COCK FIGHTING. A Grand Main of Game Fow on Long Island. THIRTEEN CONTESTS. Brilliant, Quick Battles and Gen- eral Good Feeling. ‘The most brilliantly contested main of the season, and the one in which the greatest interest has so far centred, was fought in Newtown, Ii. 1, a night or two ago, between two of the best feeders and breeders of game fowl in the country—one residing in Kings and the other in Queens county. Rumors of the main had circulated all through the sporting world and many were anxious to witness the contest, but for obvious reasons it was not deemed best to have it too public, aud but one hun- red and fifty, or,at the most, one hundred and seventy-five were allowed to be present, The tight- ing, which was to commenc» early in the evening, did not begin till after ten o'clock P. M., and closed shortly aftec six in the morning. Evevything passed off quietly and comfortably. Nothing hwppened during the entire night to mar the general good feeling thut pervaded the entire party. The main was more a test of the merits of the trainers and their principles of feeding. than a trial of gameness in the fowl, though, as to the latter, no gamer birds have been fought this season, ‘The agreement under which the main was fought ‘was to the effect that each side were to show seven- teen stags or chickens, from 5 1bs. to 3 ibs, 12 0z., and fight all that matched, under New York rules, at $20 a side a battle, and $200 on the odd fight; $100 to be put up as forfeit when the articles were signed and the remainder of the battle money to be placed in the hands of the referee before the firs, fight began. FIRST BATTLE, Before the birds were shown the odds were 3 to 2 on Kings county, a circumsiance that made the backers of Queens shy and kept outside speculators from large investments; but when they were put on thecarpet, previous to delivery,-both being at 5 lbs, (the heavy weights), the Kings county bird, 4 bla red, fellin the estimation of many, and the neat, trim looking pyle from Queens became the favorite, and, atter-the first two buckles the odds jumped to 2to lon the pyle, As soon u& delivered they yot to close quarters, giving a rapid exchange of close, deep hits, all the work being doue oii the carpet, tili each lost an eye. Then the red, though manitestly the strongest bird, commenced to droop as the pyle ral- lied and showed its readiness to keep on slashing. The terrible execution that had been done on each in the first onset, howeyer, told on both, and, dying, each were scratched for the count, and, after one or two exchanges, Kings won it aud Queens was counted out. Time, 7m. 31s. Both birds died a few moments after the battle closed. A large amount of money changed hands on the battle in consequence of the shifting of odds, though both parties i¢lt satisfied, as both sides had shown game stock, and Queens promised even better in the succeeding fights. The main stood 1 for Kings. SECOND BATTL , were next fought, both counties delivering pyles. ‘Che betting as they cowmenced dancing and dodging was even but spirited; but after the birds got down to a yood beak hold, close cutting fight on the carpet a Jittle inci- dent changed the odds in a moment to 6 to1 on Queens county. ‘The exchange at close quarters had filled the mouth of the Queens bird with feathers, and as they stepped buck tor change of tactics the latter deliberately cleaned its mouth with its claws md scratched its head and®neck in two or three places where Kings had stung it. Then, rallying to battle, it demonstrated the total blinduess of Kings. The bird from over the creck tried for a minute or two to get in an exchange tor the murderous blows of its active adversary, but, unable to see, was quickly cut down and then ran away, the only bird that at- tempted leg bail during the main. ‘The Kings county Dboys felt rather blue as they paid up, for the Queens county men were openly saying. “We won't let you have another fight, we are even now—the main stand- ing, Kings, 1; Queens, 1—but we intend to go right ‘on now to the end of the sport and won't yive you another fight.” Time, 6m. ‘THIRD BATTLE. Both sides delivered biack-reds at 4 Ibs. 5 02. opened on the tly with an elaborate flapping of wing Queens, the most active with its hee, only making feather hits, while Kings, if it struck harder, did it often, At lust, stung sharply, Queens threw more force in its blows aud induced Kings to talk, so that for the balance of the fight he kept up a con- tinual chatter, ‘The fighting grew harder, give and take both sides, til Queens lost an eye and Kings took to wheeling, keeping on the blind side. Ono short series of breaks tollowed, in which both gave and took weil, but finally, from the scratch, Queens crossed over and, after putting in his heels ev where, Kings-having stopped to talk, a soft spot was found in his head; Kings flopped up in the air, turn- ing “over and over, and dropped dead. ‘time, 9m. 26s. ‘This placed thé main—Kings 1, Queens 2; and, 4s it seemed to carry out the pledge given at the end of the second battle, the odds were in favor ot Queens, both on the next battle and the main, $100 to $5 being offered and taken freely. FOURTH BALTL The next weights were 4 ibs. 3 oz., at which Kings showed a black-red, which came in crowing. Queens’ ‘was a brown-red, a handsome bird, which its backers suid would soon make Kings ‘‘sing siuall.” They gt together well, breaking and cutting evenly, ings showing groggy when they reached the carpet; but awakening soon after and laying Queens’ thioat badly open, Lad the batile itsown way, and gave Queens @ series of dashing cuts. A marked when the latier fell over dying, ‘He's cut the heart out of it.” Queens was then pounded, and lay on the carpet subject to the attentions of its opponent till pickea up dead. Time, 7m. This made the main even—Kings, 2; Queens, 2—and the betting very active, though © Queens commencing vw hedge on the odds they had previously offered, YIFTH BATT Kings next showed black-red, with gray hackle, to which Queens responded with a biack-red, white hackle, both ut 4 Ibs. 4 oz. They began work at close uarters, the white hackle seeming to: have the b er of the fight, as it had cat Kings’ legs from it. Kings rallying, however, got in on the b the white hackle and laid it dying on the ¢ Time, 6m. 4is., leaving the main stand—Kin Queens, 2. ler of SIXTH BATTLE. Kings placed a brown-red at the scratch, to which | Queens delivered a pyle, both at 41bs. 10 0%. A good quiet opening marxed' this engagement, cach bird seeming to-test the strength of the other betore he gotto actual work. Then, commencing to cut, the pyle showed readiness and'the brown strenyt pyle slackened first, but as the brown also eomu to drag the pyle rallied and struck 2 territie blow the head of the brown that sent it across the pit crazy. Following it up it cut arou the latter with- out receiving a return. ‘Then squewking loudiy the crazy bird commenced to fight, a squawk aecompany- ing every hit. Its blows were hard aud told, as the pyle gradually succumbed, There were fears ex- pressed by the backers of the brown that he was working too fast to win, if the pyle was in as good condition, but the bird was too crazy to weaken, aud cutting the throat of the pyle knocked all the fight out of itand won by the count, Time, Lim. 48, ‘The main now xtood—Kings, 4; Queens, 2, and the odds in betting $100 to $90 in favor of Kings. SEVENTH BATTL Two black-reds were next delivered—e gray hackle from Kings and a white hackle from Queens, both at ibs To. A rattling, rapid fight, in which one and then the other seemed to have the advantage, until Queens seemed just a little groggy, with oue eye gone. Kings followed it up closely When Queens, rallying, drove it backward to the edge of the pit, from which position Kings, as it were, was thrown up on Queens back, yotting’its heel deeply into the base of its neck, just above the shoulders, At this the odds jumped to 5 to Lon Kings, the blow showing cloarly with its crimson stain on the white of the hackle, ‘The fight continued vigorousiy, how. ever, Queens hitting the harder, till, with @ mutu exchange, cach lost au eye, Queens thus becoming to- tay blind. It struck hard, however, at every hold atier that, Kings rapidly weakening, so that the odds wore turning slowly in favor of the white l wi achance shot from the gray laid it squawking and fluttering in death, with a heel through its head, ‘Time, 4m. 318. As Kings gathered in their winnings they wanted to know how many fights more Queens ‘was going to ive them, to which no reply Was made, and there were no takers on the main, though Kings offered $100 to $75, the figures then being—Kings, Queens, 2. KIGHTH BATTLE. Kings next offored a biack-red to a brown-red from Qneens, the weights being 4 Ibs. 807, They com- ieneod sparring till some one called out, “Will they ever fight?’ when as if in answer the brown got to work, cutting closely, to which the black scarcely re- sponded until he gota heel in his throat and then, before he had accomplished anything, lay down. ‘The brown slacked up at this stage, instead of follow- ing its advantage, and as & result, when they again ot to work, the black became very busy and rattled hoe brown so very lively that after a few wheels it was unable to re} nd was pounded, Time, 6m. 3s. Kings county was jubilant, offering $100 to $50 on the main, for the record now stood, Kings, 6; Queens, NINTH BATTLE. On this battle, which might prossibly decide the main, much money was invested. The birds at 4 Ibe, 6 oz, were black-reds, & gray hackle from Kings, aud & white hackle from Qnee: After @ series of dodging tlys they wot together; the white hackle show- iny strongth aud rapadtiy of motion, but not onowgh steadiness, so that the oals of $10 Co $5 Were offered against it. The white, as was expected, qnickly wore itself out by its rapidity was compeltied to resort to wheeling for @ rest, turning now and then for a Jit; « short series of breaks tollowed and then both lay down touether; $10 to $5 was then offered on = ra few seconds, | 1 Kings, to which one hungry better responded, “I'll | bet $1 against it,” the poser testuy retorted, | “What do you take us for? are you giving ucker fowl th t you demand odds of $10 to $1?” Before the argument could be continued the birds were up and at it again, and Kings in a minute or two had cut the breast of Queens #0 terribly thut it fell over and was pounded. Following it up the gray gave the coup de yrace, aud the main and the battle were scored for Kings. ' ‘time, 11m. 428, Kings, 7 battles; Queen: Some little’ time was spent in settling up, the greatest concert of feeling prevailing. especially as Queens announced theif determination to fight every battle weighed in. The judge, after he had handed over the stakes on the muin, with the exception of those for the unfoughe battles, desired the appoint: ment of a substitute, as he pcanla: not seialp, ba be v- ing anticipated an earlier ning of tl 1g 80 as to close by the tinm the inst battle was fought, ‘This was done, the new incumbent took the money and tho sport proceeded. Queens county boys blue, but determined to win back some of their losses if possible, yet claiming odds in the betting, ‘TENTH BATILE. ‘The next weights were 4 tbs. 8 0z., @ black-red from Kings and a pyle from Queens." Both ware ready 3, and in thelr quick Jumping in opening got a over the pit. They exchange: , thouzh the pyle | lost an eye by the black out-cu him, ‘Then rally- ing it slowed down the black for a few seconds, when again the tables were turned and the pyle weakened. | At one cut of the black, which rent through the comb of the pyle, the handler of the latter stepped | toward it with an expressive “Oh!” as if another Dattle was lost; but the bird breaking loose, be stepped back amid the laughter of the lookers-on at | his expression of auxiety over the battle. The pyle, stung by the blow, went to work with rapidity and. vigor tntil the black-red first tried wheeling and | | then back jumping to get outof the way, failing rapidly as the pyle waked up. ‘The blackie did get in its heels once or twice more, but a brain blow laid it dead, to the great joy of Queens county, who raked ina fow hundreds on the battle, ‘Time, Gin, 55s, ‘The odds during the fight nad changed more times than there were buckles in the battle. Kings now stood 7, Queens 3. ELEVENTH BATTLE. * Queens, when the birds were brought in, were eager to bet, but still wanted odds, ‘The opening was delayed a little to aid them, aud tueir handler | became much excited over the matter, though he said nothing beyond taking two or three bets with out- siders. Finally the matter wus arranged, and puts and calls were placed all around as the birds were de- livered. Kings county scratched a black-red to an- other pyle from Queens, both at 4 lbs. 90z. Their | openimg was rapid and brilliant, in which the pyle | was cut groggy for a few seconds, but, rallying, ho told well on the black besides cutting its throat. A | moment later the black got the pyle down, but his throat forbade much more fighting, and,’ the pyle coming to time, made it hot tor the black, bury its heel at every siroke, until Kings, thoroughly | used up and cut to pieces, was pounded. Time, din. 36s, Kings, 7; Queens, 4. ‘This battle might have been lost to Queens had Kings claimed it, for the handler from the former, through his excitement, handled his bird and drew it back to the scratch without its being fast or by order of the judge. ‘TWELFTH WATTLE. Queens county boys were getting jubilant, though Kings were confident and ready to bet, as they were still far ahead. ‘They gave small odds on tho next buttle till the birds wore shown; then the appearance of another pyle swung the odds, small of course, to | the side of Queens, and theygncreased as the battle progressed, despite the ounce ditleronce in weight. Kings delivered a black-red at4 Ib. 3 0z., totwhich Quecns delivered a pyle at 4 1b. 2 oz. They opencd slowly, the black making the better show till he woke the pyle up, when the latter got in so rapidly that the black’s throat was cut and he seemed disinclined to continue the action, Thinking better of it a mo- ment later he accepted an invitation to close quarters and, when they again drew off, the cut throat was re- turned. Master pyle, however, wus not disposed to allow things to remain even, so closing in he cut ail around the black, and so effectually that he laid him down, dying, and won the battle, Time, 4m. 18s. On tlie main’ Kings now stood 7 to Queens 5 battl THIRTEENTH BATTLE. On this, the last fight,-the betting was very, almost recklessly, tree, as Queens were eager to cover their losses, now getting toward even, from their last victories, and Kings were anxious to make something that should be an object or nothing at all. ‘The birds were a black-red with gray hackle, from Kings, at 4 Ibs. 3 0z., and a black-red with white hackle, ut 4 Ibs. 4oz., trom Queens. Their opening buckle was quick, both’ being cut groggy. the gray getting the worst of it. When the battie got down to close business the gray showed the better condition, though the white was the stronger hitter, but getting its throat cut it weakened, and the gray danced all around it, cutting iu at its pleasure and getting only an occasional re- spouse. The injuries it had received early in tho fight next commenced to show, and both birds lay down, the gray pecking and the white dying. Count- ing out then commenced, but before it finished Queens was dead. ‘Time, 7m. 428. Kings thus winning 8 bat- tles in the main to Queens 5. The company then separated, the loss on the part of Queens being heavy, but they hope ere long to be given the revenge they desire, aud it is expected that @ pyle main will achieve that result. ICE YACHTING ON THE HUDSON. A REMARKABLE CONTEST OF SPEED—TEN MILES IN TEN MINUTES—JUMPING A SNOW HUM- MOCK, POUGHKEEPSIE, Feb, 2, 1879, Ice boating on the Hudson, here and at New Ham- burg, for the past few days has been of the most ex- citing and thrilling character, twenty-five or thirty big, handsome yachts being engaged in the wild sport daily. Strong westerly gales have greatly in- tensified thofun, and the yachtsmen have cntered into it with a will noz exhibited by them before for years. It has been the desire of all to get the annual races off a8 soon as possible, but the condition of the ice has prevented, as there are large tracts of snow and many snow hummocks upon it, and therefore a clear, straight course cannot be laid out. From here to New Hamburg there is clear ice all the way on the east shore, but boats cannot geese it unless the | wind is west northwest, and even then the course deviates enough to make the distance over it to New Hamburg ten miles, when really in a straight line it is but nine. A REMARKABLE RACE. It was over this course that one of the most thrill- ing icoboat races ever witnessed occurred yesterday, and the affair is the chief topic in the ice boat talk of the associations, Jacob Buckhout, the iceboat buiider, | was busy at odd times last summer constructing an | | ico yacht for himself, one # Litto smaller than the first class boats, but provided with ali the mod- | ern improvements, a beauty in model and rigging and sails, and he made her as ight as he possibly could. One day last week he pat her on tho ice for the first time and her speed was noticeable Yesterd: tion | hree yachts of the New Hamburg Associa- | up from below, namely:—The Phantom, Zophyr and Magic, the first two named being enrolied among the fiest class boats of the Hamburg | Club, The wind was blowing big gans from tho | west and a dozn yachis were dartirg hither and thither with the «peed of lightning, but all seemed to ignore each other's company, tearing @ race, till about four P. M., when the New Hamburg yachts started for home. It was at this time chat Buck- hout resolved to give his new yacht a tair trial, aud he immediately gave chase to the sphyr, Phantom and.

Buckhout's boat had again passed the Magic and the latter put into Milton, vir- tually giving up the contest, ‘the Zephyr was now giving chase to Buckhout, and the crews of both yachts were on the alert for every advantage. The terrific speed was not in the least abated. JUMPING A HUMMOCK, Off Van Rensselacr’s Point u gradually sloping snow hummock, nearly two’ feet deep in the centre, lay directly in the path of the Bucklout boat, When it was first observed the boat was so close to it that there was no time for deliberation and the poops] short around quick would’ Tose him the race, possibly, the Zephyr coming like lightning cl pind him, might dash into him and some one be killed, ‘To jump the hummock was to take the chances of losing his mast and the race.

With the velocity of @ whirlwind the yacht struck the hummock and bounded over it to the clear ico beyond, the snow flying in sprays in every direc- tion, and not even a cord in the rigging being en.

An “Bartel’s off—ten-mile race!” eried the ticket seller at Brewster Building yesterday afternoon to the crowd that besieged the box office. Annie Bartel had tailed in her ‘great feat” of walking 3,000 quarter miles in 3,000 quarter hours. Her failure was as° painful as it was complete. At half-past three o’clock yesterday afternoon she was withdrawn from the track by the order of Drs, Littleand King, hay- ing completed only 566 quarters of her allotted tusk. The last quarter sho walked—if walking it could be called—in tm. 2s, but after midnight on Saturday many of her quarters re- quired a much longer time, Many causes contrib- uted to her failure, and among these not the least important, it is said, was the conduct of Hughes, her trainer. He was the occasion of a row in the build” ing on Saturday night which kept the place in an up- roar until a late hour on yesterday morning. When the policeman took charge ot him to escort him into the streot he cried “Murder!” at the top of his voice, Word was at once curried to Miss Bartel of the trouble, and she sympathized with Hughes, and was at first inclined to leave the track. Better counsels prevailed, however, and ulthough very much ex- cited, she kept on at her works Shortly after imid- night the “lepper” managed to slip into the building and joined Miss Burtel on the track, an1 afterward went with her to her room. In her room, it is said, her break her contract; but was finally ejected from the building a second time. For several hours after- ward he lurked about the building, frequently show- ing himself as a baffled apparition in’ the doorway. In the meantime the pedestrienne kept on walking. But she was not properly cared for in the intervals allowed for sleep and nursing, as Mrs. Hughes, her attendant, had gone below to investigate. It is claimed that the trouble arose solely from Hughes’ offensive behavior, and Mrs. Hughes apparently was satisfied that her husband was in the wrong. “Will you ask my wife to come out here?’ he said to the HenaLp reporter. Mr: nghes responded to the command of her lor “You niust take Annie off,” he said to his wife. 1 going to stand by the paper.” the lady answered. “Then I will leave you,” said Hughes, decidedly. Not appalled by this domestic calamity Mrs, Hughes answered, “Very well.” It was the comedy scene in the performance at Brewster Hall; but through loss ot sleep and fatigue, to which excitement and an ap- fortes physical crisis contributed, the tragedy had already begun up stairs. At two o'clock yester- day morning it was plain that the milkmaid would s00n go back to her and auring the next twelve hours her sufferings were simply dreadful. ACUTE SUFFERIN No stage distress ever excited such emotions as the apparent tortures of this poor girl. At every step po sgsnoeg leg picture of agony, Her eyes were blearea ana bloated, and her face depicted the pain which racked her frame at every step. She no longer walked around the track, but dragged herself heavily and wearily along. It sho had besn compelled to tread unshod on glowing ploughshares her agony could not have been greater. Her teet were biistered, while th» muscles of her legs and hips were swollen and ached with rheumati acuteness. Even her arms, hanging listless by her side, seemed to sympathize with the aches and pains which afflicted her whole body. Her face twitched with the intensity of her sufferings. She could not see the track and nad to be guided more carefully than a blind beggar on the king's road. Moreover, she had to be held up or she would have fallen fast asleep in the sawdust. At last all consciousness, save that of suffering, seemed to pass away, and when she lett the track the last time she was as completely unaware of it as if death instead of mere exhaustion had stricken her down. She slept for two hours without interruption, undis- turbed by the noise and uproar outside. While the man iu the box office cried, ‘Bartel’s off; a ten-mile race up stairs!”’ she neither knew nor cared that she had failed, QUEER FACTS AND FIGURES. In the beginning the roystering young fellows in the assemblage used to amuse themselves with jok about the milkmaid and her cows, and occasionally a party would burst out singing— Where are you going, my pretty maid? T'm going to market,’sir, sho said, ‘The miikmaid liked the spirit of raillery and mis. chief that abounded, and even after her weariness and suffering had begun in earnest she repeated her freak ot blaucking the faces ot her sleeping guests; but her walk during the last ten or twelve hours was only a funeral march. Her pulse rose and fell with frightful rapidit; and her temperature fluctuated like a ship's baré eter before a siorm. During all this time Dr. Little ‘was constantly in attendance and relieved her suifer- ings as much ax possible. At midnight on Saturday her pulse was 100, and then sue was Walking steadily at her customary gait. At two o'clock in the morn- ning it had risen to 101, aud at four o'clock to 104, at about which tigure it remained for several hours. | Atter ten o'clock, however, it rose with renewed rapidity, so that by noon itwas 112 and at tw o'clock in the afternoon 120, After she lett the track her pulse receded to 1s. In the score the fluctuations are equally remarkable. At ten o'clock yesterday morning the pedestrienne walked her quarter in Sm. 7s.

A YOUNG GERMAN CHEMIST GIVES HIMSELF UP AS A VAGRANT TO OBTAIN SHELTER. John Peterson, thirty-nine years of age, a native of Germany, was arraigned before Justice Kilbreth in | the Essex Market Police Court by Officer Balger, of the Tenth precinct, on a charge of breaking the glass in a street lamp on the corner of Eldridge and Grand streets. The prisoner was delicate looking, tall, | slim and thinly clad. His hair, slightly tinged with gray, was combed back from his high forehead, and | his appearance showed that he was no tramp. “Why did you break the glass, Peterson?” asked the Justice. “I have no home, sir, and no work. I want to give myself up. I broke the glass because I had no place to go to, and I knew that the officer would take me in. “What has brought you to this ?” “My health, Your Honor. I will have money from my friends in Germany in @ short time, and I want to stay in some place until then.” The reporter saw, him in the Essex Market Prison | afew minutes later, and the story of his trials was related in an interesting manner. COMING TO AMERICA. He gradnated as a chemist in a German college when a young mau, and a year or so afterward mar- ried a beautiful German girl of his native town, and their wedding trip was a voyage across the Atlantic. ‘hey landed in New York in 1858 and started immoe- diately for the West. Arriving in San Francisco Mr. Peterson embarked in busine>s tor himselt with the limited capital which he had and succeeded beyond his expectations. They returned to Kurope several times, visiting his parents, who were residing ona large estate near Berlin, Before the late civil war | broke out his wite and their two children died, and he was left alone. In 1863 he joined the Third New Jersey cavalry aud was in mauy battles. In the battle of Winchester he was wounded twice in his right arm by Minié balls, After serving three years in the army he sup- ported himself by clerking and practising his pro- fexsion. In the first part of 1878 his health began to fail, and, repre with this affliction, came the tews of the death of his aged iather, closely tollowed by that of his mother, His sickness was bleeding of the lungs, which in time became so bad that h a8 compelled to leave his business. The entire estate | in the Fatherland was left to the two only sons, Francis and the unfortunate John, The interest on his half was received regularly until some two weeks since, aud with it "he managed to support himself comfortably. Last Saturday morniny, having no . not even a penny, he left his boarding place, 1 ei viway, indebted to the landlady for 's boar one we IN THE STATION HoUsT. After wandering through the streets the whole day he was ¢on:pelled, tor the first time in his life, to ap- piy atastation house for lodging, tie remained mm the station house during the night, thankful for the | soft side of a plank. At five o'clock yesterday morn- ing he left with the other lodgers. He was too proud to beg. He had no place to go, and, after brooding over his mistortunes for an hour, concluded that he wonld get himself arrested, go before the justice and tell him his story. Accordingly he broke the glass inthe lamp on the corner of Eldridge and Grand streets, for which offence he was promptly arrested | by the officer on post and arraigned in the court. | He was committed to the care of the Commissioners of Charities for a short time. He further stated that he had ordered a portion of the estate to which he is heir sofd, and the money, together with the back in- terest, forwarded to him, which, when received, will relieve him from his present embarrassing condition, A TRAMP WHO WAS AN HEIR, [From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Jan. 31.) ‘Tirrts, Ohio, Jan. 30, 1879, A queer discovery was made in this city this morning, which will probably lead to the reunion of wealthy relatives with a wayward son and brother. | As the tramps were let out of the station house this | morning one of the roughest and worst looking of the lot passed up street and met Edward Rowland, General Track Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio road, who recognized him and spoke to him, calling him by name. The trainp endeavored to pass, but Mr. Rowland stopped him, saying, “I know you. What | are you doing here in this plight?’ The tramp, | whose name is Ruthraff, said that he was tramping, but was too ill to travel. Mr. Rowland, acting the part of the good Samaritan, took him’ home, gave | him a bath, a change of linen, put him in bed and sent fora physician, He says that young Ruthraf's father is one of the wealthiest men in Baltimore, and one time established him in business with a capi- tal of $60,000, His brother is now ar more and rich. Why he is thus hi the disguise of a tramp isa mystery which he will | | not explain, Mr. Rowland proposed tel-graphing to | his triends, but he would not listen to it, saying,if that was done he would leave at 0: tis probable that he is insane, aad xfter a few days’ rest, with proper medical aid, will consent to return home.
