Governor recommends the pass

order of the Australian ballot sys-
TEN. His commentator in this,
as we'll as his Recommendation in
regard to re.apportionment, costs
in criminal ease, taxatien, for
feited and delinquent londs &C.,
should receive the careful atten-
ton Of the Legislature. Inregard
I to the late feuds in the Sandy
Valley, which were so much exag-
Grated by the newspapers, the
Governor says:
81 note particularly the cessation of
the distur Dances upon our Kentucky
border. These had been magnified by
the press of other States into acts Of
violence involving whole communities,
throwing the shadow of crime upon
law-abidihg citizens of a large portion
of the State. Shortly after assuming
the duties of the Executive office | MAS
led to believe that certain persons, to
obtain the rewards offered forthe arrest
OF alleged criminals by the States Of
Kentucky and West Virginia, We're
largely instrumental in perpetuatiug
the local feuds in which these disturb
ances had their origin, melting individ-
nals to crime, and ex;{gggeratipg the Of
lenses committed. pfemptly with
drew all rewards otferedfor Kentucky
offenders, advised the authorities of that
State Of such action, and since then no
infractions Of the law attributable TO
these local feuds have occurred y
He closes his message with the
following patriotic ntteranccs:
''In conclusion, would urge in gen
eral terms policy of legislation tend
ing to.diversify our industries and direct
production along the border lines OF EN-
terprise; to preserve from monopoly the
States inexhaustible resources; tofoslel
and advance our agricultural interests
everywhere langtishing While Others
prosper; to strengthen our institutions
and schools of learning, remembering

yolyed where wealth and intelligence,
are eost equally distributed"

CHICAGO, Oct. u.-Eight cars filled
with Sabbath breakers made a journey
on the Wisconsin Central to a convenient
spot, and there indulged in prize-fght
this morning. The contest was managed
by Lewis Housmann, and the principals
were Pat Killen of st. Paul and Bob Fer
guson of Chicago, the former weighing
1876 and the later 1913 pounds. Both were
IN the pink of condition, and the fight,
while it lasted, was for blood. Stakes were
driven on the turf, and ropes stretched
at daybreak. Marquis of Queensberry
rules governed, and the gloves used were
frail affairs.
Time was called about S o'clock, and
the men proceed to do battle. Killen,
after sparring a couple of minutes, landed
heavily on Ferguson's short ribs. The
latter returned the compliment with a
terrific punch on Killen's nose, and thus
the fight continued until the end of the
sixth round, when Killen, with several
upper-cuts and straight right-handers,
finished his man.
The feature of the fight was the contin-
uOus fouling by Killen, who seemed de-
termined to do his man by fair means or
foul" his tactics being butting, choking
and elbow work. Ferguson, seeing what
his man was up to, commenced delivering
severe body blows whenever the men
clinched, but as both men persisted in
this unfair work, the referee permitted
the fight to go on. 1t may be character
lied as smuggling match, with Killen the
most scientific and Ferguson the hardest
hitter. Killen wins the heavy weight
championship of the Northwest, 81, 900
purse, and three-fourths of the gate re-
onirtS

HE HAS A TEMPER.
A Fact of Which a Defendant Gives
Ample Proof.

Ample Proof.
According to San Francisco paper of
yesterday, decidedly sensational Incl
cent occurred in Judge Hebbard's court
on Saturday during the trial of the di-
yorce suit of Georgia B. Reed against
Horace B. Reed. The husband was on
the stand, and it was desired to prove
that he was man of violent temper. He
had been worked into one or two fits of
passion by the croSs-examination of At
torney Shurtleff, who represented Mrs
Reed. Finally Shurtleff asked:
when your youngest child died did
you accuse your wife of killing it?''
Reed gave howl, jumped out of the
witness stand, and with livid face aud
eyes starting from their sockets, rushed
toward the attorney as if bent on wiring
ing his neck. Before he got near enough
to touch Shurtleff, however, Reed stopped
and hissed between his teeth, ''Scoun-
drel!'
1.-The courtroom was all excitement Fl r
the time. Judge Hebbard said some
thing about ordering Reed to jail; the
Clerk got up and stood between the two
men, and Mrs. Reed started as if the
scene reminded her of some of their do
mestic difficulties.
81 don't believe we need any more evil
dence on the polnI OF temper" remarked
the Judge, when Reed finally took his
seat. 81 will stop the examination now
and hear arguments next Saturday"
Mrs. Reed is the daughter OF E. II.
Briggs, a wellsknown fruit-grower in the
Sacramento Valley, who died leaving an
estate worth 100000. The parties in the
suit are well known, not only in this
city, but also in San Jose, Sacramento,
Santa Rosa and Woodland, where they
have 1iunH Road EDnG in
land, and it is alleged that he deserted his
wife

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE steamer
Arago. which recently went ashore on
the south spit at Coos Bay, arrived in
port to-day. The steamer was leaking
very little. Her keel is sprung, and many
of the stanchions bent. Some other
slight damage was sustained likewise.
The steamer grounded stern first, or she
would soon have been pounded to pieces
by the heavy sea. The day before the
steamer was hauled off the beach the
crew was taken from her by life-saving
men. Only about eighty tons of coal
was thrown overheard, and over six hun
dred tons were brought down on the yes
sci. AS soon as the cargo is discharged
the steamer will be placed on the dry

WASHINGTON, Oct. I1.-Thc Secretary
of War has received the report of the
Board Of Visitors to the West Point
Military Academy. 1t is q lengthy docu-
ment, and treats the subjects discussed in
a novel and striking manner. Among
the subjects dealt with is whether or not
the strength of the corps of cadets should
be increased, the board recommending
that two additional be selected from each
State at large by the Senators of such
State, and that the President be author
lied to nominate twenty from the coun-
try at large. The board calls attention to
the inefficiency ofthe present preliminary
examinations; strongly condemns the
practice of filling professorships at the
academy entirely with army officers; de-
plores that while the cadets are fairly in
structed in all field movements, certain
details are omitted, such as the care of
horses, etc; calls attention to the lack of
arms and equipment for field exer-
cises, and particularly the need for mod
ern ordnance.

SENSATION AT NAPA.
Breezy Meeting of the State Asylum
Trustees on Saturday,

breezy meeting OF In9 state Asylum
Trustees on Saturday.
NAPA, Oct. 11.-Things were breezy in
the meeting of the Napa Asylum Trus-
tees yesterday. DIR. a. NJ. Gardner, the
superintendent, testified that David L.
Haas, a merchant here and Chairman of
the Republican County Committee, had
approached him about month ago and
asked him to pay him $500, which he
alleged he had paid to J. f. Lamdin, a
member of the Board OF Trustees, to vote
for Gardner for Superintendent, and also
that g. NJ. Francis, another Trustee,
would expect about as much more. Mr.
Haas was not present at the examina-
ton, but a written statement made by
him was read, setting forth that he did
not pay anyone anything, and that Dr.
Gardner had misunderstood him when
he thought he asked him for any money.
The paper fully exonerated the Trustees
in question, who are both men of high
character and whom no one would believe
guilty Of such practices. Several wit
nesses were examined on various parts
Of the question and the board adjourned
to meet again on Monday. when the find
ings of the board will be passed upon.
There is no doubt, however, but that the
Trustees in question and DIR. Gardner
will be held blamelesS.

q Total Wreck.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.-THE United States
night in a heavy gale on Assateague
Shoals on the east coast of Virginia, about
sixty miles northeast of Cape Charles.
The Dispatch left New York Saturday,
bound out for Washington, d. c., under
command of Lieutenant Cowles, and had
a full complement of men on board. I'm
mediately after leaving New York the
steamship ran into foul weather. There
was bad wind and heavy sea running,
and it was decided to keep the steamship
under the coast, thus to escape the bad
weather. A bad fog came with nightfall.
and so the Dispatch slowed down con-
siderably, although even at that she was
going at fair speed. The weather con-
tinued to grow worse, and the vessel
struck head on. Immediately the sea
swept her about with broadsides on the
shoals. The Dispatches commander i'm
medjately let go the anchors, but they
did not strike until after the waves had
beaten her well up onto the shoals.
