A NOTED GAMBLER.

ST. LOUIS, April 25-Warren F.
McCheSney was convicted by the Jury
this morning of fraud, and for trying
to extort $1,000 from the ST. Louis
Brewers association. The jury as
sessed his punishment at two years in
the penitentiary. McChesney is a
we'll known figurer in local politics,
and generally credited with being the
head of the gamblers ring. He was
mixed up in all police gambling scan
dals, and believed to be "a man of pc
euliar influences through his dark
practices. He was indicted at the
time of the police gambling investiga-
lions last fall for attempting bribery,
and for fraud. The trial on the brib-
cry charges resulted in a hung jury
His conviction to-day was a matter
of surprise, as it was believed almost
impossible that he would be convicted
He has for years figured in every loca
scandal connected with the gamblers
The jury Joined in recommendation
for mercy, in which his attorney alst
joined. He has also made a motion
for new trial

NEW SOCIAL CLUB.

That charming social, musical and
literary club known as the "E. G. DIS,
was appropriately launched into pub
lie existence by an elegant sociable
last night at the residence of Col. A.
Peeler. The beautiful grounds were
tastefulIy Illuminated for the occa'
sion, and nothing was left undone to
promote the success of the interest
ing proceedings. This organization
has been formed for mutual improve
ment, and is confined exclusively to
the gentler sex. Already it has an ex-
tensive membership, and is graced by
the following young lady officers
President, Miss Elise Peeler; vice.
president, Miss Maggie Howard
treasurer, Miss Lizzie Wagner, and
secretary, Miss Ellen Hughes. AT
the entertainment given by the society
last night, (Which was opened with
an address by the young president,
explaining the object of the club the
attendance was large and select, and
embraced within its number a galaxy
of youthful beauty and gallantry that
does credit to the capitol city. The
general making was varied
with dancing, vocal and instrumental
music, ETC., and the entire evening
was passed in a manner highly en-
joyable and rarely entertaining. 1t is
hardly necessary to say the hospital
ity of the kind hostess gave zest to
the pleasures of the occasion; and to
her, as also her amiable family, the
.'E. G. DIS" and their many friends
are indebted for the agreeable intro
duction their excellent club obtained
last evening. The society will now
hold regular stated meetings, and as
it is composed of members of nearly
all the leading families of the city, it
will, no donbt, be often heard of dur
ing the coming months.

A BIG FIGHT.

PITTsBURG, April 25.-One of the
most remarkable prize fights that ever
occurred in this city OF vicinity took
place last night at arsenal park be-
tween BillsOn Jack and Jack Clifford
for 800 side. Previous to the. bat
tie ball had been in progress, in
which over thirty young girls and sew
eral mothers with infants in their
arms were participants. When time
was called at 10 o'clock thirty women
as well as men crowded around the
ring, and during the Fight the former
were more enthusiastic sheuters for
their respective favorites. The fight
was with soft gloves to the end,
and London ring rules from the
start. Clifford, who displayed the
most science, had the best of it.
and soon had the battle well in hands
Billson Jack fought savagely, how
ever, and refused to give up until the
one hundred and twenty-first round
when his friends interfered and the
mill Was awarded to Clifford. Both
men were terribly punished. Billson
Jack had to be carried from the ring
A number of policemen watched the
fight until the close without inter.
fering. The battle lasted an hour and
| fOrty-fiVe minutes.

the crops of the coming year are
ready, and other information bearing
on the question of demand for grain
and cotton products of the United
States. The secretary in his report.
says:
Calculations and estimates submitted
prove, as far as statistics can prove
under the circumstances, that the
stock of wheat on hand in Europe at
the close of '83 did not materially diff
fer from the stock on hand the previ-
. Gus year ; that the wants of Europe
are as imperative and as great as they
were in '83 4; and that the demands
upon the United States should natu-
rally be as great as the y were in 'o3
How l)ng Europe may or can draw on
| her reserve stock, or what are the ex-
act considerations which control the
several countries, especially the
| United Kingdom, which may be said
to regulate the wheat markets of the
world. can alone develop. He also
says the 'last liberal allowance for the
wheat output necessary to the worlds
consumption, shows the U nited States
should be drawn upon the present
year for 177,000,O00 bushels in round
numbers against 19SOO0,O00 bushels
from all other wheat growing coun
tries. 1t thus appears the United
States instead of being controlled by
should be able to control, all the for
eign markets..

RED DEVILS.

DENVER, Col, April PA. John
son, who was present at the recent
battle between the NavaJos and whites
at Mitchells place, Lower San Juan
river, Southern Colorado, arrived here
to-day. johnson says: Myself, VIII
liam Greene and Victor Neff, arrived
at Mitchell's store the evening of
April 10. A party of dozen Nayojo
Indians came Into the store, and one
of them drew gun on Edward
crossed a Navajo named Ryelily COM
menced removing the buck skin from
his rifle, and the other Indians
ran fer their guns that were
standing against the store
Both Indians ahd whites then began
firing. After about twenty shots mad
been exchanged, the Indians retreated
across the river, leaving one dead on
the ground. None of the whites were
hurt. The whites then proceeded to
throw up Notifications. The Write
women showed great nerve, carrying
tubs of water to supply them in case
of siege. johnson then started for
Fort Lewis. The commanding Of
ficer there ilnmediat, ly started
a squad of mounted cavalry
to the relief of the Nit bells. When
they reached the Bowen ferry Ma
yajo came in and reported that the
Utes had killed all the whites at
Mitchell's place. So far, no other
word has been received, and Johnson
fears that all the whites have been
massacred. 1t is not probable that
the Utes went to the scene to
avenge the death of a Navajo Indian.
1t IS common for one tribe to lay it's
crimes to another. District commander
ordered Capt. Ketchum's company to
leave Fit. LewisI tomorrow. Troops
are also being brought up from Fit.
Wingate, near Mexico, and it may be
several days before anything definite
can be learned. The following is
list of the whites left at Mitchell
place by Johnson: Old man Mitchell
and wife and three children; Henry
Mitchell and wife; Jos. Dougherty
and wife; Peter Christmas, William
Poland, William Greene and Victor
Neff.

Negro Execution.

LITTLE Rock, April 25.-The Ga
zette's Ozark special says: Charles
Wright (coloreO was hanged at Center
Point, Howard county, to-day, for the
murder last July of Thomas Wyatt, a
white man. Wright was one of a
crowd of negroes who attacked Wyatt
in a field and killed him, but not be-
fore he killed one of them. The affair
created intense excitement. and sever
al hundred negroes, under arms, as
also armed whites, are organized.
State troops were sent to quell the
disturbance, and arrested large num-
Der. Several were sentenced to various
terms in the penitentiary, and Wright
received the death sentence. He ad-
mitted being present at the killing,
but claimed he took no active part,
and maintained this demeanor to the
last, dying without a struggle. Tive
thousand people witnessed the execu-
ton, including many negroes. All is
quiet,
