AlphOnso King Attempts to Tramp From
the BarthOldi Statue to Brooklyn
Bridge.
NEW YORK, December 17.-AlphonsO
King, of Paris, the water-walker who at
tempted to walk across the Niagara river
last Saturday, to-day attempted to walk
on the water from the BarthOldi statue to
the Brooklyn bridge. Harry Webb, the
well-knOwn sporting man, and two
friends were in a skif' accompanying him
King dressed in an ordinary suit, put on
his shoes, which are thirty-two inches
long, eight inches wide, and nine inches
high, and started without q balance pole
The water was rough and windy, and
King had great difficulty in keeping his
balance. His progress was very slow, and
every minute the occupants of the
boats supposed he would topple over
When approaching the turn around the
Battery the waves dashed against the
walker, and he suffered from the cold.
Webb was afraid the boat would upset,
and was nearly frozen. He beckoned King
to walk faster. King tried to increase his
pace, but the wind was high, and strong
current prevented him from doing so.
Finally no headway was made, and King
gave it up. Brandy was given him, his
limbs were rubbed, and the boat headed
Ion the Battery, where the party landed.
King is stopping at No. II Prince street,
and says in this weather he would not
make another attempt in New York for
S)lU His feat TODAY WAS the greatest
ever accomplished in rough water. He
was on the water one hour and five min

sippi, and covered one mile and half

Dick Cronin and Abe Humer Hammer
Each Other for $500.
Boston, December 19-The most sav.
age fight without exception that has ever
been fought in this section of the country
occurred at late hour in disused loft
on one OF the ware houses in this city, the
principals being Dick Oronin, Of Boston,
and Abe Humer, the champion light
weight of the United States Navy. The
pugilists hands were covered with the
lightest of kid gloves, and they fought
until both were so weak that they
were unable to stand when the
referee declared the contest draw. Eight
desperate rounds were fought There
were several desperate knock-downs and
blood was freely drawn on both sides.
The faces of both men were terribly cut
and disiigured and both had to be carried
from the spot.
Early in the night the police got wind
of the affair and on three occasions dur
ing the evening when preparations had
been completed for the fight appeared and
prevented it.
There was bad blood between the prin-
cipals, however, and finally the loft was
secured and from which the fighters and
spectators had to descend and ascend hand
over hand on ropes. Ten well known
sporting men contributed purse OF 5000.
and only they, besides the seconds, wit
messed the fight.

TEXARKANA, TEX, December lG.-Jas.
Howard, aged 35 years, was taken from the
Jail here at midnight last night by a
masked mob, by whom he was carried a
short distance below the town and hanged
to railroad trestle. Howard was arrested
Wednesday on a warrant sworn out by his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Winchew, charging
him with maltreating his wife, who is
scarcely fourteen years old. Howard and
his wife were married last July. Mrs.
Howard tells a story Of atrocious brutality
on the part of her husband. She says he
frequently tied her feet together while she
was in a state of nudity, and hanging her
up by the feet, beat her numerically, and
threatened to kill her if she told any one

the effects of the burns Mrs. Howard told
her mother what happened, with the result
that Howard was arrested. Deputy Sher-

would attack the Jail last night, and he
employed extra guards, but the mob gained
entrance while the guards were eating a

District Assembly 1OI of the Knights OF
Labor Going Out of Business.
ST. LOUIS, December 1.-THE Knights
of Labor District Assembly l0l is to be-
come thing of the past. 1t is rapidly dis
integrating, and in short time will cease
TO exist. The assembly included all the
local assemblies Of men employed on the
Gould Southwest system OF railroads, and,
on the authority OF its executive commit
tee, the strike of last spring was ordered.
Since the settlement of that difficulty posi-
tive orders have been given on the Missouri
Pacific and its connections prohibiting the
issuance of passes to employees who may Dc
delegated to represent local assemblies at
the meetings of the district. These dele
gates. then, were forced to pay fare OF stay
away, and calling q meeting meant e CON
siderable expense upon the organization.
Thedistrict assembly had jurisdiction in
Missouri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Ar
kansas, Texas, and Kentucky. The sum
of the necessary fares was more than the
treasury could stand, and it was decided as
the power of the assembly was gone, 1t
would be better TO disorganize it. The st.
Louis assembly, 1850, will in few weeks
be ioined TO District Assembly No. IL,
which bas jurisdiction of all trades In st.

A PREACHER FLOGGED.
Rev. j. ID. Sellers Stripped, Tied to Tree,
and Cowhided for a MisdemeanOr.


COLUMBIA, S. c., December 19.-J. D.
Sellers, formerly a Free-will Baptist
preacher, has for the past year been engag-
ed as teacher in one ofthe white public
schools of Clarendon county. A few days
ago, after he had dismissed his school, he,
upon some pretext, induced one of his
pupils, alittle girl eight years old, to meet
him in the woods short distance from the
schOol-hOuse. Then Sellers made an
indecent proposal to the child
and attempted to ass lult her,
but the timely appearance of some of the
other pupils frustrated his brutal designs,
The girl went home and informed ber
parents of what had happened, and the
news OF the attempted outrage was soon
spread throughout the neighborhoOd. The
patrons Of the school held a mass meeting
the next morning, and summoning Sellers
before them, proceeded to investigate the
matter. The teacher vehemently denied
the charge but the evidence against him
was so conclusive the indignation Of the
citizens was intense. Some of them were
outspOken in favor of hanging Sellers to
the nearest tree, whilst others pro-
posed to uusex him, but wiser counsel
prevailed, and it was finally deter
mined that he should receive severe fog
ging. The father of the child was select
ed to administer the chastisement. A
stout cowhide was procured, Sellers was
compelled to strip to the waist, and was
bound to tree with ropes. The enraged
parent then took of his coat and deliber-
ately proceeded to his work, and every
stroke of the lash brought the blood from
the fiend's bare back, and caused him to
howl with pain and plead for mercy; but
the eXecutioner was ineXorable and cOntin-
ned to apply the lash until thirty-nine
strokes had been administered, when the
crowd called time, and the culprit was re-
leased in n fainting condition aud Sellers
was then ordered to leave the State imme-
diately, and a committee of three was ap-
pointed to escort him out of the county.
He leaves broken-hearted wife and one
child in the neighbOrhood.

THE M'GLYNN CASE.

A Cablegram From Rome Indicates That
1t is Exciting Much Attention in the Holy
City.
New YORK, December ia special
cablegram from Rome to the Times this
morning indicates that the case of Dr. Nc
Glynn is exciting considerable attention in
the Holy City, where the documents of the
case are in the hands of Archbishop JacO-
boni, of Tyro, and two consultcrs. The
Henry George matter, it states, is made the
Glynn's downfall. Dr. McGlynn is well
known in Rome, having stndied theology
there. Archbishop Corrigan's promotion
was regarded by DR.. McGlynn's friends
as q reason why the latter should be
transferred to some other see, rs the for
mer was jealous of his popularity. While
the matter was under consideration
charges against DR.. McGlynn were sent to
Rome, alledging his anti-Roman sympa-
thies. To make DR.. McGlyn4 bishop
would be to foster this spirit. In Septem-
ber last this Henry George matter was
sent to Rome with series of other
charges. DR.. McGlynn has many friends
in Rome, and they think this would be a
good time for him to visit that city, and
make his q test case against the tyranni-
cal combination OF the American bishops,
which is already disliked at Rome, by APP
plying personally to the Pope. The
cablegram also gives information how q
letter can be made certain to reach the
hands of the POntiff

A DUEL TOR LOVE.
An Editor and Medical Student Fight for
aBeautiful Maiden.

Beautiful Maiden.
CHICAGO, December ia duel with
swords was fought this morning in Hum
boldt Park A little before o'clock, two
closed carriages entered the park through
the south entrance. Each carriage con-
tanned a principal, with his second and q
surgeon. They were driven to the western
end ofthe park, where they alighted and
concealed themselves behind a clump of
trees. Heterogeneous being completed,
the principles each drew shining saber,
and the contest began. Soon both were
wounded. One received sword thrust
through the breast, and his opponent was
cut across the face and will probably bear q
scar for some time. With this drawing of
blood the duelists seemed to be satisfied,
for they quickly gos into their carriages,
which were rapidly driven to the nearest
drug store. There the wounds were
dressed and the duslists again got in the
carriages, and were rapidly driven out of
sight Circumstances point to the editcr
Of 4 pharmaceutical journal and a young
medical student as the participants. 1t is
said that the cause Of the affair was dis
pute as to the hand Of young lady. A
park policeman was a distant spectator of
the fight, but was too dumbfounded to at
tempt an interference. The druggist de-
elined absolutely to refer to the subject.
