JAMES CLARK CAPTURED.
Run Down in Virginia After Search OF
Three Months.

On the Oath of November last James Clark,
coiored, after receiving sentence of four
years in the Albany penitentiary. while being
marched from the cells to the Jail van sue
ceeded in slipping his handouts and escaping.
he had been convicted of larceny from the
person. Extra efforts were made by Marshal
wilson and his officers to secure him, but until
recently not the least clue could be had OF
MIN. About ten days ago information
was received by Marshal Wilson that
man answering his description was at the
house of Mr.. Duncan, in Fauquier county, Va,
some sixty miles up on the Virginia Midland
railroad Mr.. James Springman, the officer
In charge OF the prisoners, was sent to Fauquier
county, but he found that Clark had left. Yes
terday information WAS received from Mr.. E.
A. Gordon, the sheriff that q man answering
the description was at the house of Buck Jack
son. an old colored man living about four hun
dred yards from the station at Delplains. about
sixty-tve miles up the railroad. MIR. Spring
man, on this information, left on the $50
O'Clock train yesterday afternoon, reaching
his destination about $50 O'Clock. First he
tried to get to the sheriff or some constable,
but failed, and then set about organizing a
posse for his purpose. Securing the services
of four OF the country gentry and getting a
good shotgun, he determined his plan of action.
Waiting till about $50 o'clock they proceeded
to the house of Jackson. which was found to
be log house and dug out in the side of the
mountain. MIR. Springman went to the door
and called to Jackson that he wanted to see
the man Jim, who was boarding there. Clark
made his appearance and said his name
was not Jim, but Robert White. Mr..
Springman then put the handouts on him.
Clark had been at Jackson's since last Friday.
He objected at first to coming down without
the papers being served There being no
prison about Mr. SDringman and his posse
took Clark to grocery store, which the pro-
prietor placed at their disposal, and they sat
up till the train came along this morning
guarding the prisoner. Jim was taken to "A
hotel this morning and given good breakfast.
the first square meal he said he had had for
two months, and Mr.. Springman, sending
after his clothes, he agreed to come
on without the necessity of lying in the
Warrenton Jail till the papers we're procured.
Clark says that after his escape he remained in
the city nine or ten days, showing himself only
at night. and then he went to Virginia, stopping
at first one place and then another. When he
reached the marshals Office to-day about ii
O'Clock he did not further deny his identity.

NAVAL PROMOTIONS.
Changes That Will be Caused by Rear
Admiral Chandler's Death.

The death of Rear-Admiral Chandler at Hong
Kong on Sunday, which was announced in yes
terday's STAR, has caused great surprise among
naval officers. He was native of New York
and was appointed to the navy in 1s45. He
saw active service during the Mexican war and
the rebellion. His death will cause the imme-
diate promotion of Commodore Belknap, now
commanding the Mare Island navy yard, to be
rear-admiral; Captain Jno. G. Walker, chief
of the navigation bureau, to be commodore:
Commander Silas Casey to be captain;
Lieut.-Commander Jas. NJ FORSYTH to be COM
mander; Lieut.. Chas. Belknap to be lieut.. COM
mander; and Lieut.. 0unior grade) Fidelio s.
Carter TO be lieutenant
This will leave o vacancy in the command of
the Asiafic squadron for which there will quite
nkely be somew what OF a competition. 1t is I'M
derstood that Commodore Belknap would like
to go to China in this capacity. and the gen.
eral opinion Is that his chances are pretty
good.
REAR-ADMIRAL LUCEs RETIREMENT
Rear-Admiral Luce will retire on account of
age on the 25th of March, and this will cause
some additional promotions In the line of the
navy. Commodore David B. Harmony. chief
OF the bureau of yards and docks, will be
made rear-admiral. Capt. Francis NJ. Ram
say will go up to be q commodore Commander
VIM. T. Sampson, the present superintendent
OF the naval academy, will be made a captain;

The Prize Fight.

WHAT REFEREE M'MiLLAN SAYS OF HIS DECISION
YESTERDAY.
VIM. Mcmillan, who acted as referee for the
prize fight yesterday between Childs and
Northridge, stated to STAR reporter to-day
that he decided the contest strictly on its mer-
its. He warned Northridge, ne said, twice, for
gouging and biting his opponent, and the third
offense was so fragrant that he was compelled,
in all fairness, to decide it as he did. Before
giving his decision he came close to the men and
stopped down SO as to get a good view, and
found Northridge gouging Childs in the eye
Northridge knew that he was fouling his man
and kept his thumb in his eye, and made no at
tempt to avoid detection. 1t was evident to
him, Mcmillan said, that he (Northridge)
wanted the fight to stop. He said further that
he not only had no money on the fight, but did
not know either man, and was not in
fuenced by any personal reason. He added
that neither man could fight, but one Of them
could ''wrestle Bit" As to Jimmy keenan,,
of Baltimore, Mcmillan said, he was ready and
anxious to meet him, or anybody else in this
neighborhood for any part Of thousand dol
lars, and that he can be found at Connell's of
noon tomorrow.

Court at noon to-day, when his two alleged
wives were brought face to face with him
The woman who claims to be his first wife
and whose maiden name was Rachel johnson
has no desire to prosecute him. but Mary
Tyler, number two is in a different mood.
She thinks she has been fooled by George. and
has lost her love for him. She was heavily
yelled, and avoided looking at George. who
seemed to appreciate the gravity of the charge
against him. In May, 1885, so the witnesses
said, George and Miss Rachel Johnson met at
the house of Susan Humphreys. John Tolliver

together and stood beside them while the Rev.
Mr.. Pinkney said: George. do YOU take this
woman to be your lawfully welded wife?"

postponement was had, and in October of las,
year George spent a dollar for marriage
license and DIR. Purdy married him and Mary
Tyler. 1t was not long before wife No. 2 made
discoveries that caused her to suspect that all

inquiries George found himself behind the
bars. When she took the stand against him
Lawyer Kicks inquired: What is your name?'

Then you don't claim that George is your
