The spirit Of pugilistic encounters seems not to
have entirely died out In this locality, and 1t is

VIII follow the night that recently occurred on the
sacred soil OF Virginia. Two men, John Keith,
descendant of lIreland, and John Mahan, q
native of this country, have for months past
Danoied words as to their physical ability, and
Nhleh was the superior man Of the two From
couragement Of friends, the parties concluded that
the surest and most decisive way to settle the dis
P9tea question WAS TO have set 70, and see
would come out OF Q fight victorious. Accord
lngly they agreed to have q meeting and display
with the prescribed rules Of the prize ring.
Regardless of the sscredness Ofthe day, yester-
day was fixed upon as the most suitable time for
the two men to meet and the fight to take place.
A few men were made cogniZant Of the time and
place, and, as they expressed It, of the fun In
prospect. The spot selected was on the Virginia
shore, to the rear Of Table Rock, where It was re-
Rarded that the bruisers might safely meet and
pummel each other to their hearts content, and
brutal sport Shortly after 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning the lovers Of this harmless pastime be-
gan assembling at the appointed spot, and by the
time the two principals reached the scene quite
crowd had assembled. Soon q space was cleared,
umpires and referee selected, q ring pitched, and
everything was in readiness for the ARRAY. The
quickly followed in person, and after the prelimi
nary ceurtesies were exchanged they began busI-
ness
In the first round each felt for the others weak
point, and soon commenced serious operations by
Keith placing blow on Mahan's nose.
The second round was especially noticeable by
Mahan going 10 grass from powerful blow by his
adversary.
For the third Mahan came up smilingly and
somewhat confident. He moved more cautiously,
and was not inclined TO give Keith any advantage;
a consequence lengthy sparring ensued, but
heavy blow on the frOntispiece, which brought the
claret in a stream. His second attempted to stop
the flow of blood, but Mahan was satisfied that hfs
opponent was his superior yielded without further
trial, and the sponge was thrown up in Keith's
favor and he was declared the winner after fight
ing half an hour. The exhibition being over the
party returned to Georgetown, and then sepa-
rated to their homes. The defeated exponent of
the art was not much hurt, but will probably feel
slightly sore and out of sorts to-day.

THE GEORGETOWN HOMICIDE.

An account was given in The NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN of Saturday Of the inquest on the body
of James Diggs, colOred boy, who died from
wound inflicted by John Curtis, alias Travers, on
last Wednesday night. On the Friday following
the accused delivered himself up at Lieutenant
Austin's station, (East Washington saying that
he had committed crime, and wished TO givehim-
self up. He said he had shot a boy in Georgetown,
and had since been staying about in Scagg's wood
near the camp meeting grounds and he hoped the
boy was not hurt. He was locked up, and Satur-
day morning taken to police headquarters, where
Lieutenant Hurley, of the Georgetown precinct,
recognized him, and told him that Diggs was dead
Curtis burst into tears and sObbed for some time
saying he was sorry for what had happened; that
he and Diggs were the best of friends and he had
no thought of hitting him when he fired the pistol,
his only motive being to frighten him away as he
tDiggSl had him (Curtis) down and was beating
him. He showed scars on his face. neck and ear
where he had been wounded in the fight. Lieu
tenant Hurley states that the boy has heretofore
borne good character, and has been at work
long time for Mr.. LightfOot, butcher. He is a
bright mulatto and Intelligent says heis fourteen
years of age, and that the pistol used was one he
paid dollar and quarter for last Christmas day.
He was taken back to the Eighth precinct station
for hearing in the Police Court to-day

Saturday night about ten o'clock, there was
considerable excitement in "the Corral" on q
