The Coming Fight.

The sporting fraternity in this city
and vicinity is now interested in the
coming fight between Jack Welch and
kid Mccoy. If records count for
anything they are "good 'uns," and the
battle will be hard fought, Mccoy IS
In Pittsburg, because he failed to Sc
cured suitable training quarters here.
he is also working up an interest In
the contest, aud will probably be &C
companied by a delegation Of sports
from the Smoky City when he returns
on the day before the fight. He is tall
and has a good reach. He
is a very clever sparrer and
hard hitter, and has been boxing
about once a month for some time
past.
Welch will train here and expects to
be in prime shape by the day of the
fight. He is small and compsctly built,
lacking the reach Of his opponent, but
is said to possess great staying powers,
and looks like he could stand a grea.
deal of punishment. Men who are in
terested have practically decided upon
a place for the contest.

Many Dead Bodies Recovered.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. 31.-News from
the storm-swept district of Port ROYAL
and Beaufort is still very meager.
There is no telegraphic communication
with these places, the only news OBJ
tainable being by mail. News received
by the Chronicle brings the startling
intelligence that seventy dead and
swollen bodies were taken from the
Coosaw river by searching parties. Not
one-half of the horrors of the storm has
yet been told, as messengers from sur
rounding sections are arriving hourly
bringing news of deaths and terrible
havoc caused by Saturday nights gale.
The result of the days work of relief
puts the number of missing at over 100,
but owing to the poor means of COM
munication correct lists of the dead
cannot be obtained. At several places
along the Coo.aw river were found
eight or ten bodies lying on the bank
close together. Graves were hastily
dug near the places of discovery of
the bodies and without ceremony the
storm victims were placed beneath the
earth. Many of the dead were SO ad-
vanced in putrefaction that the sight
was sickening and revolving. Suffer-
ing in some localities anon g negroes is
reported az being distressing. They
must have assistance soon.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. Aug 81
Hundreds of covered wagons are COM
ing in every day, most of which stop in
this vicinity, while some go west, where
they hope to avoid the crowd. The
post office is about as busy looking
place as there is in the city. 1t is
crowded at all times during the day
and it is almost impossible to get to a
writing, desk long enough to address a
letter without waiting an hour for
turn. Extra clerks have been put on
the post Office force, but it seems that
the long string of people that get in
line at every arrival of the mails get
impatient before their turn comes.
The ruling by Secretary Smith that
only one declaration could be filed at
time by an agent for the soldier, was a
sad blow to number of agents here
who had expected to go to the land Of
flee and step up and file sixty or seven
ty without moving out of their tracks.
Many of the old soldiers who want land
are here and will make the run like the
balance. Most of those who are ex-
pected to file declarations are not and
will not be here at all: their agents will
make the declaration, and the right
will be sold to anyone who will pay
800 or $500 therefor
