De Lesseps Enraged Over Criticisms Made
by American Newspapers.
LONDON, Dec I'm. De Lesseps has just re-
ceived various American newspapers which crit
icise, in harsh terms, his Panama canal. The
veteran canaldigger is very indignant but tries
to console himself with the reflection that this
abuse of his pet enterprise is prompted only by
jealousy. He is especially irritated at the sug-
gestion of certain Boston paper that the
French people will soon tire Of supplying cash
for the canal, and that then the United States
can buy it cheap. M De Lesseps swears that
the company will never sell the canal, even If
such act were possible; that as a matter Of
fact the investors will ultimately receive divi-
dends which will probably equal of those of the
Suez CANAL that the French nation will never
desert the enterprise, and that he will live to
sail through the canal himself.

Gov. ABBETT's CONDITION Gov. Alb
bett is reported to be preparing his mes
sage at his home in Jersey City. He went
to Trenton the other day. Mr.. Fuller,
his law partner, says:
The Governor has been working hard
during the last year, at his business, and
the time that he might have had to re-
cuperate from his labor has been given to
the performance of his duties at Trenton.
He also took an active part in the last
political campaign, and the result was
that from the great number of things
that were pressing upon his attention,
and requiring prompt and energetic ac-
ton, his physical system was worn out
and needed rest, which he could not
find time to take. While in this low state
of health he caught heavy cold in the
head, and an abscess was developed in
ternally in one of his ears. This was
about three weeks ago, and for a week he
did not come to his office here or attend
to any public business. He came to New
York every day, however, and visited a
prominent ear specialists for treatment.
The abscess, though exceedingly painful,
was never considered serious, as it broke
externally and was not complicated with
any other disease. He has been at his
office hard at work every day for the last
two weeks, except when attending to his
duties at Trenton, and his mental powers
are as strong and vigorous as they ever
were.

The Doylestoscn Democrat reports a
prize fight as having taken place in this
city. If one occurred, it must have been
very quiet one, for the first news of it
comes from an outside source. Below we
give the Democrats story. If true, the
attention of our authorities should be
given to it at once:
PRIZE FIGHT IN LAMBERTvILLE.-
Meagre particulars have just come to
light of prize fight, fought at Lambert
vile, on Thanksgiving day, between
Samuel Niblick, of Lahaska and mike"
Mullen, of Solebury. The affair was very
quietly arranged and none but the princi-
pals and few of their friends knew any
thing of it at the time. So secretly were
the arrangements made that the authori-
ties failed to hear the slightest whisper
concerning the fight. The place selected
was a room back of saloon in Lambert
vile. On the morning of Thanksgiving
day, the room was put in proper order for
the fight. The men went over from this
side of the Delaware, each party accom-
panied by several friends. Although
some doubts were expressed by the friends
as to whether the fight would come off,
there was an air about the principals that
meant business, aud precluded the posi-
bility of fizzle. It was plain to be seen
that both men were in dead earnest. Ar
rived at the rendezvous the party lost no
time getting ready for action. The rega-
lar prize ring rules were adopted and

read mess, Mullen and Niblick stepped in
to the ring, shook hands and retired to
their respective corners. They appeared
to be pretty evenly matched. The first
round was rather tame, though each suf-
fered some vigorous taps. They were
evidently novices in the ring, and science
played an insignificant part iD the pro-
ceedings. In the second and third rounds
both men took and gave some terrific
blows. Science was forgotten and bull
dog strength was the telling element in
the contest. At the end of the third
round both men were pretty badly pun
ished, but Mullen seemed the fresher of
the two while Niblick looked "blowed''
and pretty well used up. They each SEEM
ed to realize that the next round would
be the last and accordingly they fought
desperately. Mullen finally got in a ter
rife blow on Niblick, which stretched
him senscless on the floor. When time
was called for the fifth round, Niblick
was still insensible. His seconds threw
up the sponge, and the referee declared
Mullen the victor. Niblick was long
time regaining consciousness and both
men were terribly punished. The specta-
tors then quietly left the building, and all
the parties, as soon as possible, crossed
the bridge to the Pennsylvania side.

Accidents.
While Levi Reynolds last week was
overseeing some county work in the LIST
Ward, he met with somewhat severe
and painful accident 1t happened in this
wise. He was pointing with his right
hand to an empolye regarding some work
to be done, while another employe was
using pick. Not noticing Mr.. r. s hand,
he struck with his usual force, striking
with the sharp point of the pick into The
back of Mr.. Reynolds hand, the point
going through, severing one of the main
arteries and making dangerous wound :.
The hand was promptly dressed by sur
geon, but the accident will leave crippled
hand for Mr.. Reynolds.
Mr.. William Leary, of the list Ward,
has been laid up for about two weeks with
an injured hand. While employed in the
blacksmith shop of the p. r. II. Co., and
while in the act of assisting in handling a
large shaft, he accidentally seized the hot
end, burning the inside of the hand in a
serious manner. Mr.. Leary being COM
paratively new hand in the shop, the old
blacksmiths say that Chilly" will not
meet with such an accident again soon,
as he will surely think twick hereafter,
before grabbing the end of hot iron
once. The hand is now healing nicely.
On Friday last as Mr.. John Browning
was painting the front of DR.. VIM.
Wetherill's residence, on Bridge street, a
10 foot ladder that he was standing upon
slipped, throwing him to the pavement
below He received in the fall severe
scalp wound and other bruises. He was
picked up in somewhat insensible con.
dition and carried into the doctors office,
when medical treatment was promptly APP
piled.
On Thursday evening last, at Kilroy's
store, Cor. Bridge and Union Sts., some
one connected with the store left trap
door leading to the cellar open. Mr.. John
E. Kilroy not noticing it, fell through to
the cellar below. He was badly gashed
on the head, one arm was badly bruised
and he was otherwise injured. He is now
confined to the house by the accident
