KILLED & pueIL1sr.
An Old Fued Ended-A Terrible Fight With
Knives and Pistols.


WABASH, IND, Sept 1l.-Jacob Madden,
noted bruiser and shoulder.hitter, last
night shot and instantly killed James An
derson, q farmer living near spikerville,
who figured as slugger in local circles.
The troublegrew outot quarrel OF several
years standing, aud is the elimination OF
series Of fights in which neither has gain
ed the advantage. Madden was sitting in
Rolfs saloon, when Henderson entered
and insuited him. Madden knocked An
derson down, kicked his face to a Jelly,
and when he reg4ined his feet and rushed
at Madden with knife in his hand, Mad
den fired, the ball entering Anderson's
head. Death was almost instantaneous,
and Anderson lay weltering in his gore
for nearly an hour before he was removed
to an undertakers.
Two OF Anderson's 8 brothers, crazed with
LIQUOR, an hour after the shooting, which
occurred at 8 o'clock, made riotnus demon:
ssrations, attacking Sheriff Walters and
Marshal Ellis with knives. Their friends
ioined in the onslaught on the officers,
who made plucky fight and cracked hall
a dozen heads. They landed several
prisoners in jail Just in time TO prevent an
outbreak. Maiden hes disappeared.

pondent thrilling story Of the loss Of the
Norwegian bark, RAgeland, Of Hazgesund,
and OF his rescue OF the four survivors, as
follows: az sailed from Rockland, Me-,
August 2, bound for this place. About 9
P. N. on the 18th inst. we suddenly ran
into q lot Of wreckage, and presently fell
foul OF 4 ships hswSer. About il o'clock
We were startled by the despairing cries
Of several men. We shouted back and
hove to, expecting TO See boat pull to-
ward us. No boat came, but the cries
continued, and at last we heard feeble
voice begging US for Gods sake
to send help quickly, or ii would
be too late. We launched boat
with the mate and two men, who pulled
In the direction from which the cries
came. After short time the boat return
ed with two men, Svend Helgesen, the
second mate, and seaman Bard Hendrick-
sen, and boy named Nilsson, whom they
had picked up in the last stage Of ex-
haustion, floating on rough raft They
reported that they formed part Of the
crew ofth ill-fated bark RAgeland. With
the exception Of Steward Knuldt and Nil.
son, whom, the next morning after an
anxious search We picked up, they are the
only survivors. When Helgesen was
strong enough to tell his story, he said that
the Rageland had capsized in fearful
gale on the morning after the 10th.
The captain and several ot the crew
managed TO cling onto the keel, but the
gale was 80 furious that 1t soon swept
them of, and they we're seen no more.
Helgesen and the boy Nilsson were sinking
when, with last effort, they clutched at
q plank drifting by, and hanging to II like
grim death, managed to keep their heads
above water till several more planks and
bits OF rope floating their way, they were
able, though terribly weak and bruised, to
make rude loose raft, on which they
passed that night.
In the morning Hendricksen succeeded
in joining them, and the steward, who
had also escaped drowning, following
their example, made second raft. All
suffered much from thirst and hunger
Onthe 1lth they sighted steamer, but
we're not perceived. About midday OF the
18th another steamer bore down towards
them, eastward.bound. Leaving the boy
and the steward on the RATS TO signal the
vessel with q jacket and upright plank,
HelResen and Hendricksen knocked four
deals together and padded with bit Of a
board right across the track Of the steamer,
shrieking and splashiIg to attract the
attent on Of the officers. whom they could
plainly distinguish on the bridge.
Though less than half mile In the dis.
tance, the steamer either did not see or
would not heed them. The poor fellows
yelled themselves house, but in vain, as
the vessel passed and vanished. This was
in broad daylight and on calm sea.
Somehow they found strength to rejoin
the lad, and drif.ed about glowing fainter
every moment till we proyidentially heard
their shouts and rescued them"

NEw York, Sept. ll.-Paddy Ryan, who

months to meet John L. Sullivan, return

anxious to meet Sullivan per agreement
to spar on their merit to finish. "Sulli-

nine rounds with bare knuckles to whip

"when he wanted the time Of the fight
extended from the 10Th to the 26th, he
knew that the Minstrel party would en-
join him through the courts. There is no
reason yet why he does not consent to

10 go into training at great expense and

pend o large sum Of money in preliminary
preparations for this meeting, when from

He swore that he would not
disappoint Mr.. Dunn and he has
broken his word. I can whip him

The ffeh annual fair OF the West vir-
ginia Exposition and State Fair Associa-
ton is an unexpected and overwhelming
success, with an attractive days pro-
rramme yet to hear from. The crowd
yesterday was probably half again as big
as that OF Thursday. To estimate the
crowd in attendance at 1000 is to run the
risk OF being criticised for drawing it too
mildly. There certainly were 5000 peo-
Pile on the grounds at one time OF another
during the day.
As on the day before the large majority
Of the people we're from out OF town,
though there was q more liberal sprink-
ling OF towns people than on Thursday.
The very general suspension Of business
in the city, and the holiday given the
public school children contributed TO this
end. There was an unusual number OF
children to be seen about the buildings
and grounds, the Association having ad-
mitted them at 20 cents each. 1t was
probably as big day il every respect as
any ever experienced by the Association.
The receipts at the main entrance were
S275 larger than on Friday OF last year,
and It's fair presumption that at the
other gates the same increased proportion
held good.

wAsurxe7oS O. H., ONO, Sept. H.
Hon. John Little, Congressman OF the
Eighth district, who has been here since
Wednesday noon, furnishes the following
to the papers this morning:
The destruction here is not go generally
sweeping as at jamestown, but it is vastly
greater. The general course Of the tor
nado was from the southwest to the north
west. It's general width was about 600
feet, with occasional breaks to the right or
left. In its course OF mile and q
half in town 1t Is the exception
that any square escaped injury. In most
Of them the damage to property is marked
and in some fearful. The business por-
ton suffered most. The injuries ranged
from the shatteripg OF windows to every
8eage of demolition. II single house in
this portion escaped harm have not mo-
ticed the exception. In two blocks alone
practical men have estimated the loss 70
buildings at $50 900. The damage to goods
In these will not fall under $4,000. No
class Of property escaped. Dwellings Of
all grades, public halls, churches and
school houses fell . prey to the storms
fury.
The individual losses as shown by est-
mates OF the committees will exceed
quarter Of a million. These are total, IS
they are not covered by insurance. They
fab most largely, but not most disastrously,
upon business men. The devastation
will be most seriously felt by the poor,
who have come in for their full share. l
should say as many as forty houses occu-
pied by poor families were utter demol-
ished. The relief committee estimate
for all the subcommittee have
not reported-that hundred families
will need assistance, because Of losses in
Cured. Some OF them as l know
from personal observation are rendered
destitute. Numbers OF them are in the
streets in borrowed clothing. The busi-
ness men, as rule, will be heavily bur-
dened to make their own necessary re-
pairs. Aid for the suffering poor must
therefore come from outside sources. It
will require many thousands Of dollars to
and prevent suffering, and there
should be no delay in furnishing aid.
There Is reluctance among citizens to
ask for outside assistance. They should
not be required to ask it; it should come
without asking, and come generously.
Winters close at hand and the relief COM
mittee, which is 4 most excellent one, will
have all it can do with all needed funds at
hand to provide shelter for the necessi-
tous. Every dollar sent TO the Chairman,
Colonel 81. B. Maynard, Washington @.
H., will be eonscientuously applied to the
relief Of the needy poor. thrust the neees-
sity for prompt assistance will be appre-

there was some action by Congress at once
