THE PRIZE FIGHTERS.

The Indictments Against Sullivan,
Kilraln and Others Connected with
tho FIght-Governor LoWrey Cooled
Down.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 14.-The Picayune's
Purvis, Mississippi, special says: The in-
dictment against Sullivan relieved of legal
verbage charges that John L. Sullivan by
and in pursuance of previous appointment
and arrangement made to meet and engage
in prize fight with Jake Kilrain and for a
large sum of money did unlawfully engage
in g prize fight in ring commonly called a
prize ring, and did then and there beat,
strike and bruise the said Jake Kilrain
against the peace and dignity of the State of
Mississippi. The indictment gives the
names of six of the grand jurymen as wit
nesses. They were at the fight. Indict-
ments were also found against Referee
Fitzpatrick. Jake Kilrain, Muldoon,
Cleary and Donovan. The in-
diotment against Fitzpatrick charges him
with aiding and abetting in the fight, but
did not specify in what way. The capais is-
sued for the parties outside the State, who
have been indicted will be returned to the
court marked ''not found" Copies of the
indictments will then be sent to Gov. Lowrey
with request to issue acquisitions for the
offenders. A gentleman who Is friend of
the governor and has conyersed with him,
says the governor has cooled down consider
ably about the prize fight and is leaving it in
the hands of the courts. The governor seems
to be more friendly inclined toward Sullivan
than before, and considers him less blamable
than some others in the affair.

THE TWO EMPERORs.
They witness n sham BAIT


BERLIN, Aug. 14.-Emperor William and
the Emperor of Austria left Berlin at TAO
this morning for Spandau, where sham bat.
tie took place. Four bsttalions of troops
crossed the Havel river, which at this point
Is 45O metres wide, on a bridge constructed
of ninety pontoons. The building of the
bridge and the passage of the troops were
accomplished in a remarkably short time.
The battle took place on the heights south of
Spandau. One division of ten battalions
used the new smokeless powder, while their
opponents used the old style Of powder. The
contrast between the effects of the two ex-
plosives was striking, the troops using the
old powder being completely enveloped in
smoke. The action ended in the western
force being thrown back on Spandau. After
the battle Emperor William called the
officers together and criticised the operations.
The two Empsrors lunched In tent that
had been specially erected on the field for
that purpose. They returned to Berlin at

New YORK, Aug. 14.-Superintendent
Michael F. Cummings of the bureau of en-
oumbrances said this morning that the work
of taking down the poles on Broadway, from
Ann street. to Battery place, would be com-
menced tomorrow morning. The work had
been somewhat delayed in consequence of
the United States Illuminating company
having no subway in which to plac, their
wires.
As this company supplies the light for the
majority of the stores in that portion of
Broadway, time was granted them to place
their wires underground. Most of the wires
on the poles from Ann street to Battery
place are dead, and, with one exception of
the Illuminating company, all is in readiness
for the work to commence.

of her best cities have been made

Other smaller towns in the Territory

these fires was from the torch of the

this, but an unanswered question is
why were these burned? As bust

and as mushrooms are forced up in o
hot house? The newspapers report

grew its prospects. People focke'

Many had nothing to stake and n
