CREEDON KNOCKED OUT He Couldn’t Stand Twe Rounds in Front of Fitssimmons. The Latter Challenges Corbett for $10,000 a Side—Purse of $25,000 Put Up. Bob Fitzsimmons defeated Dan Creedon before the Olympic Club of New Orleans last night in the vecond round for a purse of $5,000 and the middle-weight champion- ship of the world. Before leaving the ring Fitzsimmons tssued a challenge to James J. Corbett for the teavy-weight champfon- ship and $10,000 a side before any club in the country. Within ten minutes after the termination of the fight Presflent Scholl of the Olympic CTub telegraphed to Corbett, offering a purse of $25,000 for a meeting between Cor- bett and Fitzsimmons before the Olympic Club at any time and any weight. This was in accordance with articles which Scholl had drawn up and which were signed by Fitzsimmons a month ago. It Is the belfef of the multitude In the crescent city that Fitzsimmons can whip Corbett, and the latter will carry a fortune from New Orleans if he whips lanky Bob. o'clock p. m. there were probably 5.000 spectators present. The amphitheater was brilliantly lighted. The ropes of the stakeless tnclosure were drawn tight, and Presented a bright appearance, with thelr red covering, around which was wrapped a golden cord. reedon was the first to enter the ring, 'y followed by Fitzsimmons. Creedon eighed 158 pounds and Fitzsimmons 1-2. The seconds were: For Creedon— Thomas Tracy, Micky Dunn, Tommy White and Charll> Daly; for Fitzstmmons— Jack Dempsey, James Dwyer, “Kid Me- Coy and Sam Stern. After the usual instructions the men ad- wanced to the center of the ring, and at B15 the fight was on, Reb Laughed. Creedon opened the first round with his left, but swung wild. He came back and touched Bob iightly with the left on the neck. Bob laughed and “thumped hts right hard on the jaw. Creedon got In on the stomach, but Bob rapped him hard on the chest and neck.

He got in one on Bob's ribs, but he caught the left and right on the head and neck, and a fearful left on the Jaw floored him. He waited for the nine to be cyunted before rising, and Fitz stepped back and gave him plenty of time to get squarely on his feet. Creedon tried to get in close, but Fitzsimmons met him squarely with his left In the chest and a terrible right-hand swing on the jaw. Cree- don went back about fifteen feet, and Bob followed quickly, and began to use his head for a punching bag. Creedon did not stand a ghost of a chance, and vainly essayed to swing his arms. He was bleeding from the aose and mouth. Fitz used his pile-driving left for the knockout. He drew back, sized up the coveted landing place, and sent the blood-covered giove in like a shot direct for the mouth. The blow landed with terrific force on the mouth. Creedon went down like a log and never stirred. Bob strolled over to his corner, and quietly observed to Dwyer, “He won't come back.” Referee Duffy counted the ten and out, and the crowd went perfectly wild with excitement. Pandemonium broke loose, and the referee called vainly for quiet. Creedon’s seconds jumped into the ring and carried their un- conscious principal to his corner. The fight lasted just f.ur minutes and forty seconds. It was fully five minutes before Creedon re- gained consciousness, and he hardly real- iced where he was until long after the fight. Marvelous Work. The work of Fitzsimmens tn the second round was the most marvelous ever seen hers. The three right-handers which Cree- don recetved on the head fn one, two, three order amazed the spectators and dazed the recipient, but they were nothing from an artistic pugilistic point of view compared with the three heavy lefts, delivered in the sama ore, two, three order on Creedon's nose, which floored the latest aspirant for middle-welght honors, and caused him to fall the easiest prey of all Robert Fitz- simmons’ adversaries. The main fighting of the battle was done in the center of the ring, the river sand of which was plowed up more by the foot work of the two men in the actual fighting time—which was four minutes and forty geconds—than {t was ever before even in the all-night battles. Creedon was carried to his corner gasp- ing hard for breath, and showing traces of blood trickling from his nose. He was com- paratively unhurt during the first round, and went to his corner smiling happily and chatting with his attendants. The infer- ence {s,then,that he was beaten In one min- ute and forty seconds, the time of the sec- ond round. His seconds and backers were startled beyond measure, and even those who desired to see Fitzsimmons defeated— and there were many of these—were over- awed and full of wonderment at the tall ‘Timarue man’s marvelous fistic skill, Corbett Next. A feature in the importance of the match was the bearing it had to a pros- pective meeting between Fitzsimmons and Corbett. Fitzsimmons has been most per- severing in his cfforts to secure a match with the champlon heavy-welght, and from time to time has been put off with the re- minder that he was not in Corbett’s class. Corbett first named Choyinski! as the man Lanky Bob had whip before he could talk of a match with “Pompadour Jim.” Fitzsimmons whipped Choyinski and then he Was told by the champton that he would have to fight Creedon to place himself in a position to-taHe fight with Corbett. Comparatively little was known of Cree- don by the general public, although the visitors from St. Leuls at New Orleans were enthusiastic in thelr praises of the man. Despite that fact, however, Fitzsim- mons remained a prohtbitive favorite, the pool room odds being quoted at from 3 to 10 to 1 to 8, while us good as 5 to 2 could be had agalast Creedon, SENATORS PLAYED DECATURS, The Baltimores Tightened Thelr Hold on the Pennant.

Uncertainty About Division of Gate Recetpts. Messrs. N. E. Young and C. H. Byrne, the committee appointed for the purpose, have completed the regulations to govern the contest for the “Temple cup” base ball trophy offered by Mr. W. C. Temple. The league team finishing second shall have the right to challenge the team winning first Place to a series of seven games, no more, and the winner of four games shall be en- titled to the trophy. The games are to be Played under the rules governing regular championship games. Mr. Young has the right to select and assign two umpires for each game. The entire receipts are to be the sole property of the players under contract to the competing clubs, and are to be divided—65 per cent to the winning and 35 per cent to the losing team. According to the Baltimore Sun, how- ever, Mr. Temple last night telegraphed that the club that won the pennant is to get 65 per cent of the money whether it wins the majority of the games for the trophy or not. Proposed Bowling League. Steps are being taken to reorganize the District Amateur Bowling League, which was made up last winter of clubs repre- senting the Carrell Institute, Columbia Athletic Club, Washington Athletic Club and the Young Men‘s Catholic Club. It Is desired to have elght clubs in the league this year instead of four. The old league was officered as follows: Jacob W.

While a well-filled open trolley car of the Lancaster avenue branch of the Philadel- phia Traction Company was proceeding out Walnut street, Philadelphia, yesterday, Mo- torman James Dulan fainted and fell to the floor. The car dashed forward with no one to check its speed, and the passengers, many of them women, became panic strick- en, Police Sergeant McDonald, who was a passenger, rushed to the forward end, shouted to the driver of a cart which was cn the track just ahead, to Jump for his life. Before the man could do so, the run- away car struck the cart with great force, throwing the passengers about in every direction. Mrs. Jackson of 1821 South 20th street was the most seriously injured, one arm being broken. Sergeant McDonald was thrown clear over the front of the car and severely injured about the face and arms. The driver of the cart was also badly hurt. All three were taken to a hospital, ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS The Sale of the Steamer Howard Cassard Ordered. Right of Way for the Falls Charch Rallway—Low Diet for a Tired Chain Gang Recruit. In the circuit court yesterday the case of Franke against tne steamer Howard Cas- sard was argued and by the consent of all parties a decree for sale was entered, which means that the boat will be sold at public auction to satisfy the claim. It ts said that nearly $200,000 have been spent on the construction of the boat. It will be remembered that some years ago Robert M. Fryer, an engineer, came to this city and endeavored to raise money vith which to guild the Pocahontas, which was te be 640 feet lor.g, with a 6)-foot beam, and was to make the trip across the ocean in at least four days when completed. A com- pany was organized and the foundation for the keel of the boat was lald, but this was as far as it ever went. Failing in this Mr. Fryer went to Baltimore and interested some capitalists in the scheme, among whom was Howard Cassard, the lard deal- er, after whom the present boat {s named. The Cassard was built as a model and ts 224 feet long, with an 18-foat beam. She has never been able to do what was ex- pected, though Mr. Fryer scems confident that in the end he will be successful. It is sald that the Cassard could not carry enough fuel. The lines of the boat are very pretty and her machinery, which {s com- plicated, was designed by Mr. Fryer, She has been tled at the wharf In this city for some time past, having been brought — from Baltimore, where she was uailt. G. Powell Hill of Richmond is on a visit to relatives in this city. Miss Jessie Brent, who has been visit- ing her brother, Corporation Attorney Sam- uel G. Brent, has gone to New York for a short stay. Mr. and Mrs. Brent have gone to Boston, making the trip by sea from Baltimore. William H. Deavers and Mary W: both of this city, ry Walker, were married in Washing- ten yesterday. Z The laying of the track for the Royal street extension of the electric railway has been completed to King street, and the con- nection will be made tomorrow. Miss Mary Taylor, who has been spend- ing the summer at Berryville, has returned to the city for the winter. Charles J. Wise has returned from the Yellow Sulphur Springs. Mayor Strauss has prescribed the bread and water die. for James Clift, a member of the chain gang, who was too tired to work. It is more than probable that he will get rested in twenty-four hours, as this medicine generally effects a curé In that length of time. R. Lee Fields and Miss Allie Hamilton will be married on the 9th of October. The Episcopal High School and the Theo- logical Seminary opened their sessions yes- teréa: Dr. William Gibson of this city went to Remington yesterday evening to attend Dr. Burroughs, who is very ill. steamer Arrowsmith, she resumed her trips to the lower river last night. In the corporation court yesterday the final decree was entered in the case of Semmes agt. Semmes. George K. Hefflebower of Fauquier coun- ty, who is very well known in this city, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head in Baltimore on Tuesday. The schooner Francis Miller, loaded with ‘The new shaft having been placed in the | lumber, sailed from this port yesterday for Potomac creek tay Com- pany has been secured, with the exception of that through three tracts. These tracts will be secured by condemnation, and five freeholders will be appointed at the October term of the county court to condemn and appraise the land. It is said that as soon as the entire right of way is secured the work of constructing the road will be com- menced and pushed to completion. Rumor has it that Gov. O'Ferrall will be the choice of the politicians of the state to succeed Senator John W. Daniel. The city council will commence its regu- lar semi-monthly meetings on the second Tuesday in October. Several matters of im- portance are ready to be acted upon. The merchants generally say that busi- ness is opening up briskly and the fall trade promises to be better than for some time past. They are even now kept busy from early morn until late at night filling orders from country merchants and others for the winter's supply. George Hayden has been appointed to a position In the government printing office through the influence of B. 15. Meredith. There seems to be no doubt In the ranks of the democratic party that E. F. Meredith, the Incumbent, will be returned to Congress in the fall elections. Tne democrats are making an active canvass of the district, and the three candidates, Meredith, McCaul and Mason, meet often in joint debate. They will have a discussion in this city at ar early date. In the corporation court Tuesday the will of the late Ferdinand Knight was admitted to probate with his widow Annie E. Knight, who is the benefici » aS execuirix. Vir- ginfa Key Dalngerfield, widow of the late Henry Daingerfield, qualified as adminis- tratrix on the estate, and was appointed guardian of the five children. In the case of Hooe’s administrator against Hooff, the report of the commissioner was confirmed and a deed ordered.

The prisoner, who has been confined in an insane asylum since the murder, was much aged, and did not appear to appreciate his grave position. Several witnesses testified as to the shoot- rg, but no material testimony, other than has been published, was adduced. is well illustrated by the fact that RUPTURE <P others, are now Temoved without the perils of cut- PILE TUMORS, other diseases of the however To Prevent a Property Sale. Blanche Carter, some time ago, be- came the owner of sub lot 14, block 41, north grounds of Columbian College, sub- Ject to a deed of trust of $5,000, made Feb- ruary 16, 1893, and to a deed of trust of $2,504, the latter deed being given June 3, 1898, by Edward L. Gies and wife. Yesterday Miss Carter filed a bill in equity against Frank D. Foster and Wm. A. Wells, trus- tees, under the last-named deed, to prevent them from selling the property this after- noon. She claims that she has fulfilled all the requirements of her undertaking, and claims that the defendants are about to act contrary to the conditions of the last-nam- di Judge McComas granted a temporary re- straining order, returnable October 3.
