MITCHELL is ANXIOUS
Hastens to Coney Island to See
What Can Be Done at Once.
Governor Flower Says the Fight Will
Not Come 0ff-Sullivan Will
Not Referee It-GOssip.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Charles Mitchell.
the English pugilist, arrived in this city
to-day from Pittsburg When a reporter
saw Mitchell he said: 'I have come back
to see what the Coney Island people are
going to do about our contest. I shall visit
the Linden race track tomorrow. where
hope to meet Mr.. Newton and have some
kind of an understanding with him. in
tended starting in training on Tuesday
next, but as the matter stands now /
shall do nothing until see Newton"
Have you been notified by the Coney
Island Club that the contest has been de-
clared off?' was asked.
'No, sir, l have not. All that I know
about the matter is what L have read in
the newspapers"
AS soon as Mitchell heard that the fight
was liable to be stopped at the island he
telegraphed to friend of his in New
Orleans asking him If there was any chance
of it being pulled off in the Crescent City
In a few days a reply came back to tho
effect that there was not any chance Of
the fight being brought off there. The En-
glishman seems to be very down-hearted
over the turn that affairs have taken.
What Governor Flower Says.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-If Governor Flow
er had hand in stopping the Mitchell
Corbett fight at Coney island he will not
say so. He was seen In corridor Of the
Hoffman House to-day and asked whether
it was his intention to prevent the fight.
He replied that such action on his part
was unnecessary, as the requisite action
had already beer taken by the authorities
of Kings county and there was nothing for
him to do. The Governor added that no
complaint had been made to him by any
body concerning the fight, and that no
charges had been made in this connection
against Sheriff Courtney. of Kings county.
John l.. Says Matthews is Bluffing.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Oct. 22.-Ex-cham-
pion John l.. Sullivan, who is playing at
one of the theaters in this city, in an inter-
view this evening. said that he had not been
asked to referee in the coming Corbett-
Mitchell contest, and declared if he were
offered the chance he would not accept Ii.
Being asked for his opinion of the outcome
of the fight, he said he did not care to
make guess-it would take a wise man to
pick the winner. He had met both of
them and knew their worth Though Ii
had been said that Mitchell had grown too
old to fight as he used to- he declared the
Britisher was in excellent shape and would
put up good fight. He reiterated his
statements made few days since that the
fight would probably come off at Roby,
Ind, and declared that Governor Mat
thews was only making bluff.

Where We Are At.

1t is a sad fact that the very men
who have produced the stupendous
wealth, which has been so wildly por
trayed to us through the press and
from the platform for political pur-
poses, are, as class, living from hand
to mouth, as it were, and are obliged
to market their produce as soon as
harvested. Some sell it before it is
harvested regardless of price, in order
to meet the exorbitant and ruinous
rates of interest on their mortgages,
pay their taxes and procure the few
necessities of life to carry them along
until another crop is raised.
With all our boasted prosperity,
should the Almighty withhold one
seasons rain and sunshine, we would
speedily become nation of lords and
serfs instead of independent American
freemen. Upon the husbandry de-
pend all other industries, and when
that fails may we begin to ask our
selves .'where we are at?' The mani
pulatOrs of our national finances have
played their part so well as to fill
their own vaults with standard val
ues." while the real producers of the
country are left to hold the ''empty
paper bags" We have reached such
a pass that some one must disgorge,
either directly or indirectly, and the
ruinous rates of interest now charged
on securities that have proven to be
the very best must come down to a
level with that of other first-class sec
urities if the farmer may hope to live
and prosper. Our financial men, and
we have been dicted to by English and
Wall street gold bugs until our toiling
confding public have almost been
driven onto the rocks.
High rates of interest through Ii
mited currency have almost killed our
commerce, robbed the eastern states
of their once fertile soil. and are fast
bleeding each of our middle and west
ern states at the rate of u TO Is mil
lions of dollars annually.
The wealth of the country comes
from the soil, of which we have a
great abundance. but what country or
people can long withstand this? Pub
lie spirited, unselfish men whose own
personal greed does not blind their
eyes to the public need, must be
brought to the aid of OUR financial
policy five expect any permanent re-
form.-New York Herald.

THE sUsPENDED CAR.

which the cars are to be suspended SO that
they run beneath instead of over the rail.
The cars are to be made of basket work,
covered with light wood, and are not to
weigh over 1900 pounds each. They will
be pointed at both ends, so as to offer the
least possible resistance to atmospheric
pressure. and a speed of from two to three
miles a minute is said to be quite possible
for them.
They will run on single track road
elevated on iron columns. The crossbeams
on top of the posts will be about six feet long,
sufficient to support two single rails, on
which cars will be suspended. The transit
on one of these rails will be in the direction
opposite to that on the other, and the cars
will be firmly held in place and perfectly
secured against tipping or running on the
track by grooved wheel, which IS TO be
the motor.
Above the car there will be two separate
wheels of from 5 to 8 feet in diameter, one
on each end of the car, and beneath on one
side of the car will be four guide wheels,
which will run on continuous side rail
secured to the sides of the posts, thus PIE
venting any swinging motion from rapld1ty
of transit or the wind. These guide rails
answer also for a conductor of the electric
current, the upper rail supplying the re-
turn current, a connection being made
through the motor attached to the car
wheels, thus forming the circuit.
An endless oblong track is to be built Id
the vicinity of Passaic to test the pract1car
bility of the new scheme On it the car
can be run hundreds of miles without stop
ping and be in sight all the time.
