JEFFERsoNvILLE, Feb. I7.-For the last 10
years an old feud has existed between two
young Germans named Little and
Kleespier, which has been the cause of
several terribly contested hand-to-hand
fights. Last night they met again
on Spring street, and without any words they
coo.ly and deliberately pulled their coats and
fought like bull dogs, and until both were ter
ribly beaten and completely exhausted. Lit
tie, it is said, succeeded in getting away with
Kleespier after the most bitter hand-to-hand
fight ever witnessed in this city.
The public school buildings of late
have not been opened until within

George Washington, the negro who raped
little Frances Otte in Louisville, and who fled

fenced to be hung next week, now

after he is hung he will be
restored to life again by means of a galvanic
battery. To-day he laughed about the trans
action and warned the doctors not to wait too
long before they applied the instruments.

Special to the Sentinel:
WASHINGTON. Feb 1.-THE river and har-
Dor appropriation bill passed the house, under
a suspension of the rules. by a vote of 11S yeas
to 73 nays. 1t appropriates the aggregate
8. 5.S00000.
The Senate have under consideration the
reduction of the tax on tobacco, with proba-
biIity of the bill passing to night.
Opinions are about equally divided as to
whether the president will exercise the veto
power to prevent the anti-Chinese bill becom-
ing law. Secretary Evarts will use his infiu-
ence to have 1t vetoed. Should this be decided
on in the cabinet tomorrow, 1t will be done
without reference to the merits of the BILL but
upon the ground that the State department
are already engaged in what promises to be a
successful negotiation for modification of
the Burlingame treaty, having for its object
the same result as accom- plished by the bill,
Secretary Evarts is reported as saying that the
abrogation OF any one of the articles of the
treaty on our part without due notice is a
breach of faith that calls for the severest CEN
sure.
J. W. Sinlonton, general agent of the AssO-
ciated Press, made a statement before the Sem
ate committee who are engaged in the con-
sderation of Senator Jones' railroad telegraph
bill, in which he sought to show that the
association was in no sense monopoly, and
that its prosperity was in no wise due TO any
Evorftism shown it by the Western Union
company, and that any interference by the
Government would not tend TO lessen the
telegraph rates, but on the contrary, strength
the ASSOCIATION. The opinion prevails that the
bill will pass.
The bill providing for the payment of arrears
of pensions appropriates s26 ,s52 200 cut OF any
money in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated. The bill was passed under suspen-
sion of the rules.
