A LIVELY FIGHT IN SARA

A Massachusetts, Man Attacks a
Georgia Judge Rattling Blows
From the Shoulders Blood
Drawn-A Possible
Duel.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. l9.-An
exciting tracus occurred here to-
day at the Grand Union Hotel.
Tho parties involved were Judge
Schley of Savannah, Ca, and John
A. kernochan of Massachusetts. 1t
seems that II short time ago a case
involving large amount OF prop
eIty, in which Mr.. kernochan was
interested, was decided by Judge
Schlcy adversely to the interests
Of Mr.. kernochaI. The decision
made hlm very angry. His first
vengeance fell upon his lawyers,
who he charged had not dealt fair.
ly 10y him. Meantime the Judge
had come north to Saratoga, and
has been for several days guest
at the Grand Union Hotel. Mr..
kernochan also came to Saratoga,
as Is now supposed, to punished
the Judge. At about hali-past 10
this molniug and when large
number of ladies and gentlemen
were upon the piazzas and in the
corridors, Judge Schley and Mr..
kernochan met each other near the
doorway leading from the main
office and upon the north piazza
Mr.. kernochan, who is man
about 3S years old, accosted the
Judge IN a very menacing manner,
and after a few words struck hlm a
heavy blow with his fist in the
face, staggering him and scattering
his eye glasses over the pavement.
The Judge soon recovered and
struck powerful blow back, cut
ting kernOchan's face and making
the blood flow. Several exchanges
were made by each party, the Judge
having the best OF II, punished his
assailant pretty badly. BY this
time there was great excitement;
women screamed and men swore.
Finally the belligcrents were sepa-
rated, each as angry as a fighting
school-boy. Soon afterward Mr..
Kernochan approached the Judge,
and with good deal of stern and
cold politehess handed him his
card, whereupon the Judge said in
a most withering manner, "Keep
your card, young man, | don't want
your card, | can whip you any
time"
This is the present ending Of the
matter; what else may occur 1t is
difficult TO surmise, as Kernochan
Is a frey fellow, and has come
here with blood in his eye to do
mischief.

The heavy log chain binding the
derrick WAS cut by tho flying mis-
sizes into dozen piecns, and the
farm, upon which u stone could not
have been found previous TO this
phenomenon, was literally covered
with large and small ones.
The velocity Of this discharge
continued for eight or ten hours
without intermissIon, when tho
monster was found to have spent
his fury, and the stream and noise
gradually subsidized. The crops of
Mr.. IIahan were completely de-
stroyed by the falling debris and
the streams Of water which ran in
all directions. Many people visI-
ted the wei, and many are still
coming, and Mr.. Hahn, to restore
as nearly as possible his loss, has
inclosed the well within rail fence,
and charges the mod Jrate sum OF
five cents for the satisfaction of in
dlvijual curiosity. The water, stlll
bubbling, may be seen at great
depth by the aid Of Il mirror, which
reflects the suns rays into its
depths.

Pooling With a Whirlwind.

A farmer who lives about five
miles northwest OF FarIbault, Wis,
by the name of Samuel Johnson,
was going along the road Saturday
last, Shon suddenly a whirl wind,
which described a sircle apparent.
ly not more than three feet in di-
ametcr appeared IN the road in
front of him. 1t took up the dust
pretty lively and buzzed like n
swarm Of bees, but Mr.. johnson
kept on his way directly towards
it, thinking it had no great amount
Of power. In fact, he did not think
it worth his while 10 step one side
to let 1t whirl past, but kept straight
on and met it square III the road.
When they came together the
whlrlwind seemed to drop every
thing else and take hold of Mr..
johnson, and in less time than 1t
takes to tell 1t Mr.. Johnson had
lost his hat AMI his shirt, and was
pitched about twenty feet INTO n
gutter, feeling as though ho had
been shocked by battery. 1t
was rough experience, and Mr..
johnson will never fool with u
whirlwind again.

A Kentucky Bridal Tour.

The Louisville Courier.Journal
tells the following: There came
one day to a little inland town in
Kentucky young rural couple
who had just been bound by "the
sllken bonds" Their destination
was the depot, and the bridegroom
was evidently quito impatient for
fear the train should arrive before
he could reach the Office. Buying
ono ticket they stood on the plat
form until tho train had stop
ped, when they entered the car, the
bridegroom found his BRIDE seat,
kissed her most aflectionately, bade
hor goodbye" and going out,
seated himself on goods box and
commenced whiting most vigor-
ously. lie watched the train out
OF sight, regret depicted on his face,
when a bystander, thinking the
whole proceeding rather strange,
resolved to interview him. APP
preaching him carelessIy, and chew
ing a straw to keep up his courage,
he said:
"Boen getting married lately 2"
Yes," said he, "me and SalIic
got spIiced this mornin."
"Was that her you put on the
train z"
"Yos," with sigh.
"A likely looking GAL said our
questloner. "Anybody sick that
she had to 90 away ?"
no. but here he grew contden-

heard that everybody when they
got married took a bridal tour.
So tCld Salhe | hadn't money
enough for both Of us to 60, but
she shouldn't be knocked out OF

here, bought her ticket and sent
her on visit to some OF her folks,
and thought | might get some work
harvestin' TIL she got back" An
audible smile went around among
those who were standing near, but
our friend was too much absorbed
in remembrances of Sallie to be
conscious Of it. That afternoon
found him busily at work, and
when in II day or two after, Sallie
came back, he welcomed her cor
