Fights and Rumors of Fights at the Grand Opera-House—Successfal | Inanguration ot the Knock- ing-Out Season, San Franciseo Call July 25, There was fight in the air at the Grand Opera-house last night; inside and outside the twenty-four foot ring there was an atmosphere of fight. The occasion for the gathering of two thousand delighted citizens was the event of much promise and interest, as it was to be San Fran- cisco’s first real taste of a “‘knock-out” | contest wherein moro than ordinary slog ging talent engaged. An unknown had agreed, and backed his agreement with 260, to knock out Harry Maynard, the const’s light weight champion, in four rounds, {lnnluiu of Queensberry rules to govern, the aforesaid knocking to be done with gloves as Fard as the police would allow. Therefore, the two thou- sand citizens were delighted. They have long felt that San Francisco has been backward indeed, in this respect. Almost daily the dispatches broughtnews of some knocking-out contest in New York, at- tended by Roscoe Conkling, Charles A. Dana and various thousands of others, and soit was felt here that the eminent here had a right to complain that this new and entertaining diversion had not been supplied by cateers to public taste. “‘Knocking out” had become, thre the dispatches, a cherished houschold but not until last night was its real nificance to be understood. The cr for Grieco-Roman and catch-as-catch- having had its glorious day, it was dent last night that the craze for the beauties of knocking out had fairly taken possession of the city. Before the prin- cipal event of the evening there w several minor events botwoen sturdy sluggers, yet even this did not™ prevent the fighting talk proceeding on and off the stage. The first evidence of the fever that had smouldered and was then about to break out, to knocking out, in fact, was the appearance on the stage, in front of the ring, of a glib-tongued party who proposed to put up 8260 as an_expression of his opinion that_Pete Lawlor (Dublin Pete) could hold the championship in the ring against Tack Hallinan, Patsy Hogan or Harry Maynard, the latter preferred. The man of opinion and coin departed in a wing, ‘and Harry Maynard, wearing an ulster oyer his ring costume, appeared and said, “T waccept the proposition.” Then hé retired, and the audience cheered. A fresh couple of sluggers be- ing put in the ring, Jack Hallinan ‘excit- edly rushed to the reporters’ table and asked the particulars of TLawlor’s chal- lege. Receiving the desired information, he stepped to the front of the stage and said: ‘T will fight any man on the coast for the light-weight championship for 81, 000. T will fight Mn{;m\rd, and give him two or three pounds best in weight, or fight Lawlor if he will come down to my .| weight.” ONE AT A TIME, At this point Maynard agamn appeared on the stage and said: ‘““After my fight with Lawlor I'll fight Hallinan.” Hallinan excitedly shoved his hand in his pocket, and exclaimed: *“I'll bet $50 right here Maynard won't put up a forfeit on my offer.” Maynard replied, with a generous smile for the audience: ‘I can't fight more than one man at a time, you know,” and again disappeared. The audience cheered delightedly and shouted loudly as a blue-shirted, cheerful- looking party climbed upon the stage, shook innd- with Hallinan, and, with an “mf:i“ and oom‘pnahol-iva { grin, knuckled his forehead and spoke: “I'l fight any man on the coast at from 140 to 150 nounds, for from $100 to $10,000.” (Deafening cheers from the audince, and cries of ‘“‘Is it Sullivan or Vanderbilt? What's your name?’) “My name is Thomas Kelly, and I ain't afeord of it.” ‘The audience again cheered Mr. Kelly, who ducked his had in appreciation. Al this while the sloggers in the ring were furnishing the delighted audience with amusement for their eyes, while Mr, Kelly amused their ears. It was as good a8 two circuses under one tent. After taunting Maynard to put up a forfeit, Hallinan said: *I'll start a purse right now fora fight here to-night between Lawlor and Mr. Kelly.” Mr. Kelly was 80 overcome by this unexpected appreci- ation that he knuckled his forehead so vigorously as to incur great danger of knocking himself out. ~ Both he and Hallinan_still stood on the stage, when Mr. Lawlor’s backer dived out from the wings, and presenting Billy Jordan with two twenty-dollar gold pieces, said: “‘There’s my man'’s forfeit against Harry Maynard.” ““I haye got this money,” said Mr, Jor- dan, which was so manifestly the case that the audience cheered, “and I'm wait- ing“{'o:' to see the same from Mr. May- After this rich literary treat the audi- ence was prepared to see something more substantial in the way of knocking out than offers to do so, and cheered Mr. Jordan as he cleared the stage of the talkers, and, in his well-known lordly manuer, ordered on the principals to the main event, According to that time- honored custor: some _one shied a hat in the ring, which proved to be Mr, Scott the ‘‘unknown,’ as that person followed the hat, and submitted heroically to MR, JORDAN'S INTRODUCTION, A fashionable bell.crowned hat was then in from the other side, followed by Harry Maynard and his seconds . The oves, which were submitted to Captain Short's inspection, The police captain carefully , | examined the gloves, rejected the thin- nest, and said there would be no objec- tion to the fight going on with tho others, ‘The ones permitted are what are called “half small,” and have about one-third the padding of the ordinary gloves, They were hard enough for all purposes, as tho fight showed. ~After much discussion over the choice of referee, judges, cor- ners, ete., time was called. As the men advanced to the centre, some one the audience yelled, *Two to one Harry knocks the big one out.” Scott is about five foet ten, and looks to weigh, in ring costume, over 180 pounds. He was dressed in white tights, and had a black eye, the latter the result of some hard training, Maynard wore only white tights and a determined air, and appar- eutly weighed under 140, It was the general impression that as Maynard’s contract only called for him not to be knocked out that he would play on the defensive entirely, and devote all of his energies to keeping away from his big tagonist. He gave that impression a ! ralak-let from his first movements, As n s the men broke away, after shak- ng hands, Maynard ghowed n‘flnt, by advancing and landing a clean left-hander —— surprised. upon the little man, who dn(l¥ml two or three blows, and then brought the au- dience to its foet with a yell, by landing a right-hander under the unknown's ear which knotked him clean down. As fighting goes, it was as pretty and neat an operation as the most exacting in the audience could desire. The unknown looked astomshed as he rose and made a rush for Maynard, and looked more so when he met another blow which put him on his back again with his nose bleeding. The excitement became intense as Soott got his feet again and rushed upon May- nard. The round resulted in nine knock- downs and throws for Maynard, who did a terrific amount of hard, hot fighting in a very cool manner. The last knock- down threw Scott against the ropes with such force as to dislodge one of the posts, The confusion and noise was 8o great that neither man heard time called, and May. nard strode over his prostrate antagonist ready with another blow when he should rise. Tho men's seconds, seeing by the frantic actions of the time-keeper and referee that time was up, rushed to their men, and carried them to their corners, Scott was bleeding, blown and groggy. As he was dropped in his corner, Captain Short jumped in the ring, followed by half a dezen policemen, all the ring offi- cers, backers, seconds and betters, every one shouting wildly and gesticulating in the most distracting manner. THE POLICE CAPTAIN Made himself heard on the stage at last and said: ““This fight must stop; that man 18 beat already.” The audience could not understand, and Jordon started to announce the police verdict, when he was interrupted by the information that Scott was 80 improved by his seconds that the captain had decided to let the fight go on. Scott actually fought better in the first half of the second round, getting in one light blow on Maynard’s face and several on his body. Maynard forced the fight, however, and rushed Scott to his corner, where he knocked him down., As Scott got up Maynard instantly knocked him down again, and Scott’s second frantically put in a claim of foul. The noise was so great that no one could hear the referee's decieion, but Jack Maynard, learning that it was no foul, ran over to Harry, whereupon the latter imparted the infor- mation to the unknown by knocking him down again, The round was hard fight- ing all the time; Scott showing some pluck, though his right eye was tightly closed, his nose split and his body badly punished. The men had several close ral- ies, which usually resulted inScott getting thrown. All through the round, and at its close, Maynard was wildly cheered by the audience, which expressed vigorously its friendly desire to see Maynard knocl ont the man who was matched to knock him out. Scott came up to the scratch in the third round rather groggy, and Maynard smiling. The latter had only to keep out of the big man’s way for two rounds to win the money, and plainly started in the round with the good- natured intention. He danced around the unknown blithely, not heeding his brother Jack’s kindly advice to ‘“Hit him in the ear, Harry.” But Scott, gaining some confidence” and wind through May- nard’s actions, showed fight again, and when at last he got a good sight with his maining eye on Harry's smiling face, he uuwinolf' punched " at it. Maynard dodged the blow, but Scott got in an un- dercut, which caused the little man to conclude to end the fight as soon as pos- sible. He forced the big fellow over against, the rear rope, and when both re- covered position Maynard got in n tough right-hander on Scott's ear, that cleanly knocked the big man out of time. May- nard stood over him the prescribed ten seconds, but Scott could not or would not rise, and the fight was declared for May- nard, who was borne off the stage on the shoulders of his seconds and backers, and th iqnee depgrted. ing TS R gy, unhap) , was carried *For years Mrs Lilia Pinkham has been contending with the terrible hydra known as Disease, with what sur- prising success thany who were in the serpent's coils will testify.

Gen, Hatch, the well known Indian fighter, said to a St.Louis reporter: “The finest Indian fighter in the army is Geo, Caook. How, he is an Indian fighter,and there never wasa better one. What are the qualifications of an Indian fighter? Well, T'll tell you: Pluck and endurance, He's got te know how to starve. A white man can starve an Indian every time, He can outlast him in everything.

I crossed over the crest of one of those craters once and closed in with a body of Indians two thousand feet below. No, Crook took things easy. He went along slowly and rested at places with the idea of taking the Indians in without any fighting, and he accomplished it. He had a great many of my oldsonuts withhim, * 1Us & mis. taken idea that Indians are_treacherous. They are soldiers—born soldicrs, and are loyal to whoever they fight for. When the Indians enlist with you they'll fight for you to the death. Iv'e seen them kill their own people, not because they had any bitter feelings for them, but because they were on my side. When their six months are out, though, then look out—they are with you no longer”, Asked about Indian tacties, the general said: *“They do not scatter and fight individ- ually, as is generally supposed, They fight like soldiers, ina body, undera com- mander, and are military in every sense. They advance and retire, execute flank movements, and are up in all the evolu- tions, I'll never forget,” siad the gener- al with a laugh, ““when 1 had a handful of soldiers with me, just after the war in Texas —I believe it was in 1806. A large body of Indians came down on us, and from the appearance of things it was all up with us, We were armed with maga- 7ine guns—Spencer rifles, which the In- dians had never seen or heard of. They had the common muzzle loading guns, aud when we massed ourselves together we could see that they were coming the old Indian dodge on us, circling around, coming nearer and nearer, firing arrows atus, and as they got closer, waiting the time when we should fire into them, when they would dash down upon us and get away with us before we could reload, 1 knew what their tactics were, and I wait- ed the result with the greatest enjoyment. When they got close up I gave the word to fire, and bang went the rifles. Then the Indians came at us as swift as their horses could carry them. I knew they were unconscious of the fact that we had nine loads in each gun, and when at the word my boys fired again they were thun- derstricker. They wero still on the charge when we plumped into them again. At every fire their men dropped. The: when when we fired into them again with- out moving our rifles, they turned and we put after them still firing. Well you never saw anything like the demoraliza- tion among them. They must have thought the devil was after them. We chased them as far as we could, but they were too fast for usand we gave it up. But to return to Crook’s Indians.

St. Albans Messenger, July 25, ‘Thomas Larnard, of Somerset, Wind- ham county, who is 17 years old, with another boy about the same age, set a taap for a black bear. One day Larned went alone tolook after his trap, and found that the bear had heen there and taken the trap and clog attached to it and departed. Evidently he had his foot in it. The youngster was delighted and ex- cited as well, but had no weapon but a jack-knife, "He concluded there was no time to be lost in securing help, so cut- ting a club with his jack-knife, lie started on the trail into the forcst. = About a mile in the woods he found bruin sitting on hishaunches with one of his legs al- most cut off by the trap he had been drawing, and as ugly as a bear could be. But the boy went for the animal with his cl_ul{, skillfully dodging his dives, and lu.mn‘; it at every'possible opportunity.

CeRSArY, Washington Special to the Republican. It is very ovident that congress next winter will have to come to the rescue of the army, and put a stop to the scandalous conduct of some of its ofticers, An accounting officer to the government said | to the Ropublican's corvespondent to-day that congress should call upon both the war department and the treasury depart- ment for all information possessed by them relating to the duplication of pay ccounts, He said that if furnished, this information would astonish not only the country, but even a largo majority of the officers of the army. ~ One of the most scandalous cases is the following, the facts concerning which are obtained from trustworthy authority: AN EXAMPLE, Some months ago an army officer tend- ered his resignation, to take effect six months after date on which the resignation was dated. He reg uutedal‘:slv‘: of absence for six wonths. The request three or four accounts for the six months. He disposed of these accounts to brokers in the vicinity of different army posts in vatious parts of the eountry, The brokers presented the accounts to the paymasters and they were promptly paid. Pay masters on far-off stations do not report each month, and even after their reports are made it takes time to audit the accounts here, Hence the fact that this | officer had duplicated his accounts was not discovered until a month or so before his resignation took effect. He was not allowed pny for the remaining time, but | the government's loss was by no means covered by the amount of pay stopped. He was, however, permitted to resign, a fact which conclusively shows that the war | departmentauthoritios are grossly neglect ful of their duties, and are showing remarkable leniency towards wrong: doors, | i — 1 Vertigo, Hysterics, Convulsions—all nervous disorders in fact—are cured by Samaritan Nervine, “This certifies,” writes D, D.

R IRISH WRETCHEDNESS, o of Epileptic fits,” At Scenes of Destitution and Squalor Misery in Its Worst Phases, A correspondent of The Philadelphia Press, writing from Galway, Ireland,says: Galway river drains the ~overflow from Lough Corrib, seven miles north. Its course is through the city of Galway. At @ point between the river and the bay, around which is a splendid sea wall, is the town of Claddaugh, within the cor- porate limits of the city of Galway. Fuit Ilium; Claddaugh was. Here lived for centuries all the fishermen of the bay of Galway. They were a law unto themselves. They hadaking. He, with five others, making a council of six, settled all disputes between their own people. In their best days, a fow years. ago, it is reckoned there were about 800 cabins on the point. In_procession they could turm out 1000 able-bodiedmen. The houses, which were all one-story thatched stone cabins, were so numerous and close together that there was no room for gar- dens. There was not a vegetable raised within five miles of Claddagh. Every household owned from one to three ‘‘hookers,” or small fishing vessels. The king always directed the fishing, which, being mostly for herring, was done at night. What of Claddagh of to-day? The fish- ermen of Galway yet live there, but it is not Claddagh as John W. Forney knew it, for instance. ~ Three-fourths of the Claddaghs emigrated. Nearly all those who remained have died out. ~ The fish- eries have been destroyed, and all are poor, wretchedly poor. There are scarce four hundred cabins left, and they are in a tumble-down condition. Not over fifty look at all thrifty. “‘Strangers, sir,” said the aged king, in showing me about the place, *‘from Con- nemara and elsewhere live in these houses now. Those neater houses, thank God are held by Claddaghs, thoroughbreds and their fathers before them.” I noticed many of these stone hovels and went in and inspected them. Such absolute poverty 1 mnever expect to see again. Nota few of them are but eight feet by twelve feet. In these live hus- band and wife and at least half a dozen children, and, whenever the man is rich enough to afford it, the pig, There were, of course, nofloors. It had been raining, and the ancient thatches leaking, there were mud puddles in many of these cabins. I saw several women sit huddled over a small coal of peat, feeding the cre thin, scrawny, and looked half- starved. Clothes they had not; a few rags were bundled around their persons from their knees up. One man told me that when the wlmie family went to sleep in the 8x10 cabin, on straw which was spread for the night, often the children lay close up against the pig for the sake of theanimals warmth. There are no_industries for the women or children. The husbands are barely able to keep them alive, much less clothe them. I need net describe the amount of laziness, dirt, and idleness concomitant with such circumstances. Consequent on this comes, alas! crime, immorality. It was unheard of in better days for a bas- tard to be born in Claddagh.” That high state of morals does not exist to-day. How could it? Two thousand people live there. How do they live?, Far worse than cared-for animals, It is an undeniable truth that very many of them do not have enough of straw to protect them from lying on the mother earth. They are not near so well fed as animals. Still, for the most part, they are moral, and ail are honest. They will not even steal food, which is not ‘yet determined in the field of casnistry to be a sin, On walking through the city 1 dis- covered the streets narrow, winding, and irregular. There are several mills; four, five, and six-story stone buildings that are entirely deserted. Mills that have such superior water-power that the bare rental cf them in America would be a fortune, stand grim, gaunt, idle, here on west coast of Ireland. The people are always moving about. They are restless, uneasy. They have little or no work. Their moving about so much is neither industry, thrift, nor business; it is ner- vous energy that must be expended. Women ‘and men may be seen in little knots at almost every door chatting idly, listlessly, wearily "hopelessly. They impress me as if some fatal pestilence was sweeping the town, and that. as death was inevitable, they had come out of their desolate houses to seek the consolation of each other's company. In wandering through the suburbs the scene was even worse, Rows and rows of wretched littleunplastered, and floorless straw-roofed rooms are the suburbs of Galway. Children clad in rags tied about them, " giving them the appearance of scarecrows stuifed with straw, were play- ing on the mud floors of these cheerless dwellings, The women looked almost starved. Their features were pinched, their cheeks hollow, and their eyes burned fiercely bright in their sunken sockets. The men were clad no better, though poor and insufticient diet had not told quite so badly on them as it did on the women and children, Beds! Yes, some of them 1 saw, too. They were straw spread on the ground in one corner of the hovels. There were no bedelothes, the old rags that they wore in the day serving as covering at night. That this was true of not a few here in a city where there is a grand harbor and splendid fishing is pitiful to contemplate. 1t is not, it can not be the fault of the people.
