Shipments to tt.e South, and the natural shifting or funds as the January divi? dends become due, are points In Cavot of continued hard money. Of course, Uiese conditions are aa yet but vaguely d>lined, and may be quickly chancead, but, on tho whole, are Important enough to be borne In mind during the next tew weeks. ?UrUMOND graft MaH "Kr. ki'hiijs- ?.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA., December 18. |p? ' ?.il.)-A surprise was sprung on the porting fraternity by tho Corporation ourt to-day. A special gratnl Jury which as been inquiring Into the mill, or boxing mut, Which was pulled off at Point treSSO, November 1st, between Howard >zman and Bete Manzl, light-weights, un 1er the auspices of the Newport News ?un and Fishing Club, late this eventng eported nine true bills, as follows: tgalBSt R F. Haley, Major F. Moore, r-itn Murray, Frank Bosworth. Kelly, ind Jim M??'aulny, for aiding and abet Og lbs Ogbt, and BgatoSt lloivard Oz Baa and Bete Manzl, the principals. A ripple of Still lenient was caused In he court-room when A. II. Gilmore, r? i'iiti-r for the l>aily PrSBS, who, It Is laid, wrote the first account of the bout, efused to divulge the source of his in rortii.ulon, and for awhll.? it looked as f he would be sent to Jail for contempt, jilmore would not disclose this Informa? tion, nnd the grand Jury, after a con? sultation with the prosecution, decided it Was not necessary to force him to dO ? >. Other aewspeper men called before the Jury were J. B. Locke, and W. T. Kirby. When the match was pulled off It was reported to have besa a flght for a purse of Ut, with 4-ounce gloves, and that Man/.i forced Ozmati t?. the rope In the ninth round and caused his seconds to t.iss up the SpongS. This led to an ln vestigaUon by Couuty-Chlef-of-Pollce W. C. Boats right, who BSTors out warrants Sgainst Ozman, Manzi, and Major F. Moore, Btanager of the Point Breeze re? sort. They were before Justice Henry .Ion?'?, in Bloodli'id, and were acquitted of the charge of engaging In and pro? moting a prize fight. All of the witness ?s testified that thl re was a very pretty boxing contest of live rounds, in which the principals' warm devotion for each other prevented blood from being spilled, and precluded all possibility of the oc? currence of such a pi? post?irons tlajng as a. prize light. Here it was thought the matter ha?l ended, and the bout was for? gotten, until It was recalled to-day by the action of the grand jury.
