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.

To the Citizens of Waco.
This being a very unusually wet season and
the hot weather being now upou us, it is abso-lut6ly
necessary ana I hereby enjoin and urge
It upon yon to cut down, pile ana burn all the
weeds on your premises and vacant lots and to
keep your premises thoroughly clean. There is
a sanitary ordinance in ful.1 force in the city
compelling you to do so, and every day's vio-lation
of the same makes you liable to a fine of
from $10 to $25 for each day complained of.
I shall make this the last call. The city will
clear the streets and alleys and if the citizens
do not have their premises in a good sanitary
condition within the next ten days I will en-force
the law to the letter and no guilty person
shall escape. Very resnectfully,
A. Rinciimax, Mayor.

FOR THE REUNION
Of Hood’s Brigade at Waco June
. 27th, 1889.
BY MRS. M. E. WHITTEN,
Hurrah for our glad reunion!
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.
