Corbett and Jackson.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The next
deposit for the fight between Peter
Jackson and Champion Corbett is
due today. "Parson" Davis says
Jackson's part will be posted, and
if Corbett fails he will claim all
the money up. "Brady told me-"
said Davies, that he had to do all
the work in the Mitchell-Corbett
fight, and he did not propose to do
so now. Brady's actions cannot
benefit Corbett. If the latter is
as anxious to fight Jackson
as he would have it appear,
why does his manager refuse
to assist me in trying to get
purse? Jackson is thoroughly
sincere. Half of the $4,000 stakes
will be his own money. Surely that
is sufficient guarantee of good
faith. He may be beaten, but he is
willing to take the chances. He is
willing to fight for the largest
purse offered. If he cant get S45,-
600 he will be satisfied with $780,
600, and will not refuse $4,000"
Davies does not think the fight
will come off in this country, but
he is sure that there are other
countries where it can be held.

Barnum & Bailey on Deck.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Barnum
& Bailey begin their season at the
Madison Square Garden with their
"Greatest Show on Earth" today.
The season at the Garden will be
four weeks; then follows a week in
Brooklyn, after which the big show
starts out on it's annual tour of the
United States. Mr.. Bailey says
that never in the history Of the
show has there been such a varied
collection of interesting features
as will be given to the public
this season. For months past
nearly every steamer from
abroad has carried a collection of
animals or strange people for the
show. Among the interesting
features is the chronological con-
gress, containing living examples
Of strange races Of people, and is
without doubt the most ambitious
project ever undertaken in the an
nails of amusements. Chiko and
Johanna, the famous gorillas, are
on exhibition, while the circus it's
self is made up of new acts, with
new people and new accessories.
Altogether the show this year is a
little Worlds fair in itself.

HOMER, Ga, March 26.-The fif-
teen-year-old girl, Lillian Wills,
has been acquitted here the
the murder Of her father last
week, a true bill having been
found against the girl and her
mother. The eleven-year-old son
told dramatic story OF the
killing. His father came home in
his cups with a bottle of whiskey
and ordered supper. He soon got
into a row with his wife. While
the father was seated in a chair
before the fire, still quarreling,
Lillian picked up an axe and struck
her parent in the head, intlicting a
bad wound. Then the mother pick
ed up the axe and cut her husbands
throat with it. Lillian confessed
to the crime and said she first cut
her fathers throat with a razor
and then attacked him with a
Ratchet in order to prevent him
from numbering her mother, whom
he was choking. The trial was a
sensational one. Both mother and
girl were acquitted amid applause
Of the spectators. Willis was a
prominent planter.

Attacked by an Elephant.

NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-An
elephant belonging to the Empire
show, got loose last night as her
keeper was passing through lot
in which she was confined. The
keeper slipped in the mud, and, as
quick as flash, the elephant was on
him, planting both her knees
on his chest with great force.
Three times the elephant backed
from the keeper and repeated the
assault. Finally the circus HANDS
succeeded in driving off the vi
cious brute. The keeper, who was
an Italian, was sent to tho hospi-
tai where it was found that he
had been seriously, but not fatal
ly hurt. The elephant weighs 5000
pounds, and was trick animal in
the show. 1t is 1876 years old.

The San Francisco Track.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, March 26.
The site selected for the new
race track for San Francisco is not
desirable for the purpose and the
syndicate of local and eastern capt.
tialists interested, have purchased
another track in the vicinity Of the
first one and will commence grad
ing and building in June and July.
The estimated cost of the new
track, including theimprovements,
will be close to half million dol
lars. The California hackers Of the
enterprise are NJ. A. Zunst, Dan
Burns, Tom Williams, James
Flood and Adolph Spreckles. The
eastern men are Ed. Corrigan,
George Walbaum, and Alex and
Joe Ullman.

Chance For Enlisted Men.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Under
the provisions Of the law Of July
80. 1892, which permits enlisted
men to compete for secoI lieuten-
ants vacancies, detail OF officers
has been made to meet on Cover
nor's Island today to examine cam
didates who filed their applica-
lions prior to February. A good
numbtr of enlisted men are or
dered before the board, and they
include sergeants, corporals and
privates from the eight distinct
departments. The applicants
number a great many in excess Of
those who will be permitted to
compete, and in order that there
may be no unnecessary eX-
pense, examinations of the appri-
cants have been or will be held at
the several posts to determine who
are eligible for the competitions.
commanding officers must also
furnish data as to whether the
candidate is married or single, the
date, length and character Of his
service in the army; whether he
had borne a good character both
before and after enlistment !;
whether he is a native-born or a
naturaliZed citizen, etc. Thus it
will be seen that men enlisting in
the army have chance to work
for the shoulder straps.

Judge Bradly's Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-There
was a great interest today to learn
the decision of Judge Brady upon
the advisability of the dispositions
impeaching the character of NADIA
line Vivian Pollard, which the
Breckenridge forces had offered
and to which the plaintiff opposed
Numerous objections. Regarding
the sweeping denial of the right to
take any dispositions, DeBene Esse
under act of Congress, creating the
court, the Judge said the judiciary
act OF 1879, conferred the right in
broad terms upon any party to any
civil act in any court of the U. S.
There were other grounds upon
which he sustained the regularity
of the dispositions as a whole. The
dispositions of Brand and Kauff-
man were also admitted, but the
judge spoke very sharply of these
last two, saying they were utterly
unfit to be read before the court.
He said he would gladly exclude
them If he could, and expressed a
hope that the counsel would see fit
to omit the disgracefully obscene
matter in them. He sustained the
objections made to the dispositions
Of John O'Toole, DR.. Green and DIR.
Lewis, that they were based on
hearsay. DR.. Lewis is the physician
who testified that Col. Swope, late
Republican candidate for Congress
in the Lexington district, had
him to perform the criminal
operation upon Miss Pollard for
dispositions of Mrs. Miller and of
Roselle, who had been engaged to
Miss Pollard while at the Wesleyan
institute, were admitted on the
ground that they bore on the plain
tiff's claim. She was a mere girl
when she first met Breckenridge
and each side filed objections to
the rulings against it. Then Judge
Brady made a few remarks in
the interest Of the public moral
ity, as he said the "court has
been deluged with anonymous
letters in this case" "Some Of
these letters seem to come
from females, and to be dictated
by good motives" Many of them
referred to in the publication of the
details of the trial, and which the
court could exercise no censorship
over the press, he suggested that
the papers should omit the i'm
proper details, as he thought
some Of these details, if published,
would subject the papers to ex-
clusion from mails as obscure
matter. More over it was almost
a calamity to the city Of Washing
ton and country at large that
such matter should be carried
broad cast into its houses.

Age of Novel Heroines.

New York Sun.
1t is interesting to see how the
age of the heroine Of the modern
novel differs from that Of older
writer's. Out of thirty of Scott's
heroinPs, sixteen are described as
under 20, three are over 20, and on
ly one, Amy Robinson, is hero
inc "Of uncertain age" since she is
historically a middle aged matrOn
and fictitiously a youthful bride.
But the conspicuous character OF
the modern novel is a woman, not
a girl, who has lived and eXptr-
fenced much, and not infrequently
is married, before the story intro
duces her as its central figure.

HOLES INSTEAD OF HANDS.
Novel Scheme for Making Tower
Clocks Valuable at Night.

III. HI. Fisher, mechanic, is eX-
perimenting upon new device for
illuminated clocks. The object is
to make clearer in the dark the
time of night. This evening he
will test his apparatus on the
court house clock.
Mr.. Fishers idea is to have the
numerals and the hands show at
night. Both the numerals and the
hands are merely slots cut in gal
vaniZed iron disks, through which
the light from behind the clock
face shines. To make the numerals
in this way is easy enough, since
they are stationary, but in the case
of the hands the thing is more diff
cult of accomplishment. Still the
device hit upon is very simple.
A small galvanized iron disk is
placed in the center of clock face.
A slot is cut in it to represent the
smaller hand Of the clock, and as
the disk revolves this hand
indicates the hours. Between
this disk and the circles
of numerals there is galvanized
iron ring in which a slot is cut to
represent the longer hand of the
clock. This ring revolves indie
pendently of the disk, making one
revolution every hour. The slot
in it indicates the minutes. OF
course, this minute-hand cannot
extend to the center of the clock
face, because of the hour-hand
disk, but it is said that one will
soon get used to the unusual APP
pearance of the minute-hand.-

ALI FOR THt INDIAN
ENGLAND'S DIFFERENCE WITH
NICARAGUA EXPLAINED.
No Trouble with the United States
Looked for-Treaty Provisions the
Difficulty

London, Dec. 3.-The following,
Semi-Otficial statement has been issued
concerning the differences between
Great Britain and Nicaragua: "Reu-
ter's agency learns that no difference
of opinion exists between the govern
ments of Great Britain and the Unit
ed States with reference to the Mos
quito territory. Owing to the influx
of certain traders and others in these
regions, it has became necessary re-
Gently for Great Britain to draw the
attention of the Nicaraguan govern
ment to the provisions of the treaty
between Great Britain and Nicaragua
which are contrary to certain DEGREES
recently issued by the commissioner at
Blewfields. It is understood that the
matter has formed the subject of in
quiry upon the part of the United
States and a satisfactory explanation
of the matter was given by the Brit
ish government that the questions did
not effect relations between Great
Britain and Nicaragua but merely the
rights and customs Of the Mosquito
Indians, reserved in the treaty in ques-
ton. There is no question Of the
United States dispatching war vessels
to the spot in this connection"
