FLEW TO THE COURT.
That Bugbear of Railroads, the
January Interest
Forces the New York and New
England Road into the Hands
of a Receiver.
BY the Associated Pr ess.

By the Associated Pr sss. -
New YORK, Dec 27.-The appoint
ment of Thos. G. Patt, receiver of the
New York and New En- gland railroad
caused virtually no surprise. 1t was
well known that definite steps looking
to such result had been taken. Last
night it is said conference was held at
the Fifth Avenue hotel and at a late
hour determination was reached to
ask for receiver. The conferees were
Thos. C. Platt and F. H. Prince, direct
ors of the New England COMPANY; A.
B. Boardman and Frank H. Platt, of the
law firm of Tracy, Platt & Boardman,
and some capitalists interested in the
securities of the company. Boardman
left for albany on the midnight train
to make application for the appoint
ment Of receiver.
One capitalist who attended the con-
ference said the conference was really
little meeting of the committee ap-
pointed some time ago to raise money
required to pay interest due January l /;
5000 900 was required for that purpose
and the committee had been unable to
secure it. Responses to applications of
the committee have been very slow and
under the circumstances it has become
necessary that application be made for
a receiver. 1t did not follow, however,
that the application would be inimical
to the interests represented by Presi-
dent Mcleod, although it is not be-
lieved that Mcleod now held any more
stock than was necessary to qualify
him az director and president of the

MITCHELL ON The FIELD.
The EngliShman Arrives al
Jacksonville.
Tho Status of the Big Fight VIII Be
Decided by the Supreme
Court This Week.

By the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Dec. 27.-Charley
Mitchell arrived today at II O'Clock.
A great crowd was at the depot and
hotel to welcome him. Mitchell's weight
on Monday was 1856 pounds and he has
but little flesh to get off as he has been
training pretty hard. In the party
were Mitchell. Jack Fogarty and Harry
Darrin.
Some annoyance is manifested by the
officers of the Duval club at statement
by Brady, Corbett's manager, that he
had received positive assurance that the
fight would not be interfered with.
Such statement is considered very in
judicious because it is calculated to
strengthen the governors determina-
ton to break up the fight.
Manager Bowden of the Duval club
expects decision by the courts this
week that will settle things one way or
another. If the decision is favorable
to the legality of the contest it is not
believed the governor will persist fur
ther in his opposition.
Mitchell gave an exhibition tonight at
the Grand opera house to an immense
audience. At the conclusion of the
Engliahman's bout with Fogerty there
were loud calls for speech and Mitchell
stepped to the footlights and said
Ladies' and Gentlemen-I thank you
for your more than kind reception ex-
tended to me. You all seeI have turned
up in time and nothing preventing ]
shall meet James J. Corbett in the ring
at the appointed date. Although I may
fail to surprise you tonight l hope to do
80 on that occasion"

Wilson's detachment is said to have
been from forty to one hundred and
Barrow's detachment is reported to
have been composed of about the same
mum Der. The news has caused great
excitement throughout the city, and is

Matabeles, they were charged upon re-
peatedly and slaughtered to man,
