A VERY SATISFACTORY MARKET Two Men Pounding Each Other for i Parse of *250. GAS AND MUD—NO PETROLEUM. Pittsburg, Dec. 20.—A prize-fight took place this morning about twenty-ttve miles from here on the Fort Wayne Railroad. The principals were John Gilsone, a Swede, and a German, Reisenhousen. The two men worked together in a mill on the South Side, and considerable bad feeling has been engendered owing to the uncertainty as to which was the better man. They agreed to fight for $250 and they came together at eight o'clock this morning. Tho first round was a knock-down for th3 Swede. In tho second round they both fought for all thoy were worth. There was no science displayed, but they struck at each other right and le't and battered each other's frontispiece in a tjrrible manner. The round was finally settled by the German knocking the Swede down. The third, fourth and fifth rounds were all knock-downs for the German. The sixth, seventh and eighth rounds were knock-downs for the Swede, which made them a tie. In the ninth round they both came to the scratch promptly and this was the hardest-fought round during the whole battle. They struck at *ach other aa if they were blind, and the round was called a draw. The German had tho side of his nose nearly torn off by an upper cut and the Swede received two very bad cuts ab ive the eyes. LATE NEWS.

Among tlicm are pianos and organs, and yet they are on the lists of a great many people who expect to do well by their friends. To such wo recommend a visit to Matthews & West's store rooms, 33 South Main street. Besides pianos of other makes they desire to call especial attention to the instrument manufactured by the New England Piano Company. These are in square and upright styles. They approximate perfection probably more closely than any other instrument and are highly commended by all who have ever used them, as a first-class, medium-priced iustrument. The tone is rich and powerful, and possess rare quality for accompanying singers, a matter which every singer will appreciate. Music Hath Charm*.

The Peace of Europe- New Youk. Dec. 20.—Saward's Coal Trade Journal of to-day savs: There is a very fair market for anthracite. While the wholesale dealers and jc bbers are not overburdened with orders, we note the fact that they all appear to be employed, and they report stocks not so large as was the case a fortnight or so ago, and there is more inquiry from the nearby trade for supplies. At the eastward the stocks arc fair but likely to be rapidly depleted under the continuance of good winter weather, but with the present high freights there is no incentive to lay in further supplies until the necessity for doing so actually arises. It is not to be expected that the shipments of anthracite during the current month will equal the business for December 1881 (2.724,726 tons) for the complaint of scarcity of water at the mines is universal. The official total to tho first of December allows 20.020,(550 tons, as compared with 25,- 775,289 tons last year to the same period.

A TORNADO IN AN OIL WELL. Mud, Water and Gravel Thrown Several Hundred Feet In the Air. Erik, Dec. 20.—A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press, says : " Shortly after 6 o'clock lust evening' the drill at the new well sunk for the almshouse farm, tire miles from here, on the Lake Shore Road, struck a vein at a depth of 575 feet. It was a regular tornado, beside blowing mud, water and gravel out. of the well to a height of Beveral huudred feet, and almost raised the tool, which weighs 2500 pound. Henry Silliman, who had been burned by the buret of gas from the fourth vein, night before last, and which was being used under the boiler, look the precaution this time, at the first indicat'on, to turn off the gas at the furuaco and put out the fire. When the tornado did come it hulled a barrel which had been placed over the hule clear over the derrick. The roaring of the es'japing gas couid be heard fully a milo distant. During the night it settled down, but oven at this time the ttame from the pipe under the boiler sluots up tweuty feet above the smokestack. It is believed that if a head had been placed on the well last night it would have been blown off at 100 pounds pressure, and would certainly blow off at this writing at forty pounds.

The Promise of an 800,000,000 Feet Cut Advanced. Eau Claire, Wis., Dec. 20.—There seems to be this season no limit to the quantity of logs in the valleys of the Chippewa and Kau Claire Rivers, with their tributaries.
