SHORT BUT SAVAGE



NEW YORK, December 2l.-Fifty men met
in barn near Blissville Lion last night TO
see prize fight, Marquis Of Queensbury
rules, between Mike Kelly, of Williams
burg, and John Conners, OF South Brook
lyn. Kelly is twenty-four years old, five
feet, seven and a half inches high and
weighs 1SS pounds. Conners is two years
older and about two inches taller, but
weighs two pounds less. The men fought
for a purse of 500. In the first round
Kelly planted a heavy blow on Conners'
ribs. The latter responded with right
hsnder on Kelly's breast, which he fol-
lowed with a blow on Kelly's hose and
drew first blood. Kelly got in some heavy
blows on Conpers' face and ribs They
finally clinched, and after some hard hit
ting both fell heavily to the floor, Kelly
on top.
In the second round Kelly again led off
and landed q neat blow on Conuers Jaw,
which Conrers quickly returned with a
blow on Kelly's mouth. They again clinch-
ed and pummelled each other at short
range. Kelly appeared 10 be getting the
worst Of it. In the third round they both
staggered TO the scratch, Conners leading
oil with feeble blow which Kelly counter
ed and planted hard one on Conners
mouth. The latter then countered on kel-
ly's nose again, drawing blood. Kelly grew
angry and made a savage attack on Con-
ners, but the latter got IN terrible blow
on Kelly's battered face, telling him to the

fight, and Conners got the money.

BALTIMORE, December 21.-Mr. Henry
Herbert, the owner OF the celebrated
Muckross estate in Ireland, who was to
have married Miss Rebecca Williams, the
heiress, but whose wedding has been twice
postponed, has returned sgain to Balti-
more. When the wedding was last post
poned he returned to Ireland and it was
then supposed he would never again re
turn. 1t was given out by the ladys fam
lily that she had received injuries by fall
ing from her horse which had made it nee
essary to postpone their msrrisge, but the
gossips professed to know better and per
sisted in believing otherwise until Mr..
Herbert's sudden return. His presence
has set the tongues wagging again and
1t is now announced that he will
never carry the wealthy bride away
with him 10 the MuckroSs estates.
The gossip about the often postponed
wedding has caused the friends OF the lady
much modification. 1t has been charged
that Mr.. Herbert was more deeply inter
eSteu IN Der wealth. Indu ucEscll, aHu th1'
her father has stoutly opposed the matca
for that reason. This, however, is vigorous
ly denied Mr.. Herbert says his interviews
with Mr.. Williams have been entirely salts
factor and pleasant. In an interview to-
night he stated that he had returned to
this county expecting to be married early
in January On his arrival in New York he
received letter from Miss Williams re-
duesting him to come to Baltimore imme-
Giately. He did so, and had an interview
with the young lady, during which sac
spoke of her illness and seemingly hopeless
results. with true womanly generosity,
he says, "she gave him back his free dom.
He demurred, but she was firm, claiming 1t
best that his fate should not be linked with
that OF an invalid's, whose life was now un-
certain. 1T was a cruel blow to both, he
says, but it was only Just that such should
be the end under the circumstances
In refutation Of the statements that any
III. feeling existed between himself and Mr..
Williams or his family, Mr.. Herbert says
be has completed all his arrangements and
intends TO take up his permanant abode IN
this city. in case the young lady RECEIVERS.

PROGRESS Of the Trial Of the Men
Accused
OF THE oUTRAeINe OF EMMA BOND.
Two Of the Prisoners Upon the Stand-lhe
Statements Made by Clement as
to His Movements on the
Day of the Outrage.

H11LsBoRo, ILLS, Deoember 2l.-The
cross-examination of Clement in the BOND
trial was very thorough and long, but he
bore it unfinchipg'y and adhered to his
direct testimony. This contradicts' IN
some particulars, the evidence OF several
witnesses for the prosecution especially
as to his whereabouts during the afternoon
that the outrage was committed. He posi-
lively maintained that he was reading and
sleeping in a wagon in the Widow Pettus'
ward from about half-past two till SIX
o'clock, and that he saw John {. Mont
gomery and Lee Pettus at the house OF
Mrs. Pettus during the afternoon ana
within an hour from the time the outrage
wss alleged to have been done.
The first witness this morning was hse
Pettus. He went over about the same
ground as did Clement yesterday,
stating that he was at the house all day,
and was IN the wagon with. Clement part
of the afternoon that John c. Montgom'
cry was at the house for dinner and supper,
and no nearer the school house that day
than at his mothers house. He had moth
ing to do directly or indirectly with the
outrage. He last saw Miss Bond that day
when She came to his mothers house at
night. She tod them she'd been outraged
by two tramps in dark clothes and white
shirts. The witness then described how
they TOOK Miss Bond home, her statement
10 her father, and bow he, with Clement
and his mother, on their way home
aroused several neighbors and told
them about the matter Alter reaching
home he went to the school house where
quite a crowd had assembled. He told
what the crowd did. He said that S8ack
ana Heinlein told him Clement ami
Montgomery had confessed and that II he
Pettusl knew anything he had better con
less also. He told them he didn't know
any thing. He positively d, MED the truth
OF convict Mercer's testimony. The wit
ness was cross examined for an hour bat
his direct testimony was not broken.
Mrs. John c. Montgomery was the next
witness. She testified that on the day OF the
outrage she took dinner and supper with
the Pettus family, ard stated where her
husband, John Montgomery, CLEMENT and
Lee Pettus were that day and evening,
