Chancellor & Pearce
Chicago. August 17.—A special from
Austin, Tex., says: Yesterday evening
Gov. R06S received a dispatch from J. M.
Weston, of Richmond, saying that a fight
had occurred between the “Jay Birds”
and “Woodpeckers,” rival political fac
tions, in which Sheriff Carvey and Deputy
Biakeney were killed and several others
wounded. The dispatch said that the
fighting was still in progress and troops
were needed. A dispttch from Capt.
Reichardt, of the Houston Light Guards,
said Richmond was ia the hands of a mob.
Several had been killed, and at 9 p. m.
■ there was great excitement.
Gov. Ross ordered the Light Guards of
j Houston, under Capt. Reichardt, to go to
: Richmond at once, and also telegraphed
j orders to the Bonham Grays to be ready
to leave at a moment’s notice. “Jay
' Birds” is the name given white democrats
! of Fort Bends, numbering 400. The
! “Wocdoeckers” include negroes and a
few whites. The negroes were vastly in
| the ascendancy. It is a renewal of the
race quarrel.
A Houston, Texas, special says: Cap
tain Reichardt left here for Rienmond at
12:10 last night with thirty-four men.
Two gentlemen who arrived here by the
11:33 train reported that the “Wood
peckers” crowd ( negroes; were in an oat
i house surrounded by the other faction,
j but no more fighting occurred. They con-
I firmed the news of the killing of Sheriff
Jim Carvey and ex-Sheriff Jake Biakeney.
The town is crazed with excitement,
women and children being at home,
while the men are down town. There is
| bat one iight burning in the whole town
; and that is at the hotel. The riot was
i precipitated by a. “Jaybird” walking
i through the town with his Winchester.
He was arrested and put in jail. The
righting soon began. The dead sheriff and
[ ex sheriff were “Jaybirds.” A young
! mulatto giri was killed by accident. All
| was quiet at midnight. Governor Ross is
: expected this morning.
i St. Lons, Mo., August 17.—Dispatches
| have been received by Governor Ross at

now quiet at Richmond, but they give'no
additional particulars of the fight and add

Purvis, Miss., August 17.—The court
tais morning sentenced John L. Sullivan
to twelve months imprisonment. Fitz
patrick, the referee, pieaded guilty and
was fined $200.
Purvis, Miss., August 17.—Court did not
open till 9 o'clock this morning. Judge
Terrell was on hand long before tnat time,
and Sullivan was also seated at the bar,
showing up with Ciune before hia attorney
came to court. He looked as pleasant and
unconcerned as usual, although there was
a tremble in his eye after the jury was
seated, and he glanced over at the men
who had found him guilty. The crowd in
the court room was small, but it grew
larger in a few minutes, for hardly was
the court seated when the grand jury filed
in. They presented one indictment to be
recorded, and died out again.
The Sullivan case was then taken up.
Judge Calhoun submitted a motion in ar
rest of judgment without argument. The
papers had been left at the hotel, how
ever, and the case went over to Friday.
District Attorney Neville called the case
for John Fitzpatrick. The district attor
ney read the indictment. He then asked:
“What say you, guilty or not guilty?”
“Guilty,'’ quickly answered Mr. Fitzpat
rick.
District Attorney Neville then addressed
the court, reviewing Mr. Fitzpatrick’s
connection with the fight and the circum
stances under which he became referee,
and closed by saying that he feit satisfied
in recommending the accused to the
court’s clemency.
Captain Fitzpatrick also mads a state
ment in his own behalf, and concluded by
asking the court to be as lenient as pos
sible. The court reserved its decision.
The Sullivan matter was taken up again,
and Mr. Green read the motion in arrest of
judgment. The court overruled the mo
tion after reading its contents. Mr. Green
then submitted a motion for a new trial,
and asked for an immediate decision with
out argument from counsel. The follow
ing were the grounds of the motion:
First—Because the court charged the
grand jury a second time, of its own mo
tion and without the requasc of the grand
jury, and in giving the second charge in
the language stated.
Second—The court erred in sustaining
the demurrers to the defendant's several
nieas in abutment.
Third—The court erred in overruling the
defendant’s challenge for cause of Jurors
Landrum and Abner.
Fourth—The oourt erred in permitting
the cistrict attorney to interrogate the
jurors on their views in the presence of
the venire as to the facts of the prize fight
within their knowledge.
Fifth—The court erred in granting each
and every one of the instructions given in
behalf of the state.
Sixth—The court erred in refusing to
grant instructions asked for by the defense
and in modifying some given.
Seventh—The court erred in permitting
the district attorney, in his closing argu
ment to the jury, to appeal to the pris
oner's prejudice and the patriotism of the
jarj.
Eighth—The court erred in overruling
the motion in arrest of judgment.
Ninth—The court erred in permitting
Witness Hinton to answer the leadiDg
questions of the district attorney as to his
remarks made by the court.
Judge Terrell asked if there was any
thing farther in the Sullivan matter.
Judge Calhoun asked if the motion for a
new trial was overruled.
The court replied in the affirmative.
After further proceedings Sullivan was
sentenced to one year’s imprisonment.

His Fatal Duel With Broderick sud Part

i events in the remarkable career of the
man who encountered a violent death in
| California Wednesday, at the hands of
j Deputy Marshal Nagle, stand out promi-
i nentiy in his history—the Broderick duel
j and his connection with the celebrated
! Sharon-Hill litigation. W th one excep-
i tion, the Burr-Hamilton duel, probably no
i hostile meeting on the field othoaorin this
j country created more excitement, or was
: more bloody, than that in 1359 between
Judge Terry and D. C. Broderick, of Caii-
; fornia, who had come here from New
j York ten years before. At one time
i Broderick was a fireman in New York,

a horrible string of oaths. Marshal Franks
advanced towards her, bat she cook no no

cursed them roundly. Judge Terry, seeing
Marshal Franks epproacn his wife, arose
to his feet and stood erect. Franks grasped
Mrs. Terry by the arm while she was still
talking. In an instant Terry cried:
“No living man shall touch her. She is
my wife, and I will kill the man who
lays a hand on her.” With this he
dealt Franks a terrible blow with his
right fist. Franks was • eent spinning for
six or eight feet and finally landed among
some chairs. Terry stood for a moment,
then Franks and several others rushed on
him. Mrs. Terry was quickly hustled out
of the room, and 'Terry followed her at

public journal on that or any other sub
ject. I will meet you, not as your “de-

state of Florida, and the prosperity of our
people, and to show to them jour utter
incapacity to fill, or else your willful dis
regard of the duties of the high position
you hold at the hands of the people of
the state. I respectfully propose the fol
lowing conditions:
First—I will formulate the charges at
each meeting in not exceeding one
hour and fifteen minutes; you to reply in
not exceeding one hour and forty-'five
minutes, and I to have fifteen minutes
| for rejoinder. No introduction to exceed
! eight minutes.
! Second—There shall be fifty meetings in
i the state, not less than one in each county,
| at present, to be fixed later between us.
Tfilrd—These meetings to commence on
the first Tuesday in March, 1S90, and con
tinue to a finish. It would be useless and
senseless to disease the issues of next
year’s campaign at an earlier date. The
party who abandons the contest before its
conclusion will thereby acknowledge his
defeat.
Hon. W. D. Chlpiey Writes an Open Letter

Jacksonville, Fla., August 17.—Sena

published in the Times Union, challenged
tnose persons opposing his re-election to
meet him in every county of the state and
ciipcuss the charges which have been made
agairst him by the public press. The
Times-Union will pnbltsn to-morrow the
acceptance of this challenge by XV. D.
Cbipiey, cf Pensacola, chairman of the
democratic state oommittee, and a well
knewn business man. The letter is as
follows:

you before the- people in every county in
as appointed on Monday September 12,
1359, at 5:30 o’ciock in the morning, but
the police interfered and arrested the
principals. The next morning, however,
the parties met in the vicinity of San
Francisco unknown to the police. Terry
was seconded by Calhoun Benham ana
Thomas Hayes, while Broderick was sec
onded by JoseDh McKibben, member of
congress from California. There were
about seventy people ontbe battle-ground,
including the principals. One of the sec
onds notified the combatant s to take their
relative positions. The distance was
marked and appeared to an observer mur
derously close. More than one man pres
ent declared that it was downright mur
der to allow men to shoot at each other at
so short a distance, ten paces. The prin
cipals, however, took their positions.
A close observation of the countenances
of the two men at that moment reveaied
in a striking manner their individual
characteristics. Judge Terry’s lips were
compressed, his countenance darkly sal- |
low, and his whole appearance betrayed j
that of a man without rear and regardless !
of the consequences involved in so grave !
a transaction. Senator Broderick could ■
not have been distinguished by a stranger {
as a principal. He held earnest cocversa- !
tion with a friend and would occasionally |
turn and scan the crowd and rest his eye i
upon some recognized countenance. His
whole bearing was that of a maa who was j
about to meet a great issue and was firmiy 1
prepared for it.
The two combatants being divested of
bility that the resolution will ever pass.
The Railroad Tax Bill.
The house bill authorizing counties to
tax railroads is still before the senate com

it in the senate, and it may not pass that
body. Several prominent railroad men
will speak against it before the committee
during the coming week. It is argued
that it will seriously cripple the young
roads in Georgia.

facta, however, do not accord with this ex

never stronger in the emperor and impe

and for two days he was not himself.
