The fight was witnessed number of sporting celebrities prominent men of New York and vicinity, who were especially invited to attend. ~ The pugilists ave both Kng- lishinen, and have cach had several ring contests, in most of which they have been successful, Tho present matcl was made September 17 last, between William Madden for Mitchell and Arthur Cham- bers for Sheriff, the conditions being 81,000, six rounds, Marquis of Queens- bury rules, science and endurance Mitchell had been in training at Fi rroway two weeks; Sheriff, under the care ef Chambers, the same length of time at Philadelphia. Mitchell, his trainer and Billy Madden entered the ring at 5:40 and was closely followed by “The Prussian” and his seconds, Arthar Chambers and Billy Edwards. Both men appeared in good condition. Mitch- ell won the toss for position and selected the southwestern corner of the ring. At 5:62 the men advanced to the conter of the ring and shook hands and imme- diately jut themselves in position and the fight commenced. FIRST ROUND, The fivst part of three minutes allowed for the round was spent in incflective spar- ring for opening. Mitchell got in the first blow upon Sheriff's stomach, fol- lowing it with a stiff right hander on the chin. Sheriff countered on Mitchell's cheel, and also landed a heavy right hander ou the face. Mitchell returned the compliment with a_good one on the breast, and time was called. SECOND ROU After a little sparring Sheriff let fly his right at Mitchell's face, but was well stopped. He got in, however, two heavy right handers without much effect. Mitchell made a play with the left, but it was short. Gauging lis distance bet- ter, Mitche 1 followed with a left hander which reached its destination, landing on the sweller and tapping the claret. The men now got to close quarters. Fight- ing was about even in delivery and ef- fectiveness. The bead was the objective point of each when the arms dropped at the call of time. THIRD ROUND.

L LENT HOUSE CIGARS. The New Law in Operation in New York City. New York, October 2.—The Cigar Manufacturers’ association has issued an address to its members relative to the new law which went into effect yesterday. day. The law relates only to_the city of New York and makes it a misdemeanor subject to fine and arrest penalty to manufacture cigars in the living rooms of tenement houses. For many years millions of cigars have been made in the very rooms where workmen, their ‘wives and children ate and slept. There are now 1,926 families living in tenement houses in New York engaged in manu- facturing cigars. These families number over 5,600 persons. The cigar manufac- turers’ association notifies all landlords of tenement houses used for that pur- poses that special rooms must bo set apart in each buildir free of rent for the manufacture of cigars, that no to- baceo will be delivered at the roows as heretofor The law is being enforced by the action of a fow energetic citizens, who have begun suits agamst the keepers of tenement houses. e —— A POLITICAL JOKE, The Reported Illness of Governor Sherman a Pure Invention. Des Moines, October 2.—The dispatch sent to the associated press from Ma- quoketa, telling of Gevernor Sherman being taken sick there yesterday, while in joint debate with Mr. Kinne, is a pure falsitication, without a particle of truth for foundation. Governor Sherman was at DeWitt yesterday, where he held a joint discussion with Kinne in the after- noon. He left in the evening and is in Des Moines, on his way to Newton, where he speaks to- mght. Ho has not been in Maquoketa during this campaign, nor for threo years. He is in good health, though much worn by reasen of making two speeches a day and traveling at night. The dispatch sent from Maquoketa is a pure canard and the matter will be investigated by the officers of the associated press, as there is no agent of the association at that point.

Niw Yok, October 2.—The Evening Post says: Our special correspondent has gonc over the corn district west and north of Chicago and as far as St. Paul, during the past week, and gives it as the opinion of the best ~farmers and mer- chants that the damage to the corn crop is largely overestimated; that if corn does not actually frecze before it dries out, thero wili be an abundant crop, even in the frosted districts; also that there is avery large supply of old corn in the country yet. — The True State of Affairs, Cuicaco, October 2,—Respecting the controversy between the German dailies of this city, the following is understood to be the correct statement of facts: tichard Michaelis, of The Freie Press, mwade complaint in the columns of his pape inst August Spies, editor of The Arbiter Zvitung, plainly charging him with being a thief and accessory toa man- slaughte Spies had Michaelis arrested iminal libel, and on a repetition of the published charges had Michaelis ar- rested a second time.

The Raload Conidate tor Supreme Judge Fixed on the Question of Fences, The Managers Only Waiting to Elect Their Man to Take the Fence Law to Court, Poor Humphrey, of Pawnee, De~ clares War on Weaver's Po- litioal Future, The Cloven Foot of Phillips Mens- ured [for ¢ ernor Dawes' Brogans. Correspondence of Tik Bex, Pawnee Ciry, Neb., October 1.—The politicians of “Old Pawnee” are all broke up, 80 to speak. Poor Humphrey, after being promised the support of the Bur~ lington & Missouri railroad for Supreme Judge, comes back shorn, a wiser but a sadder man, Weaver, whom Humphrey says had promised great things, turned his Congressional back upon the Speaker and was for Reese, and now the cry is for gore. The doughty captain calls for nothing but entrails; he lives but for paunches and vennets; the Burlington & Missouri railroad stuffing he proposes to kuock out at all times, and that of Mr. Weaver when the time comes for action; and music is promised all alone the line. ‘10 THINK WHAT I'VE DONE FOR THEM, and then see how I am rewarded,” howls the enraged Speaker. And he is right. No man deserved so much at the handsof the Burlington & Missouri, and yet he nover even got a smile from them. Governor Butler has got his coat off, and is hard at work for Broady for Judge, and for our Anti-monopoly ticket, the strong names composing which you have nlrcwdi published. And that ticket will be elected too. Gov. Butler will boa strong candidate for Governor next year and expeots to win, I am re- liably informed that the B. & M. have it “loaded in" for Dawes and the nomina- tion of Reese for Supreme Judge and Colby for District Judge (over Davidson whom Nance had appointed) is but the preliminary struggle of the great battle yot to come, A well-posted Lincolnite told me last week that Phillips, the B. & M. boss, would be the B, AND M. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR and the effort would be made to capture Lancaster early for Phillips so as to give him a boom and an_opportunity to work elsewhere later. ‘‘Lancaster 26 votes for Phillips” would sound big. The B, &M. and may-hap the Union Pacific, dislike Dawes very much, particularly the former. His re :ommendation on the pass question was what started the ball. If Dawes had been far-seeing enough to have assessed those lines at $25,000 per mile he could casily have succeeded himself without a nommation, but the golden opportunity has gone from him forever and it is doubtful whether he can stem the tide of railroad disfavor aided by two or three of the Congressionol delegation. I had but a day at Lincoln but in that time an im- portant item fell upon my ears and the trac- g of the rumor }ur a block or two and the subsequent actions of the railroad strikers leaves no donbt of the fact that the railroad companies are making a desperate effort TO CONTROL THE SUPREME COURT. What for! Has Tue Bee read the act of the last legislature compelling railroad companies to fence their lines of road within_six months of the passago of the act! That time has nearly passed and no fencing has been done and none will be built either. They propose to con- test that matter before the courts and any man who knew that the law was un- constitutional was just their fellow for supreme judge, and they have made no mistake, This was the trouble with Capt. Humphrey's candidacy. He could not be counted upon to decile the ques- tion the way they wanted it decided; hence they were for some other fellow who could tell beforehand. THE SAVAGE BOOM down here takes like wildfire, and now it fairly crackles. Pawnee is not a heavy voter, but she promises to be awful solid against any scheme to take charge of the supreme court, 1 havo almost forgotten to tell you that the Republican county convention unan- imously passed the following' resolution: Waugreas, It is conceded that harmony is one of the essentials to success, and be- lieving it to be dangerovs to the best in- torests and success of the Republican party to place in nomination for district judge, Col.
