New YORK, August 94-The question
which is agltating the minds OF the puohc
at present is the style OF lighting Corbett
viii adopt in his great battle with John l..
Sullivan.
None of the big betting men believe that
he will stand up in front Sullivan and
attempt TO deliver blow for blow. go
The general impression is that he will
follow the Charley Mitchell tactics, and
act on the defensive and try 10 avoid pun
ishment as much as possible in order 10
tire Sullivan out and get him worried and
ratified before going at him.
There are men, however, who firmly beM
lieve that Corbett Is too much OF gentlet
man 10 do the "shifty act, and his masr~
ness will induce him 10 stand UP IKE n
stone wall and fight for his life like hero.
If he is composed of such noble senu-
ments as this, aud does stand up like
solid wall, IL is the general opinion that
Sullivan will induce him 10 change bis
tactics before the close Of the first round,
as there is not one person in thousand
who believes Corbett will stand ghost OF
a chance with Sullivan III he stands right
up and fights him.i
From the large amount OF wrestling Cor
bett has been doing in his training and
with different big men, 10 is suspected by
Sullivan and his associates that Corbett
intends 10 DO an immense amount OF hug
gng, and the greater portion OF his time
will be spent hanging around Sullivans
neck, trying the big fellow To death with
his weight.
II Is very much more tiresome 20 fight a
man who is constantly dragging on you
than IL is one who runs away. as you are H.
able 20 whip yourself trying 10 shake him
of, while you can easily wait for the
sprinter 20 come 10 you.
Sullivan fully expects Coroett 90 adopt
this style OF lighting aud therefore has
been practicing very carefully on short
arm work. lie will endeavor TO always
keep one arm free and will pump his fist
Into Corbett's stomach aud ribs as long as
ne can keep bis arm free and he will com
mence this short work punching, every
time Corbett runs in and olinches.
Sullivan, however, thinks Corbett does
not amount 10 much as fighter and con
templates winning very easy victory.
He does not expect tho fight 10 last much
over six rounds, and 10 fact will be sur.
prised if lasts that long. "All the train.

Sweepey's advantage will flow from the

feeling here is that he will adopt one OF

Central traffic is going forward with

ly drops out OF consideration as 10 the
effects Of the recent strike upon its bus

The same may be said to be true OF
the Lake Shore and Erie and other
lines. originally involved in the switch

Hence the four riotous strikers who
were companions of Manahar, who was
yesterday shot by Twenty-second reg

fore Judge Green. They were COM
mitted to await the action OF the Grand

In Murder.
Sprcia! Te,eorGm to the Register.
BARNEsvILLE, o., August PA row
which may end In the death OF one OF
the principals occurred here this morn
ing. John Grayem, carpenter OF this
place, while engaged in blasting a well
on the premises of Robt. Huut, OF South
Chestnut street, hit VIM. Davis (col-
ored), OF GAINESVILLE, and severely and
perhaps fatally injured him. Davis
came here about TWO months ago as
foreman Of n gang Of workmen employed
by Mr.. E. NJ. Ayres, Of GAINESVILLE, for
the purpose Of laying the paved
streets. He was always thought to be
quiet, modest gentleman, and con-
siderable regret Is expressed for his
misfortune. Just how the row in
augurated is hard to determine, but IL
would seem that Grayem aud others
were using very heavy blasts In the
well and that it threw large pieces OF
rock and dirt into the street where
Davis aud his men were working, thus
making il very dangerous Tor
them. Davis went to where they
were blasting to demonstrate
when he was told TO leave the premises,
which he refused to do. After some
words, Grayem, who was standing near
some lumber, picked up piece OF two
by six ecantling aud struck Davis over
the head with it, knocking him to the
ground. He was Immediately carried TO
Folger's boarding house, where Drs.
Trimmer and Willows were called, and
after thorough examination his skull
was discovered to be cracked. 1t is not
thought be can recover. Grayem was
arrested, but has since been released on
Q $500 bond. While the friends of both
parties regret the occurrence, the pub
tic sympathy seems to be with Davis.
