The Old Prize Fighter Gave in to u New

The Old Prize Fighter Gave in to a New
Detective with u Stick Under His Arm.
Mr.. Joseph Coburn, the old-time pugil-
ist, stood at Sixth avenue and Thirty-s sec
ond street one night last week, leaning
against the lamp post in front of a liquor
saloon, swinging a malacca stick. The
pugilist had q shiny beaver hat on his
head, and jewelry sparkled on his shirt
front. He was talking to q knot of lonng-
ers. That particular corner OF Sixth
avenue has bean the cause of annoyance TO
respectable passers-by. aud Capt. Reilly
has ordered the policemen to prevent lust
such lounging at his corner as Coburn and
his companions were indulging in.
The pugilist had been there about tfteea
minutes when a big shouldtred man, with
the avenus from the other corner. The
big s%houldered man was bundled in q
shaggy overcoat, and he had a curious
looking stick under his arm aud q SLOUGH
hat pulled down over his forehead. He
looked as it he might have arrived from the
country a few days before. He had q rich
north-of- Ireland accent.
See here, my friend" he said, using the
inimitable brogue, you've been lettering
around here for q quarter Of an hour. I his
place must be kept clear. don't want to
nave TO speak about 1t again either"
The North of Ireland man put the stick
under his other arm for q change and
walked across the avenue to the other cor
ner again.
Pugilist Coburn backed up against the
saloon show window when the man said
this. He stood speechless for several mo-
ments looking after the departing stranger
with mouth wide open and his eyes bnlg-
ing out. 1t was very apparent that Mr..
Coburn was aghast at the speech the
stranger had delivered. He. found his
voice at length.
Did you ever hear anything like that"
he cried. by CAD, I'll have the fellow
arrested for talking to a gentleman in that
STYLE"
Saloonkeeper Farrell demurred.
Don't do it, Joe," he said. That's the
new detective. I wouldn't fool with him
much"
The pugilist gazed into Farrells face
hard.
WHAT" he exclaimed incredulously.
That's Tom Stewart, the new detective
of the Tenderloin," repeated Farrell.
Good evening" said Coburn promptly.
I'm going"
He moved on, and the man with the
shaggy overcoat and the North Of Ireland
accent walked down the avenue with his
walking stick under his arm.--Nem York

Pennsylvania, was selected as the chair
man of the meeting, and J. V. Cracraft, of

assembly to order, and spoke Of the de-
ceased in the terms of tenderest endear-
ment.

Politics Broke OF the Match.

A marriage license issued two or three
weeks ago to Walter J. Ward and Miss
Lucy Miller, of Oconee township, Shelby
county, ILL.,, was q few days later returned
to the county clerk, Endorsed 'tIndefnitely
postponed" The reason for the postpone-
ment is that the lady in question, being 8
radical and uncompromising republican,
objected to her intended, also q repuhli-
can, accepting a nomination for assessor
on the farmers ticket. He was elected to
the Office and possibly his success may be
o balm to his injured feelings or overcome
the lady's objections to his course.

himself by his speeches against the force billin

year, and was appointed chairman of the com.
mittee on appropriations. He gained credit by
his success in curtailing expenditures by en-
forcing a system Of proportional reduction in
the appropriations, and, on the death of Michael
c. Kerr, was elected speaker Dec. 4, 1876. He
was reelected speaker in the two following

in the house who differed with him vitality

Another ship Goes Down.

The Mariposa, from Australia, brings ad-
ditional details of the wreck of the steamer
Quetah off Thurdah island. About 9
o'clock in the evening, the passengers, who
we're holding an impromptu musicale, were
startled by the sudden stoppage of the en-
gines and the grating of the vessels keel
on a sunken rock. In less than three min
utes the Quetah had sunk out Of sight,
leaving 291 people struggling in the waves.
Some were borne under by tan
gled rigging and others, more fortu-
nate, chung to floating wreckage.
One hundred and thirteen lives were lost.
OF 1876 whites only 80 escaped, while of l65
negroes 81 survived, many whites being
imprisoned in the state rooms Capt.
Sanders states that he was on the bridge
when the vessel struck. He rushed for
ward, ordered the boats out and found the
ship already settling. He had just time to
climb the rigging and jump into the water
when the vessel sank. After half an honr
he was picked up. Others suffered greatly.

At Arkansas City.
Arkansas City is the center of the worst
food on the Mississippi river between
Memphis and Wcksburg. The town is
completely under water and about half of
the population has deserted it. The houses
all stand in water from four to six feet
deep. Merchants are doing business on
scaffolds built with false floors on the
levee. Capt. Tallinger is in charge Of the
Arkansas levee district, with his headquar-
tiers here. In an interview he said there
could be no change in the situation for
twenty days. The river would then
begin falling unless unexpected and uu-
p~recedented rains further north set in. The
water now is I've feet higher than ever
known before. This is due to the great
volume pouring out of the Arkansas river.
Capt. Tallinger thought that 5000 people
were homeless within Thirty miles of Ar
kansas City. They nave no shelter but
shanties made of wrecked houses. The COL
ored people in the town have taken posses
sion of the box cars and live inthem. The
white people are living in freight houses.
A party Of trackmen on the Iron Mountain
railroad, two miles south of the city, found
the bodies of several fugitives, who had
probably fallen from RATS or boats and
been drowned. They notified the coroner,
who tod them they had to leave the bodies
where they were, as the cemetery was unde,
water and there was no dry land in which
to bury them.
