SULLIvAN,S NEW PUGILIST.
He Discovers Giant IN the Far West
and Brings Him East.

New YORK, Nov. 81.
The Sun says-There is a giant coming
East who promises to astonish the people,
and paralyze the pubilists John l.. Sullivan
discovered him in the far West and is going
to send out Pat Sheedy to bring him on and
make man of him. The giants name is
Dan Murphy and he lives in Portland, Ore,
or very near there. He has never learned to
fight scientifically, but promises to make H
great man.
This is the description which Sullivan gives
him. He is six feet eight inches high and
built in proportion. His weight is 29l pounds
without any fat on him and he is as active as
the best of them. He has got a fighters head,
good shoulders and thick neck and If he is
rightly hadled he'll a 800 pound daisy and no
mistake. 1t is generally believed that Mr..
Sullivsn's intention is not to rear up an
antagonist worthy of him, so much as to
produce some one to take his place and upon
whom to let fall his mantle. The great Bos-
tonion seriously contemplates retiring, espec-
ially since Justice has been leading him such
dance and he doesn't want to make his bow
to the American people, which has done so
much for him without doing something in
return.

FRAUDS UNEARTHED
Which Give the Republicans OF Illinois

CHICAGO, Nov. 81.
few DAYS ago il was announced in these
dispatches that Brand, dem, according to the
returns TO the esnvassing board. was elected
to the State Senate from the 9th district, in-
stead of Leeman, rep, who had majority ac-
cording to the police returns, thus giving the
democrats majority in the legislature on
joint ballot and the power to elec, IT, s
Senator 10 succeed Logan. The difference
was found TO be in the 2nd precinct of the S,h
ward. where the police returns gave Leeman.
4S0 and Brand PA The returns to the can
vassing board gave Leeman 220 and Brand
4I+, thus making change of 400 votes in
favor of Brand, and giving him a majority of
10. The figures on the tally sheet seemed to
be original figures. showing no signs of era
sure, but figures ia the poll book appeared to
have stood as in the police returns. but to
have been subsequently, erased and made to
correspond with the tally sheet This after
noon the district attorney presented the
matter to the United States grand Jury
and the republican Judge in the precinct,
supervisor of the election and members of
the canvassing board were summoned to
appear forthwith. The board was also
ordered to bring the ballot box aud returns
for that precinct The county clerk, in whose
charge the ballot box is, appeared with the
others, and stated that by advice of the
counsel he decided to bring the ballot box,
and that part of the order was waived for the
time being, and the clerk was sent for the
returns. He did not come back, and the
grand jury finally adjourned with orders that
all parties be brought before that body
tomorrow forenoon. In the meantime n
squad of police is guarding the ballot box.

BosToN, Nov. 81.
Notices are posted this week in all the
shops in Hopedsle. that owing to the general
dullness in business 1t might be necessary
to make general cut down and the help were
advised to obtain, if possible, other jobs at
present if possible. The shops are the Hope
dale Machine Co., butcher Temple Co. and
George Draper & Sons, and are extensive
manufacturers of cotton machinery, employ
ing several hundred hands.
New YORK, Nov. 81.
Notices were conspiculously posted in the
carpet mill of Alexander Smith & Sons in
Yonkers yesterday. informing the 5000 hands
employed that their wages would be reduced
ten per cent. Mr. Smith, junior partner
said that the reduction was caused by steady
decrease of trade and was necessary one.
He said he did not fear any trouble from the
hands and did not fear they would strike.
As to the current report that the mills would
be run on three-qusrters time and finally be
shut down. he said 1--WE will not run on
three-quarters time, | can assure you, but
we will close entirely, that is for the winter
until trade picks up" One of the employees
said the reduction was hard blow to all of
them. Their wages, he said. were low and
with winter at hand it would be hard matter
for them to pull through and he did not be-
lieve that the hands would strike as it would
be only taking the bread out of their own
childrtns mouths. Yonkers has popula-
tion of 1900. over one tenth of whom are
employed in the mill. The monthly pay
roll of the mill is sl50,000.
Notice has been given to the workmen of
the North Chicago rolling mills of a shut
down, beginning next Saturday, owing to the
iullness of the trade. Eighteen hundred
men will be thrown out of employment.

not all reasons why Mr.. Blaine was defeated.
find the following "order of Postmaster
General Hatton requiring the New York post
office with its thousands of clerks and carriers
to be kept open, prevented enough republi.
cans from voting to have overcome what is
now claimed as Mr.. Cleveland's plurality.
The usual order was posted in the New York
office Monday, saying that after 10 O'Clock on
election day the clerks could take holiday.
Monday night, by Mr.. Hatton's order, this
was overruled. and the clerks living in distant
parts of the city who had to go to work before
the poles opened and remain till after they
had closed, were unable to vote
No such an order as that referred TO by
Mr.. Clsrkson was issued by myself There
is no law authorizing the closing of post
offices on election days Prior to the elec-
ton. dispatches were received from many
places asking authority to close offices. These
were answered as has ALWAYS been the Gus
tom of the department, to the effect that
there was no law authorizing the closing of
offices on election day.
Clarkson says my order was issued Monday
night. If Clarkson did not know, his chief
on the committee, Mr.. Elkins. did know that
| was not in Washington at the time, but in
Burlington, Iowa, as the following despatch
will show:
"NEw YORK, Nov. 3.
Frank Hatton, postmasttr general, Burling
ton, Iowa:
Ii is said at the postoffice in this city that
the letter carriers are not 10 have the usual
holiday during the election. and that an order
has been issued TO that effect. This will lose
us many hundred votes Can you telegraph
some remedy? Answer.
S B ELKINs."
To this replied that there was no law
making election day a holiday, but that the
postmaster at n York, if he desires, could
certainly arrange to allow the employees OF
his office vote without seriously interfering
with the delivery of the mails Ii seems the
above despatch from Elkins or one similar
was also sent to Hazen, who was then acting
postmaster general. and who answered it as
follows, the despatch being sent the night
before election:
Al. G. Pearson, postmaster at New York
Please give employees full opportunity to
exercise the right of suffrage.
(Signed) A. d. HAzES,
Acting postmaster general"
Had ClarksOn or Elkins been postmaster
general at the time, they might have issued
an order closing all postofices in the United
States during election day, but hardly think
they would have done so after reading the
law. Very resp'y.,

The eColeridge.Adams Libel Suit in Court
A Choice Bat for English Gos-
sips.
LoNDoy Nov 81

LONDON, Nov. 2l
A notable case came on for trial today.
Action is brought hy Frank Montell Adams,
London barrister, gsinst Bernard Coleridge,
son of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge. Adams,
who conducts his own case, stated in his
opening speech that he was engaged 10 a
daughter of Judge Coleridge. who objected
to him for a son-in-law, and induced his son
Bernard 10 write letter to his daughter.
libelling him (AdaIns). The Young lady
turned the letter over to her betrothed This
action led to her expulsion from her father
house and the expulging of her name from
her fathers will.
Miss Coeridge at once answered her
brothers letter. She said she was ashamed
of him for writing in such way. She could
prove that the statements he had made about
Adams were false and she was resolved TO
put an end 10 his bac&biting and slandering
Doubtless. she said, he had not invented the
miserable falsehoods which he had written
but he had made himself responsible for them
Unless he retracted his false statements or
gave the name of the person who had told
them to him, she would hand the letter over
TO Adams and ask him TO take steps to protect
both of them from future attacks. To this
letter of his sister, Bernard made no reply
and his letter was consequently placed in
Adams hands. Adams denied the truth OF
the assertion made by Bernard that
he had eloped with a girl under age. He
married lady "a years old, with whom he
passed 10 years of unclouded existence. He
denied all the other allegations made in
Bernard's letter and said that Bernard was
actuated by desire to get contral of his
sister money.
Mr. Adams contended that Bernard and his
father had thrust the MARRIAGE IN him He
was thrown much in the society of Miss
Coleridge in charitable institution, of which
he was secretary and she was a member. At
the time, he had no intention of marriage.
he was much astouished when he received a
letter from Lord Coleridge breaking off the
engagement. The judge ruled that these
statements were inadmissible. Adams replied
that in that case he might as well throw up

ON AN ELEVATED TRACK.
Great Pedestrian Match in England,
Commencing Monday.

LONDON, Nov. u.
Great interest is manifested in the six day
pedestrian contest which is to be given just
after midnight on Moniay morning, at TIL
Westminster aquarium by Rowell, Little,
Wood, Day, Simpson and fifteen others who
have entered. They are all reported as in
good condition and likely to start. The most
novel feature of the arrangements will be the
elevated track. 1t will have nine laps to
mile and will be raised on the trestle work
three feet above the floor, beginning about on
a level with the galleries, from which, how
ever, it will be separated by a space of sew
eral feet. This will give all spectators an
excellent view of the contest. Rowell pro-
poses to allow himself only the briefest pos
sible intervals of rest and no sleep at al
except what he can get while walking. He
has made a bet of $1,000 even that his absence
from the track will not aggregate one hour
during the six days and nights of the
tramp.
