EaOOAEi news COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. The People Able to Manage their own Affairs. Broyles, S. C, July 9,1889. , Editors Intelliqenckb : Is it not a fact that the.gentleman who has just been appointed County^ Treasurer had the en? dorsement of our legislative delegation, or pledges to that effect, prior to the tender of Treasurer Frierson's resignation to the Governor? If so, does it not strike the public that their rights and privileges in the premises have been ignored? Does not the whole affair have the odor of hav-' ing been cut and dried ? When a County official sees proper to resign he should, ' without reference to a successor, hand his trust back to the people to whom it belongs 'and from whom it was sought and obtain? ed. TVas there but one man in the County with the needed qualifications, and was it necessary to resort to subterfuge in order to secure his services, or for fear the people might make a mistake ? The people, espe? cially those of Anderson County, are fully able to manage their public affairs, and whatever tends to defeat or suppress the popular choice merits rebuke, and general? ly receives it in a practical way. Respectfully, John C Gamtt. Meeting or County Alliance. The meeting of the Anderson County Alliance, on 5th inst., was a large and in? teresting one. Delegates were present from every Sub-Alliance (35) in the County, and ?generally a fall representation, there be? ing about 168 delegates. The day was consumed-in the election of officers for the ensuing year, the election of Standing committees, and delegates to the State Alliance, and discussing and passing upon various matters affecting the interest of the order. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: . J. W. Norrls, President. . D. K. Norris, Vice President. W. E. Walters, Secretary. A. A. Dean, Treasurer. - J. B. Watson, Lecturer. . A. C. Latimer, Ass't. Lecturer. I. P. Clinkscales, Door Keeper. C. C. King, Ass't. Door Keeper. J. W* Ashley, Sergeantat Arms. K. M. Burris, Business Agent. Executive Committee?J. M. Glenn, W.:A.

Delegates to State Alliance?A.. C. Latimer and ?>. K. Norrls, Alternates?J. M. Glenn and D. W. Hiott. The .alliance reaffirmed its actions as to the use of cotton bagging instead of jute at any price. The following resolution was adopted, and ordered published: Resolved, That we, the members of the Farmers' Alliance of Anderson County, in Convention assembled, hereby pledge our? selves not to patronize any merchant or ginn er who may keep for sale any jute bagging. _ The Alliance has under consideration and -advisement-several matters affecting the interest, prosperity and welfare of the or? ganization in the-county. Among them the proposition to organize and establish a co-operative Alliance Store at Anderson, with branch stores at other points in the County, to he owned and controlled by Alliance men. Also a proposition to organ? ize a company with a capital stock of not less than $25,000, nor more than $50,000, for the purpose of erecting a Cotton Seed Oil Mill, and manufacturing fertilizers at' Anderson C. H. It is the intention of the Alliance, if these measures are adopted, to go to work at once, and in the very near future to have these enterprises in success? ful operation. W. E. Walters, Secretary County Alliance. Belton Items. -Now is a busy time .with farmers. Elated, over their splendid crop prospects and fearing the dread enemy, in showery seasons, they are driving with a determi? nation to hold against him. A few more days of sunshine and lively moving will place the enemy at a very great disadvan? tage, if he be not rendered completely harmless. He can not be exterminated? never?nobody desires such, but this is one of the. times that farmers must con? trol him. [Repeated and well-directed blows will be a severe check on his for? ward movement. Watermelons?home ?grown?will Boon be plentiful. Late spring oats are being harvested. They are said to be good considering the drought just passed through. The hum of the tresher this week enliv? ens -the quiet of suburbs and country around Belton. The yield, contrary to early predictions, is moderately good, and the workmen go with a rush, indica? tive of satisfactory compensation for the hard, dusty labor. They scarcely delay to test the much relished flavor of tempt? ing peaches on the farms, or' wild berries on the roadside. But a hearty welcome is given the hour when peach pie, apple tart and old fashioned (?) blackberry dumplings, are served in a manner and quantity commensurate with the tastes and appetites of hungry, faithful workers. Our physicians find a few patients by riding some distance into the country. Some cases are rather serious. Among them are Mrs.-Keys and a son, who have typhoid fever. The long talked of changes at the rail? road depot are now fairly under way. The high platform has been lowered, the freight depot torn away for a more com? modious new one, and the old ticket office is to give place to a neat office and waiting rooms. We are glad to see such improvements both for convenience and appearance. These are not all the build? ings to be reared this summer. Plans are being perfected for some that will be orna? ments to our town. We were asked a few days ago whether Belton was on a boom. We replied, "yes, but come and see." It is not a boom inflated with big talk only. The general demand of pros? perous and progressive peoplo has insti? tuted the plans, and substantial growth and improvements will be the outcome. The usual good order here was brokon Saturday night and Marshal Hanks, who is - accustomed to hammer the hardest steel into manageable shape, was forced to exercise his strong arm on some hard heads. Resisting and assaulting offenders find that Marshal Hanks can knock the good feelings of Saturday night offenders into sore heads and sober thoughts, aud can furnish light pocket-books, too, after they have danced to Intendant Geer's song, "hand over the nickles." We spent a pleasant day at Pelzer last Thursday, a Sunday School pic nie being the attraction. Besides the happy people of Pelzer many invited visitors attended. Belton bad a fair representation. We greatly appreciated the compliment paid us by Sunday School Superintendent Owens; though we regarded ourself almost a trespasser and felt constrained to decline the cordial Invitation to a seat on the stand occupied by himself, Captain Smythe, and the speakers of the day. Superintendent Owens may rejoice over the day as a success. But with his able and ready assistants, and the strong and prompt support of hand and heart from President Smythe, is it any wonder that he has one of the best Sunday Schools in upper Carolina ? The young folks of Beltou tested the pleasures of a lawn party Monday even? ing on the Academy Campus. The cha? perons, Mrs. J. M. Geer and Mrs. E. T. Kemp, experienced little difficulty in their duties, each attendant striving to make eyery other one enjoy the occasion. This ' was the first gathering of the students and their friends since the close of our school. Several popular j aung ladies and young gentlemen were conspicuously absent. Of these were Miss Mattie Browu, who has not yet recovered from injuries sustained in Jumping from a runaway buggy; and Miss Bessie Kay, who is visiting in Bir? mingham, Alabama. Miss Fannie Hor? ton and Anna Cliokscales, and Cadet J. S. Partlow, of Edgefield County, are now enjoying a well-earned vacation at their respective homes. After repeated assem? bling for games, pairing off for prome? nades and the like, at eleven the beauti? ful Chinese lanters wore taken down, the groups again paired off and, leaviDg the moon to keep watch over the empty refreshment tables and tbe doserted grounds, took tho final stroll of tbe even? ing, reaching hu. ie with no regrets for having attended the party.

The people, representing several Sunday Schools, came together at an early hour to sing, speak, pray and hear. Mr. W. B. Dunlap delivered the address of welcome, after which addresses were made by Capt. J. B. Humbert of Laurens, Mr. A. C. Latimer of Belton, Pastor Dagnall of the M. E. Church, and Prof. H. H. Watkins of Furman University. The day was profitably and pleasantly spent. Mr. John Smith, living near here, while on his way home from church, with his wife and others in a wagon, had the mis? fortune - of letting his mule run away, throwing his wife out of the wagon. Mrs. Smith was very much bruised. Dr. Shirley was called to attend the crippled woman. She is doing well at this time. Mr. B. F. Arnold, of Princeton, had some powder in a segar box, the other day, and his wife threw the box in tbe fire, not knowing what it contained. In a minute it exploded, burning a child so that it died in a few days. The painter's brush has just given tbe depot a new and beautiful dress. Mrs. Black, of Georgia, is now on a visit to friends here. Col. E. A. Child was in town last week on official business. Col. J. H. Rice, State ouperintoudent of Education, was in town the other day. He is one of the busiest men we know. If I was an editor of Borne big newspaper I j would nominate Col. J. H. Rice for Gov ernor of this State. He is without doubt one of the best men we have for that posi? tion. Rumor says that a negro by the uanie of Roberts is now going round with a petition for the post-office here. It seems to me that we have enough white men here to fill such offices, and unless I am mistaken about what kind of stuff the men here are made of, white men will fill such offices. I would advise Roberts to let tho olBce alone. "A word to the wise ought to be sufficient." Mis?e3 Maggie Bran nan and Alice JLover of Columbia, S. C, are visiting friends here. Some of our boys are all smiles. A very interesting meeting is now in pm gross in the Baptist Church. We trust that great good will be done during the meeting. Rev. J. K.

Tare on Cotton. The following article is copied from the report of the State Departineut of Agriculture for May: - This is a matter in which the farmers are deeply interested, and one not gen? erally understood. Foreign prices, as a rule, regulate domestic markets. In fixing these prices the foreign consumer deducts therefrom whatever it costs him to lay down the cotton at his mill; the weight of the bagging and ties and the loss from damaged cotton. This custom is fully ex? plained in the following extract from a letter from Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York, one of the largest cotton houses in the world, written to the Department of Agriculture: "When a buyer or shipper gets an order from Liverpool for say 100 bales cotton, average middling, Bay at 6 J pence per pound, he knows very well before buying the cotton, in say Columbia, S. C, that he must make allowance for ship Eing expenses in Columbia, freight to liverpool, the current rate of exchange, 6 per cent, loss in weight in Liverpool, say $ per cent, marine insurance, say H per cent, bank discount on his 90 day sigh t bills, say } per cent, brokerage, landing charges, town dues, &c. In Liverpool, his own commission, &c. To allow for all the items_ of unavoidable expense, or to recoup himself for them he simply . bids that much less than 6J pence for the cotton to the merchant or planter in Columbia. If he cannot buy tbe cotton at a price that will per? mit of his delivering it in Liverpool at 6? pence after allowing for all. these expenses, why he simply cannot fill his order, that is all. Then he must either wait until the market comes down, or he must get the limit raised above 6} pence, or he looks out for the same new order. The writer of this has formerly bought thousands of bales on Liverpool orders, and the foregoing is the manner in which he had to allow for the 6 per cent, loss in weight in Liverpool and for the other expenses. Sometimes, of course, orders are simpler. The 6 per cent, loss in weight includes the tare (the actual weight of the bagging and the hoops,) It also includes loss incurred through picking dirty cotton off the outside of the bales, &c. It (6 per cent.) is supposed to be enough to cover all these means of loss, and is accepted as enongh by the party in Liverpool who sends the order to his correspondent in Columbia." Mr. Albert C. Stephens, editor of Bradstreet's, one of the leading trade journals of the country, in a letter to the Department of Agriculture, explains the matter still further. He says: "The cotton trade customs here and abroad differ in the methods of fixing tare allowances. In this country cotton is Bold on its gross weight. In Liverpool it is sold on its net weight, consequently there is a regular system of tare allow? ance in the latter market, while there is none recognized in this country. But this fact is taken into account by the cotton trade, and quotations are based accordingly, so that there really exists no difference in the ultimate result. The rules of the New York Cotton Exchange specify that cotton bales shall be bound with ties not to exceed six in number and two pounds each in weight, making total weight of ties not to exceed 12 pounds per bale. In addition, it is stip? ulated that no unnecessary bagging shall be used. Any excess in either direction must be allowed for, or the cotton may be rejected. In Liverpool the following allowances are deducted irora the gross weight in order to reach the net weight basis: 1. Two pounds per bale for draft. 2. Actual weight of iron bands (ties) ascertained by weighing the bands from a few bales and taking their average weight for the lot. 3. Four pounds for each 112 pou.ud? for tare. The allowance for draft is the survival of an old custom which allowed a certain amount 'Tor good measure." The four pound "tare" allowance above mentioned is really an allowance for bagging only. In its broad, general meaning "tare" means an allowance for bagging only. Mir. Berry Benson, of Augusta, Ga., obtained from Potter & Co., one of the largest exporting houses of that city, the following information for the Department of Agriculture: The tare is fixed by the Boards of Trade of the different ruling centres, where cotton is bought. The European consu? mer buys cotton only, paying for net weight, and not for bagging and ties. In Liverpool,-the tare is: 2 pounds per bale for double draft, 4 to 6 pounds per bale for ties, and 4 pounds per hundred weighty, c.,212.pounds.) "In Havre, the actual weight of ties is deducted, and ? per cent. tare.. In Bremen, 6 per cent, covets tho tare. In Amsterdam, 4 per cent., and actual weight of ties. In other words, the foreign buyer pays for the actual weight of the cotton. In American markets,, no deduction is made for bagging and ties, except when there is an excess of either upon the bale. If cotton is wet, or with caked mud or dirt upon the bales, the weigher makes a suitable deduction in his judgment. Tho information furnished In the foregoing letters proves clearly that the foreign consumer pays for cotton only, and that.when the difference between the weight of jute and cotton covering is adjusted in fixing the tare, the farmer will lose nothing by the use of the lat? ter. To Cure the Taste lor Liquor. To the Editor of the New York Sun: You published to-day a' letter of an an nonymous correspondent asking: "Can any one give me a cure for drunkenness V I will in the same way give your corres? pondent a cure, through you, if you will publish it. Indulgence in spirits after awhile? which is longer or shorter according to the constitution of the person?produces irritation, inflammation and fever of the stomach, hence the craving of drink; and the greater the fever the greater the craving. Ab spirits act also on the' ner? vous system and on the brain, the nerves becom es impaired and tbe brain weaken? ed. Who can deny that a person ailing in these several ways is laboring under a serious disease? He has then no will power to exercise, because the seat of the will is in the nervous centres, and when these are impaired or destroyed bo is also the will power. ? Here is the cure; Let the person have ? within his reach a small vial of the best kind of tincture of Peruvian bark, and when the craving for liquor comes on him let him take a teaspoonful of the tincture every two hours. In a few days the taste for liquor is destroyed, and destroyed while indulging in it, fo? tincture of Pe? ruvian bark is spirits into which haB been drawn all tbe substance of Peruvian bark. It is to be found in every drug Btore, but it should be of the vpry best. Peruvian bark is a tonic. It is also the best, if not the only, cure known for fe j ver. It is from Peruvian bark that qui? nine is extracted, and moreover, it is au anti-periodic. It is by these three agen? cies that it destroys the cravings for liquor. Any one wishing to be cured of that ail? ment can be in the way I have described, but there are few drunkards who wish to be cured, -._1 \ft By* ?

Rutledge, Ga., July C?S. R. Horton, a prominent farmer, was ambushed near here this morning and was fatally shot. There is no clue to the perpetrators, but it is supposed that the tragedy grows out of Horton finding evidence against parties who stole property from him. Washington, July 7.?About three o'clock this morning, Artie Shirley, a young man formerly of Richmond, Va., threw himself in front of a south bound fast freight and was crushed to death. Shirley was about twenty-four years of age, and was employed in Richmond. He was engaged to be married to a young lady of that city.' She died a mouth ago after a sudden illness, and Shirley gave up his employment and c?iue to Wash? ington. Chicago, July 6.?A special from Milwaukee, Wis., says: "It was reported to the police here last evening that Louis Oherier, cashier of the bank at Hough ton, has disappeared with a large amount in his possession. It is not known definite? ly, but it is surmised that Onerier has in his possession the money which was to be used in paying off tbe employees of the Hecla and other great mines. If this is correct he has with him something over $50,000 in cash." Winnsboro, July 6.?Mrs. Caroline Smith, a lady about 00 years old, was drowned yesterday in a small branch a short distance from her home, She had gone to visit her brother, Joseph Smith, and was on her way back. While cross* iug a small branch, which is ordinarily not more than a few feet wide, but which on account of the heavy rains had become much swollen, she lost her footing and was washed away. She lived alone in a house apart from any other dwelling. When friends called at her house this morning she could not he found. They immediately set out in search of her, and her body was found lying in the branch some distance down the stream. Wheeling, W. Va., July 6.?At the Fourth of July picnic at Horse Neck, Pleasant County, Va., two wealthy far? mers, Frank Millan, and Sam Cronin, quarrelled over Millan's attention to Cro nin'8 wife. Millan assaulted Cronin, and the latter drew a revolver and shot him dead. Frank Webb, while intoxicated, rushed into the crowd at Rush Run, Fa yette , County, yesterday, and began shooting right and left. Ohas. Weller was shot dead and his brother seriously wounded before the maniac was captured. A desperate attempt was made to wreck the Elm Grove motor, carrying over three hundred excursionists, at 1 o'clock yes? terday morning. An immense pile of ties was laid on the track, just at tbe end of a' high trestle. By a lucky accident the engine was not derailed and all escaped. Fifty yards further on the trestle another pile of ties was found. Savannah, July 2.?A carboy of sul? phuric acid burst in the ware house of Lippman Eros., on River Street, at the foot of Abercorn, this morning. William Rogers, a colored porter, and Henry Johnson, a colored drayman, were moving it to tbe dray in the street at the time. The fluid flew in all directions. Fortun? ately none ot it struck the faces of the two men. Johnson's hands were partly covered with it, however, and severely burned. Rogers was almost bathed in it from the waist down. Almost in a second it had burned through his clothing and began its terrible work upon his flesh. Suffering horribly, he ran from the building across the street and to tbe end of the wharf, w here he plunged overboard in the hope of obtaining relief.

The People Aroused, Charleston, S. 0., July 5.?It begins to look now as though McDow's "little indiscretion,"- which he so confidently ex? pected his friends to overlook, may give him more trouble than he anticipated, The publication of an interview with Clerk of Council Simmons, in which he states that the best people in Charleston indorse the verdict, has raised a storm of indignation in the community that will probably find vent in a public indignation meeting. The key note of this sentiment is voiced in a letter published to-day, and which, it is said, is written by a prominent clergyman, in which the writer says: "As a law abiding citizen I earnestly protest against any official of the city government undertaking to represent the sentiment of the community on this sub? ject. I believe that this verdict filled the hearts of many of our people with grief and shame; that it is regarded as a blow to our good and an injury only equaled by some of tbose afflictions with which nature has visited us." The publication, too, of tbe editorial .comments of the newspapers has had a very perceptible effect. The newspaper here which has defended McDow from the very day of the murder, and is the exponent of the McDow element in the community, is nut in an editorial de? nouncing these editorial comments. The writer Bays: There are a class of writers at tbe north who seize upon every incident which may be construed injuriously for our section to frantically exclaim that northern capital will not go south unless things are altered. All those individuals who desire to place their capital out on purely sentimental grounds would very probably find abun? dant opportunity in the north, and repe? tition of this threat has simply become wearisome. Dr. McDow is also in trouble with the medical society of which he was elected a member only a month or so before he slew Captain Dawson. It is said he sent his letter of "resignation on Monday last, but that the society refused to receive it, the intention being to expel him. The letter was laid upon the table, but it will probably be accepted later on, in order to avoid the tiresome process of going through the process of a trial which is re? quired by the society's constitution. It is rumored, too, that several members of St. John's Lutheran church, at which McDow attended service Sunday last, have severed their connection with the church.?Dispatch to the Atlanta ConstitU' tion. He Fell 1,200 Feet, Providence, R. I., July 4.?One of the most frightful experiences ever had by an aeronaut was that of Prof. Wal borne Allen this afternoon, Allen actually dropped from the clouds a dis? tance of 1,200 feet, but to-night he lives to tell the tale of the remarkable fall. His air ship What Cheer, a new balloon, proved to be a treacherous carrier. The ascension was made about 4:30 o'clock. The balloon rose 300 feet, when it was caught in a current of air going directly opposite from the way iu which it had set out. This surprised the spectators. Suddenly the balloon veered again and set off co the North. Then reaching an altitude of about 1,200 feet, a current of air from the West swept the balloon towards East Providence and over to? wards the big Wilkesbarre pier. For a moment the airship seemed to stand still and waver, Suddenly the balloon col? lapsed. It reeled and turned bottom up and then it rolled around once more and! the basket lay out horizontally from the envelope. Then it fell rapidly* The terrified spectators next saw the gas bag on top once more, and fast near ing the earth. They saw a form clam? ber up into tbe ropes and towards tbe big letters which made the words "What Cheer." This form was that of the youth? ful professor. Only for a Becond did the bottom stand erect. It rolled completely over again, and the drag rope made a1 complete circuit of the air ship, and was whipped about violently. Whipping out his knife, Allen pierced b rent in the canvass, and the balloon spread out like a parachute, and shot downward like a disabled bird and landed iu a lot. The concussion threw he toronaut out. He was picked up semi-unconscious, badly ehaken up and very pa'.e, but was not seriously injured. A PALLING FIGHT. Kilrain Tires nimself Out Trying to Tiro Rull! van. Richburg, Mississippi, July .8?The fight train arrived here at 5.50 this morn? ing. After worrying around for half the night and speculating on the chances for a fight the people at the hotels, clubsjand on the streets in New Orleans moved with a common impulse toward the depot at 11.30 o'clock. They trusted not to the street cars but took cabs and carriages and every Jehu in the city did a land office business. Down at tho depot there was AN INDESCRIBABLE CRUSH. It seemed as though everybody in the city was going to the fight and it happen? ed that everybody wanted to get aboard at the same time. Through careless management the holders of inner ring tickets who paid dearly for their trip were forced to go through a narrow passage way, well guarded with policemen, to reach the cars. At this small opening several hundred people congregated and jostled, pushed and lought to secure ad? mission. Clothes were torn, hats were crushed and nervous people were shocked but the crowd finally got through and tho seven cars of the select train were quickly filled. In the throng were nuny of the most prominent people in the city of business, financial, social and political character. It included bankers, mer? chants, lawyers, editors and reporters, and was perhaps as cosmopolitan a gath? ering as has ever come together on any occasion. During the crush pick pockets tried to get in their work and one sporting man from the North w?,s relieved of his watch and chain. The greatest difficulty was experienced by the management in keeping people without tickets off the train, and a force of detectives was provi? ded in each car. Some venturesome people who had no money to pay their way RISKED THEIR LIVES ON THE ROOF of the cars, and it required the strictest watching to discover all who hung on the trucks and other dangerous portions of the coaches. Just before the train was finally made np Attorney General Hogers came aboard with Adjutant Gen? eral Fairer and Col. Clem. Walker of the Governor's staff and stated that the fight must positively not take place on Louisi? ana soil. At first no answer was made, but the officials were finally told that the men would not fight in the State. It was expected that troops would appear at the depot, but there were but; two companies in the city, one composed of forty men and the other of only s, bakers' dozen. In reply to a requisition made on them by the Governor for train accommodations for troops the railroad people replied that the State could not be accommodated since all their rolling stock had been chartered. Tbe Governor was, however, offered transportation with his men on the regular train. Donovan and Bottle holder Johnny Mnrphy, were on the train when Kilrain left the city yesterday. All their baggage, water, etc., were left behind, and Kilrain bad to use other water, which it was feared might hurt him. At 1.30 a. m,, the first train with twelve coaches pulled out and the conduc? tor and engineer were given instructions to go straight through to the battle ground without, stop. Aboard the train informa? tion was furnished officially that both Sullivan and Kilrain bad reached the battle ground at 6.30. There was scarce? ly any betting at all on tbe train. The passengers simply talked over the merits of the two men and slept on the way over. Many shots were fired in order to frighten off stealers of rides and the con? ductors found many tough characters se? creted in tbe closets and other out of the way places. The discovery of one group of these non ticket holders almost precip? itated a shooting affair, but the trouble was avoided by the ejectment of tbe sneaks. On the train coming over were the Chief of Police of New Orleans, Com? missioner of buildings, and in fact most of the prominent officials of the city. The Attorney General and staff left the car at Slidell and stood at the railway station until morning waiting for the returning train. The fight takes placo.atRichburg, which is 92 miles from Meribjah-and 1?3 from New Orleans. ilpfs! perfect arranges?^?yV?;i So perfect are the arrangements'that there is absolutely no fear of -: military interference. Richburg is virtually owned by Mr. Rich, and his place- covers an area 10,000 acres, extending over three counties of Mississippi. Mr. Blich is the owner of an extensive saw mill, and this place was picked out simply because of the bars it offered to suspi? cion, . Last night after dark a body of one hundred and Bixty men went to work by tbe aid of bonfires to perfect the battle ground, which is on the saw dust of the mill, and seats for 1,500 people were hastily constructed. The owner of the property had made splendid arrange? ments for the pugilists and a room on the property was provided for Kilrain. Quarters were also fitted up for Sullivan and party. In these apartments tbe fight? ers spent last night. At the Mississippi line there was a party of twenty-five armed men, and the train was flagged but no attention was paid to the signal and the special dashed by at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour. It was just before day when the train got into Mis? sissippi. The ring was pitched and every? thing was in readiness for the fight to take place at eight o'clock. THE FIGHT IN DETAIL. New Orleans, July 8.?The Sullivan Kilrain fight occurred this morning ? at Bichburg, Miss., 105 miles distant from New Orleans. Sullivan won in the 72d round. Neither of the contestants was seriously injured, although J?ilrain was very weak. ' Kilrain won the first fall and first blood, Sullivan the first knock down. The fight lasted, two hours and eighteen minutes. The first information of the result was brought to New Or? leans by the special train of tbe Associa? ted Press, which made tbe run of 105 miles in three hours and ten minutes. There was no interference. Kilrain was the first to shy his castor into the ring. He was seconded by Charley Mitchell and Mike Donovan, John Mur? phy bottle holder. -Sullivan followed a minute later and was roundly cheered. His seconds were William Muldoon and Mike Cleary, Daniel Murphy, of Boston, bottle holder. Pat Kendrick, of New Orleans, was suggested for referee by Kilrain and John Fitzpatirick, also of New Orleans, by Sullivan. After slight wrangling Fitzpatrick was mutually agreed upon as referee. Kilrain won the toss for position and selected the northeast corner, Sulllivan taking the Southwest. Just before time was called Kilrain stepped over to Sullivan and offered to wager $1,000 on the result, which was promptly accepted by Sullivan and the money placed in Referee Fitzpa trick's hands. the LAST rounds. Seventy-second round?Sullivan forced the fighting, leading, and landed slightly several times, Kilrain again going down to avoid punishment, Seventy-third round?Kilrain retreated all around the ring. The round ended ? with Kilrain gning.down to avoid pun? ishment. Seventy-fourth round?Kilrain led, landing slightly on Sullivan's head. The latter finally went down with a slight blow. Seventy-fifth round?Kilrain went down with a light blow in the jaw and was cautioned by the referee. When time was called for the seventy sixth round Mitchell ran over to Sulli? van's corner and asked if he would give Kilrain a present provided they would throw up the sponge. Sullivan gen? erously answered, "Of course I will," but Mike Donovan, seeing the condition of his principal, to save him further pun? ishment threw up the sponge, and Sulli? van had again proven bis title as cham? pion of the world. The only marks ou Sujlivau were a slight out under the right eye and another on the left ear. Kilrain's body Bhowed iho effect of Sullivan's blows, and he was bleeding at the ears, nose and mouth. Both raon were hurriedly conveyed tr he train by their friends and given atteni. >a; Sullivan's condition was superior to Kil? rain's, the latter looking as if he had been over trained. At no time excepting when Sullivan's stomach gave evidence of weakness was there a doubt as to the final result ot the fight. ills Name Was Itcei.j. Charleston, S. C, July 7.?The publication in the Sun of Saturday of the rumor concerning Father Reeks, of St. George's Cathedral, London, and Dr. Cronin and their alleged relations to tbe late Captain Daivsou created quite a sensation here. It was known only among Captain Dawson's intimate friends that his real name was Reeks and that he had a brother in the priest? hood in Loudon. The publication in the Sun was, therefore, quite a surprise to most people here. Father Reeks visited this city some years ago aud was inti? mate with Captain Dawson, although it was not generally known ithat tbe two were brothers. An intimate friend of the dead editor stated to the Sun corres? pondent that Captain Dawson got his name from an uncle?Admiral Dawson? who adopted him in his boyhood and educated him, intending to provide for him. The admiral, however, died before the necessary papers bad been drawn out, and young Reeks, or Dawson, was left to make his own way in life. He had left the parental roof on his own volition, and refused to return to his parents or to resume his name. Just at that time the war between the States commenced and young Reeks, still bearing tbe name of Dawson, embarked on a blockade runner and came to the Confederate States, where his career is well known. The story that Dr. Cronin id any way related to the Reekses is not credited here. Senator Hampton's Story to the Presi? dent. Senator Wade Hampton is a good story-teller, writes a correspondent of the Columbus (Ohio) Journal. As far as is known he ia up to this time tbe only ?oi.an who has had the temerity to ;??: :hu President an impious tale,"?iid GeV-. Harrison was actually very much pleased with the narrative. "I always did like army stories," he says, "and you can't expect army stories to be good enough to teli a Sunday School class. I forgave the piofanity of Senator Hampton's atory out of consideration for its wit." The story Senator Hampton told was an army story not particularly new and fresh, but new to the President. "One day during the war," Baid the Senator, "the colonel of a South Caroli? naregiment was making a round of inspec? tion. Sitting lazily on a rail fence whit? tling at a piece of shingle, be found a man whose face was not familiar to him. The colonel was indignant. Approach ing the loafer he called out to him with all the proper Beverity: 'Who the? are you, sitting here in this fashion?' 'I air,' responded the man on the fence, continuing bis whittling, 'am the chap? lain of the ?st regiment. Now, who in ? are you ?" NeiT Scheme to Fool the Negro.
