Kingsman, of Capitol Hill, were out driving in South Washington, on their return home they approached tie rail- road crossing at 414 street and Virginia avenue and were horrified to find that an approacbing train w: most upon them. ‘The next instant the gates were lowered, striking the horse in the face, frightening him and rendering him unmanageable. A large erowd witnessed the occurrence and several gentlemen rushed to the rescue of the ladies and child, but the horse was wild with fright and succeeded in getting away. Mr. J.T. Wright, who keeps a saloon at the corner of 434 street and Virginia avenue, rushed to the rescue and at great risk of his own I!fe seized the horse by the bit and knocked the animal down by a blow of his fist. It was only through the courage and presence of mind of Mr. Wright that the lives of Mrs. ELEVEN DESPERATE ROUNDS. A Prize Fight by Moonlight up the -River. WALTER COLEMAN, OF THIS CITY, AND JAMES DORSEY, OF BALTIMORE, BOTH COLORED MEX, THE COMBATANTS—TWO HUNDRED DISTRICT MEN ON “THE EXCURSION.” A prize fight took place last night on the upper Potomac between Walter Coleman, of this city, and Jas. Dorsey, of Baltimore, for a purse of $100, and resulted in the declaration of a draw after eleven despergte rounds, Both are colored middle weights. All the local sports were out in force, beside including sev- eral lawyers and doctors from this city. The tip that there was going to be a fight was given out during the afternoon, and by the time the little steamboat Frances was ready to pull out from Passeno’s boat-house upward of two hun- dred people occupied her decks, The boat at first steamed down the river (to throw the police off the scent in case they were on the watch), but turned around when opposite the Washington monument and silently steamed to the scene of battle, a short distance this side of the Chain bridge. THE RING was pitched{in‘a picturesque spot, and was of the regulation twenty-four foot pattern. The ring was illuminated by small gasoline circus lamps, and the picture presented as the eager spectators crowded around it was a study in itself. Bob Kilpatrick was chosen referee, and he had no sooner entered the ring than he was followed by Dorsey, the Baltimore boy, clad in blue trunks and red stockings. A coat was thrown over him by Nally, his second. His op- ment, a tall gleam of darkness, followed irectly, assisted by his friend, Jimmy Hughes, and his second, George Northridge. ‘His tights were blue. Frank Hatton was chosen referee, and the men ordered to ‘make ready.” Time was called at 12:25, THE OPENING ROUNDS. In the first round Coleman stood firmly with a high guard, while Dorsey fiddled for an open- ing. It came sooner than was expected and Coleman received a stinger on the ribs. Close- in fighting followed, time being called with both men on the ropes, Second round—Coleman didn’t wait for an opening, but rushed at his opponent and landed repeatedly, Cries were heard of “fifty to twenty-five on Coleman.” Third round—The tall black looked confi- dent and the other savage, A little feintin; q then a lead by Coleman, which was clearly ducked, Dorsey slipping aside and landing a vicious upper cut, putting a lump on Coleman’s eye. The round closed with a clinch, Fourth round—Heavy in-fighting character- ized this round. The wily Baltimorean showed great ring tactics in the beginning, but was completely dazed as the big black rushed him to his corner and nearly took him off his feet with a full left on his smellez. Cries of “foul” from Dorsey not allowed. The fifth round was characterized by more hard in-fighting, the men clinching at every chance, FIRST BLOOD. The sixth round was another hot one. an exchange of blows Coleman led and landed on Dor: nose, bringing the claret, First blood for Coleman claimed and allowed, The seventh round found both men cautious, Dorsey was playing for Coleman's body, and landed several times, drawing the big black up, The eighth round was perhaps the hottest of the mill, After a lively bit of boxing there wis a clinch near the ropes, butthe men broke away quickly, and from then until time was called it was “bang, bang,” a veritable old- time slugging match. When time was called Coleman cume to his corner with After Kingsman and sister were saved. ‘The cause of the accident was the failure of the flagman to have proper lights displayed and his neglect to lower the gates before the train reached the crossing. —_——-.— Real Estate Matters.

Dorsey was tired when time was called for the ninth round, but the black was after him when he came to the scratch, and sent him to his corner just as time was called with a swing- ing right-hander. “I dun got enuf,” cried Dersey; “he fouled me and I ain't gwine to fight no more.” With that he put on his coat and attempted to leave the ring, but his friends prevailed upon him to fight another round, Coleman wanted to do all the work, and as soon as the chance presented itself he reached for Dorsey and received a heavy counter in the stomach, but it didn’t faze him, and his supe- rior weight was telling on Dorsey.
