A FATAL PRIZE FIGHT.
The Fierce Contest Between n Federal Sol
der and a Negro.

The Fierce Contest Between n Federal Sol
der and Negro.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
ATLANTA, July IA strange and fatal
prize fight occurred near Mobile, Ala,
about which little has ever been said, and
probably nothing ever published. A wiry,
athletic lightweight Federal soldier was
pitted against burly, heavyweight negro.
The soldier weighed about 125 pounds, the
negro about 240. The soldier knew the
science of boxing and wrestling, while the
negro had to depend upon Lstural strength.
The fight was for 500 side, with no rules,
but each man to go in to whip the other any
way be could. The scene of the fight was
near Federal camp three miles from Mo-
bile, the time early one Sunday morning.
Each man was stripped to the waist.
The negro was barefooted and the soldier
wore heavy wooden sandals, which were
destined TO play conspicuous part in the
battle. The two men scuffied and lodged
about the ring half an hour. Suddenly the
little soldier raised one of his heavy sandals
and gave his antagonist terrible kick on
the SHIN. The blow broke the leg and the
severe pain threw the negro off his guard.
BE bent his body forward and clapped his
hands to his shin. This was what the SOL
dier wanted, and when the negro's head was
low enough he struck him on his windpipe
with the sharp side of his hand, with suf-
fcient force to break the negro's neck.
There was groan and the negro dropped to
the ground dead.

Valuable Addition I'm the Shape of a Land.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE oIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, July THE Corcoran
Gallery of Art is about to have another in
valuable addition to its collection in the
landscape by Theodore Rousseau, purchased
for it by Knoedler, the Paris dealer, at the
sale of the Secretan Gallery. 1t is one of
Rousseau's best. 1t is about 24x36 inches in
size, and the price paid was SIS, 200.
But one other picture in the Cor
coran. Gallery cost so much, and that is the
landscape, by Corot, bought at the Morgan
sale in New York, and for which the same
price was paid. The trustees of the gallery
authorized Knoedler TO bid S100, 900 for the
great Millet. ''The Angelus," which shows
how short.sighted some people can be. A
few years ago Knoedler offered to the gallery
a Millet almost, If not quite, as good as
"The Angelus," for the comparatively small
sum of 5000. Knoedler had bought it for
$1,000. The Purchasing Board, which had
paid American artists as high as S12, 900 for
wretched trash, refused the offer Of Knoed-
Ter, and this Millet now hangs in the great
gallery of Millionaire Walters, in Balti-
more.
Uhl's portrait of President Cleveland,
which has taken its place on the walls of
the gallery at the most modern end of the
long line of Presidential portraits from
Washington down, is decidedly disappoint-
ing. 1t is fairish likeness, but the treat
ment is so broad as to be almost brutal
Breadth is all well enough, but there should
be refinement as well, and that with
out loss of strength. There is an
expression in the countenance, and
tone of the flesh, as well, which suggests
that the ex-President had been out on q
jolly spree. the night before Mr.. Uhl had
his last sitting. The trustees of the gallery
gave Uhl the order some time previous to
the expiration of Mr.. Cleveland's term of
Office, but the busy work of closing his
administration left him no time for picture
making. The artist could get but one brief
sitting before the departure for New York.
The portrait hangs on the east wall of the
east room of the gallery, beside Healy's
portrait of President Arthur.

Importers Raise n Question About the

WASHINGTON, July with an ev-
ident purpose of evading payment of proper
duty, certain importers of glass some time
ago conceived an idea of bringing in cylil-
Ter and crown glass polished on one side
and ground on the other. The law provides
specific rates of duty on 'cylinder and
crown glass, polished" the duty varying
according to size of glass, and ranging from
21< cents per square foot to 40 cents per
square foot.
The importers claimed that, being ground
one side, glass thus imported was not
he'd" as described by law, and there
sentitled to entry at 45 per cent ad
as manufactures Of glass" The
ficials decided that it was dutia-

Her sense of smell also became entirely de-

with the following symptoms: He had a heavy

his stomach became affected. His appetite
became poor. and he was constantly annoyed
with sour eructations of gas from his stomach

performing their function properly, his blood
became charged with rheumatic poison. SO that
he had much pain about his shoulders and diff
