Among the short Haired.

Tommy Miller will fight Frank McHurh
at Tcrre Haute, Ind, TO a finish, Monday
night. for purse of $500.
Patsy Fallon is in communication with
William Harding and will book the Jake
kilrain pugilistc combination for Omaha,
some time in November
St. Paul parties are eager to bring about
a meet between Danny Necdham, of that
city, and Lindsay, of Omaha, and the 20 may
be arranged. Lindsay, however, will very
sensibly insist on glove contest for a stipu-
lated number of rounds, as he is determined
not to enter into any unlawful arrangement.
He is in fine fcttle, and would prove u sur
prise party for Needham.
Billy Hennessy, formerly of this city,
fought very clever ten round Queensbury
fight with Charlie Fitzgerald at Kansas City
Friday night 1t was evident from the start
that Hennessy was the best man, being in the
best condition, and by far the best sparrer.
He was the aggrcssor all through the fight,
and the way he went for Ft2gerad's neck
was a caution. In the eighth round Hen
messy got i'll a square right handler under
Charles left ear and knocked him out. He
appeared to be dazed, but when he made an
effort to rise and saw Henncssy waiting for
him, he laid down again, and Referee Tom
Cannon awarded the fight to Hennessy. The
latter is the man that had the vicious 90 with
Jimmy Lindsay in the opera house last De-
Cember.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 3O--A terrible
tragedy was enacted this afternoon about
four miles from this city, at Gill's Station
The particulars are as follows:
A party of three white men, j. ID. Smith
VIII w. Eastman and j. f.. Jordan, all resi-
dents of Memphis. took a trip on the dummy
line, which runs near Gilrs Station. They
were stroling about and Smith seeing n
mule in the road, remarked that he thought
he would take a ride AS he approached the
animal, Jim Conlcy negro, called out to
them to let the mule alone, mt the same time
applying opprObrious eplthets. Conley
was seated in his yard, and Smith
and Eastman started toward him
Jordan demonstrated against them
going, but they entered the yard.
Conley ran into his house and shut the door.
a second afterwards shotgun was thrust
through the window and discharged. The
contents struck Eastman in the head, killing
him instantly. Smith ran over to where
Eastman was, and as he was bending over
the dead body the other barrel of the gun
was discharged. He was struck i'll the left
side with several buckshots and is mortally
wounded. COnley, after the shooting, fed.
He has been sexton of the Sons of lions

DISGUSTED WITH GROVER
Indiana Democrats FlockinS to the
Republican Standard.

CHICAGO, Sept. O.-[Spccial Telegram to
THE BEE l-Ex- Governor William Cumback
of Indiana, who has been active in every po-
litical contest since he was elected to con-
gress in 1854, was III the city today bound
for home after campaigning in central Hi.
nos. Said he to Il correspondent:
Il think that the way a mans neighbors
are acting is the best index to the general
political situation of state, and know that
in my community at home there are at least
half a dozen democrats, whom know per
sonally, who are going to vote the republican
ticket One grizzled old democrat came in
to my Office the other day and SAID he wanted
to tell me something if | wouldn't tell any
one his name. Said he: 'CumbaciS, have
made up my mind to vote the republican
ticket this year. 1 didn't much want to vote
for Cleveland in. 1854, and l am
tired of free ttadc, civil service
reform, and the way the democrats
think about whisky. | have been up and
down the state great deal this fall, and as |
have a very wide acquaintance could go no
where without meeting my friends, demo
Gratis and republicans lhavC tried earnestly
to get at the exact situation, and nearly
everyone has mentioned to me the names of
two or three persons who are personally
known to have made UP their minds to vote
the republican ticket whereas III 1884 they
voted the democrasa ticket. II seems to me
that there is regular land slide in Indiana
and if we can prevent boodesm the state Is
sure. General Harrison's personal popu-
larlty will win him IA least five hundred demo
cratic votes in indianapolis and Marion
county. We viii lose some votes upon the
prohibition question, but think they will all
be made up by those who have voted the pro-
hibition ticket previously and are disgusted."

TO their interests The manufacturers are
telling their employees that the democratic
ticket must be defeated if the Mills bill is de-
feated aud the Industrial interests preserved
Probably you saw in the dispatches the other
day that the glass blowers and other en-
ploSes at Muneie. Ind. had organized to ops
pose the election of Cleveland and Thurman.
Muncie is one cf the principal benefcilrles in
the natural gas belt, The city las doubled
during the past year, aud If there were assur-
ances that the Mills tariff bill would not be.
come law it would double again within the
next fifteen months. Real estate there has
doubled or quadrupled in price within the
past two years, and never saw such thrift
among the masses ofthe population. There
are probably twenty thousand democratic
voters in the natural gas belt in Indiana
alone. If onethrd of these men look square
~ to their own business and private interests
and set down upon the party that proposes to
ruin their daily avoCation they alone will Sc
cure Indiana to the republican ticket"

Thinking that he was referring to the
Masonic organization of which the wit
ness was a member, he said he felt at
home with his visitor at once. He said
that Berry then asked him if he had n
silver dollar, and upon replying in the
Affirmative, Harry told him that while
passing the stable he had seen big
chest of gold arising out of II manure
pile and then sink slowly into the
ground. This-2tt, witness was told,
contained about $4,000, 900, and that if
he would give 81 to buy divining rod
with loadstone at the end of it, Berry
would draw the precious metal to the
surface.
Cook paid the dollar, but Berry after
ward returned and said that atdiviningrods
had increased in value and wanted SO
more, which was given him. Berry then
went out to the stable and told Cook to
wait until he heard three raps and a
scratch on the door and he would re-
ceive four $50 gold pieces in the bottom.
Use been waitin eber sense, boss,
but l amt heard them raps yet" said
Cook. Berry declared that he had
never seen Cook until he was afterward
accosted by him, On the street. He
proved an excellent character. Judge

MONTGOMERY, February 16.-A for
gerry, apparently done in Hartford,

was certified check for S1500 drawn
on Messrs. Josiah Morris & Co., promin-
ent bankers here, by John NJ. Miner. 1t
was endorsed by Miner to Gallup &,

tied with the City Bank of Hartford for

The losers will probably be the Hartford
indorsers. The cleverness of the forgery
consists in the way it is certified,
which is done with rubber
stamp, as the word certified, very
large, followed by the signature
of the mythical teller, is in red ink The
whole is backed with a metal perforat-
ing stamp with the name of Morris &
Co., the local bankers, made in it like a
seal. Morris & Co. use no such stamp
The curious circumstances is that in the
last two weeks two other forgeries OF
checks on another banking firm, for,
merly in existence here, j. r. Adams &
Co., have come to light. They were
gotten up precisely in the same styl,
with metal stamp, but were signed by
R. r. Terrill. The officials here believe
that the forgeries are the work of tn,
same man,
