WASHINGTON Jan. 3.-The bottom fell out OF the
Oregon fraud to-day. Mr. CrOnin put his foot in 1t
as sOon as he was placed in the witness stand by
Senator Mortons committee; in fact, not only in it,
but clear through it. He acknowledged that for his
share in the business he received $4,000 from the
chairman of the Democratic State Committee, and
that the scheme was first broached by man named
Patrick, who he understood to be Gov. Tilden's
extreme Western agent" The question of right
never entered his mind. He artlessy replied TO an
inquiry on this point that it was with him simply

A NEW DEPARTURE IN ART. -OJg0oF,
HciiOtype EnTGrings.-We have been
handed by Messra. Stanton < Davenport
several Of OsgOod's Heliotype Prints, re-
producing as many masterpieces in The
most exact and faithful manner. The
Heliotype process has initiated a new de-
parture in art. It multiplies, for the
culture and qualification Of all who car
fifty appreciate them, the rare works Of
the old masters, and gives to Rembrandt
Durer, Correggio, Landseer and other
renowned artists OF past centuries, con,
temporary fame and interest by reyiving
for this generation the masterpieces which
won for them the admiration OF former
ages and name for all time.
The HeliotyEes are sold at the low
price Of one dollar by the leading book,
sellers in all the principal cities, where
they receive more exclusive attention
than from picture dealers.
Stanton & Davenport have been ap.
pointed retail agents for Wheeling, and
will always be glad to show these Hello
types TO all who have an interest in art
We hope these gentlemen may do much
toward Cultivating taste for the beaati-
ful ard refined things Of this life, as our
city needs an education In this direction
worse than any place Of its size and age
that We know OF.

A CHAMPION Doc FIGHT.-The sport.
ing fraternity Of the city have for some
time past been In q state OF fermentation
over . dog fight which was to take place
In Centre Wheeling for S25 per side. II
was well known and generally understood
that the contesting CANNES belonged
respectively 10 D. ]. McCormick and Jake
Watson, who are we'll known in sporting
circles. For some time plst the most IN.
observing street car passenger must have
noticed the frequency with which bull
purps have been toWed behind car, al.
though they might not have understood
the real object Of such proceeding, II
seems that the purps thus pulled 70 and
fro over the railway "Were In training"
which means, we suppose, that such
aipsoceeding was rendered necessary in
order to reduce them to their fighting
weight. The battle was fought yesterday,
and although the contest was kept relig-
iously secret, we are enabled 10 give our
readers some details. McCormick's dog
got away with Walson's in short order,
but Jake was game to the last and wanted
to bet $50 additional that his dog would
win. McCormlck's dog nearly chewed up
one leg, and broke another, Of Jake'S,
when the battle was declared in favor Of
Mccormick and his dog, or rather the
dog and Mccormick.
Now let US have done with such
"sPort," II such II be called. We depre.
cate all such cold.blooded arrangements.
Our sympathieS are with the dogs, who
generally are more intelligent and sym.
pathetic than those unpFincipled men
who prepare them for such contests.

were treated, yesterday afternoon, 70 one
OF the finest games Of base ball ever played
on the Fair Grounds. The reputation Of
the indianapolis club, as one OF the beat
mines, outside Of the Lesgue, and the re-
markable game played by them In ALE.
gheny, on Wednesday last, left but little
doubt In the minds Of the base ball fra.
ternity oil this city, that the Standards
would meet with 4 perfect Waterloo. The
friends Of the home club were even more
confident that they would not be able 70
make any show against the "HooSiers"
when II became known that Lane had
failed to put in an appearance and that
Lukens would catch instead. Neither
club scored until the 9th inning, the
HooSiers then making two runs. The
Standards scored their only run in the
9th inning, wilkinson scoring on wild
pitch OF Nolan's. Vennum's pitching was
very effective, the visitors only making
four base hits. Harry LukenS deserves
commendable mention for his exceedingly
fine catching, he playing the entire nine
innings without a passed ball. Wilkin.

ASERIous RuNAwAY.-Yesterday af.
ternoon a horse belonging to Mr.. E. J.
Stone was frightened on the Island, and
ran of. The horse made for the bridge
and trotting across found the iron gates
at the east end closed aginst him. How.
ever, nothing daunted, he continued his
headlong course, and ran plump against
the gates, probably expecting them to
give way before him. They did, but the
animal rushed against the iron bars with
such force that his hesd was nearly split
open. It is probable that the animal will
have 10 be killed.
