BALTIMORE, MD, September 3.-The
Corbett special, which composed tho
second section OF the regular thirty
nine hour limited Of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad, left Jersey City
sharp az 4;45 p. m.
1t was composed OF eight sleeping
coaches and carried 100 passengers
from New York City. Two more sleep
ers are 10 be taken on at Washington.
The sleeper ld,ewide wGs chartered es-
pecially by a party from Newport, con-
siSting OF Royal Phelps Carroll, Charles
Foxhall Keene, Edward Buckley. Julian
Potter and Joseph Stevens.

stances TO second Corbett
At a. meeting OF tho board held on
Thursday 1t was decided that as this
was a battle IN which II was generally
supposed the two leading athletic clubs
OF New York City we're taking sides
with the respective pugllists, 10 would
be advisable 10 not have their club rem
resented in any official capacity; that
there were just as many members OF
the New York Athletic Club who felt
that Sullivan would win as there were
that favored Corbett.
Consequently all those members OF
the club who went down 20 tho fight
would have 10 go there as private indi-
viduals and not as body from the
club. Mr. Arthur B. Conway has $40
with him from New York to place on
Corbett at the best odds be can get a.
the ring side.
Tho choice combination OF the gem
tlemen on the Corbott special Is Corbett,
McAullife and Dixon, although there
are some very strong Sullivan men Ia

sible for the bic fellow 90 loose.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, September g.
The Sullivan car OF the Sullivan special,
at Oakdale was detached TO avoid the
possible detention in Tennessee OF Sui
livan's backer. Charlie Johnson. There
is a warrant still alive against johnson,
being a legacy of the Sullivan and Kill
rain encounter in New Orleans two
wears ago. A small crowd was at the
station as the main section OF the train
stopped in Chattanooga. They were
disappointed at not finding the cham
pion aboard and few knew the champion
was at the time passing around the out
skirts OF the town.
Meanwhile Sullivan had been awaken
ed aud he went to the baggage car
with his trainer about 1880 o'clock.
There he tossed the five pound leather
bag twenty minutes and then skipped
the rope 800 times. This exercise, the
first since Thursday, brought out a
profuse prespiration. The rubbing
down followed, and then Sullivan with
q sponge and a bucket OF ice water ad-
ministered to himself shower bath.
Il am not stuck on this. now, can tell
you" he said.
While Sullivan was being rubbed he
was observed by man who saw him
fight Ryan. and who has not since then
seen Sullivan stripped. He was asked
his impression as to the champions con-
dtion.
''He is not the same appearing man
now as he was them" was the reply.
"He has lat not only on his abdomen,
but on his back and arms. Sulivans
buttocks are also fleshy, and that por-
tion of the body tigntens up in training
as quick, If not quicker, than auy other
part. II the buttocks have not tight
ened up it is safe to conclude there Is
fat elsewhere on his body. Sullivan
shows his years, too, more than had

PARKERsBURG, September a. A
heavy freight train loaded with iron ore
left the track on the long trestie at
Point Pleasant last night and tore the
trestle TO pieces. Ten or twelve cars
were piled up at the bottom Of the deep
ravine, sixty feet below the trestle, in q
mass of iron and timber. Several cars
are still suspended over the sides and
broken ends of the trestle. The wreck
is costly one, as the cars will oe a
total loss. The treStle is about ruined
and the iron ore is in such place and
condition as to make it almost impos-
sible TO save it.
Passenger trains are transferring at
the wrecked treste and all trains are
delayed Nobody was hurt.

A Prospcctor,s Rich Find.

GREED, Colo, Feb. 90. : Prospector
Henry Brandt has discovered a mine
which in a moment raises him from com
parative poverty to opulence. His find
was cavern, the roof of which vaulted
and hanging with stalactites, showed
groupings of pure silver ore running $40
to the ton. Besides thesilver the cavern
contains utensils, skeletons and remains,
evidently those of cliff dwellers. but the
antiquarian discovery is lost in interest
in the phenomenal silver find Brandt
reported the find here and the people
went wild. Hundreds went to the Cliff
Dweller claim, as it is called, at once.
Brand was offered $4,000 cash for
the claim by syndicate Of California
capitalists, but he refused it.

Another Tie.up in indianapolis.

INDIANAPoLls, Ind, Feb. 23.-Not a
street car is moving in Indianapolis, and
it is hardly probable that any will move
until police protection is given to the
company's employees. Mayor Sullivan
still refuses to furnish police to assist in
running the cars, and President Frenzel
says that they cannot be moved until
protection is given. One effort was
made to take out horse car, but the
strikers pushed it back into the barn
and bolted and barred the door. The
company has eight barns, each Of which
is guarded by from 50 to 2U0 strikers and
sympathizers to prevent any attempt to
run cars A compromise or concession
by either side seems remote possibility.
