Awaited the Minions of the Law, b'ut
They Came Not—Latest Gossip
About the Big Fight.
HOT SPRINGS, Oct. 17.—Excitement in
Hot Springs is still at fever heat. The
sttitudc of Governor Clark toward the
proposed Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight has
been the sole topic of discussion on the
streets and in the business offices of the
'city. '
The original talk of Governor Clark
served only to intensify the public feel-
ing. Everybody was anxious to know
What was going to occur, particularly
when it- became kn:wn that Corbett
would arrive in town. A bombshell was
exploded when it was learned that Briga-
dier General .0. P. Taylor, in command of
the state troops, and George Neely, cap-
tain of the Neely Rifles, had arrived and
had instructions from the governor to see
that Corbett and Fitzsimm'ons did not
meet in Arkansas. - .
Shortly after General Taylor’s arrival
he was asked what his purpose was in
coming to Hot Springs.
“To see that no prize fight takes place
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons,” was
the reply. “I have brought letters of in-
JOE VENDIG.
struction, from Governor Clark,”he con-
tinued, “to Sheriff Houpt, Judge Duffie
and State Attorney Teague. They will
act under those instructions. I'am invest-
ed with full powers to stop this contest in
its incipiency. ”
“Under what law or by what authority
of law?” was asked.
“I know nothing about the law. I am
acting under instructions. I do not con-
sult my ’own feelings in the matter. To
indicate my personal preferences I will
tell you that I had obtained my ticket to
the fight at Dallas and intended to go
there to see it myself. The governor,”
he continued, ”acts under the law of
1838. That law was passed in times of
border terrorism and outlawry. when the
sheriff stood in with the outlaws and the
governor was empowered with rights per—
haps never before conferred on the civil
head of any state.”
A few momefits later Manager Vendig
approached General Taylor, and the two
men exchanged a cordial greeting.
“Circular Joe’s" Statement.
The general told Vendig his‘ mission.
Vendig replied:
“The governorseems to have been la-
boring under 'a misapprehension of our
intentions. The Florida Athletic club
did not come to Arkansas to make an in-
vasion. Individually and collectively we
are all law abiding and have had and
have now no intention to violate the laws
of the state.’ We come to Hot Springs at
the earnest invitation and solicitation of
its chief executive officer and attorney,
with a promise of protection and the un-
derstanding that no statute of the state
law shall be infracted. When we discov-
ered that a finish contest was a misde.
meanor under what we understood was
the law, we changed. the articles of agree
ment from afinish contest to one of 9. lim-
ited number of rounds. Here are the new
articles of agreement.” - ~
Here Vendig handed the general the
new articles of agreement, which read as
follows: -
“The Florida Athletic club, party of
the first part, and James J. Corbett and
Robert Fitzsimmons, parties of the second
part, hereby agree to abide by the condi-
tions of this contract, which are as follows:
“First—The parties of the second part
agree to box 25 rounds under Marquis of
Queensberry rules, with soft gloves which
shall Weigh not less than five ounces, on
Oct. 31, 1895, at Hot Springs, Ark.
“Second—The party of the first part,
in consideration of such services, agrees to
pay said parties of the second part the
sum of $41,000. . ' .
“Third—This money shall be deposited
and shall be paid to the contestant who
shall be declared winner in scientific
points of the above mentioned 25 rounds
boxing contest.- The party of the second
part who is not named as the winner
shall have no interest whatever in the
aforesaid purse;
“Fourth—The referee is hereby vested‘
with full power to stop this contest when-
ever, in his opinion, it becomes brutal.
" ‘ “W. A. BRADY, -
“For James .I. Corbett.
“JOSEPH H. .VENDIG,
“Manager " Fibrida ; Athletic Associa-
tion." " p
The general read the articles and re
turned them with the statement that he
had seen the substance of them at Little
Rock. The general was then called to a
conference with the citizens’ committee,
the prosecuting attorney, Judge ‘0. V,
Teague and Chancellor Judge, Feather .

is CLARK BLUFllN—G—‘l __
Norwalk, Coma, Thursday lvening,
J. D. Kimball, who had returned from a
conference with the governor, to whom he
submitted the new articles of agreement
and with a view to a cessation Of hostili-
ties until the matter could be passed upon
by the courts. '
It was understood that upon the arrival
of Corbett he would be placed under ar-
rest. COrbett came into the city at 8
o’clock and received-an ovation. He was
driven to the Arlington hotel with his wife
and party. After obtaining a room he ap-
peared in the hotel rotunda and was quick-
ly surrounded by a crowd at a respectful
distance. He was evidently awaiting the
arrest, but it was not made. He finally
walked away.
Judge Kimball said that the programme
arranged is to arrest Corbett upon the
charge of a threatened breach of the peace
and require a peace bond. The bond will
be refused, and the case will come up be-
fore the chancellor, Judge Feathermore.
A habeas corpus will be applied for to
make a test case to determine whether the
courts or the dictum of the governor is su-
perior. The governor cannot go behind
the writ of habeas corpus under the law,
and to suspend the law requires an act of
the legislature in session assembled.
The only way that this can be overcome
would be by declaration of martial law,
and citizens do not believe that the govern-
or will declare martial law to prevent a
misdemeanor of the sort contemplated.
The people seem to feel confident that
the combat under the revised agreement
will take place.
A Railroad’s Confidence.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17.—That the Iron
Mountain railway feels assured that the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will take place
at Hot Springs is evident from the confer.
ence of passenger agents at the headquar-
ters of that company for tvvo days past.
Nearly every passenger representative ol
the Iron Mountain road in the principal
cities between New York and Denver has
been in attendance at the conference,
which was presided over by GeneralPas-
senger Agent Townsend. The number 01
persons who will attend the fight is esti.
mated by the outside agents at 30,000,
and it is probable that thefigure will be
increased if the public become satisfied
that the fight will surely take place.
New Mexico Declines Without Thanks.
SANTA FE, Oct. 17.—Governor Thorn-
ton, when approached by emissaries ol
the Florida Athletic club, declared that
under no circumstances would he permil
Corbett and Fitzsimmons to fight in this
territory. He added that he had confidence
in every sheriff in New Mexico doing his
full duty in the premises, but if need be
he would call on the national government
to aid him in suppressing anything of this
sort.
El Paso May Get It.
EL PASO, Tex., Oct. 17.—A telegram
has been received from Dan Stuart stat-
ing that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight
would be pulled off in El Paso if this city
would pay the Mexican concession. At a
meeting of the business men of El Paso
$15,000 was subscribed to pay for the con.
cession.
FATAL RAILROAD COLLISION.
Two Men Killed and Several Injured on a
“Pennsy” Branch Line.
ALTOONA, Pa, Oct. 17,—Two men wore
killed, one fatally and several slightly in-
jured in a wreck on the Martinsburg
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad. The
dead are: W. F. Good of Henrietta, fire-
man of the Martinsburg train, killed in-
stantly; J. Q. Woodrlng of Tyrone, froni
brakeman of the water train, both legs
cut off and head crushc'd.
The wreck occurred between the Mar-
tinsburg mixed train, hauling milk and
Altoona. shop workmen, and a water
train, a mile west of this city. The water
train, consisting of several tank cars, had
been ordered to proceed to the “Y”
switches near Hollidaysburg to get water
for the Altoona shops and was just pull-
ing from a siding to the main track when
the Martinsburg train came around the
curve at full speed. The collision com-
pletely demolished both locomotives and
derailed several of the tank cars. The
passenger cars kept the track. Besides
those already mentioned, the following
Were injured:
David Arthur of Altoona, engineer oi
the Martinsburg train, badly scaldcd and
injured internally; cannot recover.
Henry Blackburn, engineer of the Wa-
ter train. seriously, but not fatally, hurt.
William Jones of Burket Station, a pas-
senger, was thrown through a door and
painfully injured.
Benjamin Weyandt of Roaring Springs,
.a passenger, badly out about arms.
Conductor Davis of the passenger train,
escaped with slight injuries. A number
of others were more or less cut by flying
glass. A confusion of orders is responsi-
ble for the accident, which is the most
serious that ever occurred on the Altoona
division.
A Bloomer Cafe, Now.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.—This city has
had bloomer balls, bloomer marriage and
now a bloomer restaurant has been opened
in the very business center of the city.
The restaurant is called “The Bloomer
Cafe” and has been a success from the
start. Four shapely girls, attired in neat
fitting bloomers, attend to the wants of the
customers.

Said Pasha has accepted the so 'me for
reform in Armenia drawn up . Greal
Britain, France and Russia, an ’it now
awaits the signature of the suits . The
scheme is almost identical with he pro-
posals of last May, which, in en stance,
were that the governors and vice lgovern-
ore of Van, Erzerum, Siwas,§ Bitlis,
Khartut and Trebizond be Christian or
Mussulman according to the inc ination
of the populatiOn, but either the vernol’
or the vice governor is to be a C V». istian,
and the appointments are to be confirmed
by the powers. Local and not s to offi-
cials are to collect the taxes, and nough
money is to be retained before it is for.

penses of local administration. Cpmplete
changes will be made in the judiéial sys-
tem, torture will be abolished, the-fprisons
will be under surveillance, the police will
be composed Of Christians and. Turks
equally and the laws against compulsory
conversion to Islamism will be strihtly en-
forced. l
The ambassadors of the powerd expect
that the whole question will be ,3 finally
settled during the course of the week by
the promulgation of an imperial ’idecree.
Contrary to general expectation, tile high
commissioner who will be .charggd with
the execution of this scheme of ireform
will be a Christian. This was the ardest
pill for the porte' to swallow, an for a
long time it threatened to bring ab‘put the
most serious complications.
A Russian warship has arrived here.
The situation at Ismid is critical. The
Christians are apprehensive of a Turkish
outbreak. '
More Turkish Outrages.
LONDON, Oct. 17.-—-The News} today
prints a dispatch from Constantinople
saying that the agitation there is?“ being
renewed owing to the neglect of Turkish
officers to fulfill their promise of security
given to the Armenian refugees, when
they left their churches. .
Another attack was made on Kassim
Pasha and other Armenians, when f0111
were killed and a number wounded. ' It is
alleged that the police refused to interfere.
The embassadors hold identical vieWS,
but their governments are not so unani-
mous; hence the hesitation to use force.
The key to the situation is Russia’s un-
willingness to see Armenia organized with
autonomy. It is a very serious fact that
this last proposal reverts, with slight al—
terations, to the scheme of May 11. The
demand for a Christian high commissioner
to be appointed by the powers is dropped.
An Armenian shopkeeper was arrested
on the same day as a revolutionist because
he had sought refuge in a church. He
showed the police a Russian dragoman’s
card pledging him security. A policeman
seized the card and tore it into fragments,
at the same time uttering a curse.
The Armenian protest-ed against this
conduct and received a cut from the po-
liceman’s sword. It is said that the man
is (lying from the effects of the wound.
Several other Armenians who possesseu
similar cards wore treated in the same
manner. On account of the attitude of
the police the Armenians are again flock-
ing to their churches for protection.
Details have been received of an organ-
ized attack on Armenians by a Moslem
mob at Akhissar on Oct. 9. Forty-six
Armenians were killed and a large num-
ber wounded.
e The Graphophone Patent Suit.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—The American
Graphophone company of Washington to«
day filed a suit in the United States cir-
cuit court for the district of New Jersey
‘ against John R. Hardin, receiver of the
North American Phonograph company,
asking for an injunction, etc., because of
alleged infringement in the sale of the
Edison phonograph.
Baltimore and Ohio Dividend Passed.
BALTIMORE, Oct. l7.—The directors or
the Baltimore and Ohio today decided not
to pay dividends on common stock for the
six months ending June 30 last. They
issued a statement saying that the earn-
ings for that period exceeded 2% per cent,
but that they deem it advisable to hold
the money for other purposes.
