Gone to the Reward of Good and
Faithful Servant"

Mrs. Ann Herman. for many years
a resident of this vicinity, died at
Providence hospital, Washington, d.
c., Tuesday, Sept. II, 1894, at an ad-
vanced age. Deceased was the house,
keeper for the late A. C. Greene, the
venerated pioneer agent of the Borden
mining company, and ~ years of her
faithful life were spent in the family
of that gentleman. Further concern
ing her Il Washington correspondent
writes under date of Sept. 10:
She was buried this morning in Mt. Olivet
cemetery with the solemn rites of her church.
Solemn Requiem Mass was offered up for
her by Rev. V. +. Schmitt in the presence of
Rev. Fathers ID. c. DeWulf and J. J. Dillon
and other friends that had come to pay the
last tribute of respect to her memory. Among
those present were Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A.
Greene, who had done so much to render the
last days of the old and faithful housekeeper
happy and contented When she found the
end of her days approaching she sought refuge
among those whom she so much loved and
revered. Quite unexpectedly she came to see
her old friend, Father V. F, 5chmitt, her
former pastor, saying:
Put me to rest and pray for me.
When Mr.. Charles A. Greene and his gentle
wife were informed of her illness they at
once came on from New York to see that she
had all the comforts to make her last days
happy and peaceful. Not once. but repeated
ly they came to see her. Many who noticed
this said:
Mrs. Herman certainly must have been a
good and faithful servant. All honor to Mr..
and Mrs. Greene.
Mrs. Herman died at Providence hospital,
attended by the gentle Sisters of Charity.
She could not have had better attention than
she had at Providence hospital the best in
the city of Washington.
May the good people of Frostburg who
knew her so long and so well remember her
and offer upa silent prayer for her eternal
repose. Reqmiescat in pace'

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 25.-With the
Corbett- Mitchell fight scheduled at o'clock
it was q dismal surprise for those who
reached the ringside at IL to find the fight.

ton. When it was finished it was seen to
be substantial and well-arranged affair
It was raised four feet from the floor and
vas 34x32 feet, 24-foot fighting square
surrounded on all sides by FOUR foot path
way. Eight padded posts supported the
;hree ropes which defined the fighting space,
ind barbed wire fence protected the path
xay from outside interference.
Surrounding the platform were two rows
Of reporters seats and benches. for which
the reporters paid the club S2250. The
platform in the centre of the structure was
like hay barn, open at both the end and
the side. The amphitheatre seats started
to rise from the line of posts which sup
ported the ends and caves of the building,
and rose to level with the roof. aiding 10
the shutting out of light, which was very
dim today. Between the reporters benches
md the raised seats were rows Of level
yeats, which sold at S35, on which the spec
tators had to stand to see the top of the
platform.
The crowd that reached the arena at
noon were some of Corbett's party. They
came out to have look at the stage and
Corbetts dressing room. The latter was a
little cotton-lined shanty, 10 feet from the
arena. In it were two cots, stove for
beating water and the utensils that Corbett
was to use, in the corner. The party COM
pleted the arrangements for their principal

He ate hearty breakfast at the training
quarters at and at noon took some beef
tea and bread. At 1916 the entire police
force of the city, about so men, filed into
the arena under the command of Chief
Keefe. They were reinforced by 100 spec
iL officers, sworn in this morning for the
purpose, apparently, Of giving that many
citizens dead head admission. The crowd
vas good natured. The surprising thing
was that there had not yet been q single bet
offered.
The men who bet big were here by the
hundreds, but for come reason the gam
bling spirit was quiet. There had been
some quiet offers % place money on Cor
bett . two to one, but it failed. At least
five men we're here who had $4,000 cash
which they wanted to place at that odds.
As to the popular betting very little was
done or attempted.
Referee Kelly came into the arena about
1880, and a. he passed the reporters he
smilingly informed them that at last he had
the real stuff 10 crisp bills in his inside
pocket. The next commotion was caused
by the discovery of . woman occupying .
good seat near one corner of the stage. She
was stylishly dressed IN mems clothes and
her hair was coiled up under soft white
yachting cap. Her eacort was . big man
who seemed able and willing to take care Of

RICHMOND.
Police Officer Rowe Has Tough Fish. With
an Ugly Gang.

RICHMOND, Jan. 25.-(Special AT
about 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon Officer
J. E. Rowe, upon returning from his rounds
of looking after the street lamps, wandered
iuto the lookup and upon opening the door
of the place, was met by half dozen big
burly fellows who demanded to know who
he was and and what he wanted, and with
out waiting for the officer to reply to their
inquiries, one of the gang jumped upon
him, knocking him completely off his feet.
Rowe drew his billy, but not being able to
cope single-handed with bis assailant, called
for help. There was no one present to in
terfere and for the time being the fellows
had thing their own way. A lady living
near the lookup, seeing the fight from her
window, ran down stairs and notified
George Mitchell, who hurried to the Off
GERS assistance. At the time of Mitchell's
arrival upon the scene Rowe was down ano

upon his throat. At the sight of Mitchell

street. Rowe and Mitchell, accompanied
by Silas Haynes and Capt. Oliver, started
in pursuit of the party, Overtaklng them
near the depot, where another scnffie took
place. Two Of the offenders were FINALLY
,ubdued and taken to the lookup on horse
sled, while the rest of the gang ran dow
the railroad. The names of the parties
cannot be learned. One of the captureo
mes was clubbed about the head and was
bleeding badly when placed in his cell. Al
IF them were drunk and had been abou
town all day. They have recently beer
employed at Iceb0ro. Rowe has three OF
the gang in the lookup tonight and will ar
raign them before Justice Hagar Frida,
morning. As nearly as can be learned, tn
parties belong in Massachusetts.

At l o'clock instead Of the fighters, more
workmen entered the ring and hoisted alof
with ropes the gasoline lighting apparatus
Over two sides of the stage galleries wert
suspended from rafters by iron rods. II
one gallery a single telegraph instrument
WAS located for use only in sending oul
Western Union bulletins. In the othel
gallery sat men with long whiskers who the
crowd decided must belthe aldermen, those
officials having free admission and they re.
ceived great deal of jollying. Another
object of goOd-natured comment was a
group of militiamen in full uniform.
At 1.30 the first bet was offered. A man
stood up.and yelled, "Sl0O to $500 that
Mitchell wins" No takers. Another man
rose and yelled, "Ziba King wants to BET
100 head of cattle to $4,000 that
Corbett wins. This was rect ived
in silence. Next the spectators en-.
tertained themselves guessing at the num-
Der present. The house counted up, &C.
cording to the most of the estimates, 25O0
men and one woman. At varying prices
this would make the box Office receipts in
the neighborhood of 100000.
At 2 O'Clock the gasoline men were still
fussipg with the lighting apparatus, and the
sudden increase in the number of specta-
tors was accounted for by the fact that ad-
mission to any part of the arena was re-
duced to $40. Thousands of good seats
were yet unoccupied.
