THE BIG FIGHTERS.
Corbett Said to be in the Pink of
Condition.
Jake KIIrain has Become a Sullivan
Man and Says His Late Opponent
is "a wonderful man.-What he
Thinks of COrbett.

AsBURY PARK, August 15.-Corbett is in
the pink of condition, bnt in order not to
train down too fine he will do no more
training until Tuesday, Phil Dwyer was
an interested visitor al the cottage yester-
day He looked over the California boy
carefully and was perfectly satisfied with
his appearance. Corbett was measured for
his lighting shoes They will be No. 1917
In speaking Of Dominick McCaffrey, who
says he is in better condition today than he
ever was in his life, Oorbett said 81 make
this proposition to him. Whether l win
or lose the fight with Sullivan, l will be in
New York September 12 and prepared to go
to the Manhattan club where McCaffrey is
boxing instructor, and stop him in four
rounds in the presence Of his pupils, or /
will give him 81 900 if he will stand before
me four rounds at Madison Square garden
on the evening OF September 12, or, if this
is not satisfactory, / will give him $3.50 for
each round that he survives. AS McCaf-
frey has ample time TO prepare, this will
eftectually prove that my victory over him
was not scratch, as he calls It,"
NEW YORK, August 15.-Jake Kilrain is a
Sullivan man now. To an intimate friend
who visited him in Baltimore a few days
ago, Jake gave his ideas Of the coming
fight. 81 think Corbettis one Of the shift
est men / ever saw" said he, "but he does
not class with John i. Sullivan aa fight
err When l met Corbett in New Orleans,
was really surprised at his cleverness.
Had 1 known how shifty he was / should
have done some training, 1 noticed one
thing about Corbett He does not like in
lighting. Every time we got at close quar-
ters / punched away at his wind. One
hand free, had perfect right to do so,
but he appealed TO the referee and
no in-fghting was allowed after the
third round What will he do when a
man like Sullivan pounds his wind2 Cor
bett himself is anything but hard punch
er. They can all talk about Sulliyans
broken down condition and all that. He
is a remarkable man and can fight twenty
four hours at stretch il he is properly
trained"

no good to the south can come from the

northern capitalists to invest there. All
we want down there is money. We have

Every state is rich in minerals and timber.

PITTsBURG, August 15.-Anarchist Knold
who was released on bail Saturday night,
does not feel sanguine as to the outcome of
the case against him. He said: 81 am
almost positive l will be convicted, not be-
cause am in any way guilty of planning
the assault on Frick, or because was in
any way implicated in the attempted as
sassination, but merely because / admit
Of it. Anarchists do not believe in the
murder Of capitalists. What possible good
would it be to me if my employers were
blown to atoms by the explosion of a
bomb. That would not better my situa-
ton one bit, neither would it help the
cause of the anarchists. 1t would do far
more harm than good TO our cause"

ANOTHER SHIP CANAL.
From Gray's TIarbOr TO the Waters
of Puget sound.


A, W. Ballard, well known lawyer OF
Tacoma, in a communication to the Ledger
says; One way cheap, and to my mind en-
tirely feasible, to make safe, speedy and
secure way at all times for the government
vessels, men-of-war and transports to and
from the navy yard already in course of
construction at Port Orchard, is to create
an additional outlet by ship canal from
Gray's Harbor to Olympia along the valley
of the Chehalis river. 1t is known fact
that no difficulty lies in the way of build
ing canal cheaply connecting. the Pacific
ocean at Gray s Harbor and Puget Sound
Then the waters of the Pacific ocean would
be made to feed this canal without lock or
dam. Such canal once completed would
in addition to the advantages / have hinted
at, open up large portion Of the state of
Washington. rich in mineral, coal, agricul-
tural resources and timber TO the COM
merce of the world. More, it
would shorten the route between San Fran
cisco and Portland to the grand
cities Of the Sound, Tacoma and Seattle
tWenty-fOur hours or more, and make
Puget Sound the strongest naval position,
in America, resulting, as ! believe, in the
opening up of our coal and iron interests
and the establishment of the grandest
ship-building interests in America, il not
in the world. For here we have not only
the iron and COAL but the finest timber for
ship-building in the world and TO which
the government works would have easy
and quick access over these great railroad
lines-the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cifc, Chicago Rock Island & Pacific, Chi
cago & Northwestern, the Santa Fe and the
Southern Pacifc-all of which are now
here or reaching out in this direction and
will soon reach the Sound at Tacoma, un-
less this canal Is constructed when some
of them can reach it at other points, and
build up other great interests. With the
aid of Sound cities, the capital city, Aber-
deem, and Ocosta, backed by the Columbia
river interests, this project to succeed and
ought to be pushed to the front at once.

A Tramp with a Powerful Mastery
OF His Case In Court.

A barn had been burned in the suburbs
and a tramp had been arrested for setting
fire to it. After the most of the testimony
was in the prisoner was permitted to make
a statement.
"Your honor" he said, "if anybody set
this barn afre it was the prosecuting at
torney."
The prosecuting attorney was on his
feet in an instant, and the tramp held M
his hands appealingly. "Let me 90 on, "
he said and the court let him 20 on.
Didn't you," he said, addressing the
prosecutor, "throW a man out of your
second-story window yesterday evening ?"
The prosecuting attorney said he had
caught trampin his house about 8 O'Clock
the evening before, and had fired him
through a window.
''Ihanksl" said the prisoner. "That
was me. i went out on to a shed roof that
almost broke my neck, and went on down
where lit on the hired girl, aud scared her
80 that she made break for the back yard
where she started a stray dog 30 that he
made off with a howl for the street, running
between policeman's legs and upsettinP
him. The policeman made q sWipe at him
with his club, and hit horse standing by
the curbstone, and he ran away, and up the
street he scattered a crowd Of women and
then scared horse that was hitched 70 a
milk wagon, and he broke for home and
there scared a COW, and she ran over a
cat in the stable yard watching a rat
hole, and the cat went into the barn where
the lantern was hanging, and the lantern
was turned over onto pile of hay and set
it afre, and the man who ought 10 have
been there was down town trying TO catch
the horse that scared the crowd that scared
his horse that ran away and set the barn
on fire. And that's how it happened, u
concluded the tramp, with a long breath ol
relief
we're you all this time ~ was the next in
quiry.
"MeW ne asked innocently. "Oh ]
was in the gentleman's kitchen eating the
hired girls supper while she was out try
ing to find the policeman the dog upset,
SOS he could come and see what had
dropped on the hired girl"

living on Greenfield avenue, Westwatsr
boarded with the Grants for several years
and was looked upon as one OF tho family

for Miss Grant became too strong to be
hidden from tho parents Of tho girl.
When Mr.. Grant became aware of West-
water's affection for his daughter lie told
him to find another place to board. Vest
whter loft tho houss and found another
boar ding place, but hoped that Mr.. Grant
would see his mistake and allow the young
folks tho same liberties they enjoyed be-
fore. Mr.. Grants mind was Interchangeable,
and he insisted on his daughter obeying his
commsnd that there should be no commu-
nication bstween the two.
The separation was too much for them.
When they met by accident on last Tues.
day it took them but few minutes to de-
oids to take the matter into their own
hands.
The next morning Miss Cant left her
home without arousing any suspicion in
hor mothers mind, but when evening cam
and she had not returned her parents were
alarmed. SuspectinR that Wsstwater was
connected with the disappearance OF the
girl, they tried to find him. He had gone,

On Flimsx Grounds.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 19.-Tuesday next
E1.Gov. Ihayer will move, in the state
supreme court, for the reopening Of tho
case of Thayer vs.. Boyd. This announce
ment causes much surprise. Thayer was
out Of town when the federal supreme court
mandate was served upon the judges Of the
state court last Tuesday. He says he is i'm
PEELED to his action by the earnest solicita-
tion of leading men Of the state. His at
torneys will base their argument on the
theory that the United States supreme
court decision merely ovsrruled tho do
murrer of Gov. Thayer to Gov. Boyd's
answer, therefore it is only necessary for o
reply to be fled to Boyds answer, which
was averred upon information and belief
that Joaeph Boyd, father Of James Il. Boyd.
had com pleted his naturalization in 1854, at
a time when james Il. Boyd was minor,
and alleging further that James E. Boyd
had for many years been citizen Of the
United States within the meaning Of the

wife is a superb woman, she keeps Us
straight and does us ever 80 much good.'
It is the sweetest bit OF comp liment a
