SINCE the admission OF Dakota as two
States has been a topic for discussion, and
new names have been suggested for the
Southern half Of it, the people OF West
Virginia have been discussing q change
Of the name Of that State. The name
Augusta has boon revived. II was the
one by which that part OF Virginia was
known in colonial days, but the majority
il ia favor OF Kanawha. So The Whaling
hidiigcaco says, ut the same time that II
answers a question Us TO the supposed
confusion that would result from the
abbrcyiaiion OF this name. II says:
Suppose tho abbroviniion were kha.,
Kpa., or merely K.2 Mo. stands for Mis-
souri,, Miss. for Mississippi, o. for Ohio.
n. Y. aud n. j., standing for two neigh
boring States, are no, so unlike Kan. and
Kha. Then wo have Col. for Colorado,
and Cal. for California, much finer
opportunity for bad mix. This seeming
difficulty Is easily smoothcd away"

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 3l.--A special
TO the american from Decatur. Ala, says
that fire which broke out in Leonards
saloon and ragged for five hours destroyed
eleven OF the new buildings on Lafayette
street. All have more or less insurance.
The flames would have taken in the entire
square had II not been for the large and
fine brick building occupied by Miller,
Warren & Co., hardware, and the favora-
bic weather, il raining steadily all through
the fire. A Mr.. Wood, who was sleeping
in the second story OF Leonard's saloon,
was fatally burned while trying TO get out.
lie ran out and was entirely safe, but re-
turned for his pants and was cut of by
the flames again, but not until his shirt
was burned entirely OF his back. Physi-
clans say he will die. Mr.. Rice was also in
the same room, aud was badly burned, but
will recover. Several other parties sus.
tanned serious injuries. Loss, about $50.

CHANCELLOR ALLISON, OF Nashville, yes
terday decided that he had no jurisdiction
in the matter OF elections and could not
compel Governor Taylor and Secretary Of
State John Allison, by an injunction, to
act against their conviction OF duty and in
the face Of the returns, give commission
10 Bates instead Of to Evans, his Repub-
lican opponent, who received majority
o! the votes, and is consequently Con-
grcssman.elect from the Third District.
MIR. Evans will, therefore, be certified to
as the legally elected Representative
from that district to the Fifty
first Congress. Chancellor Allison's de-
cision will be generally acquiesced
in. The law makes the Governor and
Secretary Of State returning board to act
according TO tho election returns certified
TO them, and they have no option but to
give certificates to the person having the
highest number Of votes. They cannot go
behind the returns. The House OF Rep
rescntativcs may do that in case OF contest.
TnE AprEAf, Of course. regrets that Mr..
Bates has been defeated, but II will teach
him and the Democrats OF tho Third District
n lesson, to be up and doing in 1890 and
work harder for success. Nothing but in.
difference on the part Of some OF our
voters can account for the loss OF the dis
trict TO the Democrats this year.

The Memphis Club rooms may have
contained more brilliant assembiages, and
presented more dazzling wealth Of rich
costumes and floral decorations, than last
evening, but II so the Oldest inhabitant
has allowed the date to slip his memory.
1t was the occasion Of the clubs regular
annual New Years ball, for which the man
ayers made unusual preparations.
The event was as thoroughly fashion,
able as the prestige and enforced require
ments OF the Memphis Club could make
ii. Gorgeously dainty and finished toilets
were the rule with the ladies in attend
ance, while the gentlemen, inspired by
anticipation, made concerted and sue
cessful effort to be in BETTING contrast.
In consequence the assemblage beauti-
fully reflected the milliner's and tailors
art, without appearing to realize that they
combined to make picture upon which
human eyes could feast for protracted
season.
The affair was in competent bands, the
Reception and Floor Committee, consisting
OF Messy. Louis Herzog, Leopold Lch-
man, Harry B. Schloss, A. s. Meyers,
Ernest Gilman, Henry Loeb. Dave Davies,
A. Adler. Supper COMMITTEES: Leo X.
Clement. Ike Mendelssohn, Louis Morris.
These skillful and energetic gentlemen
had everything in readiness long before
the guests began TO assemble, and waited
with sensations OF pleasure at the surprise
that could not fail OF manifestation. Over
the door OF the inner street entrance TO
the parlors was an evergreen arch,
pendant from the tops OF which
hung the word welcome" in large
gilt and Powered letters, arranged in
semi.circular form. Over the entrance to
the ballroom proper was another hand,
somely-arranged announcement, "Annual
Ball, surrounding star, the letters show
ing combination OF colors, SET to sirik-
ingly match the general surroundings.
Scattered proiusely about the parlors. in
tasteful arrangement and great array,
which, at every turn OF the guests, greeted
them with rich perfume, wero every va
ricty OF flower obtainable at this season OF

II was IL o'clock when Prof. Arnold's
orchestra filed the spacious parlorS with
the melodious strains OF George Wiegand's
grand march, Joyous Life" and the ra-
diant bellies, handsome bcaux, smiling
fathers and stately matrons began moving
in cheerful response. This set the ball
fairly in motion, and the following pro-

Fears that He is Injured Internal1y-He
was Sick Before the Fight.
NEW ORLEANS, La, July 9.-Sports-
men in town spent this morning talking
over the fight. Many left town on the
early trains, and by night most of them
will be gone. Kilrain is still suffering
quite severely this morning, but his
hackers say no bones are broken, and
that he will be all right soon. There are
various rumoFs in regard to his condi-
ton, and reports are flying around that
he is dying. There is no truth in these,
however, although Kilrain was rather
badly hurt internally. 1t is expected
that KiIrain and one or two of his friends
win be ready to leave town Friday morn
ing, unless the fear of arrest hastens
their departure.
Governor Lowry of Mississippi this
morning issued a proclamation and states
that he will extradite all participants in
the fight, especially Sullivan and Kilrain.
Sullivan 3 fear of arrest will probably
interfere with the arrangements for his
reception and the champion is being kept
secluded. Arrangements are making to
have the Sullivan party go back to New
York by steamer. The hackers of Big
Fellow want to keep him from drinking
and believe this will do him good. Kill
rain will go home to Baltimore. 1t is
reported that he was seriously sick before
the fight, his ailment being of private
nature. Mitchell is supposed to have
known this but Donovan did not.

Kilrain Escapes Extradition.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 9.-The
governor of Mississippi got out requsi-
ton for Kilrain IS arrest, but Jake gave
everyone the slip and left here very
quietly at 7:I5 this morning over the
Queen and Crescent line, and was over
the state line before he was missed. He
will go straight through TO Baltimore
without stopping, arriving early Thurs
day morning. Mitchell, Pony Moore and
Johnny Murphy are with the party
Frank Stevenson remains behind to settle
up business matters. The excursion
money will give each man about four
thousand dollars. Sullivan leaves for
the North at $3.50 this afternoon. A
false report was started here to-day that
Kilrain was in the hospital with three
ribs broken, and caused much excite
ment among the sporting fraternity.
What rest Kilrain was able to obtain
during the night does not seem to have
braeed him up much, and it is evident
his mental suffering is much more poig-
nant than the pain caused by his physical
injuries

WIN Try to Extradite the Pugilists.

JACKSON, MISS, July Col. w.
Merrill, who was ordered to Nicholson
on the Northeastern railroad, wired
Governor Lowry last night as follows:
The sheriff of Hancock county refused to
let the troops arrest the prize fighters
without your further command. leave
with the troops at once.
This information astounded Governor
Lowry, as he had by public proclamation
called upon all sheriffs and other peace
officers to arrest the parties should they
fight in the state. Governor Lowry says
he will at once take steps to extradite
the parties and endeavor to return them
to Mississippi to answer for violation Of
the laws.
