Thursday Constable Chandler Taylor, of
Franklin township, brought to the West
Chester jail a colored
H. Frisby, whom he had arrested in Wil

been one of the parties who committed the
burglary at the residence of Edward Dun
more, in Franklin township, a lew weeks
ago. He was committed by Esquire 8. B.
Dougherty, of Franklin township,for a hear
at Cour$. It appears that after the
burglary a pocket knife and cane of peculiar
character that were recognized aa belonging
to Frisby were found in Dun more's house
after the burglary.
Soon after the burglary a man named
William Randolph wa« also arrested for
complicity in it. and he is now in Jail. The
burglary waa of the most cowardly charac
ter that could be described. Dunmore Is a
colored man nearly 90 years of age and lives
alone in a small house in Franklin town
ship. He has always been
honest man and ha« many friends. Being
of a iruiral character it was thought that he
kept a considerable sum of money about,
but when the burglars visited him they were
rewarded with only $30 in cash and some
meat that they came across in ransack
ing his house. When they entered
his bouse, which was at night, Dunmore
was sound asleep and going up to his bed
side they administered several frightful
blows on his head that completely stunned
him, aud indeed uearly killed him, several

Pittsburg, March 16.— A prize fight, one
of the most novel on record, occurred tbi*
morning in the parlor of a private residence
three mile* from Altoona. The place where
the fight came off is owned by Colonel
Rohme, a gentleman who is very wealthy.
The parlor had Brussel« carpet on the floor
and the wall« were hung with pic
the centre of the room, a very large
ring was marked out with chalk
carpet, and on the top of this chalk-mark
silver-sand was spread. In a room adjoin
ing this all kinds of liquor« could be
had, as could also a small lunch. These
things were ail furnished by the Colonel.
Probably 30 person« were in attendance. At
1.15 the principals In the fight, O'Neal of
Pittsburg and Kobne of Philadelphia
into the parlor. They were clothed with
trunk« and long stocking«. When they
came into the room Colonel Rohme «hook
hands with them and said :
"Gentlemen, it is not often such a nice
place can be selected for a fight, so now 1
want you to do the best you
tare«. In
one, a

cam
, and the
who comes out winner I will present
him with $50 In gold.
The men then went to the scratch and
O'Neal reached out his hand to shake with
Kobne, but the latter party refused to do
so. O'Neal then said: "That settles it; now
If I can knock daylight out of you I will do
It and will have no mercy." Kohne laughed
aud said: "You are at liberty to do so, pro
viding you can," The fight then began,
Colonel Rohme acting as referee. Thirty
three rounds were fought, first blood being
drawn by O'Neal in the first round. At the
close of the thirty-third round O'Neal
Both
men were battered up badly, though
neither was seriously hurt. Kohue ap
peared to have received the worst of the
fight, but O'Neal had more cuts on his face
than his opponent. After the fight was over
the stakes were turned over to O'Neal.
Colonel Rohme, the referee, came up aud
shook hands Vith the fighters. He gave the
winner the $50 in gold which lie had
promised. The tight was arranged by two
Philadelphians named Crum and Charles
aud two Pittsbnrgers named Fisher and Mc
Cree. At first the men were to fight for
$500, but when they arrived at Altoona they
decided to fight for $1,000 a side. The bal
ance of the purse was put up then and there
and John Coyne was chosen stakeholder.
During the 37th round a quarrel started
among the Pittsburg and Philadelphiasports
about some money which had been bet on
that round and also about the Philadelphia
sports trying to call a foul. A man named
Rush, who, the men claimed, resided in
Pittsburg, strnck one of the Eastern men in
the mouth. A fight ensued, which was
quelled by Colonel Rohme.
The causes which led to the fight are said
to be as follows: In 1876 O'Neal went to
Philadelphia to visit the Centennial. He
remained in the city for about one month.
While there he became acquainted with a
young lady and Ihe two fell desperately iu
love with each other. O'Neal made several
trips to Philadelphia after this, and while on
hl» last trip there he married the youug
aud brought her home to Pittsburg, il
pears that Kohue was also in love with the
young lady aud that he projiosed ' to her
several times, but she refused to have any
thing to do with him alter she met O'Neal.
This made Kohue very angry. So a couple
of months after they were married O'Neal
received a challenge from Kohue to tight
him. Neither oi the men have any reputa
tion AS pugilists.

THE DUKES OUTBADE.
Manner in Which the Acquitting Juror»
Treated.
Uniontown, March 16.—Thomas B.
berry of Tyrone, one of the jurors win*
acquitted ttïe murderer Dukes, has been dis
charged by Everson, MaeCrum À: Co., pro
prietors of the large rolling mill at Seott
dale. They told him that his services were
no longer wanted, and he could seek
elsewhere, among men of his equal, if h**
could find them.
G. Wash. Breakirou, another of the
jurors, by the way, cannot write his own
name, and belongs to one of (he most, iguor
ant families in the county. He drew his
pay and sneaked out the baek door of the
Court House, took the baek streets to the
country, aud the last heard ot him he was
..earing the foot of the mountain iu the
direction of Dalauey's Cave.
Jacob Amalong, "gentleman," who
stopped in Brownsville on his way home,
was given five minutes to "skip" the towu,
which be did iu less time, und has not been
heard of since. This is the man who stated
that he did not waut to go on the jury iu the
Low trial, but did want to get on the jury
that was to try Dukes. It is also rumored
that Amaloug was assaulted on the streets
of Belle Vernon, last eveuing. aud so badly
beaten that his life is despaired of.
Ttie jurymen now claim to have made up
their verdict from the quibbling point that
Dukes, wheu he wrote those letters, was a
friend to'Nutt, aud that he had no iuteution
of killing him; but after the last letter had
been sent Dukes became alarmed and
chauged his mind. He then bought a re
volver to defend himself, should Captain
Nutt attack him, thus throwing all evidence
aside and yieldiug to a point that was not
in evidence, but was made by counsel for
the defendant iu his argument.
It 1« now said Dukes escaped from Uniou
towu to German township iu female attire.
He Is at his mother's house aud expresses
himself perfectly satisfied with the verdict.
