ROBERT FITZSIMMONS Now Heralds ss Champion Heavy Weigh oosf the World.
 JS JAMES J. 2 RBETT NOTIFIED Of the Action of the Olympic Club in an Official
 Letter.
 

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3.--The following telegram was sent today by the Olympic club:
 To James J. Corbett, Boston, Mass;
 At regular meeting of the board of directors of the Olympic club held Tues- day, October 2, 1894, a resolution was passed unanimously declaring Robert Fitzsimmons the champion heavy weight of the world and he will be compelled to defend the title against the best man that can be found in the world. The board of directors were compelled to take this action on account your of persistent refusal to meet Robert Filzsimmons, who had compiled with every requirement., and the subterfuge you resorted to in causing O'DonnelI to challenge Ftzsimmons is not worthy of consideration. It was in the Olympic club that the heavy weight championship of the world was lost by John L. Sullivan and won by you, and it is now within the province and the duty of the Olympic club to declare Robert Fitzsimmons the cham. pion heavy weight of the world.
 w. A. SCHoLL,
 President Olympic Club. A similar message was sent 10 Fitz5im- mons al Newark, N. J., notifying him of the clubs action and that he will defend the championship heavy weight title in the month of February, 1895, against the best man that can be found in the world.

 MONTGOMERY, Oct. 3.-[Special. l-An energetic Birmingham boy, James R. Smith, slipped down here yesterday and stole away one of the prettiest 16- year old girls in Montgomery, Miss Essie P. Fur ner.
 Smith had been attentive to Miss Turner for some lime, but had not seen her for q month or two. When be left here last things were working to suit him. Re- gently, however, another sult)r appeared on the scene in the person ot Mir. ". H. Grady of this city. Grady, in smiths ab- sence, was making good heiaway. In fact he had gotten things in such good shape that, with the young lady's per- mission, he took out marriage license last Saturday with h's and Miss Turner's s names written on it.
 The papers next morning printed q notice Of it along with the other marriage licenses issued, and young Smith got hold of paper. He did not allow any grass to grow under his ieet, but a few hours alter ward was headed up Lawrence street to- ward the home of his sweetheart. He got down to business without delay, readily awakened the old fl ,me again, made peace with the prospective mother-in-law and in an incredibly short time had license and a preacher on hand. The marriage cere- mony was pronounced without any trim- mings, and Grady was not in it. His li- cense IS for sale at reasonable discount.
 Mir. and Mrs. Smith will leave for there homo, Birmingham, tomorrow probably.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The Evening Tele- gram this evening prints the following: James J. Corbett has changed his mind about fighting Bob Fltzsimmons for the championship of the world. He has over- come his objection to meeting middle weight, and has announced his intention of covering Fitzsimmons' money, now held by the sporting editor of the Herald, and he will be in the city to make the match one week from tomorrow.
 Corbett communicated this information ,o prominent sporting man this alter .noon, who said:
 ''Corbett will go into this match against my judgment, l furnished part or tire stake money for his fight with Sullivan, but I deplore his action in meeting mid de weight. It will add nothing 10 his prestige if he beats Fitzsimmons, and it is a big chance. However, he knows best what he wishes to do in this matter.
 Corbelt's action Is receding from the po- sition he assumed Monday is great sur- prise to his friends and enemies alike.

DOES GREAT DAMAGE AT KEY WEST AND
 DRY ToRrUGas.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Reports were re- ceived at the marine hospital bureau today from the officers in charge of the Key West and Dry Tortugas quarantine stations giv- ing an account of the late storm and the damage it did the stations.
 Surgeon Young, in his report regarding the Key West station, says that the storm lasted from the 23d to the 18th of Septem- Der. The winds at times reached veloc- ity of 104 miles an hour and averaged eighiy-iOur miles.
 During the 24sh, the roof of the hospital building began to leak. On the morning of the 2bth the sea swept over the sea wall and the waves rolled against the building, and all hands were called to save the prop. erty. h the afternoon a section of the boat railway from Fort Tyler lodged against the head of the pier aud seriously endan- gered iJ. Medical supplies recently re- ceved were soaked and the rooms were flooded, compelling the abandonment of the quarters. The Dry Tortugas station, Surgeon Carter reports, was considerably damaged. Chimneys were blown down, holes knocked in the roof and windows blown out.
 The recent heavy storm on the Atlantic coast demonstrated the gratifying fact that a staple bottom has been found of Dia- mond shoals, Cape Hatteras, N. O. Some time ago, on bearings made by the light house board of the treasury, temporary billings were driven down at this point. The recent storm did not pudge them, and if such temporary work can withstand such furious storm the belief is enter tained that permanent piles will remain se- cure, by means of which solid foundation can be made upon which to erect light house, which is so badly needed on this dangerous coast.

GUARDIANS MARKET REPORT.

MANCHEsTNR, Oct. 3.-The Guardian in it's commercial article says:
 The fair inquiry, but inadequate bids of the past week suggest the idea that buyers are merely sounding the market. The un- certainty of the future has had it's influence upon buyers, and sellers have curtaiIed their dealings. Buyers closely watch the dropping condition of the cotton mar ket. Prices have reached point at which sell CTS are unwilling to accept offers which would require them to anticipate another decline, though 1t is impossible to say that there will not be further reduction.
 A large business has been done in Ameri- can spot at large prices, but other growths have been dull and irregular. There has been little doing for the eastern and In- dian markets.
 Yarns have been quiet, with prices in fa- vor of buyers.
