TAIE GREAT coming fight. 2,000 Spectators at $15a Seat. ' New Orleans, July 1.—Sullivan’s! friends received word this morning that j Sullivan has strated for the South. Sul-., livan will spend Friday and Saturday } at the Spanish Fort where preparations j are being made to receive him. The 1 twenty-fourfoot ring or square in which • the great fight will take place will be ’ surrounded by another ring at a dis-tance of six feet, and within this will i be seated representatives of the press, j the seconds, bottle-holders and a cor-don of police. Outside of this will be' another ring at a distance of forty-five ! feet, within which those holding $15 j tickets will be seated. The police will, also guard this ring both on the inner! and outside allowing no interference with the fighters or seconds. A pas-sage will be formed to allow them to enter without jumping oyer the ropes of the outer rings. Prof. Dennis F. Butler has been given the superintend dency of the construction of the ring. The ropes used in the Sullivan-Ryan fight at Misssssippi City will also he used in the coming fight. Captain Jamison of Meridian, with twenty reso-lute Mississippians, will have charge of the inner ring. In addition to this special guard, there will be a re-inforce-ment of forty tried men from this city, who with Jamison’s guard will preserve order. So far notices have been re-ceived that parties have been made up to come to the fight from Hazelhurst, Vicksburg, Greenville, Memphis, Jack-son, Tennessee; Galveston, Cairo, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Pensocola, Jacksonville, New York, Chicago, Montgomery, Denver Mo-bile, Birmingham and St. Louis, about two thousand in all, to date. Betting men are still wary, hut there is no end of interest in the fight and New Orleans is now affected with the worst kind of athletic fever. Much curiosity is expressed as to when trains are to leave the city for the battle ground on the morning of the fight. The time has not yet been difinetly settled, but it is believed that an early special tfain to carry press reporters, backers of the men and interested parties will leave the city between 4 and 5 o’clock on the morning of the fight for the' ring site. Attached to this train will be in all likelihood a coach carrying one of the principals in the fight. It is thought this one will be Kilrain, who will occu-py the coach during the night and not leave it until he gets off and shies his castor into the ring. Arrangements will probably be made to have Sullivan his trainers and seconds to go over the evening before, it being thought that quarters quite near the scene of the fight may be obtained where the big pugilist can have a quiet night's rest. These arrangements are being made because it is not thought desira-ble to Have the two men go over on the same train. When the first train goes to the ground all the details will be perfected and everything gotten in readiness to have the pugilists fight quickly after the arrival of the excur-ionists. The train proper carrying spectators will probably get off about 6 o’clock in the morning. The scene picked out, it is said is not on the rail road track, hut it is not far enough to make it difficut to reach. The fact that there are several spots on the line of the road in several parishes set at rest all doubt as to police intefenng. If there should be any indictation of interference by the officers, an event not likely to occur, the train will move on a piece further. Jack Burnett, Sullivan’s representative, this morning received a telegram from Mr. James M. Cruder of Richmond, Va., stating that he will leave immediately for this city. He also telegraphed that he had $20,000 which he would like to place on Sullivan. He would be willing to lay $2,000 against $800. Twenty-five cars had been engaged for the day of the fight, but from present indications fully ten more will be needed. A par-, ty of twenty-five sports will arrive from Denver this evening. Birmingham is sending a delegation of one hundred to the fight. Monthly Cotton Crop Report. Memphis, Tenn., June 30.—The regular monthly crop report for the Memphis district, which embraces west Tennessee, north Mississippi, north Arkansas and north Alabama, to be published to-morrow by Hill, Fontaine & Co., will say : The weather during June has been in the main unfavorable for cotton. Complaint is general of too much rain, and crops are badly in the grass. Stands, as a rule, are very irregular. Early is good, but early planting of cotton was affected by the drouth which prevailed during May, and the result is that fully ore-half of the crop is late, generally about two weeks later than last year. The stands, taken together with the lateness of the crop and the unfavorable weather that prevailed during the month, make the outlook anything but favorable for the cotton crop. Alvarado Sends Delegates. Alvarado, Tex., June 29.—Pur-suant to a call published in the Bulle-tin, a citizens’ mass meeting was held at the opera house this afternoon to send delegates to the couvention called by the manufacturers’ association of Dallas, to meet in that city July 8 to consider the freight rate question. The chair was filled by Col. Tom Har-rison and F. B. Baillio was secretary. The following gentlemen were appoint-ed delegates to the Dallas convention: G. C. Fahm, Ben Barnes, J. M. Hill, R. A. Parker, Tom E. Ross, J. L. Col-lins, I. A. Patton, H. R. Jones, Arnold Claunch, C. C. Cosgrove, C. A. Gard-ner, Alex Bryant, W. A. Hauchin, B. B. Ray, Ed Campbell, T. A. Pankey, L. B. Trulove, M. Lawson, R. A. Rid-dies, William Platt, T. W. Harrison, A. J. Brown and F. B. Baillio. Ox Cart vs. Railroad. Honey Grove, Tex., July 1.—The Honey Grove mill and elevator compa-ny has contracted to put fifteen wagons and feams on the road to deliver the products of the mill to the neighboring of Ladonia, Petty, Windom and other places, because they can secure a lower rate of transportation this way than they can over the two lines of railroad running from this city east, west and south. A Lady Killed lu Austin. Austin, July 1.—This morning Mrs. Johnston, wife of Dr L. B. Johnston, a well-known physician of Austin, went to make up the bed on which she slept. She jerked one of the sheets and a pistol which she always kept under her pillow fell on the floor. It was discharged, the ball striking her in the abdomen. She died in great agony three hours afterwards. All Active Volcano at Last. San Francisco, July 1.—News from Susanville in Nevada says slight earth-quake shocks continue and that people have become so accustomed to the con-stant trembling of the earth that they pay no attention to it. These shocks, however, harve revived the recollections of old settlers who predict volcanic dis-, turbances in extinct orators, such as toox place in 1850. Susanville lies in a high mountain wild valley east of Lassen Butte, an extinct volcano 10,- 500 feet high. From its summit no less than fortyj extinct craters can be seen. A cinder cone which rises 100 feet above the level of the plateau was in eruption in 1850. Two prospectors visited it and they found that Lake Salefarato, eight miles south of the cinder cone, was a center of volcanic forees. The lake was a mass of boil-ing water and mud and from it vast columns of flames shot up at intervals. The timber in the vicinity was on fire. Within two years there has seemed re-newed activity in the internal fires, and the present shocks have proven the possibility of another volcanic outburst which will find vent through some old crater. Played out. Dallas, July 1.—To-day the Dallas ball team had all their fines remitted, received their pay in full and were re-leased. This was caused by a lack of patronage and encouragement on the part of the citizens of Dallas. All the season, with the exception of Sunday games, the attendance has not been sufficient to support the club. The re-ceipts in most of the week day games were not sufficient to pay the guaran-tee. The hackers of the club, in view of the lack of interest shown, felt that they could not lnnger stand the bur-den, hence they paid every dollar they owed and quit. Come Back to Stay. I?. T.

For the joy we feel to-day, As we meet again dear comrades, Along life’s dusty way. Emotions strange and tender, Within each are stirred, As we clasp your hand,dear comrade. Our eyes are strangely blurred. We seem but a shattered remnant Of that brave and fearless band, Who marched unflinching to face the foe When dangers thronged our land. We fought with Lee and “Stonewall” Undaunted and undismayed, We marched right into death and down, We Texans—the Ilood’u brigade. We meet. Not with streaming ban-ners; Not in warlike fierce array; Not to strains of martial music Adown our lines to-day. Back from our glad horizon The war cloud has been rolled, And peace with her snowy banner The north and south enfold. Oh, in one common brotherhood We rejoice with joy to-day, And the angel Peace is folding Heroes of the Blue aud Gray. Gone is that dark and bloody war, That erst our history wars; Gone is the fierce and angry strifo- We have only left the scars. On the vineclad lulls of Virginia, Whose stately summits rise, And the lofty peaks of its mountains grand Seem nestling against the skies. Our camp fires gleamed with ruddy glow ’Mid the darkness so profound, We little heeded our hardships there, As thesongaud thejest went round. Like the echoes of far-away music That sings in the rustling pines Comes the memory of fallen comrades That ’round our hearts entwines. Our heroes fell at Gettysburg, Seven Pines and Malvern Hill, On the blood-drenched field Manasis, And the battle of Gaines' Mill. Lambert, Carter, Marshall, Ryan, And brave Warwick,all went down They are stars of undiminished lustre Gleaming in our Southern crown. They are camped on the plains of glory; Tney are bivoaced in the skies; And high o’er the ramparts of heaven Their peans of victory rise. Brave heroes! their foes are van-quished, They linger refreshed in the shade, They are waiting the signal that ushers Th6 last of our old brigade. We’re nearing the portal, comrades, That leads to that unseen land, We shall have our glad reunion When we join that hero-band. Oh, if from the dear, kind father Not one of our feet have strayed, We shall hear the joyous greeting: “Welcome! Hood’s Brigade.” Mistaken on Law. Editor News : The correspondent of the Galveston and Dallas News at Austin, has an-nounced, that in the event that the Supreme court sustain Judge Key’s decision in the suit of the State vs. the I. & G. N. and other railroads, an extra session of the Legislature will be necessary to formulate and submit a constitutional amendment to relieve the settlers on these lands. The con-stitution provides the manner and time for its amandment, and by a pe-rusal of Art. 17. Sec. 1. of that instru-ment it will be discovered that a called session has no power to formulate or submit an amandment. Section 1. reads: “The Legislature at any lien-nial session, by a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each House, to be entered by ayes and nays on the Journals, may propose amandments to the constitution, to be voted upon by the qualified electors etc.” Therefore no amandment for the relief of these settlers can be submitted prior to Jan-uary 1891, when the Legislature con-venes in regular session.
