H. Ward, near here, Sunday morning, has re- sulted in the death of both the prin- cipals. Gallagher lay in an uncon- } scious state until last night, when be died. Ward died two hours later. The battle, which has had such a ter- rible termination—the first instance on record where both the principals | in a prize fight were killed—was the ! result of adispute between the men | over a trifling debt due Gallagher on a house he had built for Ward. Bad blood was engendered, and it was decided to settle the matter by atist fight, under ring rules. A sporting resort two miles from town was selected as the place for the meeting, and Sunday a number of sports collected there to witness the mill., Neither of the men were trained sparrers, but it was evident from the start that it was to bea fight to the finish. They fought like tigers, raining terrible blows upon each other, and both were soon covered with blood and their faces Dockery’s Tariff Bill. Washington, D. C..

It also makes a corresponding reduction on all the manufactures of wool, including woolen and worsted clothes, ready made clothing, flannels, blankets, knit goods and other articles in daily use among the people. In lieu of existing duties 35 per cent. is fixed as the rate on all woolen manufac tured goods—a reduction of about one half of the present duty. Mr. Dockery also introduced a bill re- NAPOLEON'S BRIG. Discovery of the Wreck of the Vessel That | Took Him From Elba. i On the steamer Eureka, which are rived from the southern coast recent- ly were two passengers from Monterey named George Baker and John Roach. Both are divers. and the story of their latest exploit in Monterey is, if true, strange indeed: The men left here in the schooner Rose Sparks to work on the wreck of the Ventura, which went ashore some months ago near Point Sur, a distance of about twenty-six miles below Monterey. They put into Monterey to get a suppiy of powder, and while anchored in the bay the dis- covery was accidentally made that they were just over the wreck of some vessel. Baker and Roach donned their diving suits, and were at first little gratified at their discovery, thera be- ing but little left of the vessel to ex- plore. They kept digging away at the re- mains, however, and soon had the sat- isfaction of seeing considerabie copper and iron piled up on the deck of the Rose Sparks. When the news of find- ing the wreck spread to the town of Monterey boats of nearly every de- scription put off to the schooner, and the men were surroun by French- men of all s und :s, who had lived in Monterey for years, and many of whom remembered the _ vessel well. was a brigantine, they . and went into pert on fire in 1834. All hands aban- doned her, the Frenchman said, and were fortunate enough to escape. What made the wreck precious in the eyes of the natives of France, they said, was the fact that. although when lost she was sailing under the Mexican flag, she was in reality the vessel which bore Napoleon from his exile on the Isle of Elba to France. The vessel on which the Emperor and his friends sailed from Elba was a brig and was cailed the Inconstant. Be this as it may, nothing can shake the faith of the old residents of Mon- terey from the belief that the Natalia Those who were rich enough to purchase small bits of copper and iron from Baker did 60, and others begged so hard that they were given small specimens, which they carried away in delight and will no doubt treasure as relics of the once loved and great Emperor. ‘hey account for the change of name by the fact that the vessel was sold to the Mexican Goverument.—San Fran- cisco Chronicle. ———— REMARKABLE PROBITY. A Daughter's Tender Tribute of Respect to Her Father's Memory. In February, 1881, Patrick Hogan, shoe manufacturer, of Newark, N. J., A MODERN SAMSON. € Astonishi: ing Feats of Strength Performed By w Young Alsatian. There are many Delilahs, but only one Samson, and he is performing at the Royal Aquarium, where his feats of strength are certainly of an original and marvelous character. The speo tator as he watches feels that it is better to be friendly with such a man; with a blow of his fist he breaks an iron chain that will bear a pressure of HEADQUARTERS FOR FLOLIDAY Goovs, 8,000 pounds. With his two hands grasping a short chain of 2,000 pounds ascertained pressure, he makes a Momentary effort and pulls the iron chain to bits, and in what seems the most wonderful fact—namely, fasten- ing two tight iron chain bracelets or armlets round his biceps—the specta- tor may view the process from begin- ing toend. One hears the strong man take a long breath, sees the muscles of his arms growing bigger and big- ger, the chords of his neck swelling with the sustained effort, his face crimsoning, and then, in the silence, those nearest the sieve can hear a curious little sundering sndp7 it is the double chain armiet that has broken and that the next second falls ringing to the floor. When Samson's fist is clenched, and he is ready to strike, the measurement of his upper arm round biceps and triceps is 19} inches, which, we may casually remark, is considered a tolerable waist fora young lady. Among some of his minor feats—if such displays can be called minor— Samson took a penny piece from one of the audience and at one trial bent it with his fingers as one may bend a railway ticket, heid it up to view for a second and then deliber- ately broke it in half and re- turned the pieces to the owner. A very little practice will convince ama- ceurs of the hopelessness of breaking pennies with finger andthumb. The strong man next bent a four-foot iron gas-pipe around his neck, and cheer- fully straightened it again by repeated blows on his left arm, such arm being for the once a species of anvil. Four- teen men came upon the stage by invi- tation, to pull against him; but Sam- son, not deeming them enough, or siz- ing up their athletic capabilities with a professional eye, expressed a wish for four more. ‘These men he divided into nine a side, the two sides nearly the width of a man’s stretch apart, and each side being provided with and grasping a strong and lengthy iron rod. Before placing himself between them Samson stimulated their ardor by promising £100 to them if he failed to move them, and apparently there was a grateful determination on the men’s faces to win the pour-boire Then there was a short, sharp strug- headquarters.

In the forty-eighth round Gallagher’s left arm was bro- ken, but instead of weakening he re- newed the fight with greater fury. Tn the 105 rounds fought Ward was knocked down no less than ninety- eight times. In the ninety-eighth round Ward caught Gallagher off his guard and delivered a terrible right-hander under the chin, knock- ing him senseless. Before time was up, however, he was on his feet again, and, although in a half-dazed condition, he fought seven more rounds, receiving terrible punish- ment in each, until a well directed blow sent him into an unconscious state, from which he never awoke. Both men were beaten almost toa jelly and presented a horrible sight. It was thought that Ward would pull through all right until yester- » day, when all hope for his recovery was given up.

UNCLE SAM’S SNAKES. Something About the Man Who Has Them in Charge. Perhaps itis not generally known that this country has a National snake- charmer who is paid a good round sal- ary by the Government. But such is the fact. The charmer in question is Prof. A. Zeno Shindler, a bustling lit- tle German whose headquarters are in the National Museum. His principal duty is to make casts and drawings of all specimens of the snake family re- ceived by the museum authorities. Some of the snakes are received in al- cohol, but many of them are boxed up and sent here alive. The professor has a large wooden cage in his room in which there is a collection of dan- gerous and venomous reptiles. A num- ber of these he has succeeded in tam- ing, and he runs his hand in among them in a manner that caused cold chills to chase each other down my spinal column. Although he has been handling snakes for several years Prof. Shindler has only been bitten once. He had re- ceived a queer-looking little fellow Here We Are!

Being afraid that his snakeship might escape, ow- ing tothe smallness of its size, the professor decided to put it into a jar of alcohol and thus preserve it until he was ready to make a plaster cast. He seized the little striped reptile by the neck, as he had done ‘‘manya time, many a time” before, and dex- terously dropped him into the bottle. Upon touching the liquid the snake sprang suddenly upward and fastened his fangs in Shindler’s forefinger. The latter quickly seized a knife and cut the fangs loose, and then placing the finger in bis mouth, vigorously sucked as the poison while he made tracks to the nearest bar-room.
