' '-From- the Sixth' Round -His Defeat Was Certain. NEW ORLEANS, March 8.——There was more than the usual interest taken in the fight last night between Austin Gibbons of Paterson, N. J., and Mike Dalyof Ban- gor, Me., for $2,000 a side. As early as 6 o’clock inthe evening the crowd began to congregate, and from that time on un- til they were ready to enter the ring they kept coming by street- car and train lofids. Among the spectators were some of the most prominent sporting men of the United States, who had come in from dif— ferent sections of the country to see the great battle between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall, who battle this evening for a $40,000 purse. Both Gibbons and Daly were under the stipulated weight when they weighed in at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and were in prime condition. Gibbons claimed that he never felt better in his life, although in the eyes of many experienced men he looked a trifle overdrawn. He was looked after by his two brothers, Jim and George, and George McDonald of Eng- land, who trained John L. Sullivan for his fight with Charley Mitchell. Daly, who was put in prime condition by Prof. James Robertson, looked rugged and in good shape to stand a hard fight. He is a stocky-built man, but handi- capped in both height and reach by Gib- bons. - Gibbons and his seconds entered the ring about five minutes before Daly. Be- hind Mike Daly were Capt. Bill Daly, his backer, Joe Choynski, Alex. Greggaine, Prof. Robertson, with E. J. Merrigan as bottle-holder. Dan Murphy of Boston" held time for him, and S. '1‘. Jacob of the Union Athletic Club of Hoboken acted in a similar capacity for Gibbons. Daly’a colors were blue and green and those of Gibbons purple. Daly opened the mill right off with a right- hander on Gibbons’ wind. The Paterson boy stayed in front of his man and tooka severe punishing. When he got a chance he sent Daly to his knees. Daly was a little out of breath and less anxious to force things in the second. He got considerable punishing. In the third and fourth Gibbons simply played with his opponent. He rushed things in the fifth with the certainty of victory, but Daly livened up and punched him a num- ber of times. In the sixth Gibbons started in to flu— ish things. He banged Daly right and left and the latter would have gone out had he not rested on one knee for nine seconds. Only in the ninth did Daly do anything of any account. In that round he landed repeatedly on Gibbons. The rest of the battle was merely a success ion of blows landed on Daily, who kept grow— ing weak and groggy but who pluckily held on. . In the thirty-first and last round Gib- bonsrushed at Daly, swinging his right hand on the jaw. Daly: made two inef- factual swings and clinched. Austin got in another jab and Daly came back. Both swung and landed on the jaw at the same time and both staggered. Gibbons was the first to recover himself, and swinging his right on Daly’s chin with terrific force the Bangor man went down. He was on the floor for eight seconds before he arose. Gibbons went at his man like a bull at a red rag, and again swinging his right landed a stinger on Daly's jaw. He went down hard. He made an effort to arise, but nature gave way and he fell back again, Professor Duffy counting him out amid great cheering. The time of the fight was two hours and three minutes. .

He thinks that glass must have been thrown in the swill tubs from which he collects in difi'erent parts of the town. AA; Refused t; Officiate. The body of Alexander Psaltes, who committed suicide after an attempt to 'murder a young lady in Bridgeport, was taken to Greenwood yesterday. The pastor of the First Baptist church in Bridgeport, Rev. C. C. Luther, of which the deceased was a member, de- clined to ofliciate at the funeral, stating as his reason. that Psaltes whole life had been a fraud and that he had de- ceived the members of the church as well as the public. The Y. M. C. A also refused to so prayers over the body. Rev. J W. avis of the Advent church, finally was secured to ofiiciate. Pluck and Oysters. _ Bay Shore, Long, Island, 0 stermen reaped a benefit from their p uck, last week, as they had a complete “corner”. of all the oyster trade from that section. To do this .they cut out a channel through the me three fourths of a mile long and one quarter of a mile wide at the southern end and some twenty rode on the north or shore end. Several sail boats were then f‘hitched fast” to this monster cake of Ice ranging from eight to twelve inches thick and the great fioe towed out of the bay. This led to the breaking up of the ice in that part ' of the bay and it was clear of ice while the Soyville and Patchogue oystermen are still frozen in. - , 4‘ _The_action of Carter’s Little ,Liver Pills 1s pleasant, mild and natural.

Fitzsimnrons Disposed of Him in Four Rounds. ”-LANKY BOB” HAD IT ALL HIS own WAY. Stars and Stripes Wrapped Around the Victor. NEW Onmsarzs, March 9.—The fight for spurse of $40,000 between Fitzsimmons and Hall was won by the former in four rounds. Great preparations had been made for the battle, as the men were supposed to be very evenly matched and the purse of $40,000 made it the greatest fistic event of the century. The capacity of the Crescent City Club House is said to be 10,000, but the legions that began filling the wide and unusu- ally high, edifice as soon as the doors were opened last night seemed to be even in excess of that large number, while thousands remained outside unable to gain admittance and cursing their fate that made them miss the great Hall- Fitzsimmons fight. BOB FITZSIMMONS. At about 9 o’clock bets on Hall was offered at 5 to 4 and pugilists generally backed Hall with all their might, while even money was offered on Fitzaimmons. Fitzsimmons startled his friends early in the day by driving up to the Criminal Court and taking;out his citizen’s papers. By this action, Australia loses her mid- dle-weight champion, while Fitzsim. mons hopes to wear the Stars and Stripes even prouder as a full-fledged citizen of the United States. The official Weight taken of the two men was Hall, 183%; Fitzsimmons, 165. Most- of the Northern men favored Hall, while Lanky Bob seemed to be the choice of the Southerners. As a consequence some of the Northern men who had a sure thing will not be home for a few days. N 0 one expected the battle to be a short one, therefore it was a genuine sur- prise. Professor Dufly acted as referee, and announced the weights as already stated. Both fighters wore long ulster-s, while Charley Mitchell affected white tennis brooches, in order to make himself the more conspicuous. The two men looked almost equalsiin height and proportions. It was generally remarked when they took their ulsters of! that Fitzsimmons seemed more broad-shouldered, while Hall had a longer reach. At 9.18 both men stepped to the centre of the ring and shook hands. JIM HALL. First Bound—Fitzsimmons fainted and then jumped back, both circled warily around watching for a chance to get in a blow. Again Fitz fainted, but missed. Then he tried his right and again missed. Hall, after a good deal of Jumping about, parried a blow and landed on Fitzsimmons's neck. Fitz hit Hall a left-hauder in the neck, but the blows ex- changed were not of a very heavy calibre. Hall again landed a. right-hander on' Fitz- slmmons’e left eye. Fitz answered with a blow on Hall’s ribs. Second Round—Fitzsimmons used his left again but failed to land on Hall. A second blow landed on Hall’s ribs. They then hugged each other and when they broke away a fierce rally followed in which both men did good work, without coming any nearer to a decis- ion. Third Raund—Both men were shifty and quick, and chased each other around the ring in: truly scientific style. The pugilists in the audience got wild with excitement as neither of the men seemed to be able to get in a blow. Fitzsimmons did most of the lead- in . Fourth Round-The men came up cautious and spurred for an opening. Fitzsimmons soon get the upper-hand. The fight had just lasted 15 minutes when Fitzsimmons hit Hall a straight, terrific blow on the jaw. knocking him unconscious and completely defeating him. Referee Dufiy slowly counted out the 10 seconds, and when at the expiration of that time Hall did not rise, he beck- Onedto the defeated man’s seconds to carry him to his corner and amid the tu-‘ multuous cheering announced Fitzsim- mono the victor. The big Australian grabbed on American flag and waved it frantically in the air, and his seconds hugged and kissed him in their ecstasies of lay. McAuliffe and Kline carried Hall to this corner still unconscious and en- deavored to revive him, while the big as- semblage slowly filed out of the building. Fitnimmonl’ Record. Bob Fitzeimmons was born in Corn- wall, England, in 1863, and moved to New Zealand, when a more child, with his parents. He is a blacksmith by trade, but has made fighting his occupation for the past 10 years. His first appedrance was as an 'amatcur in a boxing tournament run by Jem Mace, when he knocked out four men in one night. A year later he knocked out five men in one night. Then be defeated feel it a favor if they would endeavor to assist us_in remedying ony faults which they may think exist. by givmg oll complaints a full in- vestigation, and hearing both sides of the story. prayided there are two sides. In this way we can work together and I hope remedy any mistakes or defects which may exist. Yours very truly. ' - B. C. YEATON, Supt. The chairman of the finance com- mittee was instructed to borrow 32',- A question as to the right to vote money before actually earned was brought up. It narrowed down to the fact that previous courts had so done, by reason of the fact that they met but once a month and the money was voted to meet bills that might accrue during the interim. It was voted that a special borough meeting be called by the Warden to be held Wednesday March 15th, at 3 o’clock, p. m., for the purpose of re- ducing if deemed advisable, the _tax rate of 15 mills not more than 9 mills, laid January 16th, 1893, to such a rate as such meeting shall determine, when the tax is laid Jan. 16th, shall become due and payable. There was some discussion relative to the resi nations of Burgesses Vogel and Buc ley. After an opinion from Warden Sloan that the resignations could be taken from the table and an election to fill the vacancies ordered, Burgess Squire said- that at the time they were presented he moved that they be tabled and that he now moved that they be taken from the table and acted upon. . On .motion of Burgess Glover the res- ignations were accepted without a neg- ative vote. _ It was then voted, that a special elec- tion be held in the Town House in the borough of Norwalk,on Monday,March- 205b, 1893, for the purpose of choosing two burgesses to fill the vacancies caused by the resignations of William A. Vogel and John H Buckley. William McMnllen was heard in ref- erence to the carting of garbage. He said he did not feel that it was just right to be taxed for the removal of such garbage when others who enjoyed the same service were not taxed at all. Was w1lling to get rid of the garbage about his place himself, etc. Burgess Glover then brought the matter of cleaning sidewalks of snow and ice before the board. In the dis- cussion of the matter it was stated that the bailiff-elect had not qualified inas- much as he had not furnished the nec- essary bonds attached to his taking the ofiice. Burgess Squire remarked that It was next to impossible to clear some walkspf their icy coating and cited his own sidewalk as among the number. The Warden was instructed to give pubhcity to the by-law in reference to the matter by having the same printed. It was voted to adjourn for two weeks or n ntll Monday, March 20th at 8:30 u’c.uck p. m. COUNCIL MEETING. A regular meeting of the Council was held at the Council chamber last Tues- day. Bills to the amount of 31,100 were read and ordered paid. Permission to erect a frame dwelling on Hanford Place was granted Edward Flynn. A petition of residents on North Main street asking for an electric light on that thoroughfare was referred. A communication from Chief Engineer Wehle recommending the changing of box 9 to Cross street; the purchase of two new boxes, one to be placed at the corner of South Main and Mon- roe streets, thefotherlon Fairfield avenue near Cedar; the purchase of 500 feet of new hose and a chart of the city hy- drants to be placed in the Hose house, was referred to the fire committee. Re- port of Councilman Volk that an elec- tric light be placed in front of the ' Methodist church was accepted. 3350 was appropriated to the committee on lamps and gas for use of electric light commissioners: A resolution authoriz- ing the committee on streets to pur- chase a steam road roller at a cest not to exceed $4,500 was offered and will be voted upon at the annual city meet- ing, which will be held in a few days. The clerk was authorized and direct- ed to publish a statement of the ex. penses of the city for the past year, also the report of the electric light commissioners, which was read and placed on file. The street commission- er was voted $100, and the clerk author- Ized to_draw $150 in favor of the Chief of Police. The committee on finance were_1nstructed to borrow $1,300 on the credit of the city, after which the meet- ing adjourned until the next regular meeting. Benpett vs. Maples. About 4lo’elock Tuesday afternoon our friend, Mail carrier Bennett and Willie Maples of the “Hour” engaged in a friendly snow ball fight, on Issues street. Bennett, supposing the battle to be over, started for the Post-ofiice, never dreaming that Maples was close behind him with both hands full of snow. Just as Bennett reached the entrance to the Postofiice, Maples let him have the snow full in the face. This proceeding “riled” Bennett and he grabbed for Willie’s lower limbs, in- tending to throw him down. Maples perceiving his intention folded his long arms around Bennett’s neck with crushing force, and together they fell to the sidewalk. and rolled out into the gutter amidst the. shouts of the look- ers on. After a struggle of about 5 minutes, during which the contestants made sev- eral revolutions in the snow and water, Bennett succeeded in getting Maples under control, and the spectators fairly roared. Maples made an effort to regain his former position but Bennett nobly re- sisted, and would have come out of the battle unscathed had it not been for Willie’s fingers which came in con- tact with Bennett’s nose, causing the blood to flow. ' At that etc o of the game Maples cried “Enoug ” and Bennett arose vic- torious. “Gee Whiz!” said Bennett, “I made him cave.” 'Tis easily seen that Champion Corbett has a rival and he must look well to his laurels, if he hopes to retain them.

A bi l for ex- tra sergices by the janitor, and the bill of C Wood for services in the Gas case were referred to the chairman of the finance committee. The claim of Mrs. Mary Walsh for damages for injuries alleged to have. been received by falling on an icy side- walk in front of the residence of Wil- liam H. Byington on‘Beldomayonue, on Feb. 23d, was referred to the Bor- ough attorney. The Borough assessors returned their tax lists, to the faithfulness of which return they made oath before the Bor- ough clerk. Mr. Charles Olmstead of the board of assessors stated that the board had been waited upon by those holding bank stock who claimed that they were "not equitably assessed on the same as compared with other property valua- tions. He stated that in making as- sessments the board had tried to ar- rive as near as possible at present mar- ket valuations. He further said that owners of bank stock had presented their claims to the town board of relief in the hope that such claim would not be recognized, and then they would have taken it before the courts for a decision. A prominent attorney had advised the granting of the relief, as in his judgment the plaintiffs would The Borough asses- sors in order to avoid trouble had as- sessed at true market value, and not at forced sales. The grand list there- fore had been considerably swelled; Whenthe tax of -15 mills was laid the present condition was not looked for. He suggested that the levy be modi- fied, as a nine mill tax would under the new assessment raise as much as would a fifteen mill tax under the old style of appointment. W. H. Olmstead also a member of the board of assessors, said that the as- sessments had been made “according to law.” That the board of whom P. W. Bates was also a member had taken pains to look at property assessed and ad acted on their investi ations in as equitable manner as possib e.

A petition asking for a patrolman on Belden and Franklin avenues was read, and tabled after a statement from Chief Wallace Dann, that a man was de- tailed every night to visit that section and that every Sunday afternoon an evening under the new regime a police- man was on duty in that part of the Borough. _ The report of the retiring chief of police DeForest for the month of Feb- , ruary placing the number of arrests at sixteen and the conduct of the officers good, was read and accepted. Clerk Hubbell who at the last meet. ing of the court was instructed to see as to why no better service was given the Bor- ough in the matter of electric lights by the Norwalk and South Norwafk Elec- tric Light Company read the following communication from the superintend- ent of the company : Nonwam, CONN., Feb. 24th, 1893. J sirens T, HUBBELL, Esq., _ . DEAR Sim—Your favor of the 23rd received and contents noted. I am sort there have been complaints aboutthe lig its and also about the globes being dirty._ I think perhaps were the matter thoroughly investigated you would find that there Is really not as much cause for complaint as the members of the board of Burgesses seem to think exist. You must realize that 'we have had a hard and storm winter,particularly the lastfmv weeks and t e. heavy yvind has caused lights to be out at times which otherwise would not have been so. The frost and sleet give. the globes, in a great many cases, the appear. ... .. of bo- ing dirty where they are rea ynor. so. This weather gives us much more labor. and causes us to use much more coal than we would oth- erwise have to use. My lamp trimmers have orders to properly trim and clean each lamp and, globe, and also to go over the circuit after. the lamps are started and see that each one is burning rop- erly. After they have done thisif some amp goes out. because of high Wind or other causes. I have a man at the station who goes out and fixes such lamps when reported to us. The trimmers also have, orders to report to the ofiice every lamp. which they have found necessar to start, and also every lamp which has not urned through. They can tell such lamps by the length of carbon left uncon- sume . These lamps which are re orted as being out are rebated for at the on of the month in our bills to the Borough. I would be very much pleased toIhave citizens make complaint to me of anything which is amiss in the ser— vice and the same would be promptly attend- ed to._ The trouble seems to be.that if one light Is out for half an hour one mght a greot many people see it and the consequence is thata report gets about that quite a number of lights have been out quite a num or nights, when in fact they have all seen the same light the same night. _It would please me very much if you could give me the par— ticulars of complaints which you have had as I would like to investi ote them thoroughly. And any future com aints which may turn up should .be articu arly reported tome in order to enab e us to discover whether the fault is ours entirely,or on the other hand, whether it is a complaint which is a little " stretched." . You willfind a man who says. “ The light on street is out half the time.” Ask him 'ust when it was out and it is more than likely 6 cannot state osrtively that it was out more than one mg t. He tells this same story to some one elsehand when " some one e so ill tprough With it he has two hghts out all e ime. '1‘he_papers of the last few weeks show that electric light, telephone and telegraph wires, In all parts the country. have been more or less disable by the storms, .in many cases shuttin down all the hghts for one or two days. orwalk has been more fortunate In this respect, although we have had to work hard to cop up with the weather. . As to the globes, if youwrll notice any of the window glass as you pass along. the street you Will find it in the same. condition, caused by the mixture of host inside_and cold out— side. the same conditions which we have in the globe of one of the lamps. _I hope you W111 excuse the long letter. and I Wish you would convey the idea to the mem- bers of the Court of Burgesses that we would
