Murderer Jere Dunn, lRbferee, Justifies Himself-Slavin Fireud. New YoaK, June 18.-Jere Dunn, referee in the Slavin-Kilrain glove contest, ren dered his formal decision to-night. He awards the fight to Slavin but declared that Kilrain was not knocked out. Bets that the contest would not last teh rounds are won, because the winner is de clared after less than nine rounds has been contested. Dunn says that Time Keeper Daly made an unfortun ate mistake alter the gong got out of order by not calling out the seconds that elapsed while Kilrain was down. He then states that he considers himself equally at fault in not keeping his eyes toward the center of the ring at that time in order to see for himself how quickly Kilrain got up. He explains the fact that his back was toward Kilrain by saving he felt it his duty, on account of Slavin's method of fighting, to watch the Australian to prevent him from fouling. Dunn states that Slavin always showed a desire to ro in and slug Kiai in the instant he arose from falling down. Dunn puts himself on record as being against such tactics and says he would have decided against Slavin had he committed that act in the ninth round. This evening in a hotel Slavin and Mitch ell, who seemed to have been drinking, made a good deal of noise and intimated in a round-about way to JTere Dunn that he had been afraid to decide Kilrain knocked out because his (Dunn's) friends bet against that result. Dann replied if he only Oot a had reputation from such people as the Iren who were talking, his character would alwars be of the best. Slavin was requested to leave the hotel and did.

Interesting, Historical Discoveries In the Indian Territory. WEATUHInIORD, Tex., June 18.-One of the most ocnclnsive and interesting proofs of a bit of local as well as general history has just been brought to light in the Indian Territory, north of this city and about di rectly north of Old Spanish Fort. It cer tainly does shed some light on the last and fatal expedition of La Salle, the great ex plorer, who first visited this country in the interest of civilization. On the north side of the Washita river, and about a mile from that stream, at the base of the Yellow Hills, is one of the most extensive ruins in this part of the country. 'the work has, with the lapse of time, decayed greatly, but it shows it was once a fort for defense. It has stone smelters, laid out in regular order, one after the other, and extending more than half a mile in length. Tall grass has grown up on and around the ruin, but the great piles of slag thrown out by the smelters are readily dis tinguishable and show the mining to "have been done for silver in the old Mexican fashion. The fort is an oblong square. The inside wall has been built of stone and is standing in places yet, though broken down till one can step over it. On the outside of this is a ditch or moat. This has been cut sloping from the outside, but the bank next the tort is perpendicular and about ten feet in height. On the top of this has been a wall of loose stones about three feet high. Every thing inside of the moat seems to have been built of stone, doubtless to keep the fire from burning them out. There is only one entrance to this enclosure and that is protected by the smelters made of stone, and though they are in ruins, they show they were constructed like commnon furnaces, with a place in the top for thevessel in which the mineral was placed. An old trail leads down to the river and shows that the water for the camp was obtained there. Arrow heads of flint are found in abundance about and in the fort, and it must have been vigor ously attacked at some time by hostile sav ages. The heads are made after the pecul iar style of the Sioux, and are of blue flint, only found In the northwest, where the tribe of that name had their chief village. There can be no doubt that the people who built and, inhabited this fort were Span iards, for cut in a large stone in a bluff at the river are a lot of Spanish words, though most of them are indietingulshable on ac count of the crumbling of the stone by the weather. The beginning of the sentence are the Spanish words, "Quien esbe." Where the ore came from is not known, but it was evidently carried out of the hills to this place on account of water. There are many legends among the Mexicans and Indians that La Salle met his death in this region, but historians have decided that he was killed further south and on the T'rinity river. There can Le no doubt, however, that this point was his camp at the time his followers mutinied, and he turned back toward the gulf only a few da3s at least before his assassination. The Mexicans through this country say that during his sojourn in the north he mined and col lected much silver, and that his followers killed him in order to secure the treasure; that afterwards at confession they gave it up, and it was made into the altar set a long time used at the convent or mission of San Gabriel. The investigation will be pushed and is expected to expose relics of historical worth. SWEPT THIE VALLEY. Terrible Storm in Central Illinois-Towns Inundated. PEORIA, Ill., June 18.-A terrible rain storm swept through the Illinois river val ley last night, doing great damage toorops, gardens and fences. In Hilton, across the river from here, a number of houses were washed from their foundations and people fled in their night clothes to the railroad grades and hills. At Farmdale, seven miles east, water raised in the houses to a depth of three leet. Herds of cattle and horses and many hogs and chickens were swept away and crops for a large distance utterly ruined. The only fatality reported was in Cop paras creek valley in Fulton county. When the flood rushed down the valley a farmer named Gray became alarmed and taking his three boys, aged 12, eight and five, he started for the hills. HIs wife refused to leave the house, taking refuge on the roof. When Gray was half way across the valley a floating log struck and partially stunned him. The three boys were drowned and Gray narrowly escaped. His wife was rescued this afternoon. Damage to rail roads, bridges, etc., will be very heavy. Mlen and Animals Drowned. Cnr or MIxIco, June 18.- Additional particulars of the cloud burst near the min ing city of Catorce, Mexico, are to the effect that the habitations occupied by the miners were swept away and the tunnel of the Guadeloupe mine filled with water, drown ing several miners. A number of people living in cliff dwellings were buried alive. At Las Cruces and El Portero on one side of the mountain and Las Catorce on the other side, fifteen dead bodies have been recovered, and there are believed to be many more. The total number of those who lost their lives is thought to be fifty. A hundrpd pack animals were drowned and the roads destroyed. The mining company's loss is heavy. The Lake Burrst VXrNNA, June 18.-An artificial lake one thousand feet long, 850 feet wide and eighty feet deep, formed by the Martell glacier behind Zufallfarner, a mountain in the Tyrol, burst its confines to-day and flooded the valley. The huge volume of escaping water caused a shook like an earthquake and made a deafening noise. As the inhabitants antici pated the accident and had made prepara tions it is hoped no fatalities were caused, but reports from many villages which have been inundated are anxiously awaited. Much property has been destroyed. The bursting of the lake was due to the soften ing of the glacier which is 1,200 feet in thickness. Ilo Worked the Senate. BiALTIMORE, Md., June 18.-William K. Duval, the young man who distinguished himself recently by naming a fictitious brood of young Duvals after various sen ators and repiesentatives in congress, se ouring miany presents, pleaded guilty in the crrminal court to three oases of false pre toenes, and was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary in each ease. THE BABBLING BROOKE. Familiar Sobriquet of the Indisoreet Woman Who Told the Gam bling Story. She Is Boldly Snubbed by the Haughty Young Duohees of Portland. New Treaty to the Advantage of 1'ortuagat Real Aim of the Czar of Russia. Lomnox, June 18.-There are likely tote further developments of another phase W this memorable visit to Tranby Croft which will throw the card playing inoident into the shade. It is now known that *te prince intended, and even accepted an infi tion, to spend Doncaster week at Welbeik Abbey, the superb country seat of the duke of Portland, but when the customary list of guests whom the prince desired to hate invited to meet him there was received at Welbeok, the proud young duchess of Port land drew a pencil through the name of Lady Brooke, and notified the prince that the woman would not be received at Wel beok. The prince thereupon hurriedly ar ranged to go insteadto Tranby Croft, where there would be no objection to wel coming Lady Brooke or any other woman who is illumined by the sunshine of royal favor. There is an ironical sort of justice in the fact that it was Lady Brooke who learned the story of cheating from the prince and blabbed it to others. This has earned for her the familiar sobriquet of "the babbling Brooke." Portugal may well be satisfied with her new treaty with Lord Salisbury's honorable liberality to the party kingdom which he compliments as England's ancient ally. England makes her ancient ally a present of a solid block of r50,000 square miles of South African territory north of the Zambesi. England keeps for herself a small strip of Marioaland, where as Lord Salisbury remarks casually, goad miners are now at work. Perhaps a squge mile of the gold may prove to be worth'as much as flty thousand where there is none. The treaty follows otherwise the main lines of the foamer treaty which Portugal angrily rejected., T.is peppery little power gets the low lyinu lauds where the natives can work but Europeans cannot, not even the Portu. guese. Lord Salisbury was asked from mo tives of philanthropy to rescue these un happy natives from Portuguese rule which is of a barbarous kind. He refused. There is, he said, something higher than philan thropic motives. There is the solemn en gagement of England. She recognized Portuguese claims by the treaty of 1817 which was confirmed in 1847. 'lhat in his mind closes the controversy. Newfoundland may take note of the re mark. Others also may note that all the pressure put upon Lord Salisbury by the South African company is without effect. He prefers British honor to British inter eats. Some fresh light appears on the Russian persecution of the Jews. The emperor's real aim is now said to be to drive them all back within the pale; within, that is, those districts where long since Russian Jews were ordered to concentrate. Those outside are outside by permission. Now the permission is cancelled. The districts whither they are ordered will not support them. If half a million re-enter, another half million must Lnd their way abroad. There is, however, less fear of a general exodus. Mr. Arnold White, Baron Hirsch's agent, telegraphs to Lord Rothschild that there is no sign of emigration in a body to England. Perhaps not; but neither is there any sign of any relaxation of Rassian in tolerance and crunelty. Journalist EHnrlburt Much Sinned Against. LoNDoN, June 18.-In the Evelyn-Hurl burt case to-day Attorney General Sir Richard Webster, on behalf of Hurlburt, said the most deliberate perjury had been proved against Miss Evelyn in regard to the relations which existed between herself and both Hurlburt and Jackson. The jury were unanimous that no promise of mar riage had ever been made. Sir Richard also said of the bogus letters which had been produced, that some of the letters were of so horrible a nature that they could hard ly be associated with any man's promise to marry. During the course of Sir Richard Webster's argument Master of Rolls Lord Esher, asked whether there wus any evi dence that the defense had tried to find the man Wilfred Murray, who was alleged to be the real author of the indecent letters. Candy, on behalf of Miss Evlyn, replied that there was not the slightest evidence that the defense had tried in any way to locate Murray. Cautioned Not to Be Extravagant. BERLIN, June 18.-In the Prussian Diet Herr Miguel, imperial minister of finance, presented a statement, the substance of which is: Final accounts of the current flnancial year give warning that the govern ment must exercise caution, for nlthoueh these showed probable surplus of 13,500,000 marks, the whole of this sum would soon disappear in increasing expenditures. He added: "We have left our fairest year behind us. Prussia's greatness lies in the prosperity of her finances and this can only be obtained by economy." The im provements which have just been made, and others which are still in progress in connection with the railroad system of the country were, said the minister of finance, the chief cause of the outlay and they show an increased expenditure amounting to 63,000,000 marks over estimates, The 'house approved them. \Wont Out of Sight. PARIa, June 18.-A professional aeronaut made an ascension from La Villotto yes terday, being accompanied by two towns men.

FOUR CORNERED DUEL. A Quartette of Coolies Finished With Knives. NEW Yonx, June 18.-Chief Mate Lowell, of the steamship South Portland, from Ja maica ports, tells a story of a horrible fight he witnessed at Port Marie. Four coolies, all natives of the town, had been involved in a bitter feud and decided to fight to'the death. A green enclosure was roped off and at each corner stood one of the men. They were stripped to the waist and each man grasped in his right han I a knife with a blade seven inches long. For a moment the men stood glar ing at each other, then the word was given and the fight began. It was a oase of every man for himself with a vengeance. Lowell says that without exception it was the most fearful sight he ever saw. In five minutes it was all over.

And Where She Met and Captured the GeneraL The bride, Miss Georgia Kilbourne, is a beautiful woman, about 26 years old, whose father is one of the wealthiest and best known men in Iowa. Her grandfather was David Kilbourne, a capitalist and con tractor, who moved from New York to the state west of the Mississippi almost in its infancy. He projected many of its first railroads and publio improvements. His son, George Kilbourne, married a daughter of Prof. Wells, who for many years con ducted the military school for boys at Peekskill. When Georgia Kilbourne was 13 years old she visited the home of Prof. Bartlett at West Point, and she was such a winsome, attractive child that she became a favorite with nearly everybody in the beautiful town on the Hudson. Gen. Scho field's daughter, Mary, and Miss Georgia became close friends at that time, and when the former was married to Lieut. Andrews years afterward Miss Georgia Kilbourne was her maid of honor. While the Schoflelds were in Washington Miss Kilbourne paid them a visit of runny months. Gen. Scho field is now 60 years of age, but Miss Kil bourne's sister married Gen. Barney, of New York, when she was only 22 and the general 74, and the marriage proved a most happy one. Miss Kilbourne is well ed ucated, is possessed of a comfortable for tune in her own right and will have more from her mother. She has traveled exten sively and is an accomplished and well poised young woman, who will be a bril liant accession to the social corps of the al my. She is especially winsome in con versation, inheriting from both her par ents uncommon gifts of wit, versatility and fluency. She has a petite figure, symimet rical and graceful, and understands per fectly the art of dressing becomingly. While she was in Europe she had rare ad vantages for study and society.

Thrilling Encounter Btetween an Engineer and Firenman. AI.LANaC, O., June 18.-A thrilling en counter took place yesterday afternoon on board an engine on the Lake Erie, Alliance and Southern railroad between the fireman and the engineer. Edward Benitz, the en gineer, and James McSwigan, the fireman, were both candidates for the hand of Julia Spieler, a pretty brunette. Both men were aware of the other's intentions, but were known to be on good tornis. When within twenty miles of this city yesterday, with a mixed passenger and freight train, MoSwigau told Bonitz that he had proposed to Julia, and that he had been accepted. This enraged the engineer, and releasing his hold on the throttle, he sprang upon his rival and a terrible battle ensued. The train was then running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, and sped on as the two men fought. Mlucwigan grabbed a shovel to de fend himself, but the engineer wrested it from his grasp, and soon had him upon his back on the tender pummeling him fear fully. A brakeman separated the combatants on the promise that the matter would not be reported. Both men resumed their posts. 11oth were evidently willing to let the matter drop, for neither broached the subject, and the train arrived in this city on schedule time. Miss Spieler is a highly respected young lady.

WAsurNOTON, June 18.-It is said the treasurer's statement, to be issued to-mor row, will show a deficiency of $600,000 in stead of the usual net cash balance, the first time this has occurred since the pres ent form of statement was adopted by Treasurer Jordan. In making this calcula tion, howevyer, no account is taken of $22. 000,000 on decosit in national banks and the $20,000,000 of fractional silver in the treasury. Expenditures so far this month have been $8,188,824 in excess of the entire revenues of the government during the same period, amounting to $18,221,852. These were exceeded by pension payments alone which amounted to $18,812,155.

These same officials say the treasurer's statement to-morrow will not include re ceipts during the past two days and if it did an actual surplus of $2,000,000 would be shown instead of an apparent deficiency.
