EitZSimmons in Training.

BAY ST. LOUIS. Jan. 9.-Your correspondent
called at the training quarters of Rob Fitz-
simmons to-day. and found him in the best of
health and spirits. He talks but little, and
takes life as easy as possible. He has nothing
TO say about his opponent, and is as modest
about his pugilistic powers as he is strong and
active. He was just in from one OF his l3-mile
walks; the last mile he made in minutes and
40 seconds, and he came in with bright eve,
a laugh, and looked as fresh as when he
started out. His work agrees with him: his
appetite is splendid and his digestion of the
very best. Soon after rising in the morning he
takes two eggs and a small glass of sherry. For
breakfast he has dry toast 3 or lamb chops
eggs fried or boiled. After his long run
he drinks his 21l pounds of beef tea sits for Is
minutes with heavy sweaters. after which he
gets good rubbing; and for dinner he has
broiIed chicken or rare roast beef or lamb with
plenty of vegetables. He finishes with custard
and fruit. Supper consists of cold meats or
chicken, dry toast, weak tea, stewed prunes
and other fruit After tea a stroll, a game of
cards, and to bed at o'clock. This section is
wild over him. Men, women and children shout
for "Fitz"

A Temporary Injunction Against the Union
Pacific at Omaha.
OMAHA, Jan. 9.-Another restraining
order was issued from the District Court to-
day, enjoining the Union Pacific Railroad
and the Omaha and Republican Valley
Railroad Company from interfering with
the traffic of the Rock island Company be-
tween Council Bluffs, Omaha, South
Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice and all interven-
ing points. Application for the order was
made yesterday. Proper papers were served
on Union Pacific officials yesterday at Lin
coin and Beatrice, and in Omaha this morn
ing. The order holds good until January
15. and restrains the defendants from inter
fering with the Rock Island on all switches,
sldetrseks and stations.
Iu brief, the order means that the Rock
Island, according to contract, must be per-
mitted to rnn from Council Bluffs across
the bridge. through Omaha and Lincoln to
Beatrice. The contract between the Rock
Island and the Union Pacific is almost
identically the same as the one between the
Milwaukee and the Union Pacific. The
Rock Island made no move to bring over
any trains or to profit in any way by the in.
juction. 1t was given out by local officials
of the road that nothing could be done be-
lore tomorrow, anG even then no physical
demonstration would take place, although
some informal movement may be made.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
/ WHEELING, W. VA, Jan. 9.-The very
inside of the new glass tableware combine
tion has been obtained from an entirely re-
liable source, and there can be no denial, as
the authority is from the center of the COM
bine. The combination is trust, pure and
simple. Nearly all, but not quite all, of
the present factories will be continued under
the same management. Two Pittsburg
factories, at least, and perhaps others, will
be disposed Of by the new combination. As
they are very we'll located, they will doubt
less be converted into other manufacturing
establishments. The other factories will be
retained, but will only be operated when
trade is brisk enough to warrant it.
The whole plot of the affair, however, is
that the present factories will be finally
abolished. The intention of the company is
to purchase, somewhere outside of any city
or town, In the natural gas field, as large a
tract of ground as may be required, and there
sink its gas wells, erect hundreds of houses for
its employees. and with churches, school houses
and business blocks, erect a town, to be sup
ported by their 80 or ~ furnaces, or even more,
If the trade requires It. This final result is only
a matter of time with the combine, If it pros
pers.
1t is expected by the members Of the trust
that all of the factories now in existence will
either sell out come into the combine, and
the few that are left are only delayed by few
legal formalities. The trust sees, is well
known to others, that the location of many of
the present tableware factories is very detri-
mental to their interests in the way of coal or
gas, or sand shipments for their goods, and pro-
poses to remedy this state of affairs by a GEN.
trail location of sufficient factories to supply
the trade, and at the same time be in the very
midst Of the best raw material that can be had.

H. o. Price. well-known in Pittsburg as one

working on a scheme, which, if successful, will
result in new running circuit of four cities.
including PIttsburg. He is at present ex-
the scheme, and is certain tha: it will be
carried on to a successful issue. During a
conversation with the writer yesterday, he
said:
I'VE have, in Cleveland been talking over
very quietly plan which will make a very
promising circuit of running meetings during
the spring or fall. Colonel Edwards is much
interested in it. Our idea is 10 make circuit
Of Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and Plttsburg.
! know that Detroit is willing make the
venture, and feel certain that if Buffalo and
Pittsburg get in line Cleveland will follow
suit From what have learned in Pittsburg
during the last few days, think it safe to say
that everything will be all right here. A few
of us have had the matter discussed and we
see no great difficulty in the way''
Sir. Price was asked when the proposed race
meetings would be held. aud he said: I'VE
can fix that later on. We will! have to see
whether the spring or fall would be the more
suitable. We would have to catch the horses
either coming to or from the East My idea is
to have eight weeks racing at the four cities;
that is two weeks at each place. The book
makers fees would pay the expenses. and we
could get good list of horses. Beside. the
way we have figured the matter out we could
give good purses: purses that would attract the
attention of owners. l am certain that run
ming meeting at Homewood during May or
June would pay. At any rate we are going to
do our best to make the thing go. We have
been promised lots of help, and most certainly y
the circuit mapped out is good one"

Governor Hovey Opposes Features Of the
Australian Ballot System.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. Ex-Governor
Hovey's message was transmitted to the
Legislature this morning. In referring to
the new election law the document SAYS that.
in depriving the elector of the right to vote
for any man for any Office, whether he has
been nominated or not, the law robs him of
his constitutional right The Chief Execu-
tive suggests that the law be so amended as
to make the ballot "free." He also deplores
the cost of elections and recommends that
the assessment OF candidates for Office by
committees be made criminal.
The Governor calls attention to the fact
that great preparations are being made bv
several States to make exhibits at the
Worlds Fair, several Legislatures having
appropriated $780, 900 for the purpose.
Indiana. he says, should not be behind her
sister States. The message recommends the
appropriation of no particular amount. The
message concludes with the suggestion that
in view of the financial condition, the
Legislature will be compelled to raise the
taxes to at leastY25 cents to S10O, or to
authorize the State officers to. borrow more
money for future expenses.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAroH.i
MANSFIELD VALLEY. Jan. 9.-An exciting
fishing episode happened here to-day. A large
crowd gathered on the Main street b,idge and
were watching the efforts OF German carp to
free itself from the bank, when w. E. Yates,
ex-Postmaster, dashed into the water and cap
tured the fish after hard struggle.
1t was taken to pair of scales and weighed
13 pounds measuring over three feet and as
broad as 1t was long. 1t is thought the carp es-
capped from a pond at Canonsburg during the
recent high tide and got this far. when it was
stranded. After the fish was weighed it was
thrown into the water again andts now on its
way down the river.
