BARNEY HUGHES is DEAD.
A Well Known Railroad Man Passes
Away at Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 6. Barney Hughes
is dead.
Many an eye will grow dim and
many heart throb as the news circu-
lates among the railroad offices Of the
south. Probably no railroad man,
living south OF the Ohio River, enjoyed
greater popularity and possessed more
friends than the latesj victim to the
inexorable reaper.
Mr.. Hughes entered the service Of
the Memphis & Charleston Railway at
the close of the war as an operator,
and by his zeal and faithfulness, finally
attained the position of commercial
agent at Memphis, at which place he
passed away on Saturday night, after
short sickness of one week.
1t was truly remarked of him, that he
accepted the world as he found it, and
made it brighter for all who came in
contact with him.

W. II. Harris New Nickel Plate Show.

The world famous white horse show,
so called from the fact that all its
horses are milk white, will give two
exhibitions at Johnson City on Fri
day Sept 9th, at 2 and 8p. m. This
show has become immensely popular
in all cities in which exhibitions have
been given, and is without doubt the
best tented exhibition that has visited
this section in somey years. Among its
principal FEATURES are a wonderful
$4,000 challenge den of performing
lions and tigers, a troupe of milk white
Arabian trained stations, a trinity
of educated trick mules, and a grand
company of performers carefully SO
lected from the cream of European
and American circus talent-the most
daring male and female riders, aerial
lists, equilibrits, contortionists, and
five funny clowns. Do.not fail to see
this great moral show.

good as he got. Skelley was off his
guard, and received a heavy left hand
punch on the nose. Dixon nearly
knocked his opponent down with a
heavy right and in hot exchange
out of which Skelley came covered
with blood. The Brooklynite seemed
to be losing ground rapidly. This was
a po 'itive colored boy s.round.
Round six-The men stepped up
briskly and commenced clinching.
Dixon landed a heavy left hand swing
though he got terrible right on the
ear. He was much stronger than his
opponent, and the manner in which
he offered battle showed his confidence
in himself. He landed heavy left
hand swing on his opponents ribs and
clinched to save himself. Dixon re-
ceived heavy right on the neck
though his opponent was growing
weak. In a fearful exchange OF blows
Dixon landed two terrible punches
on Skelley with both hands on the
head and body. The battle SO far was
all one way and the white boy looked
as il he could not last through another
round.
Round seven-Dixon commenced
this round by an attempt to land his
left; his effort was futile however, for
Skelley avoiding neatly came to an
awkward clinch in which Dixon's
generalship was much admired. In
an exchange of blows both mems
heads came together. Dixon followed
up his opponent closely and the latter
did not seem so anxious to fight. The
colored boy landed heavy right and
left and would have knock out his
man but for clinCh. Skelley looked
beaten and was punched to the floor
twice. The sound OF the gong barely
saved him, for he was showing signs
OF terrible punishment. As he sat in
his corner he looked limp and beaten
Round S-Dixon stepped up to his
man and knowing how weak the latter
was landed light left on the head,
The men boxed carefully and came to
clinch from an attempt of Dixon
forced his man into the corner where
he delivered heavy right and left
handler and it was astonishing how
Skelly stood punishment. He was
gone however, and in a strong ex-
change he was beaten to the ground
with terrible right and left swings
AT the end of the battle challenge
from Charley Mitchell to the winner
OF the Sullivan -Corbett fight was read
and heartily laughed at

FOR The BETTER.

Recent Reports From the Infected
Vessels.

New YORK, Sept, 7.-If any change
in the situation this morning it is for
the better 1t is possible that during
the day the condition of the detained
saloon passengers may be improved.
DR.. Jenkins, the health officer, is
trying to complete arrangements with
the Hamburg American packet COM
pany by which a sound steamer or
some other large, clean and commo-
dious craft may be anchored within
the dead line and serve as a hotel hos
pital prison for the saloon passengers
Of the Normandie, many of whom are
wealthy and influential people.
The passengers claim it will be bet
ter for them to leave the infected ship
and take up quarters on some vessel
not yet visited by cholera. 1t seems
probable that their request will be
granted.
On all sides are heard the highest
praises on the conduct of the ladies
imprisoned on the pest ships. They
have shown most pfaisewolthy
nerve and set bright example to the
more faint hearted of the other sex.
