New York, Aug. Alt now seems that
bob" Fitzsimmons will have a chance
of meeting Jim" Corbett by putting up
a reasonable forfeit and issuing chal-
lepge to the world. This announcement
is made on the authority of Champion
Corbett. In other words, Corbett SAYS he
has never seen the color of Fitzsim-
mons money, and that ifhe wants to fight
let him put up his money like man.
Police Captain Giori of Newark, who

The news that Fitzsimmons had &C
cepted che offer TO fight at New Orleans
was telegraphed to Corbett this after
noon, and the following answer came
back:
I have never seen the color of Fitzsimmous'
money Why does he not come out like a

STAMPEDE OF STRIKERS.
Over 1000 of the Old Employees at
Work Again for Pullman.


Chicago, Aug, 1.-THE stampede Of
Pullman strikers continued to-day, and
fully 1900 have applied for their former
positions in the works. About 1900 men
were on duty, and the company's officials
say force of 5000 is easily obtainable.
AL day long the strikers stood in
line before the managers Office await
ling an opportunity to enter their
applications. The men freely admitted
that the strike is broken, and their only
anxiety was to secure positions before the
company's force is complete. For weeks
the strikers have been on the verge of
starvation, and with the announce menu
that the company would begin eviction
for nonpayment,of rent, they weakened.
the strike leaders have lost control of
the rank and file, and the men have an
nounced their willingness to work at any
wages.
The Pullman officials have intimated
that the strikers who return will not be
pushed for overdue rent, and this fact
was largely instrumental in causing to-
days wild stampede for positions.
, This afternoon Assistant General Man
ager Parent gave the number at work as
over 2,060 The foundry started up to-
day for the first time. One hundred men,
all ex-strikers. were put to work and 200
more foundrymen were refused employ
ment. The foundry has capacity of 600
men, but the demands do not warrant the
employment of the full quota.

CROP PROSPECTS.
The Outlook In Georgia Stated as Most
Flattering.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1.-THE crop report
issued by Observer C. S Gorgus to-day
says that the prospects in Georgia con-
tinue isttering. The condition of cotton
and corn has improved considerably. "A
brief review of the general crop condi-
lions show that there has been no marked
deterioration in any of the different crops
OF Georgia during the past week. Cotton
continues TO improve slowly but surely, al
though rust is complained of in some
localities and the leaves are shedding
from the stalk in almost every part of
the state. In the most southerly coun-
ties, the staple is rapidly advancing to-
ward maturity. Corn still continues TO
be the prize crop of the state, but is need
ing rain In the northern district, where
the rainfall during the past seven days
has been very deficient The weather
has been in all sections quite hot, in fact
the temperature has been considerable
above the normal for this season of the
year.
Everything looks brighter in the south
east section since the rains have ceased
being so frequent and heavy The past
week has been favorable for saving
fodder and little remains vet to be
pulled. The amount of fodder saved
this year is some larger than
last year. The corn crop in many locali-
tlesis the largest seen for years. Cotton
looks fine, particularly the short staple
variety, though shedding its fruit a little.
The bolls are just beginning to open, and
picking will soon begin in earnest.
The prospects for a splendid rice
crop are good, Sugar cane and
sweet potatoes are generally excellent.
Watermelons and peas are getting to be
things of the past in this section, about
all shipped. The present weather is fine
for all growing crops, and a feeling of
gratefulness and conteutment is felt by
all tllers of the soil "

PLuNeER PARpR1peE.
Said to Have One of the Worst Gases
of Alcoholism on Record.

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. Ed Partridge,
the board of trade plunger who was
forcibly elected from the floor of the ex-
change yesterday for raising a disturb
ance, was confined to-day in the Wash
ington Home-an institution for the
reformation of inebriates. He was violent
when locked in a room with barred win
dows, it requiring four men to get him
inside. He managed to free his hands
from the leathern handouts put
on them, and made a great cutlery, de-
claring that an enort was being
made to kill him. When the
guards went to his room he came
near killing one of them with chair.
He was taken to the institution by his
son and several friends. He threw a
note out of the window of his place of
confinement today, addressed to his
lawyer, asking the lawyer to sue out
writ of habeas corpus He did so and
the writ was made returnable to-mor-
row. Later in the day Partridge was
released to the custody of his friends.
The home physicians and attendants say
Partridge has one of the worst cases Of
alcoholism they ever saw.

They Must Leave the District of Co.
lumbia or Go TO Jail


Washington, Aug. 1.-THE next forty
eight hours viii mark either the depar-
ture from Washington of all of the ITO or
.f75 cemmonwealers remaining here or the
Imprisonment in the District Jail of any
of them who won't accept transportation.
This was decided on at a conference
held between the district commissioner.
Nal Moore. the superintendent of notice
and Frank Hume, who has aided largely
in obtaining railroad transportation for
the commOnwealers
Immediately after the conference Mai.
Moore went to the camp of the 'wealers
and held short interview with the lead
ers. They were given verbal notice to
leave the district at once. and told that.
unless they had left by tonight or to-
morrow, or Immediately after railroad
coaches for their transportation are
placed in readiness, the penalty of a Jail
sentence would be enforced
= Arrangements have been completed,
but it is the intention of the authorities
. to provide transportation to some con
venient point in the west Until these
plans are completed no steps will be taken
BY the police.
The so-called industrials from the east,
of course, will be required to go, as well
the western contingent, but it is not GER
tain that they will be given rail
road passage. 1t is the firm
determination of the authori-
ties of the district to strictly
enforce the proclamation issued yester-
day, warning all incoming bodies of the
eoxeyite type that they will be arrested
as common Migrants when shown to be a
tcharge on the district. Jacob S Coxey,
the organizer of the broken movement,
has reached Washington, and asserts that
habeas corpus proceedings will be in
stituted to release the commonwealers
who were recently arrested by the Mary
land authorities.

A NEW ELDoRADo.
Rich Gold Deposits Found in Western

London cable in New York Sun.

London cable in New York Sun.
The stories of wonderful gold discover
les in Western Australia were confirmed
by an official dispatch yesterday. The
details of the principal find near Cool
gardie had already reached London. A
party of six were returning from an I'M
successful prospecting tour on May g.
When in camp one night they separated
to test and examine the neigh borhood A
man named Mills came to one of the many
large blows" which are characteristic
of the country. He was astonished, on
rubbing his hand across protruding
piece of stone, to see gold standing out
prominently. He knocked a large piece
off a boulder, and at his feet
lay magnificent specimen liter
ally studded with coarse gold,
while before him, dazzling his eyes,
was magnificent reef of almost pure
gold, fortune in itself. Mills, taking
several pieces from the reef, placed them
in his bosom, and, carefully covering the
reef with earth, found his mates On
the next morning twenty-five acres were
pegged off, and the adjoining blocks at
each end were also taken up. One man
went to town and bought dolly, the
largest he could procure. In one day
they dollied 900 ounces, and IN a short
LlIu6 ndu nearly SlOUCOU worth OF ore.
On June % they packed it in a cart, and
landed the treasure at the Union Bank
The manager weighed the gold and it
turned the scales at 4, $50 ounces.
A few days after the discovery became
public. One lump has been taken from
the reef containing more gold than ore
1t weighed 240 pounds and is worth
$4,000. OF course, there is immense ex-
element in the region, and many other
discoveries are reported, but there is I'M
likely to be anything left for late corners.

SNAKES INHALED ON Trees.
The Strange Story Attributed to a
Michigan Minister.

From the Vassar Mich Pioneer.
Last Saturday the Rev. j. r. Robinson,
United Brethren pastor in this place, and
his wife spent the day with Nathan Sher-
man, farmer of FairGrove Township
During the day Mr.. Sherman invited the
reverend gentleman 10 so with him TO the
orchard, where very remarkable spec
tacle was presented 70 his view From
the limbs of a number of the apple
trees were suspended large number
of small snakes from five to eight
inches in length. The snakes were
dead. and each had a small perfor-
alton, identically alike lust below
the reck by which they were hung to the
tiny stubs of sprouts projecting from the
limbs. They were hanging from all parts
of the trees, from the very tips Of the
topmost branches to the lowest and fur
thest reaching. Done on the trees alone,
Mr., Robinson said, he counted thirty
snakes thus suspended, while it was
claimed the farmers children had
knocked off nearly as many more. which
was evidenced by the fact that a large
number of the SNAKES were living on the
ground under the tree. The snakes
were all of the common garter variety,
and with the exception of one which was
about two feet In length, were small
1t was very remarkable sight, and
MIR. Robinson says he is inclined to leave
the strange phenomenon for nauuralists
to speculate on, In answer to the ques-
ton if it were possible for some opersou To
have placed the reptiles there he said he
was thoroughly convinced no human
hands could have done it. In the first
place, where. could they have got the
snakes, and second, how could they have
suspended them from tiny branches at
the highest points, hardly strong enough
to bear their weight MIR Robinson also
said that MIR. Sherman was at first quite
superstitious in regard to the matter, and
seemed impressed with the feeling that it
might porteud some immediate calamity
The pioneer does not pretend to be up"
on snakeology, but we shall venture an
explanation that if the matter is ever
solved 1t will be found to have been the
work of some bird, possibly of the wood
pecker species. II is said to be fact in
natural history that in tropical regions a
certain bird, wherever it finds q small
snake, will perforate it with its bill and
kill it, after which it will impale the body
on the thorn of a thorn-apple tree. 4.

TIE COAL RATE.
The Ohio Operators Meet and Propose
an Important Organization.

an Important Organization.
Cleveland, O., Aug 1.-THE Massillon
coal mine operators took an important
step at a meeting held here today look
ing 10 the resumption of work in their
mines. There are twenty-five mines in
the Massillon district, and they employ,
when working full. about 1000 men. IL
was decided to-day TO form a corporation
with a capital of 81 ,OO0,0 600, to which ali
these mines will be transferred and by
which they will be operated.
The object of the forming of this cor
poration is to reduce the operating ex-
penses and to enable the operators to
make terms with their men who have
been on a strike since February, for a
ditereptial rate of Is cents ton more
than IS paid in the other districts of the
state.
The operators to-day adopted a new
schedule of wages based on the 60-cent
rate adopted by the Columbus convention.
II is proposed. to cheaper the cost of
miners suppl es so that they will save :
cents a ton, also give them their house
coal at a lower price. This, with
the go cents a ton rate, is allthe operators
will pay. If the schedule is not accepted
by Saturday. Aug. 25, the operators agree
to clear the mines of all tools and declare
the places of the miners vacant and open
to other workmen. This action is likely
TO precipitate crisis in the Massillon
districts
