There are double tracks some elfht or ten feet apart at the point where the accident occurred, and the old negro, who Is said to have been very deaf, was leisurely making his way along the centre walk wlien tne engine bi Boumliriir the usual Mgnals of i linn without turnmz arouun the train was xain wm. i on, the old darkey, evidently frufttenea by the noise of the near and rapid ap- proachingcars track immediately in f.ont of the rJn cu totdcceT: and was proinlacnonslT scattered al.iug the rahroad tracks.

The name of the old man could not be learned, but it was ascertained that he came to this city from Brandon, abont six weeks ago, that he was verr denf and of rather weak mind.

Lewis Burby. the switchman, who was standiuz on the guard board In front of the engine at the time of the accident, was thrown violently to the erntind br the bodv of the old nesro as it was caught and carried beneath the wheels, and sustained poinful injuries, one of hi legs being broken Just aimve the ankle.

They are buying op all drafts on the treasury, such as pension, checks. postofflce drafts, mint checks, as weU as big bills.

As far as possible the treasury officials are doing all they can to prevent brokers getting currency out oi the treasury. One peculiar feature to-day la connec tion with this scarcity of cash was that money brokers were bidding from 1-2 3-4 of 1 per cent for gold to arrive, no- withstanding that the rate of foreign ex change to-day, it was said, for demand bills (4.H41-2) did not warrant the im portation of gold. Sight sterling was la demand to-day In consequence of tne offering of a premium for gold. Tho Fourth National Bank to-day threw out the account of Zimmerman Forchay, on account, as stated, of their business meth ods, including the offerings of a premium for currency funds and exacting a still higher premium when the funds iwere resold.

Regarding a dispatch from Chicago that mandatory drafts on New York banks. the president' of one of the largest huan- cial institutions here said: "Such talk Is absurd.

If Eddie Pierce had had his hands tied behind him he could not nave been an easier snap for the colored lad. It wa a pitiful exhibition. Pierce landing but twice In the two and a basf rounds which he wa slaughtered. Jack Skeliy, the other ex-amateur who met Dixon In Xew Orleans, was a harder nut to crack than poor Pierce. Skeliy was easy, but Pierce wa easier, ne bad been cracked np to be a wonder and proved to be startling only la that he was so easily whipped.

Dixon Wa under lest met ions to finish his man in abort order, and it did not take him long to do so. There was the biggest crowd ever seen at Coney Island Club; at least 12,000 sport being crowded into the building. It wa shirt- sleeved crowd, la which there wa scacely a friend of the colored man. They were armed with fog horn and whistle to cheer Pierce on victory. He wa such essy game for Dixon that Instruments Intended for triumph were turned into shrieking protests against the too one-sided firht.

The conUt to-night wa for $6500 purse. wa almost a local affair. Pierce being from Xew Y'ork aad Dixon from Boston. Dixon wa the favorite in the betting at 2 to 1, though the hearts of the crowd were with the white man. When the men entered the ring it was seen that Pierce was a far taller man than Dixon.

He tipped the scale at Just 120 pounds, Dixon fighting at 117. Dixon, though smaller, bad a longer reach and greater muscular development. From start to finish he had Pierce at hi niercy. Pierce was game enough, but utterly out classed. In the third round Dixon bit him again and again before he could finish hira.

Tim Murphy and Danny McBride fought preliminary ten-round bout, McBride leading had Murjr but out at the end of ten rounds, and wa properly given the decision and J1000.

Pierce is a great favorite In Xew Turk City and vicinity, and his admirers came down la full force. There were many tally ho coaches. loaded with members from the various athletlo clubs of Xew York and Brooklyn.

It Is estimated that between 8000 and 10,000 spectator were in the building. Jim Cornet was given great ovation when he walked into the building, acccmpanied by Manager Brady and several other friends. They were shon-n to one of the private booths. The majority of the big betting men fancied Dixon, and they were rather liberal in the odds they offered. The first bout was between Murphy and Mc Bride, and was for a purse of $1000, of which $200 went to the ser.

It opened In a tu mulruou uproar; the large audience wre yell lug like madmen to those in front to sit down. Finally the crowd was organized, and at o'clock the men put np their bands for the first round. Both men showed great cleverness, especially at in-fighting. McBride appeared to have a trifle the beat of the hard hitting up to the fourth round, when he drew first Mood. Murphy returned the compliment almost immediately by hitthur McBride on the nose and spreading; it almost over bis face.

It was give ind take until the tenth round, with McBride to the Better condition. Tue referee awanlei the fight to Mo-Bride. Promptly at :30 Tom O'Roorke entered the ring, followed by George D.xon.

But he saw what sail the British yachts were carrying and wifhed to see if sht could not do the same.

Xew York, Aug.

7. Off Glen Cove, the recdes-tous of the New York Yacht Club, the Commodore's cup was sa lied for to-day. The event M. i ir- -wau, ur i iu cup, originated the plan with tne Idea taat a race at the beginning would start the cruise off with enthusiasm. The race to-day held, however, wa of unusual interest from the fact that the cup defenders, the Colona and th- Yigi nut, sailed their maiden race and gave te pul.lic an Idea their worth as sail is inl how they compare in siieeo.

The idea of having all boats in the fleet contending for one prir.e Is certainly a novel one, and It remains to be seen bow the experiment will result. By the terms of the deed of gift It will be seen that the big sloops like the Nepenthe give no time allowance to the little sand-bagger," wbile the allow 15 per cent to schooners on their measurement rating. The big sand-baggers allow time to the little ones, but of course they do not give soy to the cabin sloop large or mall. In other words tber are two distinct classes to contest In the race. One will consist of the schooners and eabin sloops, the latter allowing the former 13 per cent on their measurement rating.

Then come the small open boats, which liave their own time allowance as among themselves, but lio'hlng is given or recetved outside the classes to which they belong. Should the wind tie light and fitful, the small open boats will doubtless have a very good chance, but should it be strong and steady the blK boats should have the ronust pretty mucn to themselves. A curious queiia may arise in the contest which would I to give the Judges and reg ta committee tine trouble. Supt.ise f.j example that one of the big n-ps should In Is not tit all unlikely. SupiioRe also that one of the little hats with shifting l.allat should lluisa secon.1.

and then one of the smaller rf the big class t.sish third. Should it turn tut that ti.e s.imd l.at in the big elas-s turn out to i.e the winner en time allowance she would be declared the winner, but at the same time it would look unfair to give her the cup over tiie liesd of the smaller bint that ha.l really beaten her oti elaps-d time. And then w.hiM onie tiie vt line question a to hat boat would be entitled to si-cmd honor. Would the big yacht which had finished econd be enti tied to the second place iu the race? or would Co to the little open sloop which had "lapped ber out" st the finish It is assiimeil that the prize will go to the class which may fortunate enough to cm1 a represe-tntlve first over the line at the fiuish. but when rhnt particular hut d.ics not happen to tie the inner, it would look nnreaamal.le to disqualify the second hunt which had really benicn everything else in her class.

The West F.nd baud will furnish music during the aftenuMO at the cluUhcuse. and another hand enincd by the Yacht Club will furnish dan-'e music for the promenade concert and hop in the evening. Half mile; Illinois charrpionshlp; goM medal. E. il.

The Xew Orleans and Montgomery clubs played an exhibit ion game at Bimrtstnan'a Iark yesterday afternoon before an audience of about 300 persons. Duliy pitched for the IVllcans, Wilson appearing for the visitors. Both were batted bard, and the fielders behind them played very raggedly. In fact, the game was so- much of a farce that one man threatened to swear out a warrant against the management of the New Orleans and Montgomery clubs for obtaining money andes false pretenses, on the ground that the game had been advertised as a regular league cont-st, with Cunningham, of Moutgom- ana urieans, aa h. ivwh i.
