)uldnt IL is certainly unusual 10 see
five contests in preparation. each one
involving a champion. 1t might be
said, perhaps, that the Corbett-Sullivan
match did not, strictly speaking, in
clude champion, because OF the state
ments which have been attributed to
Sullivan to the effect that he had re-
tired from the ring, but the great pub
lie refuse to regard Sullivan as a re-
tired champion. Their belief that he
was still in the ring was not shaken by
the interviews printed and attributed
to him previous to the Corbett-J Jackson
match, wherein he admitted, or was
said to have admitted, that the two
men were to fight for the championship,
that Slavi7 could fight the winner, and
that, perhaps, he himself would then
give the best man chance
The Slavin-J ackson fight includes the
championship of Australia. There has
been some dispute as to whether it is
Slavin or jackson, but the champion is
certainly there, anyway The Mel
bourne Sportsman regards Jackson as
champion and the Sydney referee holds
Slavin to be entitled to that honor.
am inclined to think that Slavin is
champion. He has beaten Farnsworth,
who has beaten jackson. Slavin was
in Australia when jackson was in
America. At that time in the land of
the kangaroo Slavin was meeting all
corners and beating everybody. In order
to be champion jackson should have re-
turned and challenged the man who
was making such a record, or rather
have accepted a challenge from him.
However, they are matched now, and if
the fight comes to a decisive issue the
question will be settled.
Slavin is really champion of England,
though they hesitate to recognize him
over there. They really have no heavy
weight who can go against him. But
the English have a prejudice in favor of
theold-fashioned fight to a finish with
bare llnuckles in the ring. That is non
sense now. Championships are decided
with the gloves, and one must be up
with the times. You win get thou
sand men to glove fight for hundred
that you get to a fist fight. The day Of
the bare knuckle battle has gone by
and l am glad of it.
After these two heavyweight battles
the winners can fight for the champion
ship of the world and no man is cham
pion of the world till that time Wher
Kilrain and Sullivan fought, it was
not for the championship OF
the world. because Kilrain had
got no better than draw out Of Smith,
who was still regarded as champion of
England, while Slavin was champion of
Australia The Sullivan-Corbett match.

A TERRIBLE WRECK.
A Train Goes Down into the
River in the Night.
Three Men Injured and a
Tramp Supposed to be
Killed.

Last night about o'clock, rs a
local freight traiu of the G. II. V. &
Y. r.. r. on the river division, was
crossing the long trussel bridge at
Bates about two and u half miles
below Logan, the bridge gave way
and II or 18 cars went down in II
wreck in the river. The engine
was left standing on the abutment
on this side and the caboose and "a
few cars on the other side.
The fireman, Fred Moorehcad
and the engineer, Uriah Brown,
jumped from the engine. Moore
head had his arm broken and
Brown was severely injured about
the head. The brakeman, Walt
Norris, received cut in the side OF
the forehead, but is not seriously
hurt. Brown is seriously hurt and
the extent of his injuries is not yet
known. He was conscious when
brought home last night but was
unable to talk.
1t was rumored that a tramp
was on the train and went down
with the wreck into the river.
On account of darkness, and sud-
denness of the accident none of
the boys seem to know how it hap
pened. DR.. Campbell looked after
each case promptly.

He Is A Democrat,

Adlai e. Stevenson Is giving the
very patriotic element of the pro-
lection robbers a great deal of
trouble. They say he was knight
of the Golden Circle thirty years
ago. If there were ever such a
society, or order, or association as
the knights, aforesaid, the proof of
which is extremely mythical, it's
mission, if it had one, is long ago
ended, and its ranks and member
ship disbapded a quarter of cent
nry ago.
Mr.. Stevenson was not a member
of any such organization, but he
was then and always has been since
a Democrat. This is the cause
that agitates the sappy headed
patriots who so persistently stick
to this lie of their own cOncoction.
If Mr.. Stevenson was IA Repub-
iican he might during war times
have been IL rebel of the most viru-
ient type and he would be landed
as saint, in the same manner as
the guerrilla Mosby.
Mr.. Stevenson's Democracy is
the source of all the trouble.

If it be true, as testified, that
Carnegie's clean profits in one year
are a million and half dollars and
that his skilled workman are able
to build homes worth two or three
Thousand dollars in six years time,
it is about time that farmers and
mechanics began to inquire into
the matter and to understand why
Pennsylvania is II high protective
tariff state. Neither is it strange
that the Homestead workers
should insist that their fractional
part of the benefits be not cut
down, for their name and by their
votes is it secured? However the
present conflict shall terminate, the
people will come to understand
that the iron and steel industry in
this country no longer needs sup
port from the governmental Toledo

They Were HOOdOOed.

The farmers of the eastern belt
of Ohio counties are nearly all
wool growers, and in 1890 and 1891
they were led away by the specious
arguments of Mckinley, so that
many of the Democrats voted the
Republican ticket or the Peoples
party ticket, or did not vote at all.
For IA very good reason the prom
ises made to them have not been
fulfilled, and the result is, they are
back in the Democratic fold with
no fdanger of their straying off
again. The Mckinley tariff did
not increase the price of wool for
the farmers, as was promised it
would, but on the contrary the
price has gone steadily down until
now wool brings about 6 cents "a
pound less than it did two years
ago. This is reason enough for
declaring, that not only will the
Democratic farmers get back where
they belong, but that many Repub-
licans will follow their good exam
pie and vote of CLEVELAND

A BLAINE BI.UNDEE.

Secretary Blaine is out N q communi.
cation defending the action Of the
Blatncs in their course against Marie
Nevins Blaine, the now divorced wife of
James G. Blaine, Jr. 1t is tho lamest
thing Mr.. Blaine has done lately. Ifhe
were to break silence at all, it should
have been at the trial, the proper place
for defense.
The facts, even as brought out by Mr..
Blaine himself, show Mrs. Blaine. Jr.,
to be a smart, spirited, clear-headed
young woman, just the ono to take his
weak, facilitating, wild and worthless
son and make a man of him. 1t should
have been lucky day for young Blaine
whom she married him.
Mr.. Blaine publishes his letter to
Father Ducey, pastor of st. Lco's
Church, in New York, who married the
young couple on dispensation from
Archbishop Corrigan, but fails to pub
lish Father Ducey's reply. That will
soon be brought to light and will provo
interesting reading.
