THE Republican Convention at Richie
Court House last saturday Is described as
regular Kilkenny cat squabble, and resulted
in split. The fight was made By DAVIS
and CoRE against MORRIS, but NoRRs, who
had prO6ted by his visi, to the Buckhannon
Convention, had the pins well set up, and
came out ahead. The Greenbackers Of
Richie are not fond of crow meat, and vii
not fuse with the Republicans.

Charles Taylor, tho champion colored mid
dle-weight pugilist of East Washington, and
Allen Crown, tho champion colored boxer of
South Washington, fought four rounds, with
gloves, at the Theatre Comique, last Saturday
night, before rather large audience. Taylor
was declared winner of the purse of 500 and
the championship of the district before the
close Of the fourth round. While some heavy
hitting was INDUCED in at times, the fight as
whole could not be termed "sluggng
match" Taylor is taller than his adversary,
and is well built, and of copper color.
Crown is short, muscular, and very black.
The first round opened with several face
blows on both sides and considerable dodging.
Crown struck Taylor about the face with
great rapidity until the latter got in heavy
blow on Crowns jaw, which sent him back
against the scenery and put him more on the
defensive. Time was called with neither
man winner of the round.
In the second round Taylor closed in oil

The third round was devoted to quick passa.

for the murder of James Spencer. stating that
he did so for the purpose OF having an early
day fixed for the trial. lie said that in an
interview with District Attorney Worthing-
ton thoy had agreed on Monday week as the
day. Mr.. Langston, the father of the defend
ant, was here, and wished TO be present at
the hearing, while his position required him
elsewhere, which was one of the reasons for
seeking an early trial. Assistant District
Attorney Taggart understood that Monday
had been agreed upon, but since the fixing of
the date his office had learned that the Bigelow
case was set down for hearing in the court in
banc for the same day, and the date of this
trial would therefore have to be changed. He
would suggest Wednesday, the 2lst instant
which was agreed to.
