bad Gang of Bruisers.

BosT0N, Oct. &.-This afternoon John

whom were Tommy Kelly, the ex-champion
feather-weight, and Tommy Shay. of this
city, made the rounds of the South-end sa-
looms, finally bringing mp in the barber

the influence of liquor. had attempted sew
eral times TO engage Sullivan in CONVERSE
ton upon matters he did not care to dis
cuss. and had been told to desist. After
reaching the barber-shop, Sullivan seated
himself In the chair for O shave, when
Shay again began his talk. Kelly
then interfered, whereupon Shay made
an insulting remark to the former

swinging blow. inflicted a terrible wound

Louisiana Bond Frauds.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 26.-The grand jury
to-day made a special report on the bond
steal. They state that the irregularities
commenced as far back as 1880. During
1SS0-S1. S260.O00 consolidated bonds were
exchanged according TO law for new four
per cents. known as constitutional bonds.
Notwithstanding the exchange and the
positive mandates of the law requiring
their immediate cancellation. these bonds
were retained intact until May o. 1882. and
were used by the Treasurer, K. A. Burke, to
that day for his private purposes, for we
find that a number of these bonds have
been held as collateral for a private loan by
two corporations in this city. These bonds
were finally returned to the treasury and
destroyed. The total fraudulent bonds
put into circulation by Burke amounted to
s373, 600. including $4,000 of constitutional
bonds. $4,000 of which ave been recorded
by the State authorities. The constitu-
tional bonds purported to have been issued
i'll exchange for certain consolidated bonds,
and had been numbered to correspond with
outstanding ~consols. In many cases the
fraudulent numbers were duplicated. and
in one case the same number was used three
tlmes."
The grand jury found fifteen or twenty
indictments against i. A. Burke, ex-State
Treasurer. including breach of trust, en-
bezzlement and forgery, and five against
other parties, including two against A. w.
Cockerton, formerly Major Burke's private
secretary. Investigation of irregularities
in the matter of the baby bonds is still
going on.

provoked considerable discussion. They
were to the effect that during
the first year of newly-appointed
missionaries sojourn in a foreign
country their usefulness is considerably
curtailed. inasmuch as they are not suf-
f~iciently familiar with the language to
undertake their duties. 1t was moved that
they be paid but two-thirds of the maxi
mum salary during their first year, and de-
vote a certain time daily to acquiring the
language. This discussion will probably
be resumed Monday.

Five Men to Hang for One Murder.

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Oct. 26.-The Supreme
Court to-day decided q case unprecedented
in the history of Tennessee. Last January
Henly sutton, a prominent stock buyer of
Hancock county, was fired upon by men
in ambush and killed. SUSPICION pointed
to FIVE men, John Anderson, John,
H.. Elisha and Clinton Barnard.
They were closely related to each
other, and q family fued hadbeen long rag
ing between them and the Suttons. The
Barnards were arrested and tried in the
Circuit Court of Hancock on the same in
dictment, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. Anappeal as taken to the Supreme
Court, and that body confirmed the sentence
of the lower court. They will be hanged on
Dec. %. 1t is a remarkable case in several
particulars, and the first on record where
five men were tried for murder on the
same indictment and convicted. At the
same term of the lower court, six men
were sentenced to be hanged and several
sent to the penitentiary for long
terms for homicide. The first sentence to
hang ever given in the county was given
at that term. Hancock county. which adj
joins Kentucky. has been long noted for
bloody feuds and fatal shooting ARRAYS.
but the decision to-day, it is thought. will

wanamaker's Great scheme to Combine
Business and Piety in New Haven.
New Haven special: The disbandment
Of the First Presbyterian Society,
the sale of its church and the
discharge of the pastor have brought
to light an interesting story in
volviDg Postmaster General Wanamsker.
The society has long been in the throes Of
financial distress, and the poor business
methods of its pastor, Rev. Mr.. ROdger.
caused discussion and the formation Of
cliques.
Once at prayer meeting Mr. Rodger
stated that he came to New Haven TO work
against the false theology that was taught
st Y ale. He labOIed, but 1ale theology
hOurished, and Mr.. Rodgers church was
running deeper and deeper into debt. The
pastor believed that ms failure 10 over
come Yale theology was due TO Yale iDfiu-
ence.
Atameeting a short time ago SIR. Rodger
told his n0ck that be had been In cOmmun-
icatiOn with Mt. WansmaEer, the postmRs-
| teT-general, who was one Of the largest
clothing dealers in the country ana a good
Christian gentleman, and that he had q
| scheme by which the church debt could be
wiped out Mr. ROdger said that Mr.
store in this city for the Presbyterians pro-
| vi tfr 2 the church would manage the estat-
| lishment All in al 10 was 70 be church
| affair. The pastor urged that the offer be
accepted. He said that this was probably
/ the best chance the church would have
10 free itself from the bur
densOme debt The church people
were decidedly opposed to going into
| business with Wanamaker. They con-
| tended that n Wsnsmaker and his Presby-
terian company should open a clothing
store they would incur the displeasure OF
every clothing house in town. Besides, il
was not II ali certain that money could be
made ia the venture.
The scheme consequently fell through, j,
the church will be turned iHtO q business
block, and Mr. ROdger is looking for
another flock.

A Helena Man Has Experience with a
English Speaking Indian.
A member of a party who has Just re-
turned from fishing and hunting trip to
the Flsthead country, tells a good story on
one of the gentlemen which Set
ties him. There were nine altogether and
il was necessary to cross the Flathead res
ervatiOn to reach their destination. An
Indian named Jim, whose only knowledge
of the English language was to say "yis,"
in bssso prOfundO tone of voice, was
hired 70 convey the party across the
reserve in an old stage coach. He wanted
$40 for the Job and this amount was paid.
When the stage reached the
mission, half the distance, Jim
concluded the drive was worth
more and getting down from the
box he held conference with a brother
Indian, who communicated 20 the party
that Jim said he would take them no far
ther unless he was paid 81 more. Jim had
the bulge on them and the deficiency was
promptly paid. One gentleman who rode
alongside Jim addressed bis rem Rrks to
him thus: young man, II the condition of
