 Rounds at New London.
 NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Sept. 9.-A short but desperate encounter with bare fists for a purse of $100 took place tonight between George Bell (coloredD, of New Haven, and Mike Welch, of Millstone Point, near this city. The matter was kept so quiet that a large number of sporting men were enabled to attend and conduct the fight without interrup- tion. The scene of the battle was the shanty about four miles up the river which is used during the summer as the Harvard crews headquarters. Three rounds only were fought, at the end of which Welch was com pletely knocked out and unable to respond to the call of time. The work was sharp and bloody while it lasted, being little else than plain slugging, neither man showing much

 Ely Workmen.
 CLEVELAND, Sept. 9.-In the burnt dis trict some of the firms have commenced pill ing lumber and preparing to build their mills. Regarding the origin of the fire a theory has gained ground among few inter ested persons which lays the deed at the door of one or more of the employees of Woods, Perry & Go. It has been reported that on Saturday night the firm gave notice of re- duction to ninety cents of the wages of part of their men, The men were considerably stirred up and one of them it is stated said ''Wel, if you won't pay one dollar day you won't pay ninety cents" and he left. The fire occurred the next night. Many per sons believe some of the workmen were en- gagged in setting it and use an argument that the fire was discovered where the men knew the firm had no insurance on that part of the lumber and being near the river and bridge escaDa yvould be eaSY

A mob of Lynchers Foiled.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Sept. 9.-Bateman, who murdered the two Mclaughlin children on August 31, was removed to this city from Savannah during last night for safe keeping Towards evening the officers received information that between one and two hundred people from the scene of the crime, all heavily armed, had arrived in the city in tending to lynch Bateman. It was decided to remove the prisoner, and accordingly he was spirited away and it is not known where he is. From early evening until 10 o'clock crowd of several hundred people surrounded the jail. Evidently they awaited the arrival of leader. On hearing that Bateman had been rem owed the crowd dis persed, asserting that they would yet hang the murderer

No Sign of the End Coming Net.
 COLUMBUS, O., Sept 9.-Ohio miners were assembled in State convention here to-day to consider the situation. Nothing beyond pre- iminary business has yet been transacted. The proposition to order general strike does not find many advocates, but the lead CTS express disposition to present bold front and maintain the scale of prices here tofore prevailing. There is no disposition to make overtures to the operators, in fact the miners say arbitration has been tried and failed.

The Desperadoes Who Attacked the
 Derby Train Lodged i'm Jail.
 The scoundrels, or two of them, who fired pistols at the Derby train on Monday even ing, were arraigned before Justice Bulluss yesterday charged with a fraudulent eva sion of paying their fare and with trespassing on the property of the Derby railroad. The complaint was first read to the one calling himself Joseph Feathergail He has light complexion, gray eyes, hair cut close, is thirty-fve years of age, and altogether hard looking customer. He pleaded guilty to both counts. John Morgap..was the name the other prisoner gave. He is dark of complex ion, has blue eyes and moustache and is about thirty-fve years of age. He also pleaded guilty. The penalty imposed on each was on the first count $7 and costs and. 30 days in jail, on the second $7 and costs. Chief Martin brought the prisoners strongly handcuffed to the jail in this city on the noon train. The charge of shooting could not be brought against Feathergail in Bir- mingham, but Lawyer Gager stated that in all probability the proceedings against him for assault with intent to kill will be brought about by bench warrant. It is generally
  neither of the two prisoners, but the man who escaped. The pistol found on one of the prisoners is single -barreled one and con tained an empty cartridge shell. On the pris- oners were found several new pocketbooks, new jackknives, bunch of keys, thread, needles, pack of cards, and $3. 93 in money.
