GER1IAXI AND AUSTRIA IN THE DEAL.
The rrrjtct to Eemoie to Madrid Mast Therefore be
Abandoned.
Through Bismarck's diplomacy Austria
has abandoned the defense of the Pope, in
order to strengthen the triple alliance. The
Italian Gorernment has therefore assumed a
bolder tone to the Vatican. England will
join hands with Germany and her allies in
case of war. Francs and Russia are to be
coerced into peace.

Berlin, August 17. While the Em
perors have been holding receptions, review
ing troop, banqueting and generally per
forming the decorative roles associated with
imperialism, some momentous practical
work has been done by the diplomatic and
military chiefs of the alliance. Prince Bis
marck's prolonged conferences with Count
Kalnoky and Count Szecheni embraced
questions relating to Servia and Bulgaria,
the Cretan rising and the threatened dis
turbance of the amity between Austria and
Italy over the position of the Papacy.
Emperor Francis Joseph's friendship for
the Pope, and his recent personal pledges to
prevent the Italian Government encroach
ing upon the Vatican, combined with Signor
CrispiSs openly expressed resentment at
Austria's interference, appeared to make
Prince Bismarck's efforts toward restoring
the entente difficult.
bismabck's diplomacy.
With his usual tact and good luck, the
Chancellor has arranged the quarrel at the
cost of the Vatican. Emperor Francis
Joseph, whose individuality, never strong,
has been evidently weakened by his recent
afflictions, has submitted to Count Kal
noky's representations and abandoned in
dependent support ot the Pope. As soon
as Kalnoky secured a free hand to renew
the entente with Italy he threw the weight
of Austria's influence on the side of the
Crisp! policy in order to stop the Pope's
negotiations looking to his leaving the
Vatican.
Count Dubskv, the Austrian Minister to
Madrid, was instructed to advise the Queen
Regent and Government against encourag
ing the Pope to seek an asylum in Spain.
The Austrian Minister to the Vatican at
the same time was ordered to recommend
the Pope to rely on the friendly intentions
of Kinc Humbert. Count Dubsky's com
munications have not been well received iu
Madrid, but, in the face of Austria's de
sertion, the Pope's departure from Borne is
impossible.
VIRTUALLY A PRISONER.
Signor Crispi, encouraged from Berlin,
has sent the officials of the Vatican private
hints that the Italian Government would
sot permit the Papal Treasure or Vatican
art objects to leave Borne. It could not
prevent the Popes' personal departure, but
the contents of the Vatican must remain.
- Prince Bismarck must have counted the
' cost ot his unfriendly diplomacy toward the
Vatican, balancing the increased Centerist
hostility against the weakening of the
triple alliance. He preferred an intensified
feud in the Center party to the risk of los
ing Italian co-operation.
f General Beck's interviews with General
von Waldersee and War Minister DuVer
nois resulted in a military convention,
which, associated with the Italian conven
tion, completes the plans for naval and
military combinations in the event ot war.
Although no official warrant is given for
the reported absorption of England into the
alliance, the language of the semi-official
press justifies the inference that the British
Government has agreed that their naval and
military lorces will co operate with those of
the alliance in repressing any wanton dis
turbance of the European peace.
A POWER IN EUROPE.
The question now becomes prominent how
the League will use its tremendous strength.
Russian papers, recognizing the formidable
character of the League, predict that Bis
marck, having formed the mightiest coali
tion ever seen, will hasten to settle scores
with Bussia and France. The leading of
ficial organs of Berlin and Vienna breathe
a language of general goodwill. The North
German Gazette rejoices over the strength
of the alliance, and its ability to meet any
eventnalities from the East or West. The
Fremdenblatt trusts that permanent peace is
secured, and boasts that the allied powers
are ready to face any emergency.
Sensational rumors of a general disarma
ment pervade diplomatic circles. The Em
peror's visit to Strasburg, it is expected,
will be signalized by some declaration re
lating to peace or war. It is said that the
Emperor will announce a project for the
limitation ot European armaments, threat
ening as an alternative a general war.
Pacts, however, do not accord with this ex
pectation. A -WAR SriBIT PREVAILS.
The spirit of militarism was never
stronger in the Emperor and the Imperial
circle. It is more likely that the Emperor's
speeches at Strasburg and Mctz will be out
spoken warnings to Prance to cease nourish
ing dreams of revenge. No note of peace
wa heard in his brief utterance yesterday
at the banquet of the First Dragoon Guards
in celebration of the anniversary of the
battle of Mars La Tour, in which the regi
ment distinguished itself by a brilliant
charge. '
Alter Prince Albrecht had proposed the
health of the Queen of England as honorary
chiet of the regiment, the Emperor, drink
ing to the regiment, said that if fortune
called the German armv to operate on the
same field, he was sure of victories.
The Emperor and Empress remain at
Bayreuth until Tuesday. To-day they
he?rd "Der Meistersinger," and to-morrow
they will attend the performance of "Parsi
fal. Count von Waldersee and General
Du Vernois trill accompany Their Majes
ties to Strasburg. Prince von Hobenlohe,
the Governor ot Alsace-Lorraine, is prepar
ing to give his imperial visitors a grand re
ception. The students and Alsatian peas
ant girls will participate, and 20 burgo
masters from the chief towns of Alsace
Lorraine will be present.
A LIVELY PROGRAMME.
A reception will be held in the palace on
Wednesday. This will be followed by a re
view, a state dinner, municipal ietes and il
luminations. A hearty and spontaneous
welcome is certain in Strasburg, which is
now Germanized. French is rapidly fading
out. The imperial party is timed to reach
Metz on August 23.
The Czar's advent is still doubtful. The
Emperor will remain in Berlin until Sep
tember S. The Czar may postpone his visit
until returning from Copenhagen. Confu
sion has arisen from the changes in the
Czar's humors, and the Emperor's pro
gramme has been settled, irrespective of the
Czar's programme.
The papers generally approve the con
demnation of General Boulauger. The Post
denies absolutely the Boulanger statement
that he obtained a list of German spies from
the German embassy, and says that such a
list was never kept at the embassy.

DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.
Secretary Windom Writes a Letter Con
corning Oar Mexican Relations.
Washington, August 17. Secretary
Windom has addressed the following letter
in relation to discriminating duties against
Mexican cargoes to William H. T. Hughes,
of New York City:
Teeasurt Department, August 15, 1889.
Sib I am in receipt of your letter, dated the
11th Inst, and a newspaper slip criticising tho
action of this department in assessing dis
criminating duties upon cargoes of Mexican
vessels. In your letter of the 12th inst relat
ing to the matter and jn newspaper articles
the collection of the dues is erroneously re
ferred to as a retaliatory measure. Although
the regulations of Mexico now discriminate
quite severely against American sailing vessels
by imposing discriminating taxes, there has
been no attempt at retaliation on the part of
this Government The duties levied are the
ordinary discriminating duties prescribed by
the Revised Statutes of the United States,
which are imposed without regard to the dis
criminations made by Mexico.,
No treaty or law of Congress entitles goods,
wares or merchandise imported in Mexican
vessels to exemption from duties imposed by
the section, and the action of the Collector of
Customs at New Orleans, of which you' com
plain, was strictly in accordance with
law. Any relief in the premises must
come from Congress or through the treaty
making power. This department is not
authorized to remit dutiosof this character,
which accrue recularly under the laws. It
may be observed that if Mexico can satisfy the
President that no discriminating duties of ton
napo or import are levied in the ports of
Mexico upon vessels belonging to citizens of
the United States or merchandize imported
in tho same the discriminating duties imposed
under the section cited can be suspended by
proclamation.
AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS.
A Telegraph Operator Has Patented a Most
Valuable Inrcntlsn.
Kansas City, August 17. The Hatch
lock, an invention of A. A Hatch, of this
city, formerly a telegraph operator wjth the
Western Union Company, has been patented
and a company with $2,000,000 stock
has been formed in Kansas City and
New York to place the patent. The inven
tion is an apparatus to be used in telegraphy,
by means of which all connection with a
telegraph wire can be cut off at all inter
mediate points between the sender and re
ceiver. The patent is equally applicable to
the telephone wires and their connections.
The invention has been in use on the St.
Louis, Ft Scott and Memphis Bailway for
sometime, and has worked successfully. A
test was made a week ago before the New
York members of the company in New
York, and representatives from many differ
ent railroad and telegraph companies, all of
whom pronounced it an unqualified success.

Sax Fbancisco, August 17. Deputy
Marshal Nagle, who shot and killed David
S. Terry at Lathrop last Wednesday, was
removed from jail at Stockton by Sheriff
Cunningham an 'hour before daylight
this morning and brought to this city
in a special train. This proceeding
was based upon a writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Sawyer, of the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, directing
Sheriff Cunningham to produce Nagle in
the Circuit Court at 11 o'clock this morn
ing. Nagle was taken from Stockton jail
at an early hour in order to avoid the ex
citement which his removal during the day
might have occasioned.
' JL great number of persons were present
In the Circuit Court room this morning
when Nagle appeared. Attorney Maguire
introduced District Attorney White, of San
Joaquin county, and said they -appeared
conjointly to oppose the release of
Nagle by the Federal authorities. The
attorney, after reading papers connected
with the proceedings, entered a general pro
test to the order of the court,claiming that
it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal
courts to take from the custody of a State
official a person who had been arrested for
the commission of a crime within the State's
jurisdiction and against the State laws.
"If the Court please," slid Attorney
Maguire, "we desire formally to protest
against any requirements of this Court to
the Sheriff of San Joaquin county to bring
a person held under State authority into
this court on a, writ of habeas corpus. The
prisoner has, however, been brought into
court out of deference to the Court by the
Sheriff, and the Sheriff presents his re
turns to the writ" The attorney then
proceeded to read the written return, and
added: "We shall take the position on be
half of the people of the State of California
that Mr. Nagle is in the custody of tho
State authorities and the Federal courts
have no jurisdiction to take a prisoner from
the custody of State officials. That objec

which we are not at present prepared to ar

very important question. The claim on the
part of the prisoner is that the acts com

of duty under the laws of the United States,
and by reason of that he has been

TJntrne, and Explains.
Alderman David Doughty, of the Six
teenth ward, returned from Conneaut Lake
yesterday. He went at once to Alderman
Hyndman's office, in East Liberty, and
gave bail for a hearing on'August 26 in the
sum of $1,500 to answer a charge of con
spiracy, preferred against him by Police In
spector Whitehouse. Bail was furnished
by President W. W. Young, of the Law
rence Bank.
Alderman Donehty was last night inter
viewed in regard to the approaching case,
and declared the statement that he had
left town on account of the recent sensa
tional evidence in the Bander Agency case,
and his own alleeed complicity, to "be en
tirely without foundation. "I went to Con
neaut Lake," he said, "with my family, ac
companying the Knights ot St George.
That was the day before the arrests were
made. I knew nothing of the trouble until
Thursday, and then prepared to leave Con
neaut Lake. When I reached town I learned
of the warrant for my arrest, and went to
Hyndman's office."
The Alderman refused to say anything in
regard to the specific charges preferred
against him, but said that Bender's evi
dence in the recent hearing of the Bauder
case was totally false, and prompted
throughout by malice. Alderman Doughty
will be defended by Attorneys T. S. Parker

Callen's case has been postponed until
August 26, so as to run at the same time as
that of Alderman Doughty. .

Allegheny Citizens Complain Abontthe Bad
Condition of East Ohio Street.
Several complaints have been made to
Mayor Pearson within the past few days
about the condition of East Ohio street The
street is unpaved, and it is so full of ruts
and holes that it is almost impassable 'in
some places. Allegheny City Councils have
attempted to get the West Penn Bailroad to
pay part of the expense cf paving the street,
as part of it is on railroad property. Thus
far the attempt has been a failure:
A sub-committdS on streets has examined
the street and it is estimated that $1,000
will put it in good shape, but $500 will make
it a passable thoroughfare. A special meet
ing of the entire committee is likely to be
called this week to instruct the Boad Com

A shooting affray near midnight at Brad
dock will probably cost John Mclnally his
life. One of several Hungarians did it
They all fled. Avengers were, at an early
hour this morning, in hot pursuit.
John Mclnally, an unmarried man, 25
years of age, received a bullet wound in, his
stomach in Braddock, at 11 o'clock last
night, that will result fatally. His assail
ant was a Hungarian, unknown to him or
any ot his friends.
The row occurred on Bailroad street, a few
steps below Thirteenth, near Patrick Bren
nan's liquor store. It appears that Mc
lnally, who is in the employ of the steel
works, had had a dispute with a
Hungarian a few days since. Last
night Mclnally and a crowd of his
friends espied this man in or near Bren
nan's liquor store. With him were a
number of friends. If As they were leaving
the place .Matthew Mclnally, a younger
brother of the injured man, rushed in and
struck one of the Hungarians a blow in the
face. Simultaneously there was a shot fired
and John Mclnally threw up his hands and
fell faint to the sidewalk, his lifeblood
oozing from a wound in the stomach. The
Hungarians broke for liberty, not one of
their number having been heard of since.
Drs. A. W. Schooley and E. S. Stewart
were summoned and made an examination
and gave it as their opinion that there was
very little hope for Mclnally. If it hadn't
injured the intestines, or peritonitis shouldn't
set in, there was a possibility of his pulling
through. The ball entered on the left side.
The ball was probed for, but could not be
located.
Squire L. F. Holtzman took the dying
man s deposition, and the deponent said he
did not know any of the Hungarians' names,
cor could he tell which one of the number
fired the shot
Mclnally, as this report closed, was in a
weakened condition, and it was not probable
that he would survive through the night
Crowds of friends of Mclnally's were scour
ing the neighborhood last night in search of
the Huns. It was said they had provided
themselves with ropes, and should any of
the Huns be caught, Judge Lynch was ex
pected to preside. "
AGAINST C0MPUL80RT EDUCATION.
Important Discussion by Maryland German
Evangelical Lutherans.
BAZ.TIUOBE, August 17. At this after
noon's session of the Maryland Synod of the
German Evangelical Lutheran Church
General President Schwan made a speech
treating on the prineiples adopted by the1
Evangelical Synod of Wisconsin, with re
gard to the Bennett and Blair educational
bills. These prineiples denounce compul
sory education in public schools as un
constitutional. It was the feeling of the
Missouri Synod that these principles
were rightj and many motions were
made, amended, retracted, etc, to give
them a strong indorsement The German
Lutherans have parochial schools of their
own. They say that they need them to keep
up the membership of tnesr denomination,
and that one cannot be'a German Lutheran
without having been educated in a German
Lutheran school. So, tbey have their own
teachers and system, and claim to accom
plish as good results, educationally, as do
the public schools or private institutions of
learning. They protest that it is the right
of the parents to decide where and how
their children shall be educated, and that
the Government shall not Interfere with
that natural right unless the parents
neglect their children'seducation. In their
schools, they say, they place English on the
same tooting as German. They have no
wish, and make no attempt, to remain Ger
man, or to form and preserve German ideas
in America. They want to make their
children as good and well brought up
Americans as any, but they demand the
right to do it their own way, and not have
Linvone tell them how or in what sort of
sVhools this result is to be accomplished.

side of Eighth avenue, just above Thirtieth
street, a line of eight or nine Brush electrio
light wires runs through several ailantus
trees growing along the curb. The top
of one of these trees was killed
some time ago by being set on fire by
the current that leaked from one of the
wires. About 8 o'clock to-night Polioeman
Maginley saw thejjdead branches again
ablaze. He telephoned to the Brush sta
tion for a lineman, and Patrick Driscoll
and an assistant were sent round.
Driscoll had no gloves, and the police
man advised him not to fool with the wires
without them. He laughed at the caution,
and climbed up the tree, fixing himself in
the lower branches and using a small rope
to fling over and break off the branches that
touched the wires. As he did this, stray
flashes of electricity darted about his hand,
framing it in fire. Maginley was scared,
and called to him to come down, but he
paid no attention.
A few moments later the policeman heard
a cry, and. looking up, saw Driscoll lying
on his back, upon a number of wires, with
both hands reaching up and grasping an
other wire. Maginley ran to the nearest
box and sent ont a fire alarm, to get a lad
der. When he got back to the tree a
crowd of peoplewere shaking it as hard as they
could, trying to shake down the lineman.
Not seeing the wisdom of adding a broken
neck to the injuries that Driscoll had already
received, the policeman drove the crowd
back and told them to leave the tree alone
until the firemen came.
a Driscoll's assistant climbed the tree, and.
sitting on a branch, keot hold of Driscoll
to see that he didn't fall. The lineman was
apparently dead. He had not moved or
spoken since he received the first shock.
When the truck came the firemen pulled him
out from among the wires in short order,
and by the time they had him on the ground
he was conscious. He was taken at once to
his home, at 400 West Thirty-first street,
and the doctor soon reported that he was do
ing prettv well for a man who had spent 15
minutes In close communion with live elec
tric light wires. His worst injuries were on
his hands and forearm, which were burned
to the bone. His hands may be permanently
crippled.
It is said that these wires have been pre
viously reported by the police as dangerous,
and that not long ago a wandering current
from them burned the awning of the store
at 407 Eighth avenue, next door to where
the trouble was to-night
THE WOES OF THE ICE MAN.
A Soilness That Does Him Up In a Single
Season.
"Say, you fellows have a soft snap, don't
yon? No trouble to keep cool in an ice
cart! he, he!"
And a fat and perspiring citizen looked
enviously at the cool and dripping interior
of a perambulating conveyor of congealed
water.
The ice man was tugging away at a 250
pound chunk that refused to be coaxed into
a proper position. He looked up, warm and
indignant.
"That's all you know about it If you
think it's such a snap you'd better try the
job yourself. You would have no use for
anti-fat after you'd been at it a month."
The fat citizen looked surprised and in
terested. "Did you ever notice that you seldom
see the same iceman longer than one sea
son? Never noticed It? Well, it's a fact.
The reason for it? The work breaks the
men up. That's the reason. They are big
and strong and healthy at first but when
they return home they don't have so muoh
fun as they used to have. Tbey get pretty
badly broken up from rheumatism. If you
have noticed it, you never see icemen wear
either coat or vest They wear old clothes
and'tremendonsly heavy shoes. They get
into a feverish perspiration at least halt a
dozen times in the course of a day. Then,
to cool off. they sit in the wagon with their
backs to the ice. You can imagine the re
sult Talk about training. Why if John
L. Sullivan was to go on an ice cart for
two weeks, he would lose more flesh than
Mr. Muldoon could pull offof him in two
years."
GEORGIA SNAEE FACTORIES.
Where Genulno,Kepllles Are Manufactured
la Large Quantities.
A new industry, or an old one newly re
vived, is being carried on in Cherokee
county, Georgia. Nothing more or less
than a snake manufactory. Mr. H. H.
McEntyre gave impetus to the industry by
reintroducing the modus operandi in the
presence of a Cherokee Advance reporter.
Some days ago Mr. McEntyre's children
threw several horse hairs in an eddy place in
the branch, and afterward put them in cans
partially filled with water, where they re
mained a few days. On pouring them out
it was found that the horse hairs of a few
days before were perfectly lormed wriggling
snatces. They wonld squirm around on' the
ground, anxious, it would appear, to get
away from their captors, but seemed con
fined by some invisible power to the spot
where they were thrown.
The snakes were ugly creatures. They
had keen, tapering tails, were larger around
the body than elsewhere and a kind of a
knot supplied the head. There is even the
suggestion of a mouth and eyes in the knot
that forms the head, and every action of the
snake is possessed by the manufactured'ar
ticle. They are about as large around the
body as a pencil and when spread out upon
a table they will wriggle around and slide
off.
Yon can find these snakes everywhere in
Cherokee county now. One gentleman has
a big branch full of them in all stages of
growth. They are slimy, ugly and horribly
suggestive affairs.
A LONDON CABBI'S ENGLISH.
He Knew His Dnoiness But Was Not
Familiar With American Pronunciation.
'Washington rferald.l
One does not expect to speak his mother
tongue in the highways and byways of
Paris, Berlin, or Vienna, but in London
one hopes at least to be understood, as is
often not the case. A Washingtonian doing
the sights ot this English capital ordered
his cabman to drive to the Alhambra.
"Where is it, sir?" asked the cabby.
"Well, my man, that's what I don't
know and what you ought to know if you
pretend to know your business."
Poor cabby was nonplussed, and asserted
with evident mortification that though he
iad made his living as a London cabman
since boyhood he had never heard of such a
place as the Alhambra.
"Why," said the much disgusted Ameri
can, "it's a place where- they have music
and dancing and plenty to drink."
"Oh! it's the Helumbria you mean, sir." v
And with a sarcastio smile on his face at
the pronunciation of his American cousin
he drove to the place in question.
FOR FALSE PRETENSES.,
AFIttsbarg Detective Makes-nn Important
Arrest In Now York.
Lockpokt, N. Y., August 17. A Pitts
burg detective-has been here looking for a
man named George S. Pugsley, who is
charged with obtaining three blooded
horses from a banker of that city, under

waiting for the Court, and the Court waited
to hear if anything more was to be said.
There was a stir in the audience when the
silence was broken by Sullivan himself.
The champion turned up before the bar,
and, speaking in a loud, clear and steady
voice, said: "Your Honor, I desire to make a
few remarks. I can only ask for your clem
ency in this matter. No doubt I have dona
something wrong, but, as my counsel told
you, I was ignorant of the law. I am not
as oratorical as the distinguished District
Attorney on my right, or my counsel, who
have addressed you, and, therefore, I beg to
remark that I am your humble servant,
John L. Sullivan."
AWAITING HI3 BOOM.
Sullivan sat down and looted at the
Court, waiting his doom. There was an
other pause; the silence was so deep that an
occasional whisper was heard as distinctly
as an uproar in the dead of night The
Judge, after a moment or two, asked for the
petition presented by General Ford. It was
au appeal lor mercy, and the fact that the
Conrt asked for. it was construed as a good
omen.
After a few minutes' inspection he folded
the paper carefully, laid it on the table,
shaded his eyes with his hand and his brow
wrinkled -as it meditating deeply. Every
eye was fixed upon him. Even Sullivan
leaned forward and watched the Judge
anxiously. He broke the silence by saying
in his quiet way; "Stand up, Sullivan?"
The Court did not say Mr. Sullivan this
time. Sullivan stood up quickly. He
threw out his chest, looked the Court full in
the face,iand had evidently determined upon
perfect self-control. Jndge Terrell spoke
slowly, as follows:
Gentlemen, passing sentence has always been
of considerable trouble and concern to me,
even in small cases, except where the law has
one absolute punishment It seems to me that
this prize fight at Bichburg. of which you stand
convicted, was
A GBOS3 AFFBONT
to the laws of the State, where the authorities
personally forbade it It seems to have been
accomplished with systematic arrangement
and in the presence of invited thousands. It
seems on the part of all connected in it to have
been a studied disregard and con
tempt for the law. They came
from and through many States whose
authority and civilization deterred them from
any attempt at such public lawless conduct
within their limit, and thev chose the State of
Mississippi as the only fit ground for such
combat indicating their utter contempt for
the sentiments of ner people and the laws of
her statute books.
Judge Terrell, whose eyes had been
averted as if meditating as he spoke, now
looked up and met Sullivan's gaze. He
continued: "The sentence of the law is
that as a punishment for the offense for
which you stand convicted, you shall suffer
imprisonment for 12 months in the county
Jail." .
Sullivan gloomily took his seat None of
his friends spoke to him then it was best
to leave him to his own reflections. He
maintained his stolid look for a moment,
but when attention was drawn from him
his mouth put on the same appearance as
when he met Kilrain in the ring, with lit
tle of sorrow tempering the ferocity.
STILL SMILING.
The feeling passed from him in another
moment, and when he got under the railing
to leave the court room, he faced the sympa
thizing crowd with a broad smile.
"Stand up, Mr. Fitzpatrick," said Judge
Terrell, in a kindly tone.
Mr. Fitzpatrick took his place at the bar.
"Mr. Fitzpatrick," said the Judge, "in
view of all that has been said in your be
half, and'which I am disposed to believe is
true, yon appear to be a gentleman who was
only present at the fight as a spectator, and
one who did not intend to violate the law.
In view of the statements in your behalf, I
sentence you"to pay a fine of $200."
Captain Fitzpatrick bowed and thanked
the Court, but sat down without having
heard the amount of the fine. The reporters
informed him, and he left the court to make
arrangements for the paying of it, but the
Court was not yet through with Mr. Fitz
patrick. as will appear later on. District At
torney Neville said that he was anxious
to go home to-day, and asked that no more
coses be tried until next week. This was
consented to, and the agreement to allow 60
days to file bills of -exceptions was put on
record, and Judge Calhoun then made the
motion for an appeal, retnrnable to the Su
preme Court on the third Monday in Febru
ary, 1890.
STILL OUT OK BAIL.
Judge Calhoun stated that section 2329 of
the code, for an appeal of misdemeanors,
fixed the bond from $100 to $1,000.
The defense had prepared a bond for
the maximum amount and presented
it J. W. Holleman, of Purvis,
and John Duffy were the bondsmen.
District Attorney Neville announced the
reception ot informltipn of Jake Kilrain's
arrival here early next week, and asked the
clerk to issue a subpoena for Captain Fitz
patrick as a witness in the Kilrain case, and
also against Bud Benaud, and he wanted
the summons served before the witnesses
left the State.
When Mr. Fitzpatrick came in he was
informed that he was wanted and would be
required to furnish a bond of $500 to appear
when wanted. The ex-referee put on as
pleasant a face as possible over the new
position, for he will have to leave home and
bnsiness again. Colonel J. B. Denison, of
Hattiesburg, became his surety. The petit
jurors crowded around the clerk and were
paid off, and the court stood adjourned un
til Monday morning.
A TELP TO CAMJA.
It Is Terr Probable That Jake Kllrnln Will
Not htnnd Trial The Prospect of a
Year In a Southern Prison
Does Not Charm Him. t
tSFECIAL TELZCBAM TO TUX PISFATCB.1
BaltiMoee, August 17. Jake Kilrain
says he will go to Mississippi and stand
trial, notwithstanding the Sullivan verdict,
but the impression prevails here that Jake
will do nothing of the kind. He has until
Thursday to make up his mind, and in that
time he can easily make his
way across ,the border into Can
ada. He had a long consultation
with his counsel, Joseph Whyte, with refer-J
ence to tne oest course to De pursued, isj
leaving here he has everything to gain and
nothing to lose, as even his bondsmen is
comparatively safe. The law as to the col
lection of a bond of a surety is so faulty in
this State that unless a bondsman himself
gives up the money there is no way of mak
ing him.
FrouTthia it will be seen that no matter
how large it may be the paroled prisoner
need have no fear of confiscation. It is
therefore not at all likely that Jake will
miss the opportunity of making his escape.
A vear in a Southern prison is not at all to
his liking. Detective Cbilds, of Mississippi,
reached here to-day, and at once reported to
Marshal Frey.1
. "I am Detective Childs, from Mississippi,
and I've come for Jake Kilrain, "he said in
way of introduction.
"Glad to meet you, but I'm afraid you
will have to wait awhile for Jake, for he is
out on bail, not returnable until Thursday,"
responded the Marshal.
Mr. Childs sighed and looked serious.
However, he accepted the marshal's invi
tation to sit down and waited patiently for
developments., A half hour later the mar
shal escorted him to the office of State's
Attorney Kerr. There a three-handed con
ference, was. held, which lasted but a few
minutes. The State's Attorney said that
nothing could, be done till Lawyer Joseph
Whyte, counsel for Kilrain, bad been noti
fied. The State's Attorney sent a messenger
boy to Mr. Whyte's office. The boy re
turned with, the announcement that Mr.
Whyte was out of the city and was
not expected back until Monday. Then Mr.
Childs and the Marshal bid the State's At

van eave bond for $1,000 for his appearance
and$500 costs. He left Purvis at 637 P. M.,
accompanied by his faithful friend Clune.
There was a large crowd at the depot, who
bade him good-by. Benaud and Adams ac
companied! Sullivan and Mr. Clune to
this point. On the train Sullivan
had but little to say, and behaved
well, although a little jolly when the
train passed Bjchburg. Charlie Rich was
at the depot with a large concourse of peo
ple. Bonfires were lit and cheers were
given to the champion. Sullivan expressed
his appreciation of the kindness of the
Purvis people, but knew from the start that
the court was against him. He hopes Kil
rain will be successful in his attempt to
avoid coming here througha writ of habeas
corpus. The only part of his defense he did
not like was the statement made in his
behalf that. Kilrain was the challenging
party and had selected the battle ground, as
he would not prejudice his case.
Sullivan thinks his sentence a little
severe after having willingly placed him
self in the hands of the law. He could
have crossed the ocean until his pursuit was
ended. Sullivan signed an indemnity bond
before he left Purvis so as to protect his
sureties should anything happen. At
Meridian a large crowd had assembled at
the depot and cheered the champion.
HIS FRIENDS AFRAID
That a Year In Jail Would Ruin the Cham
pion's Health.
New Yobk, August 17. The statement
that Champion John L. Sullivan had been
sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment in
Mississippi lor prize fighting caused a good
deal of excitement among the sporting fra
ternity of this city. It is the general opin
ion that if Sullivan be compelled to serve
12 months in that climate, his health will
be so impaired that he will never regain his
present form of strength.

New Yoek, August 17. A. B. Brown,
a yonng married man who lives in the
handsome house, 659 Hancock street, Brook
lyn, sent his family into the country two
weeks ago and remained at home, keeping
bachelor's halL A few minutes before
6 o'clock this afternoon he opened the
outer frunt door, and to his astonishment
saw two well-dressed young men on the
grass, one of whom was evidently injured.
They were strangers, evidently burglars,
whom he bad interrupted at their work,
and who had leaped from the second-story
window in an effort to escape arrest
Mr. Brown went into the yard and spoke
to them. He found them very agreeable
young men. "Would you be kind enough
to help me get my friend over the fence?"
asked the engaging young burglar who
was not hurt Mr. Brown is naturally obli
ging, and as it was evident that one of the
burglars at least was in no condition to
escape, he did as he was asked. The injnred
man was carefully lifted over into a vacant
lot in the rear, and as carefully assisted
by Mr. Brown and the burglar to a drug
store. "If you'll overlook this," was the sound
thief s proposition, "we'll make it all right
with you. The injnred man's companion
thought his friend needed brandy, and with
out waiting to be told that the druggist had
some, hurried out ot the store in quest of the
liquor, as he explained. He did not return.
A message was sent over the druggist's tel
ephone for an ambnlauce, and Operator
Mollow, at police headquarters, who re
ceived the dispatch, told the police of the
Gates avenue station to send their patrol
wagon.
The injured burglar said he was Frank
Hart, aged 19, of 411 Gates avenue. Hart
refuses to say anything about his Compan
ion. The house had been thoroughly ran
sacked, but nothing had been removed.
HOOKING A WATCH.
How
Boston Lady Performed the Feat
Without Knowing It.
Boston Courier.!
A lady who was hurrying to catch a train
had an awkward experience the other day,
and it was made the more awkward by the
fact that the papers had that morning con
tained an account of a man's being robbed
of his watch in broad daylight on a Boston
street
She was walking as rapidly as possible
along one of the streets near the station,
carrying on her arm a coat of which the
fastenings were absurdly large hooks, when
suddenly she found herself brought np with
a jerk. She realized that the cloak had
caught upon the garments of a passer, but as
it seemed to free itself she hurried on, des
perately bound to catch her train or to
pensh in the attempt, whenVshe became
aware that a man was calling to her to stop.
She stopped quite as much from surprise as
for any notion that he could have a legiti
mate ground for speaking, and a gentleman
whom she had just passed came hurrying up
to her.
"You have my watch," he said excitedly.
The lady simple stared at him in sur
prise and stupefaction, while the gentle
man, beginning to laugh, proceeded to dis
engage from the hook of her coat a gold
watch and chain which she had unconsci
ously accumulated in passing. The situa
tion was one which easily might have been
attended by painful consequences that it
was some time before she could appreciate
that it was very droll, but she now declares
that she intends to patent this device for
picking pockets.
HELEN HUNTS LONELY GRATE.
A Canyon In tho Rockies the Last Besting
Place of the Gifted Poetess.
Mmltou Letter In Washington Herald. 1
Cheyenne Canyon, amid whose scenes of
sombre beauty rests forever the kind heart
and brilliant mind of Helen Hunt Jackson,
is distant about ten miles from Manitou.
The drive is a pleasant one, and vigorous
people needing exercise find it a delightful
walk. The grave of "H. H." is near the
beautiful Seven Falls, and -the slnmberous
viice of the water adds a last element of
tender melancholy to the scene.
No one but a poet whese soul was attuned
beyond the possibility of change to the
plaintive minor keys of nature's music could
have chosen such a grave. Here in life
came to her soul the inspiration of many ot
the poems in verse and prose which en
deared her to thousands of true-hearted
people.

Kichmond, Tex., August 17. An oldl
race quarrel has broken out here again, and
the streets have been delnged with blood.
The "Jaybirds" is the name given to tha
white Democrats of Fort Bend, numbering
about 400. The "Woodpeckers" include
negroes and a few whites. The negroes are
greatly in the ascendant
Last evening Judge J. W. Parker met
Volney and Grif Gibson, and immediately
opened fire upon them. The fire was re
turned by the Gibsons. Parker was wounded
and at once ran in the direction of the
Conrt House, closely followed by Grif Gib
son. When Parker reached the Court Housa
he was joined by more officers and a general
fight ensued, In which J. Blakeney and
Sheriff Garvey were killed. H. H. Frost,
Yolney Gibson and William Andrews were
wounded. Gibson's and Andrews' injuries
are not fatal. M. Schmidt, a Texas Banger,
was wounded slightly in the leg, and a lit
tie negro girl was killed by a wild bullet
LULL AFTER THE STOHM.
Since the fighting last evening in the
streets here, things have been supremely
quiet It is the lull after the storm and has
lasted a whole dav and night The county
officials who are among the "Woodpeckers"
retreated to the Court House, carrying their -wounded',
and still occupy it, supported by
the Houston Light Guard, who arrived here
this morning, 25 strong.
The wounded in the Court Honse are
Judge J. W. Parker, now a member or the
Legislature, and Deputy Sheriff Mason,shot
badly through the shoulder. One hall
entered beneath the shoulder blade of
Judge Parker and another through the
groin. The latter is the most dangerous
wound. The bodies of Sheriff James Garvey
and ex-Sheriff Blakely are still being held,
there being no proper officer to hold an in
quest The presence of the military will
preserve the peace, hut the "Jaybirds" are
in possession of the streets and no warrant
has been sworn out or arrest made.
Henry Frost, a leader of the "Jaybirds,"
who also was shot down on the streets last
night with four bullet wounds, is fast sink
ing, and the doctors havo despaired of his
life. He was wavlaid some months ago
and shot in the back with a load of buck
shot, but recovered with the laming of one
of his arms.
KEADT FOB ACTIOS-.
The "Jsybirds" are undoubtedly pre
pared for trouble at any moment, while the
opposition has materially weakened by the
loss of two of their leaders. There is a
panic among the people here, chiefly the
negroes, and nearly a hundred have left by
rail to-day, never to return. It has fright
ened them badly.
Volney Johnson, one of the "Jaybirds"
who led the fighting yesterday, was shot in
the jaw with a Winchester rifle and the
ball is now somewhere in his necfc, but ha-
is walking on the streets this afternoon,
ready for anything that may arise.
A distressing feature is the arrival here of
relatives ot parties who have been killed or
badly wounded. A squad of Begular State
Bangers was here yesterday, but were
powerless to check the fight, though tbey
made everv effort to do so. One of their
number, Private Smith, was shot through
the thigh. It is said that Henry Frost.
"Jaybird," after he was shot down, raised
himself on bis arms and killed ex-Sheriff
Blakely with his Winchester. Governor
Boss is expected here.
