Dixon and johnson.

New YORK, August 15.-Tom
O'Rourke, writing the P. G. from Frisco,
says: George Dixon's victory over Abe
Willis, whom sporting men and the
newspapers claimed was the greatest
111-pound pugilist in the world, gained
him host of friends on the Pacific
slope. Dixon's style Of fighting and his
geatlemsnly manners surprised the Cali
fornia people.
Willis was game and very clever, but
the first punch Dixon fairly landed
dropped the Australian champion to
the floor. Willis claimed he could see
two Dixons before him, and that he was
never hit so hard before, and he doubt

Dixon is now the 115-pound cham
pion of the world, and he is eager to
meet any pugilist In the world for
$1,000 or 81, 500 side and the cham
pionship.
Dixon's next battle will be with Fred.

He never married, for he thought thai
a man in his business was unfit TO take
proper care of a wife. He made hi:
home with his married sister in East
Twenty-eighth street, and followed GER
tain punches of horses from one part
OF the country to the other. One day
| his good lack deserted him and he final.
ly went fat broke. Some of the
| friends "staked" him and he waited
for the appearance Of horse he knew
must win. Buttons-for that was the
horses name-was at last entered.
The sport hunted around until he found
the biggest odds and he ventured his
whole pile on Buttons. The horse fell
in the stretch and the sport was penni-
less again. He was so affected by the
disappointment that he became insane.
His friends did all that could be done
for him, but he grew worse and finally
had TO be taken to an asylum. Then
his sister died and there was no one to
look after poor Billy.
Three years ago he was sent to the
poor house at Albany, and here his dis
ease developed into peculiar mania.
He became possessed Of the fiendish de-
sire for buttons. He begged them
from visitors and from other inmates
until he had gathered about 5000
specimens. Then he began to sew
them on his clothing. First he covered
his coat, then his waistcoat, and finally
his trousers were adorned with a most
curious collection of buttons. He looks
upon this addition to his clothing as
woman does upon the trimming of her
dress, and is as proud of himself as a
peacock.
Poor Billy never forgot his experience
on the race track, for he insists upon
betting with every visitor He describes
the race just as if it was being run in
his presence: "Now, they're off; there
they 60; Buttons in the lead. He's gain
ing on them every minute. Look at him
now, three lengths ahead and going like

down. Ruined! ruinedr' Then Billy
buries his face in his hands and walks
away and waits for the next visitor to
tell him all about that disastrous race.

Report of the Grand Jury.

TO the Honorable Judges of dte Circuit Court
Gentlemen--We the Grand Jurors Of Mont.
gomery county beg leave to submit the fol.
lowing report:
We have examined 142 witnesses, and
found 81 presentments.
The local option law, OF which we would
say no one law is Of more vital Importance,
we find is violated openly in q number OF
places in our county. We have made the
utmost endeaver to bring to justice such
parties.
Our committee appointed to examine the
condition Of the Almshouse beg leave to re-
port as follows We found the farm in most
excellent condition, fencing in good repair
fields clean and in fine state of cultivation !;
an excellent barn, comparatively new, stock
sleek and fat, showing evidence of care and
attention. But we are panied not to be
able to make so favorable report of the house,
the immediate surroundings, the furniture
and the unfortunate inmates. The newer
part Of the house, occupied by the keeper, is
In good repair and ample for that purpose,
but the old building, occupied by the in
mates, we consider very much out of repair,
unsafe, inconvenient and over crowded.
The furniture consists of few old stools
and benches and cot for each inmate with
insufficient and unclean beds and bedding.

most OF whom are in an untidy condition,

the best he can with the material at his dis
posal. We earnestly recommend the author
tiles to have the heating apparatus com
pleted at the earliest moment, as we con
slider the present method extremely dan
gerous.
We find the Jail in excellent condition.
The number of prisoners are fourteen-two
white males, one white female, ten colored
males and one colored female. We recon.
mend the Jail authorities to have sewer
constructed from the yard TO carry off the
surface water which collects with no outlet.
We congratulate the people OF Mont

Temperance Revival at Comus.

Mr. Editor The cider crop of this Sec
ton, which is unusually large and of excel
lent quality, is about secured. Of course,
most Of this will be reserved for pickling
as the people Of Comus are notably tenn.
perate, and have generally repudiated
hard cider as beverage, but there are
still some old timers left who have not over
come their penchant for this mode.
The "sweet cider" season is not the best
for temperance work, and yet Comus was
favored with an all.day meeting on last
Sunday in our local lodge of the |. 0. G. T.,
in which the public were entertained by
fl me addresses by F. l.. Moreling, G. G. r.,
of Baltimore; Mr.. John Mackellresh, OF
Kansas, and several local lights, among
whom may be mentioned Messrs. Mort.
Cecil, W. A. Max well, Prof A G. Harley,
and others. The meeting was also en-
livened by solos and recitations by Misses
Nina Hobbs, Alice w alker and Cora Cecil.
Notwithstanding the seductive influence
OF "apple juice" quite a large addition to
the membership OF the lodge was made, and
all declared the meeting the best treat
