ARRIVAL OF THE FIGHTERS.

Sullivan Enters the Club First and Corbets

The excitement that has prevailed In
this city all this week has had no
parallel since the Italian assassination
eighteen months ago. There has been no
other subject of conversation discussed ia
any quarter save the event of the evening
in which every portion of the civilized
world has been more or less deeply inter-
ested. The scenes have been animated from
morning to night. reaching their height
as darkness fell over the Crescent City.
The crowds on the streets have grown day

visitors was as great as the crowds of

There was universal movement IN the
direction of the club even before the
shades of evening had begun to fall. Bus
mess men. clerks. and lawyers and journal
lists took their dinners down town and had
their vehicles ordered early. They were
willing to wait at the club. bS. they were
unwilling TO waste time going down. At
o'clock the carriages were already head
ing down town. Canal street was crowded
with people and alive with We.
and the broad boulevard carriages
were racing TO tho scene of battle. The
evening was hot. and windows ana doors
were wide open and dark with occupants-

EVANSVILLE, Sept. IA case of supposed
hydrophobia has resulted from the bite OF a
ferocious dog belonging to Mr. Schreiber, who
lives in this city. Several were bitten by the
dog, among them being Mr.. Antoine Burhoff, O
farmer. living three miles below the city. For
some time Mr.. Burhof has acted strangely, be-
ing morose. inclined to get off by himself. and
displaying great fear that some calam-
ity was about TO overtake him -symp-
toms of melancholia As the trouble
seemed TO grow worse, DR.. Bitz was
sent for and decided that Burhoff was
suffering from hydrophohia and to-day had him
removed TO St Mary's Hospital. The case is
thought to he a hopeless one, and the mans suf-
ferings during his spells of delirium are simply
excruciating. The sight OF water throws him
into convulsions. but at times his mind seems
clear. only that he fears some lurking foe at all
times Els eyes glare and when the par0xysms
attack him his appearance is frightful. He
froths at the mouth, snaps, snarls and growls,
and his appearance Ia such "a to make .he
strongest man recoil. DIR. Bitz says it Is hardly
possible for him 10 live more than four or five
0ays.

How Cost of Rails Has Decreased In
Twenty Years.

How Cost of Rails Has Decreased In
Twenty Years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ii. W. Holley and Miss Mabel
Eolley, of Spokane, are at the Northern hotel
Mr.. Holley, who Is an old resident of Mime
sofa, is now looking over this state with view
TO settling In Washington. He came to Mime
sofa in 1855, while il Was yet territory In
those days he took an active part In politics,
and was member OF the constitutional con
vention and also Of the first state legislature.
From lS6l to 1865 he was register of the
Wnnebago City land Office. After that he
took an active interest in railroad building and
rairoading.
az remember" said he last night. "when our
nearest railroad was az Dubuque. 400 miles away.
We came the rest of the way to -. Paul by boat.
Though the Mississippi is naYigable TO ST. Paul,
yet the railroads have nearly killed navigation
there. Ample proof has been giyea there OF the
falsity of the old saying that railroads never
compete with boats in carrying freight. The
railroads take most of the freight, and the
steamers can beat them only when a whole
cargo of nails or some such thing is brough: all
the way by water from Pittsburg. The average
merchant, however, cannot order cargo Of nails,
and for small quantities railroad freights are
lower-and then, too, transportation is quicker.
This decrease In charges has been brought
about, not rs the grangers imagine, BY their
ranting and their anti-monOPoly laws, but by
the cheapering of the cost OF operating roads
"a railroad does not cost as much u build and
maintain as il used 70. In 1858 and 1859 I was
interested in the construction of the southern
part Of the Milwaukee ii -. Paul system. Our
rail cost "a then so ton laid down in New
York, and we had to pay $40 more to get them on
the ground where we wanted them. Those
rails were OF iron, worth In use soy half as much
az the steel rail of today. Yet We can buy that
rail for s35 ton. so you see that taking every
thing into account, rails cost only one-iourth OF
what they once did.
and every cut in the cost Of rails has been
followed by an inevitable cut in freight and
passenger rates"

HALF FORMED COAL.
A Vein of 1t Underlying the
Hills of Seattle.
VEGETATION OF A PAST ERA.
Outcroppings of the Streak Where Soil
IL Worn Away Grain Of
the Wood.

Few people are aware that vein of half
formed coal underlies the hills on which
Seattle is built. This streak of vegetable
matter lies in the clay usually thirty or
forty feet below the surface, but in places
where the soil has been worn away it crops
out, and workmen who are grading now
and then strike into it.
When the cut was made in Cherry street
between Fifth and Sixth. the layer was
found not more than six or seven feet
down. In the deep cut in front of the
Denny hotel the streak from one to three
feet in thickness ran at a level about
twenty feet down. Not long ago the
graders on Eleventh steeet found q huge
boulder which they got rid of by digging
deep pit into which they rolled ii. In their
excavation, however, they went down
through this layer of peat. or whatever it
may be called
This stuff is soft, and cuts as easily as
clay. While in some places ii has become
quite black and hard, in others it is soft
like rotten wood. The layer is dense one,
with very little dirt in it. 1t is evident
that the vegetation of which it is formed
was like that of today, for in some places
the wood is so well preserved that the diff
ference between fir and cedar can be de-
tected by the practiced eye.
Since those trees grew the whole sur
face of the country has apparently been
plunged for years below the level of the
ocean, tor in the highest hills O compact
layer of gravel and clay, seve nty or more
feet thick, completely covers the deposit
of wood and bark and leaves. The stuff
is saturated with moisture. but when dried
out it burns readily.
