O'Brien Agrees to Put McHugh in a Comatose Condition in Ten Straight Rounds, McIIiigh and O'Brien, each of whom h:ive quite an enthusiastic clientage in this city, signed articles and posted their money for a ten round go with the sporting department of The Times last evening. The articles specify that O'Brien, on a bet of 230 to $100, shall best Mcllugh, who is lighter in avoir-dupois, in ten rounds, the contest to take place on March 7 at some place to be agreed on by the principals and their backers. Mcllugh departed for Beck's Hot Springs this morning and will establish his training quarters at that place. O'Brien has not decided on his quarters as yet. The rneu are but little known outside of ultra sporting circles.and were not disposed to parade their records, however phenomenal they may have been. They are both excellent and well preserved speci-mens of physical maturity ami the ex-hibition promises to bo one of the most thrilling ever witnessed by Zion's patrons of tho manly art. There is no doubt but the finish will bo on its merits. Local speculators who put their life's savings on tho Mitchell-L- a Blanche mill at the California athletic club are getting somewhat im-patient and want to see the directors render a decision one way or the other. From the correspondence they are sat-isfied that the Marine is either a knave or a cur and that he has finally been retired with the back numbers w ho are chauting self-spu- anthems of what they might have been. The city is deluged with a number of local pugilists all of whom are anxious to steer clear of a bouilide mill. Perhaps tho capper can be of service to them. The Williams-Limeric- k fight prob-ably died a bornin'. It is understood that the "champions" are no nearer each other than they were twenty years ago. EICHTEEN DAYS IN DARKNESS. Tha Miraculous Escape Prom Death of riva Entombed Miners. Hazklton. Pa., Feb. 24. After boing eighteen days entombed in the darkness of an slope at Janesville five of the victims of the terrible disaster were found alive yesterday afternoon. They were all Huugarlaus. How they sur-vived is a miracle. Nothing like it bas beeu known or heard of in the Pennsyl-vania coal fields. Up to yesterday thirteen bodies have beeu found and the rescuers yesterday worked harder than ever to learn the fate of the remain-ing live. Late iast night while the work-men were searching in tho breast of the east gangway, they came acroa. the live Huugariaus huddled close together and almost dead. They were so weak that with one exception they could not be moved. John Toiuakusky, who was stronger than the others, was taken up to the engine house, doctors were at once summoned and a large stock of blankets taken down with them to the other four men. Care-ful nursing will bo given them, and every etTort put forth to save their lives. The searchers say that their at-tention was attracted about 9 o'clock by a slight tapping on tho wall, and working in that direction they finally came upon the men. John Toiuakusky had been endeavoring to make himself heard, and in a faiut voice informed them that ho and the others were al-most dead. ' Toiuakusky, when partially revived, said the contents of theij dinner pails kept them alive for six days; then they lived on oil from their lamos and bot-tles. After that they draiik the dark sulphurous water. The announcement of the finding of the men was kept as quiet as possible, but notwith-standing this precaution, tiio mouth of the slope was surrounded by hun-dreds of excited people. Friends and relatives of the fortunate five men were frantic, hugging and kissing each other and dancing for joy, while others who had come to the slope on first report before the names of the men had been learned, wero correspondingly de-pressed. Twenty-thre- e men were in the mine when tho disaster occurred. Six of these escaped, leaving seventeen. All are now recovered, the last of the dead being found near tho place where the four live miners were discovered. MINES ASD MINING.

Jones, two of Grannan'a detectives, are at the Fielding house. Tlley have in custody ono Parker alias McMillan, charged with robbing the United States mail at Muddy creek, Wyoming. Tele-grams havo boon sent to the various headquarters and the detectives have beeu instructed to await the arrival of a postollico inspector from Denver, Colo. Mr. Palmer had quite a narrow escape In arresting his man. When Parker found that he was shadowed ho very coolly walked np to tho detective, whipped out a revolver and proceeded to take aim, remarking that he intended to kill the ollieial. Fortunately the revolver, which was an old rusty one, failed to lire and the would-b- murderer was taken without further difficulty. The arrest was made iu Ephraim. Par-ker acknowledges that he is the man for whom a arae reward U offered. Ho relates a vory Interesting history of crime. His father was a wealthy man' in Montana. Ho took to drinking and stealing and was finally lynched by an luftiriateil mob. Two of his brothers, he says, were executed. He became discouraged and took to stealing. The first theft was fourteen chickens. Then, embold-ened by his success, he stole a boat and converted it into eash. His next ven-ture was to rob two Indian squaws of whom ho obtained 105. lie then stole some cattleman's branding iron and captured seventeen head. After having three trials in Deer Lodge, Montana, ho was sentenced to three years, in tho penitentiary. From the penitentiary he escaped after remaining only three months. He then stole two horses. The officers were so vigilant iu searching that ho and his brother were compelled to livo in the mountains away from everybody. After subsisting two weeks on nothing but groting squirrels, they made a des-perate attempt to prevent starvation. They held up the stage at Muddy creek. Wyoming, robbed the mail and killed the driver. This was in December,! 18110. After the robbery they went to Corinne, Utah. They havo traveled through Bingham, Kureka, Pay son and Pleasant Grove. At the latter place Parker says he and his brother robbed a drug store and the postollico. He went to Levan with a letter of introduction to Tony Christenton, from Krastus Christensen, alias Mat Warner, and Tom McCarthy, two well known characters in the Blue moun-tains and Moab. While an officer was searching an il-licit whisky shop run by Tony Chris-tensen of Levan, Parker stole the con-stable's revolver. He came to Manti, claiming to be a United States secret rervice representative. The detectives followed him and after shadowing him to Fphriam took him into cutitody. His statement he says is true. The owes hiuj a Jivlngt(nd he :.intMU bjuHUKukvA eiiWj!aa from Pleasant Grove hiw iilent'fiett' him as the one suspected of committing the robbery there. Hills S6. Lucy A. D.

A SEASON OF TRAGEDY: Th8 Dramatio Eoproduction of s Parlt City Homocide Begins in tha District Court, m A HISTORY OF THE CRIME. Woodson J. Moss the Slayer of Aloi- - 2 audur Lancton on Trial Jl for his Life. f The reproduction of a tragedy that ! on the eveuing of its enactment shook Park City to its innermost recesses was , begun in the district court at 11 o'clock this morning with the chamber well packed, and as the hours dragged on with the effort to secure an impartial A panel tho bailiirs found it necessary to call attention to the fact that conversa 4 tion, even iu undertouo would not bo tolerated. That the particulars of the J hotuocido had been thoroughly ventil- - lated and that prejudice, one way or ,1 another, had become firmly rooted In the minds of those who had discussed it, w as adduced when the examination of talismon was begun by Judge Dick son. The proscoution was represented by Assistant I'nited States Attorney Critoh-lo-and W. T. Snider, esq., prose-cuting attorney for Summit couo ty. Tho defense was repre " resented by Judge Dickson and Judge Powers and the prisoner reporting the cast was complete. Moss was the central figure. That he had the blood of a fellow man upon tlman slender fin-gers was a fact almost too stern for human credulity, lie looks the man of even temper and mild manners. With a steel gray eye that peered from a prominent forehead he weighed every action of tho jury, his face, how-ever, never onco changing its settled expression. His appearance, indeed, is a point in bis favor. The offense for which ho is now answering was committed on the even-ing of Wednesday, September 10, about 11 o'clock. some time a feud had existed between Moss, Langton and Thomas Currons. It was a triangular affair. Langton and CuiTans were the original principals. Of the latter Moss was a friend aud in this manner he permitted himself to become embroiled. On the evening in question Moss and Langton are tsttidre-&av- e met iu a saloon. The former wa9 standing with his arm rest-ing on the treacherous foundation of the bar when Langton entered for his nightcap. The Currans feud was re-opened, and after a brief but acrimo-nious interview the weapon was flashed. A shot was fired, and Langton reeling from the door, ran a block with a stream of blood oozing from a wound in the abdomen. Exhausted, lie fell violently to the walk, aud was subset. -. " ,, , quently t'.noved to iis lodgings, tor . . -- which'Pr, McGregor was summoned.' ., -- iVi Prompt examination revealed an ugly, . 'Tr' ' sickening orilice at a point three incheS' ' . to the left of the navel. Langtou's gamo was up, his doom w as sealed. In tracing tho course of the bullet the intestines were found to be horribly torn aud lacerated. A critical operation was performed by the attending surgeons. A fow hours after Langton's spirit had down. In the meantime his Blayer bad surrendered himself to the authorities and was brought to Salt Lake and turned over to the United Slates author-ities, lie was subsequently admitted to bail and returned to his work in Park City. A largo delegation, Including many witnesses, for the defense as well as the prosecution, accompanied the defend-ant from Park City and are closely watching tho progress of the trial. One by one tho regular venire have been called to the box, rigidly exam-ined and exeued either for cause or on a peremptory challenge. Counsel was scarcely prepared for an exhibition of so much interest in a foreign case, and it is very likely that a special venire will be ordered before the panel is com-pleted and tho opposing statement is made. At 2!0 this afternoon the box was occupied by ten jurors while a dili-gent effort was being made to secure the other two. LAST OF THE SEASON.

TUB SMEl.ThK Hiri'ATION, What Itoth Minara anil Huielton liava to May on tha (Juaatloo, There have been frequent assertions ami denials between ore buyers aud sellers for several weeks over the prices that were being paid for ore and the charges for smelting as compared with last year. The miners are very positive in de-claring that the morket is most unsatis-factory to 'them, and that they are not receiving for their production as much as they should and in some Instances they are not able to sell at all. They say that they do not expect smelters will pay them as much per ton for ore now as they did 1 ast August and Sep-tember, when the price ot both lead and silver was much higher, but they do not understand the reasons given by smel-ters for making an increase in Bineltiug charges as the price for metal falls. They do appreciate the force of the re --buyers have for some months been buying on a falling market, and that it has been neo essary for thorn to protect the.uselves by advancing treatment charges, but the advance iu some cases has been en-tirely disproportionate to the deprecia-tion in the price of silver. The smellers are as firm in one posi-tion as the miners ore iu another, aud they deny that smelting charges have been advanced except as to silicious and other very refractory classes of ore. Still the fact remains that charges have been advanced to the extent ot one dol-lar a ton on such ore as that pro-duced by the Treasure mine at Silver City, which is entirely an argen-tiferous iron and is certainly-desirabl-for smelters to have as any other character of ore, and more especially is it true where they have au excess of silica. To an unbiased observer it would appear as if the mine had much the best of the argument, and particularly have they when it is understood that Eureka Hill has about 4000 tons stored, the Horn Silver has only sold about 1000 tons of the fiOOO mined in the last ninety days, the Continental-Kurek-has sold none since November and tho Bullion-ltec- is not making but one-hal- f its natural production. This unfortunate condition of affairs is not by any means confined to Utah. The situation is much the same in Colo-rado. To an outsider it would seem that the settling down in tho price of silver might be a benefit to miners, not of course because it would give them a less price per ounce, but that it might give smelters an increased confidence that it would go no lower and tliey would thus have more courage to buy aud would pay better prices. LAND TRANSFER SYSTEM- - St. I,oal May Adopt tha Australian Land Tranafar Hyttem. Special to The Times. St. Loins, Feb. 24. At a meeting of the St. Louis Business Men's association today consideration was given to the report of a special committee in rela-tion to the adoption of the Australian land transfer system. It is significant that so far the scheme has not been op-posed by any prominent citizens, and therefore it is thought that the legisla-ture could be induced without delay to embodv the proposed change in the necessary statutory form. The pro-mote- rj of the change declare, that all that Is needed at present is the popular-ization cf the siifbject, so that peopla may know that th'j registration of titles instead of registration of deed., gives a title to laud much more secure than that now possessed, allows of its transfer or pledge with the same ease that stocks or bonds are now trans-ferred or pledged, and when sales take place involves no expense whatever in going back through a long series of years for the purpose of finding out who past owners were, and whether they properly parted with their property. LATE LOCAL. , Governor A. L. Thomas has received notice that the eighteenth national con-ference of charities and correction will be held in Indianapolis, linl., May 13 to 21. These conferences, in which nearly all the states aud territories have been represented, are composed of trustees and officers of public and private benev-olent, correctional and reformatory in-stitutions and persons interested in philanthropic and reformatory work, appointed as delegates by governors of states. Governor Thomas has been asked to appoint delegates from Utah to the conference. The Utah commission today ap-pointed the following deputy registra-tion officers: Box Klder county, H.

Special to The Times. Chicago, Feb. 24. A meeting of the stockholders of Iho Chicago & Western Indiana railroad for the purpose of taking action on a number of proposed improvements. Tho stockholders are the several railwav companies which use the Western Indiana tracks and terminal facilities within tho city. It is proposed to double track the road and put in additional switches and side tracks to the mills, blast furnaces and shipyards which are springing up rap-idly "in the Calumet region. To meet the expenses of these improvements it is proposed to issue additional bonds to the extent of $1,000,000 to bo secured by the mortgage of December 1, 1HH2. A special meeting of the stockholders of tho Belt Line railway is also being held for tho purpose of making a new lease with tho Chicago it Western Indiana road. The object is to give the West-ern Indiana company the use-o- addi-tional property ami greater facilities on property they now hold. . THE WORLD'S FAIR SITE. Wast Sldars In Chicago Indignant Ovar tha Location Hslected. Special to The Times. Chicago, Feb. 24. The entire aban-donment of the lake front by the board of directors of the exposition, has caused deep indignation in the section of the city known as the west side. This west side district is larger and more populous than the north and south divisions combined, and yet it has been left unrepresented in tho of the fair. From the first the directors have taken occasion to evince their prejudice to the west side. When they discovered however, that it would be necessary to placate the peo-ple of that division beforo they could get tho tax-paye- to appropriate for the exposition, they pro-posed to utilize the lake front aiid hold a part of the fair thereon. Now that they have obtained the $5,000,000. they make it known that the lake front, for one reason or another has to be aban-doned, and that all the departments of the fair must be held at Jackson park. If the directors should apply for more funds, and they admit that they will bo compelled to do so, the west sido will refuse to contribute a cent, and it will be supported by tho north and south divisions. In fact, it is known that a large percentage of the amount con-tributed for the fair can not now, when it is needed, be collected. The law wculd compel tho stockholders to pay for their stock, the directors are ad-vised, but it would be a very expensive process to enter into a lawsuit with each jstockbolder. It is regretted by friends of the fair that the first work done at Jackson park should be by alien laborers. They feel as if the fair has for no good reason been brought into conflict with organized labor, and that the battle will be waged, at inter-vals, until the end. CAUGHT A MARQUIS. A Swrll Wadding In Car is Today A New York Ulrl tha Urida. Spei l:il to The Timia. Pauls, Feb. 24. A brilliant marriage was celebrated here today, the contract-ing parties being Miss Garner of New York and the Marquis de Bretenil. The bride's wedding trosseau is the hand-somest and most elaborate that bas been seeu, even iu Paris, for many years. It includes a sealskin jacket of the same model as that tor which the Duke of Portland paid $(1000 in London recently. The presents of the marquis to his bride include a pearl necklace and diamond tiara worth upward of $00,000. This union has been tho cause of much favor-able comment in the American colony. It is declared by many to be a love match pure and simple, and that tho marring" contract is iu no sense a pur-chase. Tho wedding contract, which was drawn by Notary M. Deinont, mere-ly shows the" complete confidence she has in her husband, who iu the event of her death would become immensely wealthy. Sho had plenty of money and it was her desire to make ample provision for the mar-quis, in case anything should happen to her or go wrong with his business. The bride is the handsomest, as well as the most ambitious of the Garuer sis-ters euch of which is in tho hiffhest European society. She is a cousin of Ladv Vernon of' London, who is a New York Lawrence by birth. Since the term of mourning for their father and mother, who were drowned by the cap-sizing of the yacht Mohawk, the Misses (iarner have spent most of their time in Europe. The Marquis Bretenil has ac-quired vast wealth by enterprises in business which has caused him to be classed as the Jay Gould of Paris. He is tho granchild of the late Achielle Fould, Napoleon's third minister of finanee, who in 1818 was tho originator of a law to save the newly organized republic by a proclamation of national bankruptcy. Through tho Foulds De Bretenil represents th-- 2 Basses Pyrenees and ho is intimate with the prince who mav become a son-in-la- of tho Prince of Wales. Foreign Flashes, Belgrade, Feb. 24.
