F1GHTING FOR A GIRL.
New York Pugilists PummeI Each
Other for Feminine Favor.

About forty sports assembled in well-known
sporting resort near New Brighton, s. l., yes
terday morning. to witness fight to a finish
between Mickey Young and Eddie Moran, both
OF Staten island. Both the men were DESTROYS
OF the exclusive society of the same girl and she
seemed to like both Of them SO well that she
did not know which one to choose, so the men
came to the conclusion that the best way was
to fight it out in the prize ring, the winner to
have the exclusive right to 60 with the girl A
prominent sporting man of the island agreed
to make up purse of $500. Young is twenty
five years old, stands 5 feet inches, and weighs
152 pounds. Moran stands feet 7 inches,
weighs $50 pounds and is twenty Eight years
old.
Young was seconded by Billy Dunn and Jack
Fay. Moran was looked after by Eddie o. Brien
and Jim DAILY. A prominent sporting man was
chosen referee. Johnnie Hennessy held the
watch for both men. The fight was under
Marquis of Queensberry rules Both men were
dressed in regulation ring costume and wore
skln-tlght gloves with the fingers cut off,
In the fret four rounds Young had much the
best OF 1t, but Moran rallied up well, and in the
last round, while Young was thoughtlessly
wlping the blood which was streaming from
his face with his right glove, Moran caught
him terrific right handler under the left ear
and knocked Young out, and the referee
awarded the purse and fight to Moran.

COLON ARRESTED.
IL Is Thought He Intended to Commit
Suicide.

The series Of forgeries committed by ]. Frank
Colon is still the reigning sensation in Min
neapolis. Colon was arrested late Yesterday
afternoon upon a warrant sworn out by A.. A.
Davis, attorney for Mr.. Blaisdell. The COM
plant charges that COLON forged ga. 500 five
day note. One Of the other warrants is worn
out by W. b. Anderson on a thirty-day note
issued July 6, and a third complaint was for a
$1,000 note issued June 49, He was arraigned
few moments later in the municipal court.
The judge finally refused to release COLON on
bail on account of the numerous charges, and
he passed the night in the city lookup.
II Is darkly limited that COLON really in
tended to commit suicide when he made the
desperate attempt TO jump out of the window
OF Davis Farnham's law Office Tuesday after
noon. In support of the theory of suicidal in
tent 1t Is pointed out that within the last three
mouths COLON has taken out insurance upon
his lie to an amount exceeding 500 900. This
insurance Is known to be placed in the following

BENJAMIN SPANDAUER DEAD.
The Life Of q Witness Against Mrs. Sur
raft Ends in the Penitentiary.

Benjamin. Spandauer, Q well-known crimi-
nal and confidence man, died yesterday in the
Maryland penitentiary Of bowel complaint
after an illness of several weeks. He had been
confined to his bed for several days. Spandauer
was a witness for the United States against
Mrs. Surrstt, who was hanged for alleged COM
plicity in the murder Q. President Abraham
Lincoln. He also figured as government ds-
tective in the prosecution Of John b. Surratt in
1868. The trial lasted for three or four weeks.
The Baltimore Sun says: The o6ense for
which he went to state prison was securing $40
under false pretenses from his brother-in-law,
George A. Retler. He was accused Of obtain
ing $40 from George H. Mailman under false
representation. Mailman was cousin to
Spandauer's wife, and had been promised
position with the Baltimore City passenger
railway. On June % Spandauer was sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary.
Deputy Marshal Lannan, in discussing Span
dauer's record last night, said: 81 have known
Of him since about 1870. I got to know him
better on going to the central police station in
1874 He was known as a mean, low confidence
man, and had been arrested on numerous petty
charges. He was arrested in 1888 by Detective
Droste, and got term in Jail. The term he
was serving when he died was the only one in
the penitentiary."
He was born in Bavaria, Germany, and was
about ffty-nine years old. He had black hair,
eyes and side whiskers, and was q man Of me-
dunn weight and height. His face was long,
his nose fiat, and his complexion dark.

A SCENE IN PARLIAMENT.
Mr.. Harrington Threatens MIR. Balfour
Amidst q Great Uproar.

In the English house of commons last night
during the debate on the Irish estimates, Mr..
Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, referred to
two resident magistrates refusing to subscribe
for a race meeting because Ted Harrington, a
member Of the committee, had denounced the
police as towards, liars and uniformed blood
hounds
Mr.. Harrington challenged Mr.. Balfour to
give his authority, and Mr.. Balfour replied that
he spoke on the best Of authority. Mr.. Har-
rington started across the floor, apparently
with the intention of assaulting Mr.. Balfour.
He was followed and pulled back by Mr.. Ma
honey. A tremendous uproar followed. The
chairman's calls for order were drowned in
Irish yells.
Amid moments pause Tim Healy loudly
accused Mr.. Balfour of using an insulting ges-
ture toward Mr.. Harrington, and told Mr.. Bal
four to keep quiet or else they would make
him. The tumult continued a quarter Of an
hour, the chairman warning the Parnellites to
control their feelings.
When order was restored Mr.. Balfour denied
that he had used an insulting gesture, and Mr..
Harrington apologized for his hasty action.
Mr.. Balfour was then allowed to proceed with
his speech.

A Raleigh, NC, special to the Philadelphia
Press says About three months ago the col
ored men Of this state held an emigration
meeting in this city and appointed q committee
| to correspond with the colored people through
out the state and make all the arrangements
necessary for the emigration Of all who desire
| to leave the state. This committee have been
| diligently at work and they have the names Of
heads Of families who represent $4,000 men,
women, and children who have signifed their
desire to leave the state during the approach
| ing fall after their crops have been gathered
and their settlements made with the land
owners. 1t is not expected that this number
will migrate during the balance Of the year,
but a very large number will leave.
The discomfort among the negroes Is very
great. They are dissatisfied with the present
lien law, which operates SO as to make the
land renter pay enormous prices for all the ad-
vances he gets from the commission merchants
in order to make his crop; and this same law
puts the renters entirely at the mercy Of the
landlords. The colored man is also dissatisfied
because he is not allowed to do Jury duty unless
he owns land. He is also dissatisfied with the
road law. All persons between eighteen and
| forty-fve years are required to work and keep
up the public roads and nearly all this work is
done by the colored men, and the colored men
are uuco W pay pun tdAcb III duultIOu 70
| their work. Besides, the law passed by the
| Legislature last winter amending the election
law makes it easy to prevent the registration
| Of colored voters.
About fifteen thousand colored people, all
| told, have left the state since last November
Wages for able-bodied men do not average
over 81 per month, accompanied by q house to
| live in, hrewood and one peck Of cornmeal,
| three pounds Of bacon and a quart of black
molasses for each week as rations. There are
| agents for emigration societies scattered all
| over the state, who are doing all they can to
induce the colored people to leave. Several
hundred have gone to California and write that
| they are doing we'll. The large proportion of
those who have left the state within the last year
| have gone to the states further south. Lack Of
labor in many counties because of the exodus
has caused great inconvenience and loss to the
farmers and it seems probable that this trouble
will be greatly increased during the next eight
months. No laborers, white or black, are COM
ing into the state to take the places Of the emil
| grants.

THE TOTAL ABSTINENCE UNION
Resolutions Adopted by the Conven.
tion-Election Of Officers.

The delegates to the national convention of
the Catholic total abstinence union completed
their business in Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday.
The committee on constitution recommended
no material changes and their report was &C
cepted. The report Of the committee on reso-
lutions constituted the basis Of most Of the dis
cussion Of the day. The resolutions advocate
total abstinence as the safest and surest battle
against the evils of intemperance. They say:
''We realize that the future Of this union and
Of temperance among our Catholic people de-
ponds in great measure upon the training of
children in Catholic schools, the formation of
cadet societies and societies of young women. -
The resolutions also condemn the practice
OF using liquor in so-called Catholic clubs at
picnics, excursions, and the like, held or con-
trolled by Catholics, as scandalous and con-
ducive to intemperance and other deplorable
disorders" The concluding resolution says:
The promise by which this union one year ago
pledged itself to endow the Father Mathew
chair in the university should be soon re-
deemed, and we appeal to the spiritual d.
rectors."
In the afternoon letter was read from Arch
bishop John ]. Keane of the new Catholic uni
versity at Washington commencing the union
for its purpose to endow a professorship in the
university as memorial to Father Mathew, the
apostle of temperance. The centennial of his
birth will occur in October, 1890, and the union
will celebrate the event by giving $4,000 to the
Fathew Mathew chair in the new institution,
which will itself be dedicated next November.
The committee on the memorial reported to
the convention that they had raised IS, 900.
They resolved to enlarge the committee by
choosing one member from each subordinate
union, who will see to it that every member of
his union contributes 81 to the fund. This
plan if successful, will raise the $4,000 for the
professorship.
The election of officers resulted as follows:
President, Rev. ]. NJ. Cleary, Kenosha, Wis.
first vice president, Rev. Morgan M. Sheedy,
Pittsburg; second vice president, VIM. A. Man
ming, Cleveland; treasurer, Rev. VIM. McMa-
hon, Cleveland; secretary, Philip A. Nolan,
Philadelphia.
Pittsburg was selected by vote Of AZ to 237
as the city for holding the next convention.

PRESIDENT GREEN'S REPLY.
Another Chapter In the Government
Telegraph Controversy.

President Norvin Green of the Western Union
telegraph company, in lengthy reply to Post
master General wanamakers last communica-
ton on telegraph rates to the government, says:
I'VE seem to be getting nearer together as
to the power an1 srty of the Postmaster Gen
eral to name the rate of tolls to De paid on go--
eminent messages. only claim that this power
and duty are limited by the constitution to a
just compensation for the service required,
and that just compensation must cover the
actual cost Of the service with something added
for the use of facilities necessary to perform
it, and as you say the government is willing to
paw Just rates we have come quite to an agree
ment on the principal that must govern the
fixing of rates to be paid. / still insist that
the government is our most favored Gus
toner and that the rate for govern
ment service during the past five
years, considering the character Of the
service, is lower than that given to any other
patron. The government rate has been cent
per word for thousand miles or less. You
may make up a supposed message, with ad-
dress and signature of unusual length and
twenty words in a body. sent a short distance
under our half-rate contracts with certain
transportation companies, and show that it is q
trifie less than the government rate, but the
half rate Is generally higher, and you forget
that this half rate in money is not all we get,
to it must be added the value of what those
transportation companies do for us. But when
you apply even the strongest supposed case to
a message between New York and Chicago or
Washington and St. Louis, you will find the
government rates are the lower" 1.-THE aver
age reduction in the government rate in twelve
years has probably been in the neighborhood
Of so per cent. For the year ending July, 1877,
our average rate to the public was 43 6-1O cents
per message. Last year it was 81 2-l0 cents
per message, the reduction to the public being
something less than 30 per cent. In the same
period the cost to the company of handling
has been reduced from 29 $40 cents
per message to 20 2-10 cents, being about 20

A Clan.na.Gael Organ.

New York Correspondence Baltimore Sun.
The extradition of Martin Burke to Chicago
in the Cronin murder case revives the languish-
ing interest in that unsolved mystery all over
the country. One consequence of the murder
will be the starting Of Clan-na-G Gael organ, a
weekly paper called the Freeman in Phila-
delphia. The projectors are O'Meagher Con-
don, who was discharged from the editorial
staff of the Irish World because he took the
Cronin side against Patrick Ford's advocacy of
the Sullivan spy theory; DIR. P. ]. McCahey,
who was with DR.. Cronin on the famous investi-
eating committee; NJ. j. Ryan and other well
known Clan leaders. A lumber of the New York
members will go to Philadelphia ON next Mon
day TO attend the festival which the Clan clubs
will have on that day at Rising Sun park.

Haytian War Reports.

Officers of the steamer George W. Clyde,
which arrived in New York yesterday from
Port de Caix August 2, says that the fighting at
Port au Prince still continues with little change
in affairs. At st. Marks it was reported that
Hippolyte had transported 1000 men to Sale
trou, effecting a landing without opposition,
although that region is inhabited by legitimists
The lack Of opposition is attributed to scarcity
of arms among the residents. 1t was said Hip
polyte proposed to enroll and equip them in
his service, and if successful in this he would
gain an advantage over Legitime, as the dis
lance across the peninsula to Port au Prince
is not great, and an attack with a considera-
BILE force from that quarter might result in
capture.
