CORBETT ON HAND} The Champion Pugilist Arrives at Hot Springs, OKLAHOMA AFTER THE CONTEST An Island in the Missouri River Suggested. EL PASO THOUGHT LIKELY HOT SPRINGS, Ark., October 16.—Briga- dier General Taylor,commanding the troops of the state of Arkansas, reached Hot Springs on the 5:50 o'clock train yesterday afternoon, in company with D. J. Kimball of this city, and George Neely, captain of the Neely Rifles. Gen. Taylor at once drove to the Ariington Hotel, and the news of his arrival soon spread throughout the city attracted a large crowd of interested people anxious to know the purpose of his t. The general stated he was fresh rence with Gov. Clarke, and » had received instructions to ty, view the situation and to teps he saw proper to pre nplated mill between Cor immons. These instructio! positive and to be carried out om him h me to this take whatever vent the cont bett and Fitz he said, w at all hazard Upon Clarik what laW Gov. r to all asked on gave him a power the general stated that the authorit tion upon the 3 nds of marauders, horse thieves and cutthroats, who ofttimes stood in with the sheriffs of ‘ae different countie: rried on thei crimes un- der the! 1 aid and protection.

John D. Kimball, an attorney of this city, t to the, capital yesterday for the pur: v pose of submitting the revised articles of agreement to Gov. Clarke. The ch ex- ecutive is quoted as saying to Mr. Kim- ball that he did not consider there was much difference between a prize fight and a glove contest for a limited number cf rounds, and that he knew if these men got together in the ring they would fight, and it would be no child's play between them. The crowd would make them fight, even if it was their intention of engaging only in a harmless bout for points, v1 the view he take: ‘Joe Vendig as the re Florida Athiet Taylor. Mr. Vendig that they were not he: f ing any of the laws of the state, y were law-abiding and expected to main so, and if they were convinced th the contemplated meeting between Co bett and Fitzsimmons in a soft glove lim- ited round contest for scientific points was a lation of any law or laws upon the . they would agree to pack up Arkansas and puil off the con- test as first agreed upon to a finish at a peint where they are guaranteed abso- lut Gen from of the matter. of the the genera r the purpose lor bore Clarke uting Attorn: th oflicials private messages to Sheriff Houpt ue. s to the con- tten by Go no arrest followed their pe- . but a: rusal, a feeling of contidence that the test would be brought off again per: the atmesphere. Corbett and party arrived safel} on schedue time and were driven rapidly from the depot to the Arlington Hotel, where a great crowd of interested spectators await: ed their coming. No attempt to interfere with or arrest Corbett was made during last evening. It it not yet fully decided by Martin Ju- lian to mcve Fitzsimmons from Corpus Christi to Arkansas.

EL PASO, Texas} O¢tober 16.—It is un- derstood here that El Paso gets the big Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. It will, it is said, be advertised to take place in Ki Paso, but will, in fact."bccur on the south- ern side of the Rio Grande. A meeting of the business men of the city ws held last night for the purpose of raising $15,000 to pull the fight off im Juarez, Mexico, but it is distinctly understood that the fight does not take place on Texas soil. A telegram has been received from Dan Stuart stating that the Corbett-Fitzsim- mons fight would be pulled off in El Paso if this city would pay the Mexican conces- n. At a meeting of the business men of 1 Paso $15,000 was subscribed to pay for the concession. SANTA FE, N.M., October 1 Thornton, when approached by emissari of the Florida Athletic Club, declared that under no circumstances wovld he permit Corbett and Fitzsimmons to fight in. this territory.

Notes of the Fighters. The much-talked-of pug ie encounter between the heavy weights Godfrey of Bos- ton and Woods of Denver did not come off last night according to program, because Woods refused to go on. Only about $300 had been taken in at the door, and Wood: said it was not enough to fight for, and he left the club house, followed by jeers and hisses. Two bouts were substituted, and some of those who did not care to see thenr had their money refunded. Howard Wilson easily disposed of Phillips in three reunds. Jack Daly of Wilmington and Billy Duke of Baltimore came together for fifteen rounds of fast, clever fighting, and the ref- eree declared it a draw. The next fights scheduled by the club are those between Glynn of Wilmington and Bateman of this city, and between Filson of this city and Johnson of Philadelphia. The reka Athletic Club of Baltimore will endeavor to induce Woods and God- frey to come together in their club house. Charles Holcomb of this city and Buck Johnson of Baltimore, colored heavy weights, sparred a ten-round draw at Bal- timore last night. Johnson was the bigger, but had 1 experience than Holcomb. MR.

Soper, the yacht designer of Southzmpton, who hag been selected to create Distant Shore, the challenger for the America’s cup, has had a conference with, Charles D. Rose, who issued the challenge, and who will build the yacht. Mr. Soper says that nothing has been fully determined regarding Dis- tant Shore's lines, or the time when work upon her will be bégun.' When shown the criticisms of the Pall Mall Gazette of yesterday upon Mr. Rose, aud that newspaper's ‘statement. that he (Soper) was not the, equal of George L. Watson as a yacht ‘designer, the South- ampton maa remarked: “I am’ perfectiy in- lifferent to newspaper comment upon my But no effort will be spare ’s yacht a cup-winne! en questioned as te his opinion of the relative merits of, Valkyrie IIT and De- fender, Soper contenied himself with say- ing that he had not seen either of the yachts, and, consequently, could not ex- press an opinion on the subject. pper was i his opinion upon the ccnduct of Lord Dunraven dyring the cup races in America, but he declined to talk on the subject. He was equally silent when a:ked if he thought his lordship had been airly treated in the United States. In fact, the only remark of any weight whicn eGuld be drawn from Soper was: “I hope the next race will be devoid of all elements save true sportsmanship. Records Broken. NAPA, Cal. October 16.—Walter Fosier yesterday broke two world’s records, the one-third mile paced and the one-third mile unpaced. The paced record was brought down to 30 seconds flat, and he rode a third unpaced in seconds, reducing the record by six seconds. DENVER, Col., October 16—At an au- thorized and official trial, W. W.

Steve Brodie, who has been playing in Omaha, received a dispatch last night, say- ing he had been chosen referee in the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight, which will occur when a place can be found where the fight can be held. Brodie was one of the six men who were under consideration for referee by thé Florida Athletic Club. He is a warm friend of both pugilists, and was chosen by both men. Brodie said: “If the authorities at Hot Springs interfere, the battle ground will be relocated on the nd in the Missouri river, near St. Joseph, and will be held to a dead certainty. However, I will expect to referee the fight at Hot Springs.” Sprinter Wefers With Georgetown. Bernard J.

In this part Miss R han’s abilities are seen at their best, for she is essentially a comedienne, and in the role of the country girl suddenly thrust, through her marriage with a wealthy old baronet, into the lax London society her powers find full vent and her own charm- ing personality adds to the effectiveness of her impersonation. The Sir Peter of Mr. Varrey lacked some of the unctuousness and finish that was giyen the part by William Warren and Jon Gilbert, but it Wag a very clever performance and the Sir Joseph of Mr. George Clarke was as complete a presentation of hypocrisy and scheming villainy as one would wish to See.

Odd Fellows’ Hall.—Prof. Markos opened his second week at Odd Fellows’ Hall, 7th street between D and E streets northwest, Monday night to a very gocd audience. He introduced some new ncvelties and won the favor of the audience by the apparent mys- tery with which they were surrounded. He also introduced Kado, the Hand, using mind reading in the feat. Persons in the audience were allowed to write a number on a card and the hand responded faith- fully every time. After some new tricks in sleight of hand, Prof. Markos went on with the mesmerism and made his subjects per- form all sorts of gymnastics for the edifi- cation of the audience. His box and trunk mysteries are beyond ordinary comprehen- sion, while his cabinet work is fully up to the standard set by the best artists. The prices have been reduced, and it is expected that this week's business will be a large cne. Prof. Markos will put on in a very short time the entire seance of the famous Davenport brothers. He duplicates all of their mysteries perfectly and will be pre- pared in a short space of time to put them before the Washington public. He will give exhibitions of his power in hypnotism and mesmerism, interspersed with other mys- terles, every night this week, including Saturday matinee. GORMAN AND HURST. Maryland Democratic Leaders Ads dress a Meeting at Marlboro’. Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO’, October 15, 1895. The largest crowd ever present in Upper Marlboro’ was here today, the occasion being the mass meeting held here by the democrats of Prince George’s county. Early in the morning, long before the ar- rival of the regular 9 o'clock train to bring the state candidates, the crowd began to gather from all over the county. The re- ception committee, composed of Dr. L. A. Griffith, chairman; C. C. Magruder, Wm. I. Hill, J. S. Wilson, Judge R. B, B. Chew and Jos. K. Roberts, ‘in carriages, accompanied by Capt. P. W. Che: arshal of thé ko back brigade, met the state candidates at the depot and esccrted them, with music, through the town to their hotel. ‘The re- ception committee and Capt. Chew's horse- men then leit town, went up the pike to meet Senator A. P.’Gorman and ex-Sena- tor Butler cf South Carolina. They were followed by a®large crowd of mounted horsemen from the lower part of the coun- ty, with a colored band of music and car- rying flags and banners. This procession was inarshaled by Lieut. Daniel A. Jen- kins. They met the Senator and his guest just outside of town with his escort. The orsemen formed on Main street in front ot the court house, as the Senators and the reception committee, in carriages, drove along the line bowing their acknowleds- ments to the cheers given by the assem- pled people. The meeting began at 12 o'clock in front of the town hall, as the court house could not hold the crowd. Dr. L. A. Griffith called the meeting to order and read the list of the officers as follows: Mr. Fred. Sasscer, chairman; Messrs. Geo . Harris, I. S. Wilson, T. M. Baldwin and T! J. Grant, secretaries; vice presidents, one from each district, Dr. Chas. A. Fox, Dr. Chas. A. Wells, Benjamin H. Brown, jenoch G. Perrie, L. C. Towles, Henry Arm- strong, Henry McGraw, P. A. Bowen, Jno. B. Merchant, Charles H. Stanley, S. G. Townshend, S$. S. Adams, Jno. Shultz and SL. yman. ar Ana the chairman, introduced first John 5. Hurst, candidate for governor. Mr. Hurst read some of his speech, but closed with an extemporaneous address. He defined the issues between the republi- cans and democrats, from his point of view. He promised the farmers, if elected, that he would do everything in his power to as- sist in procuring an enactment of a new assessment, so as to make every one pay hig just share of taxation. He could not, he said, promise everything, as Mr. Lown- des and the republicans were doing. Until the democrats passed a new election law, he said, the elections in Prince George's county and other southern Maryland coun- tles would be controlled by a floating negro vote which came from Washington city. Mr. Hurst, during his speech was frequent- ly interrupted by applause. Mr. Bernard Carter of Baltimore, the next speaker, said he could not see what reason any democrat could give for refus- ing to vote fcr Mr. Hurst and the rest of the democratic ticket. After Mr. Carter’s address the meeting adjourned to the court house, which was quickly filled. The doors of the big hall were thrown cpen, but all could not get in. Ex-Senator Butler was the next speake: He said he understood the democrats ha “I Want to Be the Jeweler Who Comes oe Into Your Mind First!” TOMORROW IS THE ‘LAST.

He closed his speech by eulogiz- ing Mr. Gorman, and explaining to his hearers Gorman’s action in the Senate at the time of the passage of the tariff bill. Senator Gorman followed Mr. Butler, and was received with such a din of applause that it was several minutes before it was quiet enough for him to address the meet- ing. He said, in the course of his address: ‘or the past twenty years in Maryland everything that has happened, every dys- Reptic, every one that is disappointed, and for whatever crime or disappointment, charge it to me. I have a bargain with some of the people on the Eastern Shore, if they have any trouble at all, to charge it to me, provided they come out on elec- tion day and vote the democratic ticket.” He devoted considerable of his speech to Baltimore newspapers, which, he said, had slandered him. He expressed his grati- tude to the people of the state for the high honor of being their Senator, and declared that he has tried to do his duty. “I stand by every letter of my record, he said. “I am proud of it, because I be- lieve I have done my party some service, and I would not apologize for it.” Mr. Smith, candidate for controller, fol- lowed Mr. Gorman, and compared the pre: ent financial condition of affairs and those under the republican rule of the state. Mr. Crothers, candidate for attorney gen- eral, was the last speaker, and had only time to make a few remarks, as it was time to catch the train. This was considered the largest crowd ever seen in Marlboro’. There were be- tween fifteen hundred and two thousand people present. A great many ladies were in attendance ee Mr. Grace's Deposit. William R. Grace of New York of the firm owning the steamer which ran into the United States ship Alert in Guayaquil harbor a few weeks ago, has deposited with the Navy Department about $6,000 to cover any damages the warship may have sus- tained as a result of the collision.
