DEMPSEY IS WHIPPED.

Tbe Battle Occurs In San Francisce and
Its Result Proves a Great Surprise
te the TectAters.
San Francisce, Aug. 28. The fight last
night between Jack Dcmpsey and La
Blanche, the Marine, came te a sudden end
In the 32d round when Dcmpsey wns
knocked out by a chance blew. Bcfore
thai blew was given Dcmpsey seemed te
have the Marine In his pewer and every
ene In the hall looked upon him as a cer
tain victor.
The sudden termination of the fight was
a great surprise. In the nineteenth round
Dcmpsey knocked La Blanche down and
up te the thirty-second round with a few
exceptions he had the fight ull his own way.
Even in the thirty-second round Dempscy
forced La Blanche into a corner and pound
ed him unmercifully. They gradually
worked te the centre of the ring and wliile
Dempsey still continued te pound La
Blanche's neck, the latter whirled around
suddenly and caught Dcmpsey a terrific
blew en the Jaw and the "Nonpareil"
went down like a shot. He fell heavily
upon his face and bleed spurted out upon
the fleer of the ring. Ten seconds went by
aiald Intcnse excitement. Dempscy strug
gled bravely te rise, but bcfore he had
reached his feet, weak and staggering, the
tlme bad expired and the refcrce awarded
the fight te La Blanche.
The result of this fight is the greatest
surprlse that has ever taken place in the
pugilistic history of this country, but It ap
pears, from the account ubove, that La
Blanche only wen by a chance blew. Tlicte
men fought in March 1680, near Nsw Yerk
clty.wheiiDonipsey wen in thirteen rounds.
La Blanche was dissatisfied ever the result,
howercr, and claimed te have bcen fouled
by the "Nonpareil," the name by which
juompsey lias been known for years.
The Marine also claimed that he
could have done better had the fight
net been under Londen rules. The fight
of last evening was with big gloves,
Queensbury rules, for the middleweight
championship and a purse, of 85,000 te the
winner and 500 te the loser. SInce Domp Demp
sey has been in the ring he has rapidly
geno te tbe front. Last night is
the first tlme that he has ever
been bested, although he has (1 cured
in ever a scere of fights. He has been
considered the best man of his weight in
the United States, if net in Iho world, by
the best Informed sporting men. He was
willing te go against anybody and he made
Charles Mitchell, tbe heavyweight, afraid
of him. In California, and in fact all ever
the country, the sports thought Dempsey
bad a walk -ever, and odds of 100te$35
wero offered en him as late as yesterday
afternoon. The result of last night's moot meet
ing brings La Blanche te the front and is a
damper en Dcmpsey.
AVFLICTr.1) CATTLE.
Texas Fever In the Herds in the Pnsture
Seuth of Arkansas.
Reliable news of the greatest impertance
te cattle men In all sections of the United
States comes from the southern line of
Kansas andtlie pasture lauds of the
Indian territory. There has been
for soiue tlme a suspicion among
rattle dealers that the benis of na
tive and Texas cattle which range in the
territory wcre allllctcd with Texas fever,
but nothing dellnile could be learned. A
man named William Jehnsen has lust re
turned from a trip te Oklahoma ana passed
through the country where the herds are
pastmed. Ashouidde the trip en horse herso herse
back, he was able te thoroughly Inves
tigate the trouble. He savs that net
only are the natives ahlictcd, but
the through Texaus are dying by hun
dreds iu the pastuie south of Arkansas
City. The symptoms are exactly the same
as Texas fever, but through Tcxans
have never been known te die of the dis
ease. He says cattle are being shipped te
market from pastures where carcasses are
lying in hundreds, and of the same brands
as theso shipped, and that they are consid
ered geed enough for canners' stock, and
overy thing gees. A colored man who had
bought 130 head of geed natlves and had
them in a pasture with through Texaus 1ms
already lest ever half of his herd, and the
rest are dying rapidly. This incident is
ropeated from sevcral pastures, and cattle
men are becoming much alarmed. Among
cattle raisers it Is a prevalent belief that the
dlscase is net Texas fover, but something
even mere serieus. It issaid the manager
of the Kansas City stock yards will take
iinmedlate action in the matter and try te
prevent the shipping of cattle from the
points where the uisease is raging.

WANT IT ABOLISHED.
The Southern States Move Fer the Re
peal ofTebnccn Taxes.
WakhhiBtim Dispatch te Philadelphia ledger.
It may be safely aslmmed that at the ap
proaching session of Congress a determined
effort will be made te abolish the tax en to
bacco in all its forms. The members from
Southern totacce growing states, without
regard te party, are pledged te the aboli
tion, and may be rolled upon te Initiate a
movement te accomplish that resulL At the
last sosslen It will be recalled that Mr.
Cewlcs, North Carolina, introduced a bill te
abolish the tax en tobacco, and that bv a
vete or th Heuse it was referred te 'the
commltteo en appropriations, because it
was known that the ways and means com cem com
mlteoo would net report a revenue billdu
which prevision was net made for reduc
tion In custom duties. A large majority of
the Heuse favored the Cewlcs bill. It was
en the calendar with a favoruble report
from tbe committee en appropriations, and
had the Heuse bcen given the opportunity
te vete upon the measure It would have
been passed. This wns defeated, how
ever, mainly through the agency of the
spaker, who refused te recognlze Mr.
( en les or Mr. Randall, who, as chairman
of the committee, had parliamentary
charge of tbe mcasure te make Iho neces
sary motions te bring tbe bill bcfore the
Hoiihe for action. At (he coining session
the tobacco men propeso te make an effort
te have the rules se amended us te prevent
the speaker from arbitrarily determining
what measures shall or shall net be takeu
up by the Heuse. Further than this, the
Republican members from Seuthern tobacco-growing
states will net vete in
caucus for any candidate for speaker who
will net nsree te rccocnlze a narllamenlnrv
movement te bring a repeal bill befere the
Heuse.
In furtherance of this movemont against
the tobacco tax petitions arc new being
prepared In theso states in which tobacco
and fiult spirits are manufactured, ad
dressed te the members representing Iho
sevcral dlstrlcts,praylng tliey will upare no
effort te seciire the abolition of taxes en
tobacco and fruit spirits. The preamble te
the petition declare:
"It has been the traditional policy of this
government te resert te oxclse taxes only
as a war mcasure, nnd it has frequent-
lv llfplt rficnll.fwl l.T. lii nnnnln lliwfvl.
tliclr representatives in Congress, within
the past 20 years, that the true principle of
rcvemie reform points te the abolition of
the existing internal rovenuo system,
which was created te previde for the extra
ordinary expenses Incident te a state of
war, and the centinuance of which In
volves the employment, at the cost of mil
lions of dollars annually, of an army of
wsrusuurs. collectors, supervisors, tioioc tieioc tioiec
lives, spies and ethers, previously un
known, whose prosence is a perpetuel and
grewluc insult te the free spirit of our
people."
Tne petitioners prcsent their demands In
the following plain language: "We, the
petitioners, us Republicans and Democrats,
are therefere agreed that the taxes en to
bacco and fruit brandy ought te be re
pealed ns the first sten toward the reduc
tien of Federal taxation. We have been
thwarted for 20 years by an audacious use
of the pewer of party caucus te stlile our
damands and shut the mouths of our rep
resentatives ; and realizing, therefore, that
we must, for a tlme at least, rosume
our character as sovereigns under
the constitution, we repudiate the
dectrine of Implicit obedience te the decrees
of a caucus, concerning which we find no
previsions in the constitution, and Insist
that, in the organization of the Fifty-first
Congress, you shall vete only for candidates

A DESCENDANT OF HAMILTON.
He Falls Rafbre Something Werse Thau
Burr's Bullet.
The identity of Mr. Hamilton, husband
of tbe woman who stabbed her nurse at
Atlantic City en Monday, is new thorough
ly established. He has received many
telegrams from relatives. Befere Justice
Irving he testificd that he was Rebert
Ray Hamilton, or the New Yerk bar, thirty-eight
years of age and the husband of
the woman who did the stabbing, though
hodecl.ncdtesny hew long he had been
married.
Rebert Ray Hamilton Is a son of General
Schuyler Hamilton and a great-grniidsen
of Alexander Hamilton, who wns killed Iu
the famous duel with Aaren Burr. His
family has ever bcen eminent In literature
and politics. He himself acquired an en
vlnblu reputation In political circles. In
1881, 1BS0, ISS7 nnd 1&3 he represented the
Eleveuth district iu the Assembly, and was
known as au active rorermor. He wns Iho
leader of the Republican organization In
the Eloventh assembly district up te two
months nge, when he resigned.
He wasngiadunte of Columbia college
and Columbia law school nnd had a law
oIIIpe nt 223 Broadway. He was a member
of the Union Lcague, University, Knicker
bocker nnd Tuxedo clubs and lias an in
come of $20,000 n year.
His wife is a beautiful woman, with a
reputation ns black ns alie was charming,
and a temper that could net be surpassed.
They first lived iu New Yerk nt Mrs.
Smith's bearding house. There she Intro
duced him te Mrs. J. P. Swinton. a woman
sixty-two years old, whom she called
"Mamma, "and te Jeshua Mann, who,
according te the neighbors, wns known us
"her brother. "
This was In January last. The Ifnmlt
tqns had hardly get settled when their al al
leged relnllves hired the first fleer of Ne.
Ill West Fiftechth street, only a row doers
below. At that tlme Mis. Swlnten's
family consisted of hoiself, Mr. Mann, who
is nor son ny ner nrst mismiuu ; a nana nana nana
seme veumr clrl named Carrie. whom she
called her daughter, nnd nn Infant, which
she said she was brlnglngup for Its mother.
iins latniiy apparently had no source of
Inceme, but they llved well and wero nl
ways supplied with money. Mann was
never known te work.
The HamilUiiiB were only n low weeks at
the boardlng-liOMSe when the uitrse, Mary
Donuelly, who had chnrge of their child,
which Is new eight mouths old, was In
stalled. Whoiicver Hamilton left the
heuse early in the evening, as he frequent
ly did, te lcutnin away all night, Muiy wns
sent te the Swinton heuse te Invite Maun
te see her mistress.
Hamilton was net entirely Ignorant of
thognme she wns playing en him, how hew how
evor, for nocerdlng te the stories or pcople
Who lived near he knew her long before
ha married her nnd wns well acquainted
with her character. He was a inau of the
world, but probably no ene outside or ids
Intlmnte circle or friends would have
known of his alleged marrhige le this
woman if it lind net been been brought te
light by this stabbing affray.
