BLOODY AND BRUTAL.
siokening Scenes at coney Island Slug
cling Match.


COMFY ISLAND, N. Y, Aug. lS.-The light
here last night, between Steve O'Donnell
of Australia, and John Cattanach OF Provi-
dence, X. l., was horribly brutal specta-
Gle.
The first three rounds were lively, but
the Australian clearly showed his superb
GRITTY. In the fourth round both men came
up smiling. 0'Donnell led and landed
lightly with his left. Cattanach led for the
wind and missed. The men fought all
around the ring, O'Donnell landing when
he pleased and forcing his man all over
the ring. Both men were very weak from
their exertions and O'Donnell sent Catta-
mach down without the least apparent eff
fort and afterwards kept pounding his
man all over tho ring and caused the
blood to flow in streams down his breast.
Cattanach was beaten until it was pit
table sight to see him staggering about
under the terrific punishment he was re-
ceivlng.
Referee Eckhardt attempted to stop the
fight for humanity sake, but Just as he
pulled O'Donnell away Cattanach broke
past him and landed several blows. 0Don-
nell then went at Cattanack like an in
furiated bull and landed viciously. II was
only the gong that saved Cattanach from
being knocked out. He was carried to his
corner and the battle brought to close by
Jimmy Carroll throwing up the sponge.
Cattanach was one OF the worst used'up
men they have yet had after fight at the
island,

An ExCIrING RUNAWAY.
Two Horses Create CONSERVATION Along
the Mndison Straet Market.

the Madison street Market.
The unusul spectacle of two horses at
teched to different vehicles running away.
side by side, along Madison street. created
considerable excitement Friday after
noon. The horses were owned by +. j,
Meredith, grocer at Sixth and Madison
streets, and q. ID. LOhand butcher. The
horses were standing in front of Mr..
Siereliths store, their heads in opposite
directions. Bofland's horse began biting
the grocer's steed, and in some manner
the harness of the horses got tangled up.
Then the horse of the butcher started to
run away up Madison street, dragging the
grocer's horse and wagon after him. The
latter horse turned completely around in
the street without upsetting the wagon.
The animal at first hung back until he
found he was unable to free himself from
the other horses harness. Then he forged
rapidly ahead, freeing himself from The
butchers runaway team. At Eighth and
Madison the grocers horse kept ON up the
street, while Lofiands horse turned out
West Ninth, and upset the vehicle, tearing
the top off and smashing 1t generally. The
grocer's wagon was upset at Ninth and
Madison and was total wreck. The horse
was afterwards caught.
During the runaway along Madison
street. the greatest excitement was created
by the sight of two horses running away
side by side, and every one tried to avoid
them. The runaway vehicles collided with
| two produce wagons. however, and wrecked
them badly. The horses escaped with q
| few slight bruises. No one was injured.

Orleans rs fast as currency may be depos-
tied with the suh-treasury at New YORK,
the cotton crop will undoubtedly be

A RIFT IN THE CLOUDS.
r. g. Dun g. Company say; There is
rift in the clouds Faint and yet definite
signs of improvement are all the better
because they come, not from possibly de-
lusive hopes or FROM momentary foreign
aid. but from the good sense and the won
derful recuperative power of the people
themselves. Business is trying to go ahead
without waiting for Washington. Imported
gold, S9,00O000 or more during the week,
does not go TO the right spot, but the people
are creating a homemade currency for
themselves by using certified checks in
paying hands, settling local accounts and
purchasing grain and cotton. The bank
circulation has increased S2,O0O,OOO, but
the decrease on deposits of national banks
alone, May 4th to July 18th, was 1888
lb9,6sS. and during the past month with
drawals have also been heavy. Little
money comes back as yet from timid
boards, aud the paralysis of exchange Is
nearly as complete AS ever, but that very
fact pushes exchange section and city into
relying more on itself and less OH govern
ment and Wall street. Many concerns are
failing or closing, but assumptions are now
becoming somewhat frequent, and in the
very shrinkage Of production men see evil
dence that demand must sooD oyertake

Complications Over the Appointment of
County Ofiicer In Brandywine Hun
dred.
The appointment of constable for
Brandywine hundred has led to compli-
cations which the Levy Court Commits
sioners have been at their wits end to
settle, for a period of several weeks.
The law allows the appointment of two
constables in that hundred, but there
being but one magistrates office there il
is said that it is difficult to get a second
constable to accept the office,
Some time ago number of business
men urged the Levy Court to appoint
ox-Constable Charles Green, Repub-
lican, to the office, but that body claimed
there were sufficient Democrats to fill
the place, without having to appoint a
man from the party of the opposite po-
litical faith.
The Levy Court has slated William
Husbands, farmer, for the place, but
as he does not care to accept the posi-
ton it is said the office may yet go beg
ging.
