I THE FATALl PRfzE-F IGHT.-The. steamer
which left Philadelphia "Wednesday might
with the pugilists Wheedon and Walker and
their friends effected o. landing on the New
jersey shore. A ring was formed near
PENIS Grove, Nj, and the fight was COM
menced. It is said 1.-the sheriff made IN effort
to interfere. but was restrained by the mob.
After n stubborn fight OF siXty-two rounds
Wheedon was declared the victor. The She
riff notified. the crowd that he would follow
the principals. and such Of their abettors as
The could recognize,to Philadelphia, sand
prosecute them,to the,full extent OF the law.
Upon the receipt Of o telegram In Phlla-
delplia, from Sheriff Helm, OF Salem county,
Nd, to arrest, the principals in the prize
fight, Chief-of-P Police Jones, OF that city, di-
rectcd the lieutenant OF the police-tug to be
on the lookout for them, and also stationed
officers along the river front to await the
landing of the parties. The tug came across
the boat containing theroughs who had wit
messed thefght, and the officers searched the
same, but were unable to find the princi-
pals. 1t seems that after the gang had left
Penn's Grove they seized two small boats
and put the principals aboard. Wheedon, it
is said, was landed at Chester, and escaped.
Early last evening the dead body Of Walker
was found at Salt Wharf, Greenwich Point.
The news was conveyed to police head
quarters, and an investigation disclosed the
fact that q batteau containing three men
was seen about the wharf, and it is suspect
ed that the parties in it placed the body
ashore. The police are making every effort
to find the parties, rs well rs Wheedon, the
hackers, and all others in any way connect
ed with the fight. Wheedon, wherever he
is, Is said to be badly cut up. The dead
body of Walker was removed to his fathers
residence, ON south Second street. 1t pre-.
sents horrid sight, the face and neck being
battered and swollen out OF all proportion
A young man who aided in bringing
Walkers body to Philadelphia appeared al
police Headquarters late last evening. He
said after the fight Walker was laid on Q
table in the ring and every one deserted
him that he hailed party in boat about
pulling off and got them to assist him In
placing Walker on board. Walker was in
sensible at the time and remained so UP tc
the time OF his death, which occurred when
halfway up to the city. = Wdsh'ngton
