From the New York World, To-day. It is an open question with John L. Sullivan whether it would be better for him to return to Richburg, Miss., surrender himself to the au- thorities of Marion county, and trust to the mercy of the law, or continue to evade the Mis- sissippi officers. Pat Duffy, the well-known sporting man of New Orleans, who was Sulli- van’s financial agent in the recent fight, was in the city last week and advised the “big fellow” to give himself up atonce. There have been several conferences on the subject between Sullivan, Johnston, Wakely, Muldoon, Barnitt, and Dan Murphy, but up to a late hour last night no definite decision had been reached. Rumors that Governor Lowry had sent a de- tective to New York to obtain requisition pers and warrants were current yesterday, 'o doubt there are plenty of officers mn Missis- sippi who would be glad to make an effort to obtain the $1,500 reward offered by the state, and the reports are probably not without foundation. ‘The penalty for _prize-figbting in Mississippi is a tine of not more than $1,000 und not less than $500. or imprisonment ina county jail not less than twelve months, or th. All aiders and abettors are punishable by a fine of not less than $100 or imprisonment for six months, or both. If Sullivan should attempt to go on the road with a company he would be in continual danger of arrest, and some of his firmest friends are of the opinion that he will decide to “face the music” and be free from restramt. There is an impression that the authorities in Marion county would be lenient with the champion because he had nothing to do with the selection of Mississippi as a battle-ground and thought the fight was to take place in Louisiana. 200 GEORGIA’S FANATICS. The Personator of King Solomon and Nine Others Arrested. A Savannah, Ga., special to the Philadelphia Press, July 30, says: The trouble in Liberty county is still on. King Solomon and nine more wilderness worshipers were arrested this morning. The colored woman, Laura Roberts, who claims to be the Virgin Mary, however, is now leading the darkies. She has powerful in- fluence over the colored people and promises to give more trouble than any of her predeces- sors. She stalks about witha lantern on her head lighted and claims to be gifted with su- pernatural powers. She is called “Queen Mary” by her followers. Of the crowd ar- rested this morning only King Solomon was de- tained in jail, The others under arrest are Ed James, who bit off s woman's nose and broke her jaw; Jack Pray, Dick Maxwell, a ne, named Donglas, Simon Walthour, John B. Mal lard, and Sam Jones. A special term of the superior court will be asked to try the ers now in jail, Mallard and Jones are! with riot.

THR LATTER'S MIDNIGHT WATCH FOR TRE THIEF WHO HaD BEEN ROBBING HIM—THE PROWLER SHOT IN THE BACK WITH BIRD SHOT—IKJU- RIES WHICH PROVED FATAL, William Johnson, the negro who was shot Monday night by Charies Howison, was injured worse than was at first and yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock he died. As stated in yesterday's Stan, the shooting oc- curred on Mr. Howison’s premises. or two the view. ‘MR. AND MRS. DRISCOLL NEARLY READY TO MOVE. The reporter next visited the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Driscoll, who have been in their present abode for many years. The house is a small frame structure containing only s few rooms, and is down in the ravine. Mrs. Dris- coll was seen and stated to Tux S7ar that she would not move until the house, and in a day will be hidden from Mr. Howison, who is about twenty-eight | » Years old, is a cripple, and, with his father, he works a garden on Half street southwest near the river, Mr. Howison, like many of his neighbors in the same business, has been in the habit for some years of loading his wagon over night in order to be ready for an early start to market in the morning. He would leave the vehicle standing on the roadway in the garden near the house with only a covering tokeep the rain out. From time to time vegetables and fruits were missed from the wagon, but in such small quantities that no attention was paid to the pilfering. ‘ A PERSISTENT PILFERER. Recently, however, Mr. Howison has been the victim of a series of thefta. Seldom would | sho ® night pass that his wagon was not robbed. In order to guard against these depredations he determined, after loading the wagon each afternoon, to put the vehicle in the wagon house and secure the doors. Even this did not have the effect of keeping the thief away. Every morning when Mr. Howison went out to start for market he would find that he had been robbed, and each time it was the choicest fruits and vegetables which wer g from the boxes and barrels. Several nights the barking of the dog awakened the membera of the family, and each time some one would go out to make an investigation, but was never able to fet a glimpse of the robber. The bark- ing of the dog would frighten the thief off, but he usually secured a basket of choice products of the garden before he departed. The losses were more than the Howisons were able to stand, and the son made up his mind to secure the burglar if possible. 4 MIDNIGHT WATCH FOR THE THIEF. Monday night was the time he selected to watch for the thief. It wasafter 90’clock when he picked up his shot gun, which was loaded with Nos. 6 and 8 bird shot, and went to the stable to await the arrival of the robber who had been reaping the benefits of his hard labor. Seating himself in the e he waited pa- tiently for two hours, Now and then he would hear a dog bark or @ sound about the fence, and each time he was sure that the thief was coming. The night was dark and rain fell at intervals. At one time it would clear up 80 that the form of a man could be seen some dis- tance off. Again threatening clouds would cover th id make it so dark that nothing but the flickering lights on the river could be seen from the Howison garden. THE ROBBER CAME under the cover of darkness, but no one saw him. On his arm he carried a basket, in which were three sacks in which to put his plunder. He had afew ears of corn in his basket, but where he got them no one will probably ever know. Stopping ‘at the gate he removed his shoes and put them in the basket, Thinking the coast was clear he passed through the garden to the carriage house, He had no difficulty in finding it for he had been there before. “Click” went the stable latch and Mr. Howison was surprised. He looked toward the door, but the darkness prevented him from even seeing the form of the burglar. Being barefooted the intruder crept noiselessly to the wagon. ‘The faithful watcher then heard him climb into the wagon and take hold of a box or barrel. By this time the negro was high enough in the air to be seen, but Mr. Howison could not tell whether he was white or black. Being satisfied that he could surprise the in- set Mr. Howison shouted “Stop there! stop there!” . THE FLYING THIEF SHOT IX THE BACK. The negro, finding he was detected, sprang from the wagon and, pushing the heavy doors open, started to run off. Just as he opened the doors Mr. Howison raised the gun and fired. He had not the slightest idea, he says, of kill- ing the negro, but thought he would frighten and probably stop him. The bird shot, he thought, could not havea fatal effect. The negro continued torun. He turned the corner of the stable and disappeared in the darkness. The report of the gun shot brought the other members of the family to the stable, but Mr. Howison, as he came out of the stable with the gun in his hand, said: “It’s no use; he’s gone,” THE WOUNDED MAN SAYS IT WAS HIS FAULT, His father, however, said they would look around the place, A lantern was procured, and not 40 yards from the stable was found the negro lying in the path with his face toward the ground. “It was my fault,” he said, as they picked him up; ‘don’t have Mr. Charlie arrested, be- cause I am to blame for it.” It was then about 11:15 o'clock, The injured man was carried to the house and given a drink of brandy. Word was sent to the station house and the patrol wagon soon arrived. The wounded man was first taken to Dr. Winters’ office and then to the station, Mr. Howison was placed under arrest. After being treated by Dr. Winters the negro was taken to Freedman’s hospital, Mr. Howison was released on $100 bail ons charge of assault, DEATH OF THE WOUNDED MAN, When examined at the hospital the victim’s neck and back were found to be full of small shot and bits of his clothing were in the small wounds, Yesterday the patient grew weaker, and about 4 o'clock in the afternoon he died, HOWISON AGAIN ARRESTED, When the negro’s death was reported Po- liceman Treadwell rearrested Mr. Howison, The police were generally of the opinion that Mr. Howison should not be — for shoot- ing the man who was robbing him, and the officer did not treat the prisoner as a criminal. Instead of being put in acell where other prisoners are placed he was placed in one of the a lodgers’ rooms on the second floor. The dead body of the negro was removed to the morgue, where a coroner’s j was sum- moned to appear this afternoon at 2 o'clock. ‘THE AUTOPSY, Deputy Coroner Schaeffer made an aut on the body. He found that most of the shot entered the right side near the arm pit and some of them entered the arm. Tho shot shattered the right lung and filled the h with many small mae of bone. The woun: was necessarily a fatal one, ‘THE INQUEST. The jury, which was composed of George Prather, Patrick Cusick, George Gill, Corbin Hayes, W. A. Peacock and E, Rowe, met at the sixth precinct this afternoon, ha The Irving Park Camp Meeting. At 9 o'clock a.m. yesterday @ prayer and praise meoting was held and at 11 o'clock an had displa; willingn to building © comfortable little home Breet, which was not quite ready to receive m, (oms. mancarer svtiivay’s Home was the next one visited. It is unlike the Dris- coll’s homestead, for it is situated high upon # mound of earth. Mrs. Sullivan informed the representative of Tax Star that ber husband | heads. had been dead for some years and had left her destitute, and that she was living on charity, She wasalone in the world, without means or support, and she could not move even when the time came for her to do so, Mra, Sul- livan also stated that she told one of the offi- cers of the Prospect avenue improvement com- pany’ that if the pried found her aay place move to they could move her. Her house, said, was in the way of extending Prospect avenue, VENERABLE JOHN DONOVAN, Through a dense growth of small trees and bushes John Donovan's two-story frame house could be seen, and to that place Taz Stan man directed his footsteps. Mr. Donovan is fully eighty years of age. He was shaving himee! when the reporter called, and between strokes of the razor told his tale to the effect that he had been served notices to remove his honse, but for the life of him he could not see where he was to move, as he was almost penniless and could not buy ground like some of Itis neigh- bors who were forced to move on account of the avenue being extended. Mr. Donovan resides in this house all by himself. He built it and around it he had planted shade trees, rwhich he stated had been damaged or re- moved by the erection of a row of houses re- cently by the company who desire avenue to be extended. Mr. Donovan other grievances, yet he worked upon the subject philosophically by remarking that the avenue has to be opened and the objectionable houses will be removed. GEORGETOWN.

The Constitutional convention of North Da- kota has again got down to business. A large number of Jamestown citizens arrived at Bis- marck yesterday. They believe that James- town may win the seat of government, and are willing to enter into most any sort of scheme to get it. The memorial to Congress praying that the general government take steps toward establishing a system of irrigation throngh ar- tesian wells has excited much comment, and facts are being brought forth to prove that the scheme is feasible, Gen, Ruger submits this proposed section for the constitution. “Jurisdiction 18 ceded to the United States over the military reservations of Fort Abraham Lincoln, Fort Buford, Fort Pemina, and Fort Totten. heretofore declared by the President of the United States, vided process, civil and c1 alof this state, shall extend over such reservations in all cases of which ex- clusive jurisdiction is not vested in the United States, or of crimes not committed within the limits of such reservations.” In committee of whole the question of sell- ing the school lands occupied most of the time. It was finally settled by providing that school lands shall not be sold in tracts of less than 160 acres. The pure! T pays one-fifth down and the remaining four-fifths in five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years, Mr. Rolfe of Benson threw ina firebrand by offering an amendment to the article on suf- frage, providing that after five years no man who is nota full citizen of the United States shall have the right to vote. This brought the orators to their feet, and many opposed the amendment. Moer of Lamour could not see why men who, in conversation, favored such a proposition should not favor it bare and intimated that they were afraid of. the foreign vote, Mr. Buell, the Minneapolis single-tax advo- cate, addressed the convention on that subject, advocating that the constitution provide for that system of taxation, The theory tiat all tax should be en from the lands and im- rovements and personal property be exempt Ts popular with many of the ddlegates, lelegate said e@ expect to place the completed constitutions in the hands of a com- mittee of revision no later than Friday.

A telegram has been sent to each delegate to the South Dakota convention absent from Sioux Falls to return in time for a session on day evening, as the commission will ba turned from Bismarck by that time. MONTANA. The Montans convention yesterday consid- sidered and passed the bill on the executive department. Efforts to reduce state officers’ salaries proved fruitless. The suffrage bill, with the amendments by the committee of the whole, was next taken up. More desperate efforts were made on behalf of the woman's suffrage order, Mr. Toole made a brilliant speech against embodying the matter in the constitution. The vote on the proposition was @ tie—33 to $3. This relegates the woman's suffrage question to oblivion for the present. The suffrage bill was then submitted as amended and adopted. WASHINGTON.

The house surgeon of Notre Dame oe great astonishment. “If,” said he, “it were only the seamen who were effected I might think the change from a very warm to a tem- perate climate was thecause, or else that it was due to eating large quantities of salt pork. But the captain states there was plenty of fresh canned meat consumed. Possibly it may be something in the air. ————ces______ The Luck of an Arkansas Druggist. From the New York Sun.
