rounding parts of Maryland and Vir
ginia, which arc from tlmo to tlmo
selected for prize fights, nro getting to
taUo a very lively Interest In tho sport,
and If they know It In tlmo they como
miles to see a mill. Thf fight was for
stakes of $150, with a purso of $150
added, tho loser petting $30. Jllko
Itcldy, tho blacksmith, won, Kennedy
not coming to tlmo for the seventh
round. Tho start for tho fighting
ground was mado fiom Ileagan's boat
house, near tho Long Bridge,
about 5 o'clock. Tho llttlo steamer
Cccllc carried such snorts as had
tlckcls-.i tho principals, seconds and
stake-holders. A hundred and twenty
people cot on tho boat at Ileagan's.
Then when all was ready, tho skipper
of the llttlo craft, which has carried
more prizo-fight parties than any other
on" the river, started to go down tho
river. Hut ho didn't go, becausa tho
Cccllo was stuck fast on tho bottom,
: hard aground. For ten minutes sho
puffed nnd roared, but didn't budge.

Cvfntnodoro refused to help things
niong y towing iuo prize-tigiitcrs' boat
off. Somo of tho sports had to disem
bark to lighten tho boat, nnd when sho
got off they wcro taken on again at
nnothcr wharf where tho water
was deeper. Tho boat was crowd
ed, and a fow sports refused
to go on her and chartered
n tug-boat for s50 to tako them to tho
fight. Tho sun was going down behind
tho heavy clouds when tlio Cccllo got
well under way. Tho nollco boat fol.
lowed her ns far as tho District lines to
seo that uo landing was mado In tho
District. Nobody know where tha flirht
was to be. Dcforc a half hour a heavy
rain began to fall. Tho Cccllo landed
at l'ort Washington and overvbodv
thought tho fight would bo in tho
abandoned barracks whero tho Dully
McMillan mill was. Tho principals
nnd seconds got ashore, and llcldy's
second fduud n placo up tho ltlllrolT tho
Government reservation, whero a ring
could ho pitched. Then the skipper
said that It was Illegal for him to land
Ihem, nnd refused to mako tho landing.
Ho said If they started n fight
ho would leavo nnd let tho fnnnv
walk back. This settled it. and ovcrv-
body re-embarked. Acres! tho ilvor
was Collingwood Beach. Tho Cccllo
Steamed for that. By this tlmo tho lug,
with a dozen or so of thojo who fulled
to get on tho Cecllc.cnmo up, It waited
out In tho stream whllo tho Cocllo
mado toward tho pier nt Collingwood
Beach. As sho scared tho wliarf a
couplo of men could bo seen coining
out towaid tho end. Ono had a blue
uniform nnd a deputy sheriff's badge.
Ho was tho watchman employed to
look after tho excursion grounds. As
tho boat camo within shouting dlstanca
lie waved his hand majestically and
said, "Don't you land hore." Ho was
n blginan and woro n full black beard,
Coining down tho wharf behind him
was a countryman with n shotgun.
Somebody on tho uppor deck of tho
boat held up flvo fingers. Tho whisk
ered watchman shook his head. Tho
sport held up ton flugers. Tho black
whisker wagged back and forth again
v,,il DlmiPlir n.i.t Inoo nnell I .! rPI.
J tho man on tho boat held up nil
las lingers nnd shut and oponcd
them Ouco, meaning 20. Tho
watchman knew that If ho did let
tho crowd ashore ho would never get
tho $20, nnd still shook his head.
It Is tho law that a boat may forfeit Its
license if It makes n landing when told
not to by tho pcoplo In chnrgo of tho
landing. Besides, a couplo mora men,
each with a shot-gun, had joined tho
man with tho whiskers. An old negro
nnan nulled un her skirls and scur-
lied through tho grass over tho top of
tlio hill to call moro countrymen with
slot-guns If thoy should bo needed to
repel tho Invaders. Tho -010110 turned
around ami Mcamcd out Into tho river,
nnd tho crowd jeered- tho watchman.
They sang "Johnny, Oct Your Gun,"
and promised to ruin his whhkcrs tho
'next tlmo ho camo up In town. Onu
6i)0i t offered to givo him tho pilcoof a
shavp If ho would let tho party
land. "All wo wants Is (o get
a drink," ho added. But tho watch-
.man guessed tho real errand nnd re
fused to nllow tlio boat to land. Then
tho Cccllo steamed down river and
across to tho other sldo and lauded at
itlvcr View, Tho tones nnd stakos
wcro unloaded and tho pcoplo who hail
been saying that thcro would bo no
fight changed their minds. It was
then after 7 o'clock and lapldly grow

ibout liny sandwiches, livery ono ot
Biem woio soul to tlio stnigglltig.hungry
uowu in less iiinn iwo minutes, tiicii
I giand uisli was made for tho bar, nnd
uo unritcoper was Kent imsti in: until

rwnfl nll-il tn IllAw ll Htvtrn lnr.ru
cSiough for a ilug and then tho
ling was pitched. Tho giound was s)
:. slippery that tho men had dllllcutty In
keening their fcot. Kennedy was lint
In tlio ling. Ho weighed 103 pounds
and was In poor condition. George
Nortluldgo seconded him. Uo
seemed confident as ho sat In his cor
ner. "Where's tho other fellow?
"Whole's my fi lends?" ho said sarcasti
cally. It was ten minutes boforo Itcldy
stepped over tho ropes with McMillan,
his second. Then thcro wero n fow
minutes' wrangling over tho selection of
nrcfeieo, duiltig which n dozon name?
wcro shouted, and finally McMillan,
Hcldy's second, Bnld: "What's tho mat
ter with Bo-niulBor" n well. known
saloonlst. "So-nnd-So" went, and ho
stepped Into tho ring nud rcfcrccd. As
, ho aald after tho fight, ho did moro
lighting himself separating tho men
when they wcro clInclnA than tho men
did. Two business m$2( weio selected
tlmo-kccDCis and tho fit lit boirau at flvo

t . - :..-. n. . -
henvy blows woro strucjr during tho
fight and Heldy really scofficd tho most
puuibiicti, luougu uo wos b avouucay
won first blood. After tho sosond
round tho fight was n series of clinches
nnd but fow blow3 wero, struck, though
thoso that wcro, wcro smashing onos for
llght-wclghls. Tho fight was not a
bloody ono, but really n very Interest
ng exhibition of good scientific fight
ing. Tho l'htladelphlan hid far tho
most sclcnco and tho way ho dodged
and countered and got away
won hlin lots of ndmlrcrs, thouili
ho had scarcely any friends In tho
crowd- Tho gloves wcro sklu-tlirht
kids, Kennedy's tan-colorcd and Kcldy's
ilnik brown. Kcldy struck tlio first
blow, a light lcft-hnndcr on Kennedy's
breast, and tho Philadelphia boy clov
crly dodged tho blacksmith's right and
landed on his check, following It with
another good ono on his stomach. Then
they clinched and after thoy wero sep
arated and squared awnjr nt each other
Kennedy landed on Kcldy's neck and
Kcldy clinched. Tlmo. Kennedy had
tho test of tho round nnd showed great
cleverness In placing his blows. In tho
second round Kcldy was on t'ao
defensive. Ho dodged a blow
nnd landed heavily on tho Phila
delphia boys stomach, and from
this on tho light loooked ns If It must
go to Kcldy. Lnlcr In tho round ho
got In his favorite blow, a swinging,
ciushtng right-hander, on Kennedy's
stomach. This round was tho prctliest
of ilia mill and tho crowd was In mi
uproar. Nearly everybody howled
"foul" becauso Kcldy struck Kennedy
whllo they wcro clinched, not knowing
that fighting could bo continued till tho
lefcreo put his hands on tho men.
Kcldy opened tho round with a blow on
Kennedy's stomnch, nnd Joo countered
heavily on Kcldy's face, they clinched.
Again tho crowd yelled "foul," and
whllo the men woro waiting for tlio rot
crco to decide Kennedy waived tho
claim and the fight proceeded. Kcldy
got In n crushing blow on Kennedy's
breast, tho hardest blow of tho fight.
It-fiilrly lifted Joo oft his feet, hut ho
rushed back for Mlko ami they
clinched. Kennedy hrtidcd n heavy
blow on Kcldy's neck, breaking tho
skin, and was awarded first blood.
Then followed rapid In-fighting nnd tho
round ended with tho men clluched.
Tho fourth round was lively. Mlko
landed on Kennedy's body and
again on his breast. Kennedy
got hack on Kcldy's body
uim liiey lliuuiicu. . illlS SOU 01
fighting was continued, Kcldy getting
a little tho best of It, till tho eiufof thu
round. In tho fifth round Kcldy landed
n heavy ono on Kcencdy's neck and
another on his Jaw nnd this ."r.izzled"
tho strawjer. Ho was still careful, but
wns seen to bo weakening. At tho end
of tho louud Kcldy was knocking his
lighter opponent about tho ring and
they overfought tho tlueo mlnutC3 by
nbout a minute. Kennedy was Iwlly
punished, nnd tho men wcro finally
separated In the midst of deafening
uproar. Kcldy seemed llko n mad
bull, and chased tho stranger
to tho ropes with a ton Iflo shower of
blows. It was two minutes boforo tho
men wcro back in tho ring. When tho
sixth lound wns called It was so dark
hardly anything could ho seen. Tho
whlto bodies nnd arms of tin men
seemed to bo dodging nbout In tho ntr
lko somo wlehl soit of butterflies,
their black fighting tights being In
Uslblc. Koldy pounded Kennedy ter
ribly, knocking him nbout, though tho
Philadelphia!! stuck plucklly at It and
got In four or flvo blows on Reldy's
inco.
Finally Rcldy landed a heavy blow
In his ribs nnd fio slipped nnd fell In a
sitting postureon tho soggy turf. "Whllo
down Kcldy hit him heavily below tho
loft ear, and tho crowd yelled "foul," 09
did nlso Kennedy's second. Tho uproar
was greater than it seemed posslblo for
so small a crowd to make. Kennedy
was helped back to his corner, and
stripped off his gloves nnd to33od
them out Into tlio ccntro of tho
ling. Ho did not come to tlmo
nt tlio expiration of a mliiuto and tho
fight was awarded to Koldy. Tho ref
eree said that ho didn't seo Kcldy strike
nny foul blow. But Kennedy was
clearly whipped anyway, nnd could
not havo lasted another round. Tho ring
was on tho hill, just nbo' "Jio dano

"I shall seo my lawyer to day," said
Mr. John B. Scott of the Howard
Houso this morning to a Cnmo re
porter, "nnd nsk If I cannot get ro
dress for tho largo damages I havo
sustained by tho Hooding of my cellars
durlug tho past month. No sooner did
I have them cleaned nnd In ohapo from
tho great freshet than they wcro again
flooded almost ns badly ns before. Soma
ona Is lesponslhlo. I cannot afford to
pay toxrs and nlso pay tho damages
caused by tho very things for which
tbeso taxes oro collected. I intend to
commenco suit against tho District, nnd
I am sure that I havo very good grounds
for doing so. No ono lias suffero.l
more, nor ns much, ns I havo during
tho past fow years, and no 0110 has as
cood grounds ns I for nsklng payment
lor my losses. I cnunot tell the reason
that 1 nm moro liable to bo lloodcd than
other houses, but such Is tho case.
Somcthlue: must ho tho matter with tho
sewers that drain this part of tho city.
Tho water seems to How toward tho
houso Instead of tho river, and tho
sowers arc cither filled up or aro Inade
quate to carry off the water. My losses
by tho Hooding of tho kitchen will
amount to $200 or $300, and I nm tired
of paying for this sort of thing."
Tho basement of Mr. Patrick Mooro's
saloon looks llko a section of Johns

of sediment black, slimy mud accu
mulated there, and baircls, boxes and
kegs nro scattered about promiscuously.
"Wohadlhrco feet of water In our
cellar yesterday," ho said, "and thcro
Is n lot of ltdown thcro yet. Tho au
thorities should ccitalnly take this
matter in hand and glvo U3 somo re
lief. Whv. It will mt nn bid nfloi-
awhtlo that wo dAro not uso our cellars
for tho storage of goods; tho water rises so
rapidly that It docs not glvo us a chanco
to remove nnythlng. It cost mo $o0 to
clear tho placo out When It was IloodoJ
Lcforo, and It will cost quite as much
this time. Nono of tho water camo
from tho street dltcct all from tho

stopping It when It onco begins to rise."
Messrs. J. B. Bryan & IJro. nro deal
ers In choice family groceries, at 003
Pennsylvania avenuo, whero they hn'vo
been established sluco 18 10. They havo
always been great sufferers from overy
largo rainstorm. "It gets worse nnd
woiso," said tho senior member of tho
firm this morning; worso and worse
overy year, nud 110 doubt If something
Is not dono It will result In our having
a pcimnucnt pond In tho collar. Wo
wero lloodcd again this tlmo, as wa havo
been many a tlmo before, -but wo'U
never get used to It. Mr: Scott Is going
to sue, ch? Well, ho has tho best of
grounds for doing so, nnd I think the
Government Is llablo for damnges if
only a test caso is made. Four ynavrf
ago wo entered suit for $10,000 for
damages sustained by us for a number
of years past. Our tounsol postponod
the suit until he had settled other mat
Icis just then engaging his attention.
Before tho caso was called ho died, and
tho lawyer who took chargo of his
business followed hlin a few months
later. So wo abandoned tho suit,
though r still think that wo had a clear
case. '
"What would you suggest as a
remedy?"
"I think tho only remedy that Is
proctlcablo Is tho removal of tho Long
Bildgo and nlso raising tho Avonue.
This lnttcr was tho Idea of Alexander
Shepherd, and If It had been carried
out several million dollars would havo
been saved tho piopcrty owners of iho
city. This will yet havo to bo done;
this constant Hooding of cellars and tho
destiuctlon of vnlunblo goods has gone
far enough, ir tho Government weio
mndo to pay largo damages n time or
two they would seo that It would bo
cheaper to removo tho jauso than to
pay. Tho sewer draining this section
must bo half filled with debris, It Is
almost useless for tho purpose, and I
think tho fact that tho water rises
higher every year is sufilclent proof
that this Is tho case." Nearly overy
merchant nnd piopcrty owner in tho
vicinity suffered, nnd all of them aro of
the opinion that tho sower Is defective
and should bo repaired.
"Tho sewer draining that part of tho
city suffering most from lloodcd collar
Is what Is known ns 'lido-locked,' "
said Captain Lusk of tho Engineer De
partment this nftcruoon; "that Is. tho
tidoebbs and flows in them. Thoy
ulvo moro or less trouble everywhere
Tho ficshet of two weeus ago
may have left 111010 sediment than
usual, when It receded, and this may
possibly bo tho causo of tho trouble,
Men aio to-day engaged In examining
Iho matter, and In n fow days wo will
know the cnuso that led to tho Hooding
of tho basements. It Is tho rulo to clean
out theso sewors every second winter,
and In about six mouths thoy will be
thoioughly cleaned."

A report was current this afternoon
that Maurlco Adlcr wns very much
worse, at tho point of death, lu fact,
and this rapidly grew ton report that
hojvadcad. Thoicport grew out of
tho tact that nbout 1 o'clock ropes wcro
stietchcd across the squaro of II street
In which the wounded man lives aud
whlto cloths waved "no tlioioualifnrn"
from tho rones. Naturally everybody
concluded that Adlcr was much worse,
as this had never been dono before.
But It was really dono to keep tho
Foiutli of July nolso and racket
as far from tho sick man's houso
ns possible. It Is cxpcclcd that tho
lopes with their whlto Hags will keep
tho Bmall boy with his firecrackers far
enough nway so that their racket will
not disturb tho wounded man's quiet.
Really, young Adler's condition was
