LOUISVILLE, July 1O.-The afternoon Post
of Saturday contained notice OF the death
of the World NEWSPAPER, TO which John b.
Gaines, the World editor, took exception.
Today Gaines issued dodger, in which
Colonel Sears, editsr of the Post, was de-
nouuced as a coward, drunkard, etc. Late
this afternoon the two men met on the street,
when Sears hit Gaines over the head with a
canE Gaines drew a revolver, Sears did
the same, and. both men began firing, ceasing
ouIy when the revolvers we're empty. Only
one shot took effect, and that in Sears's foot.
A tremendous crowd at once collected, and
the two principals in the encounter gave
themselves ND and went at once to Jail.

THE COTTON CROP.
ITS CONDITION IMPROVED SINCE JUNE 1s1
THE OUTLOOK GOOD.


THE OUTLOOK GOOD.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The statistical
returns 10 the department Of agriculture, for
July, which are very full, show that cotton
has improved since the 1st of June, its aver
age condition being 8 points better the LIST OF
July. From Virginia TO Georgia and west
of the Mississippi every State shows higher
figures. From Florida to Mississippi and
Tennessee the condition has slightly de-
clined, he general average being 92, which
is higher than in July, 1878, and 1874, but
lower than In any other year during the past
ten. 1t was 9S in 1877 and 1879, and 95 last
July. This condition Is due 10 the late wet
spring, sud is rapidly and generally improy-
ing under favoring skies. The figures for the
several States are; Virginia, So; North Car
olina, 80; South Carolina, 90; Georgia, go;
Florida, 81; Alabama, 50; Mississippi, 81;
Louisiana, 90; Texas, 81; Arkansas, 80;
Tennessee, 7S. Ia Texas and South Caro-
lima the condition is better than in 1881, and
the same as that date in Louisiana. The
draw backs reported are those OF the past,
and are mainly deficient stands, slow growth
ahd general backwardness, but there is a
marked absence at present Of unhealthy
condition. The returns are nearly unanl-
nous in indicating a good degree of vigor
and rapidity oil growth. Thus far it is only
loss of time for development and fruiting.
Further favorable conditions may make
good the deficiency, but unfavorable weather
in July and August would make full crops

Extraordinarily High Prices for Cotton.

Messrs Fulmer. Thornton & Co. made
sale yesterday which is probably the best OF
the season. 1t was crop lot of forty-two
bales, mixed staple ana grade, owned and
grown by Major c. L. Seay, residing uear
Mason's Depot, at thirteen and one-half cents
per pound all round. We announced re-
Gently sale OF crop lot by this enterprising
firm at thirteen cents round. We understand
that both these sales were made on direct
orders from Manchester, England, for con-
sumption there. The lot sold yesterday
classed from low middling to fancy, and the
prices ranged from twelve to sixteen cents.
The cotton season is rapidly drawing TO
close; but those who have any of the staple
yet TO consign should heed these facts about
the good sales recently made by Fulmer,
Thornton g. Co, whose success and enterprise
are remarkable. Mr.. Fulmer gives his un-
divided attention to the cotton business, and
has done as well for those he sold for as any
one probably could do. Fuln1er, Thornton &
Co. are closing out their grocery business in
order to give their entire attention 10 cotton.

Gladstone stated that he had abandoned

amend the land bill at the present session,

THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO CABLE EXPERI-
MEST.
The London Times announces that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company is
preparing to lay two cables across The AT
iantic ocean, one directly TO Eogland and
the other by way OF the Azores 10 Portugal.
The latter project has long been familiar to
the public through the exertIons OF Mr.. Viii
liam Cornell Jewett, who some years ago
made an agreement with Mr. Garrett to take
over his contract for such line. 1t is further
announced that the whole expense of those
cables is to be met by pledgipg the reserve
fund of the Baltimore and Ohio railway.
This statement has caused some inquiry at
the Stock Exchange into the question whether
such use OF the reserve fund OF the Bslti-
more and Ohio is permitted by the charter of
that company.
