His aunt, who is comparatively poor, worked hard to sustain him, Bohannon has made a good showing as a student and has been preaching under a license. Near his home with Mrs. Holman lived Miss Vica Alfred with her parents, Mr. and Mrs, Max Fischer. They became friends. She is a pretty mirl of twenty and took a romantic intsrest in the blind preache:. Soon they were lovers. Bohannon persuaded her to rehounce her religion and become a Baptist.

The next morning Fischer came with a friendly message, saying his wife was prostrated by ~ excitement, and if the daughter would come to ber all would be forgiven. Mr. and Mrs. Bohannon, accom- panied by Mr.” Holman, returned with Mr. Fischer. Ounce in the house the daughter was asked to step into_the sick room, while the gentlemen waited in the parlor. No sooner was Mrs. Hohannon within the bed- room door than it was closed with a slam and asound of blows was heard.

Mr. Bohauson to-day got a writ of habeas corpus from Circuit Judge Jackson, Upon un attempt to use this he found the girl was not at Fischer’s house and the mother refuses to tell where she is. - T i R Reversed By the Secretary.

A Youthful St. Louls Pugilist Fights His Last Battle. IT WAS A BRUTAL ENCOUNTER. In the Twelfth Round Jackson Suc- cumbs to the Pounding Received From Ahcarn—Some Promi- nent People Implicated. Murdered for Thirty Dollars, St. Louts, Sept. 17.—A brutal prize fight cccurred in a saloon in this city last night which has resulted in the death of one of the participants. Thomas K. Jackson, well known in the local prize fighting circlos, was the victim. He was only eighteen years of age. Jackson fought with kd Ahcarn, a flocal light weight champion, eleven bloody rounds, and at the opening of the twelfth fell fainting into his second’s arms. The fight throughout was one of the most desperate battles ever witnessed in tho ring, science being lost sight of and give and take slugging marked the fight throughout, When Jackson fell unconscions he was carried to a room above the saloon and three physicians were called. They worked vig- orously, but without av ail, and at 11 o'clock Jackson died. ‘The chief of polico lias ordored the arrest of all parties concerned in the affair. The affair has created intes excitement, as prominent people will likely be- come involved, The refereo was tho sporting _editor of @ leading morning paper The spectators were principaily Pool alley sports, who made up the purse of #30 for which the men, or rather boys, con- tosted. Two-ounce gloves were used. Ahearn is a_gasfitter by ocoupation and a fighter by inclination. Jackson was known in sporting circles as Jack King, and his parents were ignorant of his pugilistic am- bition. An oye witness of the battle says it was one of the bloodiest contests he ever wit- nessed. After the first round science was entirely disregarded, The bodies of the men were striped and blotched with blood, their tights were staiued and their gloves slip- pery, both having bled freely from the nose and face, The crowd which contributed the 30 for which the men were fighting cheered them on while the floor was getting slippery from their blood. In the eleventh and last round both men wore 80 weak they could hardly stand up. Ahearn with an effort struck Jackson a swingiug blow, which floored nim, faliing on top of him from the impetus of his own blow. When time was called for the twelfth round Jackson was put on his feet and shoved for- ward by his seconds, but almostimmediately fell back unconsciove, His body, as scen at the morgue, presonts a horrible” appearance, The lips hang in shreds; the facs is one livid mass of battered human flesh, bluck and blue and terribly swollen. His chest does not show marks or bruises to auy great extent, 80'the man must have received all the blows on his face and head. Ahearn, the surviving principal, was ar- rested this afternoon.

Loxpoy, Sept. 17.—The advice of the lead- ers of the strike tothe dock laborers to observe all the provisious of the agreement under which they returned to work at first ap- peared to have been effectual. Early this morning the men appeared at the docks and went to work peaceably with the ‘*‘black legs,” the men who had taken their places during the strike. Later the strikers and “black legs” became involved in a disputo on the India dock, and the men who had been on strike droye the ‘‘black legs” out of the dock. The police interfered and quelled the disturbance. The strikers then withdrew and the ‘‘blacklegs” resumed Wwork.

One was for a sixty-foot viaduct the second for an cighty-foot viaduet, giving the abutting property owners the right to oc- cupy the ground in front of their property up to the viaduct; and the third a viaduct ono hundred feet in width, the full width of the stroot. Councilman Hascall stated railroad company could one cent of whatever money might be appropriated until the wviaduct and depot are built. He also stated tbat the Unien Pacifio would exort themselves to got the eastern roads to cross their bridge and come into the depot, as & business matter, to prevent another bridge from belng built. Janes Stephenson asked how it was pro- posed to adjust the damages for the various widths of viaducts. Hascall said that a number of proverty holders had said they would waive all dam- ages if a 60 foot viaduct was put in. Stopheuson turned to William Paxton and asked him if he would waive damages for any width of viaduct. Mr, Paxton replied that he would n Stephensoa then announced that he would waive all damages if u 100-foot viaduct was built, Paxton asked Hascall what his individual preference was. Hascall stated that he was in favor of a 100-foot viaduet first, last and all the time, but it was only a question of finance. If all the owners ‘of abutting property would waive damages he would be in favor of 100 feet, but if the damnges were to bo piled up he was in favor of six.y feot. Councilman Butler argued in favor of an S0-foot viaduct, 80 as togive property owners light and air tor their buildings. D, C. Patterson said he would waive all damages for a sixty-foot and thought he would for an_eighty-foot viaduct. Herman iCountze stated that 100 feet would be his preference, but when it came to the question of feasibility he was in doubt whether the city could afford to build a via- duct 100 feet in width, ‘“‘But it scems to me like o plain business proposition,’” saia Mr, Kountze. *“If the railroad. company will build a depot on condition that we putin a viaduct, we cuzht to accept.” C. I, Goodman said if a majority of the people want a 100-foot viaduct, and we can raise the money, it should be built. Jim Stephenson thought 100 feet would be necessary to accommodate the trafe. He hoved the plot of a few property holders to wet hold of a few feet of property by having @ narrow viaduct, would be knocked in the head. The council has no right to gi streats away for any other purpose, After u little wore argument pro and con, the matter was put to a vote. The three propositions were put separat yand it was finally settled as being the sense of the meeting that a report should be made in favor of a viaduc! y feet 1n wadth, and allowing property owners to use the inter- vening ten feet for buildings or for light and ventilation, The proposition decided upon will g! viaduet with a roadway sixty f of Tenth st on each side ten fc ing ten feet on cach side of ands. that not the touch AN IMPORTANT CASE. A Bill That Will Be Fil, Startes Coury Tq To-day Hon: J. L. Caldwell, of Lincoln, will file a bill in equity in the United States court in the case of the Western U] graph company vs the Union Pacific roaa. It will he remembered that some time last spring the Union Pacific announced that under the provisions of an act of congress it proposed to take possession of all telograph lines along and on its right of way and operate them. The Western Union company remonstrated and applied to Judge Brewer, of the United States cireuit court, for an in- junction restraiing the Union Pacitic from taling passcssion or confiscating any hines in use by the former. The matter was flnally, by mutual consent, referred to the attorney general for a settlement, but appears through some failure on the part of Mr. Garland, to have gotten back into the courts. Under the provisions of an agroement made in 1862 yeurs ago by the Union Pacific that corporation agreed to maintain and op- erute aline of telegraph along its right of way and to employ its own operators and agents, and to furnish the government and the public meaus for the transmission of messages, subject to the control of congress, according to an a; ement made, by which the governmont, lands and loaned money to the eu he Union Pacifi in violation of its cont ment, granted to the West clusive right 1o sond all ms over its right of way, thereby aiving the monopoly of the business and depriving the government of the use of the line to which it ud 15 entitled. Congress put in_a protest approved by President Cleveland in 1888 sisted that the Union Pacific should adk to the provisions of t| greement m with the governmeat. The railroad company, fearful of the results which might follow if the mandate of the national excentive body were disregarded, at once took steps to annul the contract with the Westers Union, which was made 1n 1851, whereupon the lat- ter applied for an ivjunction in the United States circuit court, Mr. Caldwell, who ity, has been Jtect its inte Lin the United Union the ex- and by an act 15 an attorney of abil- hosen by the government to y ts.

Tho first event of the session was the presentation of @ com- munication from J, A. Naugle & Co,, in which sdtne very plain remarks were made atout Chairman Balcombo, of the board of public works. The petitioners alleged that Major Balcomve has repeatedly expressed his opposition to all kinds of wood pave- ment; that he is sg badly prejudiced that he can not fiu superintend the inspection of such work; that_Le has ro- fused to transmit instructions to his in- spectors that ve been adopted by the board; that he b declared that he will make the rules of inspection so severe that uray and Naugle will find it unprofitable to carry out their contracts. In view of these facts the petitioners asked for the appoint- ment of a apecial committee of the council to mspect their work and to investigate the charges made against the chairman of the bourd of public works. The petition was granted and Messrs. Bailey, Sander, Kaspar, Shriver, Counsman and Suyder appoioted s the special committe Then a letter was received from the park commissioners replying to the resolution of the council protesting against the cutting down of trees in Hanscom park.
