TO BOX TONIGHT.
Ten-Round Fight Between Haley
and Pendergast.

1t is expected that the ten-round glove
match at the Theater Comique tonight,
between Jerry Haley and Tommy Pen
dergast, will be rattling good one.
Haley has just returned from a four
years sojourn east of the Rocky Noun
tains. where it is said he met with good
success in the boxing line. Prior to his
departure he was often seen in the ring
at the Comique and if he is as good now
as his friends say he is he ought to show
up even better than when he was the
featherweight "cock of the walk here.
Pendergast is a Sacramento boy who
is also said to be more than ordinarily
handy with his fists. He is q nephew of
Tom and John Norton, and therefore has
the benefit of good instruction in the
boxing art. He is taller and a little
heavier than Haley, but clever though
he is, the latter is confident Of his ability
to handle him.

MOBILE CITIZENS EXCITED.
THREE MURDERS WE'RE COM.
MITTED IN ONE NIGHT.
Business Practically Suspended
and the People Driven to the
Highest Pitch OF Frenzy.

MOBILE (Ala.), July 29-This city is
in turmoil to-day as the result OF
three murders which occurred last
night, and which have driven the peo-
pie to the highest pitch of frenzy. Busi.
ness is practically suspended.
The first killing took place at Z
O'Clock last evening. Thomas Jones' 6.
years of age, a Confederate veteran and
highly respected, was done to death by
Isaiah Davis, who has already served
term for assault with intent to mur-
der white man.
Jones attempted to get the negro out
of his house into which he had broken
and in the yard a scuffle followed. The
negro, a powerful man, 30 years old
entirely overmatched Mr.. Jones, and
picked up a piece of wood, which had
come off the fence, dealing his victim
crushing blow on the left temple, and
breaking his neck and killing him in
stantly.
The crowd, which rapidly assembled
was about to lynch Davis, when a
wagon load of officers rescued him with
difficulty, and he was incarcerated in
the City Jail, building strongly con-
structed and impossible Of capture
without great loss of life.
All night long a desperate and deter
mined crowd of men remained outside
the Jail, but they knew the futility OF
an attack, and We're awaiting their op-
porturity when the prisoner would be
removed.
Before midnight Mayor Bush called
out the local troops but of the 500 men
composing the First Brigade in this city
only seventy-five responded With their
officers they lay under arms all night
expecting a call.
court to-day sent Davis UP for murder
though he tried to play off insane.
Between II and ] CLOCK this morn
ing negro named Knight, known as
the Pensacola Kid shot and instant
ly killed another negro named Dantzler
AS he was being chased by the officers,
knight shot and mortally wounded Po-
liceman Tucker. The negro ran after
the shooting, but was intercepted by a
telegram, and arrested by Section Boss
Hubbard at Hurricane Bayou, at I
a. m. His captor wired for a special
engine which left on the Louisville
and Nashville, with officers They
brought the negro to town and beat
the crowd assembled to lynch him, by
stopping the engine on the outskirts of
the city and rushing through the SUI
burbs to the County Jail.

THE DAVE SMITH PARDON.
It Now Appears on the Open Book
and Why.

Yesterday the "Record-Union" stated
that the pardon of Dave Smith was
not published by the Sacramento press
at the time of the order for it, because
the fact was not entered upon the day
book kept at the Governors office for
the information of reporters, they be-
ing now denied access usual in all the
past, to the records themselves, not
withstanding that they are public rec
ords.
Yesterday a clerk in the department
invited the attention of the Record
Union" representative to the fact
that an injustice had been done the
department by yesterdays account of
the case, because the day book does
bear record of the fact of Dave Smiths
pardon under the date of July Sth.
Reply was made that that could not
be possible. as on the Sth no such entry
was found on the book, and if it had
been there it was unlikely the report
ers for all tn epapers would have over
looked it.
Examination of the day book was
The record-union., 1897-07-30

then made and a two-line entry of
the pardon of David P. Smith was
found under date of July Sth. Usually
between items entered on that book
three and four lines are left blank. In
this case but one line each side Of the
two-line item are blank, leading to the
conviction that the entry was not in the
book on the Sth, but is an Interpolation.
Secretary Shields being asked if in
fact that entry was made on the Sth
under the cross heading Of the Sth. re-
piled that he did not wish to answer
that positively. He believed, however,
that the entry was not made on the
Sth. but was put in a day or two later,
perhaps the next day. He was asked
why, if the entry was on the book on
Wednesday the 18th when the reporter
was looking up the matter his atten
tion had not been called TO the fact,
when the Secretary had said that the
only record that he had Of the case
was on the small book in the inner Of
flee. For, if as mater of fact the
entry had been made on the Sth, it
would have been a complete answer to
the charge that the news had been
suppressed, and the reporters would
have been convicted of neglect of duty.
The Secretary replied that under the
peculiar phase the case had taken, he
forgot to call attention to the entry
on the day book.
The simple fact is that entry was
not on the day book on the Sth, and
| hence the news Of the pardon did not
go to the public, nor at any time since.
until the San Francisco Bulletin"
| through information in San Francisco,
| ascertained that a pardon had been
granted. AS it was some days after
the Sth before the entry was made as
of the Sth, as the Secretary states, the
reporters would, of course, not discover
it, as it is not customary to run back
ward with dates in that book for news
items. 1t is noteworthy also of the fact
that the entry was not made on the
Sth, that the usual four lines of space
left between entries, is in this case oc-
cupied in the main by the interpolated
item.
The Record Union" labors to treat
all departments of the State Govern
ment with perfect fairness, with all due
courtesy, and to make clean, truthful
reports, and to give to the public
promptly legitimate news of action by
public officials. It will not consent,
therefore, in this case to have the bur-
den Of failure to report the pardon of
Dave Smith put upon its shoulders. The
suppression, or whatever it may be
termed, was not the fault of the press,
but the act of the office in which a cor
rect record is supposed to be kept, and
this fact is undeniable.

new JERSEY FLOODS.
LEFT A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION
IN THEIR WAKE.
Barns Wrecked, Crops Ruined and
Railroad Traffic Impaired
Flood in Connecticut.

NEW YORK. July 29.-The floods
which did so much damage in New Jer-
sey yesterday have somewhat receded
to-day In their wake is trail of
wrecked barns, ruined crops, impaired
railroad tracks and all traces of a full
fiedged deluge.
At Elizabeth, which Jared worst of
all, the waters. which filled the streets
to depth in some places of eight feet,
began to ebb in the early morning. The
night had been one of anxiety The
city's electric light plant had been in
undated, the trolley cars stopped, and
almost all means of land transit to the
drier and higher surrounding country
had been cut off. The frightened in
habitants of Elizabeth imagined the
danger even greater than it was, and
unfounded rumors spread that the res
ervoir had burst.
The electric light company's plant,
which lights Elizabeth, Roselle, Gran
ford and Westfeld, was flooded, and all
through the night these places were
in complete darkness. The pumping
station of the Elizabethtown Water
Company had been rendered useless by
the flood. The Worthington Pump
Company sustained damage estimated
at $4,000.
Lumber firms on the banks of Sta
ten Island Sound lost much of their
stock. An approximate estimate of the
loss through the flood at Elizabeth will
not be obtainable for some little time,
but it will prove costly.
HEAVY RAINFALL IN NEW YORK.
SARATOGA On. ", July 29.-The
rainfall has been so heavy here for a
number Of days that great damage has
been done crops. Unless the weather
soon changes the result will be dis
astrous.
All the lakes and streams in Northern
New York are swollen to an unprece-
dented hight for this season of the
year.
FLOOD IN CONNECTICUT.
WATERBURY, Comm, July 20
Waterbury is again deluged, the storm
of last night having swollen the Maui
gatuck River to an almost unprece-
dented hight and caused the Mahaney
River to overflow.
The Naugatuck has overfowed it's
banks and the waters are now higher
than for years. The Mahaney Canal be-
came a torrent and it's waters have
carried away about fifty feet of the
track of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company, COM
pletely blocking traffic.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion Park is flooded. Great Brook is
still within it's confines, but Little
Brook is again on the rampage and
cellars in the city are flooded.

His Thumb Cut OFF.

While operating a f1y-saw in the cab
met shop at the railroad works John
Domingos had the misfortune to have
one of his thumbs cut off on Wednes-
day
Domingos would not have cared so
much for the thumb were it not that
it contained the evidence of his Prov
ess in the Mexican war of more than
fifty years ago, in the way of a bullet
fracture.
The injury is painful one, how
ever, and the veterans many friends
sympathize with him.

How oypsis. Came to he Called So

Gypsies were popularity supposed to be
of Egyptian origin, their name being,
in fact, a corruption of the word Egyp-
tians It is generally believed now,
however, that they came originally from
India, and the only point in dispute is
the date at which they left that country.
Some affirm that they were expelled by
Tamerlane when he conquered Hindu
stan in 1899, while other authorities
say that they left Asia for Europe in the
twelfth century. Either Of these theories
may be correct, though it was not until
the commencement Of the fifteenth con.
fury that they reached Europe in large
numbers. At meeting Of the Royal
Geographical society some years ago Sir
H. Rawlinson gave an account Of the
migration of the gypsies, tracing them
distinctly from the Indus through Per-
STA, Syria and Asia Minor to the Bos-
porus. Their dialect corresponds with
Hindoostanee, and in Aleppo they may
be conversed with in that Language
without difficulty.

How Marriage Of the Dead Is soiemnized.
In several quarters Of the globe this
strange custom prevails to this day.
There is a region in the Caucasus noun
tains where, should a young man or
woman die single, the mourning parent
seek out some neighbor who has sus-
tanned similar bereavement and me-
gotiations are entered into for matri-
monial alliance between tho deceased.
The amount of the dowry varies accord
ing to the good or bad qualities Of the
girl while alive, and father has been
known to give so many as 80 cows in
order to obtain an eligible husband for
his dead daughter. If one party to a
marriage contract dies before the union
has taken place, the ceremony is never
theless proceeded with. In China the
spirits Of all boys who die in infancy
are, in due course Of time, married to
spirits of girls who have been cut off at
the same early age. A similar farce IL
transacted with children who have lived
to be 10 or IA years of age Marriage Of
the dead is also practiced by the Nor
mons in Utah.

The chemical process by which the
green color is produced in the leaves Of
plants is almost entirely dependent up
on light The substance to which the
leaves owe their green color is termed
chlorophyll. 1t is similar to wax and
floats about in the cells Of the leaves in
the form of minute granules. Light is
indispensable for the formation of this
pigment, and in the absence Of light the
cells Of plants are unable to secrete on
form it
