which a woman figured conspicuously.
During the controversy Mr.. Anderson,
who was intoxicated, drew his pistol and
fred enc shot at Mr.. Warman, but the
ball few wide of its rark. Earlier in
the day Mr.. Anderson received the fol.
lowing note from Mr.. Wsrman, which
note no doubt precipitated the difficulty:

Morning.
-Four days ago John P. Lallemand left
with his friend. Mons. Philbert, on JEFF
ferson street, a tote in which he briefly
stated that be would in a few short hours
terminate his earthly existence, and
leaving a last kiss for bis daughter. he
was seen on Sunday aud yesterday, aud
it was generally supposed, that although
he was somewhat crazy from some cause
or other, that be would not commit the
crime Of Seltmurder, because be had
threatened SO to do many q time and oft
before.
This morning Mr.. Lallemand was
brought ts the ststion-house aud was
turned loose in the back yard, he not ap-
pearing to be in a dangerous mood.
About ten o'clock an cutlery was heard
in the back yard, and when the station
house officials rushed back they found
the dead body Of Mr.. Lallemand on the
brick pavement.
The unfortunate and crazy man had
gone up to the balcony or platform which
leads to the cells in the second story Of
the prison, aud climbing up on the rail-
ing precipitated himself head foremost
down on the pavement below. His head
was crashed like a shell, and death was
produced instantsneously. His body
was taken charge of by his friends for
interment. Mr.. Lallemand was an old
resident Of this city. He vas formerly
sexton of Calvary church, and belonged
to the Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges.
For some time he, with ais wife, kept a
furniture store and mattress factory on
Second street, near Union. OF late, from
causes said to be domestic troubles and
drink, he became unsound in mind, and
seemed to be fatally bent on committing
suicide. As Charles Dickens in Little
Dorritt says: He has gone before the
Father, far beyond the twilight judg-
ments OF this world; high above its mists
and obscurities."

Another Sponge Goes Up
Late yesterday afternoon a crowd of
buffers and thumpers who believe in the
pIayed-out manly art of sslf-defebse, rem
dered disgrsceful by the many sold.out
fights between professional light and
heavy weights, assembled at the mouth
Of Wolf river, and, securing skifs rowed
to Arkansas for the purpose Of wit
Messing a prizs fight between two river
men named Mike Cox and - Riguey
The men had fallen out about a girl and
they determined to settle the matter, not
under the rules of the code duello, but
under the rules OF the London prizs ring
between ropes-Ond with seconds, bot
tie holders, referees, etc.
Arriving at Hoptfeld a suitable spot
was selected by the seconds and the men
stripped. Time was called and the first
aud last round commenced. After some
awkward sparring and shy fighting Cox
got in his right on Rigney's body, but
was met and stopped with a return in
the face, which brought the first blood.
Some rapid fighting took place, Rigney
showing up some science and having it
all his 2wn way. A shot from the right
shoulder struck Cox on the pepper, and
he went to grass, never to return. The
fight was over and Cox's seconds threw
up the sponge, their man having been
beaten. The men thcn shook hands and
the party returned to the city. The
bruisers we're satisfied, but the crowd
disappointed at not witnessing a bet
ter aud a longer combat.

Warming al Due West.

The Due West congregation visited
the parsonage last week carrying to
their pastor some three hundred dol
lars worth of valuables, as q work OF
their esteem. This was a house-warm-
ing which did credit to both pastor and
people. Rev. Mr.. Pressly, the pastor,
is II of the best me We ever knew,
and we are pleased that the people OF
Due West have given this manifesto
ton of their appreciation of his servi-
ces. A correspondent of the Il. Il. 7.
says:
The Amelian Society of the Female Col
lecc presented a fine family Bible, and
the students of Erskine 4 cloth coat and
gold pen, 4 variety of things We're piled
up in front of the house on a stand and
OH the spacious earth. Everything use
full for a family seemed to be there. 1t
would be folly to give a list of the goods.
We saw articles OF comfort for the body,
from the crown Of the head to the sole OF
the foot. Also to occupy any place be-
tween the head Of the family and the
Youngest child, or between the garnet and
the back door of the culinary department.
About $500 worth of goods lay promiscu-
ously around the door. The pastor and
his family seemed to want Ill explanation
Of the strange phenomenon.
DR.. Grier arose to explain. He told the
pastor that it meant good. That it was u
house-warming or donation party. That
the people Of the community desired to
express their high appreciation of his ser
vices in this way. That the people would
soon disperse and not consume what they
brought.
The pastor then said that he apprecia-
ted the gifts, for they were given because
he is a servant of Christ.
DIR. Boyce told us how these things
would warm the house. He did not
think strange that the pastor and his fam
lily seemed a little embarrassed. He
thought that he could not stand such a
display at his house. He also said that
their pastor had often told them plainly
of their faults, and he supposed that here
after that he would be ever more bold
and tell them more sharply Of their sins.
DIR. Bonner made u few pleasant re-
marks, but differed a little from DR..
Boycc, and was of the opinion that he
could deport himself finely even If his
own house were warmed.
The speeches were mtcrspersed with a
vein Of wit and suitable Thoughts Of char
ity:,
