gene Sandow, the strong man, was horse
whipped by L%urline, the Water Queen Sat
urday night at the conclusion of his engage

drew a cowhide from beneath her wrap and
struck him thrice across the face and body.

tive Sergeant Heidelberg, Of police head
quarters, who is stationed at the Casino at
nights, stepped forward and told the in

rest.

publicans, except thirty-nine, among
whom were Mr.. O'Ferrall, and Messrs.
Warner and Williams, the two north
ern mugwumps who abused enato
Daniel and the late Senator Barbour
before q Richmond audience, because
thew did not believe Mr.. Cleveland the
most available man for the Presidential
nomination.
2nd. That of the th%irty-nine demo
Gratis referred to, only three were mem
hers of the elections committee, OF
whom Mr.. C'Ferrall was one, though
there were nine.
Srd. That though the question was
asserted to be purely a legal one, only
n of the ten democratic members
of the judiciary committee voted with
the th~irty-nine, and he was from Mi
o,Ferralrs own State, though among
the others were such distinguished
;nrists as Messrs. Culberson, Boatner
and Fellows.

legality of whose election was attested
by every democratic member OF the
Hopse present except 80, and Noyes,

Colonel of the 3Sth regiment OF negro
