THE PORTERS' FATE
To be Decided at Dubuque To-Day
The Company Never in Better
Trim than at Present,
And There is Every Reason 10 Believe
that They viii Come Ont OF the
Contest Victorious.

Special to the Appeal
DUBUQUE, August 23.-To-morroW will de-
eide the fate of the Memphis boys. They
are in frst-rate spirits, aud confidently ex-
pect 10 win. The people OF Dubuque have
the same confidence in their ability. The
"Porters" have created a splendid impression
here, and their soldierly bearing and swing
have been greatly admired. The Dubuque
Times says that "to see this fine body Of men
would alone be worth a long journey. They
the pride of Tennessee, and are warm
hearted, chigalrous and true Southern gem
tlemen." Captain Waldran says his Loys
were never in better trim than now, and he
has every rssson 10 ~belieye they viii come
out first. He has at practice drills drilled
the programme in eight minutes, and ex-
poets to gel through with i in tea minutes at
most in the drill to morrow. The remaining
time he will devote to extra movements The
Chicago and ST. -Louis companies have
arrived and been appropriately well
coined by the Dubuque companies.
This city is wild with enthusiasm.
Nothing but the great drill Tomorrow is
talked of on the streets. The "Porters" nave
numerous friends here vino are ready TO oct
on them for any amount. Some of the Chi
cago and st. Louis companies will be dan
gerous competitors, but the "Porters" are
sauguiue of defeating them. The city is lit
orally crsmmed with people. Strangers are
here from all over the country. Everybody
talks military. The drill tomorrow will be
Witnessed by perhaps 10000 people, and
there will be no lack OF enthusiasm. Gene
rails Grant, Sherman, Hancock and Sheridan
have been invited 20 be present at the drill,
but it is not certain that any of them will
attend. The celebrated "Bayonet Squad"
st. Paul company, will be present. The
street parade is to be reviewed by General
Gibbon and other well-known officers OF the
United States army.

Bolivar county there are very few
plantations with even q strip of

stock there is almost total. The
levees are thronged with negroes
and stock, whose condition is most
deplorable. AS its extent becomes
known this calamity begins
to appal everybody. A tex
sufficient to rebuild the
levees above would be aim ost
iasupportable, but that is only one
item. The laborers have lost their
stock and moveables, and are in a
panic-stricken and demoralized
condition. The dependency Of
the planters and merchants is
deepening. AT first this blow was

A Foolish Hoax.

Picking up bottles at sea containing
fateful messages of impending shipwreck
is getting entirely too monotonous. 1t is
recorded that G. Columbus, when he
thought that it was all up with his little
feet, enclosed record of his voyage in
a bottle and committed it to the deep.
Il seems that some fools have been read
ing the story of late, and have deter
mined to have little fun at the expense
of public credulitY. The alleged i'm
pending wreck of the bark Lucy,
from Savannah" off Atlantic City,
and of the bark, Flying Fish," off
Cape Henry-both recently transmitted
throughout the country by telegraph, as
having been discovered through the me-
dunn of bottles picked up on, the sea
shore-are sample hoaxes of the many to
which the public may expect to be treated
during the remainder of the summer.
One would suppose that when the
''last chance" was gone the first thing
the average passenger or sailor would
naturally think of would be life pre-
server, a plank or the boats. He would
hardly feel in the humor to look up a
bottle in which to enclose statement of
his peril. The fool killer has abundant
occupation, no doubt, but if he would
take a stroll along our fashionable
beaches he might get in some effective
work.
