4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1895. - NO COIN FOR WHELAW, ExaMiNers NoT YET READY TO PAY THE SHERIFF'S CLAIMS. HINT AT OVERCHARGES. MEALS OF THE DEPUTIES TO BE LIMITED HEREAFTER TO THREE A DAY. PRAYING FOR TELEPHONES. STAT TUTIONS May AcaIN BE WitH HELLo VTS. SACRAMENTO, Car, Oct. 18.—Gov- ernor Budd and Secretary of State Brown were the only members present at the meeting of the State Board of Examiners this afternoon, Attorney-General Fitzger ald being engaged in attending to the af- fairs of the Railroad Commission. There was another batch of accounts for supplies used in the State penalinstitutions and in- sane asylums to be audited, and the mem- bers of the board made a running com- mentary upon the methods in which these accounts we: presented and the price paid for similar articies in different asylums. “How is it,” queried Secretary of State Brown, “that eggs c 21 cents in the northern part of the State and south of the Tehachapi they cost only 19 cents.”” “Those are Eastern hens down there,” explained ellency, ‘‘they produce better and work cheaper. “Down at Whittier they want two more cows,” said Secretary Brown, “and as they had a milk bill of $40 against the State last month I think it would be advisable to get them.” “What’s this,” Governor denly exclmmed, “a dictionary for the State Board of FEducation to cost $14? Why, this book was compiled in England, and the spelling is not correct in it. I don’t believe in purchasing it. If Super- intendent Black wants a dictionary let him purchase one compiled in America. This bill don’t go.” Then a lot of bills for supplies and sal- aries for the State printing office came un- der consideration. They received the sig- natures of the members until a plumbing bill in the sum of §220 52'was reached. “Here's something else don’t go,” said Governor Budd, as he cast a glance of re- proach over his spectacles at Secretary Markley. *“Now, this may be all right, but bills of this nature may always be re- garded with suspicion. This will be laid aside for investigation.” Sheriff Whelan of San Francisco, accom- panied by his attorney, W. H. Metson, was among the first in the Governor's office to-day when the board met. The Sheriff wants the money which he claims the State owes him for transporting prison- ers and insane persons from San Francisco to the different prisons and asylums in the State. He declared that since the organi- zation of the board it had continually ré- fused to allow his bills, alleging errors in them, and on account of this'he had some $5000 or §6000 tied up in the hands of the Examiners, and was compelled to borrow money to carry him through and pay big Budd sud- interest on it. The reasons that the Sheriff’s bills were not allowed explained to him by Sec- retary of the Board Markley, were: First, he persisted in_taking evening trains for Stockton and Napa, thereby consuming parts of two days when, if he took the morning train, he could:get back that evening. Second, that he charged for meals at Folsom and San Quentin when the Wardens of those 1nstitutions had in- formea the board that thev furnished meals free to all sheriffs and their deputies who came with prisoners. Third, that Sheriff Whelan and another Sheriff were the only officets .of the kind who refused to comply with the order of the board to return receipted bills or vouchers for all money paid. out by them. Fourth, that whenever the Sheriff or his deputies took a patient to Stockton their claims showed that they left on the even- ing of one day and arrived back in San Francisco at 10:45 next morning, yet they always charged for three meals, when it could not be understood how they could need more than supper and breakfast. In connection with this they charged for meals at Lathrop, en_route from Stockton to San Francisco, at 75 cents apiece, when the price for meals at that place was but 50 cents. “Furthermore,” Secretary Markley said, ‘“you make us more trouble than all the sheriffs in the State put together. Your bills are made out cavele vouchers from Stockton are put on Agneiws bills and in one place you charged $30 for railroad fare when you meant 40 cents.” In answer to these charges, Sheriff Whelan said that the law compelled him to take a patient to the asylum as soon as the commitment was made out. This was always done just before the adjournment of the court for the noon recess. He could not hold a patient until the next day, be- gause there were no facilities for kéeping im, Governor Budd called attention to a rul- ing of Attorney-General Fitzgerald that when any time less than twenty-four hours was consamed in transporfing a prisoner the board could only allow one day’s pay. Attorney Metson took exception to this, and said that it was a constitutional pro- vision that eight hours should constitute a day’s work. In regard to vouchers Sheriff Whelan said he was not surrounded by a gang of thieves, and did not propose making his deputies demand a receipted bill every time they ate a sandwich and drank a eup of coffee. He did not care if the Governor and all the rest of the State officials were willing to do it. He was not. If the Board of Examiners would not pay for meals at Folsom and San Quentin, all they had to do was to say so, an2 he would tell his deputies that they must go to the prisons to eat. If they only allowed 50 cents for meals at Lathrop, that was all right, and he would cell his deputie: “The Governor of the State doesnot con- sider it an insult to attach vouchers to his bills,” said Governor Budd, *‘and he is at least equal to your deputies.” The Sheriff said that he had to take the word of his deputies for their expenses, and he paid them accordingly. He had paid them in good faith, and he wanted the State to pay him. The Governor said that he understood that the Sheriff had no means of knowing whether his deputies told him the truth, and that the board in- tended to remedy this by making a change in their methods. Sheriff Whelan was then informed that in the future each dep- uty would be compelled to swear to his | ad own bill. “In this way,” Secretary of State Brown said, “if they commit perjury we will know what to do with them.” The board took no action in regard to the past claims of the Sheriff, but told him they would probably do so at the next meeting, when there will be a full meeting of the board. In the meantime Monday will be devored by the executive to mak- I ing a personal investigation of these ac- counts. During the early part of the year a reso- lution was passed by the board that in the future the State would pay for no more telephones used by State officials. If they wanted to ‘‘hel to each other they would have to pay for that luxury out of their own pockets. > Exception after exception has been made to this ruling, and telephones have been placed in the office of the Attorney- General in San Fraucisco aund in the offices of the Controller and Governor, These last two have entered a géneral complaint to the effect that, having the only telephones in_ the building with the exception of the public one in the rotunda, they are constantly bothered with calls for the other offices.” Warden Hale had a claim for a telephone between the gates at San Quentin, and on resolution the matter was laia over awaiting the opinion of the Attornev-General on the question, and it is more than likely that the telephones will be restored as needed WILL WARCH TO WEET CAMPOS. Cuban Armies to Combine Under One Com- mand and Strike With Boldness. PHILADELPHIA, P, Oct. 18.—The Cuban revolutionary party in Philadelphia announce that the Cuban leaders have de- cided that the waiting policy be changed to one of boldness. Already it is alleged there are a thousand revolutionists in the field around the city of Havana. Spain has repeatedly declared her inten- tion of crushing the rebellion this winter. The revolutionists are to take her at her word and face her on her own ground in Matanzas and Havana“provinces. General Maceo, with 2500 men, was at last " accounts preparing to go to Cama- guey to meet General Gomez, who is to have 2500 men also. By this time the conjunction of the two commands has been effected, and 5000 Cubans are on their way to where General Roloff is operating. Gomez and Maceo will wait in Las Vilas until'they hear of the arrival in Vuelta Abajo of Colonel Collazo. As soon as he lands with men and ammunition he will proceed to Mantanzas. The patriot army will march to meet him, led by Gomez. The combined army will be composed as follows: With Gomez 2500, with Maceo 2500 men, drawn from Roloff 5000; total, 10,000 men. The Cubans expect the march to Havana will be opposed by Campos himsel, leading 10,000 regular troops taken from Las Vilas and 5000 from Havana. APPROVAL OF THE. PLAN, SCHEME OF THE UNION PACIFIC REORGANIZERS MEETS WITH FAVOR. RECEIVER CLARK SAvs THAT ALL INTERESTS ARE To BE PROP- ERLY PROTECTED. OMAHA, NrsR., Oct. 18.—The plan of the Union Pacific reorganization commi tee, as published in the telegraph reports from New York, is the topic of discussion in local railroad circles. The officials gen- erally consider the plan an excellent one and the most feasible method of bringing the road out of its financial slough of despond and at the same time protecting all of the many interests involved. Re- ceiver Clark, on speaking of the plan as proposed, said: I consider it the best soluiion of the problem of tuking care of the property that has yet been offered. Itis the plan ggreed upon by the reorganization committee, composed of some of the best railroad men and ablest financiers of the country repre- senting the interests of the stockholders and bondholders of the system. The fact that all of the interests were represented in the committee on reorganization, and that the plan proposed met with favor from all of them, was evidence that all rights of the various holders of stock and bonds in the company were satisfied that their interests would be properly guarded and protected under the plan proposed. In brief, the reorganization plan contemplates the retirement of the various bonds of the company and the issuance in their stead of new bonds at a lower rate of interest, with provisions for the payment of the interest on the Government and other bonds now in default and the payment of the operating expenses of the system. Under the plan the new management will take hold of the road in January, 1897, at which time the present receivers will be retired from their positions.” S McKINLEY'S CAR OFF THE TRACK. The Gowernor and Party Badly Shaken Up, but None Seriously Injured. PAULDING, Osnro, Oct. 18.—Just after leaving Van Wert at 6 o’clock this evening the private car of General Manager Perris of the - Ohio Central lines, which had been placed at the disposal of Governor McKinley, and was attached to the Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw special train coming to this city, either jumped a switch or was thrown from the track by some person who turned the switch after the forward trucks had passed over. Bevond a good shaking upand a scare there was no damage done. In Governor McKinley's car there were at the time besides himself, General Bush- nell, Railroad Commissioner Kirby, A. B. Holcom, Frank 8. Monett, Urban H. Hes- ter, Colonel William Caitree and three or four other men, besides half a dozen news- paper men. The car had not gone far over the ties before all were on their feet, expecting every minute to be overturned. Mr, Kirby called to all to keep still, pulled the airbrake and in a moment the train had stopped. After some delay the pri- vate car was left behind and the train came on to this place. WOMEN OF NOTE GATHER. Daughters of the American Revolution at Atlanta. ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 18.—The Na- ttonal Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution met to-day in Con- gress Hall of the Women’s Building at the Exposition.

FIVE-CENT TICKETS MAY CARRY EXCURSIONISTS TO SANTA MoNICA. AGREEMENTS ARE SHELVED. THE TROUBLE STARTED BY CON- CESSIONS GRANTED TO BICYCLE TOURNAMENT VISITORS. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 18.--There is a rate war on between the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads. The Southern Pacific has spent about $20,000 at Santa Monica, building the finest bicycle track on the cogst and in other im- provements, and announced the opening events for to-morrow. The Santa Fe has also a line to Santa Monica, and there ap- pears to have been some agreement made between the representatives of the two roads as to the round-trip rate to be charged. The Southerr. Pacific announced recently that holders of tickets overitsline would be admitted to the ground free, a, privilege that is denied to the Santa Fe patrons. The latter road immediately be- gan to cut rates. The situation to-night looks as though a round-trip rate of 5 cents is among the possibilitics. ~Both com- panies claim they are right and express a determination to carry the largest share of the traflic. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Oct. 18.— The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rate- cutting war is on in earnest. Following the announcement that holders of South- ern Pacific tickets would be admitted to the Santa Monica bicycle tournament free of charge, the Santa Fe cut the rate from $1 50 to $1 25 and announced that it would keep 25 cents below any rate offered by its competitors. = The Southern Pacific met the reduction, but hedged by raising the price of admis- sion to the races at 50 cents to all except holders of Southern Pacific tickets, who would still be admitted free. The Santa Fe promptly saw it one better reducing the rate b; to 75 cents, whicfx gave it the best of it, as it would thus haul all of those who desired to go to Los Angeles or the coast without seeing the races. Later in the afternoon, however, they weakened and restored the rate to $1, where it now stands. — - SLUM POLITICIANS IMPLICATED. San Francisco Ward-Heelers Mentioned n Correspondence of Burglars. LOS ANGELES, CarL., Oct. 18.—Attor- ney Davis is endeavoring to secure tne let- ters that were introduced in the case of the convicted burglars, Davis, Moss and Jones. Itissaid that the San Francisco parties referred to in them are prominent in slum politics in the metropolis, and that the fact that the police in that City have not foilowed up the incriminating evidence contained in the missives gives evidence that the implicated men have a “‘pull.” It is questionable whether Attorney Davis will succeed, as Lang, who was regarded as the.ringleader of the gang of thieves, was released for lack of evidence. e idion EASTERN STAR OFFICERS. James Bestor Merritt Installed as Worthy Grand Patron. LOS ANGELES, Car., Oct. 18.—The ses- sion of the annual meeting of the Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star closed to-day.

Golden Gate Chapter No.1of San Fran- cisco was elected grand secretary for the thirteenth successive year. Mrs, Mary Dean of Veritas Chapter No. 84 of Colusa | was elected grand treasurer. The morning session was given to rou- tine business. ~ This afternoon installation of officers took place. — e THREATENED BY WHITECAPS. An Ex-Justice of El Monte Warned to Leave the Country. LOS ANGELES, Car., October 18.—Johr A. McGirk, a Justice of the Peace in Bi Monte township, who resigned his position on July 1 lagt, has presented to the Dis- trict Attorney two letters headed with skull and crossbones and signed by white- caps, threatening his life in case he did not | resign his position and remove himself from that vicinity. McGirk is under the impression that the letters were written by Broadhead, one of the witnesses for the prosecution in the Naramore murder case, and desired him bound over to keep the peace. ot City Funds Overdrawn. L0S ANGELES, Can, Oct. 18.—The finances of the city are in anything buta flourishing condition, as is shown by Au- ditor Teale's report for the week ending October 12 and which was filed with the City Clerk yesterday.

LOS ANGELES, CawL., Oct. 18.—The Board of Supervisors has grantea the Bi- cyele Road Association permission to im- prove the boulevard between Los Angeles and Banta Monica in accordance with the plans and specitications of the surveyor. —_— Forest Fires Raging. GREEN BAY, Wis, Oct. 18.—Fires which have been burning in thé marshes Mrs. Kate J. Willatts of- and forests near the city for several days in the hizh wind of to-day assumed dan- gerous proportions, and the likzlihood is that much_valuable farm property wiil be destroyed in spite of all precautions. To- day the pulp company’s buildings at Long Tail Point caught from a marsh fire and were destroyed, with some stock aud other property. The city is shrouded in dense smoke from the burning fires to-night. S BIG STRIKE OF COAL-MINERS. Twenty-Five Thousand Men Are Idle in Con- sequence of the Action of the Pittsburg Convention. BRADFORD, Pa., Oct. 18.—P.J. Meehan and Thomas Wilden of Dubois, Pa., are in the city soliciting aid for the striking miners of thé soft coal regions. They re- vort that every mine in Central and West- ern Pennsylvania is tied up, and that at least 25,000 men are idle as a consequence of the strike ordered by the Phillipshurg convention of Wednesday last. The strike is under the auspices of the United Mine-workers of America, and is ordered for the purpose of obtaining a 40 cent rate for each ton of coal mined. At present 30 and 35 cents are the prices pald per ton for mining. The strikers will not resort to violence, but are verv stubborn. The companies are determined to make a'firm stand against the demands of the miners, and a long and bitter strike is threatened. ST PR, RODE PAST THE ROBBERS. Champion Reading Had a Thrilling Ex- perience on His Wheel. FLEMINGTON, N. J., Oct. 18.—Asa B. Reading, Flemington’s champion bicycle rider, came near being shot by highway- men last evening. While turning the curve near the house of John Ewing he saw that the roadway had been obstructed by fence rails. Thinking of the recent hold-up of a bicycle rider and seeing a space barely a foot wide in the ditch that had been. left unvbstructed, Reading whirled through the opening at a record- breaking speed. Three men jumped from concealment and began firing at him. Five shots were fired. One of the bullets punctured his tire. The others whizzed past his ears. Reading did not stop until he reached Flemington junction. NDED BY THE REDSKINS, Brilliant Scenes at the Denver Mountain and Plain Carnival. Indian Sports Followed by Parades and Revelry In the Streets. DENVER, Coro., Oct. 18.— Upon the sloping surface of the half-mile bicycle track at City Park fully 50,000 people stood for three hours this afternoon watching with intense delight the Uteand Santa Clara Indidns at their games, racesand dances. In the center of the greatoval, excited by the thunders of applause from the spectators, the Utes gave their famous war dance with all the intensity possible. The squaws and papooses also participated in the fun. The Pueblo Indians excited the greatest attention because of their more picturesque attire. In the footraces the bucks were stripped almost naked and their copper skins fairly glistened with paints and oils. They closed their enter- tainment by giving several pony races around the oval. Six brass bands sta- tioned at intervals around the track fur- nished tie music for the occasion. While this entertainment was in progress at the City Park the downtown streets were wildly hilarious from noon until 6 P. M. by the antics of several thousand peo- ple en masque, who held the streets almost to the exclusion of traffic. In the morning there was a brass band contest in front of the mammoth grand stand and a series of miners’ drills for | prizes at City Park. Crowded into the day’s programme was a parade of the city Fire Department, the apparatus lavishly decorated with the carnival colors. At night the Mysterious Order of the Slays of the Silver Serpent gave a parade under the thousands of colored incandes- cent lights which made Sixteenth street so beautiful. Several thousand dollars had been expended by the order upon their floats, and the effect was dazzlingly bril- liant, rivaling the besi efforts of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras. The festival of Mountain and Plain closed at a late hour by a reception held in the Brown Palace Hotel by the officers of the Silver Serpent orderand a grand ball participated in by the Slavs and invited guests. This October festival has been the means of attracting the greatest crowds ever seen in Denver, and the success of the affair has established it asa permanent annual event. s ol A Terrible Boiler Explosion. PARIS, TEx., Oct. 18.—A courier reached here to-night bringing news of a terrible boiler explosion at N. K, Dillard’s mill on Slough Creek, twenty-two miles northeast of this city, this morning, in which George Johnson, "the colored- engineer, was killed outright; J. W. Jdckman, mortally wounded, and fiveor six others.badly in- jured, some of whom will prokably die. The body of Johnson was found some dis- tance from the place, torn and mangled in a frightful manner, a piece of iron having gone entirely through his body. R b e e === A Child Caught in Flames. ROTHSAY, Minx., Oct. 18.—This region has been swept the past two days by the greatest prairie fire ever known in this section of the Red River Valley. This afternoon when the fire reached the farm of Henry Timberlake, Mrs. Timberlake left her baby boy of 4 yearsand went to untie some horses which were in danger. ‘While she was gone the child was sur- rounded by the flames and perished. To- night it is snowing and it is believed the fire will be out. SR AR Swiftest in the Service. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 18.—The new rev- enue catter, William Windom, built at Dubugue, Towa, to succeed the obsolete side-wheeler Crawford at the Baltimore station arrived at the foot of Cass avenue to-day at 12:30 o’clock. Captain Brann is to command the Windom when she shall have been cgmmissioned. She has twin screws and triple expansion engines of 800- horsepower, which will drive the ship six- teen knots un hour, making her the swift- est vessel in the seryice. st PRsE b Found an Ancient Coin. NEW LONDON, Coxx., Oct. 18.—While digging under the courthouse here, which was built in 1874, a workman a day or two ago found an old coin, undoubtedly of Arabic or Moorish make. The coin bears date of 1285, and there are many theories afloat here to account for its presence. The most likely one associates it with the wreck of a Spanish galleon, which occurred some time in 1753, B eagRe s Bicycle Employes Strike. _TOLEDO, Omnro, Oct. 18.—To-day 2500 bicycle employes went on strike. All the bicycle fuctories of the city with the ex- ception of the Viking works are closed down indefinitely. f long and bitter struggle is looked for. The men ask for higher wages. JAWBONE PUGILISH. MORE TALK THAN FIGHTING IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, JIM CORBETT IN COURT. SAYS THAT HE DOES NOT INTEND TO VIOLATE ANY LAW IN SPARRING. HABEAS CORPUS PRAYED FOR. ‘WHILE AT LIBERTY, BUT WATCHED BY AN OFFICER, THE CHAMPION TaLks As UsuaL. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Oct.18,.—Cham- pion Corbett arrived in the city at 11:20 from his training quarters at Spring Lake and was met at the depot by Sheriff Houp?, Manager Brady, Joe Vendig and- other friends, and the officials of the Florida Athletic Club, There was also great crowd of people at the depot awaiting the arrival of the train. Corbett, Brady and the Sheriff hastily . entered a private carriage, which was in waiting for them, and drove directly to the office of the Justice of the Peace, W. A. Kirk, who appeared to be in readiness for the judicial proceedings that had evi- dently been agreed upon by the party. The Sheriff presented his prisoner to the court. At this juncture Mr. Martin, at- torney for Corbett, entered the courtroom and presented the following petition of Mr. Corbett: 2o Hon. Leland Leatherman, Judgeof the Chan- cery Court of Garland County—Your petitioner respectfully shows unto your Honor that he is unlawfully restrained of his liberty by Reb Houpt, Sheriff of Gariand County, Ark. That said Sheriff detains him by virtue of & warrant issued by W. A. Kirk, a Justice of the Peace in and for the said Garland County, & copy of wkich is hereto attached. Your petitioner further states that he has not violated any of the laws of the State of Ar- kansas, and that he does not contemplate or intend to violate the peace or dighity of said State, wherefore he prays that your Honor award him & writ of habeas corpus to the end that the cause of his detention may be inquired into and for other relief. Following is the writ upon which Cor- bett was arrested and brought before the Justice of the Peace: It appearing that there are good and suffi- cient grounds tor believing that J. J. Corbett is about to engage, and has threatened to engage, in a glove coutest and prize-fight with one Robert Fitzsimmons, in Garland County, Ark., and that the said glove contest and prize-fight will be of a character endangering human life, you are hereby commanded to forthwith arrest the said J. J. Corbett and bring him before me, 10 be dealt with according to law, The warrant of arrest was issued upon the statements of the prosecuting attor- ney. The petition of Corbett was granted and the prisoner was arraigned before Chancery Judge Leatherman at noon. Directly after the arraignment of the prisoner before the Chancery Judge ad- journment was taken until 1:30. At that hour the court reconvened, Attorney Martin anhounced that he was ready for trial. The first evidence intro- duced was the enactments of the Legisla- tures of 1891 and 1893, and from the House records it was plainly made to appear by the attorneys for Corbett that the enact- ment of the luws of 1891 was illegal because they passed by a viva-voce vote, instead of rollcall, as the constitution of the, State provides shall be done in all cases. The first witness to take the stand was Joseph Vendig, by whose testimony it was proven that the defendant had made an agreement to engage in a glove contest in this city, October 31, with one Rob- ert «Fitzsimmons for a purse of $41,000, under the auspices of the Florida Ath- letic Club. Before the testimony of Mr. Vendig was completed Attorney Martin requested the Chancellor to allow Mr. Corbett to depart for Little Rock, where he has an engage- ment to show to-night. The Chancellor granted the request, but required the Sheriff to send a deputy with him to see that he returned to-morrow. The court then adjourned until to-morrow at 1:30 P. M. A press reporter interviewed Prosecuting Atiorney Teague this morning as to the law which gives the Governor of the State power to send the State militia to any of the counties for the purpose of suppressing riots or mobs. Attorney Teague stated in effect that the Governor has no right to send militia into any county of the State without first having been called upon to do so by some of the civil authorities of the county in which the militia is to be sent, and that they were not to be called upon until the civil au- thorities found that they were not able to suppress the riot or mob, whichever it might be under the circumstances. N “In case the present proceedings that have been instituted go through, as the friends and backers of Corbett think they will, what will then be the attitude of the Governor?” “He will be tied up as tight as Dick's hatband,” replied the FProsecuting Attor- ney. *‘Then if Judge Duffie should call upon the Governor to send in the militia to stop proceedings would the Governor be com- pelled to do so?” “Yes, Ithink he would. He would be bound to respect the cail of the Circuit Judge in that case. But in the event that he should do so the militia would be under the orders of local peace officers.” ‘“What effect, if any, will a writ of habeas corpus have, supposing that the Chancery Judge should grant one?" “It will act as a check upon the officials. If we have no law they cannot violate one, hence the Governor would be powerless to the fight taking place on sehedule time at Hot Springs, and that is Fitzsimmons’ failure to materialize, and Bob will get out of coming if he possibly can. “I did not come to Arkansas to setat defiance her laws, and if our meeting is held it will be as all exhibitions I have engaged in have been—under police pro- eection. I will say that I shall work for the championship of America and the world if I go into the ring.” CARSON, Ngv., Oct. 18.—The Tribune this evening contains the following: This afternoon was decided by the syndicate as the time for making a move to secure the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, and this after- noon the wires conveyed Carson’s offer of $40,000 for the contest. There was no difficulty in raising the money, and as it seems to be settled that the mill cannot come off in Hot Springs, or, in fact, Arkansas at all, Carson sports think they have a very good show for the fight. Should the principals accept Ne- vada’s offer a large pavilion will pe erected at the racetrack. ON THE ASTERN TRACKS. Close of the Successful Kentucky Breeders’ Bleeting. LEXINGTON, K., Oct. 18.—The 1895 meeting of the Kéntucky Horse-breeders’ Association closed to-day in a blaze of glorious compliment from visiting horse- men, and, in fact, every one who has attended for the past ten days hasonly complimentary words to express of its being in every sense a success.

Stanford Football-Players Anxious to Begin Training Under the Famous Coach’s Directions. STANFORD, UNIVERSITY, Car., Oct. 18.—As was announced some time ago in Stanford players this year and will remain here until the big game with Berkeley has been won or lost. Man- ager Eaton made the announcement this afternoon that Camp was the man, but being ignorant of the route selected by the coach he could not say definitely when he would arrive. Cam has been expected here for some time an will doubtless arrive to-morrow, as he left New Haven on the 12th inst., as was an- nounced in a telegram some -days ago. He will bring his wife and son with him and expects to dwell on the campus. The students are greatly elated over the | prospects which Camp’s coming will surely brighten. Camp has a wonderful effect on the players and his supervision means everything. It was felt that his late arrival woulg be detrimental to the MORSE ELEGTRIC - BELT suppress something that is clearly no vio- | Don’t buy any other lation of law."” Manager Vendig to-day sent a telegram to Fitzsimmons' that if he isnot at Hot Springs by Monday the fight will be de- clared off. Martin Julian will arrive to- morrow, and Fitzsimmons is expected to follow soon after. The Sheriff to-day sent a letter to the Governor in which he invited his attention to the fact that hisrecord as Sheriff is spotless; that he has always done his duty faithfully, and said he feels competent to compete with whatever may develop in the present emergency, and should he re- quire assistance he would certainly call upon the Governor for it.
