Brooklyn Clergymen Opposed 70 the
Great Contest TnIrins Place at Coney
Island-some Strong Opinions on the
Subject.
NEw YoRK, Sept. 2e.-The clergymsn
and respectable citizens Of Kings
county arc already up in arms against
the Corbott Mitchell prize flght, and
will do everything in their power to
prevent it taking place at ooney Island.
Tho burden OF public sentiment is in
consonance with the opinion given on
Saturday by President Cochrane, OF tile
Polytechnic Institute. 1.-THE whole in
fuence OF these contests has been to
demoralize onr young men" said Presi.
dent Cochrane. "Ihe laws forbid such
exhibitions and they ought TO DO pre-
vented"
The Rev. Father John D. Kiley, rector
OF the Church of the TRANSPORTATION,
Hooper street and Marcy avenue, said:
"These prize fights are most
assuredly exceedingly demoralizing to
the youth Of the city. Such a thing
should be severely discountenanced
Tho good standing and the reputation
OF the city arc at stake. ] certainly
would consider that the public officials,
as good moral citizens, would feel that
it is incumbent upon them, in the in
terests Of morality, not to encourage
this proposed exhibition in the prize
ring at Coney Island"
WHAT DIR. TALMAGE SAYS.
The Rev. DR.. Talmage said in denun-
citation of the proposed prize fight that
the authorities of Brooklyn arc not be-
low other city authorities Of this CONT
nent in the condemnation Of such a
thing. In all parts Of this country
where the authorities could declare
against 1t they have done SO. mo self.
respecting city, such as Brooklyn is,
would tolerate such thing" said DR..
Talmage. Brooklyn ia the most moral
city in the land. There is less Sabbath
breaking, less OF the social evil and less
gambling here than IS to be found in
any city OF the continent. Tho pro.
posed prize fight would surely meet
with tho universal condemnation OF tho
community. I am disposed to believe
from what know OF District Attorney
Ridgway that he would find some way
to stop it from the headquarters OF this
municipality. An edict would be put
in that would be very decided. If the
citizens of Brooklyn don't want tho
fight il won't go on. It is hardly neces-
sary for IN organized movement against
1t, though it would be very easy to or
ganize the citizens againt it No one
can witness anything brutal without
being brutalized to certain degree.
That is if one takes an interest III such
an exhibition"
at is nothing to boast of because one
man can overcome another by physical
force" continued DR.. Talmage. 1.-THE
OK is stronger than a man; yet the lion
can overpower the OK, the deer can out
run him, tho fish can dive deeper and
the bird can soar higher"

town yesterday ana tlrst Assistant Dis
trict Attorney John U. Shorter could
not be found, but / saw Assistant Dis
trict Attorney John F. Clarke and asked
him II Corbett and Mitchell would be
permitted to fight in Kings county.
"Have they signed to fight at Coney Is
laud?" asked Mr.. Clarke. l replied that
they had and Mr.. Clarke said: II had
not heard that and 1 have given the
matter no attention. I do not feel at
liberty to give my opinion. District
Attorney RidCway is at Chicago aud
will be back Wednesday, and us he will
be back so soon would rather wait aud
have him talk on the matter. I'cannot
tell what expect he will say, because
/ did not suppose the fight would be
held at Coney Island until you told me,
and lave not considered the matter at
all, nor do 1 know what the terms Of
agreement between Corbett and Mitchell
are"

Ign, however, the agreement on the
part of Mitchell and Corbett to fight Tor
the championship of the world at
Coney Island for a purse OF $4,000 is
received with decided pleasure. at
will be a great event." said David
Roche, well known sporting man who
keepsa cafe in the vicinity OF the city
hall. F"It means big money for the
Coney Island Athletic Club, of which
Dick Newton is the matchmaker. Ad-
mission rates will be $40 q head and $50
each for the boxes. / understand that
hanging boxes will be arranged from
the ceiling, from which the occupants
may look down upon tho ring. Mitchell
is more popular now than he was when
he was last in America, but at the same
time great majority Of sporting men
want to SEQ Corbett whip the English
man, and l think that he can do it
too"
@What do you think of the posslbili-
~ OF the authorities interfering to stop
the tlght2" / asked.
"0h," said my informant, "there ia
no fear OF that. The fight will bacon.
Quoted in an orderly manner, no doubt,
and the police will n0s interfere"
A prominent Brooklyn politiciansaid
to me last evening:
@The Corbett. Mitchell fight will take
place at Coney Island as sure as John
Y. McKane looked after his Sunday
school pupils yesterday. Ministerslnay
protest against it and good citixens'may
appeal to tho authorities to interfere
and save the county from the stain OF
barbarism but the fight will go on.
Public opinion will be deted and the
law lisregarded. John Y. MclSane, the
car of Coney Island, is as powerful in
his way as the ruler Of Russia. His
word Is law, Hc not only owns Coney
Island aud everybody on it, but he is
the most interested man in the Coney
Island Athletic Club. OF course he
docs not appear in that position public
". It would hurt him II he did SO.
Dick Newton attends tn the czar's work
while tho ruler looks on. MclSaue will
defy public opinion. He cares nothing
for 1t, He said he will pull of that
prize fight and he will do it. He never
breaks his word. Its q sure thing that
the fight will come or as advertised, and

FROM HALIFAX COUNTY

AURELIAN SPRINGS, N. @.
MI. EDIToR:-Wll you give space
for a few notes from old Halifax which
will not be out of place.
DR.. Thompson was with us accord
ing to appointment, and the verdict of
most every n present was, that it
was the best speech they ever heard.
Some Of the darkies said, II tell you,
sir, that man ever more preached
The crowd was estimated at between
six and seven hundred. He spoke
about three hours, aud many said they
could have listened as much longer
without being worried. Dinner was
prepared for the crowd. We know he
did the Alliance cause much good, as
several brethren have told me, whose
lodges have gone down, that they are
going to work and reorganize.
Our county meeting was held, &C
cording to appointment, but cur dis
trict lecturer failed to put in an ap-
pearance. A good many we're disap-
pointed and I for one, but we had a
most harmonious meeting. The dele
cation was not as large as it used to
be, but they were all true men, having
all of the Alliance principles at heart.
Brother w. E. Bowers, our county
lecturer, was with us and, like cold
sauce, always ready though not pre-
pared, gave US a few thoughts to be
remembered. A resolution was passed
endorsing the invitation of Brother
Marion Butler and Hon. Harry Skin
ner to speak in Enfield the first of
November and the secretary instructed
to forward same to you for publica-
ton, but in his notice of our county
meeting I see he failed to do so.
There is a certain element in this
county who pretend to be our friends
that are doing all they can against us,
but we are glad to know they have
lost their power, The people can't be
fooled all the time. Their eyes are be.

Anecdote of the Beloved Georgian Told

Anecdote of the Beloved Georgian Told
by a Friend.
Henry Grady used to dictate much
of his matter to me, as I was a short
hand writer, and at that time he did
not sport a private secretary.
One day he was debating a little stuff
of a we'll known man, and here is the
way it came out:
"Major Blank will re-enter his pro-
fession, in which-God forgive me for
the lie!-he has made such reputation
in the past"
One night Grady and two or three
other fellows were standing on the
street orner waiting for a car. I was
eating dried figs.
whats that you are eating9" he
asked.
Dried fge," I replied.
"Give me some" he said.
handed him the figs and remarked:
You had better get into the light.
They are not the best.
NO." he said, as he put a fig into
his mouth. IF I were to see 'em I
wouldn't eat EN-"
Grady made it a rule of his life never
to miss a circus, and used to carry all
the small boys for whom he could pos
sibly get tickets. One day he tried to
get tickets for nearly every boy in the
Sixth ward, and the Snowman at last.
in desperation, exclaimed:
Tell Mr.. Grady that we have sent
