NoRfolK, (Na.) Oct i5.-Ncvs
has just been received IN this CITY
that n pr.zo-hght took place on the
flagship New York, in Hampton
Road, Sunday night. The princi-
pulls were kid Foley II the New
York and Ed Hanlon Of the Tex
as, which is also lying in the
roadstoad. The fight was for u
purse, to be determined in Is
rounds, but lIanion was knocked
out in the eighth round. The time
was 22:lO.
Folev's seconds were Montague
and Carlos of the New York.
Hanlon's were j. Lee and 7.

was G. Lynch of the Mlnneapo-
lis. Mcnamara and o. Rourke
olliciated As judges and ".
O'Neill Of the New York and 7.
Derry of the raleigh as time
keepers. The contest was waged
from the start with oXtraor-
binary bitterness and the shouts
of the spectators, who included
all the seamen of the fleet who
could obtain leave, reached far
beyond the forecastlc, in which
the fight occurred. 1t was fully
half an hour after the knocEOut
before Hanlon regalned con
seriousness.
Meantime he was attended by
his seconds and the judges and
timekeepers. The greatest alarm
was felt lest the end prove fatal.
1t is said that several officers of
the feet witnessed the fight. The
officers of the New York, besides
Rear Admiral Bunce, include

succeeded Fighting Bob" Evans,

Spain offered to settle the whole mat

was accepted by our government, but
the money was never paid. The last
congress adopted resolution that the
president insist on the payment of the
claim with accrued interest. A formal
demand for this payment was made last
June, but the Spanish cortes. though
then in session, adjourned without TAX

eided to pay the claim, but without the

in proper form, and the witnesses
swore that it had been legally exc
cuted. One of them, an old servant,
had already sworn that he saw the
deceased sign the will. YES" he
continued, 81 saw him sign it, and
sure there was life in him at the
time" This expression was re-
peated SO frequently that O'Connell
was led to believe that it had some
peculiar meaning. He fixed his
eyes upon the old man and said,
gravely: "You have taken a solemn
oath, before God and man, to speak
80 truth and the whole truth. The
eye # God is upon you. The eyes
of your neighbors are fixed upon you
also. Answer me, by the virtue Of
that sacred and solemn oath which
has passed your lips, was the testa-
tor alive when he signed the will2"
The witness was struck by this
solemn manner of address. His lips
quivered, his limbs trembled, and he
faltered out the reply: There was
life in him!' The question was re-
peated in a yet more impressive
manner. Again he trembled and
stammered forth his stock phrase.
Finally, by dint of clever leading
and suggestion, OConnell drew
from him the fact that a pen had
been placed in the dead mans hand,
and the legatee himself had guided
it and traced the signature. But to
meet the exigency of legal question
ing, living fly had been placed in
the dead mans mouth. Thus there
was ''life in him" at the time.
