Su-rrpini; Cliilllcnife From F.v:n Lewis to Hums u ml Moth. It is highly probable that the wrestling match at Harper's theatre next Friday night.- which, bythe way. promises to be an event in tin sporting line, and in which Farmer" Martin Burns and Charles Moth will engage, will lie only the forerunner to other contests of a similar nature, only more exciting. A few days ago Burns received a letter from Wrest ler Tom Conner, who has just re turned to this country from abroad, and i- at Newark. N. J., now. In his letter to the farmer " Conner savs he is coming out this wav after awhile with the avowed purpose of bringing on a match with some one. and. serving that end he will chal lenge the winner of the Burns-Moth contest. Burns states that if he triumphs, he will accept, and he supposes Moth would do the same under the same circumstances. The Slraiiclir" Heitril t'rulu. And it seems, too. that Evan Lew is, known as "the strang'.cr." is rot less too. f..r a linger in the pie. In proof of the asserti m the following letter to the Al:;t s mav be submit ted: Riim.kway. Wis.. Oct. To tin Editor of the Ai;;t s: Wili you please issue the follow ing challenge: I w ill wrestle Farmer"' Burns, of your city, catch-as-eatch-ean, for any amount of money he wants. He need not shove me aidc and claim that he has matches with other peo ple. He speaks of wrestling with Tom Conner, his bosom friend, and claims to have other matches. Now I know there is m money in hippo droming all over the country, and he claims to be a champion. Cham pions are alwavs ready to compete with anvbodv. and 1 would like to match him. There is no question. he can win plenty i f money by de feating me. He need not look for anybody else if he wants any of my game. I should like to hear from him if he means business. rt-r Mot li. Too. I see where Charles Moth and he are going to wrestle. I would also like to meet Mr. Moth, and as I know he is no eatch-as-eatch-can man, I w ill meet him Crcaceo Human for anv reasonable amount that we can agree upon in your city or any other place that suits Mr. Moth. Now neither of those wrestlers peed look for anvone else, for 1 will accommodate them. All I ask them to do is to notify rue where to meet them to deposite money and arrange matters. My ad dress is Kmgew ay. is. Evan Lkw is. Iluriis Ik Willing. Burns was seen in reference to the above this morning, and stated that if Lew is really wanted a match, all he had to do was to put up a forfeit. Let Lewis send on his forfeit money. "t-aid Burns, "and I'll cover it at once for a match at Harper's tlwatre for $2ii0 a side, at any time he may select."

VARIOUS ACCIDENTS. A Horse Full With a I toy A Scrioun Kun- away l'oIi-r Fxplosion. Kalph Iglehart, a lad about 12 years of age, was riding a horse on Market square this afternoon about 1:30, when the horse stumbled and fell, throwing the little fellow with much force upon the hard pavement. He was taken into Bengston's drii" Is S5 store, and an examination showed that he had sustained a severe bruise on the left side of the head and sev eral smaller ones about the left leg. The injuries, although painful in the extreme, are by no means serious. A Itunanay. This morning a team attached to one of Farrell's feitilier wagons, and driven by Charles Farrell. be came frightened and ranaway in the vicinity of the 11., I. & I'. depot, dash ing into the platform of the freight depot. Mr. Farrell and his brother Kay were thrown from the wagon, which passed over Mr. Farrell's neck, but as he got up at once and ran af ter the team, it not probable any se rious damage was done, strange as it may seem. The team was caught up in the railroad yards. Kay Farrell was injured somewhat, but was able to mount the wagon with his brother and ride home. Iturned l.y a Powder Filoion. Yesterday afternoon Henry Hen dron and Arthur Hill went out squir rel hunting. Their method wa to insert burning waste attached to a wire into the hollow of a tree, and scare the little animal out.
