A BLOODY FIGHT.
A Blinded Contestant Has His Ely,

A Blinded Contestant Has His Eyes
Propped Open and Wins the Fight.
New YORK, Aug. IA prize fight
with shocking features occurred near
Guttenburg, just above Hoboken, N. j.
The principals were Jack Cummings of
Brooklyn and Frank Masterson of Haver-
straw. The purse was 500, and the men
fought with bare knuckles. 1t was the
fsrcast kind of q fight from start to fin
ish. Countless blows rained on the faces
and heads of both contestants until the
meu were covered with blood and their
features were battered out of shape.
Toward the thirteenth round Masterson
began to become blind. He struck out
Wildly and Cummings played On his eyes
until both were shut up tight and the
Haverstraw man was sightless. After
the thirteenth round Second Conlan
whipped out a pocketknife and with it's
sharp blade separated the lids of the
puckly Masterson, and with his eyes
thus opened the fighter returned to the
fray. During the next three rounds
Masterson braced up wonderfully, and in
the sixteenth he gave his opponent a full
arm punch in the stomach that knocked
him clean off his pins and won the battle.

These people are honest, thrifty and m
dustrious, and to say that they will prove
good citizens but half tells the story. We
do not want anarchists, communists,
thieves, murderers, and the worst pauper
classes of the old world, to come among
us. That is O class of immigration we
do not co~untenance and will not have.
But we do want the honest, frugal,
thrifty immigrant, who with his family
will come to our shores, and casting his
lot with our people become one Of IS.
We need that class of emigrants lii the
south who will come here to work
to better his condition, to develop
the multitudinous of the coun-
try, and make an honest respectable
keeping for himself and those he brings
with him. The southern states need de-
velopment sadly, and | must confess that
/ know of no better way to secure this
great need than by offering of adyanta-
geous inducements to the honest emfgrant
of the already oyeEpopulated and well
nigh over-worked old world. Ideny en-
phatiGally that the movement is n to
increase the power Of the Catholic church
in the south, other than what legiti-
mate increase may follow from
such emigration, and criticisms
to the contrary set afoat by those who
are not interested in the great work, but
through prejudice, do us a great Unjust
ice and should not be entitled to credit.
The south is the land of my nativity, and
! love its people, and l want to see it go
forward and prosper tenfeld in all that
makes q country great. To do this it
must necessarily have those elements Of
frugality, industry and thrift which
characterize in a great degree the class
Of immigration that will come to the
south. We do not wish paupers
to be unloaded upon us from
every incoming transatlantic
steamer at Castle Garden. We want i'm
migrants who will bring money with
them and who will make money after
they get here. Thisis the class of immi-
grafton contemplated by the ortginators
and managers of the Hot Springs conven-
ton. The immigration movement is
not, as many have been led to believe,
through prejudiced %utterances, a dodge
upon the part of the Catholic church to
food the country with Catholics to the
detriment and downfall of American in
situations and liberty, civil and religious.
The church upholds the law and that
should be sufficient guarantee to any in
telligent mind of the sincerity and hon
esty of our purpose

mrs. Hofrman,s sweepinr Charres,

WASHINGTON, Aug. Mrs Clara
Hoffman of Kansas City, the temper
nee advocate, is in the city. She is here
talking temperance, and addressed an
audience at the Congregational church.
She spoke very plainly concerning on
gress and the liquor question, and de-
.clared that money and party were the
gods of the American people. She
charged that congress had disrsgaEded
the petitions of 18, 600. geo people for an
Investigation of the liquor traffic. This
was due to the fact, she said, that con-
gress could be purchased for money.
The Protestant church, she added, had
the numerical power to vote the saloon
out of existence. il it would only wor-
ship God instead of money aud party.
She charged that s2any courts Of justice,
notably In Sioux City, Ia, and jackson,
Miss, We're mere ~farees; that juries were
bribed, witnesses subborned and Judges
pledged to the liquor traffic before they
were elected. The Sabbath, too, she
said, vas desecrated by being made a
European holiday by hordes Of immi-
grants fypm the eastern continent,
whose statacraft Was learned in tie So.

DEAD MEMS BONES.
The. skeletons of Five Men, Unearthed at

Dubuque.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Aug. 1.-While exca-
waiting for a new block of buildings in
East Dubuque the workmen unearthed
the skeletons of five men. The bones
were taken to. DR.. Campbell, who pro-
nounced them those of men of middle or
mature G A bullet-hole was fotnd in
n of the skulls.
Thirty-iye or forty years ago the site
was occupied by a clearinghouse and
saloon. This was during the great rush
to the California gold mines, when East
Dubuque was the terminus of the ILL.,
nois Central railroad, prior to the bridg-
ing Of the Mississippi river and its ex-
tension west. East Dubuque then had
about twenty hotels and numerous
boarding-houses in full blast, accom-
modating the vast throng that fiocked
toward the gold mines in California. In
East Dubuque, the gold hunters fitted
up their emigrant wagons. The popu-
lation of several thousand has dwindled
to 3 few hundred. The building once
occupying the site on which these skele.
tons were found is remembered by old
inhabitants as being an evil resort, and
several mysterious disappearance are
called to mind ip connection With it's
history. The skeletons we're found six
feet below the present surface, or three
feet below the bottom of the cellar. All
lay with their heads toward The east ex-

The Daughter Of a Prominent Man Rob,

PITTsBURe, Pa, Aug. IA beautiful
young oma named Mamie Phillips,
the daughter of a prominent citizen of
Allegheny, was arrested for stealing
large sums of money from her fathers
guests and investing the proceeds in
finery. Among OTTER things purchased
with the money thus obtafned were a
costly piano, gold watch, diamond jew
elry, and some fine furniture. To con
ceal her thefts she pretended she was re-
ceiying money from a rich old lady whom
she had once rendered an important
service, backing up her story with forged
letters. The information against her
was made by u gentleman named Devine,
who says she took s720 from him. After
her arrest she made a confession. She
was spared the modification of going to
jail by her friends going bail for her APP
pearance at court. Her parents are al
most distracted. The case has caused a
decided sensation in high class society in
both cities.

Law for No Mans Land.
THE RECENT KANSAS TROUBLE
SUGGESTS LEGISLATION.
THE PROPOSED MEASURES.
Mrs. Hoffman, the Temperance Advocate,
Makes a Stir in washingson-The
o'Noil-Moore Scandal Revived
by the wemsn's League.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The recent
troubles in Stevens county, Kansas, end
ing in murder in No Mans Land, have
aroused some more of the apathetic con-
gressmen to the fact that at least one
section of the country is devoid of law.
Many of the opponents Of the proposed
legislation concerning No Mans Land
now concede that congress ought to do
something to place hat territory under
the jurisdiction of courts at law. Repre-
sentative Peters of Kansas, whose dis
trict includes Stevens county and Dor
derson No Mans Land, has received from
Gov. Martin an official statement as to
the recent outrages upon law and order
and an appeal for congressional action.
1t is probable that the other members of
the Kansas delegation will receive SINH
lar communications. Many of Congress
man Peters constituents along the In
dian Territory border are also appealing
for legislation which will place No
Mans Land under authority of law.
Two bills, either Of which would effect
the necessary relief, are now before con-
gress. One is the Springer bill, creating
the territory of Oklahoma. 1t includes
Oklahoma, the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservation, the Cherokee strip, No
Mans Land and portions of several
small reservations. Under the proyis-
ions of the bill a commission is author
lied to settle with the Indians ADD finally
adjust all treaties relating to the lands
involved. A territorial form of govern
ment would then be extended over the
country, and the laws of the United
States could then be enforced by the
courts.
nv atto~ l.ll IL 4La No Mamie r orl
bill introduced in the senate by Mr..
Voorhees,. 1t PASSED the senate some
time ago. and is now before the house,
committee on public lands. 1t attaches
No Mans Land to the state for judicial
purposes, and throws the lands open to
settlers under the homestead law. No
Mans Land and the three adjoining
counties of Seward, Stevens and Morton,
in Kansas, 1t is provided shall constitute
q new land district. Mr.. Springer's bill
has been before the house upon two &C.
casions recently, and five sections of the
measure have been adopted. 1t is now
on the calendar as Unfinished business
before the committee of the whole house,
and is likely to come up again in a few
days. The advocates of each measure
have renewed their solicitations to the
members of the house to pass it as early
as possible.
The two measures are somewhat an
tagonistic, however, inasmuch that the
passage ofione means the uselessness and
consequent defeat of tie ether. No Mans
Land now seems to be the principal argu-
ment in favor of each measure, and the
recent trouble in that section of the
territory Only adds to its force. Unless
the friends of the respective measures
become involved In q bitter fight for the
supremacy, it now seems probable that
congress will give No Mans Land the
legislation it requires in the form of one
of the two bills.
