WEST POINT , Nob. , Juno 0. [ Special to
Tun llEB. | West Point UM had another
win shot by thu city marshal. Last nigut at
11 o'clock City Marshal Alex Sims shot and
killed JOMO Undurwood , a hongor-on at the
liouso of prostitution run by MO&RIO St.
Clalr.
JCKSO Underwood , alias Jim Davis , the de
ceased , was an agent In the house ol prosti
tution run by AIopRlo St. Ulalr. About
two months ago Undorwood was
arrested by the marshal on the above
cluiree , and secured his conviction ,
and since then Undciwuod hm been waiting
jor r.n opportunity to "do up thu marshal , "
Underwood was considered a bad man on
general principles , and bclnt ; an exception
ally well uovclnpcd man , people somewhat
foa rd him. Last evening trailers culmin
ated by Underwood and bis mistress , Maggie
Bt. Glair , maulng the rounds of the saloons
nnd making dlro threats apalnst Marshal
Blms. About 11 o'clock tno couple wont
to their resort , when tbo marshal heard
Df their capers , and proceeded to the huuso
to arrest Underwood. A llKht ensued In the
front room In which the hanging lamp was
uncalled nnd matters upset generally. In
tlio scramble Undorwood throw the marshal
flown nnd was choking him. The marshal
bas but ono hand and being ot slight
build was not ciipablo of grappling
with lih powerful assailant. The
marshal begged Underwood to lot , loose
tils grip on his throat , that bo need
not shoot him. but this was bis opportunity
to carry out his threat of vougeaucu , and ho
was Improving It.
'Iho maribul saw at a planco it was simply
a question of who would bo killed flrst , so ho
pulled the trigger of his 8a-callbro self-cook
ing rovoluer nnd flred , the ball penetrating
Undorwood'i abdomen lust two inches
to the right of the navel. The
ball was afterward found Just
nnder the suln m his back , it
having pone through his body. This shot
dm not phnzo Undorwood , but bo continued
choking Marshal Sims , when Grant Nohgh
appeared on the scene and dragged Under
wood off the marshal and oul of doors.
All this lighting occurred In the front
room. Once out , the light was about to bo
resumed , as Underwood started again for the
marshal. Sims thereupon fired another
shot Jrom his revolver Into Undorwood , the
ball striking him near the heart. The latter
turned back and passed through the house to
the rear of the building , where ho fell uncon
scious and so remained until bo expired.
Sheriff Gallon was upon the scene immedi
ately and picked UD Iho limp form , and to
gether with William Brolllngor and your
correspondent sarriod the the body Into the
liouso upon a bed , where ho expired at mid-
nlijht. Just torty-llvo minutes after being
shot. Ho never regained consciousness.
Underwood's mistress , Mngglo St. Ulalr ,
who was present at the shooting , went into
hysterics and fainted a do on times. In a
short while two women from another house
of prostitution came In and consoled her , and
Inter on took the hysterical female to
their bagnio.
Public feeling Is decidedly with City
Marshal Sims , as ho has boon making a good
rccora In keeping the inmates of the houses
of illfumo within proper bounds. Underwood
was a young muu and a giant In physique ,
but was a moral lopor.
M. J. Hughes was Immediately appointed
temporary marshal and took charge of the
city marshal and cared formaltcrs generally.
Sheriff James 11. Gallon took churgo of the
body until morning.
The coroner's Inquest completely exonor-
alcd Marshall Sims for Iho killing.

town a small number of zealous people
decided to put up a Young Men's Chrlb-
tian association building. A committee
was appointed , and they sent for a con
tractor to undertake the work. When
ho came , the IIrut thing ho did was to
inquire , in a very worldly and matter-
of-fact sort of way , into the financial re
sources of the organization. The presi
dent replied : "Never fear , sir ; wo arc
sure of funds ; the Lord is on our side. "
"That Is all -very well , " replied the ron-
tractor , "but I want someone that 1 can
send the sheriff after if necessary. "

FIGHTING WOMEN.
An OHIclnl Account of the Ainnzoni of the
KliiRof Dahomey.
M. Jean Bayol , who has figured as the
representative of France at the court of
its majesty , the king of Dahomey , says
ho Now York Sun , furnishes us with
) robably the flrat trustworthy account
.hat . wo have over had of the famous
amazons of that mighty monarch. The
entire military forced of the king
imount to about 22,000 only. The
amazons number 1,500. They nro ro-
crultod among the daughters of the
chiefs , and also among the young lady
captives" his majesty. Their uniform
consists of a jacket without sleeves ,
very short trousers , and a tunic ,
Their capa are ornamented
vith a piece of embroidery
pprosontlng bomo beast or rep-
, ilo. the crocodile being the favorite.
IMioy are divided into two battalions
mdor the command of a distinguished
ady renowned in the country for her
deeds of daring and her skill In killing
, ho enemies of her sovereign , The
amazons accompany the king when ho
joes to war , and they fight under his
orders til ono. Their courage is above
iroof , and tholr ferocity , according to
\I. \ Bayol , surpasses anything that can
bo imagined. Ho witnesscd'tho human
sacrifices at Abomoy , and hero is his de
scription of the exploit of ono of the
Amazons :
" 1 saw a man brought in on an akoko ,
, ho baggngo carrying contrivance which
, ho negroes use in transporting their
calabash or their pots of palm oil. The
unfortunate man was bound and gagged ,
and a black cap covered his face to the
nose. Two big negroes carrying this
jurdon halted before the king , who
spoke to the mingan ( oxeeut oner ) . The
alter then asked the crowd of spectators
f it would bo u good thing to sacrifice
Lhis man in the honor of the memory of
tlio preceding monarch. The crowd
responded in the allirmativo , whereupon
; ho king declaredithat ho would send
iho man to liirf father. The execu
tioner then gave the doomed man
al sorts of messages for the
defunct king. Then the victim
was thrown upon the ground. An
amnzon about 20 years old advanced
boldly toward him. They wanted to put
lior to Iho lest fotvsho was a now recruit

Oliver Curtis Perry , the nerviest o !
modern robbers , has been sentenced by
Judge William Rumsoy , in Rochester ,
N. Y. , to forty-nine years and throe
months' confinement in Auburn prison.
Perry , it will bo remembered , hold up
a Now York Central express train last
February in the most approved style ,
directing the actions of Its conductor
and engineer nnd overcoming the ex
press messenger's resistance after a
liorco duel. Thou ho sought to escape
by seizing a locomotive and speeding
away pursued by an engine-load of
armed men on a parallel track. Finally ,
after a running auel for several miles ,
ho took to the country roads , holding up
farmers for vehicles und meals as ho
found use for thorn.
Perry pleaded guilty to live indict
ments. Deducting the full amount of
commutation for good behavior , the sen
tence will aggregate twenty-nine years ,
four months and twenty-three days. Ho
in 20 years old now , and consequently ho
will bo upwards of 05 then.
It is understood that Perry , despite
the advice of counsel , refueod absolutely
to plead guilty until ho had , boon assured
surod that about $300 In his possession
ut the time ho was arrested and the
whole extensive nnd carefully selected
arsenal should remain his individual
property. Thla rpquest was finally ac
ceded to.

Itcnt.ofu Drons Suit.
A curious . 'Ingnl controversy is re
ported as lllculv tto arise in Now York
through the bringing of an action to
recover tho.ront for'a dress suit. A
certain tailor /who lots out dross suits
at the rate of 32 per night furnished
ono to a mombor.of nn Artie expedition
encamped juatuiQwnt , or supposed to bo
within gun -ahot of the North Polo.
The explorer was tendered n reception
by some friends previous to his
departure , and In order to bo
clothed properly for the occasion
ho had to hire the suit in ques
tion. Next morning the explorer's
mother packed Iho.milt in his Saratoga
trunk , , not knowing that It wasn't hla ,
nnd ho took U up to the North Polo with
him. It has been used doubtless at the
principal blubber feeds nnd walrus hunts
to Impress the natives But now the
owner of the suit comes in with a claim
for 82 per day for rent of the eult , which
probably In the llrst Instance coat about
$20. By the time the explorer cornea
back if ho gets back on lime the
claim will amount to $702.
