The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1882-08-12

every convention and election was Jim
Dunno, professional prize fighter and
gambler. The inhabitants Of Mr.. DUNES
ward, or at least majority of his con-
stituents, were of that class whose
names are found on police dockets and
penitentiary rolls. They wanted repre-
sentative of their own class, and, aided
by Boss Mclaughlin, MIR. Dunno was
elected an Alderman. Samuel Morris,
a prominent lawyer, one of the foremost
Democrats in Brooklyn, who had served
with honor as District Attorney, de-
clared that the Democratic party had
disgraced itself by allowing fellow
like Dunno to have any voice in its coun-
ellis or any share in its honors. nunne
is brawny giant, Morris is compara-
lively small man. Dunno met Morris in
a hotel and nearly beat him to death; he
broke his jaw, he stamped on him with
his boot heel and left him for dead
upon the floor. Dunno fled from Brook
lyn and became fugitive from justice
during the months that Morris fingered
between life and death. Morris recov-
cred, and Dunno, notified by his friends,
returned to Brooklyn. He was brought
before convenient justice and, although
it was as plain an attempt at brutal as
sassination as ever was attempted, he
got off with paltry fine, which he paid
from his accumulation of salary as an as
sistant coroner while he was a fugitive
from justice. This is the Dunno who has
now challenged Tug Wilson and put up
$1,000 in the hands of Harry Hill.
understand that our Board of Alder
men are greatly exercised at the coming
match. Bets are freely offered, 100 to 60,
OH their Brooklyn brother, for although
lie is only all ex-Alderman now, if he can
only succeed in knocking Tug Wilson
ont there is no office in the gift of the
city that is not within his reach. Con-
gressional honors are by no means inn
probable, and if after disposing of Tug
he should succeed in breaking a few Of
Sullivan's ribs, disjointine his nose and
knocking out his eyes, nothing short Of a
Senatorship would be commensurate
reward. Brooklyn must feel proud Of her
aldermen.
The weather came down OH us with a
rush, and all of New York and Brooklyn
that had not already left for Jerusalem,
or Martha's Vineyard made rush for
Coney Island. Thousands upon thou
sands lined the beach or plunged in the
briny waves. The traditional fat woman
was there with ten children and q big
basket, monopolizin< the best place on
the piazza and scattering the crumbs OF
her unholy feast orfr chairs, tables and
every thing withinaraac!1. It was sight
to see the swimmers-salt water is a
the stock market trembles as if it had
the ague dived and turned somersaults
with truck drivers and hod carriers,
while fine ladies with Fifth Avenue
flavor and a Flora MeFlimsey finish
hobnobbed with Bowery grisettes and
shop girls from Macy's and Rosenberg's,
and why not = The hod carrier earned
his dollar and a half a day in all honester
way than the Wall street money bags
had accumulated his thousands, and the
poor girl from thu Sixth Avenue or the
Bowery experienced keener delight in
the expenditure OF seventy-fve cents for
her Coney Island trip than her Fifth
Avenue sister received from her room at
the Imperial at $1oO per week and CHAM
pagne at five dollars a bottle. Thank
the Lord there IS plenty of salt water,
and for one esteem myself lucky III
being able to get 1t it.
Willie general business is flat as pan
cake, Wall street rejoices with exceeding
great joy. Juba jubilate! ballelnjah!
Hooray! are the only sounds now heard
between Trinity Church and Wall street
ferry. Smiling faces crowd Delmonico's,
and hearts filled With sweet content find
recreation and suscease from care every
evening by the sad sea waves. It is
many months since the boys have had as
good time, and they are determined to
make the most oft. We are now ON the
qui rire for another match between Tug
Wilson and Sullivan. All of the tickets
are spoken for at premium, and specu-
lators are already making prospective
contracts at IS head. The weather is
intolerably hot and considerable sickness
