She was promptly rescued by Sergeant

young man close at hand proceeded 10
take her into the boathouse temporarily.
But before he could reach the bosthouse
door. Mr.. Mclaughlin came along and in
sisted that he be permitted To take care
of the young woman.
AUTHORITIES WERE ACTIVE.
Sergeant Clark naturally declined, stat
ing that the authorities should and would
see that the young woman was properly
cared for.
Then came an interchange OF words and
Superintendent of Parks Fits arrived on
the scene. Every assurance was given
by him that the seif-styled Miss Smith
would receive every consideration and be
temporarily provided with necessary gar
mcnts to replace -those wet and worn by
her.
But Mr.. Mclaughlin was obdurate. He
finally yielded. admitting that the young
woman was his wife's sister ana with a
young man named Dunleavy. all started

BIG FIGHT LAST NIGHT.
Fitzsimmons Knocked Out In Eighth
Round

San Francisco, CAL, July 26.-Jeffries
knocked out Fitzslmmons last night in
the eighth round of what was to have been
a twenty round fight. BY this victory
Jeffries retains the championship of the
world. Ten thousand spectators we're
present. The men today will probably
divide between them the forty thousand
dollars. The report circulated today and
last night by some of the newspapers that
the fight was a fake is absurd. 1t was a
desperate battle and won and lost on Its
merits. Both men are satisfied. Fitzsim.
mons said today: II fought the best l
could; the best man won and will fight
no more"
Jeffries says: "Fltzsmmons gave me
the fiercest fight ever had. He is the
most dangerous man alive. l consider
myself lucky to have won when | did"
An examination made by the surgeon
disclosed the fact that Jeffries, nose is
broken. Several small bones are badly
shattered and his face is bruised up and
cut up and the big boilermaker shows to-
day many marks of his desperate battle
to retain the title. Fitzsimmons has much
pain in his sides and his chest is bruised
and discolored and swollen so that he
breathes with pain. 1t will be some time
before he RECEIVERS from the effects of the
battle. This is further evidence that the
fake story is.absurd.

MORE RAIN IN TEXAS.
CrippIes Railroads in Southern and Cen
traI Portions.

Dallas, Texas, July 29.-Although the
food situation in the northwestern sec
ton of this state, which has been de-
luged bv recent rains, is improved, adj
ditional heavy rains have fallen in the
southern and central portions Of the state,
which have crippled railway traffic and
caused considerable damage to Other
property. From Baird, west OF tue Texas
and Pacific, the weather is clear, but from
the coast to Texarkana, west to Baird and
south to and beyond San Antonio, there
were frequent downpours today These
rains have materially softened the road
beds and in places the water threatens to
overflow the tracks.
At Matin, on the Texas Central branch,
the rain has fallen in torrents and the
situation is TIN hieatening.
Reports from the south say the entire
San Antonia and Arkansas pass system
is tied up.
On the Texas and Pacific trains are run
ming to Big Springs from the east, and to
Mortia from the west. The water is re.
ceding very slowly. The crews are work
ing from the east and west, and it is ex'
pected trains will be running through on
this road in the next two or three days.
AS a result Of the heavy rains at Austin
and that section the International and
Great Northern is badly crippled. 1t is
reported that the Brazos has overfowed
and that much damage is being done tc
crops.

RICHMOND LETTER
Senator Carter Glass, Auditor Marye
And The understanding Clause.

Mr. Editor:-A good illustration of thu
Righteousness of the socalled "Under
standing Clause" under the new Constitu
ton was had here today. The Constitu
ton provides that the number of officers
and employees of the general assembly
and their compensation shall be fixed by
general law and that the clerk of House
of Delegates and the clerke of Senate shall
continue as provided under the old law
till Jan. 1st, 1902. Two of the Committee
clerks called my attention to the fact that
it was not quite clear to them whether oil
not they would receive any compensation
for their services at all as the law then
stood. In order to bring the matter to
the attention of the Senate | offered the
following joint resolution: Resolved by the
Senate, the House of Delegates concurring,
that the number of officers and employees
of the General Assembly and their COM
pensation be and remain the same as fixed
by the old law till January lst, 1908. "
Thereupon the Hon. Carter Glass, the
author of the new suffrage plan, arose and
said he desired to call the attention of the
Senator from Tazewell to two things; first,
that the officers and. employees Of the
General Assembly and their compensation
are fixed by statute; secondly, the schedule
of the new constitution provides that all
statutes remain in force till repealed.
Therefore it was perfectly clear that the
resolution was unnecessary. To this | re-
piled that if Auditor Marye would tell the
bows the same thing that the Senator from
Lynchburg has | will not press my re-
solution; but unfortunately the Senator's
assurance would not be taken as the
money is handled by the auditor. My
resolution was, at my request, referred to
committee on Finance and Banks. In
order to bring the matter to test a war
rant was issued on the auditor in favor of
the Sergeant at Arms for one weeks pay.
On presenting same the Auditor not only
refused payment, but further said he
would not pay the members of the
General Assembly. This decision threw
a bomb into the camp, and a bill was
speedily introduced to settle the question.
Now, Mr. Editor, l have detailed this
circumstance to show you that Senator
Glass, who is one of the brightest men,
bers in the Convention, did not under
stand the creature of his own hands, or
that the Auditor, who is one of best post
ed men in the State, did not understand.
Now, won't it be a sight to see the regis
trars administering understandingclause to
applicants for registrationY
Yours truly,
J. n. Harman.

Mandamus Proceeding.

On the 18th of July, 1902, the town oi

jackson petition for writ of mandamus
to compel the Board of Health of Taze'

and Sam Childress, who we're victims Of

L. Sexton appeared before Judge Jackson
as counsel for the town of Pocahontas and
Barnes Gillespie, Commemorative Attor'
ney, represented the County Board OF
Health. The petition was demurred to-
but on the 25th inst. the demurrer was
overruled, and leave was given counsel fol
the BJArd of Health to file an answer and
take Issue on the petition, the order re-
quiring the answer o be filed by the Isl
day of August, 1902.
The county authorities deny that they
have any authority to take charge Of the
sick in the town of Pocahontas, as 1t is a
regularly chartered municipal corporation,
and as such is required to perform the ser
vice it is trying to fS upon the county.
