Forty-Tvro Rounds on Sunday Morning.
 PITTsBURG, March 5.-Between four and five o'clock yesterday morning mill took place between James Morris of this city and James Henry of the Eighth street club house, in the vicinity of Steubenville, Ohio. It was claimed that the stakes were from $1,000 to $2, GOO aside. At any rate an old grudge ex- isted between the principals and each one was supported by fifteen friends. No time was wasted in formalities and both men stripped to the waist and proceeded to pum- mel each other with bare knuckles. The PhiIadelphian displayed the most science up to the thirty second round and the Pitts burger was pressy badly punished. Just when his friends expected to see the sponge 20 up he got his second wind and for the next ten minutes had things his own way. During this time the Philadelphian came in for considerable punishment and at the end of the forty y-second round went to grass and failed to respond when time was called for the next round. His packer revived him by opening basket of wine and insisted on the defeated mans drinking the health of his vic torious opponent. The mill lasted one hour and twenty minutes and no interruption by the police troubled the successful carrying out of the entertainment.

The InfOrmers' StOries-A Mixed Up Mess
 Likely to be Served Up al the Trial.
 DUBLIN, March 5.-There seems to be some prospect that between the various con spirators whom the government detectives have induced to infomers their stories will become 50 mixed up and contradictory as to be of but little value on the trial which is to begin on the 9th prox. Some of the state ments made by James Carey, the first of the informers, have already been found to be false, and when his testimony comes to be compared with that expected from Joseph Smith and Thomas Martin many more dis crepancies are looked for. Smith has already contradicted Carey in regard to the time when they respectively left Phoenix Park on the night of the murders. The defence of the prisoners is kept secret beyond the general statement that evidence will be forth coming to prove an albi for some of the &C., cused and to disprove the testimony of the informers on other points. It is said that the parents of one of the crown witnesses will be examined for the defense.

Result of the Bra1vI for Patronage.
 INDIANAPOLIS, March 5.-The Legislature expired by constitutional limit to-day.

Buffalo Goes Back on Nilsson.

P1rTsBuRG, March 5-A Buffalo, N. Y., special to the Tunes says: ''The famous singer Christine Nilsson had made an arrange ment to give concert at St. James hall to- night under the management of Henry Ab- bey and goodly portion of Buffalo society were in happy anticipation of the brilliant musical treat, for Madame Nilsson has not visited this city for ten years, when their hopes were dashed at noon by the announce ment of MT. Abbey's agent that the engage
 nent was cancelled. The reason was that but S1, 800 worth of tickets had been sold, and as the average expenses of the company are s., 900 per day the manager would not on principle give concert at a loss. The money was refunded to the purchasers of tickets. The disappointment was seemingly as great to Madame Nilsson as to her patrons She expressed herself deeply surprised and sorry. She left with her company for New York this afternoon.

Internal Revenue Taxes The Repeal
 Embodied In the Law Just Passed.
 WASHINGTON, March 5.-The act to reduce internal revenue taxation which has just be- come law provides for the repeal of the tax upon capital and deposits of all banks and bankers except such taxes as are now due and payable. The tax on capital and de- posits therefore ceased on March Sd. Comp troller Knox says that the passage of this act relieves the national and State banks and the private bankers from tax on an average of about one million dollars month. The amount of tax collected from the national banks on capital and deposits during the last fiscal year was $5,959, TOP, of which $437, TIA only was upon the capital The tax on State banks and private banks was $5, 249, ,172, of which little more than one- fifth was upon capital. The total tax collec- tion upon deposits and capital upon all class es of banks during the last fiscal year was $11, POS, ,875. The amount annually collected from the two cent check stampis about two and half millions and the act repeating the use of these stamps takes effect on the first of July next. The law imposing tax. upon bank capital and deposits required all State banks and private bankers in the country to make semi annual returns to the commission CT of internal revenue. From these returns the comptroller has for 8 series of years compiled the only complete statements ever given in reference to capital, deposits and the amount of United States bonds held by all classes of banks and bankers in the country. The repeal of this law will after this date prevent the compilation of these tables and the only source from which such retur rms can hereafter be obtained will be from the re- ports of the banks es compiled by the officers of the different States. As many ofthe States, particularly in the South and West, do not require such returns to be made, the aggregate will of necessity Commissioner Raum says that after May l, and snuff will be eight cents per pound on cigars, $3 per thousand and on cigarettes
 fifty cents per thousand. There will bea re- bate on tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes of the difference in taxes recently imposed and the taxes as now provided for. Where claims amount to BIO these claims must be presented within sixty days from May 1st. Regulations upon this matter will be imme- diately issued and blanks will be furnished upon which claims can be made: The law provides for large reduction in special taxes upon dealers commencing May 1. The com missioner says that arrangements will at once be made for changing the form of special tax stamps and the stamps for payment of taxes upon tobacco, snuff, cigars, &c., so as to supply collectors with these stamps in time to meet the requirements of trade prior to May l, 1883.
