JUSTICE DOWN SOUTH.
Rural Dogberry Whose De-

A Rural Dogberry Whose De-
cisions Were Wise and to the
Courts Advantage.
Chicago Times,
They told me at the last stopping
place to inquire for a family named
Bristol, and at 5o'eIock in the afternoon
reached the hamlet ana soon dis =
covered that Mr.. Bristol was a ''justice
of the peace in and for the said coun-
ty." He was man about fifty years
of age, and, though he could have raked
in many fat fee by encouraging his
neighbors to 90 to law, he did not be-
lieve in what he called "fussing
around" We had an instance of it
while sitting on the porch after supper.
A colored man came up on the run, and
very much excited and said:

In about ten minutes Abraham re-

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
Arguments Concluded and Decis-
ion Expected Tuesday,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Arguments
in the application Of Judge Long. of
Michigan, for a mandamus to compel
the commissioner of pensions to restore
Judge Long to his former pension rat
ing, were concluded in the district SUI
preme court today. The closing argu-
ment was made by Attorney Fred A.
Baker. of Detroit. Mich, in behalf of
Judge Long. The argument was largely
technical. He, however, characterized
the policy of the present administration
OF the pension bureau as scandal
Gus and shameful. The commissioner.
he said. acted not only hastily,
but unlawfully. He referred to Rule
"a of the pension regulations. prohibit
ing suspension without sixty days
notice, which, he argued, had been over
looked by the commissioner. He ex-
planned that mandamus had been asked
on Commissioner Lochren instead of on
the pension agent at Detroit, because
the latter was not in the Jurisdiction of
the supreme court of the District of Co.
lumbia. He commended that there was
no law authorizing a suspension in
cases like that of Judge Long, and that
lHeEe naO Oeen no uue process or law
taken in his clients case. He scored
the commissioner for his statement that
a person in accepting pension accepts
it as charity.
1T is debt" said counsel. land it
is not Intended that one man shall have
the power to cut off a pension. There
is no doubt that the action of the bureau
| IN SuSpendlng pensions shocked the
morals of the country. The act passed
by congress Thursday, prohibiting sus-
pensions without thirty days notice,
was due to the lawless acts of the pres
ent commissioner"
A tilt took place between the counsel
at the conclusion of the argument. AS
sistant Attorney General Whitney
| asserted that Attorney Baker had
garbled the reading of clause quail
flying pension rule. Mr. Baker
retorted quite sharply, and Attorney
| Hopkins rose and SAID that he was sur
| prised and stunned 10 find that the at
tOrneyS for the commissioner had felt so

as we'll as garbling rules. The court
was then adjourned until next Tuesday.

may be, it IS expected that an appeal to
the supreme court or the United States

Buffalo Express.
A tall. thin man. with a faded bro wn
oyercoat, an ornate jag and a tattooed
star on his left hand, got on l O'clock
car on Sunday morning. He wavered
around Ill the aisle until somebody
made room for him and thereafter he
spent most of his time in Stroking his
pointed chin and smiling affably at the
other passengers.
The conductor came along and he'll d
out his hand. The man with the Jag
fumbled around in his vest pocket and
produced dime. The conductor gave
hin Canadian tve-cent silver piece
for change. The man with the Jag held
it between thumb and finger ard eyed
it suspiciously. Here" he said, thick
ly, II don't wan thash.''
Neither do l." said the conductor,
and with this he passed along.
The man with the jag stroked his chin
couple of times and beamed around
the car. "Wait'll he ge's back" he
said. ''I'll fix im.'
The conductor came back. The man
with the jag stopped him and held out
the Objectionable coin. Here" he
said again. II dom wan thash'
WHATS the matter with it?" inquired
the conductor.

man with the jag, doggedly.
The conductor took the coin and
counted out five pennies to the man.
How will that fix you out?" he in
Quired.
The man with a jag strocked his chin
again and continued his smiling. He
fairely beamed OH everybody. Then he

st. Paul Looking Up.

1t is now generally believed that st.
Paul will. after all, be admitted to the
Western Base Ball league, and Mr..
Vanderbeck is expected to be in the
city within week. From what was
learned yesterday there is little or no
interest among the people of Detroit
whether their city is kept in the league
or not. and there is such strong desire
here that st. Paul shall be given a place
and Detroit dropped out, that it is likely
the expected will happen.
DETROIT, Dee. 23.-Today ex-Man-
ager r. II. Leadley received a letter
from R. J. GlenalYin, representative OF
VanIerbeck, giving the lie to the story
that Detroit'S franchise in the Western

Meeting ofPassenger Agents.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23--Today call was
Issued for Joint meeting OF the general
passenger agents of the Trunk Line
and Central Traffic associations, to be
held in New York Jan. 9. The meeting
will be called for the purpose of en-
deavoring to find way out of the pre-
vailing decentralization in passenger
rates. The general managers had IN
tended TO take up the matter at their
meeting during the last week, but found
that freight matters were about all they

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Dec. %. In
spite of Gov. Mitchell's expressed de-
termination to prevent the Corbett-
Mitchell fight. the men who are trying
to bring about the contest are going
ahead with their preparations. Work
on the arena is being pushed. and
everything will soon be in readiness for
the contest. a. w. Cockerill, attorney
for the Duval Athletic club, expressed
the opinion to the Southern Associated
Press correspondent today that there
was no law in the Florida statute books
by which Gov. Mitchell could stop the
contest. What the governor intends 10
do next no one knows. He is at Tampa
now, and will not return to Tallahassee
until after the holidays. The Southern

lions. COrbett'S muscles stood out in
magnificent relief, and his skin glow
cred with the hue of perfect health.
He had just finished wrestling with
McNey, and his knees, elbows and col
lar bone showed the abrasions received
in the struggle. As the alcohol touched
these. the champions face would be
distorted into grimace of pain from
the smarting, but he explained that they
would soon become hardened to the
work. COrbett's first work this morn
ing was with dumb bells, then came
breakfast and four-mile spin up the
beach and back. after rundown he
punched the bag for half an hour, aud
then put on the gloves for a bout with
Donaldson. Then came dinner, and in
the afternoon the champion INDUCED in
pool and han1 ball. Corbett seems to
be getting fit rapidly, and there is no
doubt, if no mischance occurs, that he
will enter the ring fit to light for his
life.
In a talk this morning with Billy
Thompson, it was learned that Mitch
el's manager has finally decided that
his principal will give an exhibition at
the opera house on his arrival here.
Thompson this morning received a let
ter from Mitchell at Boston, saying that
on account of some necessary purchases
to be made IN New York on Monday
morning he will not leave Philadelphia
for Jacksonville until 6:55 on Monday
evening. This will put him in this city
about O'clock Tuesday night. On
Thursday morning he Will probably go
to his training quarters, and remain
there until the contest. Both Mitchell
and Thompson are confident of the
formers ability to best the American,
and Thompson says that if the contest
ends before the tenth round the verdict
will be given to Mitchell, but if it lasts
longer there is no telling when it will
end,

WILDER WON.
Very Rocky Game, Bunker Los
ing.

Very Rocky Game, Bunker Los
ing.
Surely the games in the Foley billiard
tournament are full of startling sur
prises. Wilder played against Bunker
last night, and, as one spectator said,
the least said about the game in detail,
the better. 1t is not unjust to either
player to say that both played poor bill
lizards. Both admit that this is so. The
game lasted an hour and half, and it is
not worth while to speak of high runs.
The game dragged. and run up to
eighty-four innings. The score showed
800 to 295 in favor of Wilder, and, as the
score card reads, was close game.
Bunker started out at a magnificent
gait, and in his twelfth inning
was an even thirty ahead of
Wilder. Then he calmly succumbed.
