NEW RAILWAYS. Mileage Completed During the First Half of 1889. Tst Railway Age reports from thirtyone States and Territories for the past Mix months show that the aggregate of new railway construction is 1,522 miles, distributed over 123 different lines. Of this amount more than half is credited to ten Southern States. An immense amount of new railway mileage has been planned and only awaits a more favorable opportunity for raising the necessary money. Much more would be built this year than is now possible but for the alarm which was raised in financial circles lest railway building should be overdone, and which caused a reaction that is now delaying the completion of many meritorious una needed enterprises. The estimate of now construction for the year is put at 3, 500 to 5,000 miles, as against a total of 7,100 miles in Nearly all of tin construction of this season is in the foTST of extensions of old lines, wnich are being added as the demands of business call for them.

the Board of Iniruiry, shows a total lotis of $7,894,664. The cases reported and not passed upon by the board will bring the grand total up to over $8,500,001). This does not include the losses of tbe Cambria Iron Company, the Johnstown Manufacturing Company, the Cambria and Westmoreland Natural Gas Company, or the churches. A special from Troy, N. Y., sny&: There are ropor;s that three big dams have been washed away near Johnstown, N. Y.t and that crowds of people got on the bridge to watsh the flood and it was carried away, and several people were' drowned. The prostration of the telegraph wires makes it impossible to communicate with Johnstown. A telephone from Johnstown says the town is in total darkness and nine biidges were washed away. One body has been recovered. The water is three feet deep in the town of Fonda. At midnight the rain is falling in torrents. The flood is assuming a terrible aspect, and mills and sheds are being swept away. An axle of a freight train broke at

Walls Station on the Pennsylvania Rail road, seventeen miles from Pittsburg. Thirteen cars wfre piled on top of the engine. One man has been taken out dead, and several others are known to have been killed. They are all tramps. The wreck caught fire and those imprisoned in the debris were burned. The famous Oneida community, established in 1834 by John Humphrey Noyes, at Oneida, N. Y., hns been engaged in litigation for some time, and a motion for its dissolution me de by Colonel George Hat before Keferee V. W. Waters, of Syracuse, N. YM on the ground that it is now conducted contrary to the intention ofjts original founders.

A collision of gravel and coal trains on the Pittsburg and Castle Shannon Koad occurred near High Bridge, Pa., four miles from Pittsburg. Thirteen cars were wrecked and six persons injured, one, it is thought, fatally.

Ujiknown Italian, cut and bruised ; will recover. The first three were stealing their way ';o Castle Shannon. Twenty Italian laborers were on the gravel train, but only one was hurt. The accident was caused by a mistake in orders. At Pittsburg, the Piev. E, F. Flemou, alias John Yeldell (colored), pastor of a negro church, has been arrested on a charge of murder, said to have been committed in 1886 on Edgefield County, South Carolina.

The feeling has been growing at Johnstown, Pa., that things have not been prop. erly managed relating tc the distribution of the large relief fund, and it has been intensified by the statement of Gov. Beaver that $1,500,000 has already been expended in the valley. The matter has been made the subject of an indignation meeting. Arrested the Pugilists. Upon arrival at Nashville, Tenn., returning from his fight with Kilrain, Sullivan and his backer, Johnson, were arrested on instructions from the Governor of Mississippi, but a few hours later were released on a writ of habeas corpus and continued their journey northward. Thi rermatt's Capture Tanra. A Zanzibar dispatch says Hie Germans have bombarded and occupied Tanga, meeting with slight resistance. Capt. Wi&sman is still at Pangani. One German was wounded during the bombardment. A Brave Mother Fumed to Death. At Clay Center, Kansas, Mrs. H. H. Olney, after rescuing her two children from her burning house, returned to save some household goods. She was overcome by the heat and was burned to death. An Ex-Congressman Dead. Ex-Coxgbessmax Edmtjxd Bice died of brain trouble at his home in White Bear, Minn. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. A o arm age containing Mr. Keating, a New York hat manufacturer; the mother of Joseph Ward, a New York shirt manufacturer and brother-in-law of Mr. Keating; Elsie Keating, a child, and her nurse were struck by an express on the Central Railroad oi New Jersey on Little Silver crossing, near Long Branch, N. J. The carriage was smashed and all in it were killed and their bodies terribly mangled. A cOMPliiATioif of the losses by the Johnstown (Pa.) Hood, reported and estimated, made by Sccre'.ury Dairies, of

the heart of the cry and had commenced to spread among the residences on the South Side. It was not until the main portion of the food for the fire had been consumed that there were anysigns of abatement. It is estimated that the loss will run up to many hmdreds of thousands of dollars. All oil the business blocks on Pine and Pearl uid Third, Fourth, and Fifth streets are consumed, excepting only the First Notional Bank building, Bloomer & O'Connor's dry-goods house, H. Gotzien's boot and shoe store, ono saloon, and one ge:ieral store. Over oae hundred families aie homeless, penniless, and with nothing L;ft save the few scant clothes with whic.i they escaped from the advancing flames. Help is badly needed in caring for the homeless victims of the conflagration. The striking laborers at Duluth, Minn,, the other day aitampted to intimidate a gang of workmen who would not stop work. Forty police were guarding the Sang of seventy men at work on a sewer rench when the mob of strikers attacked them. It is believed that the lirst shot was fired by one o?: the strikers, but anyway it was followed by volleys on both sides. The lighting lasted for half an hour, when Compaaiy K came to the assistance of the police and drove the rioters from the Streets. The list of dead and wounded so far as known is: Dead Ed Johnson. Fatally wounded Tom Rtzsimmons, George Peterson. Slightly wou nded Max Mack, Miktj Olson, George Coblia, William Benson, Lou la Nelson, Keveriu Nelson, John Shay, Edward Cummings, Kev. Uohl, Ham Martin, A. Talotor, hi, C. Langielen. Captain McLaughlin, Sergeant Clements. Officers' force Haydttn, lonoau, Kilgore. and Wolkoviak. Private 1'arrell. Ins business portion of Bakersfield, Cal, has been totally destroyed by lire, involving a loss of perhaps $1,250,000, 3n which there is an insurance of $300,000. The fire started in N. E. Kelsey's lew building, .which was in the block with the Southern Hotel. It quickly spread to the frame houses adjoining and then to the Southern Hotel. The fire depurtnient was utterly unable to cope with the flames, which spread rapidly, and before they had burned themselves out thirteen blocks were wiped out, including every hotel, restaurant, and business place, with all their stocks of merchandise and about forty dwellings. W. L. Eagijesof, a prominent negro politician of Kansas, is the prime mover m a scheme to induce the negroes of the South to emigrate to Okie noma. He has

.organized an immigration company, com

posed of some of tbe prominent colored men of Kansas, which will haves gents in all the principal cities of the South. He says he is receiving letters every day from people in the South, inquiring about Oklahoma and how to get there. He expects to have 100,000 colored people in Oklahoma by next July. At Chicago, Herbert G. Pearsons, a TOusin of Mrs, George M. Pullman, was drowned in the lake oif the foot of Thirty-first street while bathing. Mr. Pearsons was a retired millionaire from Idaho. At Kronsberg, 3), T a terrific windstorm demolished nearly every building and killed two children. The weather had been very warn, until noon, when tho tfind rose with wo:iderfui fury, striking the town at about 1) o'clock and sweeping a path across the county. It was so sudden that no ctlort to escape could be made,

and many injuries to persons are reported. Van Dusen's elevator was the first building to fall, and directly afterward the large barn of Dr. McKenney was struck and instantly demolished. The residences of Harrison Franklin and John Neuby next succumbed to the violence of the storm, and at length the residence of Benjamin Franklin and the blacksmith shop of Joseph Maxelbaum were leveled to the ground as the whirlwind passed away to the east. Maxolbaum was badly injured by the failing of his stop, as he had rushed in to save some property. Many other persons in the same town were" hurt. The two children ol a farmer just east of the town were killed. Judge Hoeton of Chicago has decided that in tho ca6e of a person caught in the act of violating an ordinance, and arrested, a warrant must bo issued before the offender is put on trial. Otherwise the conviction is illegal and the prisoner can be released by a habeas corpus proceeding. The decision actually touches tho cases of over two-thirds of the cases that arise in the Police Courts. It affects the status of perhaps nine-tenths of the prisoners at the liridewell. Under it those who were arrested "on view" and tried without a sworn complaint can be released upon habeas-corpus proceedings. The Attorney General has appointed John Y. Stone, Attorney Geneial for the State of Iowa, a special Assistant Attorney of the Department of Justice, to bring suit on behalf of the United States to quiet the title to the Des Moines River l.anojs and tosettle all pending disputes arising tlierefrom

It has been finally decided by the Department Commanders of the G. A. B. to cancel the annual encampment which was to have been held this vear during

the last week in August in Milwaukee, Wis. This resolution is but the carrying out in effect of tho threat expressed some weeks ago by tho Grand Army men against the different railroad companies, that unless a one cent per mile rate was granted the veterans would not hold their annual encampment. The a n s wer of the roa is was not satisfactory and the nine Department Commanders having charge of the matter will at once issue orders discountenancing the attendance of old soldiers to the Milwaukee encampment. The Department Commanders who have thus decide to carry out to the letter the threat made some time ago uro Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska. Kansas, and Wisconsin. The Milwaukee meeting will be held, therefore, purely as a business gathering of the 1)00 delegates instead of a grand soldiers' reunion. At Chicago, Judge Tuley decided the application of John F. Beggs for a writ of habeas corpus, denying the motion for the writ. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A Baltimore dispatch says Jacob Turner and Edward liantum, both colored, were drowned near Deal's Shore Spring. Fred A. A. Schuman, aged six, was drowned near Pearson's Wharf, Spring Garden. Nehemiah Hall, colored, aged twelve, was drowned at Gwyn's Falls. Willie Devoll, aged eleven, wrs drowned at Canton, and Richard Smith, colored, was drowned at the name place. Ox the 10th in st.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s week!

trade says: Business has bepn fairly main:" nme, and is gradually improving June was a month of exceptional! actionB. Prices of commodities, in

rist in some speculative markets, have on th whole f&llen during the month about 2 percent., and are now hardly 1 u per cent, above the lowest average ever recorded. But there are signs of substantial improvement in tho most important branches of industry. The monetary situation remains undisturbed, Reports from i uteri or points are gc nerally favorable. ColloctioiiR are nowhere seriously disturbing. The half-yearly return of laflures shows t, relatively larger increase in New England than in any other section abouii ilH per cent., aud next in the trans-Mississippi region, this side of the Kocky Mountains, about; liO per Dent. In the Middle States the increese has been but 4) per cent., thence to the Misnitisfppi about 5 per cent., and at the South about li1 percent. Against a general increase of 8 per cent, in number there is l decrease of 3 lA per cent, in aggregate liabilities. The markets nave not changed greatly during the broken week. Wheat is higher, owing to accounts of injury from prolonged drouth and heat in Dakota and UiuuesoCa; where heavy rains havs just

improved the outlook considerably. Other crop prospects continue favorable. 1'ork products are weaker, and dairy products are cominj; forward in immense quantity, so that prices are depressed. Leather does not change, but tho revised quotations of wool show au average advance of about one cent per poumL Tho price ol cotton has advanced three-sixteenths, in part because of scanty supply of de sirable grades The iron market remains strong in tone. The business failures number 202, as compared with a total of 215 the week previous. For the corresponding week of last yf-ar the figures were 214. Thomas Ewing Sherman, son of Gen.

Carlson, of Chicago, whose evidence v as required to complete the story of Martin Burke's alleged connection with Dr. Cronin's murder, was called to testify Alter be had been sworn he was asked. "Do you know the prisoner?" "Yes." Where is he?" "There," replied Carlson, pointing his hand directly at the prisoner. "What is his name?" asked Mr. Howell. "To me his name is Frank Williams," 6aid Carlson. That was the point the prosecution desired to establish, namely that Frank Williams aud Martin Burks were one and the same man. When Carlson entered the witness-box Burke hung his head, aud when witness pointed him out and stated the name Frank Williams, a deep flush suffused his face aud he looked like a man who was ashamed of himself. The witness proceeded to toll the story of how he met the prisoner in his father's house Ashland avenue aud subsequent interviews with him. The general store -ind dwelling of J. G. Byrd, at East Chezzeticook, Nova Scotia, was burned, A yonug daughter was burned to death.

SULLIVAN IS CfTAMFIOK KJXRAXtf DEFEATED BY BOgXOXS FAMOUS PUGILIST.

The Great Battle of the Giants at Richburg, Miss. Seventy-five Rounds Fought, Although the Contest Was Virtually Set tied in the Third Details of the Fiffht. The great battle for the championship of the world, $20,000, and the Fox championship belt, between John Ij. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain, was fought on the morning of the 8th near Richburg, Miss., and. was won by Sullivan in sevent y-five rounds, occupying two hours and five minutes, the sponge being thrown up for Kilrain Bt the end of that time. The battle

hardest ever fought between country, but from start to had decidedly the better did not prove to be

wreBtlor represented, for Sullivan threw as often as ho was thrown, and with far greater severity. The day was intensely hot, and this added to .he punishment of the men, John Fitzpatrick, of New Orleans, was the referee. He is an honest man, but he is not fully posted on the rules of the London prize ring, and he exercised great leniency toward Kilrain, who went down repeatedly without a blow, in the

big men in this finish Sullivan of it. Kilrain

the wonderful

JOHN 1j. 6T7IXIVAN. most deliberate manner. He equalized matters somewhat, however, by twice overlooking fouls of Sullivan, who (nice eat down on Kilrain 'a breaRt, and another time jumped on him with both knees. Sullivan had Kilrain completely whipped In the third round, although they foupht through seventy-two rounds more. Kilrain tried at the first round. & k-ud of tactic? which he should have known better than to try on ro heavy a man. He began to rush Sullivan and to wrestle with him in tho hope of winding the big feliow. The result was the other way. Kilrain threw the Boston boy in the first two rounds aud had him punished not a little. In the third round Kilrain sprang again for the big fellow and endeavored to clinch him. Sullivan threw his brawny loft arm around Kilrain' neck and with his ponderous right he hammered Kilrain s left side The spectators thought the awful blows of that brawny fist

wowa rupture tne massive mass or muscles which bound Kilrain's abdomen. Then Hinging the Baltimorean away, with his left SulUvan struck him just below the left ear. Kilrain then fell in a vain effort to repeat his performance of throwing Sullivan and falling on lum. Those blows settled Kilrain. When he was picked up and carried to his corner he said to Mitchell, his second : "Charlie, I am knocked out." The bluff English pugilist would not listen to the suggestion and for two mortal hours he forced the game young man from Baltimore into the middle of the ring to be hammered into a mass of aching fleeh. After that round Kilrain had no heart. He stalked lazily into the ring at the call ol time, only to be knocked down by Sullivan or to run away from tie huge fist which had wrought him already so much injury. At the fourth round, after dodging Sullivan's blows with every indication that it was fear, not pugilistic science, that prompted the man ceu vers, Kilrain made an attempt to fight as though he meant it. He landed his right on Sullivan's ear, and the big fellow, inured to pain as he was, fairly winced. Bun he was paid in most painful kind. Sullivan smashed right and left on face and neck and abdomen. Again and again Sullivan planted his fist on the place., now so red and Inflamed and sore, on Kilrain's left Bide, just below the short ribs. Every time Kilrain saw Sullivan's eye glance toward that spot he winced involuntarily. Sullivan saw the motion and followed up his advantage for all it was worth. Sullivan's two main points of attack on the body of his opponent were the injured ribs and back of the left ear. Blow after blow was rained on bcth these bruised spots and still Kilrain insisted, or rather his seconds insisted, that he should continue to suffer in the hope that by some fluke Sullivan might comrr.it a foul fund the 10.000 sto kes would be saved to hie backers, Kilrain's only honor in the battle was in the sixth round, when Sullivan's ear, which Jake had f.plit by a left-hand upper cut in the fifth round, gave forth the crimson blood and first blood was awarded to Kilrain. The sight, of blood! seemed to drive tho crowd crazy. They yelled and screamed, and jabbered, now at the fighters, now at tho referee, now at one another. Like the Boroan populace of old they had become drunk w th the sight of human blbod. But the honor was bhort-lived. Scarcely had the claim for arse blood been allowed when Sullivan caught Kilrain on the right ear with his right fist and Jake fell in a heap on his hands and knees. It was the first knock-down of the fight and was awarded to Sullivan. They came often er after that and they were all to Sullivan' credit. Not once did "Kilrain hit his man hard enough to make him stagger. Tho seventyrfifth round -ended the fight. It was 110 different from the fifty preceding oreB. Kilrain after many protests was forced to "he scratch by Mitchell and Donovan. He stood irresolute for a moment. Sullivan came at him like ft, mad bull, and Kilrain put up his hands in a listle&s sort of way. There was no suggestion of either attack or vigorous defense in the motion or in tine attitude. Kilrain then dropped his hands and tan arouad the ring, Sullivan following him with a smile of mingled malice and contempt on his face. He overlook Kilrain near Sullivan's own cornttr, struck him first on the neck and then in the fice. Kilrain fell, groaned, threw his arm over his face as if to ward off further blows. Then Mike Donovan, one of Kilrain's seconds, Tan over to where his prostrate principal lay and tossed in the air the sponge with which he had been bathing Kilrain's body between the rounds, and this was the acknowledgment of defeat. Oni? thing is evident. Sullivan is no match for Kilrain either as a wrestler or boxer. Give Kilrain Sullivan's immeasurable driving power and expanse of chest and shoulder and no man could Rtand against him. Kilrain's pluck and gameness was a theme of admiration for those w hot understand ring strategy and true endurance. Sullivan got in a fteice

blow on hia side under the heart, from which he

neve:: recovered. An ordinary man would have thrown up the sponge in the next round. Kilrain'3 seconds themselves acknowledged that the fight was over then, but with the indifference of a stoic and the pluck of a hero, Kilrain continued the unequal struggle and administensd many a stinging; blow to his adversary, and yet in spite of this, an indiscrimiuating crowd, mistaking cau ;iou and strategy for cowardice, yelled at Kilrain, calling him "cur" and "coward" when he sought to avoid Sullivan's blow by dodging, or when he tried to outwiud him by -retreating before him arouud the ring. It is undeniably true that alter the r..inth round, when suffering excruciating pain from this bruite under thn heart and repeated knocxdowLS, Kilrain did lav himself open to the charge of "foul" by falling down when not apparently knocked down. These fouls were re poatodly claimed, but never allowed by the referee, Kilrain's friends buoyed him up throughout the fight bv picturing to him the effect of defeat upon his wife and children. Juf.t before the fight the Sheriff of Marion County came and commanded the peace. Bud Henaud, the manager. replied smilingly: "That's all right, air. Sheriff; you have dote your duty." And then the fight went on. An inventory of the personal results nf tfce mill will show that Mr. Sullivan hat a uplit ea,. two black eves, swelled bauds, and numerous bruisen on his bodv caused by Mr. Kitrtun 3 fists. Mr. Kihuin ha a black eye, a broken nose, a split month, a split ear, and any number of bruises, and very probably internal injuries which may prove serious, Sullivan's repeated blows on Kilrain's ribs seemed to leave a permanent indentation in the man's body, and soon after the fight he b can to spit blood. On the car he was inconsolable over his defeat and would not be comforted. Big tears coursed down his cheeks and he cried like a boy.
