SPORTING MATTERS.
A Number of Pugilistic Contests Near
at Hand.

The middle-weight fight between
Denny Kelleher and Charlie Turner, the
colored champion of Stockton, to take
place at the Golden Gate Club in a few
days, is attracting good deal of local
attention, and it will unquestionably be
a hot one from start to finish. Kel-
leher's hackers alleged that he was in
very poor condition when he fought Nc
Carthy at the California Club, but an
opportunity will be offered them on this
occasion of judging his caliber as a
pugilist when fit and well to enter ring
against good man.
A week from today Billy Shannon and
Billy Mahan will battle for the SUI
premacy and purse of 81 200, of which
5000 goes to the loser, at the Occidental
Club, at 1877 pounds, give or take five.
Mahan made many friends during his
temporary residence in this city, and it
is probable that a good deal of local
money will be put up on him. That he
is a ''stayer" was demonstrated by his
victory over Mulholland some months
ago, and his opponent must have some
thing more than a mere reputation to
insure himself against defeat. Shan
non was defeated in the same club by
Paddy Smith, principally, it must be
admitted. on account of having been
drawn down too fine, and he is not
likely to have forgotten the lesson of
fighting below weight.
The Smith Carroll fight at the Cali
fornia Club next week should be worth
seeing, although the latter's friends pre-
dict an easy victory for their favorite.
The Australian has gained in weight,
and is said to have improved wonder
fully in every way since his draw with
Billy Mccarthy. Carroll, however, is
rusher, and the probabilities are that
the battle will be short but severe one.
The fight between Billy Myer and
Charlie Norton, that was arranged at
the Police Gazette office April 11th, to
take place at the Puritan Athletic Club
April 2Sth, is Off When the match was
made the hackers of the men were under
the impression that the Reagan-McCoy
fight was off, but on hearing that they
were to fight May 1st at the Puritan
Club, and that one fight would interfere
with the other, the hackers mutually
agreed to call the fight off. Reagan and
Mccoy are both in training, and it is
rumored that Mccoy is the favorite.
Joe Ellingsworth, whom it will be re-
membered, was defeated by Denny Kel
leher in fourteen rounds, at the now de-
funct Southern California Athletic Club,
in this city, will challenge the winner of
the Kelleher-Turner fight next week.

FATHER PETERS TRAVELS.
He Tells of the Places He Has Been
Visiting.

Rev. Father Peter Verdaguer, who is
visiting Europe, writes very interesting
letter to Mr.. J. G. McMenomy, in which
he gives a description of his travels.
He saws in his last, received a few days
since, that he had been in the Holy
Land and had visited Jerusalem, Beth
lehem, Nazareth, Mount Tabor, Mount
Carmel and many other important
places. He said mass twice at the holy
sepulcher; also at the place where Jesus
was nailed to the cross; also at Mount
Calvary, where the Virgin and st. John
contemplated the crucifxion, and sew
eral other places. The masses were all
said for his friends in Los Angeles.
From the Holy Land he went to Brin-
dist. Naples and Rome. He visited the
gambling place at Monte Carlo and
STAYED there two hours. He saw
how fortunes and lives are lost, Sui
cides, he says, are very frequent there
He is emphatic in the hope that SINH
lar place will not be established at Tia
Juana. The keeper of the houses is the
only one who makes money and he pays
a heavy license to the'King OF Monaco,
who paws the salaries of his soldiers and
all the Government expenses from this
revenue.
Speaking of the climate Rev. Father
Peter saws that the climate OF Monte
Carlo is nice, but nowhere did he find a
climate that could equal that OF ''our
dear city, Los Angeles" His visit to
his friends at Barcelona was made very
pleasant, and everywhere he went ne
talked about Los Angeles. He found
many who knew nothing about 1t and
others who had bad impression about
the climate, and to all he said good
word for Los Angeles. In addition ne
gave away large number OF illus
TRATED HERALDs to people who were
anxious to obtain information concern

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
a cold in the head, and he often expresses his
astonishment at his remarkable tendency. to
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one sold before he
takes another, and he is always exceedingly
careful; 1t IS also matter OF surprise to him
that the cold always seems to settle in the
head and throat.
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
seem to abate, and the patient is led to hope
that the disease is about to wear off; but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns to his horror, that instead of recovery

A Curious Phenomenon.

INDIANAPLIS, Aug. 12.-Ten acres of
the farm of Thos. Habon, three miles
north of Waldron, have been destroyed
for farming purposes and great holes
have been blown in the earth. The
course of Flat Rock creek has been
turned up stream, birds, snakes and
rabbits and fish are dead, while fish are
thoroughly cooked in the heated water.
All this was caused by an upheaval of
water. A log fire was blazing in the
midst of the ten acres when, without a
warning, the earth belched forth it's
flame.
Great trees were hurled skyward and
all the waters OF Flat Rock were con.
verted to foam and steam. A vast
pocket of natural gas burst forth and
the scene was beautiful. The gas took
fire and blazed iercely above the trees
at times, and continued all yesterday
and last night. To-day 5000 spectators
viewed the phenomenon.
The fire has been extinguished, but
gas IS still escaping. Some assert that
other agencies than gas is the cause OF
the phenomenon, but the general con-
viction is that no other agency could
have prodnced the effect on the water.
One of the marvellous effects en- the
water is that not drop of Flat Rocks
food has gone below the cavern since
the upheaval. Great caVernS have
taken in the current and wild, foam
ing Niagara is created.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Henry Gardner Fonnd Dying In His
Store in Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. August 12.-At
o'clock this morning Henry Gardner
young seaman, who keeps a grocery
store in the Northwestern suburbs OF
the city, was found dying in his store
by negro who passed the place at the
time. A doctor was summoned but
the man died without making a sign
His head had been crushed IN by an
axe handle which was found near the
scene Of the murder with traces CT
blood and hair clinging to it. The
murder is wrapped in mystery.
at the Coroners inquest to-day the
following testimong was developed:
A white man, named John McInnery,
was seen talking with Gardner and
left his store about 9:3O p. m. at l
O'Clock negro named Curtes Shecut
heard groans in Gardners store. With
some Of the neighbors he went in and
found Gardner lying on the floor with
a fearful wound on the back of his
head. The skull was crushed IN. A
heavy axe handle lying near by was
evidently the instrument with which
the blow had been dealt, for on one end
of it was blood and hair.
Peter Hagan, a fisherman, and wiley
Pitts, a scavenger cart driver, both col
ored, were examined by the Coroner.
Their statements were very confused
and they were committed to Jail on
suspicion that they committed the
foul deed. Shecut was committed to
jail as material witness. 1t is be-
Iieved that he knows more than he has
told.
Pitts and Hagan have both had a
difficulty with Gardner. and Pitts has
been heard to threaten that he would
get even with him. Hagan recently
was roughly handled by Gardner,
whom he cursed and abused in his own
store.
The verdict of the jury was, "Death
at the hands of persons unknown"
McInnery has not yet turned UP, al
though there are no suspicious against
him

afternoon a representative of The

committee had been superseded by the

and duties were unaffected, and that
the action of the Tillmanites was un-
constitutional, null and void. He add
ed that he had to-day personally noti-

Rock HILL, S. C. August 14.-The
County campaign and the campaign for
the election of a Congressman from this

was the answers given to the questions

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Four Men Killed and Two Seriously In
jured by an Explosion.

NEWBEERY, Aug. 14.-News reached
here at 10 o'clock this morning Of a
terrible boiler explosion, which occur
red about o'clock, at a country saw
mill ten miles west of Newberry on Or.
w. NJ. Dorroh's place. Four men, one
white and three colored, were killed,
and two colored were seriously wound
ed.
Pickens P. Matthews, white, the son
Of the owner of the saw mill, met with
an awful fate. lie was literally blown
to atoms-his limbs being found scat
tered around at some distance from
the scene of the explosion and other
portions of his body suspended in the
trees.
The colored men, Carry Davis, lump
Ellison and William Chambers, had
their heads blown off and otherwise
terribly mutilated.
Milton Rabb. colored, had his thigh
badly mashed, and Watt Davis fear
fully scalded. Both are seriously hurt.
1t seems that a colored boy named
Young, about II years old, was the only
survivor of the dreadful catastrophe.
He says that the pump had gotten out
Of fix and the engine had been stopped.
Ellison, the colored engineer, with the
other colored men were around the
furnace of the engine, and Matthews
was working with the pump when the
explosion occurred. The pump was
in front of the engine. and near the
saw, being supplied with water from a
small stream alongside OF which the
engine was placed. Matthews shoes
were found by the stream with his feet
in them having been blown from his
body.
The water must have got pretty low
in the boiler, causing the men to stop
the engine, when they were suddenly
hurled into eternity. Our informant
says the only thing hesaw left of the
engine was the band wheel. The noise
of the explosion was distinctly heard
by several persons in Newberry and by
other persons at great distances in the
country. Physicians have been sum-
moned to attend the wounded colored
men, and Coroner Buist has gone to
hold the inquest. 1t is somewhat re-
markable that the small colored boy,
Young, escaped death. He was only
slightly scalded.-Columbia Register.

A Jybiskev CONFEDERATION,

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 1.-THE
immense distillery and ware house of
the kentucky Distilling Company,
owned by Barkhouse 4 Co., was burned
to-day, along with $4,000 barrels OF
whiskey. The fire began in the ware
house and was caused by the carelese-
ness Of colored laborer who was Shift
ing barrels with lighted lamp stand
ing on the floor. The barrel rolled
against the lamp, breaking it. The
barrel was leaking and the whiskey
and oil flashed up like gun powder and
the flames filled the building. Not a
single barrel of liquor was saved. The
heat was tremendous and the fire was
uncomfortable. All the buildings be-
longing to the plant were destroyed.
The loss on whiskey IS half a million
dollars, on the buildings perhaps $780,
600 more. Well insured.
