A YEAR IN JAIL
John L. Sullivan Receives His
Sentence.
Dramatic Scene Presented in
the Court Room.
The Grand and Petit Jury Ask
for Clemency.
The Champion Himself Makes
a Little Speech,
But the Court Remains 0bdu-
rate to His Eloquence.
SuIIiyan's Sentence.

PURvIs. Miss, Aug. 1.-THE court
did not open until nearly 9 O'Clock this
morning. Judge Terrell was on hand
long before that time and Sullivan was
also before the bar showing up with
Cluny before his attorney came to court.
He looked pleasant and unconcerned al
though there was a tremble in his eye
alter the jury was seated and he glanced
over at the men who found him guilty.
The crowd in court wa small but was
a great deal larger in a few minutes; for
hardly was the court seated when the
grand Jury filed in. They presented one
indictment to be recorded and filed out
again. The Sullivan case was then taken
up. Judge Calhoon submitted a motion
in arrest Of Judgment. The papers had
been left at the hotel, however,
and the case went over temporarily.
District Attorney Neville called the
case of John Fitzpatrick. The district
attorney read an Indictment and then
asked What say you, guilty or not
gnilty?'
Guilty quickly replied Fitzpatrick.
District Attorney Neville then addressed
the court reviewing Fitzpatrlck's connec.
ton with the fight and the circumstances
under which he became referee and closed
by saying that he felt justified in recon-
mending the accused to the courts Glenn
ency. Capt. Fitzpatrick also made a
statement in his own behalf and concluded
by asking the court to be as lenient as
possible.
The court reserved its decision. The
Sullivan matter was taken up again and
Green read n mOtion IN arrest of iudp-
ment. The court overruled the motion
after reading its contents. Green then
submitted a motion for a new trial and
asked for immediate decision without ar
gument from the counsel. The motion
was based on various technical points al
leging error in Instructions to the jury
and the admission or the exclusion OF
testimony. etc. Judge Terrell then
overruled the motion for a new trial and
sentenced Sullivan to one years imprison-
ment.

A local hack driver purchased two lots
oil the day after the opening from men
who decided that there would never be a
city, and who were going away in dis
gust. For one he paid $40 and for the
other he trJded a well worn six shooter.
One of the lots he has since sold for
81, 100, and he is holding the six shooter
lot for 81, 500. The luckless boomer who
exhausted his scantily filed treasury to
get into the land of promise and went
away empty handed, contributed by his
zeal and earnestness to a boom which has
already netted many neat little fortunes.

ing quotations range as follows:

Sheep are in brisk demand but receipts
are liberal and the market for poor and
common stock rules rather weak. All
grades below good may be quoted
about l0c off and slow. Poor to choice

expect to see sheep any lower than now
unless a possible temporary break may
occur on heavy receipts and for this
reason many firms are advising shippers
in Texas and the far West TO stop con-
signments of / 900 or 1000 head at feed
Iig points near Chicago and bring in only

il several thousand head in one day is
liable to break the market on his own

Fighting Political Factions.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. l7.-Yesterdav
evening Governor Ross received a dis
patch from Richmond saying that a fight
occurred between "Jayblrds'' and Wood
peckers," rival political factions, in which
Sheriff Garvey and Deputy Blackeny were
killed and several others wounded. The
dispatch said the fighting is still in pro-
gress and troops were needed. A dispatch
received from Capt. Reichardt of the
Houston Light Guards said Richmond
was in the hands of a mob and several
had been killed. Governor Ross ordered
the light guards OF Houston to go to
Richmond at once. He also telegraphed
orders to the Bonham Greys to be ready
to leave at a moments notice. Jay
birds is the name given to white Demo-
Gratis Of Fort Bend, numbering about 400.
The 'Woodpeckers'' includes negroes and
a few whites, the negroes being vastly in
the ascendant. 1t is a renewal Of the
race question.

Weekly Stock Market.


CHICAGO, Aug. l7.-Good, finished
shipping and export cattle continue to
meet with an active demand and prices
for these grades are tending upward right
along. Prime beeves are scarce and the
inquiry for them exceeds the supply to
such an extent that buyers who are not
on hand early are obliged to fall back on
poorer stock. Late cables quote an adj
vance of l cent per pound in best Ameri-
can beef abroad and many exporters who
have recently been unable to fill their or
ders here have been buying literally
throughout the states of Ohio and Ken
lucky. This shows that the market is in
a good healthy condition with a fair pros
pect OF a further advance on fat corn-fed
stock.
This slow but steady hardening of
prices for the best natives is helping to
strengthen the market for medium and
common steers although there Is as yet
no p%erceptible change. On one day this
week Doud alone took over 100 car loads
OF cattle for export and sales of beeves
averaging over 400 pounds were about
1000 head, quite a number of sales
being reported at 81. 60(g4. 10. The pro-
portion of choice beepes is greater than in
almost any former year at a correspond
ing period aud the gain in price for such
during the past four weeks Is fully soc.
Anything desirable IN the Western range
line is also firm but the quality is not
very good and poor stuff is under neglect.
However it is hard to see how prices can
be worse and many dealers here believe
that present cheap quotations will delay
the bulk of Western shipments until
later in the season.
Common rangers, too, are likely to go
higher as the advanced prices of the best
grades will cause many shippers and
dressed beef men to take poorer stock.
At the same time considering the present
price of coyn it does not pay to send in
half fatted steers. Good Texans sell
strong while the off grades as well as
common grassy natives that have to COM
pete with Texans are down a notch or
two. Through Texans 90 at $l.65(G .. 40
for cows and bulls and at 81. SOFA .35 for
steers of $40 to 1000 pounds weight.
Increased receipts are looked for the com
ing week. Dakota, Wyoming and Mon
tana Texans averaging 1000 to 1880
pounds fetch 50. 9O(G3.S5. On Tuesday
seven carloads of grass rangers averaging
l.3l1 pounds were taken by a Boston ex-
porter at 1886.
Some Dakota natives averaging !, $40
pounds brought $I.1C which is the high
est price of the season for rangers, the
bulk going at $3.4OGGS.75. Shippers and
Exporters buy l,l5U to l,525 pound ma
tives at SO 30(G4 10, bulk at $4.0o(64. rs.
Dressed beef men make most OF their
purchases at S3.6594.35 although now
aud then an order is made down near the
three dollar mark. Native butchers
stock quiet and nearly steady. Cows sell
at 81. 00@2 80, bulls 81. 6062 rs. This
branch OF the market is governed almost
entirely by receipts Of Texans. Stockers
and feeders are selling quite freely, but at
a decline of about loo from last weeks
finish.
