FRANKFORT, Nov. 19.-While the steamer Frieze was coming up the Kentucky river couphs, of weeks ago there was disturbance on board one night. Next morning Clip Clay, colored man, was missing. There was considerable talk among the deck hands at the time to the effect that there was good deal more in the accident than a simple case of accidental drowning. Nothing, however, was done about it until yesterday, when the body morning an inquest and postmortem exam ination were held. The verdict rendered is to the effect that deceased came to his death by 8 blow on the head at the hands of Sam Johnson, the mate of the Frfeze, and that the body wss then thrown into the river to hide the crime.

The rooms of the Historical society in the State House were crowded last evening with gentlemen and ladies. The story of the voy- age of the Neptune, which sailed around Cape Horn to the Sandwich Islands, to Canton, China and other places was read in part by Secretary Trowbridge of the society. The reading occupied nearly two hours, but the narrative was written with such graphic hand and contained SO much curious infor- nation in regard to seal fishing, the natives of Patagonia and the Sandwich Islands and thier peculiar characteristics that the audience paid the closest attention throughout. The voyage was made in the latter part of the eighteenth century. The thanks of the so ciety were extended to Mir. Trowbridge for reading the narrative and he was requested to finish if at the next meeting on Monday evening November 26.

 Sullivan Knocked Ouf-I1afd on His
 Back by a Darkey Whom He Undertook
 to "Guy.s
 CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-John L. Sullivan met
 with an unexpected and inglorious expert
 ence while in Chicago. He was knocked out for the first time since his entry to the slug ging arena, and his defeat was none the less rnortifying to the champion because not ad- ministered by one of his own color. The conquest was made Saturday night at the Fremont House. Although 1t was witnessed by several people, the ''pet" and his friends were careful not to let it get abroad. The fact however, leaked out to-day. While the ''pet" and his friends were standing before the bar one of the colored men employed in the house came to the bar in answer to the borkeeper's bell. When he had been charged with his mission and was about to start away the celored gentleman espied the ''pet" and his curiosity to see him closer so far prevail ed that he framed an ingenious excuse to say something to the keeper while he took in the slugger's elegant proportions. The look of awe with which he regarded him attracted the attention of MT. Taylor, who at once called Mr. Sullivan's attention to him. The pet regarded the "boy" for an instant and saying to lis friends, HWatch the guy," ap- preached the awe-stricken colored man and said, What ate you looking st?" The tone in which he directed the inquiry was so fierce that the t'boy" retreated in terror. Sullivan caught him by the shoulders and lifted him up as he would a baby. Then he laid him on his back to the great CT terror of the negro, who really be lieved the champion meant to slaughter him then and there. The '.pet" played with the darkey in an affectionate manner and by some means or other the darkey got an underhold on the s'pet' In 8 twinkling Sullivan was in the air and the next moment he was laying prone upon his back with his shoulders touched the tiles. The action was so sud den and unexpected that the champion lay still for an instant. Not so the negro. Though frightened before he was now thun- derstruck. His face assumed an ashen hue and his frame trembled visibly. He no doubt thought Sullivan had justification for any act of violence, even murder, for he rushed for the Dearborn street door and out into the street. The champion arose from the floor and shook himself. He made no effort to conceal that he was very much chRgrined The other "boys'' conseIed him with all manner of remarks, and in moment the champions clouded face relaxed and assumed his former good humor. The knocking out now forms prolific source of fun for the 'tboys" and the champion will probably in the future be more guarded in his manner of 'tguying."

A ItAsatust The Boston Ide.ls

A Su1G AE410St The Boston Ideals.
 CLEVELAND, Nov. 19.-The case of Edward P. Martin, of Boston, against Fife H. Ober and others is virtually against the Boston Ideal Opera company. Martin, who was the business manager of the concern, had been discharged and brought suit against the con- cern for breach of contract and balance of salary. Judge Hale was appointed referee and the case is now being heard before him. Martin claims that under the terms of his contract with Miss Ober he was to receive $200 per week, but that the lady sold her in terest in the opera company to MT. Waugh, who refused to carry out Martins contract and so he was discharged, but was to call at the office of the theater each week and re- ceive the contract salary. He received the money regularly for three weeks, when the payments ceased, the agent of Miss Ober claiming that Martin had embedded the funds of the company. Martin claims that the transfer of Miss Ober's interest was fraudu- lent transaction and brings suit for salary from the day of his discharge.
 Heavy Tax Frauds-The Citizens of CIn-

 CINCINNATI Nov. 19.-The frauds discov- oEoO III tn6 t8A Qupllcdb0S Oy A1u1GOE DE6WS- ter have created the most intense excitement. Ex-Auditor Coppelar has just returned from New York and called on the new auditor this evening in relation to the recent disclosures Brewster explained his discoveries to him and said: ''Now I want to have the guilty parties arrested.'' 'tBut do not know who they are," replied Coppelar Said Brewster, ''I can get the books. There are the figures, the clerk who made part of these figures can be ascertained for no one in the office makes similar ones. There is but one clerk vho makes Q dot at the end of his figures. I demand their arrest" Quite heated controversy arose between Brewster and the ex-auditor about the alleged frauds and the evidence against the perpetrators. The fraud consisted in raising the value of real property after it had been placed on the duplicate and before the taxes had been computed thereon. The rais- ing was generally done by placing 6gure't1" before the value of the property. For instance, if property was valued at $8, 900 figure had been placed before the 8 and the value appears SIS, 900. After the book had bsen dootored it passed into the hands of clerks who counted up the taxes according to the rate of the years levy. Of course the taxes on the increased amount would be just the taxes on $1O, 900 more than the taxpayer should pay. The frauds amount to over $1, ,00O, ,O00.
