Sullivan Willing to Fight Allen.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-John l.. Sullivan,
 the pugilist, is in this city. He says that friends in Boston are arranging 8 match for
 him with Tom Allen, and that he will visit
 the hub next week to complete preparations for the fight. Sullivan wants the fight to
 take place either in Colorado or the Indian Territory. He understands that Allen pre- fers Louisiana. ''Ths fact is," said Sullivan,
 ''that Allen never licked but four men. They say he Is 43 years of age, and I think that, barring accidents, can lick any forty-three year old man in the world. I was not going to fight any more, but if the man has come over here especially to fight Sullivan, Sulli- van will accommodate him."

No Postal Savings Bank-Postmaster General Howe Does Not Deem 1t Expedi- ent-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Postmaster Gen eral Howe has decided to make no recom- mendation in his annual report for the estab- lishment of postal savings bank in connec
 ton with the money order system, preferring to leave the whole subject to Congress. Pos tai officials generally now think the time for such banks is passed, inasmuch as their ex- istence presupposed 8 permanent national debt, while at the present rate of redemp- l tion in fifteen years there will be no govern, 1 ment bonds in the market anu hence no ba sis upon which to build savings bank sys tenn.

A MURDER IN JERSEY.

A Tin PeddIer Tramp Murdered for His
Money by His COmpanion-The Muir
derer Arrested.
Associated Press dispatch to the Gazette.1
PLAINFIELD, N. j., Nay 5.-At about
O'Clock this morning some farm hands going
to their work saw lying in piece of wood
land within rod of the road the dead body
of man with the head half severed from
the body. A basket of tinware stood about
rod away from the body with the contents
undisturbed.. The body was still warm.
The man was identified as one of a couple
of tin peddlers who had been in the neigh
Dor hood the night before. His companion
was missing, but a tramp who had been
seen in the neighborhood an hour before the
discovery, was followed to the Motherhood
depot, mile from the scene of the
murder, and arrested. He was searched
and small stains like blood were
found upon some clothing in his pack and
upon razor He admitted having been in
the neighborhood during the morning but
denied all knowledge OF the murder. He
was locked up and will be held until an
inquest takes place.
The dead man was of medium height,
light build, black curly hair and aged about
20 years There were no marks of a strug
gle around where he lay and he is supposed
to have been murdered as he slept. The
man arrested is a German tramp, and gives
his name as August Schlachley.

The Times, Peach Article.

To the Editor Of the Gazette The article
in your issue of yesterday under the head of
''Peach Crop Promises" purporting to come
from me through a correspondent of the
New York Times was great surprise to me,
In the first place he says he met me in Dover
the day he wrote the article. l have not
been in Dover for more than year. have
not, knowingly, talked to a reporter for any
paper on the subject of peaches for long
time. / never told any man that the Coch-
ran family shipped 30 car loads of peac'. IS in
one day, and certainly never said'nat there
were s 1000 900 baskets of r,o >ues on the
Peninsula in 1868 Yher I knew so well that
the peach crop His almost a total failure
that voar, tnere not being, to the best of my
recollection, 10000 baskets on the whole
Peninsula. In short the whole thing is 8
huge mistake from beginning to end.

A Greenwood Man IS Escape.

The Milford Chronicle of to-day says that
John Steward of Greenwood, came to town
on Wednesday night and got drunk. He
wandered about and when near the canal
three persons came up and attacked him,
knocking him in the creek and afterwards
they threw chunks of wood at his hat in
the water supposing he was beneath
it, but he had hidden himself in the dark
against the logs of the dock, to which he
clung for his life. After knocking the hat
beneath the water, one of the chaps on the
dock exclaimed, ''There, the s. Of b.
will go out with the tide" Then they left
the creek and when they were gone Steward
climbed back on the wharf and found his
way to Gorby's shed, where he stayed until
morning, and where he was found yesterday
morning, wet and cold but looking little the
worse for the ROUGH experience Of the night.
