Nearly six tons of stereotype pistes from which the objecllonaola books bad been printed were taken from the vuulta under bis priuting office. Vt hen the caae came to trial, Judge Sutherland dismissed It.

Tbe attentiou of tbe Rev. A. J. F. Behrends, then paatotof the Avenue Church, waa called tu the subject, but no action waa taken, by either him or lay membere.

Mr. Corn-stock kspt the ease before tb public, however, by describing It In hla testimony before the Lec-Islatlvs Committee on Crime. Mr. Holuitn wrote to the President of Mr. Com.tock's society deii) lug tbat be bad any knowledge of the character of tbe platet that bad beeu sailed lo bla place of business.

"1 did no type setting, stereotyping, or proof reading," said be, "and, therefore, could not possibly have soy knowledge at to tbe reading mailer of these pistes; aud osrtalnly It was lm-posalbla for me lo know anything of tbe character of tbe stereotype plates In tbe vault, not having aeen tbem or bandied tbem from the time they were placed trier." 1 be President turned this letter over to Mr. Comstock. wbo replied to It In the H'Krwst: "He wa never tried.

Mr. Comatock held the iiuinlun that these facta were convincing. Mr. Holtnau replied In a piloted circular. At tne beginning of this summer tbe subject waa preeented to tbe Warburtou Avenue Church, and a committee wa appointed to Inveallgate.

I'pon their repurt a arcood committee of ssven waa empowered to determine what courae tbe church should pursue. A fortnight ago tbe committee made a report declaring tbat the purity and bouot of tbe church demanded th withdrawal of the band of fellowship from Mr. Holuiau." At thla meeting all except me libera of the church were excluded; but the members attended largely. The chuicb was without a Baator, and a laymuu presided. Mr.

kid ward right, editor ot tue aVKimlrier and Chronicle, a member of tbe church, took au active part In the proceedings. A. F. Decker, of Weslcott's Exureas Coinpsuy, defended Mr. Holman lu an address which lis rsad before the meeting.

He admitted the printing by Mr. Huliuan, aud tha bad ch racter of the books out be argued that, at tbe lime Mr. Holman contracted to print from the plates In question, printers were not as careful to examine lolu the character of work as tbey havs been tluce the strict Isws that now exist have beeu enforced, ihe pay which Holman recelvtd wss very moderate only for work don during inor than three ysars-not at all In keeping with the suppuj tlon that Holman knew he was taking a rl.k.

Tb Philadelphia polite were aware of ths oom-Ing Ocbt. but tbey did nothing szctpt to telegraph to tb Nw Jersey authorities. At tiSO tbl morning th party wars safcl lndd at tb Psnnsvllls wharf, and made a half hour'a walk to a place near tb Salem highway.

In one corner of th enclosure, beneath tbe sna.le of hemlock tr, tha stak war driven and the ring waa prepared. Colyer waa the first to appear, and aa he atpnd over tb rop wee loudly cheered. He waa aoon followed by Walker. Weeden, and Clark. When the men stripped their rare muaoular development excited prolonged applause.

Walker, especially waa In One condition, and he eat down oath grass to wait, confident of vlotory. Oormley. a Philadelphia aport, waa aelected at referee, and Weeden, who won the toss for choice of position, turned his bsck toward tbe east, and wnlted for the word. Ilofore the signal waa given, however. Walker approached Weeden and offered to bet 060 on the result.

Weeden quickly not-noted tbe proposition, and In a few seconds they were squsred for the fluht, both h.ivlng declared before enterlug the ring tbat they intended to win or die. At the signal for the flght to begin the man approached eaoh otber and receded so often ande made eo many felnta before a blow was struck tbst It waa evident tbat each feared tbe prowneea of tbe otber. When thle had continued for about flfteen mlnutee. Walker let fly ble left and atruck Weeden a blow on the left cheek, but lu aeeklng to follow up his luck he was repaid on tbs left eye, Tbe flesh Id tbe region of tbst member swelled almost perceptibly, and notwithstanding that Walker tuo-oesded tubeequently In Bgbtlng Weeden down against the ropee, (hla waa tbs worts than of punishment.

In round af tar round tb hesvy blow from Wal-ker'a pouderoua Bate fell with terrible effect uuon tha head and body of bla opponent, aad Weedro'a frame quivered more than once. He etood up. however, under the fearful punishment, and seemed to have fur bla only object the cloelng of Walker's evee.

With unerring aim he now and than eticooeded In planting blows of gre force upon tbe iatter'a forehead and chaeka. and soon the heed of tbe wretched pugilist began to resemble anything but a human Gradually bis eyes were closed, and bis desperate blowa went harmless Into the air. Completely helpless to guard stralnat th punishment which VSeeder heaped upon him, Walker was at length, In the seventy-tilth round, knocked sonseless and bleeding Into bis own corner. Every effort to arouse him from his stupor failed, and Collyer was at length compelled to throw up the sponge. Tue crv of To the boat 1" dispersed the crowd in a twinkling.

Tne brulisd and bloated body of Walker was left to the sole protection of bla second. Collyer employed a wagon, however, and took tbe senseless body aboard oos of tne boats tbst lay In walling. When tb mob arrived at tbe main wharf, where wa fastened the Creed more eutter, upon which a majority of the roughs bad found pas-saga to tbe Bgbl, tbe Sheriff of tbe oounty wet found to be lo possession. He had assumed position on tbe gangway, and waa backed ana surrounded by a poass. A rush waa mads for tbs Sheriff, and In leas time than It takes to writ It, both fee and bis jposoo were dractrsd from tbe outter snd but tlea from the wharf.

Tbe orowd ruabed aboard lb boat and Indulged in a free Bgbt among tbemseivea, while efforts were being made to disengage tb craft frm th chain and bawaer wltb whlcu lb authorities had bound it lo the Jersey shore. At tbe pruepact of tb entire party sating each otber up, tbe portly Sheriff relumed to the barf aud Indulged lu Immoderate laughter. A melon thrown troin the boat struck hlin. and, exasperated, be drew bis revolver and Bred luto tbs boat. His assistants cams to his reaoue and Bred too, and soon the air waa gleaming with pistol barrela.

Tbe flnut waa returned from tbe boat, and from the number of Jersevmen who limped away the marksmanship of the latter must have been deadly. Tbe boat, however, waa towed out of range of tbe shore, aud then the roughs turned their alteutlon to one auoiher aud fuughi like bulldogs all ths way up th river. lhatmany were dangerously Injured, the array of broken heads that arrived at Arch atreet wharf In tbe afternoon bure sufficient evidence.

Early ibis evening the dead body of Walker waa found at the aalt wharf at Greenwich Point.

The greatest excitement prevails throughout the city, and eapeclallv in sporting circles, not only on account of the Immediate result uf the flght, but because of so order wblcn baa beeu Issued to the police directing tbe arrest of all persons conuected wltb the affair, either aa sscunda, bottle bolder, referee, or spectator. Among th latter were several prominent politicians and Philadelphia lawyer. Corouer Guddard, wbo waa privately Informed of tue catastrophe, aud from whom, for aome uuexplalued reason, the police kept all Intelligence of the affair, paid a visit to the house of Walker's paieuta, iu the southeastern section of ths city. He found tbe corpse lu the secoud atury.

Walker, whose real name la Koata, predicted that If he lost be would be killed, and expreaaed hla determination tn die lu the ring rather than surrender the flght.
