Duty at Charleston.
Charleston. S. c., April Nv. D.
Crum took charge Of the custom house
yesterday as collector Of the port. There
was no incident of interest in connec-
ton with his assuming Office except the
immediate tender of his resignation by
the chief inspector Of customs, which
had been placed in the hands Of the
deputy collector, to take effect on the
colored officials entrance to authority.
There has been some talk here Of pos
sible application to courts for restrain
ing order against Crum's exercise of the
duties Of Office alleging that the presi-
dent may not fill vacancies except with
the advice and consent Of the senate,
where the senate has had opportunity
to pass on nominations, as was the case
with the CTum appointment.
1t is understood that the matter has
been brought to the notice of the mayor
and it is said he has referred it to the
corporation council for consideration
and report, but it is not thought that
anything will be done about it.

his victory over Terry McGovern. of

Thanksgiving, was no fluke, by de-

after fight in which there was not

nearly every round Corbett, fighting

opportunity to send home his blows.
had a shade the better of the argu-
ment, and when finally in the 18th
round he got the Brooklyn boy fairly
going he never let up on him until
Terry sank to the floor a badly de-
feated man. Corbett put McGOvern
down in the first round for a count
Of seven, and repeated 1t in the sec
ond. There was some question as to
whether or not McGovern was down at
the count of 10. and for a few minutes
it looked as if there would be a free
for all fight.
McGovern tried to get up. tried hard,
and was on his feet an instant after the
timekeeper counted him out. George
Harding, the club timekeeper. who
counted McGovern out, stated after the
fight that the blows that knocked Nc
Govern out were left and right swings
on the jaw and a right uppercut on the
chin. Harding said McGovern was in
a dazed condition; that when he had
counted nine he motioned him to get
up, but McGovern was too confused to
notice and was unable to rise. At the
count of ten McGovern started to rise,
but it was to late. and he therefore
awarded the fight to Young Corbett. "
