Their Coming Mill Exciting Interest
Among tho Sports.
CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-The Hall and Pritoh-
ard fight for $4,000 promises to cre-
ate no little excitement in America, az we'll
az in England. Judging from the records
of the two men. the battle will be a stub
born one. Pritchard is great favorite
over the ocean, of coulse, but Hall will
son Dsves Who of
what he is doing. Pritohard has
won every battle he has 80
far engaged in. He stands I've feet nine
inches in height, and is only % years Of age.
He knocked Jem Cashlsy Yorky ont in two
rounds defeated Dave Calvin, Dick Leary.
and Dave Burk in \ ten-stone open cham
pionship tournament, beat Jem HAYES for
92O0 in four rounds, and defented ALI Nit
chell for G20O side and tho middle weight
championship of England, Dec. Is, 1890, in
four rounds. He also fought jack Burke,
the Irish lad, we'll known in this coun-
try, on March II, 1891, for $1,000 and the
mildlewsRht championship of England,
ana knocked Burke out in three rounds in
side of eleven minutes. Pritehard was
then matched to fight Jem Smith at catch
weights for E1. 600 and the championship of
England. Many supposed Pritohard would
be defeated and odds were wagersd on
81, 1891. at London, and Prtohard sur
prissd the fancy by knocking the champion
out in thres round.
P,itchard is hurricane fighter and ter
ribls punisher. His battle with the Eng
lish champion proved this; for while only
three rounds were fought smiths eyes were
blkckened, one closed, and his cheeks cut
and badly bruised, although the fight did
not last nine minutes. John Gideon, who
backed Tom Sayers in nearly all his bat
ties. and who ia now living Paris, and Jack
Percival, who arranged the international
fight between John G. Heenan and Tom
King for $40, 600. both claim that Pritchard
is the best fighter England has produced
since Jem Mace retired.
Charley Mitchell and Frank p. Slavin
will second Hall, and it is understood Jack
Baldock and probably Jack Harper, who
seconded Jem Smith when he fought Jake
Kilrain in France. will look after Prit-
chArd's interest. Pritchard 10 looked upon
by some as second Tom Sayers. He
fights at the same weight as the once
famous English champion, but he is not as
muscular and does not possess the bull dog
courage and stamina of Sayers.
Hall has done bis work at Brighton and
will enter the ring in trst-class condition.
He has made host of friends and will be
heavily backed.

der and Robbery.
PANAMA. Aug. 12.-An account Of peculiar
atrocity in Chill is received in the shooting.
robbery and brutal treatment by bandits
of two prominent families. Don Jose Mig
uel Valesco. of Cotopos. and family, while
en- route to Santiago, stopped at Nan Juan
del Peral. About 1880 Saturday evening
Valesco. in company with the members of
his family, was in q room which opened
onto the corridor Of the house, whom the
murmur of voices was heard, and he (Val-
esco) not suspecting danger, opened the
door, when he was shot in the left cheek,
the ball lodging in the brain, and he fell
mortally wounded. Valesco WAS then
pouncsd upon by one of the bandits, who
bound his arms and robbed him OF his
money and jewels and left him to the other
bandits, who dubbed the dying man
on the head with the butt end of their car
bines. Mrs. Valesco, seizing two children,
! took refuge in an adjoining room while two
daughters fed into the yard. The bandits
treating her bound her hands and feet.
I hey tore out her ear rings and stripped
her of other jewelry. threatening to kill her
if she made the slightest noise. The Others
pursued Miss sara Valesco, Airing at her ~
she fed across the yard with the two chill
| where a servant had already fed. but WAS
| quickly traced and she too was bound hand
and foot and mAltreated. The butler, who
| started to assist his master. fell to tho
ground insensible. and being dragged to
| where Valssoo lay dead. was thrown across
the body.
Don Andres Hardes hearing the shots.
accompanied by his son started for the
scene. They had not gone far before they
were fired upon by some bandita who had
been set on guard and the son fell wounded
through the thigh. After plundering the
house the bandits left and those who sue
cesded in hiding from them caus out and
unbound the victims. The gang numbered
about twenty and their faces were covered
with handkerchisfs, and they were far from
the vulgar class.
At the same time three men asked to be
allowed to remain all night at the house of
Don Jose Mercedes Lsal. at koblsria. In
the middle of the night they arose. forced
an entrance to their hosts bedroom and
stabbed him and his wife to death. A 10
year old son escaped and later identified
two men who have since been arrested on

LONDON, Aug 12.--Gladstone will go to
Osborne house Monday with 2 complete
list of the next cabinet to submit 10 tho
queen, bnt. in pursuance Of constitutional
usage, be maintains absolute silence on the
proposed appointments. II is impossibls
to conceal the fact that arrangements arc
being made for Sir VIM. Vernon Hsroourt
at the exchequer. and for John Morley ~
Irish secretary, but Gladstone's intentions
regarding other ministers are not known,
even TO some of the definitely appointed
members of his ministry. Being punotil-
lious observer of official precedent. he will
not formally offer place to any one until
he actually receives the queens commands
to form ministry. Among the most strik-
| ing reports finding credence in official legal
| quarters ia ono to the effect that Lord
Herschell will become governor general of
India, that Lord Chief Justice Coleridge
will become lord chancellor and Sir Charles
Russell will become lord chief Justice.
Lord Herschelrs transfersncs will cause q
shudder of apprehension throuRhout the
country, in view Of the critical position Of
Indian Russian relations. Until Tuesday,
when Gladstone returns from Osborne
house, the exact composition Of the cabinet
will remain unknown.
| 1t is known in court circles that II was fear
regarding the personnel of the Gladstone
ministry that mainly induced the queen TO
consult the duke Of Devonshire during his
visit to Osborne house. as to whether it 10
possible for him to reunite with Gladstone
and sweetsn the liberal ministry by having
Office himself. Another source of the
queens disquietude is the change in regal
household appointments inevitable on
Gladstone's accession to power. Gladstone
will find it exceedingly difficult to get per-
sonages agreeable to the queen to fill great
court offices.
The house Of commons will resume busi-
ness on Thursday next and will mainly
