TO test each others mettle, but in the thir,
round the men warmed up to their work
anL some terrible blows were given b,
both, Finally johnson got lick on Ma
liauy's neck which sent him spinnin,
around on his heel. Following up his ad
vantage, johnson struck straight IRON III,
shoulder, hitting his opponent on the lei
temple, who fell to the ground in heap.
Maliai'y, however, came up smiling il
the next round, and the men clinchcd and
struggled about the ring for some moments
when MahatlY broke away and sent John.
son 10 grass with II bleeding nose. Tn,
fighting continued desperately but evenl,
until the eighth round, when johnson
struck Mahally two terrible blows in thr
face, which closed up one OF his eyes and
sent him almost exhausted to his end oil
the ring. IN the ninth, tenth, eleventh
and twelfth rounds MahatIy was sent 10
clover, und was being terribly punished
about the face and head. One Of his finger
had been knocked out Of place, and his
body was full OF bruises.
The thirticth round was the most tespcr
ately contested of the Fight. Mahatly faced
his smiling rival with plucky boldncss, ind
opened the fighting by sending terrible
blow between Johnson's eyes, which
seemed 10 stun him for second, but he
recovered in time 10 ward oil another aimed
at his neck, The men then clinched
johnson came near being thrown, but held
himself up by the knee, in which position
he struck Mahaiy under the arm, sending
him buck few feet. For several seconds
blow after blow followed in rapid success.
Ion. MahaiIy was being pretty badly pun.
ished when lie planted leit.hander on
Johnson's right temple, sending him spin.
ming around the ring and almost knocking
him over the ropes, which, however, caught
the falling man by the back, saving him Il
tremendous fall.
1t was evident when the men faced
each other in tho next round that John.
sons blood was up. Ills punishment in
the previous round had been effective in
rousing Ills temper. lie went ut Mahail'y
from the start, striking blow after blow on
his face and breast. Mahany had all he
could do to defend himself, and it was
some time before he attempted 10 retalia,e
When he did, johnson broke down his
guard with q !eit-handed stroke and sent q
crushing blow directly between his op
ponent's eyes. Alahalfy fell TO theground
and some one in the crowd called out
"iou have killed him." MahaiTy, how
ever, came to the scratch for the naxt
round, although e,i lenly weakening The
lighting continued desperately for twenty
minutes longer, Johnson downing his mar
almost us flSt rs he came up.
In the third.sixth round Mahaiiy coulG
scarcely stand, his face was beaten almos
into a jelly and both OF his eyes were
closed. johnson was fresh and smilin,
and did not attempt 10 punish his op
ponent much. lie sent him to grass witt
& lcithanded blow from the shoulder, and
Mahatfy' second then threw up the sponge
After the fight the two men shook hands
Mahehy is badly bruised and was horIibl,
punished, but was out last night with soml
friends. Johnson wis not distigured.

FRAUD CSEAIsrIIED.
Crookctiness In Connection With the
Sebruskn Election Case.

CroOKcdness In Connection With the
SebrasLn Election Case.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Committee
on Judiciary has about concluded its con.
sideration OF the Nebraska election case. It
will be remembered that the committee
submitted to the House, some time since, 4
report favorins the seating OF Majors as an
additional representative from that State.
Later, Mr.. Hammond, OF the committee,
filed minority report, in which he alleged
fraud and failure to prove that the State
had not 4 sufficient number OF population
secure another representative. Subsequent
events led the committee to withdraw its
majority report and begin IN Investigation.
1t has shown the whole affair to be one OF
the most outrageous schemes OF fraud ever
brought to Congress. The census returns
lately found show that Majors had not the
slightest ground OF excess population OIL
which 10 base his claim, and that most ill.,
genlous schemes were devised 10 further
the claim OF Majors before Congress. Val.
entlne, the sitting member, is being inves.
tigated, but there is nothing to show that
he had anything TO do with the case, be-.
yond filing Majors papers, and there is 10
reason to believe that he knew anything Of
the merits OF the case. Whether to make
areport against Majors and those implicat-
cd with him is what the committee is de.
liberating upon at this time.

Cents and the Details.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE law author.
izing the exchange OF the 8! per cent bonds
for 8 per cents having been passed by boti,
houses OF Congress, and the signature Of
the President being expected thereto, the
Secretary OF the Treasury has been con.
sidering the manner in which the exchange
shall be effected. The chief reason for the
owners OF the 3!s seeking the exchange
into IS will be the comparative perma.
nencv OF the new bonds. The relative
permanency Of the Ss among themselves
depends upon the priority in which they
they are issued. OF course there will be n
struggle for priority, and the manner in
which the offers OF surrender shall be re.
ceived, so rs to deal fairly with all pro.
ponents, is the question which agitates the
Department at present. 10 ~ e
II is now thought that a date will be
fixed say the lst ofAugllst, at 10 o'clock
a. H., on which the Department will begin
TO receive offers OF surrender, these offers
all to be made by letter, sent by mail or
express, either accompanied by the bonds,
or being letters OF advice merely and the
bonds transmitted in some other way, un-
less they are already in the Department in
the custody Of some Of the Government OF:

The proceedings were interrupted at this
point by the entrance OF the Grand jury.
A hush fell upon the spectators and the
counsel listened eagerly us the clerk nut
the usual question: "Eiave you found any
presentment upon the evidence presented
TO you?"
Foreman Hutchinson answered, ave

The Court, with an air oil surprise-"You
say You have found no indictment?"
The Foreman-"We have considered the

Mr. Bliss-There was no presentment."
The Foreman-"We make no present

ARArI AND TIE FALSE PROPHET.

PARIS, July l4.-Iniormation has been
received here through trustworthy source
to the effect that Arabi's plan Of action, as
developed at Alexandria, is the result OF a
conference with his leading officers and nd.
visers and was determined upon before the
arrival of the British fleet at Alexandria.
This plan, it is said, involved the evacua-
ton and destruction Of Alexandria within
twenty.four hours alter the commencement
Of the bombardment. Arabi was then to
proceed with the remnant OF his force to
Cairo, los miles distant destroying the rail.
road US he proceeded. ;;ss ,3sSF, }..,.
Arriving at Cairo, he is to find that city
surrounded by n network OF Notifications,
which have been erected under his direc-
tons during the past three weeks, and be-
hind which he could successfully resist any
force that might be brought to bear upon
him for long time and until an army Of
o00, 900 men would be at his comman d. NJ
K The most remarkable statement In con.
nection; with the matter is that Arab Is in
perfect accord with FL Aledhi, the so.called
false prophet, who Is fast moving north.

Hnlf IA Million Dollars.

Hnlf IA Million Dollars.
New foRK, July l4.-Four or five fires
happened in the downtown section Of the
city about the same hour this evening. At
6 o'clock fire broke out oil the third floor
Of iive.story brick building, embracing
Nos. 15 10 a5 Whitehall street, stretching
from Stone 10 B;idge streetsand extending
back ninety feet, occupied by
Walter 7. Nichols rs cotton
storage warehouse. The loss falls chiefly
upon individual storers Of cotton, who
number more than thirty, and are well
covered by insurance. The principal sui.
ierer is John Anderson & Co., cotton, cheese
and hops, $4,000. The building, which
was damaged $4,000, was known
rs the "kemble warehouses; and
was owned by Goet,el Bros, who
are said TO have paid S2l3,O0O for the.prop-
erty. The ground floor wis used for Off.
GERS, and four upper stories were used as
storage places for cotton and general mer.
chandise: The building udjoined the new
produce Exchange, now in process OF cree
ton. A fireman was injured by broken
glass.
While the Whitehall street fire was at its
height an alarm was sounded for another
fire in the third story OF building 2l3 to
247 Pearl street, and to this fire the engines
out OF the district had to be called. The
buildings are five story brick structures.
No. 2i1 WAS occupied by C. ". Cornwell,
Empire Lithographic and Engraving Com.
pany, which company also occupied the
three upper stories OF 24j and oi5. Their
loss is $4,000, supposed to be fully covered
by insurance. Vim. E.gert & Co., dealers
in leaf tobacco, first floor OF 2i5, were
damaged $1,000 by water, and Isley,
Dubleday & Co., occupying the first
floor oil 2ii3 were damaged $4,000. TIE
building owned Chas. VI. Cornwell was
damaged 5000; insured. The other tenants
suffered slish. damages. The fire is sup.
posed to have originated from spontaneous
combustion.
During the progress OF this fire, trains on
the Elevated railroad were stopped run
ming. The liremen had scarcely obtained
u mastery over the flames OF tie above
mentioned fires, when the signal men re-
ported on fire the IIalbrook Manufacturing
Commny's factory, AIS to i24 Washington
street and 50 10 G3 Nescy street.
The buildings were nine stories in height,
and being filed with combustible material
the flames leaped to sre;s. height. The
constant call for fire apparatus from
the extreme upper section OF the
city, and the rush down town of
so many engines brought TO this last fire
an immense mass OF people. The interior
OF thebuilding was entirely destroyed,
and only the shell remains. Loss on
building about $4,000, on stock.
The insurance amounts TO 100000 or
about 70 per cent OF the loss. Gaston,
Smith & Snow composed the Holbrook
Manufacturing Company, and are owners
OF the building. The other fires were small
aiihirs, but contributed for a time to the
| excitement.
