PELL , THE HQHTEB.
Ilia Noted Contestant of Hn.nloy now
in Now York A Munchauson
Narrative ,
Thcso who nro interested in sporting
matters will not fail to remember the
prize fight which occurred in this city last
April between Fell and Hauloy. A do
toriuinod effort was made to have both
men arraigned on the charge of prlzo-
fighting. Of the two , Fell managed to
escape nuil went down to Rich Hill , Mo. ,
where , surrounded by Ws rough
mining frieudo , fie could not
bo easily captured , though
the ahotitr of Saunders was sent in pur
suit of him. Hanloy , however , was not
BO fortunate , and is now nerving a three
year's term in the state penitentiary.
Fell ) after remaining some tlmo at
Rich Hill , drifted oat west , mot with
marvelous adventures , and finally turned
up in Now York. The story of his wan
derings is told in the Now York Journal.
"James Foil , a stranded Engllshjpugll-
1st , arrived In town lately , having fought
his way from Helena , Montana , to Now
York City. Ho walked out of Helena
on the railroad track , without a cent in
his pocket , and earned hla board and his
lodging on the way by fighting in every
town ho came to. In sovaral towns ho
fought for a stake of § 5. In ono town
ho fought for a purse of fifty-two cents.
On reaching some to ? rns ho would go to
the hotel and offer to whip the landlord
for his lodging.
At Salt Lake City ho defeated a Mor
mon in two rounds for a purse of $10
At Grcaloy , Col. , ho whipped a brakeman -
man for a frco ride of 300 miles on the
Pacific railway. The brakeman was a
noted rorjgh-and-tumblo fighter and a
great bully. They fought fourteen de
termined rounds , in which the brakeman
was terribly punished.
Mr. Fell fought cowboys all the way
across Colorado. He had a "actap" in
nearly ovury cattle camp , fighting for
everything from ton pounds cf jerked
beef to a mustang. At ono camp he
fought a Comanche Indian. The battle
lasted fourteen rounds , and in the last
round the Indian fought Fell into a cor
ner , drew a scalping-knifo which ho had
concealed upon him , and tried to scalp
the pugilist. Fell , who had punlohed
the Comanche terribly for thirteen
rounds , gave him a poworfal blow on the
neck which knocked , him out.
The stranded pugilist's method was to
go into a town and offer to fight any one
in It to a finish for from $5 to $25. In
every western town there were usually
two or.throo men who prided themselves
on being fighters. A crowd of men in
the vi'lagc ' bar-room cnuld generally raise
$5 by a general contribution , and the
fight would take pines near the town.
The science of the pugilist would tell
against the great strength and pluck of
his adversary , and after ho had
won the victory the crowd would
go away marvelling at his skill.
At Davenport , Iowa , Fell wont to a
boxing match Riven by Now York "hp- !
podromurs. " The men wore very bud
boxers and after they bad given an ox.
hlbition with gloves which had sounding'
boxes in them , onoof the "hippodromors"
cimo to the cdgo of the ring , leaned ever
the ropes , and offered atiy ono in the
audience $25 to stand up against him
four rounds.
Fell , who wts standing In the crowd
In a salt of clothes a llttlo the wono for
wear , went up to the stage , and entered
the ring. Ho "knocked out" the
"hippodromer" In ono round , to the
astonishment of everybody , and then
knocked the other boxer out , defeating
them both ia about five minutes. lie
bought a now hat and purchased a railway
-way ticket for St. Louis. At Rich Hill ,
Mo. , ho foughttwomatohes with Hughoy
HcManuf , each for a purse of $100 , de
feating him in both. "
A. Costly Mistake.
Mr. T. J. Shorb , of Paplllion , who
was In the city yesterday , lost his wallet
containing $500 In cam and
about $000 In notoj , besides valuable pa
pern. Ho went Into the pojtoflico to got
his mail , aid took oat the wallet , in
which was the key to hla mall box. After
lie 1ml taken out the letters , ho
commenced to road thorn , ant
in a fit of abstraction
laid hla wallet on a window sill. Whik
his back was turned some ono slipped up
and atolo it , aud when Mr , Hherb turnei
around ho was astonished to find that his
worldly wealth ( in part ) had taken to it
self wings and Down. A carofal search
was Instituted , though to no avail , Th
wallet was wobably stolen by some nn
scrupulous urchin hanging around th
rjoitoillcu.

Oscar Ii. Jcbo Arrested "Wrillo nt
"Work Yesterday , and Token to
Minnesota.
Some days ago the police authorities
received the following letter :
ST. PAUL , Minn. , January 23. 1885.
Chief of Police , Omaha , Neb. Dear Sir :
Inclosed I send photograph of Oscar L.
Jobo , who left hero in September last for
Omaha , and who , 1 am informed , Is still
in your city. Ho is rather small , a
butcher by trade , and is likely to bo
working for some butcher , making saus
age , etc. Ho stopped for a time in Sep
tember last at the Gees house , but I
think under nn assumed name.
Ho left owing clients of mine in the
neighborhood of $1,000 , and I wish to
locate him for the purpose of serving
papers , etc , in a civil action. Will you
please look him up for mo or turn the
matter over to cno of your officers or do-
teolivoj , and report to n > e by mail where
ho is and whit be i ) doing.
Please also return this photograph and
send bill for your services and I will re
mit. ALFRED S. HALL.
P. S. Say nothing to Jebe , if you
find him , about the matter. A. S. H.
Marshal Cummlngs at once began work
upon the matter and found that Jobo bad
after arriving hero In September last ,
gene to the Gees hotel , and thence to
lodging In South Omaha. A little
quiet detective work developed the fact
that Jobo was in the employ of Harris &
Fisher. Bo was arrested and turned
over to Mr. Hall last evening and will
bo taken to St. Paul to answer for his
criminal course.
A Now Blandatc ,
Marshal Cummlngs , in hla supreme
power and wisdom , has issued a new
mandate to the effect that no loafers will
hereafter bo allowed around the city jail ,
and that no persons except officers of the
law , roporters.nnd persons having argent
business , will bo allowed to pass through
the roynl gateway which leads to the
darksome depths of the city jail , barring ,
of course , the prisoners who may bo so
fortunate as to bo allowed to repose on
the cushioned divans and velvet
couches of the apartments in
the jail. To bring about this change a
section of the second door has been taken
out and a pane of glass has been put In ,
nllowing the inside guard to decide at
once upon the feasibility of opening the
door to such as demand entrance. The
circumstance which called for this wrath
ful mandate was the fact of n certain
loafer In the jail having overheard end
criticized a deep laid plot of the indus
trlons marshal to capture a Des Moines
croak. Ackerman , who was In the * city
and who TWBS Indly wanted by the Des
Moines authorities on a charge of rob
bery. The marshal had been working
for weeks upon the case , had finally
spotted his man and was about to make
the arrnst , when Ackorman , balng posted
by his friend , lied. And hence Marshal
Gumming has decided that the "loafer
mast go. "

ANTI-OONVIOT LABOR ,
The Mass Meeting ol the Workingmen -
men At the tilty Hnll Imst
Night ,
In response to a general call , leaned by
ho local trades assembly , a largo num
icr o ! workingmen assembled at the
ity hall last night to dtscusi tbo subject
i legislative measures to abolish the
ontractlng of state convict labor.
Edward Walsh was elected chairman ,
nd Col. llynes secretary.
Mr. Walsh made a short speech , on Iho
.ccosslty of co-operation in the matter.
. ' 6n hundred and tovcnty-threo slgna-
ures had already been secured to the
otitlon against convict labor.
Hon. William Turtle Avas next
allod upon for a speech , with reference
the bill which ho introduced in the
oglalaturc , as follows :
Bo it enacted by the Legislature of the
stats of Nebraska :
Section 1 , Tbo legislature of the stnto of
obraaka ahull not , nor sh H any otlior
uthorltyvlmtocr , renew or extend any ex-
sting or pending contract or ranko any now
contract for the employment of any convict In
ny of the prisons , penitentiaries or rofornm-
orlcs within this state.
Sec. 2. All acts nnd parts of acts Incon-
latent with this act nro hereby repealed.
Mr. Turtle addressed the mooting , and
aid that this morning ho was surprised
o learn that the committee to whom the
ill was referred would report against its
doptlon. Ho also learned that , contrary
o an express understanding , the committee -
mittoo had cat upon the bill in the
baonco of the best friend it had in the
ommittoo , and that ho had insisted upon
rehearing nnd gained a promise that it
hould bo had.
Boaa" Stout is using all his forces to do-
oat the bill , and is trying to start what
what ho calls a "workshop" at the Louis-
, 'illo stone quarries. The speaker had
lotlcod "Boss"Stout's convicts and found
ixty of them working in the stone yard ,
nd working harder than the laboring men.
E. W. Brubaclior , who has boon con
nected with the Jefferson , Mo. , state
irlson gave a tersa and graphic account
if the evils of the system of convict labor
as ho had Boon them. Ills talk was ro
iloto with points of Interest , and was
greeted with frequent bursts of npplauso.
John Qulnu was next called upon to
ixprosa himself on the subject. Ho said
hat the working people had learned ono
hing , and that is never to trust McArdlo
with any of their interests In the future.
? ho worklngmen of the city and coun-
ry must stand together and fight for the
ntl-convict labor [ bill until success
rowns their efforts.
Mr. Turtle then took the floor again
nd said that the bill was not dead yet ,
nd there were chances that it might yet
ass. Ho had found one member of the
ommittoo who had agreed to stand by
ho bill , and present , if necessary , a mi
nority report in its favor. That ropro-
entative's name was Mr. Cook.
Dr. F. S. Lewis addressed the meeting
n an eloquent speech , which was warmly
ocoived.
At this point the following resolution ,
ntrodnced by Col. Hynes , was carried :
Resolved , That the Hon. Pat McArdlo
o requested to support , in committee ,
ho bill , No. 02 , now Introduced in the
tate legislature by Hon. William Turtle ,
n relation to contracting the convict la-
or of the state.
A few short speeches were made by
thor workingmen present , after which
ho meeting adjourned.
POISON'S ' PATH ,

Swallows a Bottle of Laudanum.
At 10 o'clock last evening John Cassi-
[ y , a discharged soldier Hying at the
louse of Mrs. Rosa Smith , Sixteenth and
/umlngj streets , attempted suicide by
wallowing two ounces of laudanum.
Cassldy was formerly enlisted at Fort
) maha , but was discharged abont four
wooksago. Ho came hero some years
ago from Brooklyn , N. Y. , and bas been
lissipatod more or less ever since.
At the time of his discharge ho had $450
n the bank , and In the brief interval
ma spent almost the last dollar in drink.
Yesterday ho seemed very gloomy and
despondent , and early in the day bought
a revolver , with the avowed intention of
ending his life. Fuller , the policeman
in the Cumlnqs street beat , hearing of
be circumstanca went to him and
lied to persuade .him to give
up the weapon. Cassldy at first refused
o surrender it , but finally did so , turn-
iig It ever to Ed Qalnn , the saloon-
ecpor. Later , however.be purchased a
two-ounco boltlp of laudanum , enough ,
irdinarlly , to kill two men , and swal-
owed the whojo at ono dose. A com-
lanion , nho was in the room ,
once gave the alarm , and
nodical assistance was Immedi
ately summoned. Doctors Orowell , Ne

stomach pamp and every appliance was
icd to save thu man's life , but ho sank

A CONGIlESSIONAIj HUMOIUST.
HoW Representative Herr Achieved
Ills F iuo H the Loading Hu
morist ot Congress.
The great and in f\ct the only humor
ist of the present congress is the Hen.
Roawell G , Herr of
, Michigan , writes a
Washington correspondent. Since Proo
tor Knott , of Kentucky , tauudnlne _ out
of every ten people in the United SUtos
to smile and shake thttr tides with
laughter , and at the same time caused his
name to bo known and famous , Wash
ington had no Siraon-puro funny man uu
til Herr came along to fill the vacuum
Although appearances aio en his side
the life of a humorist , especially a con
greaslonil humorist , la not a happy ono
It has its drawbacks , , In talking with
a reporter Mr. Herr confidentially
admitted that bo bitterly regrettei
the ihy when cruel fate made him
tay some alleged funny thing in th
huue. Sines that moment to bai been
a "humoris1. " Since that moment also
ils life nas known no jiy. lliw's ropu
alien was iiwdo ono day In the Forty ,
sixth congress , when , is an unintentional
'tinny speech , ho advlssd tlia people of
tlta south that , If they wished to prosper
nnd become powerful aud respected in
.bis country and this ago they must "i.Mto
csj hell and moro hogs and hominy "
The remark brought down the houto nnd
ho galleries. The newspapers of tbo
'and published It nnd commented on it
'ar and wide , nnd , much against his will ,
lorr became R funny man. So wllh
Proctor Knott. He arose in hii seat in
ho house ono day to msko n speech
against spending money to improve the
isrbor of Dnluth in Minnesota , ( lion
about to become the terminus ot , a rail
road. Knott aroao In all cotiousnosa , but
icforo ho eat down had made ono of the
nojt remarkable speeches over
lolivored m the floor of concrcts
remarkable in moro wnys than
ono , It was forcible ; it was elrgant ; it
wis classical ; it was pootlcal and It was
rreslstably funny. Added to that , it was
IToctivo , and killed of the appropriation
t wai aimed at. Horr'a speeches on the
ontrary , nro not elegant , classical or po-
tlcal. They are often funny , and nearly
livaja forcible. Even to look at Herr is
nough lo make ono laugh. As ho stands
n the nlslo endeavoring to got the speak-
r's eye ho is an object to oxclto the
mntomont cf a mummy. About 5 feet
> incho tall , Horr'a Irgs are about ns
eng aa a boy's ' of 14. His etomacu , which
s a wonderful thing both in size nnd
hapo , runs out in front of him , as if it
were about totlp _ htm'ovor every moment ,
" 'hh stomach is a terrible thing for a man
f Horr'a slzo to carry ground with him.
t Is every bit ns large as the cclobratoi
tomach of David Davis anU the latter is
man G foot high. Herr has
luck gray hair , which stands par-
ccly * upr'ght from bin head His chin-
rhlskoH , also gray , stind ttraight
.own. In the middle aio hii fat , red
nco , Hat nose , pop eyes , and jolly smile.
Vhon ho talks his onlygesturo is a puinp-
miullo moiion of his right arm. The
ndox finger of Horr's right hand is broken
t the second joint , and as ho shakes it at
ho speaker looks every moment M if it
vero about to fall off. Herr is a man of
good , comfortable stock of brnuis added to
great amount cf hotso sense. Ho is an
inhfiitigablo worker and as honest as the
ay is long. Ihoto are also several mou
n the house of representatives arc
Capable of making bright , happy , witty
pecches , so sparkling , so deep and so filled
vilh keen , dry humor that such a man as
lorrwoald never seethe point at all.
Tot , all the same , Herr now Ins the belt
or being the funny man of congress. Take
ho case of "Sunset" Cox for instance.
3o and Herr once crossed blades in a
crco encounter - itli their tongues. Cox
avagely attacked the Saginaw lumber-
nan" one day , and the latter , who had
pent the night with Shakcspcaro , Mark
. 'wain , Artemus Ward and other
rionda , replied to him , Cox's speech
was delivered on the spur of the moment.
The fun was genuine , the diction elegant ,
nd the humor dry. Yet when Herr
rose and in his high , equoaking voice
allodCox a lot of silly names , and swore
Urn In as tbo hero cf several stile jokes
trhlch had been going the rounds of the
Imancci and the illustrated papers for
enra , the houao fairly yelled with do-
ght. The crowd was awarded to Herr ,
nd the wreath was placed on his big ,
at head. Herr is n good talker. Ho
las a voice which will reach the futthor-
nest corner of the largest hall. His
ooks and manner are entirely original if
lis words ate not. But the great thing
which in dobata always tnnia the scala in
aver of the Michigan humorist la his
ire-emlnont abili'y in tho'/direction of
urnlng the laugh upon his opponent t
n doing this the logic and sense of his
argument are often lost , but the
augh is S3 loud that this little
> oint escapes unnoticed. He
ras once making a fierce raid upon tbo
[ omocrats and their niggaidly policy of
cutting down the appropriations for the
matofficp department and thus crippling
he service. In the conrso.of his remarks
10 rushed over in front of Sam Randall's
leak and charged that the democrats
rhllo insisting on niggardly , oppropria-
ions , always took good care that their
own putioular locality was provided for.
' 'I deny that , " shouted .Handall , quick as
I'fluh. "I refused absolutely to assist
my own constituents from Philadelphia
when they asked for what I thought was
too much. " This iras a very consistent
oply , and would have stumped any man
) ut the funny Horr. His great faculty
came into play right there. "Well ! that
only shows that they were right and yon
worn wrong. " he shouted , and his big
tomach swelled out larger than over ,
nnd his fat face grow red as he joined in
ho awful laughter which sent Ilindall
isconcerted J > his soar. Yet to Handall
olonged all the credit of the little con-
eat.

'Tho advent of Iho dime museum has

appear to take the greatest delight In de
scribing they have witnessed at the re

written by a little girl :
" 'Not very long ago I wont with my

was twice as big aa both my trrandmoth-

than most anybody I over saw , except in

her diamonds were juiJ9 exquisite , and my
