LAID LOW THE RING IDOL George Dixon Moro than Meets His Matoh at Madison Square Garden. EILLY PLIMMER '‘DOES" THE CHAMPION Ile Wests the Boston Boy at Every Polnt In the Four-Round Go and 14 as Fresh as Was Corbett After Down- ing John L. New Yonk, Aug. 22.—Never since the das tvhon John L. Sullivan, the great gladiator, was in his prime has there been such a demonstration for admission to Madison Square Garden 1o a boxing entertainment as was shown this evening. Had the bout been between Corbett and Mitchell, instead of Dixon and Plimmer, the rush could scareely have been greater. The opening bout was botween James Moebler and Tony Moran at 120 pounds. Moran won. The ond was betweon Sam Bolan of New York and Charles Barnett of New York, at 125 pounds, and was declared a draw. “Chuck” Connors and Billy Weich, both of this city, did a burlesque act. The fourth bout was between Con Co'\:;{h< 1in, the Irish heavyweight, and Con Riordan of 'San Francisco, Riordan knocked out Coughlin in sixty-throe seconds. Tho fifth bout was between Joe Walcott of Boston and Jack Hall of Australia—both celebrated lightweights. Walcott planted a terrific upper cut on Hall's jaw, which sent nim down in Just twenty-five seconds. The Premier Event. The final bout of the evening was between George Dixon and Billy Plimmer. Round 1—ATter sparring a fow seconds for an opemng, Plimmer planted his left in Dixon'a wind, and a socond later ducked a nasty left-handed swing, Dixon went at his man with a will, but found Plimmer ready to giveas woll as he took. Round 2—Plimmer led and landed, but he was caught a few seconds later by a right and loft from Dixon, Plimmer kept jabbing his loft in Dixon's face. Dixon did not appear ablo to land, although he made some vicious left-hand swings. Round - 3—Plimmer kept up his clever work and got away from jDixon’s smashes with astonishing alacrity. Plimmor was in for fair play and not only avoided the leads of Dixon, but fought back at him as_though he did not consider him in any way his superior. Plimmer was cool, clover and a good stiff puncher. Round 4—Plimmer was right in it, and fought hard. He fought Dixon all over the ring aud every time Dixon led with his left he only succeeded in sonding it around Plim- mer's neck. When tho bout was fimished the uproar was 80 groat that the announcer could not be heard. When the verdict of the referee was announced giving tho decision to Plimmer, 1t seemed s though pandemonium had broken loose, and when Plimmer attempted to leavo the stage the crowd grabbed him and threw bim on their shoulders and car- ried him around the hall in triumph.

In calling the meeting to order, Mr. J. F. Scullen announced as its object the informa- tion of the railroad men of Omaha as to the principles, purposes and methods of the American Rajlway union. He mtroduced as + | the first speaker, G. W. Howard, vice presi- dent of the union. Mr. Howard stated that the object of the orga tion was the banding together of all the railroad men of the country, from the highest to the lowes It was not the purpose of the advocates of this organization to indulge in vilification, as they were after no man’s scalp. For three years they had unsuccessfully tried to get the representatives of the old organizations 10 go over the country and tell the railroad men what was the matter. What the repre- sentatives of the new organization would like was to meet those representing the old railroad organizations on the platform and let the rank and file judge of the merits and demerits touching the present chaotic con- dition. The speaker had been in the railroad busi- ness for over thirty years, occupying almost every position from wheelbarrow pusher to gencral superintendent, and he knew that Tt ki 1 the officials were in sympathy with the },}'fl'}‘gt‘:; Ward beat Codman; Herrick beat | poy ~ mhese officials, including ~ general “IPirst round: Parker beat Dewler; Weight | managors and oftentimes vho presidonts, are only employes, but they caunot advise the men to get together and organize, for fear of calling upon themsclves the d pleasuro of their capitalistic employers. He did not want to ridicule the older orgau- izations any more than he would ridicule the old stage coach which had given way to vestibuled express trains, as both had done a world of good. The old brotherhood of the footboard had given way to later organiz- tlons, but the old brothorhood did good. Its lifo was due v the fondness of young America for a “scrap,” so that when some of got into trouble and asked the “Will you stay by me?” the unswer You bt your life.” And they di was, The conductors did not have a str protective platform, the engineers first tak- ing that stand, and the firemen following. IPault had been found with the engineers be- cause they did mot help any one else, al- though they had always been helpod them- 0 or - | selves. They wero not to blame, because they had been educated that way for twenty- two years. 1t was impossible to_accomplish anything on the presentline. Not even an attempt was being made to_protect tho boys against injustice. Thers are over 10,000 engineers in the ranks of the Brotherhood of Firemen, due solely to tho laws of the engineers brotherhood diseriminating against tho young engineers.

He declared that thero Was not only room for such an organization as the American Railway union, but ¢ | there was urgent need of it. In all the big strikes, the battles be- tween capital and labor, capital had come-out on top every time. The tiwe has come for the men to get together’ and unite in one great body to work for the good of all, Au avistocracy had unfottunately sprungup, and it had kept the men apart. 1n dissen- sion and bickering there was weakness. ‘'his union subscribes to the philosophy of s | Robert Barns—''A man’s & man.” It is perfoctly natural thateach organiza- tion should strive to attain the supremacy, and a spirit of unfriendly rivalry is en- gendered. 1f all were united in one organiza- tion iv is certain that all reasonable de- mands would be acceded to and all rights recognized whenever asserted. ‘Phese organizations, acting singly, are unable to cope with the railway corporations. The other day the National Assoclation of Railroad Managers was formed in Chicago, 1o furnish the corporations mutual protec- tion. Employes should have the wisdom and 0od sense to emulate their example. They 8ot organize in Olassos, AccoRding tothe size of the roads represented, but in one body for the protection of all. Class organization was all well enough in its day, but in this day of combinations and consolidations it will not do. As longas employes are divided among themselves, and these dissensions exist, they will be the easy proy of such corporations as are disposed to take unfair advantege of them. The fnborn lulfinhmul of man is responsible for the prevailing trouble and personal ealousies augment it. Religious persecu- tions in some parts of the country have broken up lodges. A man’s religion should be a matter solely betweeun himself and his God, and it was the height of impertinence for another 1o inquire into it. It is a sub- ject on which many are seunsitive, and it was the policy of those opposed to orgauized labor to throw this firebrand Mr. X into the lodge room, kuowing its of 15 and Mra, John Iney, father and moraer | toudency to dworganiao, and knowing fur- beew visiting in this ity duriog the past ther its aid in bring the workingmen com- pietely into the full power of the designing minious of the corporations.

A mountain goat that [ once kept in confinement, says a writer in Forest and Stream, was about as cunning as the average s t avab, and, had he lived to maturity and kept on acquiring knowledge, the chances are 1 would bave had to move out and give him the range. He usually followed me on short ex- oursions into the woods, and generally kept right at my heels; but on_one ocoa- sion he lagged behind, and, although I called him several times, he paid no heed. I finally walked back to see what he was interested in, and found him busy feeding on some moss that grew at the roots « f a fir treej 5o Lleft him and con- tinued my tramp. - But after I had got away o short distance’ the thought oc- curred to me to hide'“and see how: he would act; so I slipped into a hollow stump close hy the trail and awaited the result. Presently I hgard him coming bounding along the trail, and after he had passed 1 stuck gut my head to watch him. When he got about twenty foet beyond me’ ‘he stopped and commenced looking aFound, and the com- ical expression on tl:‘ face as he scanned every object that bpre any resemblance to & human being cansed me to burstout laughing, wheu lrw.xmu'udd and saw me. Then he commenced %o sulk, and would not go any farther,” ¥ I had to return home. 3, The next day he foltowed me as usual, but in the midst of some thick brush and down timber I got interested in a bird that I was following up and forgot the goat, and when I eame to look for him he was gone. Walking back towhere [ last saw him, I called, but no “Billy” came in sight. Then I commenced a diligent search, and ‘".““"u‘y)ol caught sight of samething white beneath a brush heap. Stooping down and looking in I saw the little brute curled up in & heap, and not a move could I get out of him. Reaching in I caught him by the log and pulied him out, and gave him a 00d cuffing on both sides of his head. ut he did not mind it & bit, and seemed to enjoy the joke immensely, eapering about in his usual manuer all the way home, as if he would say: ‘‘You hid from me yesterday, and I hid from you today, aud honors are even.” UGUST 1893, 23, ADDRESS TO BUSINESS MEN Oiroular Tssn»d by the New York Board of Trade and Transportation.

NALDSON'S CRASH. The Fugitive Capitalist Was Doing Business Wholly on Borrowed Money. Cmicaco. Aug. 22.—[Special Telegram to e Bee.]—Senator J. D. Loumans of Sioux City, T the Grand Pacific today, speak- ing of Donaldson's alleged flight to Mexico with $800,000, explained that Donaldson promised investors lavge intercsts on their monev. Hesaid ho could not understand how Donaldson could inspire enough confi- dence in peovle to cause them to give up their money to him. It was one of the deep mysterics. There was nothing about the 1 to inspire confidence, or even to win t. But hegot money, and lots of it. d an overweening confidence in his own capacity. He borrowed ‘a great deal of money, and thought he could vay a good interest on it and still have a big profit him- self on what he could make with its use. He was fooled. With his banks and his Union Trust com- pany in Siout City and his cattle and his big farms, all operated on borrowed money or money from the saio of stock on which he had guaranteed a big dividend, he had load enough to swamp any man. In grounding the load he undoubtodly picked up every- thing that could bo readily converted into cash and made away with it. But_although this may go up into the thousands the sena- tor did not believe the amount wouid resch $300,000. Matt Flynn, a contractor of Sioux City, who had formerly owned stock in Donald- son’s Union Trust company, said at the Grand Pacific: ~Stockholders living in Sioux City luckily got from under before the erash came. ~We were a_little skeptical of Donaldson’s methods. Donald- son met his Waterloo when he organized the Northwestern National bank in Sioux City. It was his aim to have this institution do the financing for his chain of swall banks in northwestern lowa. But they wero already under the control of his Union Trust com- pany and the whoel within & wheel, while it may develop that it aided him in hiscrafty desigiis on eastern capitalists, seemed to handicap him. With his many other enter- prises it was the one that made the load too heavy. Donaldson’s Towa Connections.
