[By telegraph to the Dispatch. ]

LOUISVILLE. KY, January 3.-1he bloodi-
est fight in Magofin county's history took
place to-day about one mile from Salyers-
vile. Eight or ten of the countys best
known citizens were engaged on each side,
armed with repeating rifles and navy pis-
tolls, and the trouble. whicn bad its incep-
ton in q trivial matter the day before,
eliminated in pitched battle.
John Davis was killed by pistol-shot

a5le1 and disarmed. w. +. DeakiDs, con-
stable. was fatally wounded by shot in
the right hip. the bail ranging upward.
NJ. Deakins. a justice of the peace. has not
been found since the fight, but he left q
bloody trail on the snow through wood
near the scene Of the battle. and is sup
posed TO be fatally wounded The gun
with which he IS known TO have been
armed was found to-day IN the woods.

sponslbc for the terrible affair are con-

the fatal shots. Dug and Samuel Risner
were brought here this morning by Coro-
ner Cole and a strong guard. charged
under warrant issued by Monteville
Deakins with an assault on W. +. Deaklns.
DANGEROUS IMPRoPRIETY.
Tue Coroner committed the dangerous
improperly OF making his guard of per-
sons who were identified with the prosecu-
ton. This was resented by the friends Of
the prisoners. and both sides came to town
heavily armed. The prisoners were ar
raigned before Police-Judge George
If. Gardner, and the Commonwealth
not being ready for trial they were
released under bond. Some loud
talking on the part of one Of the
Bisners very nearly precipitated fight IN
town about o'clock, but prompt inter
ference Of the authorities prevented IT..
The fight took place an hour later.
No arrests have been made, and 1T ls
feared that another fight is imminent.

damus proceedings to compel the Secre-
tary of State IN making his official canvass
OF votes cast for presidential electors at
the recent elections to abstain from count
ing the votes cast in counties where tne
name of Pierce (Populist- Democratic cleo
tori appeared twice on the official ballot.
The court decided in favor of Pierce.
which gives one electoral vote to the
Populists. The court held that the print
ing of Pierce's name on the ballot more
than once was contrary to the provisions
of the statute. but that 1t was an error OK
the County Clerk which error. the court
holds, does not deprive the voter who cast
the ballot of his elective franchise. or the
candidate for whom 1t was cast Of the
benefit of such vote.

WHY THE GALLIA PROCEEDED.
More UnoficiaI Explanation of Her
Leaving the Umbria.


(By Anglo-American cable 10 the Dispatch.l
LONDON, January 3.-The Gallia arrived
at LIVERPOOL TO-DAY. Captain Ferguson
and his officers persisted in their refusal to
talk on the subject Of the Umbria without
having first consulted the management OF
the line. The passengers, OF course. felt
no such obligation, and readily enough
explained the situation as IL appeared 10
them. They SAID that the Umbra
signalled TO the Gallia requesting. that
steamer to stand by for twenty-tour hours,
Captain Mckay stating that the shaft
would probably be repaired within that
time.
The Gallia waited for three hours.
Then Captain Ferguson signalled to the
Umbria that his vessel had only sufficient
coal on board TO reach Liverpool, and upon
sending this me sage Captain Ferguson de-
cided to proceed.
The passengers are uncertain whether
Captain Mckay protested against tho
Gallias proceeding. The passengers all
agree, however, that the condition OF the
Umbria did Eot variant any apprehension
of danger at the time the Gallla steamed
away on her voyage.
The Cunard management will issue an
official statement based on the report re-
celved from Captain Ferguson.
THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATION.
The Cunard Company have issued an Of
ficial statement of the Gallia- Umbria incl
dent. In this statement Captain Fergu-
son. OF the Gallia, saws that when his
steamer approached the Umbria he saw
steamer lying in proximity 10 her blowing
of steam.
The Umbria was lying like duck in the
water and formed a perfect picture OF Sc
curity, while the Galiia was rolling. On
reading the signal question Shaft
broken" Ferguson consulted with his chef
engineer.
The latter officer was satisfied from the
next signal. Ready to proceed to-mor-
row." that the Umbris was in no danger.

OMAHA, NEB., January 3.--The attorneys
and uoliticlans were greatly astonished
this morning when they read IN the Omaha
pauers what purpOrted TO be the Supreme
Court's decision IN the kruZ-NOrtOn con-
test for n seat az representative from Knox
and Boyd counties. 1t was recognized as
not the decision delivered from the bench.
n contained a clause uulifyinR the GER
tifcatc now held by kruz Populist). This
did not appear IN the oral decision.
CbleEJustce Maxwell caused O sensation
at the opening of court this morning by
asking how the offensive clause came INTO
the printed decision. Justice Post re-
marked that il was inserted bv him (Post)
aud an attorney after the Chiet-Justice
had left the bench. The two justices had
some angry words about the matter. IL
Will be investigated.
Last night County-Clerk Won Camp, of
Knox county, was captured by n messen-
ger from the State Supreme Court and
ordered to canvass the returns of Knox
and Boyd counties. Won Camp had
already issued a certificate of election to
Kruz, the POpuhst candidate for the
House but had not canvassed the vote OF
Boyd county. Late last night be COM
pleted the votes and issued secoud
certificate of election to Norton (Republi-
cam.
A messenger sent by the Republican
managers hurried TO Lincoln with the GER
titicate by stage and train, but so far as
concerns the organization of the House all
tins work Is frutless. A dispatch from
Lincoln says that IN the House to-day the
Democrats and Independents combined
captured the temporary organization. In
the Senate no organization was effected.
The votes were divided between the Demo
cratic, Independent. and Republican
parties with neither having majority.
The results of the day clearly indicate
combination of Populists and Democrats,
aud make the re-eIection OF Senator Pad
dock more doubtful than ever.
