llrutal Prise Fight Near Chicago.
Friday evening of last week a ball was given
at Kaiser's Hall at 43d and State ntu., and among
the invited gucsU wua one Johnson, a butch
er id Fowler's packing Louse, who cast asper
sions on several young girls present, for which
he was rebuked by Billy O'Ndl, another pack
ing bouse employee. Words between them
soon ran high, leading to nn agreement forth
with to fight it out. Heconds and referees were
appointed, a ring formed, and the fight com
menced. There is no need to disgust our
renders with the details of the first, second,
third rounds, &c, the only otic we need give
is the seventh mid last round:
After being supplied with a few sour mash
es O'Neil Med the scratch and displayed bis
skill in a telling manner.
He led olF with the right duke, and caught
Johnson on the left ear, which knocked him
to the ground, where ho remained insensible
lor a few moments. Blood poured from his
ears, and it was thought he would die. The
whole gang dlsjiersed pell-mell. A few of
Mike McDonald's representatives bent a hasty
retreat across the cabbage field, and walked
through the driving rain to (he city. Johnson
was convoyed in a cart to a physician's resi
dence on Thirty-ninth and State streets, who,
ufter hearing the iill'tiir, requested the reporter
not to divulge his name for fear ol the law.
An opiate was administered to Johnson with
the greatest diillculty. It was subsequently
feared tliut the drum of bis cur was brokcu. II
such Is the case death will result. Johnson
was taken to his residence on Twelfth street.
Murder at Wedding.
In Greenup county, Ky., on tho 28th inst.,
Allen Richards married Mrs. Burke, a re
spectable widow, and a largo party gathered
to celebrate the nuptials. During the evening
Samuel Burke, son of tho bride, and his new
step-father got into an altercation, when Burke
was shot by Itichards, and is in a serious con

wedding the parlies separated.
Lyuclunjc of E1. Maxwell.
A week or two ago it was mentioned that,
Instead of tho boy Puhl of Metatnora, who
was having a tug scare up in Wisconsin on
account ot having been mistaken for Lon Wil
liams, one of the Wisconsin desperadoes, whom
justice was in hot pursuit of for half a dozen
of murders, the real Williams boys, alias Max.
well, Ed. and Lon, had been encountered not
far from Omaha, Nebraska, where Ed. was
captured but Lon made his escape. Ed., after
somo delay, was fully identified, after which be
owned up both to his identity and the murder
of tho Coleman brothers of Pepin county, Wis.,
in July last, and then was conveyed to Wis
cousin for trial in tho county where tho mur
der was committed. He arrived at Menomonee
on Thursday of last week, where an immense
crowd had gathered to greet him, on whose
demand he was taken to tho court house and
exhibited and then lodged in Jail overnight,
after winch, on Friday, Sheriff Knight con
veyed him to Durand, and lodged in jail to
await his trial. It was arranged that he should
have a preliminary examination at 2 o'clock
on Saturday, but ho waived It, and up to that
hour people from the surrounding country
came Hocking into Durand, so that the court
house yard was thronged with men and wo
men.
Then, proceeds tho Timf dispatch, tho pris
oner made a statement, confessing tho shoot
ing of the Coleman brothers, and what he
claimed to be the facts connected with the af
fair, aud that be should claim that ii was done
in self-defense. Immediately thereafter a rope
was thrown over Ins neck. Ho made a feeble
but momentary cll'ort to release himself, but
was instantly jerked down, then through the
aisle down the stairway to the ground, and
dragged to a tree a few rods distant. The rope
was thrown over a limb and Ed. Maxwell
was left swinging between earth and heaven.
It appears that tho lynching was preconcerted,
and if not participated in by the masses re
ceived their tacit consent. The widow ol
Charles Coleman and Henry Colcinan and his
wife were present aud wiinevscd the taking of
Maxwell from the custody of the law. When
the Tinu-4 correspondent left Durand tho body
was still hanging. So rapid were the move
ments of the vigilant that death lroui strangu
lation ensued before they reached tho tree.
There was intense excitement at Durand, and
even those who did not approve of the sum
mary method by which Maxwell was executed
did not give expression to their disapproval.
The following is Maxwell's confession:
"We killed the Coleman boys in self de
fense, butduln't know them from Adam. We
were sitting in the grove up town when we
saw them pass us. They bail guns with them,
and looked around otteu, as if searching for
something. We knew there was no game
about there, and that they wouldn't go bunt
ing Sunday if there was; bo wo 'knew they
were after us, aud kept a sharp look-out
When they got past us they started to run.
Then wo got over the fence and followed them
up tho rood, thinking we were surrounded and
caught in a trap. Wo bad not gone far liefore
we met them, and the one nearest the fence
(Nichol Coleman) fired first, bis shot hitting
Lon in the face and arm. Charley fired at me,
and me at him, a second later. 11 is shot struck
my arm, and he tell to my bullet, but got on
his knee and fired again. Lon bad shot the
other ono belore that, and both nieo were
down. Then we turned and ran."
He sent for a rejxiru r in the morning and
said to him: "1 haven't any friends here; I
guess 1 haven't anywhere; but you don t aeem
particularly hostile, aud I'd like to ask you
what you think about my wsivig an examina
tion. They told me I was to be examined at
9 o'clock ibis morning, but now I hear the
district attorney says he wont be ready nnlil
2 o'clock in the afternoon. I guess tf I waive

about the mumer bcioro l leave mo court

A Laredo (Texas) dispatch of Nov. 19th, to
the Galveston papers, ears:
When the stage with seven pansengers and
the United HtaU-s mail, a route from the ter
minus of the International railroad, had reach
ed a point, latt night at 12 o'chx'k, sixteen
miles from Laredo, two men, well masked, or
dered a halt, and, with Winchesters arid sii
shooters presented, ordered the passengers out
of the coach and into line, and then proceeded
in a systematic maimer to relieve them of
money and valuables, alter which they ran
sacked the mail and took money packages,
several ot which, however, were ove looked.
A sack containing parcels amounting to sev
eral hundred dollars in vtlue was not disturb
ed, owing to the driver's "taiement that it con
tained newspaper mail.' They finally con
eluded their labors by swelling parts inside
the coach where former passengers robbed
have succeeded in hiding money liel'oro being
commanded to get out, and were successful in
finding several sums. After this their victims
were allowed to proceed. Following is a list
of the passengers, with tliuir losses : John T.
Long, of Dallas, gold watch, chain, and $75;
II. Josey, of Luling, $30; 1). A. Calull.of Lu
ling, $7; Lenarks, Cam&rgo, Mexico, $U0;
Dr. Spohu, ot La Halle county, gold watch and
some money. Mr. Mtddlcmore and wife, from
Scotland, on a visit to hef sister, Mrs. Mackey,
were relieved of considerable money and a tine
gold watch, which wan returned after much
entreaty. Alterward they took a pearl neck
lace belonging to Mrs. L. Buck, aud finally
exchanged it back for a watch. The sheriff,

The Supremo Court of Vermont, at Mont
peher, on tho 19th, overruled the exceptions
taken in tho case of Emiilino M. Meaker, of
Waterbury, Vt., who had W'u convicted of the
murder ot an orphan girl 13 years old, in
April last, and the woman is to be hung:
The crime, for" which a son ot Mrs. Meaker,
Aluion Meaker, Is already under sentence ol
death, was one of the must horrible in even
the criminal history of Vermont. The child
was a half-sister of E. C. Meaker, the busbaud
of Emelino, and was an inmate of their house
hold, where b!io was severely a1 used aud
maltreated, being treated, indeed, ns a
slave by Mrs. Meaker and Almon. Almon
was a half-witted pliant tool in the hands of
his mother. Mr. Meaker is believed to lie in
nocent of all complicity Id cither the abuse or
the murder of tho child. The child was taken
from bed and dressed ; a sack was tied over
her head, and sho was taken In a wagon to a
lonely snot in tho woods, where a dose of
strychnine was given her, and she was left to
die in a swamp. The crime was conclusively
fljied upon tho two wretched prisoners, and
uothing can now save them from tho terrible
consequences.

Hi the jail by an organized mob and banged
The sheriff had used precautions in guarding
the j -til, and was startled about 1 o'clock in the
moriiiug to find the plact surrounded by an
organized body of some fifty men in masks,
The cell door was battered down by the mob
with it sled go hammer, and Davis hurriedly
taken out. They hurried him to the bridge
over tho hocking river, near by. On the way
he confessed his crime uud plcudcd piteously
for mercy, but the determined lynchers laugh
ed ami scorned his cries while remembering
tho mercy he hud shown his aged victim. The
rope was thrown over a timber in the bridge
aud Davis pitched off, falling a distance often
or twelve feet. Tho sudden jerk of the rope
almost pulled tho head from tho body, and he
died instantly. After heaping curses on the
distorted form the mob dispersed, leaving a
mark to show that their work hail been done
at 2 o'clock. The body was left hanging until
morning, and was then taken charge of by the
coroner.

Oeorge Alfred Townsend (Gath), in a recent
letter, draws the following striking picture of
tho assassin Guitcau:
A wild, fierce man, with a certain bravery of
character, such as Booth, might excite the an
imal interest by bis wildness; hut this dastard,
who killed without offeuse, and for u pur
pose beyond tho filthiest thirst for notoriety,
merited neither curiosity nor rage. I detected
him in au instant after I entered the room,
though ho sat among many other people in the
same kind of a chair, and without any rail'ng,
officers, or anything to hedge In in in. I ob
served a sortot stubbed head of hair, such as U
seen in tho criminal pictures of England, with
hair rather bristly, set low toward the front,
and rather fl'U back iu the corners, uncleanly
looking hair boorish. Under this hair was a
nasty skin, a little like a corpse, with some
rcddishncHs overspreading its generally yel
lowish dampness. Tho focc was rather long
and pear shaped. Around the chin was a con
siderable quantity of brownish heard, yet with
out any warmth in its sandy hair. The hair,
the skin, and the beard all seemed to be austy,
and dampened, as though out ol some grave-
yard. Tne perspiration ot this man appeared
to be at fault. There was nothing woeful in
his face, though it was wolfish. In the middle
of his forehead was a deep, varying wrinkle,
the principal sign to me of probable decaying
mental (acuities it is generally said mat a
depression between the ees allows a memory
well gone. In this case it was a deep depres.
smii, witu a sort ot wntiKie anaciimcnt to it,
winch was agitated right and left, like his fit
ting eyes, w hich had a sharpness about them,
but not much rest except at tunes wnen some
thing occurred to excite bis vanity. If you
were to meet this man, small as ho looks to lie
in tho body, in a lane somewhere, or in the
woods, you would go past very quickly, and
wonder as you pass him whether ho was a lit
tle crazy or very wicked. As a friend describ
ed him to me, he was one of those men who al
ways w anted to do something that was not the
thing to be done. I judge that he belongs in
the number of that large tribe of ill-balanced
Americans who think that to publish a hook
of any kind is a lofty pursuit, even if nobody
reads the book but the author, while to bo on
a Balary of a newspaper, and serve one's dav
and generation, is rather beneath human intel
ligence.
I looked at this man again and again, but
never with any increasing interest, merely won
during how to set before my mind and the pub
lic a little of the wandering which was in his
countenance. By this 1 do not mean more
than that something seemed to drive the man
on and on, from point to point, from thought
to thought, and let him rest nowhere, as if a
voice was always crying out: "Move on!"
whenever he halted. If ymi were to take your
eye off him a few minutes, and would bring it
back, lie siH'ineu to nave gone a uunnreu mites
since you looked at him before. That rapid,
nervous head had drawn him through great
periods of space and of agitating suggestions.
He could not any more pause than a mad dog,
ever wanting to drink, ever frightened at the
pool, ever snapping, ever dawning on. l asked
myself the question, if he was crazy, and it
looked U) me very probable. The observation
of jiersons I know who have seen much ol
Guitcau since the killing, is to the effect thut
ho is not cognizant in mind.
I!l loaning far the North Pole.
Commander Cheyne of the British navy,
who made three separate voyages to tho Arc
tic regions in as many Franklin search expe
ditions, arrived in New York a week ago to
work up interest in favorof a scheme, of which
he Is the originator, to reach the north pole by
means of balloons. In a lecture at Chlckering
Hall ho thus explained his project, to further
which he has come to this country:
He desired, he said, in company with Lieut.
Schwatka, who approves of Uie project, to do
what has lieen deemed impossible reach the
North Polo by means ol balloons. His meth
od is to start out next spriug with a vessel
which will carry him to St. Patrick's Bay.
There a house is to be put up aear a coal field
and provisions are to bo stowed in a cave in
the cllll. Then three balloons are to be tilled.
Each balloon is intended to carry three men,
a sledge, Esquimaux dogs, provisions and in
struments. Preliminary observations are to
be made at three different jiolnts to determine
the variations In the course of the wind and
after the proper wind curve has been found
the balloons are to be released to drift toward
the pole, 406 miles away, at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. Commander Cheyne believea
that the pole can be reached in from eighteen
to twenty-four hours with ono of Ike balloons,
tho other two being left part way behind in
case of necessity ; and ho asserted that a proba
bility is that alter Uie vicinity of the pole has
been photographed, tho successful balloon will
drift beyond the polo to the shore of Russia,
where, on landing, the trip can lie continued
to St. Petersburg, whence the news of the dis
covery of tho pole can be telegraphed to the
world within a week of tho event.
For this Anglo-American expedition Com
mander Cheyne wants $130,000, but he said
that he bad announced that ho could carry out
the project w ith $75,000 by chartering a ves
sel instead of buyiug one. Subscription lisW
have Is-cn started in England, and he hopes
to get aid iu this country.
The lecture was based ou an imaginary trip
to the pole by tho audience, and was illustrat
ed by limelight views of Arctic sceuery aud
scenes of previous expeditious. Speaking ol
the Jcanette, he said that ho believes she has
not been lost. He believes that she is drifting
Willi tho pock ice in an easterly direction, and
that she will in time be reached by way ol
Smith's Sound, thereby meeting her instead ol
following her.
