At last no counts hia chances for recovery were very slim , lie ia ft young man about 10 years ol ago , who baa been with Lieutenant Kinpraan in the park throughout the season. The cauao of1 the desperate act was a sudden and unreciprocated attachment for a girl who passed through Livingston ns cno of a large caet-bound party. It is said the young man never met the girl until ho taw her in the park. Gen. Ilownrd is now in the park on a tour of Inspection. During nbout twenty-four houra alter the wound was administered it was believed to bnvo boon accidental , until young Howard confessed the facts Thursday. The ball pined through young Howard'n body below and to the right of the heart. The party ol excursionists mentioned above was composed of relatives and friends of the Howard fam ily , including Mils Ohaso , of Omaha , Whether youngHoward had over mot Mits Ohaso before or not It buing both affirmed and denied ho fell violently In love with her. She is about 22 years of age , qulto pretty , anil of very engaging manners , He was with her party during their stay iu the park , and paid her very c'.osa attention , which the mot po litely but with no great thaw of favor. Wednesday moininor last , after having been alone In Mies Chase'd company for a short time , younij Howard want to his room in the hotel , and a shot was hoard , which called his friends to find linn woundeJ. Ho eaid the shot was occidental , and [ ai stated , It wai to generally bsllevod until the day following , when he confessed that he Ind mode a decla ration of love to Mi33 Oaisa , that aha had failed to rniiprccato , and that in the heat of his disappointment ha had attamptad to take his own lllo , Immediately after the tragedy , Misa Chase , with soina of her friends started for the rail road and arrived in Livingston Thursday. From hero they want westward , nnd are now understood to bo either at Helena or Borne paint near there awaiting news. N General Howard is now with his son. S As will bo seen by the above , the caaa of young Howard was undoubtedly ono of at tempted suicide. The news was first given to the Omaha public in the columns of the BEE on Friday evening , the Information being ob tained at the army hea Jnuarters , where tele grams relative to the matter had been ro cetved from Gen. Howard. The first tele grams received intimated that the young man had accidentally shot himself , which was doubtless the view of the osa at first enter tained by Gon.iloward. It has for somotlmo bein known In Omaha society circloi that young Howard enter tained for Miaa Chasa a feeling more akin to love tban mere friendship. Borne , in deed , have openly osiorted that be was en gaged to her , although this , It may be , Is nothing more than n pton of idle gossip. \VASIlINGToN WAIFS.

An additional sensa tion is beinc ; attached to the Spanish German difficulty by the rumor giving Prince Bis marck's reason for the seizure of the Caroline islands.

Sullivan opened the fight this time with a blow which McCaffery artfully evaded. Mo- Caffery then made a fierce diive at Sullivan , which was dodied gracefully , but McCaffery gave him a resounding tap on the back of the neck as he recovered , which started a chorus of cheers. Another of the same kind set Mc- Caffery's admirers wild. A clinch followed , Sullivan getting another bio von McCaffjry. He then pushed McO Qery to the rope , when danger seemed imminent , but McCaffery clip ped away and the men wont ta their corners , iniBD BOUND , This was worse for McCaffrey. He struck out for Sullivan , but to no purpose , and In'the quick work that followed McCiffiey slipped down , Sullivan then began to push McCaff rey and the latter took up his tactics of run- ninRnway , bus finally made a stroke which Sullivan easily eluded. Quick as thought Sul livau closed on McCaffrey and pressed him down. Growing apparently vicious , he drova McCaffrey towards his own corner and puiho.1 him down across the ropes. Here some ono called time , and many thought the round bad closed , but the referee told the men to go on and they did , Sullivan driving McCaffrey over to his own corner , where the latter fell , either by Sullivan's blow or by tripping against the chair , and dipped almost off the platform. McCaffrey WAS more cautious atd closed with Sullivan , each delivering ihort range blows nf no force. After McOiffrey was pressed down the second time , time ex pired , FOUBTII HOUND.

Then Sulli vau atticked ; but McCaffrey ran away and the latter returned the attask , which Sullivan oicapod by hia favorite method of ducking. After moro play and no work , tlmo expired , SIXTH BOUND. Sullivan now seemed desperate , though It wan apparent that ho was growing weary , wbile McCaffrey was fresher. Sullivan closed and they gave a number of in-blows ncd separated. Sullivau kept pushing his adversary uround and when near the ropes they clinched and fell , HUlne Sullivan closed again , but this time McCaffrey getaway away without a fall and delivered n light blow on Sullivan , who sent a terrific blow back , but McCaffrey ducked and eicaped , and the time ot the tixth round expired , SULLIVAN DECLABID THE VIOTOB , Instantly there was a shout oil over the vast crowd , which by thfu time seamed to have swelled to 7OCOin honor of McCaffrey , whom they all suppjued had won the match He had stood up against Sullivan through six rounds and seemed able and willing to go on toafinlth , Ha was overwhelmed with con gratulation ? , wbile Sullivau was left to bo cared for by the stage attendants only. As tbo crowd understood the terms , it was a draw , and thus a virtual victory for the young Ptttsburger , but after some time , when three- fourthi of the people had started for the trtln nnd while tbo remainder were In loud diicuulon of the merits of the match , Mr , Muldoon m&do an announcement , which only a few heard , ( but tha referee had decided to give the uut.ti to Sullivan on tha ground tbut he made thegrctt- est number of points. This version was wholly inaudlbln at the press seat ) and var ious versions oi itv < re circulated , among others tbat it w.n because of a foul , Sullivan left the platform with no demonstration iu hi * honor , but McCaffrey' friends were jubilant , nutwithitandlcg tbercferto' * adverse decision , and they lifted bim to their shoulders and bare him amid the cbeeri of spectators to his carriige. THE DECISION WAS DKCJDEDLT UHVOFUIAB probab'y ' onlop to the doubtful underiUndicg if the terms. It wai generally supposed that Sulllvau wa > to knock McCaffrey out in six Jfm. lounris or los § , in order to win , and McCaffrey himself stated that until after the match wai over that bo thought so. Ho oven wanted to go on to a finish , but that was impossible , M Sullivan had left the pUtlorm.

On the contrary , he said at ono time , when Sullivan WAS getting up from thnir fall and had his back to h'm , cno of Sullivan's fi lends cried. "Look out , John , " bat ho told them not to be Concerned ; ho did not want to take nny ad vantage. McOtffroy bimtclf feels that ho is the virtual winner. Ho fought at 1C5 pounds and Sullivan at 105. Ho stood up through six rounds and vas willing to continue. . There were not wanting personi who decried the exhibition as a poor one. Snllivan did not deliver ono full blow nnd McCtflroy probably aggregated as many bits as Sullivan , but his lighter weight lade him appear weak in comparison with his antago nist , 'J hero is no que'tion that n popular v.to would have been dicUodly m his favor , While the spectators woto generally woll-bo- havod , there was several fights and ona that dined a general stampadc , but without seri- om icsults.

There was un claim of a foul on bahalf of Sullivan , by himself or any ono for bim , nnd the referee did not at the tlmo c ll retention to It. The decision , therefore , seems to turn upon ( cicntific pointc , the very thing to which Mr. Sullivan would not rmoo. It Is generally understood that ( ho conditions were tbat Sullivan was to knock Mc-Caffroy out in six rounds , if not fOnor , the latter clause being expressed by the words , "or to finish. " The whole matter of the conditions is in a muddle , no two persons understanding them the same way , Sullivan appeared none the worse for wear this evening , McCaffrey , who presented an excellent appsnranco to night , did not have much to say about to-day'd contest.
