Tacoma Fight Gossip.

New York. Feb. 2a-Judging from the
latest developments the Mitchell-Corbett
fight will take place. William A. Brady.
Corbett's manager, and Mitchell. accom-
panied by Squire Abingdon. met at the
Gedney house tonight and had q confer
ence. The result was that both men
agreed to fight and do away with
further chickering's. Mitchell already de-
posted a certified check for SO. 900 with
we'll known sporting man whose name
both parties refuse to make public lest he
should be arrested. The stakeholder is
satisfactory to both Brady and Mitchell.
Articles of agreement will most likely be
signed i'll private and not at New
Orleans nor in Canada. Mitchell has
not gone 10 Canada as had been given
out this evening: He will not leave the
city for a couple Of days at least. Brady
left on the II o'clock train for Boston.
Before going he said he thought Mitchell
was now sincere in his desire to arrange
the match. The match may be made to-
morrow or Saturday.
Mitchell said tonight the smaller the
ring in which he meets Corbett the better
it will suit him. He said he would give
Corbett $1,000 for every foot he would
allow the ring to be made small
Ter than the regulation size. He
says he is going to New Orleans to wit
ness the Hall-Fitzsimmons fight. and not
to make the match. The opinion prevails
here among sporting men that Mitchell
does not want to fight in the North. but
prefers to go South. Mitchell denies this,
and said he would as soon fight here as in
New Orleans.

4 story that She Lies Buried in Pot

The name of Margaret Fuller-O ssoli is
still a name to conjure with among
literary people of the older generation
in New York. She is supposed to have
found her tomb in the ocean, but there
is some reason to suspect that her dis
honored remains rest in the old potter's
field of New York. Thereby hangs a
curious tale. | met Il Weather-bcaten

who captainsa fishing craft with consum-
mate skill. and there is a sharp Jingle OF

SCIENCES. Among other things he told
me he was on the beach thatJune night
in 1850 when a disastrous storm wrecked
the bark Elizabeth, which was bringing
home from Italy Margaret Fuller, be-
loved and admired on two continents,
her husband and child. The ship
foundered off Fire Island beach in plain
sight of land, and only q few of the crew
succeeded in passing the breakers:
Some bodies, not many, were washed
ashore a few days atterward.
Among these was woman's corpse,
hideorsly distigured, wave-beaten, fish
~eaten, a grisv horror to the eye. But
stopped with gold in peculiar fashion,
which were known to have character

she had been the only woman on the
bark. When her friends came down to
look, as soon as the report of bodies
washed ashore reached New York, and
they saw the awful thing von,ited up
from the laws of the ocean, they ne

to admit that it could be Margaret

Graded somewhere in the cool, green
sea depths, and they could only think

OF her bones are coral made,
Those are pearls that were her eyes
Nothing of her but doth SGtfer sea change
Into something rich and strange.
