A Town Clock.

A town Of the size of Abbevill owes
it to her dignity as we'll as to the con-
venience Of her people and visitors to
haye a town Clock. We understand
that an effort will be made to this end,
and that the Council will be asked to
consider the propriety of the thing. We
have heard that the County Commits
sioners conton. plate placing a tower on
the Court House doubtless it would be
entirely agreeable to them hat the town
Cleck should be put there. BY a1I
means let us have u town Clock-and a
market House also.

The Sullivan-Herald Encounter Stopped

NEW YORK, August 2S.-At 2:3O o'clock
this afternoon odds of sixty to six were
offered at Ridgewood Park, just over the
city line from Brooklyn, that the fight be-
tween Sullivan and Herald would come of.
Ticket-selling was going on merrily and a
big crowd sweltered in the hotel to which
Sullivan, accompanied by Billy Bennett,
Jim McKohen and his younger brother,
Michael, had just driven up in a carriage,
when Mitchell, Sheriff Of Queens County,
through his representative, Under Sheriff
Goldner, sent for Ned Mallahan, Herald's
manager. Mallahan and the Under-Sheriff
had a long conference. The manager OF the
boxer evidently did his best to shake the
resolution of the officer to stop the boxing.
Under-Sheriff Goldner said his orders were
positive to allow no boxing, and he
had that morning sworn in twenty-five to
aid him if necessary. The pueilists made
haste to get over to New York. Sullivan
looked particularly glad as he got out OF
the noisy and curious crowd that pressed
closely on him as he walked to his car
riage. As both men were in fine condition
it was thought a private match might be
arranged, but the champion did not 0 n
