A SHOWER OF STUMPS.
Dangerous Blasting Going on in Walla
WaIia Addition.

People living in Walla Walla addition were
startled yesterday morning about 1879 O'Clock
by a terrific explosion which shook the earth
for some distance, and filed the air with stones,
stumps and dirt.
The occasion for this unexpected disturbance
was the blasting on the extension of the James
street line. Although there was no one injured
seriously, the escape of some was remarkable.
The explosion took place two blocks east of
McClair street, but the flying debris came TO
earth several blocks away.
one piece of rock weighing over twenty five
pounds was thrown nearly half a mile and
came down, crashing through the sidewalk in
front of MI .. F. Wetherells house stump
about eight feet long was sent flying through
the air for a distance OF several blocks, and
when il landed tore up portion OF sidewalk,
Knocked down a fence panel ard crashed VI
against the resr OF dwelling house, knocking
out the windows and giving the OCCUPANTS q
serious fright Another stump somewhat smaller
encountered an empty shack, in its course, and
completely demolished it

GAY LIEUTENANT DODGE.
Sporty Life of the Recent Deserter From
the Fourteenth Infantry.

PORT TOWNSEND, Sept 22.-[speeial. Lieu
tenant James T. Dodge, OF the Fourteenth in
fantry, reported to have duplicated his pay ac-
count and deserted from Fort Leavenworth, was
stationed at Port Townsend for the past seven
months. He left here last month for Fort
Leayenworth. While here Lieutenant Dodge led
a gay life, and is said to
have associated with several fast
women. He also drank, gambled
and caroused pretty freely, and once while
drunk tried to ride horse into the Central
hotel. Before leaving here he had his August
pay account cashed at the Commercial bank,
and it is reported he duplicated the account and
had it cashed by the paymaster at Fort Leayen-
worth. Dodge was married two weeks ago in the
East. He has only been an officer Tor niue or
ten months, having been promoted from the

CAL MCCARTHY WINS.
Tommy Warren Knocked Out
in Twenty-First Round.
THE WINNER NOT SCRATCHED.
Splendid Featherweight Contest in New
orieans-Mitchell and Gallagher
Will Fight Tonight.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22--The fight tonight at
the Olympic Club between Tommy Warren and
Cal Mccarthy was a grand success. II was ap-
pretended that on account of the grand Jury
Indictment against the principals the match
would not come of, but the state law allows
contests with fye-ounce gloves in regu-
larry chartered organizations. Hence
when Acting Mayor Clark received the
opinion OF City Attorney Hunt that the city Of
hcials could not refuse permission to the club
there was general rejoicing by the sporting
fraternity. Mccarthy and Warren were in
structed BY the referee that decision would be
made when il became apparent that one or the
others chances to win had passed. The
men weighed in under the 1lS-pound
limit. The purse was $50, of which
sl,2OO goes to the winner and $500 TO the loser
John Duffy was referee. Haley and Robinson
seconded Warren, and O'Mara and Brown
seconded Mccarthy. Il was one of the prettiest
and gamiest featherweight battles ever seen in
the South, Mccarthy winning in the twenty
first round
In the first round both men displayed great
cleverness from the start. Mccarthy had the
longer reach and showed up stronger, ana both
these qualities told all through the fight. War
rem displayed his usual skill in ducking, but
Mccarthy found a way to stop the
lodging by terrific upper cutting
with his left Notwithstanding this Warren
H.
curing clinches he ran counter to McCarthy's
right, which opened gap over his eye. Thus
the fight stood up to the tenth round
ana from that time out Mccarthy was
general enough TO keep playing upon the
wounded parts. This was easy, as Warren did
most of the rushing. and McCarthys longer
reach enabled him 10 counter on vulnerable
parts. Between the tenth and twentieth rounds
Warren rallied great deal. He stopped num-
Der of vicious uppereuts with his elbow,
found his way to McCarthy's heart and stomach
with his left, and swung his right on his neck.
Loss OF blood, however, made him weak, and
his blows scarcely moved Mccarthy, who Kept
Warren's wounds open, and landed often
enough to sting the little Californian to madness
and keep him growing weaker all the time
McCarthys constant battering had the desired
effect Warren lost science as he lost strength,
and, rushing madly, struck aiInessly and wore
himself out He went down frequently in the
twentieth round, and was nearly knocked out
when the gong sounded the close of that round
When he came up for the twenty first round
the fight was plainly hopeless. Mccarthy
countered with his right as he rushed in, and
Warren went down on all fours. He tried hard
TO struggle up before the eight seconds were
called but fell forward on his hands and was
counted out. Mccarthy was without scratch
George Dixon whipped Cal Mccarthy easily.
Dixon fights at lI6 pounds and calls himself the
bantam champion OF the world.l

Upon the filing of the accusations the alleged
offender was summoned before sn alleged court

into the civil court After holly contested
judicial battle the superior court decided that
the court-martial had no jurisdiction over
Lieutenant Gorham for the oflenSe Charged, and
no jurisdiction TO try such cause. The court
enjoued all persons from any interference with
lieutenant Gorham in the performance OF his
duties

A very popular but blind count

Being witty and musical his society
is much sought after. He left Paris
three months ago, and on his return
called on a fashionable marchion.

fancy ball. She begged to be ex-
cused, but as he had an important
message to deliver, he was shown
in, and being of course blind, he
was asked to take a seat in her
boudoir. Gossip ensued, and dur
ing all the time the marchioness,
assisted by her maid, executed the
mysteries of her toilet. Being
ready to descend to her carriage the
count stated that he had been ab-
sent in London, and had undergone
q successful operation for a cataract,
and could now see as well as the
marchioness. The latter shrieked,
and jumped into her carriage with
out even an au revoir for the un-
welcome guest.

A Stranded Actor.

Joseph Jefferson is oyer. eighty
years of age, and his well-known
aversion to fast driving is due in a
great measure to the timidity of
valetudinarianism. During the sec
ond week of his engagement at the
Garden Theatre Mr.. Jefferson took
a cab at Madison square one night
after the performance. "Now drl-
ver," he said, putting his head out
of the window, II want you to 60
very carefully, avoid racing with
other cabs and be as cautious as
possible in turning corners" After
the delivery of these injunctions
Mr.. Jefferson pulled up the window,
settled himself comfortably in the
cushions and, the performance OF
DR.. Pangloss having tired him con-
siderably, fell sound asleep. Mean
while cabby had gotten into a row
with another driver about the pro-
prietorship of a nose-bag, and as
the alteration speedily led to blows,
both Jehus were hauled off to the
station house and locked up for the
night. At 4 o'clock in the morning
Mr.. Jefferson woke up. The emi-
nent comedian was cold and hun

Troublesome Bank Accounts.

them q certain standing. Many Of
