A FINE RlFLE MATCH.
,vRR OK rnE NEW ISL AND r NeEi


Yesterday afternoon avery interesting
shooting match took place between o
team 'front.' Wheeling Rifle Club and Q
team Of the Bsllaire Liederkranz-sc heut-
zsnyerein at the range Of the home club on
the old fair grounds on the Island. The
club, by the wey, has fixed up for itself a
yery convenient 200 yard range, with q
club house and other accessories. The
match wos the second one that has been
shot by the two teams, and, like the first,
resulted largely in iayorof the Wheeling
shots.
The frst match was shot at Bellaire
July 9th. AT that time both teams were
composed often men, the Wheelingites
under command Of Capt. Otto Jaeger, who
has became very expert and sure shot
and the Bsliaire men under command OF
Mr.. +. Neiningsr. TIE total score on
Tint occasion was, Beliaire 6le, W hecltng
$50, but before commencing the match the
Wheeling men in consideration OF being
allowed 70 use their own rifles agreed to .
reduction OF their points from each mans
score, which left the Wheeling club loo
points ahead atthat mStch, and the Bel
lai,e men had to pay for the supper and
reireshment.
Yesterday afternoons match was shot
uuder the most favorable circumstances.
The day was o perfect one, being Just
warm and clear enough, and without too
much wind. The range was one OF lUO
yards, and tho target regulation Massa,
ichusatts. The BelIaire men insisted on
lthe Wheeling men using the rifles oil the
Be1laire men, which the Wheelingites
readily consented to do, and which fact
only added to the glory Of their victory,
The Wheeling club appeared with eleven
men and there were only ten Bellsire
shots. After several propositions hee
been made and rejected Ballaire selected
five Of her men and they drew for the
privilege OF shooting twice. Mr.. Kun
| bach vas the lucky man, and as he Is &C
counted Bellaire's best shot the presump'
ton is that Bsllaire did ss well 81 she
could have possibly done under any cir
cumstances. The total scores were as fol
lows: - :. Z,

In addition to The losing club paying fol
the supper and refreshments it YVES made
a further condition that the club getting
The fewest balIseyes should pay for ell the
cigars required. Ballaire had only II to
the Wheeling meu's II butlseyes, aud the
Ohio men had TO foot the bill for a second
time.
The supper was served at Blumenbergs
and was very much enjoyed BY all. At
the former match Bellaire had 10 bulls
eyes to the Wheeling mems 16. In yes
terday's match Bellaire's men missed the
target Ave times.
The Wheeling men are very much
elated over their double victory and they
propose to achieve further victories. It
Is very likely that they will challenge the

people on Garth have ever endured Tor
the Same length Of time, and that, with
Recommending them, they ecu only be

Gen. sherman Against Jefferson Davis.
THE FORMERS SHARP LETTER SAYING THE CONFEp-
ERATE PRESIDENT ENROLLED HIS NAME WITH THOSE
OF ARNOLD AED BURR.
Gen. Sherman has stated his side of the contro-
versy with Mr. Jefferson Davis, in long letter ad-
dressed to the secretary OF War; which he requests
shall be filed with the records Of the war; In his
letter Gen. Sherman reiterates the charge that he
had seen papers which convinced him that Mr..
Jefferson Davis, president OF the southern con-
lederacy, mad during the progress OF the war
changed his states rights doctrine and had threat
ened to use force-even Lees army-shoud any
state OF the confederacy attempt to secede from
that government" Gen. Sherman claims that
Cows Brown. OF Georgia, and Vance, OF North Caro-
lima, now u. s. Senator'S were anxious to take their
they were Overawed by Mr.. Davis "I feel for
Senators Brown and Vance" he adds ga strony
personal respect, and believe their action during
the war and since has been manly and fair: but
there was correspondence between the governors
OF states In rebellion with the Richmond authori-
ties about the cOnscrpt law, the suspension OF the
writ OF habeas corpus and the Of state trOOpS
which, II published, would be valuable contribu-
ton to the 'hiStory of our times.'" Gen Sherman
makes bitter personal attack upon Mr. Davis and
declares that she enrolled hts name with those or Ar
mold and Burr instead of-aS he might have DONE
with Washington and Lincoln" Appended to Gen.
ShermanS letter Is copy OF the ''Secret" message
OF Mr. Davis OF February g. 1884 to the confederate
congress. The message gives Mr.. Davis reasons
why, in his opinion, the writ OF habeas corpus
should be suspended. 1t Is OF great length and
has been already made public.

NATTER.
Saturday afternoon, in the Senate Indian lease
investigation, Mr. Augustus c. Ivey testified that
he had been the editor OF newspaper in the Cher
okee nation. He said he was compelled to give up
rancho he had located because OF the leases made
for grazing purposes. He had heard great deal OF
talk about how the measure providing for the
leases was passed through the Cherokee council
1t was general talk that money was used He
knew OF only one man, member OF the council,
who got money, and that man is dead. He admit
ted TO witness that he was paid for his vote, and
justified his action on the ground that he dying
with consumption and needed the money. He said
1t just like picking it up In the road he got 1t
so easy. The witness mentioned other persons
whom rumOr said were bribed. Mr. lvey was con-
fdent that a large majority OF the Cherokees op-
pose the leases, and have always been against
them.

ENcE THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL
The Indian leases investigation was resumed this
morning with the testimony OF Mr.. Crittenden, a
member Of the Cherokee council at the time the
was pending, man named Starr told witness that
he STARRY could make 500 $500 II witness would

money was used TO influence the passage OF the
bill, though none offered TO witness nor did he
know OF any being paid to any person. member
OF the council named Samuels told witness he could
make $4OO OF the bill If witness would vote for it.
Witness made the statement while the bill was
pending that If it passed money would do it. A
man named French Rowe said in witness presence
he had been offered $50 to support the bill The
CherOkees would prefer to Craze cattle of their own
ON the land, but now that the leases are made
witness believed the Indians were generally willing
to let the leSsees have them for the term pre-
Scribed.
MIR. WI Miles, Indian agent at the Usage agency,
testified that those Indians had leased about
acres Of land to seven lessees for ten years.
at yearly rental of from three to four cents per
