Sullivan Whipped.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
AUGUSTA, Ga, Feb. 26.-News was re.
ceived here last evening through an express
messenger that john L. Sullivan was
whipped by train hand on Georgia rail
road Tuesday. Sullivan and his company
were on their way from Columbia S. c.,
to Macon, Ca, where he was to play that
night. They had stopped in Augusta for. a
few hours waiting Tor connections, and
Sullivan had improved the opportunity to
get bowling drunk. When he boarded the
urain he was in remarkably bad humor
After the train had gone short distance
he asked Townsend, who was going through
the coach, what was dinner station. Upon
being answered politely, he said: Don't
be so fresh. young man. How do 1 know
whether or not you are lying!" and went on
to use the foulest language imaginable.
Townsend stood this as long as possible,
and then went for the big fellow in style.
He hit him in the eyes and choked him
severely and was in fair way to kill him
when some members of the company Jumped
in and pulled him off. After Townsend was
gotten away Sullivan tried to bluff him out
of the car, but it wouldn't go. The train
said: 81 am paid to stay in here, and stay
I will, Sullivan or no Sullivan" The ex-
element was intense during the scrap, but
the train was not stopped. 1t looked for
few minutes, so says the messenger, a.
though there would be big free fight, bu+
no one was hurt except the slugger, who
finally Gained down and went into &
| drunken sleep.

Mackay interviewed.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch ]
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-John w. Mackay is
at the Windsor hotel with his son. c. w.
Bonynge, of London, whom Mr.. Mackay
tackled in the Nevada bank in San Fran
cisco, a month ago, is also in the city.
Usually Mr.. Bonynge stops at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, but he was not there to-day
Mr.. Mackav did not appear to be at all
nervous over the presence of Mr.. Bonynge
in the city, and he said if Mr.. Bonynge
could stand it he surely could. He did not
think Mr.. Bonynge would care to repeat
the attack upon. him.
Mr.. Mackay's attention was drawn to a
newspaper clipping, in which it was said
Mr.. Bonynge intended to visit this city in
the hope of meeting Mr. Mackay, and that
then he expected to administer to him such
thrashing as he ought to have given him
in San Francisco, had he not been afraid of
Mr.. Mackay's influence with the judiciary.
LET him come and thrash, since he will
have it them" Mr.. Mackay replied, smile
playing over his face
1t is generally believed by men who
lounge in the hotel corridors that it is
pretty certain the battle of last month Will
surely be renewed in this city. MIR.
Bonynge, who was in Washington a few
days ago calling upon Secretary Blaine in
regard to the Pacific cable, told friends
that he intended to come to this city and
put up at the Windsor hotel, where it is
known Mr. Mackay always stops when
here. But Mr.. Bonynge is not at the
Windsor

LEGISLATIVE STRIKE
Idaho Representatives Refuse to
Transact
FURTHER NECESSARY BUSINESS
Until the Supreme Court Decides Whether
the Present Session of the Legislature
is an Unlimited One.

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 90 Special telegram
to THE HERALD. "A strike occurred in the
legislature when the house refused to tran
sact further business until the supreme
court decides as to whether this session Of
the legislature expired last Friday or is
unlimited, so the house this morning i'm
mediately after the reading of the journal
adjourned for the day. An amendment was
offered that it be adjourned sine die, but
the speaker ruled this out of order. On
last Saturday one member, Representative
Goodnight. as arranged, requested his pay
for the sixty first day. This the auditor re-
fused to give a warrant for it, claiming the
constitution allowed pay for sixty days
only. Goodnight then brought mandamus
proceedings before the supreme court to
make the auditor issue q warrant. The
matter was argued in court yesterday and
continued over today, and the legislators
thought if the court could not take prompt
action on matter of so much Importance,
they too would have the same kind of holi-
day as the court. The court announced
this morning that to morrow morning de-
cision would be rendered, and it is believed
limited and so will construe the uncertain
constitution.
The senate also struck, but before ad
1ourning transacted some business, passing
a resolution providing for joint committee
CT both houses on legislative appropriations
Il also passed two bills regarding trial by
juries for misdemeanors and one introduced
amending the statutes so aliens can holC
mineral property.
Some members are leaving for home
nearly every day and it is believed by the
first of next week there will hardly be
quorum. Then a recess will be taken til
next November or an adjournment The
advantage of recess would be no member
could draw mileage. The bills now on tht
calendar would be taken up and at leas
three weeks time saved thereby, as, il
case of an adjournment, if the governor
called a special session, all bills would b.
again introduced and such legislation a
the governors proclamation stated coult
be enacted. There is one thing certain
whether the session is limited or unlimite,
within one week all the legislators will b
bound for home.

his boast at the club house, and in time
Slavin Joined in the discussion, which
became very heated. SlaVin, at
first, treated the matter in jocular spirit,
but in the end he lost his temper and
pushed Mitchell away with some degree of
force. This seemed to rouse the blood of
Mitchell, who made rush at Slavin, but
| failed to hit him. Slavin replied with a
hard one on his assailant's neck, which
f1oored the Englishman. Mitchell rose and
reached for bottle to strike Slavin, but

time Snllivans former opponent was

In his efferts to do up Slavin, who practi-
cally mopped UP the floor with him and

he was hustled into a cab by his friends
and driven home. He is now confined to
his bed on account of his injuries. Slavin

Anna Dickinson is Very Poorly.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 26-The rumor
that Anna Dickinson's mind had become
deranged and her friends had found it
necessary to remove her to an insane asy-
lum, created a sensation this afternoon.
The gifted lady has resided for years with
her sister, Susan Dickinson, in the quiet
little village of Vest Pittson. For some
time past her health has been in a precar-
ious condition because OF insomnia. A
consultation Of physicians yesterday de-
cided a change of scene and absolute quiet
could furnish the only hope for her com
plete recovery. Accordingly she was re-
moved quietly from her home this after
noon but where she has been taken her
friends decline to say. They emphatically
deny, however, that she has been taken to
an insane asylum or that her mind is I'M

The Big Fire in Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 26.-The fire
in the Clare Speaker paint works which
started last night was. still raging at
o'clock this morning, though under control.
The damage to property will be nearly
81 900, 900, most of which is to the lumber
exchange, magnificent twelve s ry block
at Fifth street and Hennepin avenue, the
Robinson block and Russell block, the latter
owned by Sol Smith Russell, the actor, are
completely ruined. The fire caught in the
upper part of the lumber exchange, which
was claimed to be fire proof, and burned
tiercely. The water did not reach above
the seventh or eighth story, and the firemen
were nearly powerless. st. Paul was called
upon for aid and responded with two en-
gines. The thermometer was below zero
last night. The intense cold retarded the
iremen great deal as the hose kept freez-
ing and bursting. Occasionally from
the wall on the upper floors there
was shower of rock, followed
by loud report. This noise was caused
by the bursting stone. For time these
followed in rapid succession and then grew
frequent only TO increase in number again
when the fire grew intensely hot at some
particular point.
After a fight of eleven hours the fire de-
! partment succeeded in combining it to the
| four upper stories of the lumber exchange,
the flames of which it was thought at one
time would certainly consume the entire
building. The structure looked like veri-
table ice palace after the fire. The walls
as high as the hose could throw water were
covered foot thick with ice and the side
walks piled from five to eight feet high
with ice and snow formed from the water
The losses have been exaggerated. The
loss only foots up $162,000, divided as fol
