Sullivan, the Champion PueiIist, Son
fenced fo Inprisonmenf.

Boston, MASS, April 2G.-It is more than
probable that John l.. sullivan, the cham
pion prize-fghter OF the world, will soon
flee the city OF Boston or pass some months
in the House OF Correction. A few nights
ago he attacked man named Robbins on
one Of the most public streets, and with
one Of bis sledge-hammer blows Knocked
the unfortunate fellow senseless, after
which, it is alleged, he proceeded to Kick
him in the head and face. Robbins suffered
a fracture OF the Jaw and is permanently
injured, a piece OF broken bone having
already come away. The parties were IN
court to-day. and although Sullivan denied
having struck the man the testimony was
such that he was sentenced to imprison-
ment for theree months. The arguing
counsel for the prosecution called attention
TO the fact that Sullivan was notorious
pugiliSt, and said that he was no more to
be compared TO Morrissey or lIeenan than
brute is 10 "a man. When Morrissey or
Heenan struck man, il was done in the
prize-ring, and nowhere else. This was
not "A battle. and the poor fellow
whose law was broken was moi pro-
tected even by the Marquis OF Queens
bury's rules. Morrissey and Hecnan
were honorable prize-iighters, sullivan was
not. While he might be tolerated for
leaving the State to engage in a prize-ight
elsewhere he should be taught that he can
not beat and MAIN nOGensiye men at home
without being punished for il; that here
i'm civilized Massachusetts pugilists and
their followers cannot 20 about knocking
people down with impunity; that this
man sullivan should be taught severe
lesson; that there shall be no repetition OF
this brutal as sault, and that fellows OF Sui
livan's kind be duly warned OF what they
may expect"
In summing mp the evidence the Court
said: 81 must lind that severe assault
was made, in which the complainant was
Knocked senseless and had his eye blacken-
ed and his Jaw broken. The punishment
should be in accordance with the result OF
| injuries given"
Sentence was then pronounced, and SUI
| Ivan appealed to a higher court. Sullivan
| was astonished at the sentence, and so were
his friends, among whom were number
OF wel-known politicians. The courtroom
was densely crowded, and many persons
were unable 10 get in. This evening It |,
stated that Sulhyan's bank account, the
proceeds Of his winnings, has been at

TaE LATE EDWARD STEWART
Full Particulars of the Fatal Accident

Full Particulars of the Fatal Accident.
The PRESS few days ago announced the &C
cidental shooting of the late Edward Stewart,
formerly of this city, out west, and the Pueblo
News gives the full particulars as follows:
A short time before the fatal accident Mr..
w. G. Beatty, a stone hauler, entered the SHOP
where young Stewart was employed, carrying
Winchester rifle and left it in the office, a
small room partitioned off from the shop
and located little to The rear and on the left
of the entrance. Beatty had expressed de-
sire to sell the rifle and it was placed in the
Office till Mr.. Stewart could get tine to ex-
anime it. There were several customers In
the shop and after waiting upon them Mr.. A.
L. Stewart entered the office. At the time
Mr.. Edward Stewart was at work upon wheel
near the forge. He occupied position about
twelve feet distant from his brother, who was
examining the rifle. Mr.. A. L. Stewart picked
up cartridge and tried it in the rifle. The
gun accidentally exploded, the ball passing
through the board partition and through the
body of Edward, who was bending over the
forge. He fell to the floor enchanting my
God, / am killeds Two workmen sprang for
ward and lifted him up but he never breathed
again. Death was instantaneous. The elder
brother dropped the fatal weapon upon hear
ing his brothers. scream, rushed ont from the
office and clasped the lifeless form in his arms,
imploring him to speak, in words of deepest
anguish and affection, but all in vain.
The funeral of the deceased occurred from
the residence of the bereaved and grief
stricken brother Alderman A. I. Stewart, 40
West Fifth street. The funeral was doubtless
the largest and most solemn that ever occurred
in the city, and it is estimated that over HOO
people followed the remains to the cemetery.
The deceased was secretary of Ark Lodge, No.
%, I. O. o. F., of South Pueblo, and the pail
bearers were representatives of that lodge and
the funeral services were conducted by that
order. The Odd Fellows of this city also par
ticipated, as well as the fire departments of
both cities. The Pueblo band preceded the
funeral cortege. The remains were inferred
in tho city cemetery.

history of Portland Commentary.

We have received a very neat pamphlet
OCTAVE, 139 pages) printed and written by
Stephen Berry, entitled History of Portland
Commandery, No, 2, of Knights Templar." 1t
is really history of the Orders of Knighthood
in Maine, from their first introduction into the
State in 1905, down to 1852, when the Grand
Commandery was organized. as well as his
tory of this particular Commandery, which was
chartered in 1847 Darius Council of knights
of the Red Cross and Maine Encampment of
Knights Templar had previously existed at
Portland, but as their records had been lost it
was supposed that it was impossible to obtain
materials for their history, but the industry of
Mr.. Berry has enabled him to obtain original
documents, by means of which be gives us
full history of the Council during its existence,
and of Maine Commandery while it was sta-
toned at Portland.
This early history will be of great interest to
members Of the Order, and OF scarcely less to
all interested in historical matters, as Mr.. Ber-
ry gives brief biographical sketches of very
many of the old members, who we're residents
of Portland and vicinity. Among them were
John Coe, William Swan, Isaac Gage, Stephen
Foster, William Cross, James d. Hopkins,
Samuel Fessenden, Freeman Bradford, Jona-
than Greenleaf, Robert P. Dunlap, James g..
Churchill and William Lord.
1t is impossible in brief review to refer to
the many.matters which attract our attention
in this book The history of the body stold in
a style that does not permit any tagging of in
terest in its perusal.-
A list of the officers, the roll of members and
an alphabetical list of the members are given.
The roll bears the names of 451 who have eth
or been members or taken one or more of the
members at the end of 1880, when the history
closes.
OF the organized members but three, Charles
Fobes, John B. Coyle and Marcian Seavey
survive The first four Commanders are dead,
but all the rest (nine) are still living. Among
the members of Maine Encampment before the
Anti-Masonic times was very large proper
tion of clergymen.-Solomon Sias, Thomas M.
Smith, Jonathan Greenleaf, Cyrus Cummings,
Samuel Rand, George Dana Boardman,
Phineas Crandall, Asa Mead and George w.
Campbell, being nearly one-third of the whole
number A full and carefully prepared index
adds largely to the value of the work, espec-
tally for purposes of reference.
The Commandery is entitled to much credit
for causing SO valuable contribution to the
history of cur city and State to be published,
and its author and publisher has added to his
fine reputation in both capacities by the careful
manner in which he has performed the duty
allotted to him.

Portland, SO pleasant in itself, is encompass
ed by pleasure resorts. All roads from it lead
to inns at which it is a comfort to stay. One
of the most pleasing rides that can be taken is
over Fore River, across Cape Elizabeth and
the Scarboro line TO the favorite
Kirkwood House. The drive through
the country is charming, and the Welcome as
warm and good-natured as the canvass for the
Republican candidacy in Maine. That model
landlord, Mr.. Otis Kaler, greets the visitor at
the stoop and entertains him or her as the
farmer entertains the turkey he is fattening
for Thanksgiving. But the Kirkwood is not
an annex to market The bird of flight is
as we'll entertained thers as the domestic
fowl.
He who wishes days outing, wants to take
his wife and children to the beach or his
sweetheart for ride can do no better than
drive to the Kirkwood-unless lie is dyspeptic
and ordered on invalid diet. In that case he
should avoid Landlord Kaler for the shore
suppers are fit for Aldermen.
