MARSHALL, March 2S.-This has been q
field day for the officers of the district
court here. There have been four coDvic-
tions ali upon plea of guilty. Nose
Grimes, for burglary aud theft was given
two years in each of two cases; Lem
COffman, 9 companion to Grimes, re-
ceived two years in each case. The after
noon was consumed in passing sentence
upOn'MOss Grimes, two cases, fOar years;
Lem COffman, two cases -four years; Henry
Mabrey, for resisting an officer, seven
years; Burrsll Davis, burglary, two years;
| Tom Smith, for finding Sl10 belonging TO
another and approPriating it to his own
use, two years; Ben Scott, assault TO mur-
der, four years. All of these parties are
oolored. The jury in the Watkins mur-
der case have as yet failed to agree
upon verdict. Judge Shepperd this
evening returned to his own district leav-
ing the jury in the hands of the sheriff,
where they will probably remain to the
end of the term unless Judge SheppeTd
returns to discharge them or receive their
verdict. Judge Booty, of this district, is
now presiding. The Blaylock case was
continued. The case of W. 7. Slater, for the
killing of Gray, his former partner, on
election day last fall, will be called to-
morrow, and will probably be disposed of
during tie day, as there is but little in the
case. Gray, who was very large and
powerful man, after slapping Slater down,
Slater being very small and crippled
man, attempted to draw his pistol or at
least threw his hand behind him, when
Slater fearing for his life fired on him.

Sullivan Fools the Crowd.

NEW ORLEANS, La. f., July "A large
crowd gathered at the Queen and Cres-
cent depot this morning to receive John
L. Sullivan and party, who were
expected to arrive. The hour of the
expected arrival was not known and the
crowd waited in anxious suspense until
about 10 o CLOCK when it was reported
the train would arrive at IL. A few
minutes after that hour the tram came
in, but Sullivan, Muldoon and two others
who had been in the car were not on the
train. 1t appears other arrangements
had been made and that Duffy and Leon
Lamothe to whom had been entrusted
the management of the men drove out
to Gentilly crossing, about three miles
from the depot, and there intercepted
the train. Sullivan, Muldoon, Cleary
and Lynch alighted and entered car
riages which were waiting and were
driven to headquarters. The party
did not proceed to Spanish
Fort as was anticipated as there is
a Fourth of July celebration in progress
there, and Sullivan s trainers have de-
termined to keep him quiet, hence he
will not take up his quarters at the Fort
till tomorrow.
Sullivan was dressed in a gray wooden
He appears TO be in splendid condition
physically, and sprang lightly to the
ground from the high steps of the coach.
The tickets for the fight have been re-
ceIved and were taken charge of by Bud
Reynolds. who has charge of the fnan-
cial portion of the mill.
There will be two trains out for the
scene of the fight Monday morning. and
arrangements have been make with
private police company for policemen to
go on the train.
Kilrain is expected to arrive tomorrow
and win doubtless also be struggled in.
Cleary, Lynch, Waithley and Johnston
of the Sullivan party are at the st.
Charles hotel, leaving Sullivan and Null
doom in private quarters.
Sullivan will visit the rooms of the

and exercise there for an hour or two.

few admirere to greet the pugilIst, they
went to hotel to spend the day and will
leave this evening on the Queen and

to a question he said he was IN excellent
condition and never felt better. His
muscles have the appearance of proper
training, and he says he is confident he
will win the fight. Both he and the
members of his party say there is no
foundation for the talk about there being
no intention to have a fight. They are
on the way to battle and expect no stop
