DEATH IN THE RING.-The Star has
already published an account of the fatal
prize fight near Cayuga Lake. We
gather the following additional particu-
lars from the Ovid Bee:
Tho parties had been boasting of their
prowess for long time, each claiming
that he could whip the other, and finally
they. made an arrangement to fight at
Farmerville Constable Connover, how
ever, notified them that they would be
arrested if they did so, and induced them
to shake hands and say, "quits" The
same evening gambler and desperate,
cart" Wood, of Ovid, who had put
himself forward as Donley's hacker, in
duced the parties to change their friend
ly purpose, and fight was made up for
$40 side. On Saturday last the par
ties, with their seconds and others, went
to tho place designated to have it out.
A rope was stretched, and the two
pugilists shook hands preliminary to en-
tering the ring. For some reason Nc
Graw did not wait, but commenced the
fight during the hand-shaking, and dealt
his blows SO powerfully that Donley, af-
ter being knocked down three or four
times, retreated, saying that he had had
enough. But cart" Wood, his second,
took revolver from his pocket and told
him he must whip McGraw, and at the
same time informing the bystanders that
he would shoot any one who interfcred.
Donley returned, seized McGraw by
the collar, and kicked him. The kick
caused McGraw to bend over, and as he
did so, Donley hit him on the neck with
all the force he could command. The
blow burst an artery, and McGraw died
in two minutes. When lie fell, aud by
ISLANDERS exclaimed that he was dead, the
notorious cart" swore that he wasn't
dead and offered to back up his assertion
by bet of S25. Directly, cart"
started Donley off ON his own horse, and
he got out of reach as soon as possible.
He went to ravine near Ovid, left his
horse, and concealed himself We hear
that he was found in the ravine on Mon
day, disabled, having fallen from cliff.
Farmeville is notorious for bloody af-
trays. Only two years ago one man was
pounded to death there by another, and
afterward acquitted on oath ON the
ground .Aat he did it in self defence.

SAD AFFAIR - SEDUCTION OF A
YOUNG GIRL BY HER BRoTHER-IN-
HLAw.-Aboat twelve O'clock on Saturl
day morning last, man, (whose name
with that of the young girl is suppressed
for obvious reasons, but whom We shall
designate as R.0 apparently about thir-
ty-fve years of age accompanied by d
girl not moro than sixteen years of age,
put up at the Waverley House on King
street, representing themselves as man
aud wife. It was remarked that the
girl appeared to be Too young for his
wife, but no suspicion that she was 9TH
erwise than was represented entered the
minds of any who observed and CON-
mented upon her girlish looks.
About nine o'clock Sunday morning
Captain Hendricks, Chief of Police, re-
ccived u telegram from Fayetteville,
North Carolina, announcing the elope-
ment Of married man with his sister
in-law, and requesting him to be on the
look out, as it was thought that the
couple had come to this place. A de-
scription of the parties accompanied the
request. Captain Hendricks detailed
Officer Reed to work up the case. After
lspme little, but very shrewd investiga-
tion, he found the couple, and arrested
them. The girl was sent home by the
Northeastern Railroad yesterday morn
ing. The villain who had ruined her is
for the present allowed to escape the
punishment he SO richly deserves. He
is represented to be a handsome man
with winning address. The girl is un-
usually pretty. "
!. r. some years since married the old
est of three sisters in one of the most
respectable families in Fayetteville. She
died shortly after marriage, and, after a
reasonable length of time, he married
the next oldest, who is still living, and
has borne several children to him.
While thus situated he corrupted the
youngest sister. and about week ago
ran off with her. gaAs soon as the elope-
II cnt was known there was great excite
ment in Fayetteville, aud the citizens
subscribed literally to defray the ex-
penses of party organized to pursue
the william aud rescue his dupe from his
clutches. The party went to Augusta,
Atlanta and other places, but heard
nothing Of them until their arrest here
on Sunday.
The restoration of this crring girl to
the arms of her parents is due altogeth.
