Robert Gibson, aged eighty-five, once
a slave on Louisiana plantation and
since the war resident OF indianapolis,
is now caring for the daughter OF his old
master at his home here.
She is an invalid and in poverty. AL
though Gibson has served term in the
penitentiary, and for years has been al
most under constant watchfulness of the
police, he is seemingly atoning for all
his sins by this act of charity.
The woman he is caring for Is Mrs.
Sarah j. Clark, whose father before the
war was a planter in East Feliciana
parish.
While she was very young Mrs.
Clark's parents died and she became the
ward of Squire Boyd, of Lancaster. o.
Then she married Milton l.. Clark, a
captain in the Union army. who squan-
dered her fortune and then died of
wounds received in battle.
Since then Mrs. Clark has led wan
dering life, and finally reached Indian
apolis, when the old slave Gibson took
her in charge after he learned she was
an inmate Of the county asylum.
Mrs. Clark has been faithful to her
religion. and it was unavoidable misfor-
tune that caused her poverty and home
lessness.
She is an applicant for pension and
has been for years, but for some cause
the claim has not been allowed.

Challenging Sullivan.
NEW ORLEANS, March I. - Peter
Makers promising pugihstic career was
abruptly terminated by Wednesday
nights performance. This is the almost
unanimous sentiment Of representatives
Of the sporting fraternity Of the country.
Even the men who rejoiced over the
fact that their confidence in the Aus
tralian had brought them good financial
returns for the money they had put on
him have nothing but condemnatory
words for the Irishman. These, rs well
as others, bestow upon him the nick
name 1.-THE GUTTER English Charley
Mitchell well voiced the prevailing opin-
ion when in his rather. more expressive
than elegant English he said: .'Maher Is
the dirtiest cur that ever stepped into
the ring. He ought to be ashamed to
own himself an Irishman, and Irishmen
generally ought to be ashamed to own
him as representative of their nation.
He can't fight and won't fight" Last
night the men received their money
from the Olympic club, Fitzsimmons
getting 50 600 and Maher 81 .000.
At q private conference of the officers
of the Olympic club and prominent
sports last night Paddy Slayin an,
nounced that Charley Mitchell pur.
posed TO at once challenge John L. Sui
Ivan for $1,000 side for meeting ir
October, and that he would prefer that
the affair come off in the Olympic clut
| if the club would put up purse Of moi
less than $4,000. The suggestion wa,
favorably regarded by the members q
the club contest committee, but no def
mite action was taken. Slavin himself
says he purposes nothing until after tn,
meeting with Peter jackson, and should
he prove the winner will challenge any
body IN the world, Sullivan preferred.
