This was tho first tlmo ho Hail seen Sirs. Wood. He had not the money at tho time, and requested Mrs. Wood to call at his of lice. In the meantime he consulted Dr. drnydon lespecting the matter. Tho doctor advised him to advanco tho money, stating that ho would ho re sponsible for tho amount. Witness then told of his visit to tho Commcrcial-QiKttle office on the night that Mr. Halstcad had become con vinced that the paper was a forgery. Somo days after paying the first amount of money to Mrs. AVood, the lady called at Ins house and told Ills wife to have him call at her house, as she wanted to sco him on a very im portant matter. Ho supposed that tills would bo another u-ducst for money, ami he again consulted Dr. Qraydon as to what was the best thine to do. Dr. Giaydon advised him to sco Mrs. AVood, and, if she did not want too much money, to supply it, and give him iJoO. This money lie gave to Mrs. AVood and told her not to ask him for moie. He did not pay her nny moro until alter AVood was arrested; then he gave her son $10. Tills was on tho liiKhl that Mrs. AVood and her son came to his house and told him that Wood had been nueslcd.

Mr. Hadden said ho had met George Campbell since he had been examined by tho committee, but, at the meeting not a word had been said in connection with the investigation. Their conver sation was In icgard to some financial mattcis which weio pending between themselves.

Postmaster-General AVnnamaker and Assistant Attorney-General Tyncr ap peared bcfoio the llouso Committco orr l'ostolllccs tills morning nnd explained to its members a nlan which Mr. Wnua- I maker has long been considering for a iiiuiiuu iiusiui luiugiiiuu service, a iui orencc to which ho made in his last an nual report. Mr. Avanainaker's idea is to make an arrangement with tho telcaranh com panies whereby there can be established a limited service at lower rates, using tho postofllces, stations and ordinary deliveries of the postofllces. It is pro posed to connect the telograph wires with all the free delivery offices and to take messages at or about one-half tho cur rent rates, delivering by letter canlors at regular deliveries. Mr. AVanamakcr thinks, that with no other liability for telegraphic messages than that for tho ordinnry mail, with no necessity for booking messages or auditing nnd keeping cash accounts, by using postago stamps in p-iyment, as for letter postage, the cost of the scivicc would be lcdiiccd If the rate tould be fairly icduced on tele graphic messages. Tho delivery of such messages in another city on the day they oilginated seems to him to offer an nccommodalion that vast nuinbcu ot people would avail themselves or, es pecially for communications of a social nnd family ualuic, if the service could be perfoimcd nt lower rates. Tho equipment of the poslolllccs, he be lieves, is all ready to do the cheaper set vice. uxciTi:a sui:m;. Chasing a Man AVhoio Pockets llulgotl wiin ristois. Two men cnlcicd the hnrdwaic stoio of P.

So Mr. Council asked them to step fuithcr lack in the stoio wheic ho hail a laigti stock. They did so, and had selected a pair when the pioprictor turning saw a man witli his pockets bulging iith pistols leaving the store by a side door. Ho left the two cus tomer and rushed towaul the man shouting "stop thief I" The fellow ran ncioss the Avenue, followed by a largo ciowd who had taken up the cry. Tho man attempted to jump on nu Avenue car and three of the pistols dropped from his pockets. Then hoiau mound "the car and down Four-and-n-balf street to Armoiv Squaie, dodging about behind trees and bushes. Tho crowd had swelled to hundicds of people by this time, and near Sixth street the man was captured by Officer Quintan and a citicn. lie was taken to Police Headquar ters, nnd when scaiched five pistols, valued nt sHO, were found in his pock els. Ho gave his name ns Thomas P. Scott, but ndmitted that It was not his real name. He would not glvo tlio names of ills confederates, and is now locked up in the Sixth Pieclnct Station. "If I had had a pistol," said Mr. Council to a Cuiric icportcr, "tho man would ncer have i cached Armoiy Square."

Pat O'Rourko and Charley Gainoy Battle to a Finish. COMBAT BY THE MOON'S PALE LIGHT. O'Rourko Declared. Ihe Winner, and Ho (lets tho Receipts. dniulilers, Dudes nnd Oontlomon" Applaud tlia Contestants C.eorcu town Hpints Amuse lltf msclves at a I) ok l'lclit. AYlth (he aid of two coal-oil lamps, ono lantern nnd tlio moon about 1.10 peisons witnessed, between 'J nnd II o'clock this morning, an exceedingly savage prize fightbetwnen Pat O'ltourko and Charlie Gainoy, two youthful but ambitious light weights of this city. The affair, though amiilcuiish so far as the principals wcro concerned, was one of the most cvclllng events of tho kind ever witnessed near this city. All the airniigemcnts for it wcro made so quietly that during tho early part of last night not moro than twenty persons knew that it was to tnke place. About midnight, howcer, tho affair was noised abroad, and soon after the several sport ing resoits wheic information concern ing such matters can always bo obtained were filled with people to whom tho "tip" was impaitcd. The stait fiom the city was made soon after 12 o'clock. Evciyspitof vchiclo obtainable at the hour was picsscdinto service, and a procession was soon moving rapidly but silently olong the deserted country roads in the direction of n point outside tho District that liau been selected as tho battle ground. Only a vciy few netsons knew wheic tho spot was, but the vehicles proceeded in tlio follow-your-leador order, until a halt, made by the foic most one, indicated to tlio others that tho destination had been reached. The moon was shining brilliantly as thcciowd assembled, and by its light the gnthciing assumed even a moro giolcsquc appcaiance than would havo been possible under other conditions. It was composed, ns such gatherings usually nie, of all soits of people. Pightcis, spoils, dudes, gambleis and a number ot othcis whoso absence from home would requiic n better excuso than could be ofloidcil by a prlo fight, in oidei to explain it satisfactoiily, made up the party, and for once they wcic all bound together by the common nnd all-absorbing interest which tho prospective fight had awakened. Although many of the men wcic de cidedly tho woise for liquor, nnd were still imbibing ficcly fiom the well-supplied bottles with" which every man seemed to be piovidcd, it was an e ticmely oulcrly and quiet ciowd that stood silently shivcilng in tho moon light awaiting until they should bo In formed where the ling was to be pitched. Tho party had alighted in what appealed to bo abaiicn field, hemmed In nt one end by woods and sloping giadually down to tho liver. The only bieok in tho dieaiy wasto was caused by a low fiamo building, bain or shed. '1 biough the ciacks in tho walls of this building, however, a gleam of light could bo distinguished, and It was li-nincd thatlhcic tho picparallons for the light weio being made. This in formation wns obtained fiom allguio that suddenly loomed up in tho moon licht. It wns no sooucr icccivcd, how- oct, than the crowd stnited for tho building, nnd in a very few moments weio in complete possession. Then tho lhst difficulty piescntcd Utelf. Tho managci.s of the affair had evidently not anticipated such a laige attendance when they selected this building for theaicna, mid tho re sult was that standlng-ioom was nt a picmium nnd no room was left for tho lighters. Scvcial stalwait young men attempted to force tho ciowd back against tho walls so as to allow loom foi a ling, but this piovcd to boa physical impossibility, and it was found nccesaiy to change tho plans altogether. AVhilo this was belug done the ciowd wns left to amuse Itself as best it could. Not a man in the party vt ould leavo tho building until ho knew what was going to be done, becauso each had paid to enter it, nnd the delay began to cause manifest impatience. In order to relievo this, and to render waiting less tedious, a young ranu spread a gi con cloth on a boaul ami oJVcrcd c cry ono piesent a chance to make all his expenses by betting that tho spots on two dice which ho tlucw fiom a box would nggiegate moie or itss than seven. At tho same time another young gen tleman began expeiimcnting with ono of the two lamps that lighted the place, and kept tho icst of the assemblage oc cupied in wondering whether he was tiying to set tho building on fire or was mciely endeavoring to afford sufficient light to render possiblo the lucrative form of amusement offered by tho young man with the green cloth. In this way an hour was passed, and then it was an nornced that the fight was to take place in the open nir. Stakes wcro imme diately driven In tho ground, tho lopes were placed and tho spcctatois gathered about tho ring. Tho fighteis were already thcic, w rapped up in blankets, nnd looking cold and miserable as thoy passed up and down tho ring to keep the frost from numbing their already chilled limbs. At tho bight of them the exclto nicnt that is characteristic of the rlug side began to mnnlfcst itself among tho ciowd, and when ono of tho managors sucaested that It would bo in order to uame a rcfeieo it bioko out in a chorus of shouts. Nearly eveiy mnn had somo ono to suggest for the position, and tnoso that did not havo a candidate shouted for every ono named with ex ceeding vigor and equal inconsistency In the midst of the excitement an In toxicated man climbed a pole near tho ling nnd shouted "My fellow citizens" in tones that ioso above tho geneial ills oilier. Miko Beidy, however, was finally chosen lcfeiee, after tho gentleman on the polo had been silenced by a tluent of "beiug done," and then tho fighters took their comers. O'ltourko had as his seconds his brother Jimmle O'ltourko and Bill Nolly, both pugilists, while Gcorgo Northrldgo nnd Hairy Daly of New Yoik. who aro also ilsihtcrs. took caioof Gnlncy. As tho men tlncwoff their blankets nnd npncaied naked fiom the waist up, nn nudlbloshiver rau through tho crowd. Neither of tho men weio in good condition. Gainey, who is sevcial pounds heavier than his antago nist, was very llcsuy, whllo, O'Boutko Miowcd plainly tholack of tialnlug. At the call of tlmo, howevor, they jumped lightly to tho ccntioof tho ilng, shook hands and then went nt each other with all the ferocity of bulldogs. Tho uilcs intended to govern tho match wero Miuqulsof Quccnsbeny, but from tho fitMltwasn kind of n i:o as you please nlTnlr, In which tho reictcc woikudns haul as Iho flghlcis in tiying to break the men npnrl. Thcic was no nttempt nt sinning, but each slugged nwny with might and mnlii, landing whenever nnd wheiover he could, nnd clinching to avoid the others punishment. Galccy made tlio fiist lead when the fight opened, and lnndtd heavily on the other's Jaw. He leeched n heavy blow In return, how ever, nnd then thoy clinched ami punched each other in the ribs nnd about the neck till Beldy pulled them apart. Then they fought all over the ring, exchanging heavy blows and clinching until O'Bouiko managed to get In a swinging light bander cm Gnlney's jaw and knocked him down. The excitement in the ciowd was in tense, nnd ns Gainoy fell a yell went up loud enough to nwakcu the ctitiio neighborhood. Gainey was up In a minute, nnd tho two rushed together ngain, but beforo nny effective blows could be stiuck tlmo wns called, nnd both men retired to their coiners nlmosl entirely out of brcnlh. Odds of $100 to 80 were nffcicd on O'ltourko when tho second lound open ed. Ho came up In good condition, while Gainey was still panting, nnd was evidently being winded. Tho second round was n lepctitlon of the first. The fighting was fast and fuilous. Both succeeded in landing n number of heavy blows, but after each followed a clinch, and tho lcferco was kept busy te.ulng the men apait. Dining the cliuclios a number -of times ciies of foul wcro raised, but it was now impossible to keen the men anait and nKo watch tho blows, so tho fouls passed unnoticed and the excitement about the ring In creased. To the end of the second round neither of the men had gained any advantage, and the third round opened with some exceedingly cautious sparring. In this way the men managed to ie gain their breath. Gainey was the first to lend and he landed his right on O'Bourkc's chest. O'Bourke returned tho compliment wilh a blow under Gnlney's left eye, which closed it up and rendered it of but little service during the rest of the fight. Then they clinched and somo fierce infight ing followed, in which Gainey began to weaken. AVhcn they were torn asunder he attempted to i elite to his coiner, and O'Bourke, In the confusion nnd noiso that piovailcd, supposing time had been called, icfrnincd from following him. At this Nolly pushed O'Bourke violently in tho diiectton of tho ictreatlng Gainey. O'ltourko, taken unawares, half ran and half fell ncios the ring, and, coming into vio lent contact with Gainey, he knocked him under the ropes nnd fell on him. The seconds ot both men ran to seize them, the lcferec ycllingto tho former to keep back, attempted to pait tho llghtcis, while the ciowd in its excite ment broke down the 1 opes and crowded about the struggling men. When com paiathe older" was lcstoicd Gainey was taken to his corner in rather bad condi tion. hi the foui Hi lound 'lie mado a good effcut to defend himself, nnd succeeded in landing several blows, but they weio weak and had but little effect. O'Bourke, on the other hand, was in good condition, nnd was pounding tho wind out of his antagonist with heavy body blows.
