May 16, 1884. To Henry ". Oliver. jr.-Sir:-I have read your letter Oliver. jr.-SnstaHt with pleasure and prof the 18th iu have over locked Q few points will with your per mission endeavor to supply the omissions and in the brief interval allowed me from ar- duous congressional duties beg to inquire: 1st, What was the duty recommended by the 'fOhver commission" (p. 27) on wire rods barbed wire. etc, well known specialties of Oliver Bros and Phlilips3 Second, How does it occur that under the operation of the Oliver tariff you have been enabled to purchase two new wire mills. one blast furnace and partnership in the Hartman mill, while other hills are con- tent with the old-fashioned ten per cent.2 Third, How does it occur that under the be- nign operation of the Oliver tariff the mills of Oliver brothers in Pittsburg are enabled to run the whole year, while other iron mills run on an average but four months in the year. Fourth, Now that you are operating blast furnaces will you inform the public whether you hold the same view on raw materials you did (page 132) when on the tariff commission, and if not, why not? Fifsh, Will you kindly in- form an anxious public how many of the g.. 15 per day employees enjoy the benefit of the Oliver tariff ? I would suggest that SO far as wire rods, barbed wire, etc., are con- cerned, the Oliver tariff report might be ap- propriately termed 8 bill for ''the relief of Oliver Bros. and Phillips"
 Very respectfully yours,

of the board of directors this week it is un derstood that the superintendent, Dr. Tabey, will tender his resignation. The following letter by former attendant of the institution to person apparently official is suggestive:
 CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 13, 1882.
 Dear Earl went to see Silley yesterday. He is the man who has charge of the dissect, ing room at the college He will pay S15 net for every body you ship to him. Mark clearly and plainly to No. 1O3 West Sixth street It is better to ship in box and do not mark it spickled pork" or anything of that sort as it serves to excite suspicion.
 The writer is 8 physician in Cincinnati. The story of the letter is as follows: A young attendant named Brenner assisted Earl. it seems, to pay the ''stiffs" and hap pening to see the letter took possession of it, shortly after which he was discharged. Bren- ner's father made it public As to whether bodies were shipped to Cincinnati there is lAkle doubt Physicians formerly in the asy- lum admit the truth of the matter One even says the ''stiff'' discovered in the express ofics in Dayton was none other than the re- mains of Samuel Sellers, an old patient sixty years of age.

A Sunday Glove Fight Pete Mccoy
 Knocks Out the Champion of the
 Western Territories.
 BUTTE, May 18.-The prize fight between Pete Mccoy and Duncan McDona!d came of to-day in the presence of three thousand people. The ring was drawn on the race track and the vast crowd preserved perfect order, perhaps in respect to the stringency of the police regu- lations The stakes were $500 side and there was but little betting on the outside. McDonald's weight was 162 pounds and McCey tipped the beam at 142. McOoy was in magnificent form, but Mcdonald, who stood up to-day in the prize ring for the first time, did not produce so favorable an impression. McOoy was until going into training for this fight member of the Sullivan combination, with which or ganization he last winter travelled all over the country, setting to with Sullivan and Steve Taylor. He halls from New York city. When the Sullivan combination exhibited here last winter he knocked out one of the heavy weights of this district and was in consequence immediately challenged by Me Oonalos Ine cnamplon heaVy WelgnE of the western territories It was confidently expected that Mccoy would not dare to return to Butte and fight owing to the bad blood that has existed against him since his previous visit with the Sullivan combination. The fact. however, of his bear ing letters to the sheriff and other prominent persons here asking that fair play be shown him resulted in his being received by the local sports with all due courtesy. The figh was long and bitter. Thirty-one rounds were fought according to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. The men were first pho- tograpned on the platform, after which Mo- Coy offered to bet Mcdonald $500 that he would win the fight, but Mcdonald had no money. N. B. RingelinR was referee. In the thirty first and last round Mcdonald was spitting blood and badly punished. His left eye was closed and the left side of his face swelled like ''pizened pulp" McOoy after sparring for an opening landed his left on McDonald's neck and knocked him out. Mcdonald was carried of the platform. Mccoy was slightly punished, but is about this evening. Mcdonald was badly punished and is io bed. No one is permitted to se> him. Mccoy says this was the hardest fight he ever had. Both were game Mcdonald wanted to continue the fight after being knocked out.

Too Much Marrfed-A Musician With
 Duplicate Wives and Names.
 NEWPORT, May 18.-A case of alleged big amy has justcome to light here. Charles E. Kaufman is musician in the band attache d to the training ship New Hampshire. On January 8, 1884, he married in this city Miss Cecelia Schontezeler, daughter of highly respectable German family. Of late her brothers have surmised that there was some- thing wrong about Kaufman. They were informed that while in Boston as 8 member and, passed as Arthur Graf. They made dili- gent inquiry in Boston and were convinced that Kaufman and Graf were the same. They further learned that he was married in Anna polls to the woman who passed as his wife in Boston, her maiden name being Emma Asher back. The ceremony was performed in December, 1877. He then gave his name as Graf Wife No. was heard from last night. She is at present in Annapolis, but forwarded her marriage certificate and expressed will linguess to appear here when wanted. She was requested to come to Newport at once Kaufman, learning that there was something in the wind," called upon lawyer, to whom he ad- mitted that he had married Miss Asherback, who he alleges left him, and he further claimed that he thought she was dead when he married the Newport woman, The law yer called upon the brothers of the Newport wife to-day and vainly endeavored to have the matter kept quiet until Kaufman could obtain divorce from wife No l. The re- quest, however, wss not needed, and Kauff- man will doubtless be arrested before morn ing. The parents of the Newport wife are but are determined to let the law take it's course. Kaufman, while at tached to the traininR squadron, has borne 8 good character, and has had the confidence of Luce and the officers of the station. Detective officers have dogged Kaufman for several days, and he cannot leave tha cikv without their notice
