THERE WAS A PRIZE FIGHT.
AND the Account In Saturdays Star
was Correct-Further Particulars.

The denial Of the accuracy of the story
printed in The STAR of Saturday, that a prize
night had taken place between an employee Of
the Senate and q well-known dude. had its
origin, not in fact, but in the imagination of
disgruntled newspaper man who was to have
been the referee at the fight As soon as the
principals and their friends found ont that
they were in danger Of becoming notorious
they changed their plans, made new arrange
ments, and quietly slid over to Virginia with
out notifying the would-be referee of their in
tentions. That the fight did come of at 2
o'clock on Thursday morning is a fact that
cannot be disputed A STAR reporter saw one
OF the combatants this morning and he bears
the indubitable evidence eff strife on his coun-
tenance. The primary cause of the fistic en-
counter was a debt, the dude owing the
Senator" a considerable sum Of money, which
he persistentiy refused TO pay. The Senator"
threatened to thrash his debtor If he didn't
hquidate, and the debtor insisted that the
Senator" lacked both the necessary ability
and sand. The response to this was chal-
lenge for a fight to finish for the debt and
$50 side. The challenge was accepted Both
men went into training. and the fight took
place, just as related in The STAR. The dude
now nurses his broken jaw. the Senator" re-
joices in the possession of all the cash. and the
would-be referee crashes his teeth and denies
because he was left that there was any en-
counter.

THE ARMY OF HAYTI.
A Review Of the Ebony Warriors We
May Have to Fight.

Prince Letter to New York Herald
The unearthly sounds which now filed the
air boded the coming Of the army. Gen. Legi-
time stepped to the balcony and stood with I'M
covered head gazing down on the torrent of
black faces which passed in review before him.
A motley horde, the savage soldiers of Hayti.
swept along. Their appearance would awaken
in the unfamiliar beholder very much the same
order of emotions which the citizens of the
Roman empire experienced when Attila and
his wild followers poured into the FORUM
The army defied description. The brass
bands, of which there were many, discoursed
sounds which are beyond the powers of appre-
citation Of the uninitiated listener There is
usually no time and no harmony The drums
take the lead, and the performance is a violent
struggle between brass and sheepskin, with the
latter usually in the advantage.
The soldiers slouched along, marching in the
French 'at will manner. No one kept step
with his fellows or the music. The platoons
were as crooked and wavy as a sheep path and
the arms were carried in all manners of posi-
tons. The officers were usually of SURPRISING
gorgeousness. Most carried swords drawn. but
some of the most practical minded swung in
one hand the national weapon-the promoter of
discipline, the arblter in all quarrels, the casti-
gator OF youth, and the corrector of refractory
animals. 1t is jointed stick about three feet
long, of heavy, unbreakable wood, and is called
the cocomacaque. 1t was introduced. by Dessa-
lines, the successor of Toussaint L'Ouverture
at the beginning of the century. All Hayti
may be said to be ruled by the cocomdcaque.
At point perhaps 200 feet from the balcony
on which l stood by the side of General Legi-
time witnessing the review, soldier was guilty
OF some misdemeanor as he shacked along At
any rate l saw a mounted officer. who carried a
cocomacdq,te, spur his horse up to the column.
the savage stick was uplifted high in the air
and then it fell with prodigious force on the
head of the offender. Iplainly heard the crack
of the contact with the negros hard skull.
Several other violent blows followed in rapid
succession. They appeared to produce no es-
pecial effect, certainly none that was visible.

The most misery man on the continent of
America has just been discovered at Clan VIII
liam. a small settlement few miles from this
city. His name is McRae, and he is a Scotch
farmer, who has lived in the district for some
time. On Sunday last his wife contributed
$40 toward the building fund of the
new Presbyterian church. When McRae
heard of this he went almost crazy, and going
into his barn he tied one end of strong
rope to a rafter of the ceiling and the other end
around his neck and attempted to hang him
self. His wife discovered him, and with the
assistance Of O friend cut him down in time to
save his life. He was determined to put an
end to the misery he experienced over the loss
of his money, however, and later in the day
attempted to commit suicide by drowning, but
was again rescued. Finally the church author
tiles decided to return the man his money, and
