police court this morning as prosecut-

charged with assault and battery upon
her. He stated that he went into the
house while under the influence Of
liquor and was importuned by Kate
Blackburn and her ropers to treat and
exhibit his money, and upon his re
fusal to do so the door was barred
against his exit, and he then knocked
the woman down and made his way
out. The officers testimony, however,
showed Kelly to be rather cute, and
that il he had been about to be
robbed he did not know it until this
morning. Kelly aet the officer at
the door Of the dive, and offered, with
alacrity, to show him the man who
had done the beating. At the first
gas-lamp, however, Kate Blackburn
came up with them and identified the
man as the one who had beaten hef
Before giving ita decision tie court
made a survey Of the wcman's condi.

plight. One eye was covered with q
shapeless mass Of blue and black
flesh. A long, shallow cut appeared
under her left jaw, and about half q
dozen small bruises on other parts o.
her face. The index finger Of the left
hand was ehewed half off. The afail
cost Kelly $5575.

Overland 10 tine Pacific ocean.

A new railway route to the Pacific
was discussed at the cotton exchange
last evening, a meeting being called
for that purpose.
The project was explained by Con-
gresham Casey Young. 1t proposes
a railway 1876 miles long through the
Indian territory, to connect at Fort
Smith with roads now running to this
point. The enterprise when COM
pleted, will connect US by railway
with the Pacific. The road will also
connect us with the rich, grain.pro-
ducing region Of southern Kansas, Of
which Wichita is the center. The
cordial enlargement of the scheme by
commercial bodies vas urged by Con-
eressman Young. A committee Of
five was appointed to take the subject
under consideration, including Messrs.
L. Hanauer, r. r. Patterson, +. S.
Davis, 7. w. Brown and Jacob
Thompson.
The Paducah railway AL its I'M
finished condition came in for a few
critical remarks. The legislature has
enabled this company to issue Z per
ceut bonds to complete tho 80 mile
gan in the road. vet nothing has been
done, and the people north Of Coving-
ton arc kept away from this market
on account Of it, The holders Of the
first mortgage bonds of the road have
recently filed a bill to foreclose, and il
seems as if the road will never be com
pleted. A committee was appointed

deleoates are not forward in the fusion
movement, but are ready to jump on II
the train moves OF we'll equipped.
Much will depend on the action OF the
Convention to-day. Mason, a. one OF
the National Republican Committee, Is
not an easy man to draw out, but is
strong for Blaine, thoroughly against
Sherman and Grant, and ready to vote
any ticket that will keep him on the in
side.
Our reporter managed 10 occupy .
few moments ol Hon. George Sturgiss
valuable time after dinner, but he was
not in q mood TO be interviewed freely.
and is not overpleased with the inter
view recently published in this paper,
not because il was not substantially
true, but because il had injured his pros.
poets with the immaculate Henry 5. and
his followers, and given Colonel Nc
lean decided lead in the race.
From other friends OF his We learn
that at the proper time he will publish
the best denial, possible, Of the words
spoken, which the IntellignocT so gladly
copied from this paper, and will try to
explain them 10 his followers with the
hope OF regaining his lost ground.
The views of A. w. Campbell were
freely discussed, and general DISPOSE
ton manifested to elect him to run his
paper in his own interest as heretofore,
not even permitting hm 10 occupy q
seat IN the convention to-day from Ohio
county, and giving no quarter to any
resolutions he may suggest.
His views on the fusion movement are
freely commented upon, which have
been gathered from him little by little,
and from the prominence he has given
TO various articles in his paper against II.
The only persons who are in accord
with him are the Sherman men, and
they only no far as he advocates John
Sherman, but they will all vote down his
anti.third term resolutions. and invite
him to take back seat.
The real fun will crop out to-day when
the work performed by the Treasury
men sent here by Secretary Sherman
will be apparent.
