INTELLECTUAL BATTLE. Brum»pobt, Conn., Dec. 8L—The street* were filled last night with the largest crowd of people that erer assembled in the city on an evening, the occasion being a holiday illumination of the principal business thoroughfares. Arabs* have been erected over the streets at intervals of fifty feet, and these ware illuminated with colored fires and gas Jets, while a line of Chinese lanterns over a mile in length hangover the curbstone and from one arch to another along the streets. The idea originated with Jesse Sands a week ago, and everybody subscribed to the fund to make the week one of display. Governor Lounsbury arrived on the evening train, and was reoeived by the mayor and banqueted at the Sterling. After the banquet the guests took carriages, the governor's being drawn by six white horses. As the procession moved from the Sterling, fireworks were sent up from every business houss along the line, and red fire burned at all offloe windows on upper stories of the principal buildings. The Connecticut bank building, ten stories high, was one blase of light, and the red fire on its roof could be seen in all directions for twenty-five miles. Illuminated wagons were decorated appropriately to the holiday fes;ival, and grotesque performances upon them by some of Barn urn's acrobats enter tained the thousands of spectators along the sidewalks.

London, Dec 21.—The Duke of Norfolk, who went to Rome to convey to the pope the congratulations of Queen Victoria on hi? jubilee, has left that city, ourtailiug bis visit, so The Paris Gatilois asserts, because of tbe absolute refusal of the pope to interfere further in the relations between tbe Irish clergy and the peoplei Mgr. Rampolia, tbe papal secretary, the paper says, informed the duke that the pope had already used lii- ii-flnence with the clergy, but could not u*k tuo priests to cease to be patriots without running the risk of causing a rebellion of a section of the clergy and the loss of tbe hold of the church on the people. Niw Yobk. Dee. 81. —Three feeble and suffering survivors out of a crew of five hearty men who sailed the schooner D. and B. Keliey out of Norfolk harbor last Friday were brought into port yesterday by the Norwegian steamer Oden, Capt. Define, from Port de Pais. Two of the survivors were colored men—John W. Coleman and Frank Taylor. Their legs were badly swollen, and they had nut yet sufficiently recovered from the effects of their trying experience to be on their feet. The third survivor was the mate, David B. Campbell, who, although his bands were badly frostbitten, was about last evening when the Oden hauled into the Erie basin, in South Brooklyn. Mr. Campbell, after making arrangements for the removal of Coleman and Taylor to the Marina hospital, told the tragic story of the loss of the schooner. The D. and E. Keliey had a cargo of lumber on board for New Haven. Capt. W. C. Taylor, an experienced skipper from Providence, wss in command. On Saturday afternoon, when the vessel was twelve miles east of Phoenix Island, a heavy squall cams up, and Capt. Taylor headed for the Delaware Breakwater. Soon afterward the wind shifted ahead, and in order to avoid going ashore it was necessary to put about and head out to sea. At 0 o'clock in the evening, during a terrific snow squall, the deck load shifted and the schooner was thrown on her starboard beam ends. The crew sprang into the port main chains, where ther clung for life, while the vessel drifted through the blinding snow toward the shore, where she struck at 11 o'clock. A sea then washed over the port side, where the crew clung. The steward, a young colored man who bad shipped at Norfolk, relaxed bis hold and was swept away. For an instant he was seen struggling, then a flurry of snow swept over him, and when the wild whirl had passed away he had disappeared. Soon afterwaed the deck load went overboard. carrying with it the mainmast. After being relieved of this load the schooner slowly righted, and at midnight the four •survivors crawled on to the quarter deck. The cabin had been swept away and the forward part of the vessel was oompletely under water. At 4 o'clock in the morning the wind changed to westward and the wreck floated off and drifted out to sea.

The board interrupted counsel for Weston several times because of the wide latitude h took In arguing the case, and Its remark* gave him very little encouragement to hopf for a favorable decision. Outside the reasons indicated nothing was submitted in the interest of a rehearing of the prisoner's case. j, any __  which prostrated him in Washington in 1886, nor is any expected by hit physician.

His condition, though serious, owing to the physical weakness, is not at pre lent alarming.

D. Lyman, vice-president of the American Surety company of New York, praying for the ratification of the convention and proposing an extradition treaty between this country and Great Britain, signed in London, June 25, 1880, extending the extradition law to casea of embezzlement, etc. Mr. Ciancy, M. P., speaking at a league meeting in Dublin referred to the reports that the governmwt intended to try to soothe the Irish by granting them a Catholic university instead of home rule, and said that the Irish spurned such bribes, and that no mess of pottnge could ever induce them to abandrn !Lc.i birthright as a nation.

Gone Back to CoaL THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. Ricliard K. Fox Will Leave the Stakes for a Fight with Sullivan. The remarkable part of the memorial, which was presented by Senator Hiscook. was in the exhibit which aocompanled the memorial. Tbe exhibit was, the memorialist said, a partial list of embesslements of persons who hq0 fled to Canada. The offenses, it says, were all committed sinoe tbe proposed convention was signed, and most of them within tbe past year. The exhibit fives a list of fifty-three embesslements and tha amounts in each case. Tbe largest embanlement noted is that of Bartholomew, the insurance man of Hartford, for $1,000,- 000, and the aggregate embezzlements foot up the sum of $3,840,570. Mr. Call Mid that the senator from Vermont Cru not more sincere than correct in his statement that Mr. Call had stood behind the Mormon hierarchy. He had stood behind human rights when the senator, with exquisite cruelty, sought to punish innocent women and children in Utah by legislation wblch the speaker regarded as unconstitutional, unfeeling and inhuman. The senator hsis never heard him advocate corrupt judicial tribunals, or packed Juries, or prostitution of the courts of justice. He understood by the statements of reliable citisens— Republicans and Democrats—that not more than 5 per cent of the population of Utah favored polygamy, and that the young people of the territory were unanimously oppoeed to It, and submitted conscientiously to the legislation of congress. The objections of the senator from Vermont were vain and idip, and unworthy of that senator. They were not reasonable as a matter of logic, and were not true as a matter of fact. Mr. Stewart was oppoeed to printing the memorial in The Record, as it might raise falsa hopes in Utah as being an expression of o[tfuion that its admission as a state was possible at present She was governed by a close corporation, a hierarchy. He did not believe there was suoh a thing as freedom in Utah. The various modes which the Mormons had of ridding themselves of Geutiles were cruel, nnhssrd of, unreasonable. He did not want to see Utah admitted with the week promise that she would abolish polygamy, without any evidence that she would abolish the organisation which governed Mormons with a rod of iron, and exoluded other citisens living among thera. New York, Dec. 21.—The most self-satisfied man in New York to-day was undoubtedly Richard K. Fox. He was the backer of Jake Kilrain against the English champion.

He had no bad habits and was trusted implicitly by the firm, but bis household expenses have been heavy on account of the long sickness of his wife. For twelve or fourteen years she has been a confirmed Invalid and he has watched her with tender devotion for jean. Three or four weeks ago an erasure was noticed on one of Arnold's books.

"I am thirsty and hungry I Have some one take me to a hotel I" Then h« reached out his hands and groped for some one to lead him. The mate finally induced him to sit down on the deck. He made a few incoherent remarks and then sank back, and his sense of suffering gave way to tbe peaceful calm of death. A moment later tbe body of the poor old captain was washed overboard. At 3 o'clock the next afternoon the survivors were picked up by the Oden, on board of which they were treated with every kindness. Mr. Fox has not yet heard from Mr. Atkinson, the referee, and could not say what steps would be taken in the future. When Kllrain returns home Mr. Fox will give him a grand reception. He intends to leave tbe stakes stand and get up a fight with Sullivan. He will double them if necessary.

London, Dec. 31.—It is generally conceded in sporting circles that Jake Kilrain won the with Smith, and that the American is the better man. It is looked upon also in tbe light of a moral victory as prize fights go. They are brutal affairs at best, but Tueeday's fight seemed to demonstrate the fact that-such combats could be more closely confined to the realms of science than is usually the case. The Kilrain-Smith affair was, perhaps, tbe best and most gentlemanly conducted fight of modern times. All sections of English society unite in applauding the American champion for his prowess, his science and his gentlemanly bearing. 'That was the last time he was seen alive. Yesterday in a small closet the body of Squires was found.hanging by a rope from a clothes" hook. It was cold and stiff. Decomposition bad already set in, and it was evident that the man hanged himself either late Sunday night or early Monday morning. The people in chargo of the home refused to give any information in relation to the suicide. Dr. Simpson told a reporter that Squires was a quiet man, who was not looked upon as much of an Invalid.
