which sent Dixon to the floor was as un-

ceiver. Dixon. it is said, was suffering
from a heavy cold. Following Is an ac-
count of the way 1t was done:
Dixon lost no time in getting down to
business in the second round. and used
his left to advantage on the Rosebud's
wind. Finally the pair got into Dixon's
corner. Dixon led with his left, and Ed

then made a half-arm swing with his
right and landed on Dixon's left cheek,

COERCION TO BE GIVEN UP.
The Bill Repeating the Act Passes Its
Second Reading.

The Vote 254 to 195-The Result Re
ceived With Prolonged Cheering by
the Liberal and Irish Benches-Mr.
Morley Ascribes the Decrease of
Crime in Ireland to the sympathy
of the People With the Present Gov
erment.
London, April 1s.-John P. Nolan,
member for North Galway in the House
of Commons, to-day moved the second
reading of the bill repeating the coercion
act.
William Redmond, member for East
Claire, seconded the motion.
Dunbar P. Barton, conservative, mem
Der for Middle Armagh, opposed the mo-
ton.
John Morley, chief secretary for Ire
land, said that except in the case of the
Phoenix Park murders the court of secret
inquiry had proved a useful weapon in
the hands of the government. There was
less crime, he added in Ireland now than
that this was due to the sympathy of the
people with the present government.
THE GOVERNMENTS ALLIES.
Mr.. Morley said the government had
been reproached with governing by the
aid of the Irish members and the clergy.
All that he could say was that a man
would be very unwise if he did not have
such aid on his side. One might suppose
it to be a disgrace to have the moral
leaders of the community on the
side Of the government If that
was disgrace, they were quite willing
to bear it. Cheers. The coercion act,
Mr. Morley also said put perpetual
stigma upon Ireland and the liberal party
and he would be eternally disgraced if he
hesitated to affirm, this afternoon, the
under permanent criminal repressive
laws. Cheers.
BALFoUR REPLIES TO MORLEY.
A. J. Balfour, the conservative leader,
said that Mr.. Morley's sole argument in
favor of the repeal of the coercion act
was that the government had been able
to do without coercion. Mr.. Morley, he
added, had received the support of the
Irish members of parliament and clergy
for a definite purpose. but this support
would be withheld from a unionist
government. In order to govern
ireland without exceptional laws, the
Irish members of parliament must guar
antee never again to use crime in order to
advance their political views. The House
before adopting the bill should insist
upon full discussion of the whole sub
ject and not be satisfied with an after
noon s purfunctory debate.
John Redmond moved the closure,
which was carried by vote of 255 10 1856.
The bill repeating the coercion act then
passed on its second reading by a vote of
254 to 1875. The result was received
with prolonged cheering from the liberal
and Irish benches.

sEvILLE's TRAGEDY.
]. E. Rottern Held to Await the
Action of the Grand Jury.

Abbeville, Ga, April 1s.-The prelimi-
nary trial of J. f. Rottern for the shoot
ing Of G. w. jackson, last Friday, at
Seville, resulted in his incarceration in
the county Jail to await the action of the
grand jury.
The account of the affair sent the
Morning News yesterday was neces-
sarily inaccurate, the information having
been obtained from flying rumors. The
facts are substantially these: G. w
jackson and j. +. Rottern had a difficulty
at Seville last Friday, in which pistols
were drawn simultaneously by
both men. Each claims that
the other fired the first shot.
Several shots were fired by each of them.
Jackson was shot through the body, and
is now lying in critical condition at his
home at Seville. ROttern received four
wounds, one in the left side, near the
nipple another in the right side one in
the right hand and another on the left
forearm. While these wounds are pain
full, they are not considered serious. AS
soon as jackson fell Rottern ran, and was
pursued by the crowd that had gathered
TO negro house near at hand.
During his fight one j. J. Gorday
wrenched a Winchester rife from one
Faircloth and fired two shots at the fugi-
tive. The house where ROttern had taken
refuge was soon surrounded and his cap
ture was effected. Gorday has been
placed under bond TO answer for mis- ac-
tion. Rottern informs your correspondent
that when he was captured his captOrs
threatened to shoot him, most of them
being armed with guns and pistols He
was carried to the guard house and refused
medical aid from 5O'clock in the afternoon
till 10 O'Clock at night, when he was re-
moved TO the residence of the town mar
shall Morris. Morris placed a guard
around the house 10 protect the wounded
prisoner, but this did not prevent armed
men from lowering around the house all
night The prisoner says he gladly &C
cepted Imprisonment in the Jail for fear of
being lynched. There Is no doubt that the
sentiment in Seville is strongly against
Rottern. He is said TO be a very desperate
man. and has been engaged in similar en-
counters before, as wounds on his person
testify

Association Opened.


Atlanta, Ca, April 1s.-The forty
ninth annual convention of the Medical
Association of Georgia met in Concordia
hall this morning and was called to order
by DR. w. H. Elliott, of Savannah, the
president A large and representative
gathering of the physicians of the state
was present.
Rev. DR. T. L. Hopkins, president of
the chronological school, opened the ex-
ercises with prayer, after which Col N.
J. Hammond delivered an address of well
come.
Following the few words of welcome,
President Elliott read his annual address
to the association, his subject being The
Duty of Physician to His Patient" He
spoke of the principles of law relating to
the physicians the foundation of the law
being competency and diligence He
thought the code of ethics should be
amended among surgeons so as to make
the surgeon wholly responsible for his
patient, and not to make the attendant
medical men equally responsible. DR..
Elliott's address was a beautiful one, and
at its conclusion 1t was unanimously
voted to have it published in the daily
press.
The Capital City Club, the Commercial
Club, the South Carolina Club, the Con-
cordia Association and the Piedmont

doors to the members of the association

E. NJ. Brayton Urges Them to Register
to Fight Constitutional Conven-
ton.
Columbia, S. c., April 18,-The act
passed at the session of the legislature in
1892, providing for submitting to a popu-
lar vote the question of holding con-
stitutional convention, has aroused the
republicans. A circular letter signed by
Ellery M. Brayton, member of the ma
tional republican committee, is being dis
tributed all over the state. The
letter calls on all republicans to
register at once, declaring that the next
election will be one of vast OppOrtuni-
ties to republicans that the hostility
and dlsentegration among the democrats
affords the republicans an opportunity to
exercise their political right" and that
If the republicans are ''remisS or recreant,
1t may be the last chance many may have
to vote in South Carolina. The letter
states that the scheme for new consti-
tuition is ''fraught with danger, and in
wolves momentous changes, among which
probably are the annulllng OF The per
cent. tax for schools fixing an educational
and property qualification for the elective
franchise; establishing the chaiu-gang
and whipping post and other obnoxious
provisions"
The fact is emphasized that the pro-
posed new constitution is to be sub
mitted TO the people for ratification and
that those who now fail 10 exercise
their privileges will be responsible for
the deprivation of the rights, liberties
and privileges granted by the present
constitution"
The letter concludes in these words:
The emergency is critical and the call to
duty imperative, therefore, rally repub-
liCanS and register man who is not
registered is not voter, having no more
voice in the affairs of the state than a
a woman, felon or lunatic, and is a po-
litical Outcast y,
