"Everybody iu ibis city and section
knows how the wresriing match came
about between Prof. L. S. Gearhart
of New York;and Mr. Edward Dacey,
of Atlanta; how Gearhart pubifaietl a
card announcing that he would meet

subsequently taken up byDac^y, of
Atlanta, claimed tliat. .
Anyhow; a match was arranged and

able speculation was made as to who
would fcim
EverylK^ly was banking'on Prof.
Gearhart until tbe arrival of Mr.

had se^nhiln there waa not so much

But last Light at Wiiliazbim’i EUH
checDUtest Was decided,
Ab'»ct one hundred and fifty people
were there qgl a more peaceable au
dience wouTCbe hard to find.
The opcnlug of the evening’® enter-
tsinment was a three two minute
round glove content between Messrs.
IkK Ilofmeyer an<l Ed Leigh Wight.
This ulforJed I«»t3 of amusement for the
spectators, but every body was impa-
t'ltnt for tbe feature of ti>e evening.
THE TWO MEN.
Mr. L. S. Gearhart was stripped to
the waist, wearing flesh colored tights
and v.'hire kid shoes. He was in the
piuk of condign and showed up well.
He was seconded by Mr. U. L. Jones.
Mr. Edward Dacey whs
also stripped to the waist,
wearing bl utk knee tights- and black
kid shots. It would be hard to find a
prettier specimen than he, the great
hard muscle* in his arms, chest and
•diouldeps standing out .prominently.
Lie was seconded by Mr.T. M. Nelson.
TIM?!
Re force—Mr. Wm. Lockett.
Time-keeper—Mr. R. E. Cherry.
Both men advanced, shook hands
and went to work promptly at 9:07
o’clock/ They played caiitiou3ly from
tho first, allowing no advantages to be
taken. Gearhart snatches Dacey to
his kntes am! falls on top, Dacey go
ing on his stomach. Then came the
excitenrmt! Uo*v they did tug at
each other!
Every muscle in their iron frames
bent to its utmost; First one way
then the otlnr, Gearhart employing
ev.;ry stratergy and eff >rt tq.place Mr.
Dauey’s shoulders on the fl *»r. Time
and again did he coma near succeed
ing when Dacey would sklllfu!—
!y bridge on li«3 head end
heels and land safely on his stomach.
By a mighty tff *rt Gearhart picks
Dacey up and throws him over hi
shoulder end the e is a terrib’e thud.
It came very near being a winning
fill but was not. Gearheart covers
him again, runs his arms under Da-
cey’s arms, one on either side of bit
neck and clasps his hands, forming &
complete “nehon.” Gradually he
wists Dacey to one side. This is a
fatal hold and Dacey must be thrown
But he struggles, manfully. Down,
down hegoe«until hissftoulders touch
the floor-end Gearhart wins the first
fa’! atnid
T REMEND jU3 APPLAUSE.
The first fall lasted seven minutes,
ft became evilect now that Dacey
Wes over-raa'ched and that Gearharr
must win. After a rest of live min
utes the two men enter for the second
bout.
This time Dicey lands on top and
is cheered, but tbe echoes had hardly
lied away, when, by pretty strategy,
Gearhart turned the tables.- fin seem
ed non) the worst for the previous
work and goe3 to work in earnest.
Twice he picked Dacey up as high as
his head ar.d let him fall, bat he did
not win. He still retains the too hold
and works manfully. Summoning
nil his strength for one great effort he
picks Daccy up In his arms, swings
him around and dashes him to the
floor, shaking the entire stage, Dacey
tell fiat on h‘s back aud did not move.
The referee rushed forward and saw
that the’ breath had been knocked
but came about
t»his feet Said:
Gentlemen l have lost the match
fair ami square and am satisfied.”
He was right heartily applauded.
The referee announced Mr. Gear
hart the winner and the crowd cheered
lustily. r _
The seqond occupied four minuter
And thus the greatest sporting ever
saw came to an end.
NOTES.
—Dacey said to the time-keeper sf-
t<w the second round that Gearhart
was the b-s:- 145-pound man he.ever
The services at the Baptist Church
Sunday morning in dedication of the
recently erected edifice were very Jn-
ttresting and imposing.
The programme as published in
Sunday’sp?sws and Advertiser was
carried out, the dedicatory sermon
being preached by Rev. E« B, Carroll,
the present pastor. “It was the effort
of the reverend gentleman** life,” was
the comment of nearly every one pres
ent,. and tbe close attention paid by
the large.congregAlion present to hi*
every nUeranc?, bespoke their appre
ciation of-his able discourse.
The singing by the choir was very
good, and especially were the solos
enj =yed.
There were no services at night on
account of (.here being no lights in
the church.

-Ntarix everybody thought that
there was some jockeying on the result,
that is, that the principles knew which
would win, but they were convinced
that they were mistaken. Two more
determined men never met in a con

—Just before time was called It was
announced that tbe choke or strangle
holds would be barred by re quest. At
this announcement Mr. Drcey said
that whMe he was willing to the b&rr-

that he did It reluctantly. Mr. Gear
hart said rhat-he was willing to count
them, but just here the audience voted
so. choke hold. .And It was a good
thing for Dacey;that they were barred,
or he would have fared worse than fee
did.
—Prof. Gearhart was so confidently
of victory after tbe first fall that he
wanted to make the match the best
three iu five falls instead of best two
ia three. Mr..Dacey objected.
— Gearhart surprised everybody by
the skliifnl and ea«v manner in which
he handled Dacey.
—Dacey looked to be^the strongest
man of the two. but foiled to show it
last night.

Among the numerous designs repre

painted hand-saw. Mr. Ball noticed
that the painter did not put any teeth
in the saw and it worried him. FinaL
ly he hit upon an idea. He wrote Dr.

had a j ?b of work for him. Tbe Doctor
responded with a Maud S. promptness.
A large crowd was present and the

YY’hile I am an Aliianeeman,” said
he, “I am a Democrat, and If I am to
choose between tbe Alliance and the
Democracy, I am for the Democracy
[6heers.J I am here to enlist my ser
vices for the Democratic party and to
6ght Third partyi-m, but I do not feel
that we should make tim a partisan
meeting.”
Capt. W. E. YVooten mode one of
his ringing speeches, eloquent, pointed
and patriotic. He was followed by
Mr. W. >V. Turner, who made one ol
bis characteristic efforts.
“THEM JONESES.”
Then come to the front Mr. S. J.

As soon as the Democratic club ad
journed a YVoeten club was fo.m-d
and the Hon. C. B. Wooten was unan
imously endorsed for congress amid
the cheere of the assemble<l throng.
Theory seems to be “Wooten and

The News and Advertiser takes
pleasure In calling the attention ol
the public this morning to tbe adver
tisement of Mr. R. L. Rachals. He
has, as was stated 'yesterday morning,
fold out his furniture bas!ness to
Messrs. T. P. Green and J, C. Maron,
and will in the future devote bis time
and attention to displaying one of the
handsomest lines of ‘musical instru
ments in the South.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bulllial their
home brightened yesterday morning,
by the advent of a sweet little girl to
bless tht nLin coming years.
Mr. and Mrs. J. *R. dcGraffenried
were also made happy by the arrival
at their home, of a bouncing boy. Sir.
deGraffenreli says he is & straiiht out
Democrat, and raised a yell for Dem
ocrecy the minute be caught the in
spiring light ot this section.
Wo«i:d t« Climbta;.
* Hon. C. B. Wooten; the Democratic
candidate for Congress from this dis
trict tS “In it.”
And he is in it largely—yea vari
ously.
Telegrams were received in the city
yesterday announcing the organiza
tion of a Democratic club iu Fort
Gaines on Monday evening last. Col.
YVooten was wired to attend this meet
ing and a general clamor seemed to
arise in hi9 behalf, but the telegram
never reached him in time.
He was at his plantation in Calhoun
county looking after planting, interests
and never received the telegaam in
time to be present*
However, the clnb was organized
and Wooten enthusiasm seemed- to he
tbe prevailing feature In the dub.
YVooten is getting there just like the
prophetic El*.
mole His Own CiotXic*.
For some time Mr. Beaardoin, the
proprietor of the Artesian City-Steam
Laundry, has bad Ellas Williams*
negro boy employed as a helper In ht*
business. *Last week Ellas was dis
charged by Mr. Beaordoin and as he
had overdrawn bis wages Mr. Beanr-
doin held some of his clothes for what
he owed. Bat Elias decided be want
ed to “sport out” Sunday, so be visit

Mr. YV. E. Hilsman is the proud pos
sessor of a splendid -picture of Gen.
Rohm E. I^e, on which there i3 writ
ten, the bold t-haractei istic signature
of the grand old warrior;
Tho picture was taken ju*t before
the General’s death, by Mr. Louis
Bend, a former clt'zTO of this city,
and was presented to Mr. HUsmau
focis jars sgo.
Mr. ^Bond was a student at" tbe
University ot Virginia when he took
the picture, aud it is interesting to
know how he’ succeeded in doing it.
He armed himself with a camera, and
with several other students 'marched
iuto the General’s private office one
day, aqd insisted that te consent for
the picture tpj*e made. Only one was
'taken, and when the fiLishingtoucbes
had-been made thcGe'n. very gracious
ly agreed to place his signature on the
photo. . ~
Mr. Hiftman thought tbe picture
had been lost years ago, but the other
day it was discovered, aufl .now, to
use Mr. Hilsman’-s own language,
“Millioos can’t buy it !’*
w ii!BtCitien Abroad.”
Mr. E. A. Eramerman, of this city,
who came over from Germany some
years sgo, made lots of fun for a crowd
yesterday by one of bis innocent In
terrogation.*.
Mr. Emmerraan is fast learning the
English tongue but occasionally words
are spoken in his hearing and to him
which he does not understand thor
oughly, but he is clever with it ail and
laughs at the j ikes, though they be at
his expense. ~
For instance yesterday morning
some one remarked in Mr. Emmer-
man’s hearing thru it wa3 probable
the first week of the present conven
ing uonrt would be devoted to the
civil docket. Mr. Emmerman wanted
to'know at once what they were going
to try Mr. Civil Docket for?
Was it a duel?
One of the principals says it was
not, but others say that it w^s.
Anyhow, the rapid shots heaid
across theriver about 4 o’clock yester
day created considerable excitement
oa Broad street.
Speculation was rife as to the cause
of Hits discharge of fire arms.
' A reporter of the News and Adver
tiser was soon on his way to
river and going to tbe steamer the
‘ City ot Albany,” anchored St the
foot of Broad street, learned the fol
lowing particulars Jrom Capt. 31. H.
R inse and Engineer E. R, Uatherway,
of the steamer:
It appears that abont one o’clock
yesterday afternoon Messrs. Palmer
and Holly engaged ia a tussle on the
boat In which Mr. Holly was worsted.
-Hol'y'lelt shortly after thi*, according
to Mr. Hatherwav’s version of the
affair, but returned in a short time,
dad made the remark that he knew
Palmer - was’the best man physically,
but that he (Palmer) could not out-
shoot him.
Mr. Hatherway says that Holly tried
to get him to arrange for a shooting
match . with Palmer, but that be told
Holly he would- have nothing to do
with it. Holly was chaffed considera
bly over his inability to cope with
Palmer, and as be still hung around
the boat, Palmer got wird of what
Holly wanted fo do.
Between themselves, says Mr.
Hatherway, they agreed to go across
the river and “settleit.” Holly armed
frmself with a pistol, while Palmer
marched over with a YVinchester rifle
as an offset. Capt. Rouse and Mr.
Hatherway saw them when they left
and awaited results.
It was not long before a rapid firing
awoke the still echoes of the river
swamp.
Just after this firing the reporter
reached the boat and gleaned tbe above
particulars from Capt. Rouse and Mr.
Hatherway.
But jost as the reporter was about
to leave Mr. Palmer showed up and
upon being asked what the shooting
was about said that he and Mr. Holly
went across the river to practice
shooting at a spot. He denied having
entertained the idea of fighting a duel
despite the evidence given by Capt.
Rouse and Mr.. Hatherway. Palmer
also said that he could prove by Hr.
Holly'that they did not shoot at each
other.
Dr. YY£» W. Bacon,, who was return
ing from aM*ft to'a patient across the
river happened a r opg just about t**e
time the firing started «and says that
he saw two men—he did not know
who .they were at that distance-
shooting at each other, and he beard
six shots fired in rapid succession, and
heard some of the bullets whisttin
through the bushes.
Some of the people residing at tbe
old bridge house said they saw two
men aertfes the river shooting at each
oilier, but they did not know what it
meant; '
The evidence goes to show that it
the men were hot fighting a duel they
were engaged on extremely dangerous
fun exere ise and that they displayed
considerable grit and nerve in using
human bodies as spots to shoot at.
Mr. Palmer was not hurt when the
reporter saw him, and he said Mr.
Holly was all right aiid would corrob
orate his statement that they fought no
duel.
But the question Is now, in the face
ot the testimony given, did they fight
a duel?
It certainly looks like it.
Further light will probably be
thrown on the case today and- the
News and Advertiser hopes tbat~
the gentlemen Involved will have no
trouble in extricating themselves from
the extremely embarrassing position
that they are now In.

LATER.
It was adneH .
After the above was pat in type
some new development? have come
to light.
Officer Kemp informed the reporter
at a late hour last night, that Palmer
had confessed to him that they did
shoot at each other, and showed tbe
officer where one of the bullets Ironi
Holley’s pistol grazed his leg. .Mr,
Kemp says that the skin was not torn,
only a blue spo?indicated the cause of
the' missle. Palmer also stated to
Mr. Kemp, that Holly sustained a
similar injury on the cheek, where
one of hU bullets struck, him. Palmer
says that he could not hit Holley be
cause he was behind a tree.
This statement of Palmer’s corrob-
erates with the statement of Mr. Hath
erway, a t the toat In the afternoon:
He says that be h-ard some one across
the river sayr “If you’ll come from
behind that tree I’ll hie yon L”
To this the response carnet “You
come up closer and 1’Jl hit you!’
Mr. Bob Brown, who clerks for*Mr.
Shackelford across rtee river, says-thst
he heard the same l .marks as quoted
by Mr*-Hatherway, bus* did no: know
who made them.
Ivappear* that Holley’s pistol was
not equal to the long range Winches
ter, which Palmer had provided him
self with, and consequently sought
the protecting trunk of a tree.
And thus it transpires that there
a duel fought near the city yes-
