IN AN ALLEY.
A Free Fight and a Mysterious Des

A Free Fight and Mysterious Death.
A few minutes before 5 o'clock last
evening a crowd of young men were en-
gagged in free fight in Beckett alley, about
two hundred feet south of Clark street,
near stable in the rear of 1873 Cutter
street. The noise attracted the attention
of two men named John Honnekamp and
Henry Topmueller, Of Belts street, and a
Mrs. haywood, who resides near by.
Just then Andrew Meyer, bachelor
about fifty years old, who is driver for
Mrs Casper Meyer, came along and was
hustled about by two men. Mrs. Haywood
told them to leave the old man alone, when
they did so and took hand in free fight
that was going on farther down the alley.
Immediately after running Meyer dropped
down insensible. John Honnekamp picked
him up, but the man died within twenty
minutes. Drs. Armstrong and Muscroft
were called, but could do nothing 1t was
said that Meyer was hit with bowlder and
kicked to death.
No external marks of injury, however,
were discovered. Coroner Carrick was no
tilted, and ordered DR.. Kearney to hold a
post-mortem examination.
Among the men noticed in the alley
were Murray, Kinney, Kelley, Mulroy,
Patterson. Kildale and skinny Dolan.
Shortly after the occurrence, Peter, a
brother to skinny" Dolan. was arrested
and taken to the Central Station.
The date of the inquest has not yet been
fixed.

murder of his sleeping wife; OF Queen Mary
meeting the hapless Rizzio; Of Moran's
matchless Florida landscape; of Paul We
ber's golden sunset; of Guido's storm-beat
shore; of Rubens' wounded gladiator, that
anon are to be all scattered like
the autumn leaves? Who can help feel
ing of sadness unutterable to reflect that
these works that bear the imprint of hands
we know so well, of Wyant, of Eaton, of
Eastman Johnson, OF Kemper, OF Benton.

whose voices have been familiar to our ears
and whose names are as household words,
are shortly to be distributed to the four
winds and be of us, perhaps, seen no more
forever? The Alsatian Wedding with its
buxom rustic bride, the shining Venice
with the golden simmer of the Italian
sunlight gliding her gondolas, her palaces
and her waves, the weird and lurid glow of
the Forging of the Shaft the sunlight on
the Seine with the memories it brings, the
glow of the Cairene street, the poetic shadows
OF the room where Eastman Johnson's stu
dent sits silently, are tomorrow to be COM
panions no more, as in a few short weeks
that we have stood beside them dreaming
The beautiful ceramics, the carvings and the
bric-a-brac that enthusiastic connoisseurs
have gathered far ard wide, once moreswill
cease tb be for u.s. and the great Music Hall
with its wings will be deserted to the winds
that whisper through their corridors, or
only tremble with the organ voice when
music comes to stir its echoings in the days
that are to be. The crowds are gone that
tthronged the streets, the decorations have
been taken down, the passages are encum-
bered with boxes and bales, the alleys
with carts and drays. The beautiful vision
fades as by an enchanter's wand, and the
palace of Aladdin with its golden halo
greets our eyes no more, but in its place
the sombre temple of the Exposition frowns
until another year, when other genii per-
haps shall conjure scene as fair as this has
been, and alas! as evanescent.

BAD BOOkKEEPER.
A Columbus Scribe Who Lived
Beyond His Means.
Special to the Star.

Special to the Star.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 13.-Saturday after
noon W. c. Dunning, for several years the
trusted bookkeeper of the dry goods store
of Freemans, Staley & Morton, was arrested
for embezzement. He was taken to the
Station-house. where he remained some
seven hours, until his employers relented,
when he was released.
The firm, which was very wealthy and
influential one, succeeded in having the
matter suppressed in all the afternoon pa
pers OF this city, the Sunday morning pa
pers and this mornings papers, as we'll as in
the dispatches. The exact amount of
money embezzled is unknown from the
fact that the firm preserve complete reti-
cence OH the subject, refusing to say
word to reporters.
The crookedness, however, is expected to
run up into the thousands. Dunning has
only been married short time to a beau
tiful and highly respected young lady of
this city, who is almost distracted with
grief and humiliation. On her account the
worthless husband that he is was not prose-
cuted.
Dunning's crookedness is only known by
few, and as he promises to make up the
entire amount, the whole matter will be
dropped. The cause of his going astray is
supposed to be his living beyond his means

is a very close county, and feel confident in

Ewing's election, and both of them have

White accepted the challenge and terms,
and agreed to fight in Cincinnati, provided
Fellows would secure. parties to guarantee
that the stake money would be paid over
to the winner Immediately after the fight.
Fellows did all this. He secured the re-
quired security by getting good, reliable
and responsible gentlemen in this city to
guarantee White his money should he
win. Articles of agreement were then for
warded to New York for White to sign and
return but instead of doing this he pub
fishes lengthy card in the Clipper, saying
he wanted the money itself forwarded and
his expenses paid. This was not in the
programme, and White apparently writes
himself clear of the matter.

END OF THE EXPOSITION

The gates of the Exposition swung wide

the crowds who were present to bid fare.
well for another year to the great show that
has SO long delighted all that came to see.

still; the miniature Niagara in the Con-

longer in the gallery of the Music Hall

cal precision.

Washington, Nov. S.-Gen. Sherman

corroborating in detail the published
accounts of his recent march to the as
sistance Of Capt. Payne and his CON-
mand. The report is Endorsed by Gen.
Sherman us follows: Il, of course, COM
mend in high terms the conduct of
Capt. Dodge and his gallant company
OF the Ninth cavalry. To go with

fellow-soldiers then in imminent dan.
ger was his duty, but the successful ac-
complishment was none the less honor
able. Gen. Pope has himself honored
the officer and his command by gen.
eral order, and do not exactly under
stand what further honors he wants the
government to bestow. Capt. Payne,
of the Fifth cavalry, and Adj. Cherry,
of the Fifth calvary, are entitled to
equal notice and public honors, but the
laws OF the government of the United
States do not give power to any military
superior to reward substantially for acts
of heroism and glory. All officers and
soldiers in this expedition have done ad-
mirably, just rs l knew they would do,
and they have been universally applaud
ed by all officials and by the country.
Other rewards must await the future.
The secretary of war adds to the report
the following Endorsement: Conduct of
this young officer is worthy of the high
est commendation."

A,BIG SCHEME.
Movements Being Made to Capture
Mexico.

Mexico.
San Francisco, Nov. S.-By parties
who profess to be on the inside of the
movement in this city it is asserted that
very large proportion of the popula.
tion Of Mexico is dissatisfied with the
government of Diaz, and that this dis
satisfaction has taken the shape of an
organized revolutionary government
which includes many of the most dis
tinguished Mexican soldiers and poll.
ticians, and that the outbreak which
will include several of the most impor-
tant Mexican states, is imminent.
The agent Of the government of res.
toration of the republic of Mexico" OF
which Gen. Angel Marie Corrillo dc
Abornoz is president, is in this city en-
deavoring to negotiate for material aid
to further their schemes for overthrow
ing DiaZ.
The agent invites capitalists, who
are now considering the scheme, to
supply the revolutionary government
with certain arms and military supplies
In return for which they are to be
granted first authority to organize the
national bank Of Mexico, notes of
which are to be legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and to be
receivable in payment of public lands
at the rate of one dollar per acre, and
all public lands of Mexico to be set
apart for this purpose.
Second, franchise for railways and
telegraph lines throughout Mexico, and
subsidies in lands and national bank
notes sufficient for the construction
theirof.
Third, the abolition Of all duties on
the importation of goods from the
United states into Mexico by land.
The rights of immigrants are guar
anteed. Taxation and service in the
Mexican army for Il stated period is to
be remitted and religious liberation as
sured.
There seems to be no doubt but that
very ambitious men in Mexico are con-
cerned in the movement, and some of
the heaviest capitalists of the Pacific
coast are reported to be examining it
with view to engage in the enterprise
if it promises success.
By private letter from gentleman
in Boston it is learned that the same
scheme has been submitted to the cap
italists who own'the Atchinson, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad. These gentle
men have already sent an agent to
Mexico to endeavor to obtain from
Daz the same franchises SO far as
their company is concerned, and failing
in that, they have promised to give the
scheme their earnest attention.

PRESIDENTIAL POINTS.
Showing the Merits of Favorites In
New York.

New York, Nov. S.-The indecisiye
result of the New York election is ma
terially increased by the probability
that Grant will enter the field for the
next presidential nomination. Some of
his friends, who have been the most op-
posed to this step, now think he will
be made to believe that it is essential
TO continued republican supremacy in
the nation. Though if the republicans
had carried New York by handsome
majority, he would have insisted on re-
naming in private life.
1t is thought that neither Blaine nor
Sherman will openly contest the NOM
ination, but there are some strong
leaders of the party who seem likely to
organize an opposition, such as may
tend to make Grant hesitate to enter
the field. The objections are not per-
sonal, but are based on the conviction
that Grants nomination would develop
elements Of disharmony, and conse-
quent weakness in New York, such as
would have led to the overwhelming
defeat of Cornell, except for Kel ley's
bolt.
Ex-senator Fenton and many other
anti Conkling leaders, are sure to be
disaffected and lukewarm if GRANTS
nomination is to mean a renewal of
Conkling's dictation; and such disaf-
fection would be amply sufficient tn
