dictment. When Colonel James took
bold OF the postofice department he
began at once an Investigation of the
star contracts. He has not vet com
pleted this work, but has gone far
enough to convince him that great
frauds and abuses exist.
1t was this knowledge that induced
the postmaster general to send a COM
mission to Memphis to investigate the
steamboat service at that point, which
. believed to be rotten and corrupt.
This service, though not properly be-
longing to the star routes, was inaueu-
rated by ex-P Postmaster General Kew tn.

that many Of the star routes. for

on others there are no terminal points.
they start at a given place aud run
nowhere. 1t has been found that the
compensation on one route, which was
expedited. was increased Gfom 100000
to S2,6O0,0OO.
In fact, the investigation. so far as
1t has progressed, has developed the
most Caring inconsistencies, to say
nothing else. At the proper time the
postmaster general will. through the
press, make public the result OF his
investigations. A postofice official
said to-day that there is much that
1T would not be prudent to disclose
now that the papers are in the hands

long before there are other develop
ments.
General James is satisfied that. with
the extravaganza he can lop off in the
starroute service in two fiscal wears.
ne can make the p~ostofice department
absolutely self sustaining.

A TITANIC PRIZE FIGHT.
North Carolina Giants Bantered
Into a Brutal Encounter.

A Charlotte On. CO. dispatch says.
San extraordinary duel between two
giants occurred here yesterday. They
were Preston Holloway, who is seven
feet nine inches tall and weighs $50
pounds, and Andrew Walker, who is
seven feet nine and one-half inches
tall and weighs 800 pounds. They are
hard working men, and the largest in
the state of North Carolina. Either
one of them can lift 1000 pounds with
out trouble, aud neither would find it
difficult to lift an ordinary man in
each hand and knock their heads to-
gether.
For a long time attempts have been
made to bring these giants together in
a trial of strength. Finally, each OF
the giants was made to feel that the
state was too small to hold two men
of his strength, and they determined
to fight.
When the big men met and stripped
for the fight their size aud bulging
muscles produced a sort of awe pmong
the spectators. They clinched and
went to work with little ceremony.
All efforts on the part of either to
throw the other were fruitless. They
tugged until each was stripped almost
naked, and until both were reeking
with perspiration, and covered from
head to foot with bruises. Both finally
become perfectly enraged, and they
fell upon each other in what was now
believed to be a mortal combat. After
over an hour of this terrific work,
which, although both men
were covered with cuts and Jumps,
neither seemed to become ex-
hausted. Walker, by a tremendous
swinging blow, planted his fist
with stunning force squarely upon
Holloway's throat, knocking him
to the ground, where he lay
for a momentas if dead. He recovered
however, and stood up again to the
fight, when Walker again disabled
him by a similar blow.I
From the effect of this second fall
did not recover for a long
When he did at last, he gave
Up the fight, and went away crestfal-
en- and broken hearted. He subse-
refused to show himself, and
on a lively walk home, saying
he would never show his face again.

NASHVILLE, April 2O.-There
arises a question, even at this late
hour, as to the settlement of the
state debt. Old man Savage, S. f.
Wilson, late low-taw candidate fol-
governor, and several other prominent
low-tax men have been in the city
several days, and for a purpose that
threatens the state with dire conse-
quences. 1t is rumored tonight that
they, or some one else. will file a bill
OF injunction against the comptroller
from issuing the new bonds with
which 1t is proposed to settle the
past due Indebtedness Of the state.
Ex-Governor Marks has also been
here several days; and, although he
Is attending the federal court, it is
rumored that be is here in the inter
est OF repudiation that he is in favor
ola readiustment in other words he
is to be the Malone of Tennessee. and
will be the next low-tax candidate for
the United States senate.
How can such things be i" Gov.
Marks has recently been considered
the best friend the state had, and that
ne can now so completely turn his
back on her best interests and aid and
abet in a scheme which will sink bis
state and people into utter ruin, dis

that such is the programme. The
