Continu ing, the judge salii: “The sentence of the law is that as punishment for the offense for which you stand convicted, you shall sutler imprisonment for twelve months in the county jail.” Sullivan gloomily took his seat. Nona of his friends spoke to him then. It was best to leave him to his own reflections. He maintained his stolid look for a moment, but when attention was drawn from him, his mouth put on the same appearance as when he met Kilrain in the ring, with a little of sorrow tempering the feroeby. The feeling passed from him in another moment, and when he eot under the railing to leave the court room he faced a sympathizing crowd with a broad smile. FITZPATRICK SENTENCED. “Staud up, Mr. Fitzpatrick,” said Judge Terrell iu a kindly tone. Mr. Fitzpatrick took his place at the bar. “Mr. Fitz patrick,” said the judge, “in view of all that has been said iu your behalf, and which I am disposed to believe is true, you appear to be a gentleman who was only present at the fight as a spectator and as one who did not intend to violate the law. In view of the statements in your behalf I sentence you to pay a fine of $300.” Capt. Fitzpatrick bowed and thanked thg court. The agreement to allow sixty days to file bills of exception was put on record, and Judge Calhoon tuen made a motion for ap peal, returnable to the supreme court on the third Monday in February next, at tho sams tirno presenting a b mil for 81,000 for the appearance of his client, this amount being the maximum presor.bod for the ap peal on misdemeanors. District Attorney Neville announced the reception of tho information of Jake Kil rain’s arrival here early next week, and asked tho clerk to issue a subpoena for Capt. Fitz patrick as a witness in the Kilraiu cam, and also against Hud Renaud. Mr. Fitz patrick was required to give a J. r >oo bond to appear in the court. The cjurt then ad journed until Monday. Sullivan left town for the north at 6:17 o’clock to-night, having given bond to appear when his appeal is decided. CHILDS ARRIVES FOR KILRAIN. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 17. —Detective Childs, sont by Gov. Lowry to take Jake Kilrain, the pugilist, to Mississippi, arrived bore this morning, called upon Marshal Frey, who told him that Jake wai out on bail, ami not returnable until Thursday. Kilrain, when simultaneously notified of Childs’ arrival and John L. Sullivan’s sen tence of twelve months in the penitentiary, and being mindful that it was this s itue Detective Childs that successfully took Sul livan to the land of punishment, remarked, Ct 'I lhe law for the collection of forfeited bail in Maryland is quito defective, and should Kilrni i, alarmed at Sullivan’s fate, skip, his bonds no i would not likely have to pay the $2,003. H'rien Joe Beard, tho Baltimore dive keeper, ti *d and his bonds man promptly paid SI,OOO bail, even the clerks of the court gave him the laugh. FACITONa IN A FIGHT. A Sheriff and His Deputy Killed and Troops Ordered Out. Chicago, Aug. 17. —A special from Aus tin, Tex., says: “Y’esterday evening Gov. Ross received a dispatch from J. M. Weston of Richmond saying that a fight had oc curred between the ‘Jay Birds’ and ‘Wood peckers,’ rival political factions, in which Sheriff Garvey and Deputy Blakeney were killed and several others wounded. The dispatch said that iigutiug was still in progress and troops were needed. A dis-, patch from Capt. Reinhardt of the Houston Light Guards sail that Richmond was in the hands* of a mob, that several had been killed and that at 9 o’clock there was great excitement. Gov. Ross ordered the Light Guards of Houston under Capt. Reiehardt, to go to Richmond at once and also telegraphed orders to the Baaham Grays to be ready to leave at a momeut’s notice. The Jaybirds is tho name given the white democrats of Fort Be .and, uum ering 403. The Wool pecker’s include the negroes nud a few whites. Tlie negroes arc vastly in the as cendant. It is the result of a race quarrel.” START OF THE TROOPS. A Houston (Tex.) special says: “Capt. Richards left here lor Richmond at 12:10 o’clock last night with thirty-four me i. Two gentlemen, who arrived here bv tho 11:35 o’clock train, reported that the Wood peckers crowd (the negroes) wore in tho court house surrounded by the other faction, but no more fighting had occurred. They confirmed the news of tho killing of Sheriff Jim Garvey and ex-Sneritf Jake Biakecoy. The town is crazy with ex citement, the women and children being at homo while the men are down town. There Ls but one light burning in the whole town, and that is at the hotel. The riot was pre cipitated by a ‘Jaybird’ walking through the town with his Winchester. He was arrested nnd put iu jail. The fighting soon began. The dead sheriff and ex-sheriff were “Jaybirds.” A young mulatto girl was killed by acoident. All wa3 quiet at midnight.” ALL NOW QUIET. St. Louis, Aug. 17.—Dispatches have been received by Gov. R ss at Austin, Texas, stating that everything i3 now quiet at Riohmoud, but they give no additional particulars of the fight and add uo new names to the list of casaulties. The troops at Bonham and other places have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to more at a moment’s notice. A LULL AFTER THE STORM. Richmond, Tex., Aug. 17. —There has been a lull after yesterday’s fighting and everything is quiet. The Woodpeckers re treated to the court house, carrying Judge J. W. Parker and Deputy Sheriff JMas m, who were wounded, with them. They are supported by the Houston Light Guards, who arrived to-day twenty-five strong. There is no one to hold an inquest on the bodies of Sheriff James Garvey ard Sheriff Blakely. The Jaybirds are in pos session of the streets. Henry Frost, their leader, is slowly sinking from the effects of last night’s wounds. The negroes are panic stricken, and eighty or ninety of them left town to-d iy on a train. MAY BE IT’S ELIXIR OF DEATH. A Big Scars Follows Experiments at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Aug. 17.—Doctors have de cided that May Steele, named in recent telegrams, has blood poisoning. He will sue for $5,000 damages. Felden Wei re, the first mail who experi mented here with the elixir, and whose wonderful cure was telegraphed broadcast, is in bed again. Great hard lumps appear where the incisions were made, and he it delirious. Dr. Longfellow, who made the first experiments, in a published statement says he has lost faith in the elixir, and that a local paper paid all the expenses of his experiments for the first news. Dr. Langorgmck, the chemist, who prepares nine-tenths of all the elixir used here, says it is dangerous if used after an hour, anti rank poi-on after two hours. The scare amounts to a craze. There are reports that the workhouse physicians have experi mented indiscriminately with frightful re- SAVANNAH, GA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 188!). EUROPE'S BIG COMBINE. ENGLAND’S CAPTURB MARKS THB ALLIANCE INVINCIBLE. Russian Papers Predict That Bis marck Will Now Proceed to Settle Scores With Russia and France— Kmueror Francis Joseph Leaves the Pope to His Fate. Copyright ISB9, by the Net o York Associated Press. Berlin, Aug. 17.—While the emperors have been holding receptions, reviewing troops, banqueting and generally perform ing tho decorative roles associated with im perialism, some moment ous practical work has been don 6 by the diplomatic ami mili tary chiefs of tho alliance. Prince Bis marck’s prolonged conferences with Count Kalnoky and Count Szechenyi embraced questions relating to Hervia anil Bulgaria, the Cretan rising and tho threatened disturb ance of tiie amity between Austria and Italy over the position of the papacy. FRANCIS JOSEPH YIELDS. Emperor Francis Joseph’s friendship for the pope mid his recent personal pledges to prevent the Italian govenuno:it encroach ing upon the Vatican, combined with Sig. Onspi’s opoulv exprejsed resentment at Austria’s interferon e, appeared to make Rr.nce Bismarck’s efforts toward restoring the entente difficult. With his usual tact aud good luck, the chancellor has arranged the quarrel, at the cost of the Vatican. Emperor Francis Joseph, whoso individ uality, never strong, li is been evidently weakened bv his reeont ntlliouons, has sub mitted to Count Kslnoky’s representations and abandoned independent support of the pope. As soou as Count Kalnoky secured a free hand to renew the entente with Italy he threw tho weight of Austria’s in fluence on tho side of tho Crispi policy in order to stop the pope’s negotiations looking to his leaving the Vatican. A HINT TO SPAIN. Count Dubsky. the Austrian minister to Madrid, was instructed to advise the queen regent and government against encouraging the pops to seek an asylum in Spain. The Austrian minister to the Vatican at the same time was ordered to recommend the pope to rely upon the friendly intentions of Kiug Humbert. Count Dubsky’s commu nications have not been well received in Madrid, but its the face of Austria’s deser tion tho pope’s departure from Romo is im possible. ITALY’S GRIP ON THE TREASURE. Signor Crispi, encouraged from Berlin, has sent- tho officials of the Vatican private hints that the Italian government would not permit the papal treasure or Vatican art objects to leave It :mi. It c raid not prevent tho pi po’s personal departure, but the con tents of the Vatican must remain. Prince Bismarck must have counted the cost of his unfriendly diplomacy toward the Vatican balancing tiie increased centrist hostility against tho weakening of the tripie uJlianco. Ho preferred an intensified feud in the Center party to the risk of losing Italian co-operation. A NAVAL AND MILITARY COMBINATION. Gon. Back’s interviews with Gen. Von Waldersoe and War Minister Du Vernois resulted in a military convention whin l associated with tho Italian convention, completes the plans for a naval and mili tary combination in event of war. Al though no official warrant is given for the reported absorption of England into the alliance, the language of the semi-official press ju-tifles tho inference that the British government has agreed that their naval aud military forces will c >-oporate with those of the alliance in representing anv wanton disturbance of European peace. RUSSIA. LOOKS FOR WAR. The question now become! prominent how the league will use its tremendous strength. Russian papers, recognizing the formidable character of the league, predict that Prince Bis oarck. having formed tne mightiest coalition overseer, will hasten to settle scores with Russia and France. T e leading official organa of Berlin an l Vienna breathe language of general good will. The North German Gazette rejoices over tho strength of the alliance and its ability to must any eventualities from the east or west. Tue t'remdenblatt trusts that a perman ent poaca is secured, und boasts that the allied powers are ready to face any emer gency . RUMORS OF DISARMAMENT. Sensational rumors of general disarma ment pervade diplomatic circles. The om peror’s visit to Strasburg, it is expected, will be sig laitzod by sour) declaration re lating to peace or war. It is said that tho emperor will announce a project for tho limitation of European armaments, threat ening as aiteri.alive ge era! war. The fact., however, do not accord with this ex pectation. MILITARISM NEVER STRONGER. The spirit of militarism was never stronger in the emperor and the imperial circle. It is more liko’y that the emperor’s speeches at Strasburg and Metz will be out spoken warnings to France to cease nour ishing dreams of revanche. No note of peace was heard in his brief utterance yes terday at a banquet of the First Dragoon Guards in celebration of tho anniversary of the battle of Mars-le-Tour, in which the regiment distinguished itself by a brilliant charge. After Princo Albrecht had proposed the health of the Quoan of England as honor ary chief of the regiment, the emperor, drinking to the regiment, said that if fortune called tho German army to operate on tho same field, he was sure of victories rivaling in luster its former achievements. TUE VISIT TO ALSACE. The emperor and empress remain at Bay reuth until Tuesdav. Cmnt Von Walder seo and Gen. Du Veraois will accompany their majesties to Strasburg. Prince von Hohenlohe, governor of Alsace-Lorraine is preparing to give his imperial visitors a grand reception. The students and Alsatian peasant girls will participate, and twenty burgomasters from tne chief towns of Alsace- Lorraine will be present. A reception will be held in tho palace on Wednesday. This will be followed by a review, state dinner, municipal fetes and illuminations. A heartv and spontaneous welcome is cer tain In Strasburg, which fc now German ized. French is rapidly fading out. AN OVATION AT METZ. The imperial party is timed to reach Metz on Aug. 23. There will bean ovation there. TLo French, who are dominant, rigidly taboo the Germans. The emperor designed to visit the Duke of Melalngen at Liehenstan on the way back here. The duke’s morganatic marriage with the actress Franz, now Freifau von Holdberg, prevents tne visit. The czar’s coming i* still doubtful. The emperor will remain in Berlin from Aug. 25 to Sept. 5, when he will start ou a tour to witness the maneuvers of the army. The czar may postpone his visit until returning from Copenhagen. Confusio* has arisen from the changes in the czar’s humors, and the emperor’s programme has been settled irrespective of the czar’s programme. Tho papers generally approve of the condemnation of Gen. BouUnfer. The Post denies absolutely tten. Boulanger’s state- mont that he obtained a l>*t of German spies from the German embassy, and says that such a list was never kept at the em bassy. ENGLAND WANTS THS BARTH. The German Colonial Company Com plains of Encroachments. Berlin, Aug. 17.—The German Colonial Company, at a meeting to-day, resolved to appeal to Prince Bismarck for protection against England’s encroachments i:i Africa and urge him to find meaus to put an end to the present state of affaire. In tho resolu tions adopted reference is made to the seizure by tho English ad miral at Zanzibar of Dr. Peters' steamer, the Neera, and to the damage done to Germau traders by the Niger Com pany, and the persistent efforts of the En glish companies to acquire sovereign rights in tho territories adjoining the German set tlements. The speakers ail protested that no feeling of hostility toward England was entertained, and that the action of the German colony was taken solely iu defense of Ger man rights, which had been violated by the Eughsu trading coinpauies.

NAGLE TAKEN TO FRISCO. JUDGE SAWYKR GRANTED A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUB. The District Attorney Raises a Ques tion of Jurisdiction and the Judge Remands the Prisoner to Jail Until Next Thursday—Mr*. Terry’s Divorc* Case Not to Be Retried. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 17.—1n July the supreme court of California reversed ti e decision of the superior court in the Sharon-Hill-Tei ry divorce case and re tuauded the case for a now trial.
