THE OBJECTIONABLE FENCE.
A Petition from Citizens Of South Wash.
fngton for Its Removal.

The District Commissioners received letter
from Messrs. Parker and Dryer, thanking the
Commissioners for their prompt action in or
dering the removal of fences at Delaware and
Virginia avenues. and calling their attention to
a former letter of Messrs. Parker and Dryer,
showing by affidavit that street was OBJ
structed by fence where it crosses Virginia
avenue. They say: THE Commissioners re-
quested the railroad company to open the
street This fence is the only obstruction on
E street, between the river and Congressional
cemetery, and is a great injury TO real estate.
1t is such plain violation Of the United States
statutes that we have no doubt but that you
will order the immediate removal Of the
fence"

How Will 1t Be?

Quite large number of Mahonites met
in Petersburg at the call of Malone OIL
Tuesday night of last week, and the indica-
tions were unmistakable that large ma.
jority of them were in favor of making
Malone the Republican nominee for Gov.
ernor in the election of next fall. The
question now is, whether he will accept
and make the race, or whether he will have
the Convention to compliment him with the
nomination to give him firm grip on the
administration, which will ensure him to
be the dispenser of the spoils, and then to
decline with many thanks for the distin-
guished honor conferred on him and the
evidence of confidence and loyalty thus dis
played, and then to make some one else the
target of the shafts of the opposition?
The Spirit Of the Valley, the Patriot
Herald, and other Republican papers that
oppose, "with might and MAN," the die
atorial and tyrannical methods Of Malone,
boldly dare him to become the nominee,
and test his strength in the popular vote of
the party, and confidently predict that he
would be 'fsnowed. under" by an over
whelmipg majority, and meet deserved
and ignominious defeat. Will he take this
dare, or will he accept the challenge thus
given him? We do not believe that he
will accept the nomination. His fears of
defeat will prevail over his desire to be
the candidate, and he will let 1T dare not
wait upon WILL"

1t was reported few days since that
Blaine had resigned his Office of Secretary
of State, in consequence of ill-health. This
proves to be an error. A Washington des
patch to the Baltimore San, dated July
14th, says.
"As far as can be learned, the rumor that
was started in Washington last night that
Mr.. Blaine had resigned the State Depart
ment portfolio is without foundation. Mr..
Walker Blaine left Washington for New
port last night, and the only members Of
the Cabinet who could be found in Wash.
ington to-day were Secretary Rusk and At
torney General Miller. Mr.. Rusk had not
heard of the rumor until a representative of
the Suu called on him this afternoon. He
said: SIT is absurd aud without the slight.
| est foundation. Mr.. Blaine has never
| thought of resigning. Of course, if he
should get sick, SO as to be unable to attend
| to the duties of the Office, he would doubt.
| less resign, but Mr.. Blaine is not sick. He
was in batter health when he left here or
his vacation than he had been at any time
since the administration began. There
could be no other reason for his resignation,
| for his relations with the President have
been of the most pleasant character. No
sir, you can safely say there is no truth in
the rumor."
Attorney-General Miller, who, as the
Presidents former law partner, is believed
to be more fully in his confidence than any
other man in his Cabinet, was found al
Wizards Hotel this evening, and stated
that there was no truth in the rumors Of
Mr. Blaine's resignation. He said that Mr.
Blaine's health was good, and that thu
relations between Mr.. Harrison and biz
Secretary of State were most cordial"

The Champion Belt.

The following is description of the
champion belt for which the pugilists con-
tend:
The belt is fifty inches long and eight
inches vide, and weighs about 200 ounces
in solid silver and gold. The design of this
work of art is entirely different from any
prize-ring belt that was ever offered in this
country or in Europe, and in intrinsic val
ue has never been equaled. The work is
laid out by solid silver plates and flexible
woven silver chains, fortunately, go that
the belt, notwithstanding its great and
ponderous weight and size, can be adjusted
to the body and worn with ease. The
plates are richly ornamented with solid gold
figures, and one of these ornaments is 80
made that likeness of the winner can be
put in gold frame encircled by solid gold
laurel wreath suspended from the bill of q
full-winged eagle. The center of the belt
represents prizs-ring, with two men fac
ing each other in fighting attitude. The
whole of this part is solid gold. The men
are represented in full ring costume.
| Mr.. Al. Cridge, we'll known sporting
man of New York, is the custodian of the
1000 stakes of the fight, and the money,
with the champion belt, he has placed in
the Second National Bank of New York.
Jake Kilrain, the defender of the belt, upon
his last return from Europe, in accordance
with the articles of agreement, took the
belt to New York and placed it in the
Stockholders hands thirty days before the
date of the fight. He kept it in the Safe
Deposit compsny's vaults while in Balti

Muldoon's Opinion of the Fight.

William Muldoon, the wrestler, who
trained Sullivan for the fight, said in New
Orleans the day after the Sullivan and
Kilrain fight
MY impression is that it was the great
est fight that ever took place between heavy
weights. The fighting was fast and furious
all through, and don't think the man was
born who could have whipped Sullivan yes
terday. He did not know at the end of the
fight he had fought over half an hour. He
was as strong as when the fight commenced,
and could have fought two hours longer il
necessary. He RETAINED from fast, need
less fighting by my advice, as did not
want him to meet with aay accidents. l
consider Kilrain the greatest heavy. weight
fighter living outside of Sullivan. He is a
game, determined fellow, and think if he
had fought according to his own Judgment,
instead of taking the oowardly and tricky
advice of the men who were behind him,
he would not have been Kissed by the peo-
pie present, and the American public would
have more to admire in him to-day than at
any time since be came into prominence. I
don't think he was in condition for hard
fight in this hot climate. He was trained
too fine, and soon became very weak. al
lowed my man seven pounds to losein the
fight, and after the battle was over he was
just six and quarter pounds lighter than
when he entered the ring. He was not a
bit tired, was cheerful, and in no way in
jured. My advice to him is to live the
balance of his life slow and never again to
enter the ring as principal. He is now re-
stored to perfect health, and may yet live
long and enjoy good health if he will only
take good care of himself. If he fails to do
that he will have no one to blame for it but
himself. l have always been anxious to
prove to the public that he is natural
born fighter, and could fight long and
scientific battle if necessary, provided he
was properly handled and put into condi-
ton. Now that I have done that I am
through forever with all ring fights. 1
never again want to see man so knocked
about and punished as Kilrain was yester-
day. I think boxing grand exercise, and
will do all that can to encourage it, but
think ring fighting too brutal, and want
to see no more of it,"

DOath Of Mrs. President Tyler.
THE WIDOW OF JOHN TYLER PASSES Avn
SUDDENLY.

THE WIDOW OF JOHN TYLER PASSES AWAY
SUDDENLY.
Mrs. sx-P resident John Tyler died at the
Exchange Hotel Wednesday evening, July
10th, from congestive chill.
Mrs. Tyler had only been at the hotel
since Sunday evening, having come from a
visit to her SOD, Lyon G. Tyler. at Williams
burg, and was to have left Richmond Mon
day on visit to another son on the James
river. but feeling unwell she kept her room.
Tuesday at II o'clock she was taken with a
chill. DIR. Edward Mcclure was sent for,
and he was soon joined by DR.. Hunter Nc
CURE, bnt medical skill proved of no avail,
and she died at quarter past o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon.
Mrs. Tyler leaves four children-Ly0n @.
Tyler, president of William and Mary Col
lege, Virginia; Gardiner G.. Tyler, who
lives in Charles City county, Va; DR.. Lack
Ian Tyler, OF Washington city, and Mrs.
William Ellis, of Montgomery county. Her
children were telegraphed for.
Mrs. Tyler was the second wife of Presi-
dent Tyler, and was Miss Julia Gardiner.
She was born on Gardeners Island, near
Easthampton, N. Y, in 1920, and was the
eldest daughter of David Gardiner, de-
| scendant of the GARDENERS of Gardeners Is
land. She was educated at the Chegary
Institute, New York city, spent several
months in Europe, and in the winter oil
1874 accompanied her father to Washing
ton. A few weeks afterwards he was killed
by the explosion of a gun on the war steam
er Princeton, which occurred during a
| pleasure excursion in which he and his
daughter were of the presidential party.
| His body was taken to the White House,
and Miss Gardiner, being thrown in the
| society of the President under these dis.
tressing circumstances, became the object
of his marked attention. which resulted in
| their marriage in New York city, June 26,
| 1874. The circumstances of their courtshiI
| and marriage were very romantic. Presi.
dent Tyler left Washington on the plea Of
looking after delinquent postmaster in
New England, and few persons knew of his
marriage until it had occurred. For the
succeeding eight months Mrs. Tyler presid
ed over the White House with dignity and
grace, her residence there terminating with
birthnight ball On February %, 1916.

SIGNIFICANT ExTRACT.-The following
is an extract from letter written Decem
Der 93rd, 1884, by John Bright of England
to Samuel B. Woods, Esq, of Charlottes
ville:-
sour merchant shipping has grown witt
the growth of our commerce, and our com
MERGE has grown on the basis of free trade
adopted now nearly forty years ago. Before
your civil war, and before your barbarouf
tariff, your shipping competed with ours
and not unsuccesstully. Since your tariff
came into operation your shipping has
dwindled even to the point of something
like extinction, and ours has expanded to {
degree beyond even our expectation"
There is food for thought for our people
in the above extract, as it shows what hal
been the effect on our shipping Of what
Bright so we'll characterizes as our 'bar
barous tariff" for verify it is wonderful
that people not s'barbourous" should b.
willing to submit to it.

A Novel Wedding.

A very unique marriage was celebrated
in Squire Hauser's office yesterday after
noon, the Squire officiating. The bride
was Miss Jessie Troeger, who lives at the
corner of Main street and McAIicken
avenue. She obtained some celebrity two
years ago by leading strike of the Waitress
ses in RockwelPs restaurant. She is
twenty years old. The groom was Charles
K. Adams, better known in the dime
museum world as the Armless Wonder
He was born without those useful members
of the body, and, in lieu of better and
more profitable means of livelihood, hired
himselfout to dime museums. Adams is
now about thirty years of age, and, barring
the lack of arms, is fine specimen Of
physical beauty.
The absence of arms is little felt by the
Wonder, however, for he has become We Y
expert with his toes and mouth. He can
thread needle or write neat letter with
the former, while with the latter he paints
dainty little pictures, decorates chinaware,
&C.. holding the brush between his teeth.
When the couple entered the 'squire's
o fdceyesterday and said they wanted to be
united in wedlock that official was per-
picked for awhile.
sHow can you join handss' he asked
DlunGly, pointing TO ADAMS.
"Oh, that is easy enough" said the
pretty bride, who stood flu ly three heads
shorter than the groom. And she reached
up and grasped the stump of bis unde-
veloped left arm with her right hand.
''See," she said, as she stood smilingly
on her tip-toes.
'But the ring. How can he put the
marriage ring on your finger9'
Gu this way" said Adams, and the as
tonished official in the squirrels court were
tbnuderstruck to see the circlet of gold
between the armless mans teeth. Bend
ing bis head he deity slipped it over the
girls finger.
Satisfied that the couple understood their
business, the squire went ahead and per-
formed the ceremony.
After being made man and wife, Adams
sat down, and, slipping the shoe off his
right foot, disclosing stocking with the
front of the foot cut off, he reached into
his vest pocket with his toes and brought
out roll of bills. Selecting $5 note, be
rendered it as fee, and, putting on his
shoe, went away, his little wife sticking
close to him.

SULLIVAN AND KILRAIN.-These pugil-
lists are afraid to stay in the United States,
as they fear Gov. Lowry will have them ar
rested, extradited, and tried for violating
the laws of Mississippi in violation of the
proclamation of the Governor of that State.
Kilrain has written to his wife at Balti-
more to send him $4,000 to Toronto,
Canada, where all the members of the
party expect to meet.
They will not be safe anywhere in the
United States as Gov. Lowry seems de-
termined to have them arrested and pun
ished if possible. They nor any other
prize-ring pugillsts will ever again selec-
any place in the South for smuggling.

STANDING IN WATER TO WITNESS A
HANGING. Charles Writ, colored, was
hanged Saturday at Somerville, Fayette
county, Tenn, for the murder of Evalinc
Hester on the Gath of December last. Writ
was jealous of the woman, and meeting her
in the company of rival he shot her dead.
The scaffold was erected in creek bottom
near the towu, which, owing to heavy rains,
was nearly foot deep in water. Yet the
crowd stood in the water for hours and
pressed 80 close that military company
with fixed bayonets was employed to keep

What A Luxurious 1 resident!
BROTHER HARRISON SCRATCHES HIS
BACK ARTIFIcIALLY.


Mr.. Harrison has an article of fnrniture
of which he is very proud, and which is al
ways to be found on his table in his libra
ry. 1t is one of those contrivances with a
peculiarly shaped handle used for scratch.
ing the back in places inaccessible to the
hand. He received 1t as present from a
young lady in Indianapolis.
MIR. Harrison is very weak on the subiec.
of back scratching. This is well known in
indianapolis. He would frequently, while
talking to friend or client in his office
out there, interrupt the conversation bv get
ting out and requesting the one with whom
he was talking to scratch his back. From
this he got great deal OF enjoyment: AT
much, perhaps, as Sandy did while goine
through the operation, which alws VI
brought from him the abjuration: Goo
| bless the Duke of Argyll"
Mr.. Harrison's back-scratcher has ar
ivory handle. He uses it when no mem
Der of his family or no close friend is neal
to run his finger nails over just the spo
that yearns for sensation of Utilization.
otherwise he prefers to have the scratch
ing done by hand.

on the pay roll.-Cleoelas I'd Plaindealer.
This explains how, in spite of Blaine,
Malone got into the good graces of thu
President, and what he has been doing fol
months in shington-scratching thu
Presidents back.
The greedy Republicans itch to get office
and the President itches to have his bacl
scratched, SO it is the old game of "Yor
tickle me, and ! will tickle you."
In the language of the prize ring, the
President requires his suppliants to ''come
to the SCRATCH" or they will lose in the
contest for office.
Many hands are now itching to scratch
the Presidents back, for that is the back
ing that he prizes most, and that makes
him kind, loving, and generous to the dill
igent scratchers.
