Details Of the Tragedy in Ramsey Canyon.

Details of the Tragedy In Ramsey Canyon.
TOMBSTONE, Arizona, September TO-
From party just in from the Huachuca
mountains Is learned the following particu-
lars Of an ARRAY which occurred there on
Saturday last: Two men named j. B. Jones
and John Jarvis, who had been in the employ
of Preston & Heslsp, hauling lumber from
Ramsey canon, started en- horseback to visit
the ranch Of ]. E. Hand, located about half
. mile from the mouth Of the canon. Upon
reaching the mouth Of the canon they had q
race from that point to Hands, and after
their arrival some dispute concerning the
race arose, which eliminated In q fight, In
which Jarvis whipped Jones, who, going into
Hands house, returned with Q rife. He
then said to Jarvis: "You have whipped me
your kind Of fight, now fight me my kind Of
fight" Jarvis refused, stating that he was
not armed. Jones answered: "I'll give you
q show" and returning to the house, brought
out another gun, which, after examining and
finding 1t contained no cartridges, he loaded
with cartridges from his own weapon. At
this point the testimony conflicts, some stat
ing that Jarvis took the gun and walked of
. short distance and then threw 1t down.
Others, however, state that Jarvis refused to
take the gun and 1t was thrown down BY
Jones, who walked away from Jarvis, the
latter following him up and saying he dare
not shoot him. Jones then raised his rife
and fired, the ball striking Jarvis in the right
breast and bringing him to his right knee,
from which he arose and said to Jones;
"Shoot again, you --." Jones fred
again, the ball striking Jarvis in the right
eye and killing him instantly. The parties
presen. attempted to approach Jones, but he
warned them of, and, his own horse having
become frightened and run away, mounted
horse belonging to Hand and made off to-
ward the canon. Before leaving be took the
hat from Hands head, having lost his own in
the melee, and also picked up the rife pre-.
viously thrown down.

The Louisiana Lottery.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.--The President
Of the New Orleans National Bank, against
which Postmaster General Gresham's recent
srder relative to lottery companies matter
was directed, had an interview with the Sec
Rotary Of the Treasury on the subject. Sec
Rotary Foiger told him the question Of the
delivery OF mail matter to the bank was one
over which he had no direct control, that be-
ing under the Jurisdiction Of the Postofice
Department. The only question, he said,
which he (Secretary Folger) had to decide
was whether the action Of the bank In be-
coming the agent for lottery company to
receive It's mail was proper subject for in.
vestIgation by the Treasury Department.

louisville, KY, September 24.--The
coIored convention in session In this city, be-
| ginning at noon to day, Is . notable gath
sring OF representative men Of thsf race.
When ~ O'Clock came the large hall 'pf the
Liedsrkranz building contained 243l dele.
gates, and large number Of coIore4 and
white spectators. M. N. Holland, OF Wash
ington, an original signer Of the call, called
the meeting TO order. Green, Of Louisissa,
was elected temporary chairman and was
introduced TO the convention IS martyr Of
the race. In accepting the nomination Rev.
Mr.. Green said he felt it an honor to preside
temporarily over such . meeting on an occa-
sion made hallowed by the name Of Henry
Clay and his successors. Cassius NJ. Clay,
concluding his speech, which recounted the
past history of the colored race and looked
into It's future condition. He exhorted the
convention to stand by the principles set
down In the constitution and refrain from all
discussions of political questions.
j. n. Gregory, Of Washington, was con-
tinued as temporary Secretary. Twenty
seven States are represented, and there Is no
trouble about accommodations, every dele
gate being provided for. A recess was taken
at 2:40 until Z.
LOUISVILLE, September 24.--When Fred
Douglass at 10 o'clock came into Liederkranz
hall to deliver his speech this morning, he
found q very large crowd in attendance,
many white persons having come to hear his
plea for his people. On the stage, besides
leading colored men, sat ex-Attorney Gen'l
James Speed, of Lincoln's cabinet; Gen'l
Joseph III. A. Eken and Q number of other
whites Of prominence. Douglass spoke two
hours, his speech being logical, often humor-
Gus and always interesting. He sketched
the history Of his race since emancipation,
and was frequantly sarcastic and severe on
the Government and incidentally on the
Republican party. He was listened to with
interest aud received frequent and generous
applause. Since the conclusion Of his speech
the convention has In vain labored To COM
plete Its organizations. There are too many
orators on the floor. and Green, temporary
who Is presiding while Douglass
rests from his effusion, is unable TO control
them.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 24.--In the coiored
at the nigh. session, after nearly |
four hours Of hot wrangling, Fred Douglass |
was brought into the hail amid the widest |
of his friends and placed upon
The stand. The old man was trembling |
with excitement and # he had talked. his |
words would have been hot ones. His pres
epce resulted, at the end of four hours, in
bis election to the permanent presidency.
The lateness "f the hour prevented his de.
livery Of lengthy speech, but he took occa.
sion to deny the report that he had said If
Ben Butler was nominated for the Presiden.
" he would sweep the colored vote of the
Union. A mere slip of reporters pencil
had nearly caused him to lose the support of
his dearest friends. The convention then
adjourned.

THE Oregonidn Is awkward about apollo
gies, as the following therefrom will show I:
"a gentleman who accompanied the Willard
party writes that the remarks In the Sunday
0regonian about the earl and countess of
Onslow were incorrect and very unjust.
Those persons did not appropriate q car all
to themselves, and they left the party at
slast spike because their programme did not
include the Pacific coast. Nor did they take
an entire baggage car for storage Of their
baggage, but used the same car that all the
other guests used for that purpose. In ex-
PLANTATION Of our publication Of the statement
referred to, 1t is proper to say that It was
taken from newspapers Of the east the Chi
cago Field among them--which recorded
the progress Of the party. They added, how
ever, as compliment TO the earl, that he
was Of very ancient and noble lineage. His
grandfather was Robin Hodge, q veterinary
surgeon In the reign Of George Ill. He was
created an earl for having personally relieved
the kings favorite stallion OF severe case
of the bolts, and was granted an estate In
Cornwall, where for many years he grew the
finest potatoes In the kingdom" st aa8

Pacific Coast Freight Conference.

Tacinc coast freight Conference.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-To. day the
conference of the railroad sphinx, as the
managers are termed, evolved nothing i'm
portant as far as can be learned. The
Northern Pacific continues to make the game,
but who is going 10 win is still an open
question. 1t Is rumored this evening that
the Vanderbilt interest Is no longer In the
plot to obtain control Of the Northern
Pacific; that Is now confined to Gould and
the Central Pacific people. The uncertainty
of Wall street, as indicated in to-day's dis
patches, had corresponding effect on the
conferees. 1t is probable that to-morrow's
quotations will help the managers to arrive
at decision. The belief Is that II Wizards
stock can stand the strain of Wall street
they will come of conquerors here, and Sc.
cure good percentage of the Pacific Coast
pool.
