- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1889, A SUNDAY SLUCGCING MATCH. Thirteen Rounds Fought in a Barn Near the Shot Tower. SCIENCE AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY Steve Hill, a Laborer, Knocks Out Patsy Corrigan, a Stonecutte Ohronic Prize Fight Attend- ants Get Snubbed. A “Scoop' on the Police. A prize fight, which neither the fancy nor the police got onto, took place out in a barn near the shot tower Sunday night. It was a rattling affair, thirteen stubborn and san- guinary rounds being fought before vietory perched upon the banuer of one of the con- testants. There was a select crowd of forty or fifty toughs and hoodlums on haud to see the mill, which had been arranged for with such admirable secrecy that not even the shrewdest of the ci old ring-goers never got on until after it was all over. The principals were Patsey Corrigan, alias Dennis McGuin, a stonecutter, and Steve Hill, alias Johuny Moker, a laborer, both citizens of that sweet-scentod district known as the bottoms. On Friday night the two men got into a controversy over their respective talents as sluggers, and as words proved inadequate to sottle the matter, they agreed to meet at the above men- tioned rendezvous at 10 o'olock Sunday night and continue the argument with two ounce gloves until one or the other was convinced of his inferiority. Kifteen dollurs a side was posted by the friends of the two men, At the designated hour both pugs were on band with a score of followers ana after hastily improvising a ring each man selected his seconds and a referee was chosen. The latter functionary was a weil known character about town and a man wnb is pretty handy with his dukes himself. The pugilists wero hastily gotten together, the referee and other accessories of the mill being considerably apprehensive of the lynx- eyed minions of the iaw. Corrigan was stripped to the buff, with s red suspenders wrapped around his waist for a belt, while Hill wore a short-sleeved, striped undershirt. Corrigan, with his 164 pounds and five feet eleven and a half, did not, pear a whit more powerful than his short and burly antagonist, who probably balanced the steel yards at 1 After cautioning the men as to the require- ments of tho rules the referee ordered the men to shake hands. Hill, who wus us spry and lively asa feather weight, at once began a fan:astic dance around his big adversury, who main- tained a well guarded front uniil an opening presented itsolf when he made a savage lunge with his right at Hill's sut, but the latter ducked cleverly and counterini with his ieft caught Corrigan & stemwinder in the ribs. This aroused all the ferocity in the big man’s nature and Le rushed Steve to tho rope putting in a haif dozen pile drivers befo the latter scemed to realize what had hap- pened. The calling of time probably saved Hull from being knocked out. In the sccond both advanced enough, but, begun sparring with e caution. Corrigan was pufling like ler, but Hill seemed fresh us a daisy. w0 minutes were consumed in mancuvering, when suddenly Steve cut loose with his right and plugged Patsey iu the mouth, 1 him spit blood and look very much surprised. First biood was claimed and ullowed for Hill Recovering from his wmomentary astonish- ment Patsey again essayed to rush. but time intervened before auy dawmage was done. ‘The third was a vicious siogging match, both men giving and taking punishment in about equal measure. Coi g and awkward, and swuug his long arms wildly, while Hill fought with a good deal of the generalship of & man who had been there before. In the fourth round both men were L0o0 much blown to do any effective work, und not a blow was struck. The fifth was more exhilerating, and wrought the crowd up to suct u frenzy that several of them broke into the ring, and the fight had to be discontinued until tho referee cleared the ring. ‘I'he disturbers once ejected and the pugs flew at each other again like tigers. Corrigan wus crowding Hill danger ously, when all at onze the latier gotina right hander on Patsey’s left arricular and he went down among the cobs and straw like alog. Foramoment it looked as if he had received his quietus, but just as the referee proceeded to count, he od himselr on his elbow, and then scrambled ciumsily to his feot. ' Hill went for him without ceremony, but to the surprise of all Palsey sent in as £00d as he received untl time was called. The sixth was occupied by the two puft- ing pugs in circling about each other out of harms way. They coutinued these tactics until ordered to their corners, ‘The seventh was another rough and tum. ble exhibition, both men fouling a dozen times or more. The referee, refused to recognize the claims of the adherents of eiwher, and wformed them that it was a staud-off for both and that they would have to fight 1t out, Each man got in a knock down in the eighth. Hill flooring his man by @ stri punch in the face, and Patsy doing his work of prostration by a swash fearfully low, in fact Steve's friends clamored loud and long for a decision on a foul. They didn’t get it. The referee was de- termined to see a fight, and he gota good run, as they say on the turf, for his money, The men were both groggy in the ninth, and the round was unexciting and feature- less. Both still had bellows tomend in the tenth, but_after sparring a woment, Hill, by a sudden inspiration, made a resolute lunge at big Corrigan. Ho fiddled him toward the ropes, and then suddenly let go a swinging left at Patsey's jugular, which, happily for the stonecucter, feil several inches short. The stocky laborer tried another delivery of the same style, but was again short, then scored a raight left punch on Patsey’s stomach that made him whiten about the ills, This angered Corrigan and ho rushed teve, slashing wildly left and right, but Hill was as shifty 4s he was in_the initial round, but he was finally coruered, and after tuking & rap or two on the conk, clinched just as tume was callea, Hill seemed strong in the eleventh. and he went right to work hammer and tongs on the big frame of the stone cutter, who here 'vqlwndlllulll»yluuluu of aluck of gameness a8 ho covered his faco with his arms to ward off Hill's blows, never once endeavoring a return, The men were ugain clinched when time was called, and when Corrigan went w0 his corner his fuce resembled a well pounded porter-house. 3 The tweifth was another sparring matoh for oxygen, but oneor two feeble leads being made by each man. The thirteenth, and last, was short and sweet, Hill had again recovered strength and wind, and, pushiog Corrigau to the ropes, bit bim wben and where he ploase, A winging right-hander in the neck did” the ingfs aud Patsy settied down limp and lifeless—kuocied out. Aftor the regulur wait the refurce wave mmbly coeding the fight and $0 to Hill, and the erowd d , Corrigan being haulea away in an - @xpress wagon. Hill, however, washed his m fists and face in a horse bucket, and t off with hus friends as if nothing had happened. A BRUTAL PKIZE FIGHT, Punching and Kicking Without Re- ard to the Kules. Kaxsas Crry, Sept, 33, —A fight with skin gloves, Quecusberry rules, ocourred Suuday morning between Martin Durkin, of Kansas Qity, and Fravk Neal, of St. Lows. From Aho start to thoe finish Neal had the best of the fight, although he could not get w knock-out blow. Blood begen to flow in the second round, when Neal gotin a smasher on Durkin's nose, and was given the first down. From tben on the St. Lows found his opponent’s head with ease, batted him about the ring us e ploased, blood at every blow. They kicked and slugged vach other b regard 1 the rules or the decisions ©f the referee. New! got Durkin in his cor- ner against the ropes, and bending his oppo- nent’s back double, struck him several timos in the face. The crowd became excited, when Neul refused to break away, an finally some of them pulled the roj down and dragged the St Louis man off his vie- tim. Darkin's scconds claimed the fight on afoul, but it was not allowed. The referee declared it a draw. ——— BASE BALL. The Omaha Club's Finances. The idea pretty generally prevails that the Omana base ball club has made a handsome profit this season, and that its olose will see them five or six thousand dollars ahead. ‘This is erroneous, If the Omaha club comes out $1,000 the best of it she will have done well. Tue Bee's base ball editor knows for A fact that this will e about the size of the season's profit. and bhad it not have been for Crooke' sale to Colum- bers, they would have come out behind, as it ook a portion of this purchuse mouey to pay off the remuant of indebtedness that rested upon the club, I'nis expose of the club’s condition is simply made to refute the story that big money has been made this season. This is all, it might be appropos to_add, & sad commentary on Omaha’s bousted claim of being n grent base ball town, and should act as & permanent check to the remonstrances that are being made aguinst the manage- ment's disposing of a portion of 1ts talent, to square itself. Let the citizens of Omaha patronize ball team another year as it deserves to be patronized, and there will be no cause for unfavorable comment or oriti- cism, Minneapoi« 2, Sioux Oty 4, MixNEAPOLIS, Minn, Sept. 23.—Though but three hits wero made off Duke to-day, he practically lost the game through wild- ness.

Cryom , Sept. 23,—At the meeting of the direotors of the Awerican Base Ball association to-day the dispute between the 8t. Louis and Brooklyn clubs in the forfeited games of September 7 and 8 was tuken up, After long consultations and hearing the statements of both sides the board decided upon a sort of compromise, awarding Satur- day's gamo to St. Louis and remitting the fine on the ground that Umpire Goldsmith's decision was wrong.

The directors also recommended that services of KFred Goldsmith as um- pire be discontinued. ——— He Beat the ftecord.

Considerable Discussion Over the Pacific School Furnace, The question of putting a new furnace in the Pacific school was the subject of consid} erable argument at the meeting of the board of education last night. The furnace now in that building has proved entirely inadedquate to the needs of the building and bids were invited and re- ported at the last meeting of the board, for putting m & new furnace. Only two bids were received; one from the Hess Furnace company, of Chicago, for $1,100, and the other from the Smead company of Kansas City for $1,250. Last Monday night the mat- ter was_laid over, and Wehrer called i for cousideration last night. He the acceptance of the Hess company’s bid on the ground of its being tie lowest and also on the ground that it is the best furnace in use. He stated that it was imperative that something be done at once as cold weather was coming on. Dr, Spalding was opposed to acting hastily in the matter and advised waiting until morebids were obtained. He also questioned the ability of the Hess furnace to do the work required. Wehrer responded by stating that the Hess was the only furnace mnade which was cap- able of heating a large building satisfactor- 1ly, and charged Dr. Spalding with insinu- ating that he (Wehrer) made a percentage out of the job. The doctor resented the insinuation and insisted that more bids should be obtained. Adolph Burmester, Wehrer's brother-in- law, is the local agent for the Hess furnace company. Mr. Martin moved to insert a proviso in the contract that the furnase should not be paid for until it had been tested, and to re- fer the whole matter to the commiltes on buildings and property, with power to act. This was adoptei munication was received from G. G. subwitting two propositions for a site in Monmonth Park. The first was for three lots the northwest corner of Ames avenuc and Thirty-third street st ; the second was for three iots on the west corner of Thirty-third strect and Merideth avonue at §2,500. ~The communica- tion suggested the nccessity for a school in tho vicinity of Monmouth Park, as there are fifty chuldren there who are obliged to walk about a mile to the Saratoga scbool. The matter wus referred to the committee on boundaries. Jules Merle requested the use of a room in the high school, at night, for the purnose of opening a F'rench school. The) request was refused, as he had not complied with the rule in regard to opening a night school. The superintendent of buildings was in- structed to have the gymnasium of the high 00l ceiled at a cost not to exceed §300. 'he committee on buildings and property reported that they had rented an additional room at the Pacific school, with the privilege of un additional room if it should be needed. The action of the committee was approved. A special commitice, consisting of Sholes, Martin, Spalding, Coburn and Rees, was appointed to sccive new quarters for the board and report at the next meeting. Curtains were suthorized to be purchased for various school buildings, The commitice on supplies reported in favor of purchasing the Yost typewriting machine. Strang & Co. were awarded the contract for putting a uew steam pump in the Park school and making the proper connections with the heating apparatus. A AN AUSTRALIAN VISITOR, mes Allison Manager of the Thea- tre Hoyal in the Oity. James Allison, manager of the Theatre Royal in Melbourne, Australia, and . proprie- tor of several of the leading places of amuse- ment in Australia, was in the city yesterday for a ti andleft on the Burlington last night for the east. Mr, Allison will stop at Chicago where he will remain for a time with Billy Gaylord, formerly of Barnum's circus, who is engaged in securing American attractions for Mr. Allison's theatre. From thence he will go to Paris to make arrauge- ments for taking Buffalo Bill and his “Wild West” show to Australic when the exposi- tion 1s ended. Mr. Allison is a man of perhaps fifty years and this is his fifth visit to America. Ho was in Omaha six years ago and remurked that the changes in the city's appearance greatly surprised him. He thinks America the greatest country on earth, Anstralia, according to his statements, is rapidly advancing and is destined to become of the lest countries of the world. Re garding stories published in the papers here concerning pests in the shape of rabbits and parrots which are alleged to be be overrun- ning the country, Mr. Allison says they are greatly exageerated, While in the city Mr. Allison was the guest of John Francis, gencral passenger agent of the 13, & M. i Muit Walk. A dozen or wore forelgners wera lined up before Judge Berka, acoused of being squat- ters. Noneof them could speak KEnglish, but Coueilman Kaspar could, and belped them out. Mr. Kaspar admitted that nearly all the defendants werc ¢uilty, but he desired that the cotrt givéuem a reasonavle time to find new quarters The gomplalut was lodged by the manage- ment of the electric light company, which proposes to commence bailding at the foot of Davenport street at once, ‘T'he company is willing to se @ the matter quietly, and in case the premises are vacated in a few days the vrosecution will cease; otherwiso, the men will be brought iuto eourt and investi- @tod. 1o the meantime, the defendants are L on their personal recogaizance. Ji CONFUCIOUS, REST IN PEACE. Omaha OChindamen Celebrate His Death and Frighten Policomen. THOUGHT IT WAS AN OPIUM DEN, How Ormsby and Savage Visited a Ohnese Funeral Anoiversary and Were Frightened Into Spasms. They Kalded a Ohiness Lodge Room, Ofticers Ormsby and Savago have had an experience, and any one reading this tale will readily understand why grey hairs are #0 frequent in their erstwhile glossy growths of raven black and chestout brown. The event happenea yesterday morning about hoif-past 8 o'clock and was both novel and exciting, in fact extremely 8o, At the hour mentioned the two officera loft the police station for the nurpose of naking a goneral round up of the city. While passing Central hall, on Fourteenth street, between Douglas and Dodge, they noticed a pair of Chinwmen standing near the entrance, When the latter noticed theofficers ono of them fled down Fourteenth, while his companion vanished up the atairway. “Catch the fellow in the hall, Savage,' shouted Ormsby as ho gave chase to the fly- g ocelestial. At Fifteenth and Farnam Ormsby caught his man by the pig-tail und turned him over to the policoman on the Dbeat with fnstructious to hold him until he (Ormsby) returned. Then he retraced his steps to the hall, On the pavement he met Savage, “My God Tom,” ejaculated the Ilatter, whose face wus ashy pale, *There 18 one of the most awful sights up theve I ever saw.’” Visions of opium joints flashed through Ormsby’s mind, At last they had succceded 1 getting on the track of the flends who were wreck- ing body and soul in inhaling the fumesof tho hellish drug. Soon he would have the patrol wagon loaded with tho forms of the unconscious vietims of the baleful habit and would land them safely behind the bars. But he would take one look at the smoking room before sending for the wagon, Up the stairs he bounded followed by his brother officer and into the room or hall into the third story. The sight he saw froze nis blood, but the subsequent actions ou the part of the inmatesof the room dia more than that, they paralyzed him. ‘There were about seventy-five Mongolians in the hall, arrayea in various costumes. Some were dressed in the habiliments of woe, others were armed to the teeth with the crooked creeses of the vast and others wero attired in the most fantastic costumes imagin- able. In the center of the room was a huge idol, four faced and terrible to behold, whila around it were what appeaved to be ' priests burning joss sticks and chanting something mysterious in their musical alarm clock lan- guage. In each corner of the room were groups sitting in circles burning incense, while near the cntrance stood an armed guard. The oficers made a lunge as they entered the door and broke through the guard. So sudden was their appearance that for a time the assemblage was so surprised that no one scemed uble w act. Then the sound of a tom-tom awakened the ec and up sprang every man in the ro; 1g ventas he did 80 to a stra 1300 | thoy shricked aud a dozen Chinese swords were raised to strike them down. “Fly for your life! shouted Ormsby, “we've struck a lodge of Free Masons put- ting @ fellow through the thirty-third de- gree.” E7HUt tho Chinamen would not let. thom fiy and kept up their yelis of boo ya until as a last resort Ormbsy flashed his star. “Chin wan a taliy min. Melican manda- rin,” said someone and everybody quieted down. Then a Chinamau Who knew Ormsby came to the front. “Alleo lightee Mistle Plecceman,” said he, “Chinaman allee samee celeblate, ‘Confucius lie die long time ago to-day, Chinamen allee sumee celeblate. Washes' allee day, cele- blate at nightee.” Then Ormsby and Savage went out. It appears now that yesterday was the anni- versary of Confucius’ death and that aceord- ing to custom the Chinese were holding the ceremony which takes place each year. THE CHINESE MINISTER.

Wowoo Yung, the acting secretary of the legation, and Tschi Tschi were the only two in the party who could speak English, and they explained mattors to Tk Bee man, who met the party at the train, The remainder of the party out- side the ladies and servants were Do Joln, Wang Hong, Too I'si Lee, Kung Wang, Sun in, Ah Sum, Kee Wah, Hop Lee Sin, Yen Wan' Ho, Do Lee, Wing Lee Pan and Wang Ho. The party was attired in Chinese costume, and with the excoption of the servants all wore green silk. The gown of the minister was ornamented with solid gold buttons, while that of his secretary was faced with purple. The respect. shown the former wus very profound. Kach time he would rise the entire party would rise to their feet. ‘The porter relates that when they left San Fraucisco they were shown how to call the porter by the electric beil and that from thenceforth every Cninamun on the car rang toe bell about once each fif- teen minutes. They desired hot water above all things and exhausted the supply in the first 100 miles.
