Probably.Bltten by a Rattlesnale.

1t is supposed that the littleIdaughter of
@. f. Morgan was bitten by a rattlesnake
last week, although the snake was not seen
by anyone. The parts bitten were badly
swollen, but the attendants gave the child
whIskey to drink of freely, which counter
acted the effects of the poison and she is
all right now. The little girl said she heard
a strange noise about the time she was bit
ten.

BARRY-LEON FIGHT.
Declared a Draw at the End of the
Twentieth Round.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Jimmy Barry
and Casper Leon met at the LennoX
Athletic Club tonight for a twenty
round contest for the bantam cham
pionship of the world, and after fight
ing twenty rounds, which were pro-
ductive of most scientific work by boys,
the referee, Johnny White of this city,
called it a draw. There was little to
choose between the boxers at the fin
ish. Barry was a big favorite at to
l, but the money was lost on the re-
suit. Several bets were made at odds
on that Leon would not stay six rounds,
fifteen rounds and the limit were made
by some sanguine friends of the little
Chicago boxer. The New Workers who
snapped these up We're the only winners

Barry weighed 100 pounds and Leon
JOG. Johnny White of this city was
mutually agreed upon to referee the
bout.
The mill was lively from the begin
ming, Barry rushing the fighting, but
having no material advantage. In fact,
the exchanges were about evenly di-
vided, and no really telling blows We're
struck up to the thirteenth round.

Over One Hundred and Twenty
One Thousand Mustered In.

WASHINGTON. May 30.-Adjutant
General Corbin said to-day that III, 500
troops had been mustered into the vol
unteer army under the call for 10, 900
men, and that the remaining $500 men
were in State camps ready for the visit
of the mastering officers. He said that
all the States and Territories had filled
their quota so far as the recruiting of
the troops is concerned, and that while
three States We're apparently behind,
it was not their fault, but was due to
the inability of the mastering officers
to complete their work. The apparent
shortage is divided between the States
of Iowa, Mississippi and North Caro-
lima The troops in these States are in
camp, however. awaiting the action OF
the Government officers, and will be
mustered into the volunteer army in
a day or two.

General Corbin is now working out the
details of the second call for volunteers.

sary recruiting will absorb about o.
600 men, leaving about p, 900 to be or
ganized into additional regiments. 1t
is the purpose of the War Department
officials to recruit existing regiments
up to a maximum strength of 1,326 men
in twelve companies.
II is not expected to assemble the re-
cruits in State camps. AS fast as The
men are recruited they will be exam
ined and sent forward to join the regi-
ments to which they will be assigned
The new recruits will be assigned to
regiments of their own States. and, go
far as possible, the companies and regi-
ments which represent the sections Of
