GENERAL NEWS.
A Fatal Frlr.0 Fight.
San Francisco, August 20. It
has just transpired that a prize fight
occurred across the bay near Sauce
lito, in Marin oounty, yesterday. The
contestants were Clias. Oram, an En
glishman, and George Warsen, an
American, both heavy weights, boat
. men of Saucelito. The fight grew
out of a disputo as to the pugiiistio
merits of Sullivan aud Tug Wilson.
The match was made for $250 a side,
two weeks ago, and both went into
training. The matter was kept very
quiet "and only a few spectators were
present. The rules wore a modifica
tion of the Queensbury and London
prize ring. The interval between
the rounds were reduced to twenty
seconds. The gloves used were a
more pretext, being hardly thicker
than driving gloves, Emerson weighs
about 175 and Oram ten pounds less.
The fight.beganat 3 p. m. and lasted
about three-quarters of an hour,
seven rounds being fought. Oram
was overmatched and would have
withdrawn after a round or two had
he been permitted. He was terribly
punished and Emerson was also con
siderably used up. When Oram was
whipped to a stand still his seconds
threw up the spouge. He complain
ed of pains in the head and chest,
and against tho advice of friends
took a stiff glass of brandy. He was
taken to his honse near the scene of
the fight whore he lived alone, and
early in the evening, feeling better,
sent away his attendants. This
morning Charles Dexter, steward of
the Pacific Yacht Club, which has its
club house near Oram's cabin, sent a
messenger to inquire as to his condi
tion, he was found dead and cold in
his bed, having evidently been dead
at least six hours. Emerson has been
arrested and jailed and officers are
seeking the other parties to the af
fair. Not a person could be found
in Saucelito to-day who witnessed
the fight, though all admit that they
havo heard of it.
LATER.
San Francisco, August 26. Tho
dispatch from San Rafael of the re
ported prize fight at Saucelito is a
hoax.' Two ancient vagrants wore
induced to put on the gloves by some
sportive oitizons, but neither of them
was in tho least hurt. Oram died
during the night of heart disease.
The coroner's jury found a verdict
in aooordance with tho above state
ment. No arrests. The hoax was
perpetrated on the oity evening
papers by the fun-loving citizens
who instigated the sparring match.

ter, and the rasult was that Secretary

Customs at San Francisco that the
Department did not regard play ac
tors as laborers within the meaning
of the Chinese Act, and suggested
that the facts in the case might bring

take the enemy's position in the flank
and drive them into the fresh water
canal. I also sent cavalry completely
around their position, to occupy the
railway in their rear and if possible
capture their engines and rolling
stock. 1 his operation was very well
carried out. Major General Lowe
attacked the rear of the enemy, who
had a large camp at the railway sta

enemy with considerable loss, taking
five Krupp guns, seventy-five rail
way carriages laden with provisions,
and a largo quantity of ammunition
and rifles."

The last race was a quarter-of-a-mile

were the indefatigable Heighway in
the Nina, Whitlock, of tho Now
Yorks, in his big Pearl Rippfe, and
Cook, of the Lake Georgo club.
Heighway won, with Whitlock se
cond, and after finishing the race the
contestants performed some ap
parently immpossible feats In tho

on deck, climbed half way up his
mast before upsetting. Cook upset
his boat and righted her while re
maining inside concealed beneath the
gunwale, and Heighway capsized his
canoe and righted her without allow

latter feat was accomplished by tho
aid of a false cockpit of canvas made
fast to the coamings of the regular
cockpit and provided with handles
on the buttom, by which it could be
quickly lifted and what water it con
tained, thrown out.
Ex-Gov. Gosper was next escorted

Mr. Gosper stated &at he did not ex

The above described scene consti
tuted a part of the proceeding of the
lato Republican convention, and is
thoroughly illustrative of the exquis
ite harmony, existing in the ranks of
the Republican party. Gosper ac
cused Tritle and Churchill of being
political liars, and had tho sense to
recognize the fact that "things were
fixed. You are exactly right, Mr.
Gosper. Things were harmoniously
fixed, on a basis of the legislative ap

Domocrat.
" Purdy" is obliged to Mr. Master
son, but as he is not an aspirant for
office, the force of the above brilliant
piece of wit, is somewhat obscure.
We, of Southern Arizona, sometimes
accept office, when it is tendered to
us, but, unlike the gentleman of the
Democrat, who lives in the north,
we never accept a seat in a conven
tion for- tlnr'pui'poae o7 securing uui
own nomination. We, of the south,
havo sensibilities, while you, of the
north, have only census.
We are curious to know what ac
tion Hon . M. W. Stewart will take,
in the coming campaign. Porter did
more than any other man, to defeat
Stewart, two years ago, for Congress,
and now the former is an aspirant.
Party allegiance cut no figure with
Porter. He thought ot nothing but
vengeance, and worked bitterly to
that end. Yet there was no reason
why Mr. Stewart should not have re
ceived Judge Porter's support. He
is a good man, and had never done
anything to gain Porter's enmity,
except to defoat him for the Repub
lican nomination.
The New York Herald goes for
the Republican party as follows:
The past Congress has almost en
tirely neglected the necessary public
business. The Supreme Court ought
to be reconstituted in the interest of
the whole country, but this import
ant business got no attention; a new
bankrupt law was urgently demand
ed by business interests, but none
was passed. In fact almost
every important business before this
Congress was neglected, and the net
'results of its operations is that it has
spent $294,000,000 of the people's
money, refused to reduce the taxes
with an immense and increasing sur
plus staring it in the face.
Judge Porter, the Republican
nominee for Congress, desires that the
people of Arizona- rebuke the Ad
ministration for having removed him
from tho Territorial Supreme bench.
His election is to constitute tho re
buke. As he attempted no defense
against charges preferred, it is to be
concluded that he had none to mako.
Therefore, as he could not fight his
own battle, it is hardly to be expected
that either Democrats or Republi

county, recently called from spirit
land for tho purposes of a census,
refuse to bo resurrected for registra
tion. Better have tho chairman of
the Board of Supervisors and,
Churchill, with some other Republi
can witch, deliver an incantation to
the gods of fraud.
Politics is the bane of an editor's
existence. Each individual candidate
believes that the head of a newspaper
must be able to foretell his success or
defeat. The fun of tho matter is
that, if successful, he generally for
gets the newspaper, and, if defeated,
he never ceases to curse it.
FIVE DOLLARS A YEA
Tombstone District is to bo con
gratulated on the settlement of the
Bon Ton-Addie case, by judgment of
the referee. In all mining camps,
legal complications constitute the
most dreaded affliction. In this in
stance, over $100 per day have beon
lost to Tombstone, which would have
been spent in the development of the
Addis mine during the .year .past;
Therefore Jud.-j LV' ' !o's decision s
beneficial bnth finLLiallyand in 'the
direction of a chockT& questionable '
litigation. There is no-doubt of the
correctness of the findings, as the
ablest lawyers in Tombstone sustain,
in pronounced opinions, the solidity
of the legaljdeductions of the referee.
By his determination, in the prem
ises, one of the most promising min
ing properties in tho district is de
clared unclouded in title. The Addie
shows every indication of being a
permanent mine, by virtue of situa
tion and prospects. It adjoins, on
ono end, tho Flora Morrison, which
is an acknowledged leading mine,
belonging to tho Contention Consoli
dated Mining company, and is sur
rounded by good properties. A
number of men will be put to work
at once, by Mr. R. Cohen, the owner '
of tho Addie, thus assuring an in
crease of revenue and prosperity ti
Tombstone. Judge Dibble's decision
is thorough and voluminous, ably
covering every point of law and fact
embraced in the case.
Republican papers are generally
apologizing for the nomination of
Judge Porter. No need to do so.
Porter is as good materia as there is
in the party, and deserves some
credit in the fact that, he is the only
representative Republican in Arizo
na, who had the courage to fight the
old corrupt federal ring.
It is stated that Leslie F. Black
burn and Clark Churchill, are con
stantly in active correspondence.
Blackburn owns the Republican
party of Cochise county, and Church
ill rules tho whole Republican Terri
tory. The Republican candidate for Del

political success, is too heavily olog-

Some of the representative Demo
crats of Maricopa County, showed
much courtesy to members of tho
Republican Convention. It is a good
idea to always treat your enemies
better than your friends.
It is understood that a half-dozen
men have agreed to divide tho county
offices, from justice of the peace up.
It is usual for the people to have
something to say about such things.
An honest expression of the will of
the majority always satisfies the min
ority. No one can consistently growl
at losing a fight, if he has been given
fair play.
The Democratic County Central
Committee met Tuesday night. It
took docided action in the matter of
fraudulent Ward registration.
The registration, in Yavapai coun
ty, does not keep up to the census,
because the County Recorder is a
Democrat, and honest.
Every safeguard against fraudu
lent votes, should be placed about
the polls on the day of the primaries.
An Independent is a needle in the
political hay stack. Thero is only
one in the whole of Cochise county.
Democrats all over the county,
are taking an active interest in the
approaching primary election.
The Republican candidate for Su
perintendent of Public Instruction,
will not carry his own county.
It is not characteristic of the Amer
ican people to stand bull-dozing with
equanimity.
Clark Churchill is the Blue
Beard of Arizona politics.
Mr. Oury's friends in Tombstone
are anxious to sec him.
Gosper's friends are, seemingly, a
long way from home.
Who can cast a stono at the hon
esty of Grant Oury?
Voters should register, or they will
be disfranchised.
A close mouth brecdeth political
success.
Do not fail to register.
