. A Dog and Cat Fight.
Coal Valley, W. Va., August 23.—One
of the moat remarkable fights in the hit-
tory of sporting events in the country oc
curred here this afternoon. It was a fight
between a wildcat, caught in the adjacent
mountains and owned by T. L. Montgom
ery, and the noted bull dog Cuff, the prop
erty of Joe ltobinson, of Charleston. The
fight was for $750 a aide, and was a terrific
one from the beginning. Kvery tra n
brought people, ana when time was called
fully eighteen hundred people were on the
ground. The light began at twu«*Yloi k in
a pit, in the edge of the village, where all
could see the contest. The dog on being
put into the pit was eager for the fray, and
sprang boldly at tho cat, that seemed to
sulk in her corner, purring viciously.
The cat met thp dog atid
slapped him sharply in the jaw. A
regular rough-and-tumble scramble fol
lowed for seven minutes. neHfcer gtthnng
much advantage. The second round
showed but little variation from the first,
savs that the cat appeared to ba growing
irenzled and ferocious.® The third round
was a repetition of the second. In the
fonrth round the dog sank its teeth in the
cat’s side, but the hold being bat skin
deep the cat jerked away. This seemed to
iufuriate the lynx, and with indescribable
fury it attacked the dog. fighting him all
over the pit, tearing his bide and lacerat
ing his face. The dog fought pluckily, but
could not catch a hold, and the round end
ed in four minutes. When time was called
the cat was freehand eager to fight, but
CufT backed to hia corner and could not
be forced out, and the cat was declared the
victor. The cat weighed twenty-six and
the dog tweuty seven pounds.
A match between a cat yet to be caught
and a noted dog for $1,000 a side has been
arranged to take place as soon as the cat
can be esptured.

ffAsntHGTOK, Augu«t SI.—Some time

“ads in those Stales. The special agent
-ho has been superintending the survey
in Colorado, in a report to the com mis-
mer says eight canes havo been found

K 6 cd of Scotchmen. An examination has
a made of tracts containing respective
ly one hundred square miles, tweuty five _
lj ai re miles, sixteen equara miles, seven- over the pit, tearing
if fire square miles, and the agent is at
wesent examining a tract containing over
one hundred square miles. Ail of these
ire under the control of Prairie Cattle
Company, and the agent says are illegally
faceiin. The officials in the land of-
g, M ys the practice ol illegally fencing
Uref.trscts and making fradulentientries
has been areater Tbo past year than ever
before. They claim that between 5 000 0U0
and d.000.000 acres are now illegally fenced
and that several millions of acres are
(raadaiently entered. Complaints from
settlers are being received daily by agents
and at the land office here. Settlers say
the cattle men are driving them away and
taking from them lands which they have
tettled upon. One of the land oflfee offi
cials, in speaking of the subject to-day,
•aid that if the practice is continued the
cattle men will nave the entire control of
thirst public lands in the United States
within twenty years. Relative to fraud
ulent entries of land, a land agent in New
Mexico informs the general land comtnls-
•ioner that of the entries in that Terri
tory 00 per cent, aro fraudulent. Another
•rent in Dakota, writing upon the same
•abject, says that 75 per cent, of
the entries are fraudulent in that
Territory. A table completed yesterriav
for the forthcoming annual report of the
lard commissioner shows the number of
fraudulent entries that have beeninvesM-
rVfJ during the past year, and approxi

acres in the various States and Territories
to be as follows: Arkansas, 70entrie*;

Derides the cases embraced in the fore
going table, there are about 500 entries on
which action has been suspended until nn
elimination can be made by special
agents. These entries will average about
ISO acres of laud each. Acting Commb-
lioner Harrison says that no doubt there
are thousands of other fraudulent entries,
bat that the office can only investigate
those which are brought to its attention by
settlers and others.

Richmond, August 27.—In the House ol
Delegates to-day. Mr. l’ollard, chairman oi
the committee on finances, submitted the
report of that committee on the investiga
tion of the Planters and Mechanics' Rank
of Petersburg, which recently failed, and
the statue of the State funds deposited
therein. Tho report, after giving the vari
ous de)>osits made in the bank and other
details connected therewith, says the
amount due the State on May 15,1881, was
$135,373. The committee find that the
money ot the State deposited in this
bank was so mingled with other
funds of the hank and so used as
to make it impossible for the committee
In the time and from the sources of evi
dence at its command to ascertain the
precise use made of the identical money
so deposited. The greater portion ol the
deposits seem to have been transferred to
tho Chase Natioual Dank, of New York, or
left with the First National Dank of Rich
mond, and to have been ultimately paid
out through these Danks. While thecom-
mitteo have not traced the identical State
money deposited in the bank into the
hands of any individual, they' find
that the books oi the bank show
what most strike the mind as a startling
fact.that with acapitul stock of only illu,-
550 the enormous snm of $111,810 hail been
allowed to be drawn from the bank by
overdrafts at the time the bank closed its
doors, in addition to very large sums pre

bank, which had been covered by notes
upon which no security had been required,
and most of which notes are nUerly worth

was $300,000 due upon notes and
bills receivable. OI these assets
a very large proportion is
represented by notes oi people hopeless
ly insolvent and supported by no security
or by insufficient security. Among these
are Boiling A Co., a call loan for $10,000;
Governor William K. Cameron, sundry
notes, $31,.00; Inge A Mahone, $8,800; 0.
Ferkinson, over $5,000; Thomas Whyte,

Davis, Drake & Co., $300; Stratton A
Co., of which firm Edward Whyte is
the only member, $58,000: C. W. Speer
about $30,000. The committee says that
Gov. Cameron and Gen. Mahone have paid
tho amount of their overdrafts to the trus
tees since the affairs of the bank have been
laced in the trustees’, bands. Senator
laines has paid $4,000 of his overdraft of
$6,000. Nothing has been paid on the
amount dne by Gov. Cameron upon
his notes aggregating over $30,< 00, bnt
trustees of the bank hold ns
collateral $50,000 oi Southern Tele-
ph Company bonds, worth perhaps
,000, and fifteen shares ot the stock of
the Washington Improvement Company,
of unknown valne. It is proper to say
that these collaterals were considered at
the time the loans were made to liovernoi
Cameron good for the amount of his notes,
but have since greatly depredated.
The committee fnrllier says lhat it Is a
Igniiicant fact, and opa which h
been satisfactorily explained to them,
that the above named parlies
who were permitted in such an
an extraordinary manner to overdraw
their accounts and receive enormous loans
from the bank without sccnritv, were Re-
adjuster-Coalitionists, except Edward
Whyte and bis brother.
The committee are not satisfied with
Governor Cameron's statement ns to the
security which should have been required
from the bank before the deposits were
made. They arc in donbt as to which
I* the more culpable, -to have failed
to require bonds oi indemnity before the
deposit of any of the State’s money or to
have cancelled the bond executed tor
money which remained at the time of the
surrender in the bank and which now re
mains due the commonwealth, and which
will prove a loss of 50 per cent, or mote of
the tame. The bond now in the posses
sion of tho treasurer will provo almost
wholly unavailable to the State as security
for the large amount oi public funds upon
which the bank haa defaulted.
The committee have not yet ascertained
that any person is liable to criminal prose
cution for tho conversion ot the Slate's
money deposited in the bank. In conclu
sion the committee state that their inv.s
tigation of the affairs of the bank demon
strates that it was conducted with reckless
disregard of the interests and rights of the
State and other depositors of the bank;
that its funds seem to have been placed at
the disposal of a coterie oi political favor
ites, who were allowed to consume ibe
money of its depositors without stint and
without security, or with inadequate
sc. urltv; and that in the conduct ot its at-'
fairs its managers present an example of
shameless profligacy which deserves and
should receive the unqualified condemna
tion of the representatives ol die people.
The committee feel that their duty would
not be discharged did they fail to express
their disapprobaUon of the dealings of the
chief execudw of the commonwealth srllh
this bank-first, in tsking a bond in a
small amount for Use protection o( the
State and in accepting large favors
from the bank (borrowing large sums on
security of doubtful valne), and finally,
when the bank waa almost coerced to close
Its doors by reason ot the recklessness and
dishonesty which characterised its man

managers, manifett no concern over the
September election? in Vermont and
Maine. They hold that aa both State* are
certain to go Republican by decided ma
jorities, there is no necessity of putting in
any more work there than is required to
get out the regular Democratic vote. Un
less the Republicans roll up phenomenal
majorities the Democrats will be satisfied
with the outcome of the September con.
tests. Their experience four years ago,
when the Fusionlils carried Maine in Sep
tember after a very hot fight, ha* taogut
them that a great expenditure of strength
in the early States is apt to hurt more tbau
it helps in the final result.
The men who are Governor Cleveland’s
most trusted advisers here believe that the
victory in Maine in September. 1880, sim
ply alarmed the Republicans and aroused
the “grand old party” to extraordinary ef
forts in the October States, and they do
not intend to repeat the mistake this year,
even if they could. They expect Governor
Robie’s majority will be between. 12.000 to
15 000, figures which they do not think
will be regarded of special tignificanee,
coming from Mr. Blaine’s own State. Onio
will be the special batlte-ground. There
the Dcmosratic campaign will bo managed
by the same men who achieved tbe elec
tion of Governor Hoadly and S nator
Payne, ‘and the same tactic* that were, so
successful last year will be followed.
Assurances have been received here from
Governor Hoadly. Colonel Payne and other
leading Ohio politicians that the Demo
crats will surely win in October. The more
sanguine put the majorhy at 15,000, but
conservative estimates do not exceed 10,-
000. Tbe letters from Cincinnati and
Cleveland say that the Republicans are be
coming alarmed and are making plaintive
appeals for money. The Genua:*, element
is a cause of much uneasiness on the part
of the Republican*. Unless affairs take a
turn a large part of this clais will go with
the Democrats, and in such numbers as to
make a Republican victory almost impos-
s.ble.
Forty-Two T®eth Removed From n 5‘n

Bridgeport Augast 24.—A wonderfal
case of calcareous formation, in which the
medical fraternity is highly interested,
came to light Unlay in West Haven. A
little eighGjrear-ola niece of Mr. Court-

skin. The child held up tbe tooth for her

touched it fell out. If was about the size
of a small kernel of corn, white and too
hard to he cut with a knife. Another new
tooth instantly filled the freshly opened
cavity, and that in turn with eighteen oth
ers wcie removed by the mother.
At this juncture she became alarmed and
sent for a physician.' He shortly arrived
and removed twenty-fonr more, making a
tot si of forty-two. Doctors say there have
been cases of three or four teeth following
each other in quick succession, bnt never
has such a wonderfal case a* ♦ his come

without that nomination the American

would withdrew in bit favor. Pomeroy
was present at tbe Prohibition

’ New Yota, Augnst 27.—Tbe controlling
Interest in the Brunswick and Western
railroad of Georgia has been purchased by
and at a meeting of the board
believed sunk one of their own torpedo
boats. Tbo bombardment is described ns
of the most sickening character. Tbe
Chinese fleet lately on the Min river, with
tbe exception of two ships, has been blot
ted out. No surrender was allowed to
sinkiog and disabled ships. Their guns
having been silenced, they were shelled
for tours. Admiral Courbet opened
t 2 p. m., and the Chi
nese replied almost simultaneous
ly. The dockyard arsenal fired
immediately with only partial success
The eleven vessels forming the Chinese
fleet were mostly light river and coast
transports, and were really toys. The
French had eight heavily-armed ships,
namely: the Volts, Dugey, Trouin. De-
lainlng, Arpic, Vlptre. Loux and Villars.
Several Chlneso gunboats maintained a
bravely desultory fire for about a quarter
of an hour, when the survivors ot their
crew3 esesped overboard. Tho combat
wa' practically finished in seventy min
utes. The superior French artillery made
the contest, after disabling tbo Chinese ves
sels. no fight It was a massacre. This 1*
the opinion of every spectator.
Two gun boats, carrying eighteen ton
gnn*. of the Chinese fieet, fought well, one
■inking near the English man-of-war
Champion, while the other, stationed above
the junks, midti i grrtnl etsrtrt The Frtfteh
kept up tbe fire on the arsenal, tho neigh
boring buildings and villages until 5 o’clock
in tbe afternoon, altbough resistance from
the shore batteries 'ceased about 3 o'clock.
Borne French and Chinese ships were
engaged in close proximity to
the English rnen-of-war Vigilant
and Champion. At d o'clock Bunday even
ing three burning gunboats floated down
the stream, one carrying tbe Frqpch
colors. Xuracro'.;- fire junks, blazing in a
dangerous manner, imperiled the Eoglish
raen-of-war. but wero fended off. One
English bark laved by the English
men-of-war. The French torpedo boats
exploded the sterns of the Yong Tootraii!*-
; .ri ui.d -,‘sWo n.nking gunboats. Tbe
»cc-nea on the ritrr a* the dead and wound
ed floated by were terrible. Tba English
saved many of the wounded. Tbe forts
