from New York that he has pvsI,i! u for
felt of $500 with the sporting editor of a
New York paper for fight with Jim JEFF

no one in the East has any doubt he will
succeed in doing. If Delaney lets JEFF
fries go up against Fitzsimmons just yet
however, there will be some surprise, as
should Jeffries win there will be no big
one left to fight, though of course Jeffries
would have to accept all challenges. JEFF

The fight will probably take place in

ABBETT'S QUEER CLAIM
DEMANDS PAY FOR MEDICAL ATTEN-
TION TO HIS FATHER.
Telegraph COmpany's Error Causes a
Damage Suit-Receiver Demand
ed for Hotel.

The claim of DR.. f. M. Albeit, Virginia.
avenue physician, for medical services al
legged to have been rendered his father, the
late Oliver H. P. Albeit was tried in the
Cirucit Court yesterday by Judge Allen and
jury. Mr.. Albeit died last January, leav-
ing an estate valued at about 81 500 to his
wife and young son and daughter DR..
Albeit, after his fathers death, put in
claim for $500 against the estate asserting
that his services as physician at his fathers
bedside were worth this amount. The heirs
to the estate are resisting the claim. 1t is
asserted that DR.. Albeit often called on
his father, but did not render the services
set out in his claim. One of the witnesses
testified that Dr. Albeit on the day before
his fathers death consulted a spiritualistic
medium who placed herself in communica-
ton with the spirit of white Hawk" an
Indian chief. The spirit directed that wilted
cabbage leaves be applied to the sick man,
which would save his life. The witness said
that DIR. Albeit procured the leaves and ap-
piled them, but they failed to cure the
patient.

Splendid Growing Weather Promises
Big Harvests.

Very favorable weather for growing crops
and for farm work prevailed during the past
week; the nights were cool the latter part
of the week, especially in the northern por-
ton, but, in general, warm and sunny
weather continued. The rains were local
and light, except near the Ohio river and
near the western border of the State, where
heavy rains fell. The wheat harvest has
commenced in the southern portion, and it
will soon begin in the more northern por-
tions of the State, as the wheat is ripening
rapidly everywhere; correspondents agree
that the yield will be very good. both in
quality and quantity; in some counties the
crop is the best for years. Oats are head
ing low, but the yield promises to be very
good Corn is growing rapidly and is in
