Reynolds 15 .Nine Rounds — In the Eight Round Ernst-Vernon; Battle the ELatter is Knucked Senseless. CONEY ISLAND, N. ' Y., June 21— The three crack bouts scheduled to take place, before the Coney Island Athletic club proved a very attractive drawing card for that celebrated fistic organization, and the sporting fraternity turned out in large numbers. The men were considered so well equalized in fighting ability that it was a difiicult task to pick the winner,and . the betting on each event was pretty 'nearly even. ' The first battle was between George Rey- nolds and Mike Leonard. There was vig- orous fighting throughout the contest. ~ which lasted for nine rounds, Leonard gaining as the struggle progressed. In the ninth round the men fought all over the ring. Leonard, being the stronger, rushed his man and pounded him at will. He opened a big gash in Reynolds’ cheek, and after some few exchanges knocked his man down and out. . - ' The second fight, between Billy Vernon, the Haverstraw brickmaker, and Billy Ernst, was one of the prettiest and most scientific fights that has ever taken place at the island, and the competitors were so equally matched that the crowd was kept in a high stat: of excitement. When time was called for hle eighth round Vernon Was very weak, 'whi e Ernst was full of fight, and went at his man in the. most deter. mined and dogged manner. Vernon got in 9. few left handed punches in the early part of the round, but Ernst landed a right hander upon the side of Vernon’s head that made him a trifle groggy. Ernst fol- lowed up this advantage, and each time he landed his right Vernon grew weaker till finally, near the center of the ring, Vernon received another right hander, and as he was falling Ernst crossed him again with a right handed upper cut. Vernon fell all in a heap and never stirred while he was being counted out.‘ In fact, he'had to be carried to his corner. The excitement following the knockout of Vernon beggars description. The house appeared to have gone mad. Ernst danced with glee in his corner, and hugged his seconds, and even went so far as to pick one of them up bodily and throw him in the air. Vernon’s seconds labored over him for fully ten minutes and seemed to be unable to bring him to. Amid a scene of the wildest excitement two stalwart po- licemen, aided by his seconds, picked up poor Vernon’s limp body and carried it to his dressing room, where the aid of a phy: sician was needed to bring him to con‘ sciousness. It was as complete a knock- out as has been seen‘ in this vicinity in a good many years. The final bout of the evening, between Jim Daly, of Bufialo, and Joe Butler, of Philadelphia, was put on at 10:30 p. m. It was to be twenty rounds or more, for $2,500. John P. Eckhardt, the popular and genial press agent of the club, refereed the contest. Daly’s seconds were Dan Gallagher, of Brooklyn, and Charles Gleason, of Buffalo, while Butler was 100 eqli1 after by Jack Fogarty and Benny M . irst Round—Daly feinted several times. and a clinch followed. Daly landed his left on the colored man’s jaw, and was countered lightly by the colored man on the jaw. Daly was by far the cleverest, but could not draw his man out. The round ended tamely. ' Second Round—Daly was the first to lead in this round, and caught the “coon” three or four times without a return. They spurred cautiously for some time and then began to mix matters, with honors even. Just at the call of time Daly landed on the stomach and swung with his right as the bell rang. Third Round—This was a terrible round, in which Daly was knocked down re- peatedly. He got up gamely each time, however, and fought back, although so weak upon his feet that he could scarcely stand. It was almost a miracle that Daly laéted through the round. llis punish. ment was something terrible. Fourth Round—:Daly made some vicious swings and landed his right heavily on the colored man’s jaw and wind. The crowd yelled for Daly to keep away, and amid the wildest kind of an uproar he started in to mix matters. He landed sev- eral hot ones on Butler’s wind, and had the colored man almost as weak as himself 'The celorsd men forced Dalyfb‘hlsfllfk "s H sacramental. inén can. u}, w.“ _. as where Daly slipped and fell.

June 23.—The president . ‘ and Secretary Carlisle, feeling confident of the repeal ,Of the Sherman silver purchase law. are now Considering what other finan- cial legislation should be enacted in con— ”-nection with or. following ' the repeal. They have been advised by most of the leaders of the house and the senate that an income tax law cannot be passed. While members representing rural dis- tricts generally favor an income tax, they are very much divided as to just how it should be imposed. In the first place they difier as to how the amount should be ex‘ empted, and they differ more or less as to all the details. " , Members representing city and com- mercial constituencies will oppose an in- come tax almost to a man, and will easily defeat the divided and. distracted majority. even conceding that a majority would favor the tax. With regard to the re es] of the tax on state banks, the presi cut and Secretary Carlisle are reticent. They are not communicating opinions save to a few party leaders. At all events the president and his finan: cial minister are feeling very easy on the financial question. They believe that they will be able to influence congress to adopt the policy proposed by the administration. Another Parkville Victim. NEW YORK, June 23.—0ne more death was added to the number resulting from the disaster on the Manhattan Beach rail- road, at Parkville, L.

Coroner Keene says that the man Quinby, who, it was said, met his death and had $6,000 in his 1509 session, is a myth, and that no subh per‘ son was killed in the disaster. The dead, he claims, are all identified and accounted for, and that of Bartholomew completes a list of eight. The Manchester Murder.

Never in the whole'hi‘si’oryaiof astronomy has a finer. opportunit‘yi 91 such work been afiorded ‘and‘so' 15in- fully and completely improved b " as- tronomers as that of the recent eclipse. Thefull harvest of their. observations seems to promise some startling revela- tions. M. Flammarion, the French astrono- mer, after reading the Chilian cableidis- patches announcing Professor Picker- igg’s, recent eclipse observationaisfre- pofiedrto have said: “They confirm'ithe them that the sun is surrounded'bya luminous atmosphere to a distancequgal to one-eighth of the sun’s ' M 'r.” Searcélyaquarter of acentury ago'many astronomers, questioned whether 'jtldie’fso- lar atrhosphere had any marked‘exten- sion, and even doubted whether».‘the”éo- rona was a solar appendage at all. But in the light of the late eclipse it is not astonishing that an astronomer expresses the Opinion that the sun’s atmosphere extends outward more than 100,000 miles. The eruptive forces of the sun—must be enormous indeed to eject the matter composing the flaming prominences 'not infrequently observed 40,000 miles broad, attaining occasionally an elevation of 400,000 miles. All prominences, Zollner and Respighi have shown, are originally phenomena of eruption, preceded by rec- tilinear jets, either vertical or oblique, ascending to great heights and then‘seen falling back again toward the sun" like the jets Of our fountains. The eruptive prominences are, as Professor Young says, “generally associated with active sun spots.” Since during the late eclipse these prominences were conspicuous‘zin connection with an unusually brilliant and extended corona and great spotted- ness,’ the before seemingly established law that the corona’s size and luminosi- ty are in direct proportion to the sun’s spot producing activity is strikingly cor- roborated. . Professor Schaeberle cabled from Chili that his eclipse observations confirm his mechanical theOry of the corona, which regards this vast appendage as composed of streams of matter ejected with initial velocities of 850 miles a second from the sun by forces which are most active near the sun spot zones. Indications of such eruptive action have been often observed in the higher regions of the prominences. A further confirmation Of this theory is that the corona in outline resembled that which Professor Schaeberle predicted some months ago. . As far back as the eclipse of .1870 Mr. Brothers noted that “prominences were most numerous'pn the side of the sun where the corona was brightest,” an evidence that the coronal matter is not less than that of the promi- nences ejected from the sun. Mr. Proctor, discussing the observa- tions Of that eclipse, concluded: “I con- ceive we have now clear evidence of a form Of action—but whether eruptive, electrical or repulsive is not yet Obvious —exerted outward to enorggnfiistanges by the sun. and with maximum enery 0131:0318 pot zones, but local, variable an prOba 1y intermittent.” It will be seen, thgn, that Professor Schaeberle’s theory, though by no means established, accords with old observa- tions. NO other explanation of the corona has been offered save that which attrib— utes it to reflection from myriads of in- candescent meteors or cosmical dust cir- culating around the sun. But this hy- pothesis has never been supported. If the corona were chiefly due to meteoric dust revolving around the sun, we should certainly expect to see it regular, and not as it generally appears, gapped, quad- rilateral or four rayed, with immense wings or extensions. There seems, there- fore, to be no other inference possible . but that which telescopic scrutiny has long suggested—that the corona is orig- inated a majptained by countless ejec— tions issnmg h-oii beneath and flung tlgrppgh the photosphere by the sun’s vertical or volcanic forces. I , If the final Studywa‘thé’boronal photo- ‘ aphs obtained sustain this view, sci- office will have at least a working hy- pothesis for the determination of the cyclical variatiogs of solar heat and 11.19 cOEE'sponding effects upon terrestrial temperatures and climates. The theory in question obviously Opens up a new and fascinating inquiry into the anoma- lies Of the earth’s seasons which are due to variations of solar activity. We seem to be thus happily led to the very thres- hold of one of the grandest discoveries of modern science, which promises when developed to yield a rich harvest of prac- tical results. Now that most numerous and perfect photographs of all the principal append- ages of the sun have been secured {in give their best energies to the studny the data.

Looking for Bigger Crowds Under Cheaper Fares. CHICAGO, June 23.—Members of the council of administration are discussing the advisability of having a twenty-five cents admission day at the fair, and the chances are that half rate will be tried a week from next Sunday. The suggestion of the city council for a people’s day re- solved itself into one of expediency with the council, and inasmuch as the fair had been opened Sunday for the benefit of the people the opinion prevailed that Sunday was the proper day for a reduced admis- sion fee. Another reason is that the expo- sition is not a complete show on Sunday. None but necessary machinery is in opera- tion, and many exhibits are covered. Thus far the management has Shown no dispo- sition to require exhibitors to‘ keep their displays uncovered until they choose to do so. Before a twenty-five cent admission can be fixed it will have to be approved by the executive committee of the local directory, and probably by the board of control of the national commission. It involves a change in the rules and must be passed upon by other authority than the council of ad- ministrat You. - The one urn trunk lines are now setting an example for the western roads to fol- low in the matter of bringing their ex« cursion rates down to a single fare for the round trip, but the western lines stub- bornly refuse to make any concessions to the public. It is expected they will fall in line, however, later in the summer, but th n7; dislike to reduce rates for the benefit 0'. :1. class of passengers who Can afford and are willing to pay the rates now in force. ‘ The action of the eastern roads in the Central Trafiic association in extending the time limit to one week for points 325 miles distant from Chicago, and to ten days for points farther than 385 miles, will be immediately followed by a large influx of excursionists who have not much money to spend, but who are determined to see the great fair. Most of these excursion trains will be run directly into the ter‘ minal station inside the grounds, making a lively scene there at all hours of the day. Paid admissions at the fair grounds yes- terday were 127,272. Pension Examiners Reappointed.
