The sIcCoy-HatfieId Feud,

CATLETTsBURG, KY, Sept. 17.-Another
raid was MADE by the McCoys on the Hatfield
settlement Friday last and as usual the West
Virginians were worsted. The following &C
count of the affair was received by Captain
Goble last night: "The Mccoy crowd made
raid yesterday and attempted to arrest one
of our innocent citizens, Richard Casey, a
person who never had anything to do with
the trouble. They were stopped before
they succeeded Their presence and action
go enrnged our neghborhood that nearly
every man on this creek Peter took his
gun and went 10 pursuit. They came upon
the West Virginia boys at Paw Paw mount
ian, where lively battle took place. In the
melee two Of The West Virginisns were kill.
ed and Two were badly wounded. None of
the Kentucky crowd was hurt. Our coun
try is In terrible state of excitement just
now. The West Virginia boys say they will
have revenge in some way The Kentuck-
ians are ready for them at auy time" Dur
ing the last month the West Virginians
have raded the Kentuckians twice and have
lost f ye men killed outright, while the old
commonwealth shows aD unbroken front. A
total humiliation of one or the other Of the
factions would seem 10 be the only thing
that can restore peace.

An Autopsy.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE reeult of the
autopsy on the body OF Prof. Proctor was
forwarded TO the health board to-day. 1t
states that decomposition was so far ad-
vanced that it was impossible to arrive at
definite conclusion as to the cause of death.
The organs presented no evidence whatever
of pernicious remittent fever or other form
of malarial disease such as even in the con-
dtion of decomposition presented by The
body would ordinarily be apparent. The
kidneys showed the appearance OF old,
though not advanced disease. The doctors
were only able to say that there was no
other evident cause of death and nothing
that could be incompatible with death from
yellow fever.

Female Prize.Fighfers.

A prize-fght between two young women
of Buffalo, N. Y, took place yesterday
morning on Navy Island, in the Niagara
river. The girls fought seven rounds with
kid gloves in the presence of fifty tough
looking men. Hattie Leslie, the winner OF
the fight, is the wife of John Leslie. She
says she is but twenty, but she appears five
years older. She lie u good-looking brunette,
stands full five feet ten, and weighs l6S
pounds. Alice Leary, who came out second
best in the fight, is a good.lookiDg girl,
bemlock knot. She has black hair, gray
eyes and pearIy teeth. The sum of money
the winner is to receive is rather specuat-
i've, but the loser had $40 purse made up
among the spectators after the close Of the
fight. The gloves were driving gloves
lined with thin coating of flannel. The
ends of the fingers and thumbs we're clipped
and the cording taken out the backs to
avoid cutting the faces of The fighters. Mrs.
Leslie appeared in pure white tights, with
sleeveless wrapper, and Miss Leary in black
tights, wine colored trunks and white
sleeveless wrapper. Mrs Lsslie's hair was
cut short behind, while Miss Leary had hers
done up high. There were no other women
present. The women shook hands and
both looked pale but determined. Mrs.
Leslie was the better Of the two, and through
the seven rounds did about as she liked
with Miss Leary. The light weight gave
her four ugly smashes in the face, blacking
both her eyes and drawing first blood. The
sports thought Miss Leary wanted TO quit,
and they did not like it. 1t was thought
Mrs. Leslie was showing too much pity,
and che was warned by the sports that If
she didn't knock Miss Leary cut to the
bost of her ability they would quit Mrs.
Leslie needed 10 further urging, and went
in with rush, striking Miss Leary full in
the face with her right and giving her three
on the sides to keep her awake. This made
her second happy, and he yelled like
fend Mrs. Leslie followed with vicious
pegs at pretty nearly every part OF her OPP
ponent's anatomy, and kept it up until time
was called. 1t was enough for Miss Leary,
aud she held out her hands for the gloves
to be pulled off. Mrs. Leslie.had two black
eyes and Miss Leary one. Both their faces
and hands were badly swollen.

Yesterdays Storm in Washington.


A severe storm visited Washington yes
terday evening, unroofng houses, tearing
up trees, smashing windows, and strewng
ils path with ruin more extensive than any
wipdstorm than has occurred there for years.
II was confined to South Washington, and
swept along narrow path hardly 200 feet
in width 1t burst with its full fury, first
along G street between Ninth and Tenth
southwest, unroofug the houses there then
swept along B street, damaging the Ma
tional Museum building, and unroofng the
greater portion OF the Fish Commission
building. From there it passed to the square
between Four and half and Sixth streets
and Maine and Maryland avenues, where it
nearly demolished the foundry of George
White and wrecked the mill of William p.
Woods, besides unroo6ng a number of
houses. In the Botanical Garden it leveled
! the shruboery and almost demolished the
large green house, SCATTERING the glass and
overturning the flowers The air was dark
with flying missiles The rain was swept
along in a sheet of water. The damage was
greatest in the square between Four and a
half and Sixth streets and Maine and Mis-
souri, avenues. The houses on the corner
escaped uniulured, but stable belonging to
man named Thompson was eveled to the
ground The next building to go was
Whites foundry The front doors were
blown in, the roof WAS torn from its fastenngs,
ard the rear wall went down with crash
Woods MILL inst behind Whites foundry, and
fronting on Maryland avenue followed. por.
ton of its roof was lifted off and hurled clear over
the roofs of the honses in Armory street, which
were also lifted, and together they fell in the
street, forming complete barricsde, blocking up
the thoroughfare aud the doorways of the un-
rooted houses
In the Botanical Gardens the magnificent row
Of polns that stood on either side of the main
walk were leveled. The limbs were twisted from
the trees, while the ruin in the greenhouse is al
most irreparable
The only damage done to the National Museum
building was to the roof, and how extensive this
is will have to be determined. The damage to
the Fish Commission building was more serious
The whole of the roof is damaged and part of 1t
taken away completely while the windows on the
north front were blown in.
When the storm first broke it blew out the
gates of the yard at the Fish Commission and a
number OF sea turtles made their way out, but
were safely corralled again.
