Meetings are being held at various
points, to give expression to the pent-up
Indignation of a lot of s'stalwart" fellows
of the coalition faith, whose palms itch
dreadfully and impatiently for chance
at the '"swag," which the delectable
crew propose to get away with while the
opportunity is present, because Mr..
Massey's friends don't get out of the
way to let them riot in plumber. These
humbug meetings are rather thin de-
vice to scare any body. The "big four"
are doing the "bossing" just now. and
are likely to do SO for some days to come.
Heavy pressure will be brought to bear
upon Messrs Ly brook, Hale, Newberry,
and Williams Whether the Malone
garrote can be screwed tight enough to
force them to come down, is question
to be answered by later developments.
Let us turn aside for moment and
ask, what has the election or defeat OF

the settlement of the State debt p Old

A Virginia Mystery.
A wIFE's UNACCoUNTABLE DISAPPEAR
ANCE-WHAT WAS FOUND IN AN
ABANDONED WAGON.

A special dispatch to the PHILADELPHIA
Press from Buchanan, Va, dated Fab
rnary 7, says: Last evening Mrs. Will
liam M. Hughes, /. lady of position and
culture, left her home in Allegheny
county, about seven miles northwest OF
Allegheny Station, with the design OF
visiting a neighbor several miles dis
tant. AS she did not return at rea-
sonable time her husband started in
search of her. Reaching the foot Of
Chestnut mountain, where the road
forks, he discovered quantity of yarn,
which his wife had taken with her to
be spun, fastened to the standard OF an
abandoned wagon. and accompanying
it was this missiva: "You will not see
me any more. ] hope God will take
care of our little family, and trust that
may meet them in heaven. Good
bye" There is absolutely nothing to
throw ray of light upon the mystery.
Mrs. Hughes had reached her nfigh-
boris house, and, after attaining the
object of her visit, had started home
early in the evening, and nothinglunu-
sual had been obserbed in her conduct
The husband, half Distracted, ret4 rned
to his home. An alarm was sHread
and little while a band of neighbors
was securing the mountains. The
search awaited nothing, and it was Aban'
doned. Mrs. Hughes,s home life was
happy, and there is no known r eason
for her disappearance. Foul play IL

PRIZE FIGHT-SULLIvAN DEFEATS
RYAN.-On last Tuesday. the prize
fighters, John L Sullivan of Boston.
and Patrick Ryan of Albany, went
from New Orleans to Mississippi City,
Miss, where they fought in the pres
ence of thousands of persons. Each
party put up $1,000. After nine rounds,
in twenty-six minutes, Sullivan was de-
clared the victor-Ryan being badly
punished. Ryan was suffering with
hernia and not in a good condition for
fighting.
The pugilists did most of their train
ing in New Orleans and on the line of
the Mobile Railroad Ryan's height is
six feet two and half; his fighting
weight one hundred and ninety pounds
pounds. Sullivan stands five feet ten
and a-half, and weighs one hundred
and seventy five, trained and in condi-
ton.
John L. Sullivan; the winner of the
fight, is native of Boston and twenty
three years Of age. A little over thr ee
years ago he made his first appearan ce
as boxer with John Woods, OF Boston,
a veteran pugilist, whom he defeated
Later he successfully encountered
number of noted men of the ring, in
Guiding Dan Dryer and Mike Donovan.
In 1880 he met Joe Gloss, the famous
fighter, and knocked him out of time in
two minutes. Subsequently he tri
mn pv,t1 nd h w, To r.
Stewart, and also John Flood, who.
fought him on barge on the North
river for 81 900 side. During the past
two years Sullivan has been giving ex-
hIbitiops throughout the country, but
has found no competitor who compelled
him to exert himself
Patrick Ryan was born in the town of
Thurles, county of Tipperary, Ireland,
on March Is, 1858. He is half an inch
over six feet in height. His fighting
weight is 100 pounds. He has had some
experience in the ring, though he is
sill somewhat of a novice. During the
early part of April, 1871, he was matched
to fight Johnny Dryer for $1,000 and
the Championship. On the 22d of June
he and one of his trainers, Joe Goss
were to spar for benefit at the Pros
pect Park fair grounds. They went to
the grounds but did not appear in the
ring. On their way home from the
grounds they were attacked by eight or
nine persons, and Ryan was stabbed in
the left side. His match with Dryer
fell through, as they could not agree
upon stakeholder. His only battle in
the prize ring was with Joe Goss. They
fought at Collier Station, West Va.
June 81, 1880. He won in eighty seven
rounds, fought in one hour and twenty
minutes. Ryan is the proprietor of a
drinking saloon in Albany.
Prize fighting is disgrace to this ag e
and should be forbidden under heavy
penalties.
