 Again the knell. of death has sounded in one of the family circles of this place John E. Wood, who has been in Florida since fall, died near Jackson vile, last Saturday night. Mir Wood was young man of ability and promise and was respected by all who knew him. About three years ago he took sudden and very severe cold. It soon became apparent that the dread disease, consumption, had fastened its hold upon him. Since that time he has passed the winters in Florida and the summers at his home in this place. He will be buried in Woodlawn cemetery, the funeral taking place in New York on Wednesday.

 On Wednesday of last week, O. L. Fitch, while going between his house and wood pile, fell upon the ice and dislocated his hip. He was soon found and carried into the house, Iwhere he has since been, under the care of Dr Skiff.

 The readers of the NEWS in this vicinity learn with unfeigned regret that the demands of an increasing busi- ness compel the resignation of the repotorial quill on the part of Mir Hall.

MARSHALL, TEX. May 81, 1885,.
To the correspondent of The GAZETTE at
Longview, Tex:
notice il the Fort Worth GAZETTE OF
yesterday from you stating that you had
been Informed would be appointed di-
vision superintendent Of the Texas and
Pacific Railway between Texarksna and
Fort Worth on the LIST Of June. l wish to
say that you have received false informa-
ton, and hope that you will never have
my name placed In newspaper again in
connection with this matter. Yours
truly, L. TRIcE.
In explanation OF the above, our in
formation was from the very best author
ity, unofficial, such as section foremeD,
freight and passenger CONDUCTORS and the
very best citizens, who reslly believed
such WAS the fact becsuse the date WAS
given along with sll the other details,
and Mr.. Trice acknowledges he had heard
the same -thlrg at several other places
along the road, and says he regrets 1t as
the other officials might think he had cir
culsted the report from this place. II is
supposed the origin Of this wide spread
rumor was caused by the roads changing
from the hands Of the receiver to its
owners, which is supposed to take place
soon.

road TO recovery. E,rly this morning he
passed Whist Hospital Surgeon Dunning

SO much BY daylight that the
physician hopes the poison is being slowly
driven out II his system. The flesh
has assumed 3 better color, and the
patient himself, in his sober moments,
feels the marked improvement.
he still lies on his back, with the Injured
arm extended at full length by his side
and the right arm secured by cords to the
head Of the cot to prevent its touching
the injured arm while he Is under the
influence Of liquor. Two nurses take
turns in watching and waiting on him,
and promptly every hour administer the
ounce and q hall of whisky and five grains
of carbonate of ammonia. Every four or
FIVE hours he is allowed to sober up lit
tie, and It is during those intervals, when
his mind is clear, that he talks TO his
physician and attendants.

NEW YORz, May 22-For the first time
since the Twentieth General Methodist
conference began every seat in the vast
auditorium Of the Metropolitan opera
house WAS filed to-day when Bishop
Mallalia opened the session. The mis-.
sionary bishop to India came up immedi
atelY after the reading Of the Journal.
DR.. Flood made an earnest appeal for
such bishopric.
DR. Lsnahan opposed 1t, and msrveled
at the sudden conversion of some of the
brethren. He believed In sudden CONVEX
sions, but held that conviction must pre-
cede 1t. He could not understand hoN il
was possible for brethren who in one
breath opposed such an appointment
should in the next turn around and advo-
cate 1t.
TIE result Of DR.. Lsnshsn's opposition
WAS that the matter was temporarily laid
on the table.
General Fisk then moved to hold 5
special session OF the conference on
Thursday evening for the purpose of con-
sldering the report Of the committee on
temperance and prohibition, which was
passed.
Bishop Bowman then prayed, especial
ly for strength to perform the order of the
day, after which the election OF bishops
began. Four sets of tellers consisting
OF esch and one at large were announced
by Bishop Andrews, who took their
places. Before the actual voting began
much time was taken up IN settling the
question as to whether ballots containing
less than the required number of names
should be counted or thrown out. After
much discussion it was decided to count
them and voting began in earnest.

.Ths Republican Convention.


CHICAGO, LII May % The sub COM
mittee Of the national Republican COM
mittee has been in session in Chicago for
two days arranging the details of the
convention and deciding upon the distri-
button Of tickets and the allotment Of
seats to the press and other matters OF
details. The seating capacity of the hall
Is 1000, thus necessltatiDg smaller sp-
portlonment OF seats tnsn heretofore.
The committee decided to give to each
delegate three general tickets for
distribution and one press
ticket to each delegate thus
enabling the delegates to take care Of the
local press in their district aud state.
Oae hundred and forty-seven working
seats at tables are provided Tor the larger
daily newspapers that will make up and
send out from here special telegraphic re-
ports to supplement the verbatim report
Of the Associated Press. No other papers
excepting those sending out such special
reports can be given representation st
these tables. 10 the l47 seats are include d
the seats required by Inc Associated Press
and The official sten0graphers. The local
press committee was directed to carry out
these provisions and WAS also not fzd
that the largest number Of working
tickets for seats given to anJ
paper should be three. The greater por-
ton Of the daily papers taking reports
will have but one seat. The alternate
delegates will have no tickets except
their own, none for distribution. 1t has
been the usual custom to give the city
where the national convention is held If
teen per cent. Of the tickets. The COM
mittee has reduced this for this conven-
ton to ten per cent. The remaining
tickets will be divided between the press,
members Of Congress, Governors Of the
states snd other distinguished guests.

Ehe Pacific Coast Heavy Weight Defeats
the UhicsKo Bruiser.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May 22-The
fight between James McAuliffe, the heavy
weight champion of the San Francisco
coast an Frank Glover OF Chicago, which
took place at the IONS of the California
Athletic Club last night, had been anx
iously waited for by local sporting men.
Owing to the fact that the con-
test WAS held under the auspices
Of the club some OF the details OF
the meeting had not been generally circu-
lated. Each Of the principals put up
$1,000, which, with $3.50 offered by the
club, made purse of $3.50. Nd spec
tat0rs were present except members Of
the club. The membership increased
rapidly within the last few days by inspi-
ration Of the fight, and the rooms tonight
were crowded. No police were present
Bets during the PAST few days have been
about even, and it was not belle red that q
very great amount Of money had been
placed on the match.
When the men appeared in the ring
later in the evening both were in excel
lent condition, but Q noticeable feature
WAS the great difference in sizs.
Glover weighed It's pounds, while
the Pacific coast man carried more
than 200 pounds. McAulife was dressed
IA white tights and Glover in blue.
Hiram Cook acted as referee. Barley
Teely and Tom Clesry were McAuline's
seconds, and Billy Delaney and Jim Gar
field similar officers for Clever.
At IL o'clock, San Francisco time, the
men entered the ring and time WAS called
The fight progressed with varying results
and no great amount Of harm was done to-
either man up to the forty third round,
the purpose evidently being to tire each
other out, and the fnal result evidently
depending on the question OF physical
durability. At the end Of the forty-fourth
round McAulifie showed considerable
weakness, but Glover had q bunch over
his left eye Is large IS mans fist.
Glover WAS knocked out in the forty
ninth round. Tine Of fight, three hours
and fifteen minutes.

did say on that occasion: 81 said that

ing that Mr.. PAddock's last resolution
Was Intended to apply to this ques-

harmony, to- withdraw it. I never
said, ss THE GAzKTIE reports
me, that only introduced the resolution
to test the sense Of the convention. That
is not true. I introduced 1t in good
faith intending to pass 1t to adoption or
rejection. After the convention refused
to table II, friends urged me to withdraw
It,, as they said the moral effect Of what
