MeMi Duffy and sailan Fight Seventeen MILLEN IS BADLY PUNISHED AND THE CONTEST 18 DECIDED ON A FOUL IN DUFFY'S FAVOR—A SCENE IN A BARN ON THE VIRGINIA SHORE—THE DEPARTURE FROM THIS CITY. The much talked of fight between Paddy Duffy, of Boston, and Wm. McMillan, of this city, took place at an early hour this morning, and was won by Duffy ona foul in the seven- teenth round, although he had decidedly the best of the fight up to that point, and probably would have won on his merits, About one hun- dred of the sporting fraternity, including many race people, were present. The fight took place in an old outbuilding on the Virginia shore, about fifteen miles from the city. Long before the time had arrived for starting from Washi n mysterious shadows flitted here and there among the boxes, barrels, and other freight piled on the Mary Washington wharf, and one or two straggling policemen passed, looked in inquiringly, and vanished, no doubt concluding that it would be best not to inter- fere. Atthe end of the wharf lay the small excursion steamer Cecile, which was to convey the party to the battle grounds. The boat left a little after 10 o'clock, and the trip down was uneventful, ON THE GROUNDS, Arriving at the grounds the party, headed by a lantern bearer, strode on through the darkness over a rocky road and across a stub- ble-field, to an old barn neerly half a mile away. A 16-foot ring was pitched in the mid- dle of the barn, Around this chairs, benches, tables, barrels, and other things to serve as seats for the spectators were placed. Circus lamps Corb onall sides, and the gathering assembled made a striking picture. Some time was lost in selecting a referee. Mr. Callahan, of Baltimore, was finally decided upon, and preparations for the fight commenced. It was announced that the purse of 2500, for which the men were to fight, was €150 short. A col- lection was taken up, and bgp 8 agreed to fight for what there was. This announce- ment brought forth cheers, as the crowd was getting uneasy lest the fight would not take place. The preliminary arrangements, such as placing the chairs for the principals and getting the bottles, sponges, and buckets ready for work having been made, the referee called out in a stentorian voice, “Bring on your fighters.” THE MEN APPEAR. Duffy was the first to appear. He wore blue tights and high laced heelless shoes, and looked confident. The betting, or rather an attempt at betting, commenced at even money against MeMillan with few takers. It took some time t ready, and when he did a ear, at 12:53 oeack, the crowd applaude: le wore white tights and shoes and was ap- | parently in excellent condition, although it was whispered that he ‘yas somewhat weak- ened by the Turkish baths he had been obliged to resort to to keep down his weight. Both men looked as if Tasy meant business, OPENING THE FIGHT. After a few remarks by the referee time was called and the men stepped quickly from their corners and began sparring for an opening. Duffy was the first to lead, and landed an easy one on MeMillan’s mouth, which was promptly countered, but the blow fell short. Duffy forced the fighting, andthe round finished without any hard exchange of blows, and slightly in Duffy's favor. Second round—This was a lively one, both men hitting hard. Duffy aimed a hot one at McMillan’s jugular, but it fell short, and be- fore he could retreat McMillan landed a stinger on his left eye, and put that member in mourn- in ra Third round—This round was even better than | the preceding one. The confident air of Duffy for atime disappeared. Twice the men clinched, and despite the referee’s command to break away, McMillan tripped Duffy and fell heavily upon him. Duffy looked scared when time was called, and went to his corner somewhat de- moralized. The fourth round was spirited; MeMillan, rushed again, but an upper cut stopped him and he clinched. Cries of “foul! foul!” from Duffy's friends were heard, A CHARGE OF “DRUGGING.” Fifth round—The betting had changed in favor of McMillan, but now there was a reac- tion, as Duffy's superior science was beginning to tell. It was in this round, it is charged, that an attempt was made to poison Duffy by drug- ging the drinking water. The referee, who ad drank some of the alleged “doctored” Water, got sick, but copes resumed his ae In the sixth round both men opened cau- tiously, and sparred for wind. Duffy got in some good blows, and sent McMillan to his cor- ner, when time was called, somewhat groggy. Itwas apparent that McMillan was overmatched. Several rounds follwed, Duffy still forcing the fighting, and striving apparently to knock his man out. In the eleventh round both opened MeMillan had slightly rallied from the effects of Duffy's terrific onslaught, but was plainly at the mercy of his adversary. Duffy's swinging right-handers were doing telling work. AN EXCITING ROUND. The fourteenth round proved to be the most exciting of the fight. Duffy led with his right and landed a blow on MeMillan’s nose, which he followed up with a terrific left-hander on the neck. McMillan went down amid the cries of “he’s gone.” McMillan, however, quickly rose, although Duffy’s friends believed he could nded the fight. As soon as Duffy would ” MeMillan would clinch and resort to butting. Cries of ‘foul! foul!” from all sides were heard, but the referee ordered the men to break away and fight. THE ‘‘WIND-UP.” The seventeenth round ended the fight. Duffy went in to finish his man, and blow after blow landed on MeMillan’s body. “He’s gone this time,” were the cries, McMillan, finding he didn’t have a chance to win, again tried his butting tactics, and the referee decided it a foul, and awarded the fight to Duffy amid great excitement. McMillan was put to bed a much used-up man, while Duffy dressed himself and came back to the city with the rest, little the worse for wear, and showing no marks of the fight excepting abont his hands and left eye, which latter almost closed. The entire re- pts were £363; of this amount $63 went to ‘illan, Duffy leaves to-day for Boston to sign articles for another fight. “Guilty of Manslaughter.” THE VERDICT IN THE CASE OF MOSES BRENT. The jury in the Criminal Court, in the case of Moses Brent, colored, indicted for the mur- der of Charles Parker on June 2d last, rendered a verdict this morning of “guilty of manslangh- ter.” The prisoner received the announce- ment without showing the least feeling. He was remanded for sentence. Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: Jackson Pumphrey to T. B. Pumphrey, rt 8, sq. 974; @—. Margaret Foster, P. H.

William Brown Dies of the Wound In- flicted by William Warren. THE TROUBLE OBIGINATED IN A GAME OF CRAP AND SUBSEQUENT DISPUTE ABOUT FIVE CENTS— WARREN IN CUSTODY. ‘Wm. Brown, the negro who was shot a week ago last Sunday bya companion named Wm. Warren, died in Freedman’s Hospital about 12 o'clock last night from the effects of his in- juries. The shooting occurred in the alley be- tween I and K and 24th and 25th streets north- west. Botn men livein Snow’s Row, in the alley, and were employed as car shovers at the gas works. Onthe morning of the shooting the men met in the alley and engaged ina game ofcrap on the dirt roadway. The “bones” were thrown several times. and Brown staked his last five cents on a ‘7—11" throw. His bad luck continued, and Warren won the “pot.” Brown then grabbed the money, as it was his last five cents, and refused to give it up to the winner. “You had better give me the money and act square,” said Warren. “You —— of a ——,” answered Brown, “I'll give you something better than five cents if you don’t go away.’ “Well,” said Warren, “I don’t want any trouble about the five cents,” and he walke: into the house, After remaini in the house nearly half an hour he returned to the alley where Brown was still waiting. Brown was under the'influence of liquor and renewed the quarrel. He advanced toward Warren with his hand in his pocket, and Warren, kaowing his character, drew his revolver and fired. The bullet entered his breast about one inch above the nipple. The wounded man fell to the pave- ment fatally wounded. He was attended by Dr. Searns, who ordered his removal to the was no doubt a fatal one, but everything possi- ble was done to tage his life. The police say that Warren always had an excéllent reputation for being a quiet and peaceable man. On the other hand Brown's reputation was anything but good. Four months ago the police say he cut Henry Smallwood’s throat with a knife. Smallwood did not desire to rosecute him and in the Police court he was ed $1. The witness, Smallwood, ‘id the fine with his, witness’ fee. Since that time Brown has slashed at a man named Jake Jack- son, but only cut his coat. After the shooting occurred Warren escaped and’ went to West Washington, where he was arrested by Officers Hurd and Keefe. Warren told the officers that he purchased the weapon to carry when he was employed as a lamp-lighter. He threw the weapon in the creek when he was crossing the bridge. The coroner has been notified. Sue Cavsep a SHOOTING AFFAIR AND 18 NOW x THE Work-House.—A colored girl named Mary Ellen Warren was sentenced to 60 days in the work-house by Judge Miller to-day on complaint of Officer Hurd, who charged her name was mentioned in connection with ‘the shooting of Richard Phillips by Frank Wallace in Hughes’ alley about three weeks ago, as published in Tu Srar at the time. Wallace was payin his attentions to Mary, and Phillips also called on her occasionally. “Wallace spoke to Phillips about paying visits to his girl. “That's my girl,” said Wallace, and “if you don’t stop going with her I'll kill you.” “He attempted to carry out his threat, but did not succeed. The bullet struck a rib of ae and glanced instead of going through his body. Wallace has since pleaded guilty to the charge, and is now in jail awaiting the action of the grand jury. ——-—_.

DETECTIVE PINKERTON GIVES HIS OPINION AS TO USING BLOODHOUNDS IN LONDON. From the New York Mail and Express, The action of the London detectives in training bloodhounds in order to find the perpetrators of the fiendish murders that have been committed in Whitechapel is being Using bloodhounds for detective work in large cities is a novel procedure, and whether they will be successful is a question of great doubt. Bob Pinkerton was seen re- cently and talked about the experiment. He said: “I am very doubtful whether the bloodhounds will be ‘successful in this case. ‘They are credited with powers greatly above those I think they possess. I don’t know ofa ease where they have been used in large cities. Onthe plains and in the South they have been used to track escaped slaves and stage and train robbers. When used to track slaves they have often been used with success, The reason for that was that the slaves used to run in the open country, and the hounds would always be put on their track soon after they had escaped. They usually ran in their bare feet and would leave a track through the grass and on the country on which they ran. Once, I remember, we used them to track train robbers in Texas. The men had traveled over ins and the hounds followed the track e for some time, The men were caught, but I think it was ag much due to the men as to the dogs. The dogs will always follow a track over country very easily, and when they lose it at the banks of a stream they will hunt about until the: find it again. If the track has been crosse much the dogs soon lose it. How they can be expected to find it and keep it in a crowded city like London I cannot understand. The action of the London detectives, you may be sure, is being watched very closely by detectives all over the world, and if they are successful with the their dogs they will probably come into more general use for running down assassins and thieves, Refé tothe London murders, Mr. Pinkerton 3 “T think that it is only a question of time when the murderer will be run down, It isa easy matter, to my -mind, for a man to commi a murder of the c ter of the London mur- ders. If aman just keeps to himself he can commit a murder in a crowded city and elude arrest forsome time. I think the murderer is insane. He has 4 mania for committing murder. Such cases are not common, but ly we hear of them. a toe , is an example of this mania.

The Attempt to Discredit the Loyalty of Levi P. Morton. Tae Stan yesterday mentioned the rumor that a sensational statement was to be made public questioning the loyalty of the repub- lican vice-presidential candidate. The follow- ing from the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Times shows that the bombshell has been exploded: “The attempt at this late day to discredit the loyalty of Levi P. Morton, the republican can- didate for the vice-presidency, like most cam- paign roorbacks, has proved as complete a fiasco as did the scheme to injure Cleveland through the mediumship of the British min- ister. Some of the morning newspapers indefi- nitely announced that a Gemoorstie bombshell might be expected this morning. In the batch of duplicate news matter given out early to- bo beta the Larcher of the democratic national commit = following: was one page containing ‘* ‘A Washington correspondent writes the fol- otha tice sen national ——— com- mit regarding the record of the vice-] - dential candidate of the republican Eset, Levi P. Morton, during the war: “I am in pos- session of information concerning Morton's record during the war. I am informed that, while he d as a Unionist in New York, it is susceptible of proof from the records in — of al be ere that he was Keng si engaged i goods from New oes pot ST et Hie one of the Bahama Islands, and then reshipping them to Southern ports by blockade runners.”* “At first sight this obtained some color of pos- sible proof when it was recalled that during the rebellion Nassau was a coaling station for all Confederate cruisers and blockade runners, and that it was there that Great Britain gave the South most valuable aid. ‘MR. MORTON'S DENIAL. “When Mr. Morton, however, was seen this afternoon his denial left no room for doubt as to the falsity of the charge. He not only de- clared it absolutely untrue, but dared any one to produce the documents referred to. en I inquired at democratic headquarters tomnight for proof to sustain the charge I was told that the managers there knew nothing whatever about the matter. The communication made public was annonymous and, like a thousand of similar matters, was put aside for investiga- tion. It was not intended for circulation, and stirprise was expressed at it having been ‘acci- dentally duplicated in the press matter. ref Thus perisheth the latest campaign scan- as What Will the W: From the Kingston Freeman. On the night of April 22 last a brilliant dis- play of northern lights was visibl ein the Cats- kill Mountains. Mountain-weather prophets announced that that and previous auroras, coupled with the fact that electric storms, ac- companied by loud thunder, had been of fre- 6 es occurrence during the first twenty-one lays of April, were regarded by them as indi- ‘ing that the summer of 1888 would be a cool one, and that the days of the major part of the fall would be chilly and productive of much rain. These prophets “point with pride” to the fact that their predictions have been veri- fied to the letter, and they are now gravely manufacturing weather for the coming winter. The average old trapper and hunter is usu- ally a close observer of animal life in the woods, and they base their predictions upon the actions of squirrels, rabbits, wild ducks, &c. They look upon men of the class of Wiggins and Devoe as happy-go-lucky weather guess- ers, and of no more account than some of the prognosticators employed in the Signal Service weather bureau. e result of the observa- tions made by the hunters of bear and other game, big and small, is that the approaching winter is going to be “pretty durned snug. Cold weather is to set in early, and there will be at least twenty-eight heavy snow storms. In sup ort of their assertion that the advent of aa weather may be looked for early, they oint to the fact that rain has fallen on wenty-two days of this month, and at times as though the very flood- gates of heaven had opened. The ground is saturated with water, streams and ponds are full to overflowing, the trees are being rapidly denuded of their magnificent foliage, and other 2 foe indicate that all nature is ready for along sleep. The squirrels have stored away nuts enough and to spare to last them until the gpring of 1889, and the quack of the wild duck as it flies southward earlier than usual to the ear of the weatherwise denizen of the woods, foretells an early winter. These prophets may know as much about the coming weather as a cat, yet, nevertheless, there are many people who place great faith in their predictions based on their observations al- ready enumerated. Old boatmen along the Hudson River invari- ably don the robe of prophecy in the fall. They have these garments on now, and they, too, see a long and a hard winter at hand. The exact date when the ice embargo on the Hudson will stop navigation has not been definitely an- nounced. It is intimated that the signs por- tend asudden close up. All this may be good news, ina prospective sense, to men who ex- pect to store ice, to yachtmen fond of skim- ming over a smooth, glass-like surface, in odd- ly-constructed skeleton ice-boats, and liver; men who have a large stock of sleighs on hand. Meanwhile Indian summer seems to have been lost, strayed or stolen, anda week of bright sunshine is being anxiously looked for by all sorts and conditions of men and women, weather prophets included. —seo______ Why She Wanted Him to Write.

William Gillette, the author of the successful play, “Held by the Enemy,” says the New York Times, received a document from Washington recently which made him very happy, and which is of great importance to dramatic authors of this country as establishing a pre- cedent under which they can rights seg! have boone iey Seen othe —T, of who foun to his interest fo violate them. “The ‘docu. ment was a patent, duly executed by the Patent Office, securing to Mr. Gillette, his heirs and assigns, for a period of seventeen years, the exclusive right to use, or permit the use of, effects representing the clatter of a horse's hoofs, This realistic effect was origi- nated by Mr. Gillette in his play, “Held by Enemy,” where it is used to represent the ap- roach and departure of ca’ horses. When ie play was first produced the Princess’ Theatre, London, this effect created a genuine sensation, and within a week imitations were being used in some of the theaters and in all of the music halls of London. The same thing happened in this eres 5 During the first run of the play at the Madison Square, and since that time, the effect has been not only in minstrel halls, but in the production of several American plays. In one or two instances it was used by prominent man- agers to whom Mr. Gillette explained what he considered his right, but to no avail. Some time ago he brought suit against Mr. Atwell, who produced ‘‘His Lordship” at the Standard, appropriating this effect, but the suit failed, e state court deciding that asa wero “ead Ee ae pipette? = Gillette en ing a) le ® patent, it was necessary to appeal ‘to a United States court. This de- cision gave encot ment to all who wanted to make use of the device, and the horse effects in new plays bécame almost as numerous.as the tanks throughout the country, with oo no relief for the originator of the idea, Mr. Gillette kept persistent] pressing his claims in the Patent Office, and yesterday his- mind was set at rest by the receipt of the long-cov- eted document. “The Baby Stare.” THE LATEST FAD TAKEN UP BY NEW YORK SOCI- ETY GIRLS, From the New York Press. Apropos of the debutantes, society women have adopted a new—what shall we call it? Art is rather “‘chestnutty,” but as this new some- thing is purely a work of art, we will call it so, though its usual cognomen is “the baby stare.” It looks very easy, but it requires arduous study and many rehearsals before one can do it'effec- tively. You must first select your young m and he must be young; a rounder of seve! seasons will not do at all; and after you have him safely corralled, and have gone over the usual preliminaries, and there comes a pause, look shyly down in your lap while you twist a convenient ribbon or toy with’ your fan; ask in a hesitating sort of way, as if you doubted its propriety, the most idiotic question you can think of, then lift your head slowly, and look him straight in the eyes; be sure that your face is as utterly devoid of expression, as the inside of an oyster shell. Don't wink. You will spoil it all if you wink. If you do it well your young man will say to himself: “What an innocent creature she is,” and with due appreciation of his own superior knowledge he will proceed to enlighten you, and you must be very careful to let the intelligence creep back slowly to your face; let him feel that he is imparting instruc- tion and is doing it well. It’s awfully fetching, but if you are anywhere on the sunny side of thirty, it is advisable not to try it. You'll fail if you do. ———+e+_______ Within the Gates. From the Philadelphia Record.
