tue Train started. About two miles from the city the
train then PROCEEDED to Kus about eevsn miles
nom Mobile, where the crowd disembarked. The
ring was formed near the railroad In an open space,
amid loud cheers. Shortly afterwards Turner threw
his IN. Upon the toss Up Turner won the corner and
tain Melville, Of Mobile was chosen referee and
Captain Jim Jewell Of Montgomery, umpire At
seven O'Clock the men advanced to the scratch
with their seconds, all shaking hands. Donelly
then advanced to Turner and offered to bot 500
upon the light which was accepted. In few
followed q fight which speaks well for the
bravery OF these men. During the greater part OF
the time ponelly forced the lighting on Turner who
tenacl0usly stuck to his corner II was very evident
from the beginning that large portion OF the crowd
favored Doney, and IL was noticeable fact that hts
second and timekeeper displayed their pistols very
conspicuously For more than an hour victory
seemed certain for D0nelly, but Turner preserved
his camness and after exhausting him commenced
striking some very severe blows on Donelly's face
and In short time his eyes began to close up while
his nose and mouth were badly bruised and bleed
ing. On the seventy-third round Turner struck
Donelly very severe blow on the head, completely
disabling his left hand. Both men came
ana kns eacn onei un, The
seventh round, when Donelly failed to
come TO time, and Turner was declared the winner.
AT this Juncture a row between the friends Of the
Two men was very IMMINENT and nearly all the
quiet citizens LETT the ring Better counsel prevailed,
however, and some degree OF order was restored.
Donelly was pttful object to look at after the
nght, with his face and eyes bruised and swollen.
He appeared very cheerful and seemed 10 think that
he would whip the next time. Thousands of dollars
were bet on the fight, and some OF the losers were
very loud Ia their denunciati0ns the referee for
his decision.
The Impressions formed by us on this occasion
are very unlayorabe to this sport ana now that it
seems that the South has been chosen as the battle
ground Tor these pugliIstsswe hope that q healthy
moral sentiment VIII prevail among our people
against it.

Johnny C0Oper's "Queer'' Coup d,Etat in
Newank.

Newark.
Some weeks ago 1t came TO the ears OF a certain
detective located at Newark n. j. In the service of
the United States, that one Johnny Cooper was
pushing the queer" as passing counterfeit money
ID called IN the yernacular OF the profession. Ac-
cordtngy he set 70 work to catch Johnny in
the act; for, by the way, it may be stated
en- pdSSdt that the detective alluded TO
Is notorious for the clean way in which he invari-
ably nails wrong-doers OF this stripe. One Gus
Zeruth was pressed into service and instructed to
clay" for Johnny and induce him to sell quantity
OF eounierfei, money. An interview was had aud
the arrangement made for the purchase OF $3.50 IN
queer for seventy i've dollars In good money. In due
time Inc transaction was completed il saloon III
william street, Zeruth getting nicely done-up
package and Johnny his seventy-Gve dollars. Zeruth.
determined not TO buy ''pig in a pOke,' tore
SIP Oh the package covering on top and
peneaa, and there, sure enough, were ex-
Cenent greennack limitations. Gus left
perIeouy satisfied, but shortly afterwards
returned IN hlgn dudgeon, ana presenting pistol
~ johnny uenanAed the restitution OF the seventy
nVe dOHars' he mad discovered that with the ex-
ceptl0n Oh one and two dollar bill the remainder
OF MS purchase proved to be brown paper. Johnny
declined refunding the money and indeed told
Gus" In terms not particularly elegant that he
was not all absolute fool-such a ed ID
nat" To avoid any trouble, while Zeruth was
talking 10 some one at the bar Johnny slinned
out the back way. 1t seems he got wind OF the iob
that was being put up for his benefit.
