"THE OwMmAHA Daiy BEE SEVENTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA. MONDAY MORNING, Y STl AN i G 0 AUGUST i A R G v by N L. 4 YA 29. 1887. ANOTHER SUNDAY FIGHT, Ou an 1sland in the Missouri River, Twonty Miles from Omaba. A BLOODY TEN-ROUND CONTEST. Lindsay Knocks Out Olarke—The Officers of the Law Unable to luterferc—Scvoral Arrests Made in Omaha. Yesterday morning at 8:30 the steamer J. M. Abbott left her moorings at the foot of Davenport street and steamed up the Missouri. She had on board about 100 excursionists, some of whom belonged in Council Blufls. All were benton witness- g . A PRIZE FIGHT between Jim Lindsay and J. Clarke. The principals were taken on board at dif- ferent places up the river. Ularke was the victorin a fight held under similar auspices about four weeks ago. Hois & man about twenty-five years of age and weighs 150 pounds. Lindsay is a hod-carrier, and is ten pounds lighter than his antagonist. Refreshments were supplied on the trip, and the excursion- ists were not slow to avail themselves of the accommodations. The drinks lost none of their apvetizing nature because of the novelty of the circumstances under which they were served. The progressof the boat against the current was slow, and the trip would have been tedious had not the stimulants and some versatile spirits tended to relieve the tedium of the ride. As a consequence, it was not until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when the boat reached a point about twenty miles un the river. Here AN ISLAND about two acres in extent was found, and after some delay, the whole party went ashore, while the boat was safely moored. The contest was to be according to the MARQUIS OF QUEENSBURY RULES, with two-ounce gloves, $75 for the win- ner, nothing for the loser. But little tile was lost. THE RING was pitched at the upper end of the island, on a spot where the sun had dried the quagmire into a firm, though somewhat dusty footing. Clarke was the first to appear, andducked under the ropes with a_bashful smile, in recog- nition of the small ovation granted him. Lindsay followed promptly, and was flvfln a similarly generous greeting. Both stripped well, neither seeming to have the advantage in point of training, although Claf®e overweighed Lindsay about eight pounds. McHenry John- son, or the ‘“Black Star," as this colored gentleman styles himself, wielded the sponge and gargling bottle for his old-time protege, Clarke. Lindsay rejoiced 1n the skilled and nervy backing of Tommy Miller, the feather- weight, and Arthur Rothery, the experi- enced groomsman of fighting flesh. e(tcx some little dela; enry Towns as agreed upon as referee, while Jack Nugent and Homer Kirke held the stop watch. On the toss Clarke caught the shightly disadvantageous corner facing the sun, but was little handicapped by the situation, as the wind, which swept clouds of dust from the desert isle, blew directly in the face of his opponent. As an evidence of self-confidence, Clarke stepped across the ring and shook in s face a $5 bill, which was v covered by the latter’s friends, The betting was spirited, with Clarke somewhat a favorite, but Kearney, the White Elephant man, and one or two others grabbed everything that came agamst Lindsay. First round—At the call of time, both men bounded from their corners, Clarke g‘winz every evidence of determination ‘to do or die,” while Lindsay wore a pleasant air and executed a few song and dance steps in the prehminary sx):\rriuf. Suddenly Clarke led out with a body blow which scraped a lopg red furrow over Lindsay’sribs. The latter countered with his left and followed 1t up with a swinging back hand blow that earned him the credit of the tirst knook-down and raised a welt on Clarke's cheek. The remainder of the three minutes was spenc at sparring. Second round—Clarke came to the scratch wide awake, but inclined to be wary. He countered Lindsay's body- blow on the eye, inflicting the merest scratch, More cautious sparring con- sumed the round, Third round—If Clarke hud been war before, he was now certainly frightened, for he put himself entirely on the defen- sive. After afew moments wasted in tacties, Lindsay, made a rush, put in sev- eral swinging face blows, and sprang back with blood stains on his gloves while the red streams which poured from Clarke’s nostrils gave Lindsay the additional credit of first blood. Fourth round—Lindsay did all the fighting, thumping Jlarke right and left, winding up by spiliing Clarke into the dust for the second time. The crowd was now thoroughly satistied of Lindsay's tighting capacity and the geuneral sympathy for him was expressed in the words of en- couragement which went up from all sides, despite the referee’s endeavors to maintain silence. Fifth round—Lindsay once more set in whacking away at his larger antagonist, and thumping him at will unti! Clarke tangled himself up in his feet and fell down, as time was called. Sixth round—Neither man was suffe ing for wind, and Clarke evidently di termined to overcome his fear of acti service. Ho made one wild swipe whic nearly upset him, as Lindsay evaded it, and then settled down to more sparring. Seventh Round—It was hero that the excitement of the event got in its first work, Clarke squirted a jot of biood through his teeth, mopped some of the red stains from his nose with the buck of his glove, and sailed in with a “now-or-never” style, which deserved a better result. It was tooth and toe-nail, hammer and tongs, for ® long time, until Lindsay got a dazer on Clarke's forehead, followed by a smasn in the check, which, for the fourth tiwe, upset Mr. Clarke. A small row followed, as Clarke's friends, and especially Clarke himself, elaimed a foul, but nobody else could see 1t, and the mill ground on. Eighth round--Once more Clarke en- deavored to do the leading, and rushea Lindsay into the corner upon the ropes, where thoy twice clinched, with ~ some vicious short arm chopping. Each time they were torn apart, and each time they " renewed the It savagely, until the three minutes Ninth round--This consisted of mere maneuvering, the men sparring more for wind than for chances, although neither of them scemed seriously out of breath, * It was in the tenth and last round that both the gladiators went in to use up their harbored energies for all that might powe of it, It was pelt and chug, thump and smash around the narrow arena until through a sudden rift in the cloud of dust that enveloped the combatants, Clarke whas seen to stagger under a heavy left- hander in the jaw. “Follow 1t up,” *“Give 1t to him,” shouted Lindsay’s friends. He was not slow in nmlnF upon these behests, and singling out the touchy spot under Clarke's right ear he landed there his right with his whole weight behind it. Clarke dropved like a plank, while the blood was gushing from his mouth and nose, and although his friends and backers put in the preseribed ten seconds with words of encouragement he was not able to give any signs of life. THE ARREST. When the boat returned to Omaha about 6 o'clock Iust evening, Chief of Po- lice Seavey, with a squad of officers and the police patrol, stood concealed behind the cars,ready to welcome the excursion- ists when they were fairly landed. Jack Nugent, Ed Rothery, P. H. Neff, D. W, Weymouth and Lon George were hustled behind the bars on the charge of aiding and abetting a prize fight. But, on the advice of the county attorney and sherif, they were discharged on the ground that the tight had taken place outside of the Jjurisdiction of the Omaha police. Chats of the Ring. “Well, all you people that want to and can get the ‘tip’ before hand ecan attend these prize fights,” said a well-known society and business man yesterday, re- ferring to a prize fight. ““I don't care to attend any more,” he continued. “I went to the Fell-Hanley fight, and of all the times I ever experi- enced that was a thousand times the worst. Why, you know what ‘'a small space is under the car seats? Well, 1 got down under a seat and I tell you I re- mained there. Of all the things 1 ever read of none equaled that occa- sion. I was standing up near the door ofi the passenger coach when the first thing I knew, a gun went off right beside my head. Everybody seemed to have a revolver and all bagan to ban, away at the same moment. A man should judge weighing 200 pounds made a dive through the car window and es- caped. You can imagine how bad it was, for a person to run such a risk as that. I squeezed myself-under a car seat and couldn’t what went on after that. The passengers piled out onto the engine and tender to get away. The conductor was already n the cab. When the train stopped each man took to his heels. One car was lit- erally shot to picces. 1f one prize fight isn’t enough for a man to sce, I'll give in,”’ K 5 “I'd Like to have been able to have at- tended the fight, to-day,” said a knight of the green cloth yesterday afternoon, “‘but 1 didn’t get up early enough. Isaw Jim Lindsay in Omaha, asleep at a table last winter one night, when he was waked up and put before a well trained man and he took his thumps in great shape. It was the first fight, Two men had been announced to fight in Clow’s place. One of them went back on his word and some one had to come to time to quiet the crowd. Lindsay was asked if he wanted to make some money, He said ‘yes,’ and they made him face a man too much for him. Lindsay then went into training. He’s done up several since. He’s got lots of pluck and is a striker.” Guarding lowa Mérality. [From Our Council Bl:ffs Correspondent.] For three or four days past it had been known among a sclect few that a prize fight was to take place Sunday morning. County Attorney Dailey was aware of the fact, as on Saturday it had been the topic of the town, and little or no attempt at secrecy was made. Tickets were on sale at a number of places, and almost anyone who had $3 to give up for that kind of sport had little difficuity in se- curing one. Saturday Chief vey, of Omaha, and County Attorney Dailey, of Council Bluffs, were in telephonic communication and they decided to see that no infringement of the law took place within their respect- ive jurisdiction. Colonel Dailey with Sheriff Perry Reel and Deputy James O'Neil ecarefully and quietly laid their plans on Saturday evening about 7 o'clock, and the sheriff went to his home. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning Deputy Sheriff O’Neil took a team and went to Crescent City where he joined the sheriff, and a posse Wis formsd cowposed of fisty of Polico Sea- men, - Colonel Daley remained in Council Bluffs and awaited telephone message from Omaha that the prize-fizhters, with their friends, had left the dock on the steamer J. M. Abbott and started up the river, He then repaired to Dohany’s livery stable, it then being about 9 o’clock, and getting on horseback, started for the place of meeting the sheriff and his posse. They kept well back from the river and patiently watched the steamer Abbott, which had a barge in tow, and also the steamer C. E. Mayne, which fol- lowed with less than a dozen persons on board. ~ The steamer went about four miles above FKlorence, Neb., when those on board discovered the sheriff’s posse on the lowa side. . It was probably the tention to land near the mouth of the Boyer on the Iowa side, but'the appearance ot the sherifi’s armed guard no doubt changed their plans. ~The boats then turned down stream and landed at 2:45 o’clock about a mile south of Florence on an island on the Nebraska side of the river. All hands left the boats and went back from shore where the ring was pitched. A messenger was then sent to this ¢! He telephoned to the Omaha author what had happened, and the Omaha chief-of-police stated that he would at- tend to the excursionists upon their re- turn to that city. In the meantime the sherifi”s posse re- mained at & point up the river where they could wateh the movements of the boats. The fight, however, took place without any interference from the au- thorities, who were unuble to reach the law-breakers. At 5:05 o'clock tne steamer Abbott landed at Judson’s sand bank, a little over four miles north ot Broadway, and the six or seven Council Bluffs men who attended, left the barge, along with the principals. They all walked into town. Shortly after they landed they saw the sherifi’s posse “coming and the two fighters, with the man who had them in charge, hid for a short time, after which they walked into the city, arriving shortly after dusk. The pugilists both occupied the same room murbml in Council Bluffs last mght and seemingly neither of them were any the worse off for their days recreation. Shortly after the steamer had pulled off, from the landing at _the sand bank, a squad of Council Bluffs police reached the: rver fronp in ~ charge of Cnief Mullen, but all they could do was to wateh the boats make their Omaha landing, Of all the tired men in Pottawattamie county last night it was Sheriff Reel's vosse, who patrolled the shores of Iowa all day without a meal. MAGNIFICENT SPORT. A Grand Showing of Entries For the Coming Races. The school children will probably. rejoice that the fair association has. set apart one special doy for their entertaiument, The has been set. It is Tuesday, the second day of the fair, and all the school children will be welcome. It Is possible that the preachers may not be there in all their glory that day, although they have one and all ac- cepted the friendly invitations of the associa- tion—but enough of them will be on hand to make the oceasion one of interest and value to them all. The volunteer firemen from New York—the gentlemen who have amassed gray hairs and wealth In equal proportions—may not be there on that particular day, but they will be there all the sawe on the day appointed for their coming, and thelr coming will not bein yain. The veteran volunteers of Omaha will be there with their guests, and the day will be oneof unalloyed pleasure. While the school children may not, possibly, find the same pleasure in the sports to which more mature minds are devoted, it Is possible tnat the gentiemen of the cloth may not be so in- different to an exhibition of” Lonest sport. Without wishing to call their particular at- tention to the attractions which the fair will present, the attention of the horse-loving public may be called to the wagnificent lst of entries: ‘The following s the list as completed at the secretary 8 oftice Saturday : FIRST DAY, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th, ‘Trotting—2-year-old colt; stakes, purse No. 1, §700: association adds $i00.

IHad it_not been for the good fielding ot Bader Voss would have made a home run in the first game.

A Oorsican Murders His Wifs and Two Children in Pa; HE NOW FEIGNS MADNESS. The New Ohinese Fleet at Portamonth —Its Officers and Men—Somes thing About Japan’s Navy— O:her Foreign News, Cut His Children's Throats, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Benett.] Panis, (Via Havre) August 28.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Beg. ‘The record of Parisian crime was swol to-day by another atrocious triple murder com- mitted within a stones throw of the Arc de Triumph by an oculist named Padrona. This morning between 5 and 6 o'clock the tenants of Ruede Brey, where Padrona occupied small apartments on the tifth floor with his young and delicate wife and three littlo children, were awakened by agonized cries and the sound of pistol shots, Au alarm was glven but no one had the courage to enter, the oculists * apartment. While all of the neighbors were huddled to- gether on the landing Padrona suddenly darted out ot his door, dashed down stairs brandishing a blood stained Corsican knife in his hand, and before he could be stopped took refuge in his cellar, Presently he reappeared with a bottle of wine and this time the bystanders seizod him and handed himover to the police authorities, On enterin ; his apartinent a terrible sizht was seen, Mme. Padrona lay on he bed with six bullet holes in her face and neck. In an adjoining bed-room a little lad of two lay on his cot with his head literally severed from his body. Near him was the body of his sister, Marle, with her throat cut. Her baby hands were clasped as theugh imploring her father to spare her. Beside Madame Padrona, a baby three months old lay peacefully sleeping, un- harmed. It is supposed that after a quarrel with his wife, Padrona got out of bed, loaded hisrevolver and shot her. Hearing what was passing, the territied children began to cry and the murderer, seeing this, slit their throats to silenco thom. Padrona, who is a Corsican, was jealous, an in- veterate smoker and an absinthe drinker. He pretends he killed his wife to avenge him- self for her infidelity. When arrested he sald, *‘Let ms have drink before you take me off; Iam thirsty.” Since then his language has been incoherent, whether he is mad or shamming mad to save himself, Coming in the heels of the excitement about Pran- zinl, this fresh crime made a great sensation. In Paris itis generally thought the result will be to hasten Pranzini’s execution. Japan’s Navy. LCopyright 1857 by Jamzs Gordon Bennett.] LoNDON, August 28.—[New York Heral d Cable—Special to the Bre.]—''The Herald has been at Portsmouth inquiring into the Chinese naval vessels there and would now like some statistics touching iyour Japanese naval matters,” said I to the secretary of tha Japanese legation in its quarters in Cav- endish square. He was a hand- some gentleman of his typs and spoke English as picturesquely as he was dressed. *‘Wa have forty vessels, twen- ty-seven of which are of the new style of warships. These vessels are manned by, all told, 40,000 ofticers and men. All of them are Japanese, no foreigners of any kind being employed aboard. Our vessels are different from the war ships of China masmuch as theirships are commanded by Englishmen. ‘The only Europeans we employ are from the naval instructors in our colleze. As to dockyards, we have three stations, viz.: Sa- seho, Kure and Gokosuga, while two more are contemplating bullding but the sites are not settled. These three stations are also used as cooling depots and victualling yards. We are so much progress- ing at the present time that five or six years hence we shall have quite a new navy to what we have now, and we Intend to keep improving day by day. At the present time our naval attache, Toulon, superintending the building of two new coast detence vessels besides which we ourselves our building 8ix eruisers at our own stockyards in Japan. This step of increasing our strength was decided upon two years ago. Of course our navy is inferior in strength to Chlna, but their couatry is much larger and natu- rally they require many more vessels to guard it. One comparison we are proud of is, whereas China has so many ships of war they are compelled to employ foreigners to build and command them, in our country we build and command them ourselves. The question of coast defense is now the princi- pal topic of conversation in Japan and the wealthy people of the country have volunta- rily subseribed their money for that purpose, in addition to whieh sabseriptions our government have within the last few months inposed a new tax which they call an income tax. The vroceeds are going for naval and military purposes, including the defense of our coasts, The payment ot this tax com- mences at 300 yen, equal to the United States dollar, and upwards. For 300 yen the charge 1510 yen, and so on in the same proportion until 1,000 yen are reached. when the rate of tax increases. Now we have plenty of money, we intend to shortly commence building new fast ships-of-war in Europe. The New Chinese Fleet, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] PonrrsyouTi, August 28.—|Ni Herald Cable—Special to the Bre would an admiral only a quarter of a century ago liave thouzht of the phrase “Inspector of the Chinese Squadron,” yet thisis verified to- day by the inspection of the ( the Chinese minister to Germany, Ching, who arrived for that purpose from Berlin yesteraay,and was received by a salute of seventeen guns, handled by Chinese gun- ners on board the Chis Yuan, King Yuan, Lai Yuan and a torpedo boat. These are all to sail for Chinese waters August 31. They have remained here In order that certain minor de- fects in the ships’ fittings may be made good. Advantage is also being taken of the oppor- tunity offered by allowing the oflicers and men of the Chinese fleet to visit the English ships in the harbor and the dock yard, Ad- miral Lang will be in command until Taku is reached, when these new ships wilt be merged into the existing Chi- nueso fleet, under Flag Admiral Ying. The commander of the Ching Yuan is Captain Yih. He has eleven English and fourteen Chiness officers, with a present complement of 150 men. The Chis Yuan, has Captain Yang with nine English and fif- teen Chinese officars, and the same comple- ment of men, Captain Lin is on the Ching Yuan, What will be the complements when the ships reach Chinese waters has not yet been determined, but they will certainly be more numerous than at present, 1In fact, as the captain of the flag ship Ching Yuan,with evident pride over his excellent knowledge of English, observed to the Herald, *“These present crews are only the working navi- gators to China.” He was wuch'pleased with ile attentions he and his comrades and men have received here and he was espeoially proud - that when ber - majesty. left Usborne on Wednesday evening for Balmoral, the royal yach$ was directed to stean round the ships slowly so that the queen might closely inspect them. 'T'he launch companies have run special excursions to Spithead, and when the occupants of the erowded decks have cheerad at thelr lustiest the Chinese officers have not been less ready to waive their handkerchiefs in reply, while the men have grinned ¢ood naturedly as the excursionists have stared wondering at the cabalistic letters on the ships sides or at the superbly gorgeous Chinese ensign. One such party were atforded great amusement yester- day at sight of four Chinamen swimming for their lives. A flat bottomed purt, shaped much like a tub, was occupied by five men who were painting the outside of a flagship and as the tiny craft was scarcely capable of holding more than two men, she was quickly submerged, Four sail- ors were soon in the water, laughing and struggling with each other till rescued by a private boat, while the fifth man was drift- ing away In the punt. One Chinese sailor on board rushed down the gangway, directing the solitary occupant of the punt how to es- cape, and his instructions were being fully carried out when the luckless instructor him- self fell into the boat and drifted more than 500 yards before hie, too, was saved. An unfortunate accident has befallen to Mr. Charles May, the torpedoist who was sent to the Chinese government as an oflicer instructor. While he was teaching a man how to stop shells the welght of the missile he was handiing proved too much for him and eaused him such internal injuries that the fleet will be obliged to sail without him. ‘The funeral of a Chinese sailor named Lin Pin Lin, aged twenty-six, of Ihelai Yiran on Friday attracted a good deal of attention at Portsmouth, and though the ceremony was performed 8o early as half past eight a. m., before the cemetery was reached Mr. R. W. Beale, agent for the Chinese government, the only Englishman in the procession, was joined by some hundreds ot his fellow coun- trymen who were very much impressed with the solemnity of the silent ritual. Captain Kew ofticiated and he was accompanied by four of his officers, four men in charge of the sacrifices and twenty others, These constituted the funeral party. Then incense was lighted at the foot of the grave and two rows of plates lald out, containing imeat, oggs and tish. ‘The Chinese tuneral party then knelt down and gave three profound salaams. Af- ter prayer the food was replaced in buckets, and, earth having been sprinkled on the cof- fin, the ceremony concluded. One of the captains said to me to-day: *The Chinese navy may be said to be only six years old, for it was not until 1581 that our covernment became convinced that the old junks were no longeradapted to the purpose of warfare, and it was then that they ordered built for them In Germany the Chinese Nan Shu and Nan Shen, which are sister ships. Two years ago there were added the iron- clads Yang Yuan and Chen Yuan, armed with heavy guns and the cruiser Chi Yuan and the cruisers constitute the next additions. As to the future of the Chinese navy, it is clear that rapid strides are in contemplation, as immediately Ad- miral Lang’s fleet reaches Taku orders will be placea for four other shivs, the type of which will depend upon the manuer in which the new vessels behave on thelr way out. A torpedo boat floatilla is also in hands, and all the crafts are to be of the latest pat tern. The crews of the ships consist entirely of Chinamen, all of whom have passed thorough training on shipboards, while in the upper grades there is a mixture of Eng- lish and Chinamen. There is, for instance, one English doctor, Dr. Brown, who acts as fleet surgeon, while each ship carries its own native medical officer. The books are kept both by English and native writers and in each ship there Is both an English and a Chinese chief engineer, but when 'T'aku is reached the Englishmen will be reduced in number.” On leaving Spithead next Wednesday, the fleet will proceed direct to Gibralter, thence to Port Said, where they will take in coal. They will also call at Suez, Alden, Colombo, where they will again coal, Singapore, Hong Kong, Chefoo and Yaku. The voyage is ex- pected to occupy seventy-two days, consist- ing of fifty-two days at sea and twenty in harbor and on the way out the men- will be thoroughly practiced in torpedo, gun and other drills, These drills taking piace as far as practicable near harbors while the routine drill ship will be kept up almost con- stantly. ‘This, of course, will involve a great deal of hard work, such as would try the en- durance of English sailors, but the China- men will be allowed a plentiful supply of beef and beer if they wish it to enable them to sustain the fatigues of so much exercise, The machinery hasalready been tested on the completion of the ships prior to their being handed over to Adwmiral Lang, hence, steam trials being no longer necessary, a graater speed than ten knots an hour will not be at- tempted, though at the trials on the measured mile, the English built ships attained the speed of 181 and the German vessels a speed of 15} knots an hour. Among the distinguished visitors who visited the admiral on board the Ching Yuan besides the Chinese minister to Ger- many were the Chinese minister to London, together with Cuow, the director of the stud- les of Chinese students in Germany, France and England, At Taku the fleet will await the arrival of the viceroy, who will make his inspection, and 1t is not until this has been ruade that the four cruisers will be handed over to Admiral Ying. As I rowed away from the interview I recalled how in visiting an English man-of-war one is Invariably struck with the newness and often elegance of the officers cabins, but I can at least over and it is doubtful whether there are any ships that can excel In that respect, these Chinese cruisers now at Spithead, though it must be confessed that other parts of the ships do not compare so favorably with what one is accustomed to see in Portsmouth har- bor. Between drills, therefore, the English ofticers will have plenty to do if they insist on preserving that spotless eleanliness which they have been taught to regard as in- dispensible in a man-of-war, —~— The Great Chinese Bank, SAN FrAvcis@), August 28.—Oriental ad- vices by the steamer Belgic state that the Chinese papers speak at considerable length of the proposed American-Chinese bank, ne- gotiations for which are said to have been conducted successfully by Count Mitkewoz on behalf of a Philadelphia syndicate.
