FIGHTER SKELLY'S SORE JAW 1t is Getting Well and He Has Commenced Training Work Again.

Skelly is much better. The swelling has almost disappearad from bis faco. Ho can oat and sleep well, and his general condition is very good. He was out on the roud today, and will box tha ball and spar his trainer tomorrow.

Streator, 1L, Aug 23.—While Billy Myer has been training Industriously in this city for several weoks for his approacking fight with Jack McAuliffe, the littie cyclone hus bad little to say for publication. He has simply been too busy to talk very much, During the past few woeks he has done more nard work than the most industrious coal Leaver. Ho has two sets of traming quarters, ouw in @ hall in the center of the city, the other at the driving park. in addition ho nas been taking loug cross-couutry runs ucdor the immediato supervision of his bucker, ALl Kennedy. As a result of this couscirntions work he 18 today in the best possible physical conaition and under the watehful eye of Al Kennedy he will be kept 80 until tho night of the figl That be is werfectly confident of his ability to whip MeAuliffe is evident not so much from what he says but his manuer of saying it. Opinions of "Frisco Sports. Sax Fraxcisco, Aug. 23.--Notwithstand- the fact th: an [rancisco is the place of birth and that he has the good wishos of a vast majority of the citizens of the city, when 1t comes down 10 a betting proposition Sullivan is a favorite at odds of 10to7. These are some opiuions from well- known sporfing men in this vicinity: Duncan B, Harrison, Sullivan's fellow trespian—I hope Corbetl will knook the big fellow’s head off, but [ don’t see how he can doit. No man thatl ever heard of stands any show with him. Paddy Ryan—Yes, Corbett will 1and on Sullivan, but he can’t it John hard enough <t nceher him any, Sullivan only wants one track at “Pompadour Jim” and that will settlo it Eddie Greaney, champion amateur light- weight of the const—Corbett has a good chauce 1o wi He is even cleverer than Charlie Mitchell, whom Sullivan failed to whip, ana has a longer reach, He can’t hit like Sullivan, but he can duck and get aws Walter Watson, instructor at the Olympic club—I honestly believe Corbett has a good chance to win, Ho is undoubtedly the clever- st big man alive. 1t Sullivan does not whip Corbett in eight rounas he never will. John Dougherty, founder of the Pacific Athletic club—Corvettisa wonderfully clever man; buc his hands ure not likely to stana the racket. I think superior scienco in this maten will not prevail against Sullivan’s territic onslaughts. President Hiram Cook of the California club—Sullivan is tco powerful for Corbett, whother he is in first-class trimornot. Johun L. will not race around wortn a cent, and I would uot ba surprised to see a poor fight und the affair end in & row of somo sort. Ed Fay, the crack shot and ex-director of the California club, thinks Suliivan’s Water- 100 will come on the mght of September 7. “Corbett is the cleverest man in the coun- " said Fay. Mose Guust has shifted around to the Sul- livan side, but declares that tho battle will last over twelye rounds. A big delegation wiil go to New Orleans 10 se0 tho three big fistic events, and as the bour of battle approaches betting becomes livelier. Jim Corvety Tommy Ryan Getting Fidgety, The California Athletic club is trying to arrange a fght botween Commy Ryan of this city. the undefeated champion weiterweight pugilist, aud George Dawson, the Austra- lian who recently conquered Danny Need- ham. The sporting editor of ik Bek was informed by telegraph last night that the club would hang up a purse of 3,000 for the match. Ryan. however, will not consent to make the match for this money. He says, and very correctly, too, that ho is just as much of an attraction for the big clubs of the country as any pugilist in the business, and wauts a purse commensurato with his 1mportance as a card. 1f tne purse is raised 10 5,000 Ryun will make the match 1mmedi- ately aud_secure Danny Needham as his trawer, Needham has already written Tommy informing him that this position will be agroeable to him if the match is made.

Dr. Savidge of the Peoplo’s church ia going to carry the war into the enomy's camp, ana 18 arranging for a big camp meeting to be commenced at Auson’s grove, near Spring- field, in Sarpy county, on Thursday, Septem- ber 1. The meeting will be decidedly out of the usual order, and will be coupled with at- tractions that will draw the poople from other than pious wotives, For instanco, thero will be a balloor: ascension in the moru- g of the opening day and a grand display of fireworks in the evening. Rev. Dr. Savidge has securod the co- operation of a noted evangelist, who is an artist, und will draw pretures iilustrating the sermon while Mr. Savide is preaching. Tho artist is said to be remarkably fine and to furnish very striking illustrations. Next Sunday morning Rev. Dr. will preach on “The Prodigal Son,” and the evening on ‘“T'he Devil’s Ola Men," bota sermons being illustrated by his unknown in chalk artist, s Tireman and Watchman Combined, It is a settled fact that there will be a night watchman in the city hall, but as the selection ot the man is left with Suporintond- ent Mathieson he will have to bo a compe- tent fireman as well as a watohman. Mr. Mathieson said that it would be an extravagant expenditure of money to employ both a night watchman and a night fireman and that if it was left to him ho should employ a man who could look after the building and the fires. il s ST City Hall Tluminatio The contractors, Russell, Pratt & Co. of this city, who will supply the now city hall with gas and electrie light fixtures have re- ceived word from the factory that the entire outfit would be shipped yesterday. They expect to_complate the wiring and have cthe lamps, lights and chandeliers ready for use within sixty days. Their contract vrice with the city is $12,000 and of this amount §2,000 will be expended in wiring. e e naes Criminals on Their Good Behavior, Since its occupancy the county jail has nover been entirely depopulated, but at this time there are less people in that bastile than ever betore. During the past fiva years the average has been 110 prisoners per day. Now there are only sixty-five persous behind the bars. Jailer Miller accounts for this by maintain- ing that Omaha is on its good bohuvior. Dastardly Attompt at Train Wrecking.

Itis my candid opinion that ho will not only carry the northern statos, but two or throo of the soathern states as well, T'ho general 1ssue of the campaign s tho tariff, 7The domocrats have taken the position of repressing il custows revenue, oven though necossary to the support of the government. Thatis the true meaning of their declaration. They have drawn them- selves up in line in opposition to auy protec- tion, great or little, incldental or otherwise, declaring it ull unconstitutional. Auything for the O “Thoy cannot get away from that. They have hua a_great deal to say of the bankrupt treasury. The treasury is not bankrupt. Wo are meeting our obligations, The government is going along all right and the trousury is in a good condition. But if they honestly be- lieve that the treasury was bankrupt how do thoy explain their conduot during the session of congress, justclosed! ‘I'he house did not cut down expenditures, they did not try to deviso any weans of increasing the revenus which théy have said was not necessary to meet the expenditures, On the coatrary, the house passed u bill to veduco the revenuo £0,000,000 a year. Itlooks as if they were determined to make sure of it aad bank- rupt the treasury if it were not so, Bankruptey sosms to be what they wanted, Tney will probably not make much out of that cry. Their lead are suying that they are as sound on the silver question s wo o but everybody Knows that the party be- lieves in the free coinage of silver and they will seizo the first opportunity they can get 10 enact a free coinage law. Their protenses on that point are false. They are trying to make a ‘force bill' issue, but they are not succeeding. The life is all out of that, Re- publicans have been Learing so much about breaking up the solid south that they have Ot lired of it to a great extent, and bhave no faith in it, but [ feel confidant now that it is going to be brokeu up. This time I think 1t 1sgone. This will settle itself and the ‘foroe bill’ issue 1s without life, 1 think you can depend upon it that whatever Mr. Harrison has to say on that subject in his letter will be wise and will be well said, for all he writes and says is wise and weli put.” Will Consult with Candidates. The Nebraska senators ars determined to do everything 1 their power to strengthen the canvass of the republican candidates for congress in Nebraska. Senator Paddock sayo thero are not likely to bs any appoint- monts wade 1n Nebraska except 1u cases where offices are made vacant by death, resignation or otherwise, and immediate action is required, until the republican mom- bors of the house of representatives, who are expected to bo selected in November, are on hand to participate in recommendations to the president. He also says that Senator Manderson agrees with him, that all cases where appointments are to be made which, under the rulo that members of the house, who ure friends of the appointing power, might properly unite 1n the recommenda- tions, will be referred to the soveral repub- lican candidates for an expression of their views the same as if actually members, Senator Paddock says that in no case so far as he is concerned in the South Platte country, whero he has jurisdiction, witl he recommend the appointment of any post- miaster without first submitting the case to the repudlican candidate for the distrior in which the oftice is located, for his advice. Miscellaneous. Captain Moredith, chief of the bureau of engraving ana printing, has laid before Sec- rotary Foster his proposition for a treasury note with the bead of Columbus. The secr tary bus not authorized it yot, but he is pleased with the 1dos and tho designors are busy selecting a head of Columbus for the design. .S, H.
