The Rush for Tickets So Great After the Granting of the Injunction That the Price \Vas Advanced— Bets Blade of 3 and 2 Corbett—llfitchell's Body Guard. tolon JACKSONVILLE, Fla, J an. iii—The situa- tion this morning, the clay of the fight between Corbett and Mitchell, was one of great excitement. The permanent injunc- tion issued yesterday restraining the sheriff of this county from interfering with an entertainment in the nature of a boxing contest which the Duval club pro- poses to give on the fair grounds here, caused a rush for tickets, and the club members were busy until late last night and again this morning passing out the paste-boards in return for 32.3 in hard cash. So great was the rush that last night the price for special seats was ad- vanced to $33, and it was decided to com- pel newspaper correspondents to pay regu- lar admission. Early this morning the members of the militia were all quartered in camp, ex~ cepting one or two who could not be found. Several had very large heads, the natural outcome of too gay n time the evening before. All manner of rumors were still afloat last night, one which seemed to gain the most credence was, that now that the court had decided, or virtually decided in issuing the injunction, that the contest as proposed under the articles of agree- ment were not unlawful, GovernOr Mitch~ ell, would be represented at the ring, and just as soon as any fighting was at- tempted, other than tame sparring for points, the militia would be summoned and the fight stopped. in the event of such a move a. serious riot was predicted. Mitchell came to the city last evening and remained in his quarters at the hotel. iii; arrival caused the rumor to spread that the fight would be pulled off before 10 o’clock in the morning, before court \vas‘opzneql, thus balking the officials if they expected to have the injunction set aside. In rfont of the Vv’indsor and St. James hotels last night crowds were cOnstantly forming rings and paying young negroes to enter them and fight for the dimes and quarters which were liberally bestowed. in the corridors and verandas nothing but fight was talked and a big band paraded the street, proceeding a transparency an— .. nouncing the fight to take place Thursday afternoon. In the ofi‘ice of the St. James a telegram dated Tallahassee was posted, from which the address and signature were scratched off, which read as follows: . “Governor just left hotel saying that he would wire Lamar to act as he pleased. There would be no martial law as there was no invasion or insurrection. Lamar wired that he knew nothing further that he could do and he thought the fight would come off in the arena before the court could act in the matter.” This despatoh caused great rejoicing, but there were some things about it which indicated that it had been sent to order. Charley Mitchell said last night in his room at the hotel: “Corbett may whip me, but if he does he certainly will be aware of the fact that he has been fighting.” There was not an ounce of useless flesh on Mitchell as he stood up before the re- porter. His weight is down to about 172 pounds and his muscles stood out on his arms like whip cords. The betting late last night was light with odds ranging between 2 and_3 to 1 in favor of Corbett. A man called Buck Gallagher of Phila- del phia has been with Mitchell since last Sunday. The object of his hovering so close around the Englishman, it is ex‘ pluined, is “because he is a handy man to have around in case of trouble.” Corbett remained at his quarters during the night. The situation at midnight had become greatly exciting. Everybody seemed fight crazy, and many did not go to bed at all. Georgia Line Guarded. BRUNSWICK, Ga, Jan. 25.—The Bruns« wick light-horse guard, Captain J. S. Thomas, commanding, under orders from Gov. Northern, is at St. Mary’s [bridge on Florida Central road to-day to pre- vent the Corbett-Mitchell party from en- ‘ tering Georgia to fight. The Brunswick riflemen, acting under similar orders, are stationed at Cumberland island. Sherifi‘ ,Berrie, of Glynn county, is at \Voodbine, asmall station on the Florida Central road. He has twenty extra deputies with him. Captain Thomas, of the guards, will confer with 9. Camden sheriflf and moqe to any point -he sheriff may desig- nate. Admit They Were Tools of Howard. NASHVILLE, Tenn., J an. 25.—Th‘e 'four few York witnesses held at Jackson un- der charges of perjury in the Howard case have confessed that they were in veigled to Jackson by Howard, and that their testimony was such as he desired them to give. On the refusal of the court to grant the'supersedas pleaded for by Howard he was removed from the com- fortably furnished room he occupied in the Madison county jail to a felon’s cell and will be taken to the penitentiary at Columbus, 0., to-day. Pelxoto‘s Navy. NEW YORK, J an. 25.——The Herald’s Montevideo, Uraguay, cable says: The commander of the Brazilian fleet anchored here has received from Minister hienteiro President Pelxoto’s order to be ready to call next week. Their plan is to catch the rebel fleet between two fires, as Admiral Concalves will send down the rest of Peixoto’s navy from Pernambuco, and the two divisions will meet near Rio. Read the GAZETTE _ TROUBLE AHEAD FOR PECKAM. Hill Openly Declares His Intention 01 Opposing H is, Confirmation. _ WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. —— Senator Hill states Very frankly that he intends to de- feat the confirmation of Mr. Peckham, nominated to be associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, if he can. He is very confident of success and it is very probable that a number of docu- ments against Mr. Peckham will be laid before the committee at its meeting Mon- da . Monday is the judiciary committee’s regular meeting day, and it is not likely that in this early stage of the proceeding) — a. special meeting will be called to consider the case, with Senator Hill, a. member of the committee, hostile to the confirm» tion of the nominee. Several special meetings Were held on the Hornblower case, but that was after the matter had been considered and laid over at several regular meetings. The statement was made with some positiveness that during the last administration thejudiciary com- mittee laid down a' rule of action and communicated their determination to President Harrison that they would not report favorably upon the confirmation of any nominee for justice of the supreme court who was over sixty years of age. It seems so far as can be learned that this was an informal agreement reached sometime ago, and if it is to be revived now could be used to place Mr. Peckham under the ban without going further into the merits or the demerits of his case, as he was born January 1. 1833, and is there- fore sixty-one years'of age. All the members of the judiciary com- mittee are in the city. with the possible exception of Mr. Lindsay, of Kentucky, and the indications seem to be that no dilatory measures will be resorted to. Trenton Potteries. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 25.—The advisory committee appointed by the operative potters to confer with the employers re- garding the 10 per cent. cut in wages sent a communication to the latter declining to accept the reduction. A strike is prac- tically on, but the matter may be amic- ably adjusted yet if the cmployerspropose less drastic terms. Their scheme to re- tain part of the workmen’s wages with the cut in operation and to settle with them according to the tariff on crockery and earthenware as passed by congress is intolerable to the operatives. Less than 2,000 of the 6,000 Operative potters in the city are now at Work. Mining Troubles in Ohio. COLUMBUS, 0., Jan. 25.—Ten thousand miners have thrown down the gage of battle to the operators. They ,have re- fused to accept a reduction in wages. The state executive board of the United Mine «\Vorkers of America, representing the ten sub-districts, counted the vote on the proposed reduction, and it was lost by a majority of 500 votes. The officials of the union favored the acceptance of a reduc- tion. They argued that a failure of the miners to pursue this course meant months of idleness and destitution for the families of thousands of workingmen in the mining districts of the state.

BIQPIRE ill BROGKTON.’ Business Blocks and Dwel- ings in Ruins. The Fire: Marshal’s and Mayor‘s Besi- dences Among the Property De- stroyed—One Church in Ashes— Wlnd Adds Fury Ito the Flames—- Aid Summoned from Other Cities. BROCKTON, Mass, J a.n.'25.——At 10:10 last night an alarm Of fire was sounded from Main and Centre streets. It called the department to the rear of the skat- ing rink in Robinson’s court. A1- most simultaneously with the alarm a terrible wave of flame burst from the building, which was a wooden structure; The fire apparatus was quickly at the scene, but the rear of the building was then in flames and the wind was blowing from the southwest, and the rear of the two handsome residences on Green street, owned by Col. Whipple, and occupied by Weir, Mrs. Daniel Tolman and Chief Harry Marsten of the fire department, were soon in flames. Directly adjoining these residences was the beautiful home of Mayor Whipple, and the department worked hard to prevent the loss of the dwelling. The First Congregational church was the next to catch fire. It was a handsome wooden structure situated on the corner of Pleasant and Main streets and occupying a commanding position on the highland with no building ad joining. This was quickly in flames. The firemen worked hard to save this edifice, but in vain. The burning church lighted up the city and country for miles around. At 11 o’clock the tall steeple fell towards the front of the building. Fortunately no one was injured. Sparks and large Cinders fell in showers‘bn the wooden building on the opposite side of Pleasant street and the residence of Rev. Mr. 'Price, next to the church, seemed likely to go. On the Opposite corner of Pleasant and Main streets was situated the fine residence of Daniel S. Howard and this was also in danger. Aid was sent from Boston, Taunton, Fall River, Avon and Stough- ton, as it looked as though other build- ings in: the rear of main street would go. The steeple‘of the Porter Congregational church caught about midnight. This church was a large wooden structure on north Main street, about 200 feet north of the Brown church. . At 1"):45 the fire was well under control. Steamers arrived from Boston soon after midnight, making the trip in 20 minutes. At midnight the Avon steamer was put to Work on the savings bank and block, which had caught fire. The flames burned through the roof, but the building Was saved. The Porter church caught fire in the belfry, but it was quickly exting- uished. The fire was practicallyunder control at 1 o’clock, and at 3 o’clock Only ruins marked a large space occupied a few hours before by handsome structures. Princeton’s Track Team in Training.

Reconciliation of William, and Bismarck. The Aged Statesman \Vlll Be llIet at the Station By the EinperorTo- Morrow—Rooms in the Royal Palace Prepared‘for Him—Com; ment of the German Press. - BERLIN, Jan. 25,—The rdoms prepared for Prince Bismarck in the; royal palace face the ‘Lustgarten. ' , If his health perniits, the-prince will ar- rive here to-moir‘ow “afternoon. It is possible that 116 Twill return home the same evening to avpid'the birthday fates, which might overfiax ‘his strength. Em- peror William hopes strongdy, however, that the prince Will be ablei'to attend the gala performance at the Royal Opera house and occupy the royal box with three German sovereigns—King Albert of Sax— ony, King William of Wurtemburg, and King William of Prussia. ~ . The plans for Bismarck’s jburney are not yet definitely known. The Lokal- Anzeiger says'that the prince will leave Friedrichsruh at 9:20 o’clock to~morrow morning and will arrive at the Lehrte station at 1 o’clock. Emperor "William Will be at the station to meet him. The Staatsmurger Zeitung says of the reconciliation: “It is the dearest wish of all the patriotic Germans to see Emperor \Villiam andi'Prince Bismarck shaking hands. The festal day will be celebrated througout the empire.” - The Post says that the entire national press unites in welcoming the event. The Vossische Zeitung says that the step taken by the emperor is explicable from the most natural. sentiments, un— mixed with political intentions. Noth- ing it adds, ought to be more foreign to Prince Bismarck than ambition to again carry the burdens of office. - The men against whom he directed his arrows can- not view as hostile to them the distinc- tion conferred upon the aged statesman who is in failing health. The Frankfort Zeitung says: Dr. Sch weininger stated recently that Prince Bismarck was mentally and physically so well as to be able to take up the govern- ment leadership. It is known, however, that the prince does not seriously con- template taking any such step as resum- ing office. Gen. Count von, Waldersee, commader of thr Ninth ar . corps, whose district includes Friedrigisruhe, where the prince resides, has recei‘ d instructions from the emperor to see Bismarck and arrange to accompany him to Berlin. The agrarian members of the reichstag are somewhat alarmed by the approach- ing visit of the prince. They fear that the emperor will utilize the prince’s pres- ence to reconcile and fortify the govern- ment’s commercial treaty policy against the conservative fronde, the organzied opposition to that policy. Charges Against Father Smith. PATERSON, N. J., Jan. 25,—The ecclesi- astical court of the Roman Catholic Church of the diocese of Newark convened in St. Joseph’s hospital yesterday after- noOn, with Bishop W'igger as judge, to hear charges against Rev.

The hearing was private.- The petition men- tions in detail a number of instances of alleged derelictlon of duty of the rector, giving names and dates. He is accused of not attending properly to the sick and dying; refusing to baptize a child of des- titute parents, and for bidding the remains of a parlshionei' to be taken into the church. ' Suffering in a. Charitable Home. NEWARK, N, J., Jan. 25.——There are thirty-five inmates in the Faith home in this city, an institution for the shelter of the aged, homeless and friendless and it is reported that all the inmates are in want.
