RICHMOND, Nov. 1S.-The democrats
of this city had a grand celebration
this evening. The procession occu-
pied an hour and q half passing a
given point. The streets were ablaze
with fire works. Many houses were
illuminated; members of the Rich
mond Prtss, clad in rich knightly
armors and costumes led the process
sion. Then followed various political
organizations of this city and other
parts, and then all business interests
and hundreds of mounted citi-
zens estimated from 5000 to 10000
persons were in the line. Sidewalks
along the rout. were packed and
every window and other available
point was occupied with spectators.

was the presence in line of club of
colored democrats from Charlotte

number of celored men from tins city
and Lynchhurg.
When the procession reached the end
of the route the company united in
singing an ode, the concluding verse

That old acquaintance is renewed
And no false border line divides
The land our fathers won
In the days of auld lang syne.
Speaking then began and was cen
tinued until near midnight.

Sullivan and Greenfield.

New YORK, Nov. IS Instead of
attended "the Sullivan seances, not
more than 1900 were in Madison
square garden tonight when Green
field, the English pugilist, and Sulli-
van met for four three-minute rounds,
under Marquis of Queensbury rules.
The men were not permitted to con-
tinue their friendly set.to" for any
considerable time, however, for
Capt. Williams was of the opin-
ian that they were engaged
in fight aud stopped them in the
middle of the second round, arrested
them and took them to the station
house. The finishing round was
about as follows: In round 2nd both
men came up on springy pins. Green
field spared and danced for an open
ing, found it and let 60 his right,
which found Sullivan's face. The
latter began to look wicked, but while
he was picking out a place to wreck
the Br.ton in friendly way, the
foreigner tapped him on the forehead
with his right. Sullivan was stuns and
rushed Greenfield TO the ropes and
some quick in fighting followed.
Greenfield again cliuched, and was
warned by the referee to stop such
tactics. The mob was on its feet and
Sullivan again went for lis antago-
mist. He slapped the Engllshman's
face to the hue of poppy, and made
him glare wildly. Another clinch,
another clinch. another warning, and
more shouting. Greenfield was made
to feel that "clinching" was consld-
cred an evidence of weakness, and
began to work his arms like wind
mills in a hurricand. Sullivan had
set his teeth, and both men were
about to show how friendly" they
could be. Sullivan made a rush,
Greenfield met it, and both men
bounded apart. Tney sprang at each
other again and four arms played to
and fro like the cross threads of
silk loom. Sullivan clipped stain
the right temple, the blood
was On Sullivan's gloves. Captain
Williams stepped between the two
men and stopped the fight. Time OF
round two minutes Each man went
to his corner. Capt. Williams stepped
to the ropes and exchanged words
with Chief of Police Walling, who
stood upon the steps, and then as Sui
livan and Greenfield were again ad-
vancing from their respective corners
toward each other, Capt. Williams
stepped between them and arrested
each. ct the time of pulling the glove
from Greenheld's right hand, the
master of ceremonies declared the
match in Sullivan's favor, and the
contestants were taken to the 29th
precinct station house. Chief Walllng
ordered the arrest. Sullivan will re
ceive 65 and Greenfield 35 per cent. OF
the gate money.

quently released on bail.

Experiences I'm the Early Discovery
of Gold-Some Anecdotes of Luck
Among the Mines.

There returned to this city Wednes-
day last, says The Providence (R l.

who was with the original discoverer
of gold in the state of California in
1S45 Though 73 years of age, and
has seen many days of hardship, he
is in fine health, and tells some won
derfally interesting stories of life ia
a mining camp. I'm 1874" he said
to Telegram reporter, there came
10 Providence a young man named
James Wilson Marshall, then q years
of age, to whom the world is indebted
for a discovery which started the pros
eerity of California, and made an
epoch in modern history. The foun-
dation of CALIFORNIA; wealth was laid
by his sagacity. Marshall was born
in 1912, and on coming to this city,
opened a small wheelwrlght shop on
old Westminster street. He Gid not
enjoy the best of health in his early
age, and by the advice of physicians,
came 10 this state from New Jersey.
He was one of those roaming kind of
fellows, and had not been here long
before he proposed that he aud
four others should go west. The
party comprised of J. B. Scott,
D. W. Dewing, Marshall, and
myself. Indiana and Illinois
were visited, but as MarshaIl's
health did not improve, we moved on
toward California. Joining train of
wagons May, 1874. We reached Cache
creek in June, 1S45, and there camp
ed, seing about forty miles from Sac
ramento, or where 1T stands now.
There the party divided, some going
one way and some another. Our party
went to Suffers fort, Sacramento
county, where we entered into the ser
wee of Gen Sutter. Shortly after
we separated and went to stock-rais-
ing. Marshall having a farm of two
leagues in area. Then the Mexicans
made daring attempt to stop Ameri-
cans from coming from California to
the rich lands, and massacred a colony
of emigrants. This lead to the Bear
Flag war, in which we all assisted as
volunteers. The fighting was frequent
and severe, and we took part in all
the engagements of the campaign.
