crowd was by no means b0ister0us or turbu-

pion,.s, father received congratulations from
all sides. Handshaking and good wishes

Corbett Sr. was 80 completely overjoyed
with the news OF his sons success, that he
repaired Immediately after the result was
announced to his residence on Hayes street
TO meet his family and friends, where a
pleasant evening was spent and good time
enjoyed over the news Of James j. Corbett
being crowned champion pugilist Of the

Before the battle was begun Harry Cor
bett with all due credit to John l.. Sulli-
van, placed the big fellows photograph over
the bar, and ON each side of the famous
gladia picture were hung the likenesses
Of champions Jack McAulffe and George
Dixon.
The two latter pictures were tastefully
decorated by Al Lean with profusion Of
flowers.

he held for so many years, puglliStlcaily
speaking.

A cheer. which must have been heard at
the Corbett residence, came from the lungs
OF the surging mass of men who had COM
pletely taken possession OF the Do0lro0ms,
and three cheers and a tiger were then
heartily given for the young Olympian as
his face was turned toward the crowd OF
anxious people who watched the floral art
ist putting the evergreen finishing touches
on the carte de visite of the most polished
boxer and pugiliSt the world has ever seen.
Thousands OF dollars were lost in this city
on the result. The betting up to the time
the men entered the ring was $50 to SO with
Corbett on the short end, and at these
figures Corbett money was very scarce.
The general sporting public seemed to
think that Corbett could not possibly stand
up to Sullivan for many rounds and as
consequence numbers of heavy wagers
were laid that the fight would not last thir-
teen rounds.
The combination pools were knocked sky
high by Corbett's defeat of Sullivan.
1t was the greatest surprise the PUBLIC
ever had In the way OF pugilistic contest,
but as The CALL stated In last Sundays
sporting column, jackson had fooled the
aud the probabilities were that 'Onr James
would fool the knowing ones also."
A number of people who had carefully
read and thought over the article in ques-
ton came to the wise conclusion TO either
leave the fight severely alone from betting
point OF view, or lay q little on C0rbetts
great cleverness and ring generalship as
against Sullivan's phenomenal hitting pow

AN INDIANA TRAGEDY.
Fatal Result Of Family Quarrel-Two Men
Killed

Fatal Result Of a Family Quarrel-Two Men
Killed
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. IA terrible
affray occurred at Payne. in this county, at
i o'clock this morning, In which two men
were killed, one at the hands of bis son-in-
law and the other by the enrage6 daughter
of the victim. Shortly after midnight
Richard Wright and his daughter were
awakened by shout a short distance from
them.
Wright. recognizing the voice as that Of
his son-in-law. Dole Judah, went to the.
door and started to the fence. when a shot
was fred by Judah. Wright ran into the
house, where he secured an ak, and started
toward Judah, when terrific scntfle en-
sued. The old man was shot three times
once in the head and twice in the neck.
During the struggle with Judah, old man
Wright called for his daughter to knock
Judah off with the ak he had. The daugh-
ter secured the ak, and just as Judah shot
the last time she struck Judah terrific
blow on the back of the head, killing him
instantly. Both men lay dead on the grass.
Judah was in Bloomington last night and
was drinking heavily. He had trouble with
his wife that afternoon. and it is supposed
he went TO his fatheT-in-law's with the in-
tention of killing the old man, and also his
wife, but the wife was not there. Wright
was about 90 years old and Judah 80 years
and a hard character.
