The fight grew out of an altorcation between the two men at a dance the night before, when arrangements were at once made for a meeting on the banks of the bayou in the morning. The two men faced one another at daybreak in the presence of fully fifty men, friends of both the combatants who had come to witness the light.

The flre department was stationed on the other Bide of the stream, and prevented flying timbers from setting flre to the buildings there. Only a few dwellings were destroyed. scrlptlon of the land. Liverpool, Aug. 6.—la the Maybrick trial Professor MacNamara testified that Maybrick's death was due to gastro-interitis and not to arsenic. Professor Paul, toxicological examiner of Victoria university, deposed that it would take months to eliminate arsenic from the system if it were taken more than twice, and Maybrick's symptoms, he said, were in accord with gastro-interitis. A druggist testified that ladies often purchased fly paper for use as a cosmetic, and a hair dresser testified to the frequent use of arsenic for the complexion. Standing Rock Aobncy, N. D.,~ Aug. 6.— The most important work in the history of Dakota and one of the most significant victories of the government over the ignorance and prejudices of the Indians has been accomplished. The requisite number of signatures for the opening of the great Sioux reservation have at last been secured. The commissioners are rejoiced over their success and justly proud of their work. An attempt to interview them was futile, as they have been kept steadily at the tables where the Indians were signing. The men were placed in position with their Jacks to each other and a considerable distance apart. At the signal both turned and advanced rapidly, firing as they approached one another, and never stopping until both combatants lay prostrate upon the ground. Ducate had been struck in the stomach with seven buckshot, making a wound from which he cannot recover, while Armour's right knee had been shattered by a rifle ball. Both men were taken to their hdmes by their The American schooner Vidette, seized at Canso, Saturday, for a customs violation, after being detained a short time, was released.

There was a riot at the Alice mines when thirty of the strikers broke open the doors of houses occupied by workmen and compelled the inmates to flee. Some of the men and women were seriously hurt. They were told that if they returned to work again whilo the Btrike was on they would be severely dealt with. to Preserve Order, Chief Gall Chances Front. A BALKY HORSE'S FAULT. The prisoner read a statement setting forth that she had bought fly papers for use as cosmetics for many years. She had used a cosmetic containing arsenic, which Dr. Griggs, of Brooklyn, prescribed. She had lost the prescription, and wishing to make a substitute for the formula she soaked fly papers and elder flower in lavender water and covered it with a plate and a towel to exclude the air. The sensation of the morning council was the signing by Chief Gall, who was the field general of the Indians during the memorable Custer campaign, and who until the past few days has been bitterly opposed to the Gall made no speech, as it was expected he would, when he signed; but with his faithful followers around him, and in the presence of those whom for years he had influenced against giving up the lands, he marched silently to the roll, touched the pen, and amid the applause of the Sitting Bull band it was announced that Gall had signed. This settled it. The Biackfeet and Upper and Lower Yanktonnais followed Gall and signed with a rapidity and eagerness that proved the wonderful influence of this powerful chief. During all of the day the Indians have been signing, and at last the 11,000,000 acres of land to which • the whites have been looking longingly for so many years are theirs. Tiiree People Hacked Off an Embankment and Drowned. Herman Carman, the wealthy German who fired one bullet into his brain a week ago Sunday at Chicago, and another one Tuesday, is dead. Pittsburg, Aug. 6.—At 1 o'clock a. m., a wagon loaded with dirt was backed over a twenty-five foot embankment into the Monongaht la river at the foot of South Thirteenth street. Harry Simmons, aged 23, was driving the horse. Eddie Deploree, agod 9, and a boy of 10, unidentified, were drowned. Several other children were on the wagon, but escaped. The steamer Athos, from Hayti, reports that up to July 37 Port-au-Princj still held out against Hippolyte's bombardment. THE "BLACK DIAMOND" SEIZURE. The sheriff of Uniontown has been notified aud will order deputies on duty, but it may become necessary to call out the militia. The works of J. W. Moore & Co. and J. M. Schoonmaker & Co. are the only large plants in the Connellsville region that are working. The strike leaders expect that the men now working will join the strike soon. The number of men now idle exceeds II,COO, which is a much larger number than engaged in the strike of 1880. The operators have little or nothing to say. Mass meetings are being held at all the places where men are at work. The business district was located on a strip five squares wide and seven squares long. The buildings were of stone and brick, and included eight banks, five hotels, the opera house and many wholesale establishments doing a business of $.500,010 each. The old paper mill at Mill River, Mass., leased by A. F. Hind, of New York, was burned. Loss, (18,000.

He complained that he was very sick and muoli depressed, and implored me to give him a powder which I earlier in the day had declined to administer. I was overwrought, terribly anxious and miserably unhappy. His distress unnerved me, and as he said the powder was harmless and that I could put it in his food, I consented and mixed it in the meat juice. Mr". Maybrick then fell asleep, and appeared to be botter when h D awoke. London', Aug. G.—Tho Times, of this morning, commeating upon the receot seizure of the British sealing schooner "Black Di&rtonjt" in Behring eea, joins the Canadian press in denouncing tho action of the U. 8. revenue rutter "Rush" as a high-handed proceeding and contrary to international law. England. The horse balked near the edge of the dump. The driver tried to uf£e the animal forward, but instead backed the wagon over the embankment. Simmons rushed into the river and endeavoring to save the boys, but his efforts were unavailing and resulted in his own death. It is said that a secret agreement had been made between the sugar trust and the outside refiners, whereby tho latter will refine 80 per cent, of the total output. Hitherto, it is understood, tho trust has tacitly consented to an output of 25 per cent, by the outsiders, but the recent increase in the demand for sugar has encouragod the independent refiners to demand more. Mr. Spreckels is said to have negotiated the agreement. His new factory opens Oct. 15.

The burned district includes all that {-art of the city from the Northern Pacific railway to the river and from Lincoln to Washington streets. Several persons aro known to have |ieriDhed and several more were injured by leaping from windows. Charles Davis, of Chicago, a guest at the Arlington, was awakened by flames burstiug through the door of his room on the third floor. Ue jumped from the window, was shockingly mangled and died in a few m.nutes. A woman whose name is unknown leaped from the second story of the Pacific hotel and was killed. Tho fire spread with buch astonishing rapidity that it is believed many were shut off from escape before they were even aware of their danger. A dozen large buidmgs were blown up with giant powder by the orders of the mayor, but even this proved futile. Nearly the entire Pacific fleet of the Briiiih Navy, consisting of soren warships and two torpedo boats, have sailrd for tho scene of the seizure, and five more war vessels have been ordered to reinforce them. ADRIFT ON THE OCEAN. The Thrilling Experience of the Victoria's Sitting Bull Talks Scornfully. Crew—Without Food or Drink. Eastport, Me., Aug. 8.—The Spanish bark Victoria, which left Havana on July 15 for St. John, N. B., with a cargo of sugar, struck on Murr Ledges, near Grand Manan, during a dense fog Thursday night and sank immediately. The crew of fourteen men and the captain took to the boats, with nothing but the clothes which they wore and without compass, food or drink. 2,000 Italians Meet and Protest* Sitting Bull, when asked what he believed the effect of opening the reservation on the Indians would be, exolaimed: "Don't talk to me about Indians. There ore no Indians left except those in my band of Uncapapas. They are all dead, and those still wearing the clothes of warriors are only squaws. I am sorry for my followers who have been defeated and their land taken from them." She Confessed and Was Forgiven. New York, Aug. 6.—About 2,000 Italian residents held a mass meeting to denounce the boycott which a certain labor organization has placed upon stores in front of which are allowed to keep fruit stands. The boycott grew out of the murder of an Irish lad named Barrett by two Italian fruit dealers some time ago. Barrett was drunk and amused himself by pilfering fruit. The Italians attacked and killed him. At the meeting all classes of Italian cit'zena were represented, including bankers, editors, lawyers, merchants, etc. Resolutions were adopted declaring it unjust to condemn all members of a race for the fault of a few, denouncing the boycott as cowardly and illegal, denying the assertion that Italians were always ready to use the knife, quoting statistics to show that Italians committed no more than thtir proportion of crime and appointing a committee to lay the matter before the legal authorities. It was declared in the speeches made at the matins that the Irish were inclined to bring about a race antagonism between themselves and Italians. Sullivan 111 Mlffeinslppi, "I was not anxious to administer any more and placed the meat juice on the wash stand, where it remained till Michael Maybrick took possession. The day before his death I fully confessed and received his forgiveness for the fearful wrong I had done him." The concluding part of Mrs. Maybrick's statement created a profound sensation in court. The evidence was ended with the prisoner's statement. The president accepted the resignation of Stephen A. Walker, United .States district attorney for the Southern district of New York, to take effect when his successor is appointed.Fur vis, Miss., Aug. 6.—Gov. Lowry, accompanied by Attorney General Miller, reached here this morning, to attend the hearing of Sullivan before a Marion county justice of the peace. The Boston slugger's trip to the scene of his fistic triumph was one continued oration and !.e was given an enthusiastic reception upon his arrival. The friends of Mr. Sulliv»u claim that the effect of decision is to establish the f et, that final jurudiction in all the cases arising from ihe prom .fight is vested in the Justice of the Peace, wlio claims his right to dispose of them without waiting for tho Grand Jury to meet. TliW District Attorney, it is believed, however,  seek to have 8ullivan and all others bound over to await the action of the Grand Jury. Patent Commissioner Mitchell has refused to grant an application for a trade mark for a medical compound bearing name ' 'Red Cross," On the ground that the legend is the name of the noted international society which uses it on its medicines, tents, etc. Attornoy General Miller has gone to Indianapolis to be gone two weeks. They drifted about until Saturday, when they landed on Wolf Island, whence they rowed to Eastport One of the crew had a leg broken. The party has gone on to St. John. Why Chief Gall Signed. Chief Gall has very jealously guarded what he believed to be the interests of his tribe, and looked with disfavor and suspicion on every effort to obtain their lands. "I have given my consent," he said. "My Indians have signed because I told them to after learning that the government could take our lands for nothing if it wanted to. The whites have now got our lands, and I hope they will ,be satisfied and let us live in peace in future." One result of the Maybrick murder trial in Liverpool is a removal of the agitation rife here some years ago in favor of allowing prisoners to testify in their own behalf. It is a little remarkable that though the necessity for this reform in the law of evidence is all but universally admitted, and in point of fact has been admitted for years, no action was possible. This is due to the political features of the question. Whenever a bill is introduced with this reform in view the Irish members promptly move the extension of the principle to Ireland, and as this is always refused they not only vote against the measure, but obstruct it. The Irish members are determined that until England is willing to allow Irish political prisoners to testify in their own behalf in Ireland, England must be content with the clumsy and antiquated rules of evidence she now applies. But the present agitation looks formidable, and it is not at all improbable that public opinion may compel the government to adopt more rational methods in England, even at the cost of like justice to Ireland. One Kflfeot ol the Trial. The Northern Pacific Lost SI,000,000. Postmaster Paul's Resignation Accepted The Northern Pacific railroad is probably the heaviest loser, the passenger depot and magnificent new freight warehouse being destroyed.

Sih—Your letter of July' 29 tendering your resignation of the office of postmaster at Milwaukee, Wis., has been received. Before its receipt the civil service commission had submitted a report of an examination of your office, upon which t should have taken action before this but for your request for delay in order that you might submit a statement in your own behalf. After the examination by the civil service commission a postofflce inspector was sent to examine your office, and his report has also been submitted to me. Upon these reports your removal from office has been determined upon, but as, pending action upon them, you have offered your resignation, I will accept it, to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of a successor, who will bo desiguated as soon as possible. Capt. James H. Rigby, commander of the famous "Rigby's battery" in the late war, dropped dead from heart disease at Baltimore. He was aged 55 years. The Indians all along doubted that the -.government had the power to take their lands without paying them what thoy aslteJ, and not until John Qrass became satisfied of this point by consultation with lawyers in Bismarck did he consent to accept the treaty. Hundreds of settlers have been camped on the eastern bank of the Missouri during the past two months awaiting the success of the •commission. Although for several wieks they were very despondent they are now jubilant, and they are receiving telegrams from friends all over the country giving notice of probable re enforcements. It is.predicted that the rush to the reservation will be greater than the Oklahoma siampede, as the land is of much better quality and the prospects for prosperity brighter. The Pool Rooms Deserted In New York. New York, Aug. 6.—The pool rooms in the city are all deserted to-day, the Monmoth Racing Association having deciied that all tel graph communication between its track at Long Branch and the outside world tliall ba cut off from to dsy on.

Professor Miller has found traces of arsenic in the stomach of David Ramsey, the Elmira printer, supposed to have been poisoned by his wife, uow Mrs. Isaac Artz. The Cotton Mill Trust Ridiculed, Faix River, Mass., Aug. 0.—The schemc to buy up the cotton miils of this city and of the country as well is looked upon by mill men here as alisurd. "A syndicate could gain nothing by purchasing the controlling interest in cotton mills in the country, even if it weie practicable," said a well known manufacturer. "The only possible object a trust of this kind could have in view would be to corner the market on cloth. As soon as that was done the printers w ould build their own mills, or if the syndicate forced prices high enough English manufacturers would come in and flood the country with goods. The idea is a ridiculous one." It is understood that but little insurance was carried by property owners. Among the chief losers are the following: Holley, Mason, Marks & Co., wholesale hardware, $125,000; Great Eastern Wholesale Dry Goods bouse, $100,000; White house, dry goods, $80,000; Lowenburg Bros., $100,000; Benham & Griffith, wholesale grocars, $40,000; Mason, Smith & Co., grocers, $40,000; Pacific hotel, $40,000; Grand hotel, $40,000; Windsor hotel, $23,000; Hyde block, $75,000; Washington block, $65,000; Cannon block, $20,000; Moore block, $30,000; First National bank block, $25,000; Wolverton block, $25,000; Frankfurt block, $125,000, and Full block, $75,000.

There is some fear that a premature rush -of whites to the lands will cause much trouble between the Indians and the settlors.
