NEW YORK, August 2-The interna'

England, and Jack Havliu, of Boston, fol
81, 900 a side, came of this morning al
verplanck's Point, on the Hudson, and
ended in draw. The men fought forty
nine rounds, taking three hours and fifteen
minutes. A tug started from Harlem with
Murphy and his party about midnight,
and, steaming down East river, was Joined
at the battery by tug bearing Havlin and
his party. Both steamed up the Hudson
to the scene of the fight. No time was
lost on arriving at the battlefield and
ropes were quickly stretched. In the
presence of about fifty spectators, Murphy
SHE'D his castor into the ring at 5:35. He
was dressed in white tights and black
shoes, with green and white for colors.
He was followed at 5:S7 by Havlin, who
wore black tights and shoes. Havlin was
seconded by George Cungan and Jack
Frazer. Murphy's seconds were Jack

called at 5:44.
From the first the men fought hard.
Havlin landed the first blow on Murphy's
chest and before it was returned landed
another on his cheek. He got in o third
blow on Murphy's neck as time was called
in the third round, first blood was claimed
and allowed for Murphy. The fight went
on with the advantages gained by either
alternating in almost every round, and
neither obtaining any advantage sufficient
to change the betting, which continued
even throughout.
The forty-seventh was the severest in
the battle and was terribly hard-fought
one, considering the condition of the men
then. Havlin was staggering around the
ring and Murphy was too weak to take ad-
vantage of his condition. At the end OF
the forty-ninth round it was plain that
neither of the men possessed sufficient
strength to continue the fight, and the
referee stepped into the ring and declared
the fight draw. His decision was con-
csded by all to be the only one possible.

A BRUTAL FIGHT.

A Young Man and Sister Dangerously
Stabbed Near Charleston.
Special telegram 10 the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, August "A
brutal fight took place at the picnic on
Leatherwood, Poca district, last Saturday.
From what could be learned, two young
men, Ed Shafer and Josiah Smith, neigh
bors, attended the picnic referred to, and
owing to an old grudge, were not on the
best terms. Some of the crowd hurrahed
for Cleveland and others for Harrison, and
as this appeared to irritate Shafer, who
wanted an excuse, drew his knife and went
to work carving up Smith, who is Dem,
ocrat. Shafer used his knife swiftly, and
as no one would attempt to separate the
men, sister of Smith ran in, grabbed
hold of Shafer in order to prevent Him from
killing her brother.
The young lady, who is about twenty.
two years of age, was warned to get out OF
the way by friends, but she held to Shafer
until he struck her with his fist, and before
she could recover from her dazed condition
Shafer stabbed her just back of the right
ear, cutting deep and dangerous CASH,
from which death may result The young
lady is suffering greatly, notwithstanding
her condition is better than it was Tuesday
evening. The brother, Josiah, while al
most cut to pieces, having been stabbed
twenty-five times, is in fair way to
recover. The would-be murderer was
arrest and taken before . justice,
who allowed him to 60 on
his recognizsnce until the first Of this
week, when his case was continued until
Tuesday. This morning VIM. Smith,
brother of Josiah, came to this city and
swore ont a warrant on the charge of
felony against Shafer. This afternoon a
constable left TOR Leatherwood to arrest the
accused. From what we can learn the
fight was the worst that ever happened in
that section of country.

lowing letter, which is sent for publica-
tion:
PIEDMONT, w. VA, Aug. 1, 1888.
Mr. J. B. Taney, Manager Wheeling Beg
lister:
MY DEAR, SIR:-I have had many per-
sonal requests and large number of let
ters, asking me to allow my name to be
used in connection with the Gubernatorial
nomination, at the approaching State
Democratic Convention, to be held August
18th.
To all such inquiries my general reply
has been and is that my business affairs
are in such condition that they demand
all of my time and attention, and without
neglectipg them and without great per-
sonal Inconvenience and loss, I could not
CO nsent to be candidate.
The people of West Virginia have been
kind to me, and 1 owe them debt OF
gratitude. They have always nominated
and elected me whenever i have been a
candidate. would like to serve them in
any way consistently can, but cannot at
the coming election be candidate for
Governor.
/ deem it fair to my friends and party as
socistes that I should make this public
expression, so that they may be advised of
my decision in the premises.
1t is known that among other things I
am engaged with others in building north
aud south line of railroad through the
State, which is regarded, in a measure, as
q public advantage, as it will largely de-
vslop the resources OF the State and add to
its wealth and prosperity. 1t is feared by
my associates and myself that my candi-
dscy would interfere with the proper care
and prosecution of this enterprise.
hope and believe that the convention
will select and elect worthy, sound and
progressive man, identified with West Vir-
ginia and its development, who will work
for the advancement of the people and the
progress of the State.
Very respectfully,
II. G. DAVIS.

DEATH IN SIN.
A Sensational Tragedy Costing Two Lives
at Pittsburg.

Sensational Tragedy Costing Two Lives
at Pittsburg.
PTTsBURG, Ausust 2.-Shortly after
nine o'clock this morning May Patton, of
Johnstown, shot and killed Charles De
Knight, q well-known young man OF
LswreDceville. and then blew her brains
out The tragedy took place in the Metro
politan Hotel, on the corner of Grant
street and Seventh avenue, but the cause
will probably never be known. The
couple called at the hotel at o'clock this
morning and De knight registered as G.
Lewis and wife, of Johnstown, Pa. They
were given a room, and nothing more
was heard from them until o'clock,
when the guests were startled by the re.
port of two pistol shots in quick success
sion. The hotel clerk ran to the room, but
the door was locked and it was necessary
to break it down to effect an entrance. ~"
A terrible sight then met their gazs.
On the floor was De Knight dead, with q
bullet hole in his temple, and lying on
the side of the bed was the woman,
also dead, with the blood trick
ling from wound in ber
head, and the revolver still tightly clssped
in her hand. De- Knight was in street at
tire, but the woman was in dishabille. 1t
is supposed that they quarreled and that
De Knight was about to leave the room
when he was shot. Both moved in good
society. The girl was the daughter of a
furniture dealer of Johnstown, and has
always borne good reputation. She was
quite handsome and about twenty years of
age. De Knight was Pullman car con-
ductor and lived with his parents in
Lawrenceville. He was about twenty
four years of age.
On searching the room letter wss found
from the girl. 1t was addressed to Jesse
Thurlow, Huntingdon, Pa, and stated
that she was going to commit suicide.
The letter is now in the hands of the police
authorities.
