H., Hay 20.—Tw# young man, Harry Gild den and Hike Broadbent, worko 1 together a« shoemakers in the shop of L Nuke & Co., in the stitching room of which lirm there also worked aappoeaesaing youujj lady. It was notinssble that whJn occasion offered, the two young bub would, at different times, slip down and hold sweet converse with her. She, Hldag both, and wishing to havj two strings to her bow, encouraged both, until the matter came to a climax. Bach porty wished the other to give up his pretensions to toe young lady's favor, but neither was willing, so, like the knights errant of old, they determined to settle the matter "vi et armis." Not wishing to slaughter each other, they did not order pistols and coffee for two, but contented themselvee with the weapons with which nature had providrd them. About noon, accompanied by a few friends, they started for a field on the banks of the Cocheca, which would furnish them with welter to wash off the gore that might be spilled. On divesting themselves of ail superfluous clothing, they proceeded to settle the dispute according to the laws of the prise ring. It is said both showed pluck, and considerable punishment was given and taken. Now, unfortunately for them, the city marshal la determined to break up all such works, and is looking for the contestants and their friends, wbo are keeping shady. Consequently the particulars of the contest, the number of rounds fought, wi(p received the mart punishment, or who is the lucky man wbo will bask in the smiles of the girl who caused all the trouble, is at present unknown, bat the matter will be ventilated in polioe court when full particulars will be given.  favor.

New Yonx, May. 80.—A gleam of red Mgbte through the air, a swirling, body midway between the big bridge and fee grew water, a heavy plash Ike a gunshot, and Robert Hmmet Odium, gasping almost dead, floated face downward in the East river. "Pull Up here, boy," he said, and the young man halted bin black horse. It was but the work of a moment for the athlete to bound lightly from the wagon to the roadway, and in another moment his head and shoulders showed above the big girder that runs six feet above and parallel to the roadway, from which hangs a lattice-work of wire ropes. Quickly he drew himself up and stood balancing himself, his right hand grasping one of the big guy ropes. A schooner was bearing down against the wind on the strong ebb tide, but Just as she neared the bridge she tacked and weflt about from right under Odium's feet, leaving a clear spaoe beneath. Then the crowds of foot passenger* on the bridge raised a shout as they saw the red-clad figure poised on the girder below them. The policemen on the roadway heard the cry and simultaneously rushed towards the man. But they were too late. With a mocking glance over his left sHbulder he lightly sprang off, holding his right hand high and straight above him. His hoad was bent back on his shoulders and his eyes were turned towards the skies. "There he goes!" yelled the crowd, and Henry E. Dixey touched the spring of his stopwatch. Two-thirds of the 125-foot drop to the whter Odium accomplished in a twinkling, his body as straight as a spear. Then his head bent backwani and his back curved. Spasrrodically his legs drew up. With a desperate-sweep downward of the right arm he vainly tried to light himself. In half a second the body struck the water with a splash that could he plainly heard 000 feet away. Odium's back was bent—his head down—like a bow, and although bis feet struck water first the concussion must have been awful. The time occupied by the descent was seconds. He sank out of sight, and the watchers held their breath, but in a lin.ment a gleam of red could be seen Just bensath the surface of tho water, and with a rtaning hurrah the people above and below cheered the daring swimmer. But he did not hear it His head drooped far forward, and his body was beat in the shape of a crescent. A rowboat had put off from the tug, but the tide carried it out of reach. The tug steamed near the floating body, and Boyton plunged head foremost tpward it, feaving removed only his co#t and vest, He brought the face above the water, but before the clumsy men in the rowboat could have the body aboard a schooner nearly ran down Boy ton and his burden. Bngmmu, May 80.—The political canning whioh ten days ago elected a mpubltcan representative in an overwhelmingly Democratic district re-elected Ge*. John A Logan to the United States s—a to. It was a rarpriae to everybody, evaflMi and his most confidential suppottsrs being happily disappointed at the sadden ending of the four months' contest. Precautions and intimidations were judioiously exercised. Ever since Senator Ruger came near tipping over the Republican plane by voting to make a quorum for the Democrats whsn only another neutral was needed to sleet Judge Tree, he, together with the house malcontents, Sittig and Trexter, have been kept cloeely under Republican surveillance. Trustworthy agents of Logan have oinwtantly shadowed these three saspeoted legislators, even insisting on sleeping with them. It was also broadly given out that bribery would be relentlessly punished, and between the watching and warning the Republican rebels were squeesed into the party Hoes. Despite the effort to exclude visitors from the floor of the. House, trrtrj foot of available spaoe was occupied, tt the galleries there was scarcely breathing room. The apposition fought desperately untH all the resources were exhausted, so desperately, in faot, that it was fully three hoars after he had secured the necessary IDS votes when Logan was reluctantly declared elected. At the outset the Demoerate declined to vote, preferring to await the tactics of Ruger, Sittig and Trexter. At Hockaway. Nkw York, Hay 20.—The first race at Rockaway was for polo ponies, half a mile on the flat. Wild Ton fint, Cedarhurst second, Tomboy third. Hutuala paid $10.08. The second race was a hunters' sweepstakes, half a mile. Sir Hugh first. Driftwood second, Loohinvar third. Hutu.; ■kui; paid $8.65. For Um past thro* days the mail bad been seeking an opportunity to make a leap from tbe span of the Bait river bridge, bat the Brooklyn police had been notified by Inapector Byrnes, and the officers on the bridge and approaches kept such close guard that Odium did not dare to make the attempt. Yesterday, however, he hit on a plan for evading tbe policemen and managed it so well he Jumped off the rail under the my eyes of ite guards, and before they well knew what had happened his breathless body in the eddying water below. Imgt Saturday Odium, who was a profenor of swimming in Washington, came to New York. He went to Paul Boy ton's "Ship" tavern in Twenty-ninth street and tokl the swimmer what he intended to do. Be so impressed Boyton that the latter offored to bet |1,000 even that Odium could accomplish the feat with safety. No one took the wager. The man's mad intention become known around town, and Inspector Byrnes took steps to prevent the attempt. Bince that time, in company with Boyton, Odium has crossed the bridge several times. After carefully surveying the structure he declared that he could ma'ie the jump without injury. Yesterday afternoon Odium sat in a little rocra in the "Ship" tavern, surrounded by a •roup of newly found friends fnd two or three companions who had journeyed with him fwtn Washington. H« was a tall, darkacmplegioned, sinewy young man, with broad shoulders and «toqt limbs. His black hair was oloee-oropped and a stubby black inu*tache covered his full, firm mouth. His koen gray eyes looked out over a largo Roman nose and a firm, square-cut ohin. Several friends, in chairs nearby, were remonstrating with Ollum. "Gentlemen, I am bound to do it," Odium replied. "I've oome here from Washington to make this jump; it, t« perfectly easy. AU lam afraid of is that the police will stop me Md people will ray it's a put-up job. Iferei* the way J DvUl go off," He stood erect on tip-toe, every muscle rig.d, his left hand on his thigh and his right arm raised straight above his head. "You sea," he explained, "I will reach the water Icjt first, quite straight, and there won't bo the least trouble about it." Towksbury's method of stealing the goodwas very ingenious. When any of the retailors with whom he wai acquainted bought goods at the store he would always double their order and send the goods to their store-1, where he would sell thun the extra goods he sent them for 50 per cent less than their real value. The officers, after arresting Tewksbury, ascertained that W. H. Farnbam, a retail boot and shoe dealer at 178 Hanover street, and James T. Baker, in the same business at 354 Hanovei street, had bought some of the stofen goods, and they were arrested on the charge of receiving stolen goods. The third race waa an open handicap of seven furlongs, over the fiat Shelby Barnes first, Sir Hugh second. Pope Leo third. Mutual pools paid $91.58. The fourth race was a handicap steeplechase of three miles. Jester first, Dundee second, Driftwood third. Mutual* paid $44.75.

Chicago, Hay 30.—"the case again Charles K. Mortimer, who was arrested on the charge of obtaining $100 from Isabella Angle, of New York, through false pretenses, was continued by Justice Lyons to the 38-1 inst Mortimer, in his capacity as advertising agent for H»s Sporting and Theatrical Journal, became acquainted with John Fielding, of John and Maggie Fielding, sketch artists. It is charged that flfiO forwarded by Miss Angle to Mr. Fielding ia oars of Mr. Mortimer was pocketed by the latter. "Yank" Adams, proprietor of The Sporting Journal, alleges that Mortimer's right name is Louis Qraner. "According to his own story," said Mr. Adams to-day, "he has been a priest, a chief «f a band of brigands, a member of the Maryland legislature, an actor and goodnsas knows what not. For being concerned in revolutionary schemes in the South American states he alleges he was under sentence of death twice, escaping by assuming various disguises. Once, he saya, ha was shipwrecked 100 miles from the Brazilian coast and swam ashore, where the natives made him a chief. He claims to have a mysterious trunk containing evidences of his extraordinary career, which has been coming from New York for about six months past." Qraner is a Hebrew, and speaks six Ianguagsa.

Lowell and Phelps, tin old and new United States ministers, readied Padding ton station on their way to Windsor castle to have an audience with the qmeen a number of carriages, containing the members of the cabinet, drove up to the station, the secretarial having been summoned to the castle te attend a special session of the privy oounclL The two parties met on the platform, and Mr. Lowell formally introduced his successor to each of the secretaries exoept Lord Oranville, to whom lie had been presented last Saturday.

The Damoerata felt ttftU this waa their opportunity and called for the abaenteea.

After a long suspense the limp, death-like mass was pulled Into the small boat and was thence taken on board the tug. The upper part of Odium's back and right thigh was torn, black and bleeding, and the whole left side of the back was a mass of black and b}u(e flesh. His eyes were closed, and his (pad lolled about as if his nook were rubber. The rod swimming shirt was slit up the back as if lipped with a keen knife. Faddy Ryan »nH William Muldoon lifted the limp body and carried it inside to the oook's galley. It was placed on the bare floor, and at once the men began to 3lap hi ; hands, chafe his temples and pour brandy between the parted blue lips. The tug put about and ran down the harljqr low Governor's island »'to a qrowd at the wharf," Cant, Boyton said, Willing hands brought mattresses and blankets to support the braised mass of flesh, and the efforts at resuscitation were unremitting. When, after ten minutes of hard work, Jens Dunn poked his head out of the door and said, "He has winked his eyes," a mighty cheer went up Mr. H. B. Robertson, ol Washington, who had come on to see the performance, worked on one side of the almost inanimate body and Paddy Ryan on the other.

Boston, May SO.—A Boston merchant writing anonymously to The Record concerning the 190,000 of worthless stocks held by Wendell Phillips, s«ys: "In the list of mining stocks published 1 recognised two, and I know how he oame by them. He wu not 'tempted by the eloquence of some gifted broker,' nor were they accepted as collateral for loans as has been surmised, but they were bought outright—of a poor men who had once a oom petency, and who thought he saw in these mining enterprises an opportunity to regain his lost fortune. Mr. Phillips desired to help htm, and to that —d he was willing to take the stock and risk his money. I nave no doubt that most, if not all, of Mr. Phillips' ventures in this direction originated in a «imiw motive." Downstairs a scoro or so of actors, sporting lien and mcn-about-town were gathered, ienry E. Dixey and Harry Lacy, Wrestler Jiuldoon, Jore.

Boston, May 30.—A letter received in this city from Capt Pray, of the missionary steamer Morning Star, gives a graphic acoount of the terrible weather which the steamer encountered in the Atlantic ocean. Whan two days out from this port • terrible gale came ap. A close reefed fore topsail was the only sail that could be used, and the steamer wag rim before the gale. Heavy seas continually boarded her, filling the vessel with water and drenching everything on board.
