the character?” repeated the witness, “Mr. Brennan had previously done some brick work for us in Boston.” Previous to Brennan’s employment by wit- ness he was engaged at Cambridge, Mass., on sewer work, He was employed on the New York aqueduct while the work was suspended here, Witness said that he could not give an opinion as to Brennan’s work on the New York tunnel. PAYMENTS TO GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS. ‘The witness said that his firm made payments for the work done by a paymaster to the men who rendered services, “Did the name of any inspectors for the gov- ernment receive pay thus? “I understand that some of them did receive pay for overtime. I only understood this after the investigation. When I heard how some of the men testified, I went to find out about it, and found that some of the inspectors had been entered on the check- roll under fictitious names. I inquired why this was done, and was told that the inspectors did not want their names to appear on our check-rolis,” He had been told by Senator Edmunds that some 2700 had thus been paid. Neither he nor these payments, He became aware of the bad work in September, 1888, through the investigation. THE CAUSE OF THE BAD WORK. “To what do you attribute this bad work?” “I should say that it was due to the indiffer- ence of the working class of people.” “I want to get at the cause of the bad work?” “It was due somewhat to the carlessness of snperintendence. I suppose thatIam some- what to blame myself,” Mr. Swift asked: “Your firm received whatever benefit there came from the bad work, did it not?” No, sir; we did not get any benetit from the bad work. It was to our interest to have good work done, and the only saving that would have come to us would be from cement.” We tried to have good work done.” Mr. Swift referred to the eonnection of the firm with the New York frauds, and asked if they had received any benefit from the bad work there. “No, sir; we had to repair our work there.” This caused a general langh. HOW FAR HE IS WILLING TO CORRECT BAD WORK. Mr. Quackenbush stated that his offer to Senator Edmunds to make good the bad work here was done in good faith, and that the firm was now ready to make good the bad work done in 1888, but that as for that done in 1887, which had been accepted and paid for in fall, they would make repairs under protest. He was not aware that Mr. Brennan had been discharged from the New York tunnel for bad work. The fact that Brennan, Emery and Palmer, the sub-con- tractors, were such had not been communicated to anyone. They were paid by the paymasters of the firm. One of the officers asked if the firm had ever taken steps to superintend the work of the sub- inspectors to require good work, or left it to the government inspectors. The answer was that orders were given to all the firm's men to ies and see that uo fraudulent work was done. BAD WORK WAS REPORTED. “Did you receive any reports from any of your people that bad work was being done?” “Yes, on one or two occasions.” “Did they report to you originally of bad work of which they themselves’ had gained knowledge?” “Never.” Mr. Quackenbush explained the manner in which the filling was paid for. It was paid for by the amount excavated, and not for the amount put in, “How, then, would it be to your advantage to fill the space instead of leaving it open?” “Because we had to excavate the rock, and if we did not put it in as filling it would have to be carted out of the tunnel. It was much eas- ier to drop it right into the packing.” Major Davis presented the voucher for the payment of the $78,000 by Major Lydecker to the firm. ANDREW DORSEY WAS NEXT CALLED sworn, He said that he a bricklayer by trade, and did not know Major Lydecker by sight. He had done work on the “Rock Creek tunnel.” He had nothing to do with the pack- ing, but saw it done. He knew the man who id it. “What was his trade?” “He had no trade.” He explained that this man had done pretty well. Some work was laid dry, some in cement and some was not laid at all. Sometimes when the inspector was not there the men would not lay the stones at all. and was “Col. Robert asked if Col. Kirtin ever caw thia bad work being done. The witness said that Kirlin had seen it, but had always had it pulled out and done over again, To Col. Whittemore the witness said that he got 20centsan hour, and it did not matter whether he worked fast or slow. “COL.” KIRLIN WAS NEXT CALLED, He was appointed November 16, 1886, as prin- cipal inspector on the tunnel by Maj. Lydecker, ‘The instructions to Col. Kirlin were read. Siuce March 14, 1887, the work in the tunnel consisted of tunneling, lining, and packing. The witness detailed the system of inspec- tions and his daily work. His route was gener- ally invariable entering the tunnel at about 7:30 inthe morning. No reports were required from the sub-inspectors unless there was bad work done, This had occurred about half a dozen times. Upon this the masons were al- Ways discharged, and Kirlin reported the facts to Lieut. Townsend. There were no checks on the —__sub-inspectors except one night when he had received a re- port that a gang was doing too much work. A question was asked whether the packers were “Americans, Italians, or colored men?” ‘The ‘colonel” replied that they were “Amer- cans and colored.” THE COURTS.

Shortly after- ward, he walked over to the court-honse to the consultation room ot the judges, and there meeting Chief Justice Bingham and Justice James, presented his commission and pro- nounced his readiness to qualify by taking the required oaths. In the meantime some mem- bers of the bar and others heard of what was about to transpire and a dozen or more hastily entered the room and witnessed the admins- tration of the oaths by the chief justice as as follows: |. Andrew C. Bradley, appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court of the District o Columbia, do solemnly swear that I will ad- minister justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the lrich, and that I will” faithfully and | impartially discharge and perform ‘ail the | duties incumbent on_me as a justice of the ! Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, ac- | cording to the best of my abilities and ander- standing, agreeable to the Constitution and laws of the United States: So help me God.” ‘This was signed by Mr. Bradley, as also the following, and both were recorded in the volume of ‘oaths of office:” I, Andrew C. Bradley, appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, do solemnly swear, that If will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic that I will bear true faith and alle; ice to the same: that I take this ob- ligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office om which I am about to enter: So help me God. Mr. Bradley will not enter upon his duties, robably, before Monday and as vet it is un- jetermined as to what branch of the business he will take. Of late years it has become customary to assign the last appointed to the criminal busi- ness, and it is thought by many that Justice Bradley will soon relieve Justice Montgomery in that branch, while the latter will go to the General Term. Se ees “The Old Familiar Faces.” A DEPARTMENT CHIEF WHO IS GETTING BIS EYE- TEETH CUT. “It is not that so many people come,” re- marked a department messenger in speaking of the throng that fill the waiting-room of the head of the department each day, “but it is the same people coming every day.” “The boss is getting on to those fellows,” he went on, “‘and now they have to wait outside. When the boss first came, he saw every body, but after two or three days he got tired of seeing the same faces and he shut down. Why some of them come every day and some- times they get up a delegation so as to give some novelty to the visit. Then again they say that they only want to pay their respects, but however they get to see the boss they always manage toask him whether he has done any- thing about those papers.” Re ‘What papers,” asks the boss, looking at im. ““Why,the papers in my case for the office at so-and-so,’ says the man, “‘Ain’t they on file?’ says the boss, beginning to look stern. “ ‘Yes,’ the man replies, ‘but then I thought I would ask if you had done anything about them.” “Have you any more the boss, beginning to e “ ‘No,’ the man says, “Well, your caso will be taken up when I get to it,’ and the boss makes a break for the other pes to file?’ inquires eo away. side of the room, But the et et him by the arm and holds fast to him, and perhaps it will be half an hour before the boss gets rid of him. That man will do the same thing next day if he gets a chance, but the boss is getting his eye teeth cut, you can bet your life.” ——»—__ SPECIAL Sessions oF THE Portcr Covrt.— There was a special session of the Police Court this afternoon devoted to the interests of the cold water advocates, and to-morrow a similar session will be held to hear the cases of not only the advocates of rum, but also those who id all kinds of intoxicants for gain.

THE The scenes in the neighborhood of 3d street and = Massachuset¢s avenue northwest this afternoon reminded one of an old-fash- ioned election day. It was election day with the members of the Columbia Typographical union, The thousand members of the union make up as many yoters as will usually be found in a good-size town. There is annually considerable competition among candidates and their friends and there is lively electioneer- ing around the pos. The vot- ing place was ina store on the corner. Inside the judges, Messrs. L. H. Jullien, J. L. Alver- son, G, A. Tracy, J. 8. P. Hogan and August Bruehl, and the receivers, M . E Fleishell and M. D. Egan, kept on the ballot-box. The members of the union voted through a window on the corner. The lls were opened at 1 o'clock, and during the thour a large number of voters from the government printing office, or the “swamp.” in printers’ lingo, deposited their ballots. “The polls will be open until seven _ o'clock, before which hour, the compositors from the down-town of- fices and all from the government office will have opportunity to vote. There were many electioneering devices adopted. One candi- date had a man_ parading the huge canvass bearing his name. apparently, a close and lively fight for the office of president. The candidates are Messrs. O. 8. Montz, William R. Ramsey and D. 8. Walton. The other offices to be filled and the candidates are as follows: Vice-President—Jas.H. Brooks, W.W.

This portion of H street is wholly useless as 4 street for public travel and has always been so. It is exceedingly useful for the accommo- dation of the public in the matter of unl coal and other heavy freight from the cars the company into wagons. By the use of this otherwise useless portion of the street New Jersey and Virginia avenues will be largely relieved of railroad cars. Congress will convene in December next, and I personally entertain hopes that legisla~ tion will be had which shall perma- nently settle this troublesome — ques- tion with reference to the accupetion of streets for the accommodation of the con- signees of goods. This track on H street was put there very much more for the public bene- fit than for the accommodation of the railroad com y.
