the Leghlature elnnot too ss6on pass
Senator Hume's BIN or some other mea.l
sure devised for the purpose Of fnvesting
this large amount Of idle money
in government bonds SO that it
may earn some interest. To take
money from the taxpayers sim
ply to give the use of it to the banks
favored by public officials is an indefeD-
sible and demoralizing policy. The
present discretion vested in the sinking
fund commissioners to invest the sur.
plus in the purchase of state bonds not
yet due is not an adequate remedy, for
there are SO few of them in the market
that such a demand for them would be
taken advantage Of by the spectators to
run up the price. The constitution ad
mits of investment on interest. bearing
government bonds and the law should
be made accordingly. It would save thu
state from $4,000 to 500, 900 a year ,and
deprive the politicians of the chance tt
thimble.rig with the states idle millions
for personal or political gain.

Pittsburg, December 5.-Ross Grove,
on the West Pennsylvania railroad,
nine miles from Allegheny City, was
the scene this afternoon of one of the
most brutal and hotly contested hard
glove fights that ever took place in
Western Pennsylvania. The princi-
pals were Patrick Moran and Jas.
Mccoy, and one hundred and fourteen
rounds were fought In one hour and
thirty minutes. The fight has been
on the tapis several months, and was
for purse of $500. Both men are
pugilists of some repute, Mccoy
having fought several battles in this
vicinity, while Moran has participated
In a number of fights in this country
and England. Mccoy is twenty-seven
years old and Moran liity-one. Owing
10 the great difference in aye II was
thought the former would have an
easy victory, and betting was two 10
one In favor of Mccoy. The encoun-
ter was to have taken placeon Thanks
giving day, but postponed FOR some
reason. aud ID was generally believed
to be of. This afternoon hundred
sporting mel left the city and arrived
at Ross Grove at 8 o'clock. A ring
was marked out, but no ropes up, ana

ginning Mccoy broke his right wrist,
and for the rest of the battle fought
with his left hand. Both men appeared
determined TO win, and were soon'
covered with blood. After Mccoy
broke his wrist he fought desperately
and succeeded in knocking down his
antagonist hundred and ten times.
In the hundred aud eleventh round
Moran got in terrific blow on Me-
Coy's neck, telling him like an OK.
He was picked up and carried to his
corner, but was completely dazed and
wanted to stop fighting, but his
friends prevailed on him to continue,
and he fought three moie roubds. Mo
ran knocking him out on the hundred
and fourteenth round. Both men
were terribly punished and Mccoy
had to be carried to the train.

San Diego, December al promised
to keep you posted of the court pro-
ceedings and III compliance with my

have, so far, disposed of some thirty
| five civil cases in the district court.
The most OF them, however, We're gar
nishments and answers growing out
OF the j. w. Foklas & Co. attachment
suit, in which Leon d. H. Blum of
Galveston are the principal plaintiffs
and are striving to get the lions share
Of the spoils. Some others, however,
are putting in paw TO rake what
crumbs they can into their NAV.
There have also been four criminal
case disposed of, three of them mol
pressed by the states attorney. Pedro
Morales, accused of theft of over 500. 90,
WIS convicted, with verdict OF two
years in Huntsville. Two divorces
have also been granted, and more souls
made happy by being relieved from
the CALLING yoke of matrimony. The
parties in these last two cases were all
descendants of proud Spain, little
mixed with Aztec. We are still pro-
crossing. however. There We're two
special venires returned last Friday,
and one murder case will be taken up
to-day. This is probably ourlast week
of the term.

which is assessed az less than 81 40 per foot,
the Improvements being put at S5o,O00, the
