rHE sLAoE-MITCHELL FIGHT OFF.
The Pugil.sts Are Afraid 10 Brave the
Chances of the Kansas Penitentsary.


Chances of the Kansas Penitentiary. /,
ATonINsoN, KANSAS, August 31.-Wil-
liam i adden, manager of Charles Mitchell,
the English pugilist, arrived here last night,
aud, after conference with Harry J. Rice,
manager of Herbert A, Slade, the following
statement of facts was agreed upon:
"Being notified by tie authorities, and
knowing 1t was AN impossibility for the
Slade Mitchell prize fight to take place uD
less ali connected with it took big risk of
going to the penitentiary, l proposed to
Slade's manager, II. j. Rice, to draw the
fight off, and he accepted on condition
that is understood to declare the fight off
Both Nj chell and Slade have received the
following latter from the County Attorneys
of the counties in which they have both
been training, and as "a result both have
given up training, as he laws are too strict
to permit it without danger to their per
sonal liberty" WILLIAM MADDEN,
For Charles Mitchell.
HENRY j. RICE,
For Herbert A. Slade.
The letter referred to above is as follows:
"GENTLEMEN: l sre by the papers you
are preparing to fight prize fight. / wish
to notify you that under the Kansas statutes
1t is a penitentiary offense, either to practice
or fight. Hence, any attempt on your part
10 90 eltner VIII certainly get you INTO
trouble. While have no advice to give
you in regard to this immoral practice,
wish to say that the law will be strictly en-
forced"
JOHN LITTLE, Prosecuting Attorney.
A letter of the same tenor and force was
received by Mr.. Rice from the Governor of
the State.
New YORK, August 81. Richard K. Fox
has just received telegram from his repre-
sentative at Atchison, Kansas, to the effect
that the coming fiPht between Mitchell and
Slade has, owing to trouble with the author
tiles In that district, been declared off.
Consequently the stakes are withdrawn and
all bets declared off.
Harry Hill said tonight of the Slade-
Mitchell failure: "If it is impossible to have
the fight within 100 miles of Kansas City, as
agreed upon another battle ground will have
to be selected. l am the stakeholder and
there will be q fight somewhere before sur
render the stakes" The fight will probably
take place, he thinks, in the neighborhood
of New Orleans.
CHICAGO, August 31.-Jem Mace, the
hacker of Slade in the proposed fight with
Mitchell, received a telegram to-day from
Harry Hill, of New York, the stakeholder,
asking If the fight was declared off and
draw. Mace telegraphed in reply that he
regretted to say such was the case. Mace
says that Slade will join him in Minneapolis
next Sunday.

We Not Have Local Option?
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: Sir
Whereas, the dominant political parties of
the State of Delaware are indifferent to re-
form on the question of curtailing and sup
pressing the sale of Intoxicating drinks
Therefore, we, the undersigned, will sup
port with our vote and Influence independ-
ent candidates for office who are publicly
pledge for prohibition or local option. And
Furthermore, we will stand firm by our in
dependent party, until we shall be assured
by either the Republican or Democratic
parties, by the public incorporation into
their platforms of the principles of prohibi-
tion or local option, then in that event We
may be at liberty to cast our vote in favor
of such parties.

The New Baltimore and Philadelphia.


In talking with a prominent man in the
Baltimor and Ohio railroad yesterday he
told me that the road that they were now
building from Baltimore to Philadelphia,
would cost SlO0, 900 mile, and that thsy
had already borrowed S12, 900 in Europe
to build. He said that the greatest mistake
Mr.. Garrett ever made was to build the
Chicago branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
road, which had never yielded any return.
The same gentleman thought that the new
Baltimore and Philadelphia road would take
a good deal OF freight tonnage from the
Pennsylvania, which now receives all the
Baltimore and Ohio freight for New York
that does not go around by sea.
