NEW YORK, July Last night a drunken
ice-peddler named Henry Eschen, and a
young man. got into quarrel with an old
the old man in the face, and followed it up
with beating him about the face. At this
moment the old mans nineteen-year-old
son Fred. seeing the assault, sprang at his
fathers assailant and gave him blow un-
der the chin. Eschen fell striking his head.
he was taken in an unconscious condition
TO the hospital. The doctors reported that
he was not hurt. but only unconscious. No
arrests were made. But to-day he died. and
an autopsy showed that his skull was fract-
nred. Now the police are looking for the
boy who struck the blow. The trouble
arose out of the fact that the Schopps
stopped taking ice of the peddler.

OF Kilrain, few reflections on the manage
ment of the mill will be very appropriate.
Professional courtesy to the press frater-
nifty has, in many instances. been ignored,
and the result is that even the newspapers
of this city has been compelled
to pay $40 and SIS for
their regular employees to witness

purchased tickets for more than half of

Western Union in New Orleans became so
disgusted with the turn affairs have taken
that, this afternoon, Mr.. j. Z. Fem, chief
electrician, of New York, sent the follow
ing message to Capt. L. L. Tyler, superin-
tendent of transportation of the North
eastern Railroad Company:
We have determined to do nothing what
ever about furnishing special telegraphic
facilities at the fight. This is owing to the
openly expressed opposition and discour-

who persistently refuse US information or
The result is that no bulletins can or will
be sent from the ring. What report of the

must be filed at the Western Union Office in
this city.
The managers of the fight seem to have
only one object in view, and that is to
squeeze the public out of the last dollar
they can, and give nothing in return be-
yond a chance to see fight between two
men who are only doing the bidding of their
hackers. Prize-fghting, managed as the
Sullivan-Kilrain fight, cannot long be coun-

law of one State and ignored the proclama--
tions of five Governors. This clique of
law breakers is courteous and smiling to

then, like the spider. devours its prey.

Johnstou's Resignation Accepted IS Com
missioner Of Railroads-His Successor.
Special TO the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, July THE Office of Com
missioner of Railroads, ever since IL was
created, three or four years ago, has been
held by General Joseph E. Johnston, the
real hero and military leader of the Con-
federacy, and General Sherman's opponent
in his march to the sea. Commissioner
Johnston, like all other prominent officials
of the old administration, sent formal let
ter of resignation to President Harrison on
the 4th of March, for it was the custom to
do so. But he was extremely anxious to
retain the Office, even though he was
Democrat, and he got all his friends to use
their influence to prevent its acceptance.
Among others who interested themselves in
his behalf was General William I. Sher-
man, who came to Washington, dined az
the White House, and made
special request of the President to
retain General Johnston in his of
flee. General Sherman said this was all he
would ask of the administration, and he
begged very hard. The President did not
make any promises, and General j Johnston's
resignation was accepted, yesterday, to take
effect on the 18th of July, when 1T is under
stood Mr.. Taylor, of Wisconsin, will sue
ceed him.
The prevailing impression here is that
Sevelon A. Brown, who was chief clerk or
the Department of State for many years,
and was removed to make place for Mr..
j. Fennerlee, who now holds the office, will
be restored to his old place in few days.
Mr.. Brown was originally from Auburn. n.
William IL. Seward, when he became Secre-
tary of State under Lincoln. and appointed
to clerkship. He was promoted from time
to time, until he reached the highest grade
below that of the Assistant Secretary's.

condition when Muldoon left him. At
o'clock he dined, consuming his usual quota
of three chickens, with rice and chicken
brothand a half loaf of bread. At fifteen
minuvls after 3 o'clock a carriage drove up,
into which Sullivan, Muldoon. Cleary and
Dan Murphy entered, and were rapidly
driven to the Q. & Z. depot. where they en-
barked for the battle ground.
About IL o'clock tonight carriages lined
either side of st. Charles. Royal and Canal
streets, all we'll filed with excursion
lists bound for the Queen & Cres-
cent depot By 12 O'clock the de-
pot was filed with the holders of
Sl5 tickets to the prize fight. There were
ia of these tickets sold by the railroad
company and probably two hundred
more given out TO guards and
personal friends of the pugilists.
The train pulled out promptly at O'clock,
and SO quietly that only those near by were
aware of its departure: The crowd left
about the grounds and depot was by this
time so great that passers-by were com-
PEELED to elbow their WY.
The second train, consisting of eleven
coaches and containing nearly eight hun
dred excursIonists, left shortly after A. NJ.
The first train will reach the battle-ground,
at Richburn, Miss, 1O3 miles from New
Orleans, about A. NJ, and the second train
an hour later. The crowd about the depot
was quiet and orderly. &

NEW ORLEANS, July Last night, Capt.
w. III. Benham. commanding the Louisiana
Field Artillery, received orders from Gov.
Nichols to hold his command in readiness
to move at moments notice. The Louis
lana Field Artillery consists of about fifty
men, rank and file. and at o'clock this
afternoon these had assembled at their
armOry opposite Lafayette Square. The
men wore fatigue uniforms and are armed
with Springfield rifles. The appearance of
the troops IN their arm0ries caused some
doubts to arise as to whether the fight
would take place. Crowds OF men are gath
cred around in the streets discussing the
coming fight, but good order prevails.
At II O'Clock tonight the excitement in
the city over the prospect of military in
reference had increased, the two military
companies In the city, constituting the
State National Guard, having gathered to-
gether about hundred men. 1t is stated
on reliable authority that Governor Nichols
will go out with troops in person. One
company, it is understood, will take a
chartered steamer at Milneburg and cross
the lake to Hone island, where the Gov
ernor believes the fight will take place,
owing to its disputed State location, while
the other company will proceed by train.
Orders have also been posted threatening
soldiers who do not answer the call with
heavy. fines and imprisonment. this being
provided for in the State statutes.
Word has just been received from Bay st.
Louis. Miss, that a company of troops
from Mississippi had left there this morn
ing for the dividing line between Louisi-
ana and Mississippi, where they will inter
cept and arrest the principals in the fight
If they attempt to fight in the latter State.
Governor Lowry sleeps in peace tonight.
Every station on all the lines of railroad
crossing the border which divides Louisi-
ana from Mississippi is guarded by militia,
who are under instructions TO arrest the
principals should they attempt to fight in
Mississippi. A squad even guards the val
ley route at the State line.

A WOMAN'S DEED.
She Commits Suicide and Forces
Her Daughter to do The
Same.

Mosherville, Mich, Nov. 2O.-On Mon
day Mrs. Nathaniel Strang, of Pulaski
Jackson county tried to kill herself and
her daughter with aconite, as she feared
that murderers were after them. A
doctor saved the women, but Mrs. Strang
remained In state of great
nervous excitement. During the
temporary absence IF Mr.. Strang, she
filled two tumblers with a solution OF
paris green, and, handing one to her
daughter Maud, an interesting and hand
some girl of Is, and, taking the other her
self, she drank her own dose and forced
the girl, at the muzzle of a revolver, also
to swallow the draught. On her husbands
return she told him what had been done.
DIR. Mcintyre, who had attended them
when they took the aconite, was sum-
moned, but all his efforts to save them this
time swere of DO avail. Mrs. Strang died at
about midnight in horrible agony, and
Maud died an hour or two later. Maud
insisted to the last that her mother had
forced her TO drink the poison, and said
she did not want to die, and she begged
piteously of her friends and the physician
to save her life. Mrs. Strsng was a prom
inent member of the Methodist church,
while Maud was orgsnist in the same
church. The insanity which led to this
awful act has been very clearly marked for
about two weeks, but what caused it is a
mystery
