PuucbliiK-sprlnttuK foulest lie Iween Edward DeMund of New vork !and Oscar DeArmoiid or Knoxvllle, With other Bouts. A four-round glote contest came oil in the suburbs last night between Iiilward DeMund, the New York bantam weight, and Oscar DeArmond of Kuoxville. Later events on the card save the crowd its money's worth, but the performance of the stars was a bang up fake. The KnoxTille party bunched his tlukcs and worked his left like a straiglitout pumphandle; the muscles of his chucks became rigid with a fit of grins, and he proved to be a handy man with his legs in bis ability to keep out of harm's way and in his agility in getting to his scut on the call of time. DeMund, in liis .. lats. must be a clever fighter. He showed himself skillful in a round tor points after the fake show, but there wasn't the ghost of a chance for him in the run ning match with the sprinter from Ten ncssee. DeMund was born m Koumania 21 years ago, but lias been m America the past 112 venrs, where his home has been made in Xcw ork Citv. lie lights nt 110 pounds and lias met somegood ones in his class, He fought George Bvnnct in the Brighton Athletic club, Brooklyn, in what started out to be a ten rounds go, but the police interfered iu the fifth round when Hennct was licing brutallv punished. Other amateur fights includ ed a licking given to Henry Goodman in eight rounds, in the rooms ol a club on Hudson street in iNevv ork. UeMuml also sparred with George IHxon. UeArmonrl stated unit lie laid no claim for pugilistic honors and that his only fistic glory had been gamed in exln bition bouts in the Arcade saloon kept by his brother in Kuoxville. lie weighed lbO pounds in the ring last night. At nine o'clock between forlv unci fifty sports had come together to see the Inn, and the parse was collected from tbe crowd by a young man whose tousled bangs and reckless display ol the "long green" proclaimed him to be dead game and in the incipient stages of an inglo rious jag. The young man-with-a jig an nounced that be "was elected treasurer" and retired with the purs?, presumably for consultation with the piincipal. As he Ielt the enclosure a contributor sung out, ' bav, thev won t t row this scrap for that dollar, will they ?" When the "stull was counted the sup ply was considered to be too "slim" lor the original tip of a fight to a finish and the expected but non-appearing fratern ity from Asheville whose windy promises had gotten up the match was licnouiiccu for a crowd ol chumps. The result, how ever, proved tuat some Asheville sports have long bends, and in this particular instance had s:ed up the affair as a scheme for "raising a little wind" by par ties at leapt one of whom can't tight a little bir. The gloves were thrown into the ring and towels, water and oiie sponge were spread out at 1U o'clock. ''Well, get ready," was the speech ol the master of ceremonies and the men stepped briskly to the center, slmok hands and telt lor an opening. I he kid forced in a swing lor the big fellow's topknot but the mini from Tennessee wasn't there. In the secon I round there was a rapid givc-und-lukc and the crowd cheered the pair lo keep it up. The spunk died out as quickly as it had fired, however, and it was a running match to the close. A consolation round was given the spectators, hut it was a repetition ot the first four. DeArmond was winded and Hopped into a seat. Tbe chase was clearly DcMuml's and was so decided by tbe referee. The bantam and an unknown then had a lively meeting, and the night closed with a tilt between two coons dubbed the "Coffee Cooler" and the "Mountain Skyclone." The darkies darted at each other in dead earnest, but were hall by cries ol "Shake hands first." The "Cooler" told the crowd "we'se heali lo fight. I donu wan' to shake hands wid him," and they punched and tumbled around till the perspiration tilled up their eyes and their shoes came off. The contribution was given to the "Sky clone." NOW MR. HILL. Heuator Mills And Tbe luvonie rax. Washington, April 25. In his speech on the tar ill' yesterday Mr. Mills said the income tux had been denounced to the Senate by the Senator from New York I Mr. Hill) as socialistic, anarchistic and sectional, but when the poor laborer had to pay 08" percent, duty on the shirt he wore that tax was r ot so denounced. All taxes, he repeated, should be assessed in proportion to the ability of the tax oavcr to pay, and in proportion to the property which had to be protected. He had never beard that the heuator Iron) New Vork, wheu he was Governor ol that State, bad called on the Legislature to repeal the income tax there, and if such a tux was a fair one in the State ot New York, why was it not also a fair one foi the United States.
